Chapter 196 - The Enemy, The Yin Clan
Chapter 196 The Enemy, The Yin Clan
Lin Jiansheng tilted his head and said to Sheng Lingfeng, “This child has no parents. Other than her father, I’m her only kin. She likes to act childish.”
Patriarch Sheng revealed an envious expression. He said, “Supremacy Lin is so lucky to be able to accept a personal disciple who is a dual cultivator. I’m so envious.”
The battle between Yu Huang and Xuanyuan Jing at the Divine Realm Academy half a year ago had long spread to all the major clans. Upon learning that Yu Huang was actually a dual cultivator, there was no one in the six great clans who didn’t envy Lin Jiansheng.
He took in the world’s only dual cultivator. Who wouldn’t be envious of such good fortune?
Lin Jiansheng chuckled and said meaningfully, “When accepting a disciple, it’s not about the quantity, but the essence.”
Sheng Lingfeng immediately thought of Saint Xuan Ye.
Everyone knew that Saint Xuan Ye had accepted many disciples, and each of them was a rather talented Purifying Spirit Master. However, no matter how talented those disciples were, they were still inferior when compared to Yu Huang, who was a dual cultivator.
Sheng Lingfeng knew that Lin Jiansheng was showing off, so he didn’t expose him and just laughed along
Unlike the other five great clans, Sheng Lingfeng did not feel envious or jealous about Yu Huang being a Dual Cultivator. He only felt happy because this child was a couple with his son. If their relationship developed steadily, Yu Huang would become his daughter-in-law sooner or later!
When he thought about how envious and jealous the other Patriarchs would be when Yu Huang married Sheng Xiao, Sheng Lingfeng was secretly pleased.
Lin Jiansheng continued, “I heard that the red elm fruit of the Yin Clan is about to ripen. The six major clans will bring their disciples to the Yin Clan to attend this grand event. My disciple has no one to rely on. As her mentor, I’m worried and I have to look after her.”
Sheng Lingfeng had also guessed that Lin Jiansheng was here for this matter. He said, “Supremacy Lin, you have thought it through. I believe the Yin Clan will welcome you as a guest.”
“Hehe, when the Prime Master was still alive, I often went to the Yin Clan to play. In a flash, I haven’t been to the Yin Clan for more than twenty years. I wonder if the changes in the Yin Clan are big.”
Sheng Lingfeng said, “It’s still the same. Under Yin Mingchong’s management, although the Yin family isn’t as powerful as it used to be, it’s still developing well.”
“Then I want to see it all the more.”
A servant came to report the matter to Sheng Lingfeng. Only then did Sheng Lingfeng bid farewell to Lin Jiansheng and return to settle the matter.
Once Sheng Lingfeng left, Yu Huang held Lin Jiansheng’s hand and said, “The red elm tree is the Yin Clan’s treasure. Have you thought of any good ideas?” Lin Jiansheng smiled enigmatically. “You will naturally know the method when the time comes.”
Seeing that Lin Jiansheng was unwilling to say more, Yu Huang knew that she could not pry open his mouth.
Lin Jiansheng had come to Yufu City as a guest, so he naturally couldn’t leave empty-handed.
It was summer, and it was the peak period for Beast Tamers to awaken their beast forms. Lin Jiansheng decided to host the awakening ceremony in Yufu City. He personally helped the children cleanse their spirits.
This time, the Sheng family had awakened a total of 23 young Beast Tamers, including three high-level Beast Tamers.
Yu Huang had been observing from the side.
After the Awakening Ceremony ended, Lin Jiansheng said to her, “After the Cong Lang Mystic Realm’s training is over, follow me to the Broken Cliff to enter seclusion. It’s time for you to start cultivating your Purifying Spirit Art.”
“Yes, Mentor.”
On the third day, Sheng Lingfeng received an invitation from the Yin Clan, who said that the red elm fruit was about to ripen. Yin Mingchong sincerely invited the Sheng Clan disciples to the Yin Clan to share this joyous moment.
After reading the invitation, Sheng Lingfeng thought for a moment and said to Mrs. Sheng, “I’ve been busy recently, and Xiaoxiao has gone out to train, so he can’t go to the Yin family on my behalf. Why don’t you take the disciples with you?”
Mrs. Sheng was drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror. When she heard that, she stuffed the eyebrow pencil into Sheng Lingfeng’s palm. “Draw my eyebrows. If I’m satisfied, I’ll go on your behalf.”
Sheng Lingfeng, not knowing where to start, held the eyebrow pencil.
He pressed his glabella and said in a deep voice, “Why don’t we go to bed now? Once I make you comfortable, you can go on my behalf.”
Mrs Sheng rolled her eyes. “That’s not impossible.”
That afternoon, Yu Huang didn’t see Mrs. Sheng again.
The next day, Lady Sheng put on the Sheng family’s uniform and led the 50 outstanding disciples of the Sheng family to the Yin family. Yu Huang, Na Luo and Lin Jiansheng accompanied her.
The Sheng Clan’s uniform was of a uniform navy blue color, regardless of gender. A golden thread was used to carve the word ‘Sheng’ on the chest.
All the disciples wore cloaks and stood side by side. They were truly imposing.
The Yin clan and the Sheng clan had both moved to Jingdu. They were not far away, but the Sheng clan had still activated their flying transport in order to show off.
There was a rest area in the flying transport. Lin Jiansheng played chess with Yu Huang. He held a cup of tea in his left hand and a chess piece in his right. He said to Yu Huang, “Do you see this? This is the ostentation of a large family clan. It only took three hours to drive from the Sheng clan to the Yin clan, but they were so rich that they used a flying transport…”
Lin Jiansheng put down his teacup and stared at Yu Huang. He said, “When you get married to Sheng Xiao in the future, I don’t think you should bring any dowry with you. Just treat me as your dowry and bring me to the Sheng family as well. Let me lead a good life.”
This kind of life where he had an aircraft to sit on when he went out was really too satisfying.
Luckily, Yu Huang did not drink the tea. Otherwise, she would have spat the tea on Lin Jiansheng’s face.
“Mentor, you’re a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master. Can’t you be more promising?” Yu Huang was amused by Lin Jiansheng. “Since ancient times, there has only been a saying that a lady from a noble family gets married with a maid. Have you ever seen a lady who doesn’t bring dowry but brings her mentor?”
Lin Jiansheng snorted and said, “I’m a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master. Isn’t that more valuable than my dowry?”
“You’re not old.” Lin Jiansheng looked like a tough middle-aged man in his forties. He did not look old at all.
Lin Jiansheng threw the chess piece on the chessboard and asked Yu Huang shamelessly, “Tell me, are you bringing me or not!”
Yu Huang also fiercely threw down the chess piece in her hand and angrily said, “No!” Then, Yu Huang said again, “What’s there to bring! In the future, I will become rich. I will let you live a good life!”
Lin Jiansheng immediately beamed with joy. “Then I have to use an aircraft when I travel.”
“No problem.”
“I want to buy a hundred sports cars!”
“Yes.”
“I want to marry a hundred beautiful wives!”
“… well, that depends on what you can do.”
Before the sky turned dark, the master and disciple were already daydreaming.
Soon, they arrived at the Yin Clan.
The flying vessel stopped above a spacious square. Yin Mingchong’s eldest disciple had already received his orders and was waiting here.
When he saw the Sheng Clan’s flying transport arrive, that person quickly tidied up his clothes and walked under the Sheng Clan’s flying transport. He shouted loudly, “Yin Clan’s eldest disciple, Yin Cangsheng, welcomes Lady Sheng’s arrival!” The doors of the flying transport opened on both sides. Holding a beaver cat in her arms, Mrs Sheng stepped out of the flying transport.
The navy blue clothing accentuated Madam Sheng’s elegant and sexy figure, making her look graceful and noble. Behind her was Lin Jiansheng, who was dressed in the red robe of a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master, as well as Sheng Yang, Na Luo and Yu Huang, the three juniors.
The 50 young Sheng disciples followed closely behind.
Madam Sheng walked up to Yin Cangsheng and said with a smile, “It’s been a few years since we last met. Zang Sheng has already become a father. You seem much more mature now.”
Yin Cangsheng smiled, and his face seemed to carry Yin Mingchong’s shadow. “Thank you for your praise, Madam. Please follow me into the estate.”
“Okay.”
The Liuli Clan and the Garo Clan were quite far away. They arrived at the Yin Clan yesterday. The Mo Clan and the Xuanyuan Clan also arrived at the Yin Clan an hour ago. The Sheng Clan was the last to arrive.
As the head of the six families, the Sheng family should be the last to appear.
After entering the Yin residence, all the disciples were arranged to rest in the main hall of the Yin residence. Lady Sheng and Lin Jiansheng were brought to the living room by Yin Zangsheng.
The front door opened and Mrs Sheng walked in gracefully with the leopard cat in her arms.
Yin Mingchong and the others had received the news long ago. They knew that Sheng Lingfeng couldn’t leave because he was busy, so Mrs. Sheng would bring the disciples of the family here.
Hence, as soon as the door opened, everyone stood up and greeted the charming Mrs. Sheng. “Good morning, Mrs. Sheng!” Mrs. Sheng bowed to Yin Mingchong with the cat in her arms and said, “Good morning, Patriarch Yin.”
“Mrs. Sheng, please take a seat.”
Mrs Sheng smiled and said without taking a seat, “I brought an old friend with me today. He’s an old acquaintance of everyone here.”
Everyone was surprised.
Yin Mingchong smiled flawlessly and asked, “May I know which old friend?”.
“It’s me!” Wearing a red Purifying Spirit Master robe, Lin Jiansheng strode into the living room.
The moment he entered, everyone’s attention was drawn to his bald head.
Yin Mingchong stared at Lin Jiansheng for a while before asking in bewilderment, “Lin Jian…”
He almost blurted out Lin Jiansheng’s real name, but then he remembered that this person was already a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master. He was the president of the Purifying Spirit Academy’s branch, and he was no longer that nerd from the Divine Realm Academy. Yin Mingchong quickly corrected himself and said, “So it’s Supremacy Lin!”
Noticing this detail, the Patriarchs blinked and did not express their thoughts.
Lin Jiansheng put on a fake smile and said to Yin Mingchong, “Second Young Master Yin…” Halfway through his sentence, he seemed to have realized that this person was no longer the Second Young Master of the Yin Clan, but the Yin Clan’s Patriarch. He changed his words and said,” Patriarch Yin, it’s been twenty years since we last met. How have you been?”
Lin Jiansheng’s reaction could be said to be very effective.
Seeing this, the other patriarchs had mixed expressions. Everyone knew that when Yin Mingjue was still alive, Lin Jiansheng and Yin Donghai were Yin Mingjue’s most trusted friends. On the other hand, Yin Mingchong, who was Yin Mingchong’s cousin, had never received Yin Mingjue’s favor.
They were like enemies.
Yin Mingchong acted as if he did not notice Lin Jiansheng’s provocation. He chuckled and said, “Supremacy Lin is an honored guest. It’s a pleasure to have a friend from afar. Supremacy Lin, please take a seat!”
The servant brought a chair over and placed it beside Mrs. Sheng.
Lin Jiansheng sat down steadily.
Yin Mingchong raised his cup of tea, and a wisp of a ruthless expression flashed in his eyes as he lowered his eyes to sip his tea.
Old lap dog!
