Golden Generation Reunited, Brother-in-Law and Love Rival Reduced to Bronze

While carefully guarding against the Little Fox's potential headbutt, Lin Hai gently patted her trembling back, which was still shaking from sobbing, and soothed her in a soft voice:

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault for keeping you waiting so long."

Then his tone suddenly changed, becoming somewhat mischievous:

"But Nana, I told you before I left that if you missed me so much that you couldn't eat or sleep, you should send me a message as soon as possible."

"No matter when or where, I will rush back to be with you."

"But in the letters you've written to me over the years, although you're concerned in every word, you've never mentioned what you just said. Ignorance is no excuse, you know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Liena pinched his lips tightly with her jade-like fingers, twisting them into a rather comical S-shape.

"You... you still dare to anger me?!" Hu Liena raised her tear-filled face, her beautiful eyes wide open, her expression filled with disbelief.

She then complained, feeling wronged, "How can you blame me? It's all the teachers' fault!"

"She told me not to come to you, and said that if I really don't have anything important to do, I should just focus on my cultivation and not cause you any trouble!"

"Tell me, how come I, a dignified Soul Saint, become trouble in the teacher's eyes?!"

Lin Hai raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears that kept sliding down her cheeks with his fingertips. Then he took her small hand from her mouth, held it tightly in his palm, and encouraged her:

"While you're still angry, try to complain about her as much as you can."

"Once your emotions subside, you probably won't have the guts to do it."

His response was a coquettish reproach from Hu Liena, tinged with a hint of Charm, mixed with shyness and annoyance:

"Get lost! You're so annoying!"

Caught off guard, Lin Hai was momentarily stunned by the sudden, Charm voice, his mind fluttering slightly.

Then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he praised:

"Wow, Nana, your Spiritual Power has improved a lot in eight years!"

"Of course!" Upon hearing this, Hu Liena immediately forgot her tears, a hint of smugness appearing on her pretty face. She began to recount her achievements over the years as if they were her most treasured possessions:

"Let me tell you..."

Looking at the perfect couple who had grown up together, Yue Guan and Gui Mei behind them both wore maternal smiles.

These two children are practically grown up under their watchful eyes; their talent and abilities far surpass what they could have achieved back then.

The future of the Spirit Hall is destined to be entrusted to them.

Xie Yue noticed that Yan's expression was getting increasingly grim, so she nudged him lightly with her elbow and secretly transmitted her voice:

'See? I told you to give up a long time ago!'

'Why are you so stubborn?! Aren't you even a little bit envious of Nana's current strength?'

Yan replied irritably via telepathy, his voice tinged with annoyance: 'I'm only reluctant to give it up because I'm envious!'

"You fucking..." Xie Yue was so shocked by his bizarre thought process that she almost fainted, "Is that what I meant?!"

"Have you ever considered that the reason we haven't obtained the Elixir Pill of Immortal Herb is because we've never publicly expressed our support for Lin Hai and Nana being together?"

' Nana said that the earlier you take the Elixir Pill, the greater the benefits!'

Upon hearing this, Yan fell silent, his expression of struggle deepening. Clearly, he was engaged in a fierce internal battle, yet he remained unable to make up his mind.

Seeing his state, Xie Yue's last bit of patience was exhausted, and she transmitted her voice with a hint of disappointment and anger:

The four of us are known as the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall!

"But look closely, Nana is already at the Soul Saint realm, and Lin Hai might even be Soul Douluo!"

'Look at you and me? Still stuck at the Soul King level!'

"When I'm out in public and people mention the 'Golden Generation,' I feel incredibly embarrassed! Don't you feel anything at all?"

"I've said everything I needed to say. Think it over carefully!"

Having said that, Xie Yue ignored Yan's internal struggle and instantly switched to a beaming smile, striding forward to tease Lin Hai:

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you, brother-in-law!"

"I know you and Nana haven't seen each other for eight years and have so much to talk about."

"But you can't just ignore us like we're invisible, can you? At least say hello!"

Hearing the incredibly natural and smooth "brother-in-law," Hu Liena's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her own brother.

Is this still the same Xie Yue who was determined to compete with Lin Hai?

How did I suddenly... have an epiphany?!

Lin Hai clearly hadn't expected Xie Yue to pull this stunt, but in the blink of an eye, he had already figured out the key to it.

There was no real conflict between him and Xie Yue.

It was just that they were both geniuses of their generation, and the other's strength had been suppressed by him for a long time, so he harbored some resentment and a competitive spirit.

In retrospect, he finally realized the reality and feared being left further and further behind in the future, which is why he took the initiative to lower his pride and show goodwill...

Having understood this, Lin Hai's face broke into a warm smile. He stepped forward and addressed the group:

"Sorry, sorry, I was so busy talking to Nana!"

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and the Soul Tool flashed slightly as he took out two exquisite Jade Bottle and two wooden boxes, one large and one small.

He remotely pushed the Jade Bottle in front of Xie Yue and Gui Mei, and then handed the large and small wooden boxes to Yan and Yue Guan.

"This small gift is my apology to everyone, and a greeting gift for our long-awaited reunion."

Both Xie Yue and Gui Mei were shrewd individuals. Without even glancing at the Jade Bottle, they immediately stored it into their respective Soul Tool, their smiles growing even brighter.

They knew that the Jade Bottle must contain the Elixir Pill of Immortal Herb they had been dreaming of!

Yan looked at the largest wooden box in his hand, which looked like a "sincere gift," and felt quite uncomfortable.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened the wooden box in front of everyone.

In an instant, the Soul Power within the box shimmered, and a powerful energy fluctuation spread out.

It was a Spirit Bone with a unique shape and a luminous sheen.

Yue Guan, being the most curious, immediately stepped forward and exclaimed in surprise:

"Wow! Spirit Bone! Judging from the energy fluctuations... it's at least a top-grade one from Soul Beast with over 30,000 years of cultivation!"

His tone was full of envy, but if you looked closely, you would find that there was actually a calmness deep in his eyes.

While Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is certainly precious, it is not considered a rare item in the Spirit Hall today.

The various quality Spirit Bone that Lin Hai sent back to Spirit City alone numbered in the hundreds!

After discussions between the Worship Hall and Bibi Dong, it was decided to lower the contribution standards and prices required for internal members to exchange for Spirit Bone.

With years of accumulated experience, he and Gui Mei each exchanged for and fused a high-quality Spirit Bone that was over 50,000 years old.

In addition, when he successfully broke through to level 96 and expressed his intention to stay in the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong rewarded him with a piece of gold.
