544: Chapter 544: Invite the Young Master to My Home
Chapter 544: Please, Young lord Lin, Be Our Guest
“Oh! Why haven’t you left yet?”
Outside the altar, at the edge of the shattered void, Lin Yu had just emerged from the chaotic mist when he saw Ye Qingxuan and her grandfather, who had not yet left.
His previous battle with Luo Tian was on a very large scale, and these two, being old and frail, could easily have been affected by the aftermath of the battle if they weren't careful.
He hadn't expected them to be so reckless as to watch the show.
It was only because he held no ill will towards them; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to leave now.
“Ah… Lin… Young lord Lin, I… I was deliberately waiting for you here!”
Seeing Lin Yu’s sharp gaze, coupled with his majestic and heroic presence fresh from the battlefield, Ye Qingxuan felt her mind buzz, and she could barely speak.
Especially when she recalled the thoughts that had crossed her mind earlier, a blush instantly spread across her face.
Her eyes were filled with admiration.
Such a man is rare in this world; who could not love him!
She considered herself a genius of the Heavenly Pride and demonic prodigy type, but in front of Lin Yu, she seemed so ordinary.
At this moment, she very much resembled a fangirl.
“Oh! Deliberately waiting for me? What is it?”
Lin Yu was puzzled and then turned his gaze to the Ye Family Second Elder beside Ye Qingxuan.
This young lady seemed to have lost her mind; she could still be infatuated in such an environment.
Unbelievable…
Although he was indeed very handsome.
Therefore, he didn't expect this young lady to say anything useful.
“Heh heh, Lin Xiaoyou, it’s like this: I see you don’t have any other place to stay right now, so this old man specifically invites you to the Danxia Star Region to plan great things together, how about it?”
The Ye Family Second Elder immediately spoke up, cupping his hands as he spoke.
Lin Yu’s strength was no weaker than his at his peak, making him worthy of being treated as an equal.
Most importantly, Lin Yu was young, extremely young!
He was younger than any Heavenly Pride he had ever seen, heard of, or even read about in ancient texts.
His talent was terrifying, absolutely rare in the world.
If they could tie him to their grandchildren, they would definitely be able to pull Ye Mu down.
“Mm, yes, Young lord Lin, that’s what I mean too. You can have anything you want; I can agree to anything!”
Ye Qingxuan also looked at Lin Yu with affectionate eyes.
At this moment, she no longer carried the demeanor of the Ye Family’s eldest young miss; she was completely a young woman seeing the person she admired.
She looked as if she’d help count the money even if she were sold.
Her intelligence, or whatever it was, had probably gone into the negatives.
The Ye Family Second Elder felt a wave of embarrassment watching his granddaughter’s infatuated expression.
However, he didn’t stop her.
If Lin Yu could truly become a Dao companion with his granddaughter, he would be even more at ease.
And he wouldn’t have to treat Lin Yu so cautiously.
Go to the Danxia Star Region to plan great things together?
The Ye Family Second Elder wanted to rope him in!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu’s mind began to race frantically.
He didn’t directly refuse.
Because, upon careful consideration, it seemed like going to the Ye Family now was a good choice.
Things here in the Jinyan Star Region had already settled.
The only Holy Land that affected Lin Fei’s development, he had already killed its Holy Lord here, so he didn’t need to go back.
Most critically, by going to the Ye Family, he could study Ye Mu, the Fated One, from a closer distance.
There was still a scenario quest on him that hadn't been completed yet.
Moreover, after going there, he would have a legitimate identity, unlike his time with Xie Yue, where he had to sneak around and stay hidden.
Of course, it wasn't time to leave yet; there was one most important thing he hadn't done since entering the Immortal Burial Ground.
That was—finding Chu Xi!
However, speaking of which, he hadn't been in the Immortal Burial Ground for a short time. Especially when he was following Luo Tian earlier, he ran around a lot, covering many places, but he still hadn't found any trace of Chu Xi.
He even suspected that the woman who released Jiang Ling might have lied to him.
But whether she lied or not, he had to treat it as true. At the very least, before the Immortal Burial Ground closed, he needed to search this place again.
Thinking of this, he first nodded, then slightly shook his head and said:
“Going to the Ye Family as a guest is certainly possible, but you two should return first. I still have some things to do in the Immortal Burial Ground and might stay for quite a long time!”
He didn’t plan to reveal his connection with Chu Xi, lest it bring trouble to the Chu Family.
He now knew that Chu Xi was the Chu Family’s eldest young miss.
Moreover, the Chu Family was not doing well at present; they were suppressed by the Luo Family and had been forced to retreat to a corner. Nearly two-thirds of the star regions controlled by the Chu Family had already been swallowed by the Luo Family.
Before he had the ability to deal with the Luo Family, it was better not to expose this matter.
Otherwise, given his current enmity with the Luo Family, their anger would likely be directed at the Chu Family.
“Alright, then we will wait for Lin Xiaoyou to visit us at the Ye Family!”
The Ye Family Second Elder didn’t ask for details and responded with a smile.
He wasn't a brainless person; since Lin Yu was unwilling to say, there must be a reason, and he naturally couldn't ask.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingxuan’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
She had hoped to accompany Lin Yu all the way back to the Ye Family.
But no matter how unwilling, she was still pulled away by the Ye Family Second Elder.
There was no longer any need for them to stay here.
Although their losses were heavy this time, gaining a promise from Lin Yu was more valuable than anything else.
Soon, their figures disappeared from Lin Yu’s sight.
“There’s still plenty of time; it should be enough to thoroughly search the Immortal Burial Ground!”
After the two left, Lin Yu looked into the distance and murmured softly.
The Immortal Burial Ground opens once every thousand years, and when it opens, it stays open for ten years.
He had been inside for less than half a year, even with a generous estimate.
There was still a lot of time!
Of course, the Immortal Burial Ground was not small either; there were no less than five hundred Immortal King ruins already explored, not to mention the others.
If he wanted to find someone here, he indeed needed to plan on staying for a long time.
......
The years in the Immortal Burial Ground quietly flowed by amidst endless searching. Spring turned to autumn, and winter to summer; eight years passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yu’s figure had traversed every corner of this ancient land.
From the majestic ruins of Immortal King palaces to the deep, desolate Rift Valley, from floating star fragments to silent ancient battlefield relics, his footprints were left in every place where someone might be hidden.
Xiao Ling transformed into a stream of light, shuttling between the runic restrictions of the ruins, her clear childlike voice often echoing in the empty ancient halls: “Master, no aura here~”
And Little Kun perched on his shoulder, occasionally spewing a stream of chaotic energy, easily shattering the stone gates sealed for eons, revealing mountains of treasures inside.
Those Immortal King relics that had made countless cultivators flock to them were rendered useless under the combined efforts of the three of them.
