56: Eighth-Rank Star Region, the Zhao Family!

Lin You clutched his butt, feeling utterly wronged.

"You're such a grown-up..."

"Going home is going home... you still need someone to escort you."

The words had barely left his mouth when he saw several fists, as big as sandbags, raised.

Lin Tao glared, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"If I tell you to go, then go!"

Lin You conceded, waving his hands repeatedly in surrender.

"I'll go!"

"I'm going now!"

Qin Feng, who had been staying with the Lin Family for a few days, poked his head out.

A mischievous smile was on his Face.

"Then you can see me off too."

Lin You: "Scram!"

"Alright!"

Qin Feng lifted a leg and vanished in a puff of smoke.

After this incident, he realized that the gap between himself and Lin You had not only not narrowed,

but had instead grown larger.

He secretly vowed in his heart to Cultivate even harder!

...After leaving the Lin Family.

Lin You and Zhao Linger stepped into the Void Realm.

The atmosphere was unusually quiet.

It was as if someone had muffled their mouths, not a word was spoken.

Lin You just kept opening the Void Realm, rushing on, and continuing to traverse the Void Realm.

He ran with his head down.

Both of them understood perfectly well that their uncles wanted them to go home together.

It was for them to be alone.

But neither of them could bring themselves to speak, only hurrying along.

The more Zhao Linger thought about it, the angrier she got; she puffed out her cheeks.

Her small fists were clenched tightly.

She couldn't help but curse Lin You in her heart.

"You scoundrel!"

"You're an absolute jerk!"

"This maiden has looks, and she has a figure."

"My talent isn't bad either!"

"You look down on this maiden so much, walking for so long without saying a word!"

"This maiden, at least, indirectly saved your life."

"If I hadn't given the heaven-reaching tree..."

Zhao Linger complained in her heart, more out of the dignity of a great beauty.

Wherever she went, wasn't she always the center of attention?

Only this blockhead Lin You would treat her like this!

The more Zhao Linger thought about it, the angrier she became. Lin You's speed was very fast, and she almost couldn't keep up several times.

In her current anger.

She slammed her fist against Lin You's chest with a 'bang'.

"Why did you hit me!"

Lin You clutched his chest, speaking in a wronged tone.

With Zhao Linger's True Fire Refining Spirit Realm cultivation, she couldn't even break a single hair on him.

"You..."

"Scum!"

Zhao Linger stamped her foot, huffing angrily.

After speaking,

she walked forward without looking back.

Lin You, utterly bewildered, silently followed behind. Although he knew why Brother Tao asked him to escort her home,

he didn't know why Zhao Linger was angry.

He hadn't done anything!

What an injustice, Master Bao!

The two continued their journey in silence.

Lin You took the opportunity to tally his gains.

He hadn't used the two mission rewards from the color critical wheel yet.

There were four in total.

One Heaven-Reaching Twin-Life Tree.

It was the ProMax version of the heaven-reaching tree.

Not only did it greatly amplify Spiritual Qi, but it could also autonomously generate a large amount of Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, the Life Qi it contained was quite terrifying.

Lin You planned to give a section of the sapling to the Zhao Family, considering it as repaying their favor.

And this white tiger golden light sword... tsk tsk.

Lin You couldn't help but click his tongue. Just a gentle swing, without applying any Spiritual Qi Divine Ability,

could cleave the Void Realm.

If he were to then use the Yellow Emperor Sword Canon with it,

he would likely have few rivals even within the True Immortal Realm!

That Heavenly Patrol Envoy and the Su Family Old Ancestor from before would probably have died with one sword strike.

The gains were immense!

Unbeknownst to them, the two had already arrived at the Eighth-Rank Star Domain.

"Just drop me off here..."

"I can go back by myself."

Zhao Linger turned around, speaking softly.

She was clearly refusing, yet there was an indescribable anticipation in her eyes.

"Oh..."

"Alright, then I'll be going."

Lin You didn't notice at all and immediately turned to leave.

Zhao Linger was furious.

Another small fist landed on Lin You's chest.

"Didn't you tell me to leave?"

Lin You feigned pain, saying aggrievedly.

Just then.

A robust voice emanated from the Star Domain of Dreams.

"Ling'er!"

"You're finally back!"

"You've been gone for half a month; I've been worried sick!"

"A young lady, with only True Fire Refining Spirit Realm cultivation, dares to go to a Sixth-Rank Star Domain alone."

"If something happened, how would I explain it to your mother!"

Both of them turned their heads simultaneously.

A plump, jovial, and kind-faced middle-aged man jogged out of the Star Domain, treading on air.

Upon seeing the other person for the first time.

Zhao Linger excitedly stepped forward and embraced him, saying, "Dad!"

The man's Face was filled with melancholy, and his eyes held an indescribable heartache.

"What can I say about you."

"Anyone could have been sent, but you insisted on going yourself."

"The Sixth-Rank Star Domain is not like our home; those are all beings who have Broken through to the Martial Immortal Realm."

"What if something happened to a young lady like you!"

Zhao Linger pouted, her fingers intertwined in front of her, saying without much confidence.

"But nothing happened..."

The middle-aged man was choked with emotion, raising his hand as if to strike, but couldn't bring himself to actually do it.

In the end, he could only raise it high and gently put it down.

After the father and daughter exchanged pleasantries for a while.

They then noticed Lin You standing to the side.

The middle-aged man looked at his daughter, puzzled.

"Who is this?"

Zhao Linger rolled her eyes, "Lin You, the child of your old friend!"

Seeing the other party extend his hand, Lin You couldn't pretend not to see it.

"Junior Lin You."

"Greetings, Uncle."

The middle-aged man beamed, "Good, good, after so many years, you've grown into a man."

"Did you come this time because you were worried about Ling'er, so you specifically escorted her home?"

Lin You nodded awkwardly.

He couldn't exactly say he was forced, could he?

The middle-aged man's smile became even more cordial, and he pulled Lin You towards the Star Domain.

"Since you're here."

"Please don't be polite; our Zhao Family isn't one to be negligent."

"Otherwise, if your uncles find out later, they'll say we don't understand etiquette."

"How about this, stay and play for a few days; let Ling'er show you around."

Lin You was about to refuse, "Uncle... I..."

But he was directly interrupted by the other party.

"Ling'er stayed in the Lin Family for a long time; are you not even going to give me this much Face when you visit?"

"Also, don't call me 'Uncle'; it's too formal."

"Just like when you were little."

"Call me Uncle Zhao!"

After saying that, Uncle Zhao, regardless of anything, took one with his left hand and one with his right.

He led the two young ones towards the Zhao Family.

It was difficult to refuse such hospitality.

Lin You could only nod in agreement.

But he was so anxious... he hadn't used the four color critical wheels, and the Eighth-Rank Star Domain couldn't support his Cultivation!

On the way.

Lin You silently listened to the father and daughter's warm greetings.

Only then did he learn that the Zhao Family was also about to welcome the Prodigy Grand Competition.

It was in half a month.

Uncle Zhao held his daughter's hand, his expression a bit awkward.

"Ling'er, Dad has something that will inconvenience you a bit."

"Young Master Li from the Divine Pill Pavilion is here again..."

"You'll have to deal with him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Linger immediately showed disgust and struggled, saying:

"Dad!"

"How many times have I told you!"

"There's no way I'll be with him!"

Uncle Zhao quickly comforted her, gently patting his daughter's arm.

"Dad knows."

"Dad knows everything!"

"He's not worthy of you."

"But... circumstances are stronger than people; Dad can't do anything..."

"The Prodigy Grand Competition is in half a month. Bear with it for a few days, and then, once we become a Seventh-Rank Family,"

"we won't have to suffer this indignity anymore!"
