Background
Lin Yun is a second-rank Martial Master. When Yang Xiaoran demands that Li Yao apologize to him over a collision, Lin Yun intervenes on her behalf and argues that Li Yao should overlook her slap. Li Yao knocks him unconscious with a single slap 1. The public humiliation keeps Lin Yun away from school and fuels his desire for revenge 37.
After being acknowledged as a son of the Lin Family patriarch, Lin Yun offers to protect the indebted Yang Family. He plans to have them announce that they can repay Li Yao, then kill him when he arrives to collect. News that Li Yao has won the university tournament makes Lin Yun fear his first Martial Venerable reinforcement will not be enough, so he persuades his father to send a second 12 33.
At the Yang estate, Lin Yun's fighters pin down Li Yao and Li Wenbin, allowing him to slap Li Yao repeatedly. Li Yao then calls in two Li Family Martial Kings, who overpower the fighters 37. Lin Yun begs for his life and blames Yang Xiaoran for the plot. Li Yao spares him as a potential hostage but orders his limbs broken 38. Li Yao takes him back to the Lin estate and demands compensation; Lin Yuntian pays to secure his release 40 41. Lin Yun is last seen inside the estate, still in pain 42.
Appearance
Lin Yun is described at his first appearance as a frail-looking boy with an aggrieved expression 1.
