Going to the Imperial Capital

At the gates of the Lin Clan, after seeing Elder Tao off, Lin Langtian silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Since his rebirth, what had troubled him most was how to handle his complicated relationship with Lin Dong.

After all, deep down, he greatly admired Lin Dong. Yet the original body's reckless actions had placed them at odds with each other.

Fortunately, things had not yet reached the worst possible point. Perhaps he could change the fate that had made them sworn enemies in the original timeline.

Although it was still uncertain whether the belated apology would make Lin Dong let go of his hatred, having taken this step, Lin Langtian believed that, given his understanding of Lin Dong's character, the two would at least not come to open warfare.

Shaking his head, Lin Langtian stopped dwelling on the matter.

Though he did not wish to become enemies with Lin Dong, with Spirit Aunt's help, even if Lin Dong did not appreciate it, he would not be afraid of the future Martial Ancestor.

Having settled the matter, Lin Langtian returned to his courtyard.

"Brother Langtian, over here."

As he passed the training ground, a light and agile female voice suddenly called out, causing Lin Langtian to shift his gaze slightly.

The young woman wore a white dress, and her appearance was beautiful and moving.

Most astonishingly, her eyes possessed a pair of Dual Pupils. Blue light flowed along their edges, making them look exceptionally strange and enchanting.

Beside her stood many young generation clan members from the Inner Clan, sparring and training with one another. When they saw Lin Langtian, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at the handsome young man in the green shirt with respect and admiration.

"So it's you, Ke'er. It's already noon, and you're still training?" Lin Langtian smiled faintly as he looked at the young woman with Dual Pupils.

He was no stranger to her. She was Lin Ke'er, the genius of the clan's young generation second only to himself.

In fact, without Mu Shi of the Primordial Spirit's help, the original body might not even have been able to suppress her.

And in the original timeline, among the entire Inner Clan young generation, Lin Ke'er seemed to be the only one who had left Lin Dong with a favorable impression.

"Hehe, our talents are all inferior to yours, Brother Langtian. If we do not let Diligence Compensate for Lack of Talent, the gap between us and you will only grow wider." Lin Ke'er smiled as her azure beautiful eyes remained fixed on Lin Langtian.

"That's right. I heard Brother Langtian broke through to the Shaping Realm some time ago and was even promoted to Law Enforcement Elder. We truly cannot compare."

Beside Lin Ke'er, a tall and strong young man in his early twenties spoke.

Lin Langtian looked over and recognized him as well. He was Lin Chen, another highly ranked genius among the Inner Clan young generation.

"Enough, stop flattering me. The world is vast, and the Great Yan Dynasty is small. These achievements are nothing worth mentioning." Lin Langtian waved his hand calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and the others assumed Lin Langtian was merely being modest. However, a trace of confusion appeared in Lin Ke'er's azure beautiful eyes.

Unlike ordinary people, she could sense that Lin Langtian truly did not care from the bottom of his heart.

At that thought, Lin Ke'er could not help but be stunned. The Lin Langtian in her memories had never been so humble...

As they spoke, everyone in the Lin Family training ground who saw Lin Langtian approach had respect and admiration rise in their eyes.

Lin Langtian held extremely high prestige in the Lin Family. Moreover, he personally taught the martial arts of the Lin Family's younger members most of the time, making those of his generation even more full of awe toward him.

Smiling at everyone, Lin Langtian simply sat down in the training ground. Before long, several younger Lin Family members came over one after another to seek advice on martial arts.

Lin Langtian patiently and carefully taught them. Thanks to the memories of his previous self, his understanding of martial arts could be considered the best among the Lin Family's younger generation.

It was precisely because of this that the clan had assigned this coach-like task to Lin Langtian.

This instruction continued for nearly two hours. Lin Langtian looked at the sky and was just about to rise when a steady voice suddenly sounded.

"Langtian, you really are here."

As the voice fell, a middle-aged man with a profound aura slowly walked over.

"Greetings, Clan Leader!"

The newcomer was none other than Lin Fan, the clan leader of the Lin Clan.

Upon seeing Lin Fan, Lin Langtian and the many younger members were all startled before hurriedly greeting him with respect.

"Hehe, you are all the future of the Lin Clan. There is no need for such formality." Lin Fan waved his hand and smiled.

"Clan Leader, why do you have time to visit the training ground today? Are you here to see Brother Langtian?" Lin Ke'er stepped forward and asked with a light smile.

"As expected of Ke'er, you are indeed clever. That's right, I came to see Langtian." Lin Fan smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian raised his brows and cupped his hands respectfully. "May I ask what orders the Clan Leader has?"

"It concerns Ling Qingzhu, the disciple sent to the Great Yan Dynasty by that Super Sect. Although she is a distinguished guest of the Imperial Family, as one of the Four Great Clans of the Great Yan Empire, the Lin Clan cannot fail to show its regard.

You are going to the Imperial Capital, are you not? After discussion among the clan's high-level members, the clan has decided to give you five hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills to build goodwill with Ling Qingzhu. It may not be much, but it would be good if you can win over some of her favor."

As he spoke, Lin Fan waved his right hand, and a Black Cosmic Bag landed in Lin Langtian's hand.

"Five hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills?" Taking the Black Cosmic Bag, Lin Langtian was stunned for a moment before a flash of delight passed through his eyes.

Though Lin Fan said that the five hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills were meant to build goodwill with Ling Qingzhu, Lin Langtian knew that she would not care about such a small amount at all.

In that case, he might as well make good use of them himself.

However, despite thinking so, Lin Langtian still replied respectfully, "Langtian will certainly make Ling Qingzhu leave with a favorable impression of the Lin Clan."

"That would be for the best. I hear Ling Qingzhu has an extraordinary background. If you can befriend her, she may be of great use in the future." Lin Fan said solemnly.

"Mm, Langtian will do his best." Lin Langtian nodded.

"Clan Leader, Brother Langtian is going to the Imperial Capital. Can he take us with him?" Lin Ke'er quickly asked from the side.

As soon as she spoke, the many Inner Clan young generation members nearby all revealed hopeful looks.

Though Lin City was not much less prosperous than the Imperial Capital, it was still the imperial city of the Great Yan Dynasty, making it highly alluring to young people.

At this, Lin Fan looked toward Lin Langtian. "Langtian, what do you think?"

Lin Langtian frowned slightly. Deep down, he did not want to bring along deadweight.

However, as the leader of the clan's young generation, he ought to follow the wishes of the people. Thus, he said,

"They can come, but there can be no more than five people. Ke'er, Lin Chen, discuss among yourselves who will come with me."

After some thought, Lin Langtian decided to toss the matter back to them. If there were only five pieces of deadweight, he could still manage them.

Hearing Lin Langtian agree, Lin Ke'er and the others were delighted despite there being only Five Quotas. They all said, "Thank you, Brother Langtian."

After thanking him, under Lin Langtian's gaze, the Five Quotas were quickly decided upon: Lin Ke'er, Lin Chen, and two other men and one woman.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian smiled faintly. "Rest up tonight. We leave for the Imperial Capital tomorrow!"
