Medicine Trial Assembly Conflict

As Yi Yun stood up, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence. Everyone stared at Yi Yun with a look of surprise and disbelief.

They were all somewhat bewildered. In this situation, if anyone were to step forward and say something, it should be Su Jie, the Lin Family Old Matriarch, or a top-tier figure from the Shentu Family.

What did Yi Yun mean by standing up? Given his status, what right did he have to speak?

"You?" Shentu Nantian looked at Yi Yun and sneered, "What's your name? Who are you in the Lin family? How old are you? What's your cultivation level? Do you even know what kind of occasion this is? And what are the identities of all the elders and seniors present? So many seniors haven't spoken yet, who gave you the right to speak!?"

Although Shentu Nantian wished he could kill Yi Yun, he needed to maintain his image as a gentleman in front of the Lin family and many other prominent Lineage, and he couldn't use vulgar insults.

Even so, his words were full of sarcasm and disdain. His three questions all pointed to Yi Yun's weaknesses. First, Yi Yun was a junior; second, he was not strong enough; and third, he was an outsider who had no real connection with the Lin family. For him to suddenly say that he had something to say at this time was really impolite.

"My name is Yun Yantian, disciple of Elder Su Jie, a guest elder of the Lin family. I am fifteen years old and my cultivation level is at the early stage of the Origin Foundation Realm..."

To everyone's surprise, Yi Yun calmly answered Shentu Nantian's question in the face of his obvious mockery, as if he hadn't noticed the sarcasm in it.

This behavior undoubtedly angered Shentu Nantian and also enraged everyone in the Shentu Family present. Even the Lin family members were puzzled by Yi Yun's actions.

"Elder Su, this is..." Lin Family Old Matriarch looked at Su Jie, puzzled. She had a good impression of Yi Yun, and the young man also gave her the feeling that he knew how to behave and was polite. She didn't know why Yi Yun suddenly stood up.

Su Jie was also completely bewildered; his cheap apprentice had never given him a moment's peace.

"Enough!" Just then, an old voice suddenly rang out from the Shentu Family's side. This voice contained a powerful energy fluctuation that made everyone's ears tremble!

"Smack!"

With a face full of rage, Granny Thousand Hands slammed her hand on the chair beneath her, shattering the armrest into pieces!

Granny Thousand Hands slowly stood up. Her murky eyes stared intently at Yi Yun, like an old vulture eyeing its prey.

She had already had enough of being humiliated by the Shentu Family's dealings with the Lin family.

Especially half a month ago, her most beloved grandson, Shentu Nantian, suffered a backlash in his soul sea. Even after using a large amount of priceless soul-nourishing medicine, he still couldn't completely cure his soul sea and is still recovering, with his cultivation speed greatly impaired.

She also held the Lin family accountable for this. If the Lin family hadn't questioned the Shentu Family's foundation in the Savage Heaven Technique and Shen Shentu Nantian, why would they have held Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party and allowed Shentu Nantian to perform such a dangerous display of skill at the Savage Heaven Master tea party? And this arrogant brat in front of her not only caused trouble at the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, but now, at such an important moment, he's causing trouble again.

"Where did this little beast come from? Doesn't he know any manners? If this were the Shentu Family, I would have already slapped this disrespectful brat who doesn't know his place and jumps out to shout like that!"

Granny Thousand Hands said with a gloomy face. Her words not only scolded Yi Yun, but also implied that the Lin family's rules were not strict, which allowed this disrespectful brat to act recklessly in such a situation. She could not openly scold the Lin family's higher-ups, so she could only vent her anger through this indirect approach.

Hearing Granny Thousand Hands's words, Lin Family Old Matriarch's expression also darkened slightly.

"Granny Thousand Hands, what do you mean by that?" Under these circumstances, the Lin Family Old Matriarch had no choice but to speak up.

"Old Madam Lin," Granny Thousand Hands' tone was no longer as polite as before, "Don't blame this old woman for speaking harshly, this marriage alliance was indeed proposed by my Shentu Family, but isn't it more beneficial to the Lin family? Lin Xin Tong will still be a member of the Lin family after marrying into our Shentu Family, and in the future, she will be the peerless empress of your Lin family. Nantian is just getting a little benefit along the way, and for this, my Shentu Family has paid a huge price to refine that empress's relic!"

"Although the Shentu Family suffered losses due to the Beast Tide ten years ago, we are not begging for the protection of your Lin family. In the next few decades, the Shentu Family may not seek development, but we can still preserve our Lineage's foundation!"

Faced with the combined pressure from Granny Thousand Hands, Old Madam Lin remained silent.

Granny Thousand Hands wouldn't really break ties with Old Madam Lin. She turned to Yi Yun, "You little beast, if it weren't for Old Madam Lin's sake, I would have killed you today!"

As Granny Thousand Hands spoke, an aura pressed down on Yi Yun. This was not the Emperor's pressure, but rather the natural aura of a superior that Granny Thousand Hands had developed after long holding a high position.

Yi Yun pinched the tip of his nose. Being such a petty person, he naturally disliked being pointed at and insulted. He casually straightened his cuff with one hand and said softly, "I thought... people should be more mature as they get older..."

When Yi Yun said this, everyone in the room was stunned!

Even Su Jie and Old Madam Lin were caught off guard and didn't react immediately.

What was he saying? Although he didn't swear, his tone and manner were undoubtedly more likely to incite hatred than any actual insult!

Moreover, what Yi Yun said was actually correct. Although it was a bit disrespectful for Yi Yun to stand up and speak in such a setting, it was really unbecoming of Granny Thousand Hands to jump out and start cursing because of a single sentence from Yi Yun!

Granny Thousand Hands' eyes suddenly turned red, as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her face, the crimson color gradually swallowing up the wrinkles on her face. She looked at Yi Yun with shock and anger, her expression like that of an old cat whose tail had suddenly been torn off.

"You little beast, you're asking for death!"

Granny Thousand Hands wanted to kill Yi Yun, but at that moment, Su Jie and Lin Xin Tong stood up at the same time. Su Jie flashed and was already in front of Yi Yun.

Meanwhile, Lin Family Old Matriarch also had a powerful aura locked onto Yi Yun. As long as Granny Thousand Hands made a move, Old Madam Lin could use her abilities to pull Yi Yun back.

"Yan Tian, what are you doing!"

While protecting Yi Yun, Su Jie said with a hint of despair, "I'm speechless. What is Yi Yun doing, lecturing Granny Thousand Hands in front of so many people!"

"I'm not doing anything, it's just... I think there's something wrong with the Empress's relic that the Shentu Family brought out!"

Yi Yun spoke with absolute certainty, as if he had everything under control.

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone, from the elders of the Lin family to the high-ranking members of the Shentu Family, was stunned.

However, the elders of the Shentu Family only hesitated for a moment before glaring angrily at Yi Yun.

"What nonsense are you spouting, junior!"

"Outrageous! How dare they slander the Empress's Relic, which my Shentu Family painstakingly crafted at countless costs and through immense hardship! If the Lin family doesn't give us an explanation today, I will not rest until we have done so!"

The elders of the Shentu Family had reached their limit of tolerance for Yi Yun. At this moment, Granny Thousand Hands had a gloomy face, and her turbid eyes, filled with murderous intent, seemed to pierce through Yi Yun!

She said, enunciating each word clearly, "I want the Lin family to hand this little beast over to me for disposal! Otherwise, you might as well not eat this Empress's relic!"

Granny Thousand Hands was furious. She began to threaten the Lin family with the Empress's Relic, saying that if they did not hand over Yi Yun, the Empress's Relic would no longer be given to Lin Xin Tong!

Many of the Lin family elders' expressions changed upon hearing this.

This Empress Relic is related to Lin Xin Tong incurable Fatal Meridian and whether the Lin family can produce an unparalleled Empress who will rule the Tianyuan Realm in the future.

Although Yi Yun is of considerable value to the Lin family, compared to Lin Xin Tong, it is almost negligible.

They didn't know what had gotten into Yi Yun. At this moment, although many Lin family elders wanted to protect Yi Yun, they couldn't stop him from courting death. Why did he have to provoke this old woman?

This Granny Thousand Hands has always been ruthless, especially after she got old, she became even more obsessive and vicious. Anyone who offends her and falls into her hands will definitely suffer a fate worse than death!

"Is there a problem? What's the problem?"

Yi Yun's words touched a nerve with the Old Madam. She had only reluctantly agreed to the marriage because of consideration for Lin Xin Tong's lifespan. If there was a problem with the Empress's relic, it would definitely enrage the Old Madam!

"What problem could there be, Old Madam? Stop listening to this brat's nonsense!" At this moment, Lin Xin Tong's great-aunt stood up. She had long disliked Yi Yun.

"The Shentu Family went to such great lengths to refine the Empress's Relic, could they have poisoned it? They lost a precious medicine, offended the Lin family, all just to kill Xin Tong? What a joke! What good would that do them?"

"Besides, you, Old Madam, personally examined the Empress's relic. Could it be that your Old Madam eye is inferior to that of a mere youth? In my opinion, we should just hand this kid over to the Shentu Family. After all, he's not a member of our Lin family!"

Lin Xin Tong's great-aunt sneered at Yi Yun, thinking, "He brought this upon himself, so he has no one else to blame but himself!"

What Lin Xin Tong's great-aunt said was actually the opinion of all the elders of the Lin family. What gave Yi Yun the right to say that there was something wrong with the Empress's relic?

However, the Old Madam did not immediately dismiss Yi Yun, because her impression of Yi Yun at the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party suggested Yi Yun wasn't the type to act recklessly. A glint of surprise flashed in Old Madam eyes. "Young friend Yun, please tell me, why are you so certain that this Empress's relic is problematic?"

After asking this question, the Old Madam used her spiritual energy to transmit her voice to Yi Yun, saying, "Young friend Yun, you must choose your words carefully. If you cannot give a reasonable explanation, although I can still protect your life, you will suffer too much pressure and criticism."
