Open your eyes and tell lies to the extreme

What the hell?

Had this world gone abnormal, or had their ears malfunctioned and heard wrong?

Everyone looked at each other, filled with disbelief.

With heavy doubts, Lin Hanyi and others quickly rushed to the reception hall.

Sure enough.

At this moment, the reception hall was full of people, all of them prominent Family Heads from Fengtian City.

Besides these people, at the entrance of the reception hall, large and small packages, all kinds of gold, silver, and jewels were piled up into a small mountain.

And upon seeing Lin Hanyi leading the Family members out, those waiting quickly came to greet him.

"Oh, Brother Lin, long time no see."

The Fang Family Head was the first to step forward, as if they had been good friends for decades, he tightly clasped Lin Hanyi's hands and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, do you still remember that scene eighty years ago outside Fengtian City, when we dug for loaches together? Recalling it now, it's truly unforgettable."

"Of course, besides reminiscing with you today, I also heard recently that an unaccomplished scoundrel from my Fang Family coveted Brother Lin's Family's shop, which caused a bit of unpleasantness between our two Families."

"Alas, it's all my fault for being in secluded cultivation before; I only learned of this matter after coming out of cultivation today, which led to such a grave mistake!"

"But rest assured, after coming out of cultivation, I severely disciplined that scoundrel from our Fang Family and completely removed him from his position. And I immediately brought gifts to Brother Lin's house to apologize."

"So, I hope Brother Lin, please don't hold it against our Fang Family!"

"Come on, help me present the gifts."

As he spoke, the Fang Family presented several Storage Rings, which contained various priceless resources.

However.

The Fang Family Head wasn't finished yet when the Gu Family Head stepped forward with another quick stride.

"Brother Hanyi, I'm so sorry!"

The Gu Family Head wailed, shaking his head and sighing, "My clansmen told me they found an unmined mineral deposit outside the city, so I took people to mine it. But who knew, who knew this mineral deposit already had an owner, and it was your Family's, Brother Hanyi."

"When I found out about this, I felt so guilty. It clearly had an owner, yet I didn't investigate the situation and mined it privately, causing such a big misunderstanding between our Lin and Gu Families."

"I, I'm truly not a good person, I've let your Lin Family down."

As he spoke, the Gu Family Head even slapped himself twice in regret, sighing, "Brother Hanyi, I'm here today mainly to resolve the misunderstanding between our two Families, so please don't take offense."

"Of course, to compensate for the mistake my Gu Family made, I plan to give Brother Hanyi the two best quality mineral veins outside our Gu Family city as compensation."

"Now all of my Gu Family's people have withdrawn, Brother Hanyi can send people to take over at any time!"

For a moment.

Inside the Lin Family's reception hall, the various Family Heads began to put on various clumsy performances.

To curry favor with the Lin Family, they would stop at nothing.

Some came to propose marriage.

Some wanted to become sworn brothers with Lin Hanyi.

Some wanted to treat the entire Lin Family to a meal.

One Family Head truly didn't know how else to curry favor; he was half a year older than Lin Hanyi, yet he knelt on the ground, asking Lin Hanyi to adopt him as his godson.

The entire scene was a spectacle of ugliness.

Yet it was extremely realistic.

Throughout history, in different eras and different places, it has always been like this.

It could be called the most authentic portrayal.

Lin Hanyi and the others stared with wide eyes, completely bewildered.

Looking at the fawning crowd before them, it felt like a dream.

One moment they were clamoring to attack their Lin Family, the next they were coming to apologize, their low attitude was astonishing.

"You all..."

Lin Hanyi looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

Just then, a servant came to report from outside, "Family Head, Family Head, Young Revered Master is back."

"What, Feng'er is back?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanyi and the others disregarded the many Family Heads and quickly went to the door to greet him.

"Is it Lin Feng?"

"Go, go, we should also follow, quickly follow."

Upon hearing this, those Family Heads also followed behind Lin Hanyi and the others.

At the entrance, Lin Feng was carrying large and small bags, followed by Zhong Qing and his Puppet, as they just entered the door.

"Feng'er."

"It's so good that you've returned safely."

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Lin Hanyi's eyes welled up with tears, and he immediately embraced Lin Feng.

Ever since the engagement was broken off by the Murong Family last time, Lin Feng, unable to bear the blow, had left Fengtian City and disappeared without a trace.

Many people rumored that Lin Feng had already died outside.

Now that Lin Feng had returned safely, how could Lin Hanyi, as a father, not be happy?

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

The other Elders of the Lin Family also surrounded Lin Feng, asking about his well-being, and checking his body. Seeing that Lin Feng was safe and sound, they were also very excited.

"Father, all the Elder Uncles, these are the gifts I brought for you."

Lin Feng carried the large and small bags, distributing them one by one to everyone.

"You silly boy, it's enough that you're safe, yet you still thought of us."

Lin Hanyi and the Elders smiled from ear to ear. Although the gifts were not particularly valuable, they were incredibly happy to receive them.

"Oh, by the way, who are these two?"

Lin Hanyi then noticed Zhong Qing and the man in black behind Lin Feng.

"Oh, Father, all Elders, let me introduce you. This is my Revered Master, Zhong Qing, and I don't know the name of the other uncle yet."

"What, Feng'er has taken a Revered Master?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanyi and the others were beyond excited; someone had finally taken Lin Feng as a disciple regardless of his talent.

"We pay our respects to Young Master's Master and this gentleman next to him."

Lin Hanyi and the others bowed in unison.

"No need to be so polite, everyone."

Zhong Qing said with a gentle smile, "The one behind me is my attendant. You can just call him Hei Bai."

As he spoke, Zhong Qing also transmitted a message to the black-clothed Puppet behind him, "From now on, you shall be called Hei Bai."

"Yes."

The black-clothed Puppet lowered his head.

"So it's Mr. Hei Bai. Everyone, don't just stand there. Please come inside, please come inside."

At this moment, the various Family Heads stepped back to both sides, looking at Zhong Qing and Hei Bai with awe, whispering among themselves.

"That man in black is the one who revealed the Moon Profound Realm aura in the tavern."

"And looking at his posture and what he just said, he is indeed that white-clothed man's attendant, and that white-clothed man is Lin Feng's Revered Master."

"Yes, it seems all the rumors are true. This Lin Family has struck it rich."

"It's a good thing we were relatively smart and expressed our stance quickly."

And at this moment, Lin Hanyi also remembered that there was still a large group of Family Heads standing outside.

So, after first inviting Zhong Qing to the most prominent seat, Lin Hanyi then said, "Lord Zhong, please wait for a moment. There are still some trivial matters here that need to be dealt with for a bit. I'll be right back."

"All Elders, please entertain Lord Zhong for now."

After speaking, Lin Hanyi then walked back towards those Family Heads.

But upon hearing Lin Hanyi's words, the Family Heads quickly waved their hands and shouted, "Family Head Lin, no need, no need, don't mind us. Just entertain the Immortal. We can just squat here."

"Yes, yes, we can just squat here. Don't mind us."
