The pride of the Lin family

At this moment, the family heads were as humble as could be, each wearing a welcoming, enthusiastic smile.

“Ah, this…”

Lin Hanyi looked at their postures, a look of disbelief on his face; they were being far too humble.

“Father, you don’t need to worry about them,” Lin Feng said from the side.

The perceptive Lin Hanyi seemed to sense something and asked in a low voice, “Feng’er, they suddenly came to apologize, flattering us in every way, and now they’re acting like this. Do you know what’s going on with them?”

“If my guess is correct, it should be due to Hei Bai Uncle leaking his aura just now,” Lin Feng said with a smile.

He then recounted everything that had happened at the small tavern to Lin Hanyi.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanyi and the rest of the Lin Family immediately stood up from their seats in surprise.

Their voices became stammering.

“Yue… Moon Profound Realm… This Mr. Hei Bai is in the Moon Profound Realm!!!!”

In an instant, all the Lin Family members turned their gazes towards Hei Bai.

They had never expected that this seemingly ordinary attendant, who followed behind Zhong Qing without saying a word, was actually in the Moon Profound Realm.

And if an attendant was in the Moon Profound Realm, what level of cultivation must Lin Feng’s master possess?!

The Lin Family members could hardly believe it, feeling as if they were enveloped by an immense surprise.

Their Lin Family’s untalented young man had actually taken such a powerful master. Before, they wouldn’t even dare to dream such a beautiful dream.

At the same time, Lin Hanyi and the others finally understood why the Fang Family and others had suddenly done a complete 180-degree turn.

With Lin Feng becoming a disciple of such an esteemed senior, their Lin Family would naturally benefit, and they naturally wouldn’t dare to offend them again.

“Senior Zhong, we have been neglectful, truly neglectful,” Lin Hanyi hurriedly led everyone to bow to Zhong Qing again, his face filled with panic.

He felt as if their Lin Family was greatly honored by the arrival of such a senior, yet he was also afraid of being neglectful.

“Father, you don’t need to be so reserved just because you know my master’s strength. My master is very easygoing,” Lin Feng quickly said with a smile from the side.

“Indeed, please make yourselves at home,” Zhong Qing said softly with a smile from the head seat, while sipping the tea brought by the servants.

“Not at all, not at all. For Senior to favor my son is a blessing my son accumulated in his past life,” Lin Hanyi said with excitement, his eyes turning red as he spoke.

His son had endured too many hardships in his life.

Now, he was finally turning the corner for the better.

Soon, the Lin Family held a grand banquet for Zhong Qing, and everyone of note in the Lin Family was called back.

At the banquet, Zhong Qing was naturally seated at the head table.

All those who were qualified, led by Lin Hanyi, respectfully toasted Zhong Qing one by one.

It had been decades.

Lin Hanyi had not been this excited.

Before long, he was a little tipsy from drinking and couldn’t help but walk over to Lin Feng’s side, asking his son in a low voice, “Son, after you became a disciple, Senior Zhong must have resolved your talent issue, right?”

“Of course,” Lin Feng said with a smile.

Hearing the confirmation, Lin Hanyi’s pupils constricted, and he hugged Lin Feng, exclaiming, “You mean you can cultivate now?!”

Lin Hanyi’s exclamation also attracted the attention of the other Lin Family members, who all looked over with expectant gazes.

“With my master’s guidance, it’s more than just being able to cultivate,” Lin Feng smiled with a hint of pride, and with a thought, his Chen Xuan Realm cultivation was immediately revealed.

“What?!”

“Chen Xuan Realm?!!!”

This scene instantly shocked the entire hall, everyone widening their eyes and looking at Lin Feng in disbelief.

“Heaven bless our Lin Family!”

Soon, Lin Feng was surrounded by the Lin Family members, each face beaming with an aunt-like smile, and various praises poured towards Lin Feng without reservation, making them even prouder of him.

After all, Lin Feng was only sixteen years old.

A sixteen-year-old in the Chen Xuan Realm would be considered a favored son of heaven anywhere.

“To hell with the Murong Family! So what if they have a daughter? Your daughter is amazing, but my son is even more amazing!” Lin Hanyi cursed loudly, then burst into hearty laughter on the spot.

“Actually, it’s all thanks to my master’s guidance,” Lin Feng said, scratching his head in the crowd, smiling sheepishly, but he was still very excited to be someone who could make the Lin Family proud.

At the head table, Zhong Qing drank alone.

Looking at Lin Feng, who was surrounded by the Lin Family members and had a proud smile on his face, he also smiled.

At this moment, he was also proud of Lin Feng.

For the next few days, Zhong Qing resided in the Lin Family.

Zhong Qing was not in a hurry to leave, nor was he in a hurry for Lin Feng.

The child had been away for many days, and it was only right for him to spend more time with his family after finally returning home.

During this time, many people in Fengtian City wanted to visit Zhong Qing, but they were all stopped at the door by Lin Hanyi.

And on this day, the City Lord of Fengtian City also came to visit.

“Greetings, City Lord.”

Lin Hanyi was quite polite to the City Lord.

“Lin Family Head, I trust you’ve been well,” City Lord Bai Chen said with a slight smile, “Your Lin Family is truly flourishing now.”

“City Lord, please don’t tease me,” Lin Hanyi said with a smile, “May I ask why the City Lord has come today?”

At this point, Bai Chen’s expression noticeably became solemn.

He paused, then said, “Lin Family Head, I did indeed come today with a request.”

“Please speak,” Lin Hanyi also said seriously.

“Half a year ago, an extremely vicious demon beast appeared outside Fengtian City. Since its appearance, it has killed countless people. My City Lord’s Mansion, along with various experts, has tried to encircle and suppress it many times without success, suffering heavy casualties instead. Just yesterday, another hundred people died at the mouth of the demon beast, so I came today…”

At this point, Bai Chen stood up, cupped his fists, and bowed, saying, “I know that Senior Zhong, who is residing in the Lin Family, is very busy and should not be disturbed, but there is truly no other way now. So, I hope the Lin Family Head can help me speak to him and see if he can be persuaded to eliminate this demon.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanyi also rarely frowned.

If it were anyone else, he would have directly refused.

But today’s matter was clearly different, and he also knew about the demon beast outside the city. Putting aside other things, some of his Lin Family members had died at its mouth.

“I dare not make decisions for Senior Zhong on this matter. At most, I can only help you ask, and I cannot say whether he will agree or not,” Lin Hanyi said after much deliberation.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chen’s face lit up with joy.

“Thank you, Lin Family Head. If that senior is unwilling, I will certainly not bother him again and will find another way!” Bai Chen said.

“That would be excellent.”

Lin Hanyi then stood up and walked towards the backyard where Zhong Qing resided.

“Greetings, Senior Zhong,” Lin Hanyi respectfully bowed even before entering the courtyard.

“Lin Family Head, there’s no need to be so polite,” Zhong Qing was walking his bird and smiled slightly when he saw Lin Hanyi, “May I ask why the Lin Family Head is suddenly looking for me?”

“Indeed, there is something I wish to ask Senior Zhong for help with.”

Coming before Zhong Qing, Lin Hanyi directly and thoroughly explained the matter entrusted by Bai Chen.

“Oh, a demon beast, huh.”

Zhong Qing was considering whether to agree.

Just then, the system suddenly spoke again.

[Random Mission Issued: Host, please eliminate the demon beast outside Fengtian City. There will be a mysterious reward.]
