Before long, Lin Xia arrived, stepping on her Flying Sword.
"Lin Yun, Lin Dong, Grandpa wants to see you."
As soon as she landed, she asked, "Did those guys from the Lin Clan come here just now and get bullied by you?"
Lin Dong said disdainfully, "We didn't even need to lift a finger. Bao Qiang and Bao Zhen just scared them, and those few ran back with their tails between their legs."
"Sigh, they said you let your beasts attack them and threatened to make you hand over Bao Qiang and Bao Zhen for them to deal with," Lin Xia sighed, also quite angry. "Some people in the clan are just like that; they don't treat the branch families as clan members at all."
"But you don't need to worry about Lin Feng and those others. This time, the person leading them is Grandpa's good friend. Grandpa wants you to go and meet him. Don't make things too awkward."
"Let's go!" Lin Yun nodded.
"Oh, right, there are two people you should pay attention to, a man and a woman. In the Lin Clan, they are both considered outstanding. The man is called Lin Chen, and the woman is called Lin Ke'er," Lin Xia reminded them.
It was best not to offend such clan geniuses.
The three of them arrived at the front hall and saw the group from the Lin Clan.
In the main seats, a gray-clothed old man sat alongside Lin Zhentian.
In the seats below, two young people sat, a man and a woman.
The man looked to be around twenty years old, tall and strong, with a slightly handsome appearance, dressed in luxurious clothes, and possessing an extraordinary demeanor.
The woman was quite stunning, wearing a white dress, with a beautiful and moving appearance. What was most surprising was her eyes; she actually had a pair of double pupils. Blue light flowed around the edges of the double pupils, making them look extremely enchanting.
Seeing them enter, that Lin Feng immediately stood up and pointed at Lin Yun resentfully, "Elder Tao, Brother Lin Chen, it was these two! They released the Black Iron Demon Leopard to attack us. We almost died in the mouth of that Black Iron Demon Leopard."
"Shut up, sit down!" the gray-clothed old man reprimanded.
"Yun'er, is there some misunderstanding here?" Lin Zhentian asked.
Lin Yun said indifferently, "Grandpa, there's no misunderstanding. If I hadn't seen that they were from the clan, they would have already died just now."
"Heh heh, what arrogant words. Did two Core Formation Realm demonic beasts give you courage?"
At this moment, the person named Lin Chen, who was in front of Lin Feng and the others, sneered.
"Courage is never given by external things." Lin Yun stared at him and said impolitely, "Since you've come to the Lin family, act like proper guests. Don't be shameless. Although you also have the surname Lin, this is not your home. If you continue to be so arrogant and provocative, don't blame the host for not giving you face."
As soon as these words were spoken, the few people from the Lin Clan were stunned. They clearly didn't expect Lin Yun to be so arrogant.
They had just arrived and didn't know Lin Yun.
They habitually felt that a small branch family wouldn't have anyone they needed to fear, which was why they were so disdainful.
"Heh heh, I'd like to see how you won't give me face," Lin Chen retorted, looking at Lin Yun with provocative eyes.
"System, establish task!"
Task: Slap Lin Chen. Reward: One bottle of Seventh Grade Origin Power Pill.
"Slap!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound spread out.
Lin Chen was directly slapped off his seat, spinning several times in the air before rolling out of the main hall.
"Brother Lin Chen!"
Lin Feng and the others were dumbfounded, filled with disbelief.
Lin Chen was one of the most outstanding among them, yet he was so easily defeated.
"What strong Mental Energy!"
The white-clothed woman exclaimed in surprise.
Her pair of blue eyes looked at Lin Yun in astonishment.
At least a Four Seal Symbol Master... Lin Ke'er was shocked in her heart.
"Yun'er, don't be so impulsive!" Lin Zhentian patted his thigh helplessly.
Now that Lin Yun was a Shapeshifting Realm expert, he naturally couldn't be insulted casually, so Lin Zhentian wouldn't be angry with him.
"Brother Tao, restrain your people. Angering Yun'er won't do them any good."
Lin Zhentian quickly advised the gray-clothed old man beside him.
"Elder Tao!"
The people from the clan all looked at Elder Tao, seemingly wanting him to suppress Lin Yun.
"I didn't expect you to cultivate such a strong junior."
Elder Tao's eyes were complex, with some surprise and some difficulty.
He had a good relationship with Lin Zhentian and should have been happy for him, but now that things had reached this point, these juniors definitely couldn't sit together and get along.
Although he was the leader, he also had some trouble controlling these arrogant juniors.
"I'll remember this slap today!"
Lin Chen stood outside the hall, looking at Lin Yun with gloomy eyes, gritting his teeth as he left a harsh remark, then turned and walked out of the Lin family gate.
"Brother Lin Chen!"
Lin Feng and the others quickly followed.
Only Elder Tao and the woman in white remained.
"Alas!"
Lin Zhentian sighed, then introduced,
"Yun'er, this is an old friend of mine for many years, just call him Elder Tao."
"This trip to the ancient tomb estate is led by Elder Tao. I originally wanted you all to go together and look out for each other, but now it seems it's unnecessary."
"Elder Tao!" Lin Yun cupped his hands.
"To have such strength at such a young age, you will surely stand out in the Clan Competition two years from now. It seems your grandfather's wish to return to the inner clan will be fulfilled by you."
Elder Tao seriously sized up Lin Yun, saying with some earnestness, "Those few have always been arrogant and looked down on those from the branch families. What happened today isn't entirely your fault; it's good for them to suffer a setback. However, you don't need to be so impulsive with your temper. Within the clan, there are many more talented individuals stronger than them, and you might not be able to defeat them all. Before you fully mature, it's better to be more restrained. It's not easy for the Flame City branch family to produce a genius; don't let him be lost."
Lin Dong, who was listening nearby, secretly clenched his fists.
Everyone knew what Elder Tao's words meant.
He was hinting at the matter of Lin Xiao to Lin Yun and the others.
At the last Clan Competition, their family's most outstanding member, Lin Xiao, was severely injured by the young and famous Lin Langtian, destroying his Dantian.
And now, the number one genius of the Lin Clan is precisely Lin Langtian.
This person disdains the branch families. If he knew that Lin Yun had bullied someone from the main clan, he would likely be detrimental to Lin Yun.
"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Tao!" Lin Yun cupped his hands again.
"Old friend, I'll take my leave now. I still need to go check on them."
Elder Tao proposed to leave.
As the leader, he had to look after Lin Chen and the others and couldn't abandon them.
"Farewell, see you at the ancient tomb estate!"
Lin Ke'er slightly curtsied, smiling sweetly at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun nodded slightly in response. On Lin Ke'er, he sensed a strong fluctuation of Mental Energy, at least that of a Three Seal Symbol Master.
"Yun'er, be careful on this trip to the ancient tomb estate. Elder Tao and the others are just scouting ahead. The clan's stronger members will arrive later. According to him, the one the clan is sending this time is precisely Lin Langtian."
"It was rumored several years ago that this person had entered the Creation Three Realms!"
"Besides the Lin Clan, the other three great sects also have strong individuals arriving, who should be similar in strength to Lin Langtian."
"Although you have already entered the Shapeshifting Realm, you must not be careless. In front of the young geniuses of the Four Great Sects, the Shapeshifting Realm is only average."
"If you encounter them, try to avoid their sharp edge and don't contend with them!"
Lin Zhentian earnestly reminded him.
He was truly worried about these two genius grandsons! "Understood, Grandpa, we will be careful."
Lin Yun verbally agreed, reassuring Lin Zhentian.
In Lin Zhentian's eyes, the Four Great Sects were colossal entities that couldn't be offended.
However, Lin Yun was disdainful. If they dared to provoke him, he would still step on them.
Give him another year or two, and the Four Great Sects could also be stepped underfoot.
Lin Yun called out to Lin Dong, "Let's go, we should also prepare to set off!"
