86: Treasures are given to you! Ice Dragon King!

“When Grand Elder Xuan Qing approached our Bing’er back then, he said this was her immortal destiny. I didn't expect it to be proven true so quickly.”

“Head of Discipline Pavilion offers his deepest gratitude to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor for helping my daughter.”

After bowing in greeting, Head of Discipline Pavilion bowed deeply once more.

Although he still didn't know the specific reason, his daughter had already said that Su Yang helped her, so this gratitude had to be conveyed immediately.

“Merit Pavilion Master, you are too polite. It was merely a small effort.”

Su Yang helped him up.

Lin Bingqing’s father had long hair and exuded a very steady aura.

Meeting him for the first time, Su Yang had a good impression of him.

“Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, please come in.”

Lin Bingqing’s mother enthusiastically led the way.

“Yes, yes, please come in, please come in. Look at me, I was so happy I just kept talking. Please come in.”

Head of Discipline Pavilion led the way.

Wen Yunyao pouted and muttered, “I’m also the Sect Master’s daughter, yet it’s as if they didn’t see me, hmph.”

But she didn't dare to speak too loudly, clearly a little afraid of Lin Bingqing’s father.

Su Yang naturally heard it, smiled, and led her into the house.

Head of Discipline Pavilion led everyone to the reception hall.

Lin Bingqing’s mother personally served tea and fruit snacks.

Head of Discipline Pavilion couldn't help but ask his daughter, Lin Bingqing, “Bing’er, what exactly happened to you? That day, Xiang Tianwen only said you abolished your Cultivation in the Merit Pavilion, causing your Golden Core to shatter. Why would you do such a foolish thing?”

Lin Bingqing naturally couldn't hide it from her Parents.

So she recounted everything that happened in the Merit Pavilion that day in detail.

“Bang~~~”

With a loud crash, the tea table in front of Head of Discipline Pavilion instantly turned to powder.

“That Xiang Shaobo! A wolf in sheep’s clothing, heartless and unjust! How dare he force my daughter like this!”

“If not for Lingxiao Sword Ancestor’s rescue, wouldn’t my daughter have lost her immortal destiny forever!?! Good! I, Head of Discipline Pavilion, will remember this grudge!!!”

Su Yang looked at the wood powder on the ground, a little startled.

This Head of Discipline Pavilion’s temper seemed somewhat different from the steady impression he had before entering.

Wen Yunyao was clearly startled by the blow, sitting there as obedient as a little rabbit.

“What happened after that?”

Lin Bingqing’s mother anxiously asked, “A shattered Golden Core is extremely dangerous, and cases of repairing a Golden Core are very rare. I heard it takes decades of effort to succeed, but you… it’s only been a few days, hasn’t it? How did you manage to repair it so quickly? And even become stronger.”

“This…”

Lin Bingqing blushed, finding it hard to explain.

“She, ah…”

Wen Yunyao was about to blurt it out.

Lin Bingqing quickly stopped her, “It’s like this, Parents, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor learned a special method from the Three Grand Elders, which is why he was able to help your daughter repair her Golden Core in a short time.”

“So that’s it!”

Mentioning the Three Grand Elders, Head of Discipline Pavilion didn't doubt it.

He stood up, came before Su Yang, and bowed deeply again.

“Merit Pavilion Master Lin, what are you doing? Why again… I already said it was a small effort, there’s no need to keep bowing like this.”

Head of Discipline Pavilion said, “To Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, this might be a small effort, but to my daughter, it is absolutely a life-saving grace.”

“Our Lin family owes Lingxiao Sword Ancestor an eternal debt of gratitude. If Lingxiao Sword Ancestor ever has need of me, Lin, I will not refuse!”

Su Yang said, “You exaggerate, you exaggerate.”

He stood up to help him.

He also accepted this gratitude.

The situation in the Sect was complex; having one more friend was naturally better than having one more enemy.

“Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, it’s certainly rare for you to return to the Sect now. Since you’re here today, why don’t I prepare a humble feast, and let my Old Lin accompany you for a few drinks to express our gratitude.”

“No need, no need, I still need to go to the Sect Master’s place.”

Head of Discipline Pavilion grabbed Su Yang’s hand, “You can go to his place later. Since Lingxiao Sword Ancestor is here with me now, I must entertain you thoroughly. This wine must be drunk!”

“Yes, yes, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, please wait a moment, I’ll go prepare it now. Bing’er, come with your mother to prepare.”

“Yes~~~”

Lin Bingqing and her mother left together.

As a woman herself, Lin Bingqing’s mother naturally sensed that her daughter was different this time.

“Bing’er, you… your primal Yin…”

Lin Bingqing’s jade-like face instantly flushed crimson.

Lin’s mother said nothing else, but whispered, “You gave it to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor?”

“Mm…”

Lin Bingqing nodded, her voice as small as a mosquito.

“Was it voluntary or…”

“Of course, your daughter was willing…”

Lin Bingqing seemed afraid her mother would misunderstand Su Yang, and quickly said.

“As long as it was voluntary…”

Lin’s mother didn’t say too much when she heard her daughter was willing, then changed the subject, “Mother observes that Yun Yao girl, her primal Yin is also broken. Did she also… give it to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor?”

“Mm.”

“Then if both of you Cultivate with Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, wouldn’t you both be his Dao Companions?”

“Mm.”

Actually, it wasn't just the two of them, there was also a Fox Spirit.

Lin’s mother thought for a moment and said, “Your relationship has always been poor, but now that you are both Lingxiao Sword Ancestor’s Dao Companions, you must not quarrel with each other. Simply Cultivate with him peacefully. Perhaps… this truly is your immortal destiny.”

“I understand, Mother.”

Lin Bingqing nodded.

But in her heart, she didn't believe she and Wen Yunyao could get along peacefully.

“I’ll go prepare some tea and wine, you help Mother prepare some fruit snacks.”

“Mm, alright~~~”

Lin Bingqing followed her mother to prepare.

By the time they brought them out, Su Yang had already been pulled by Head of Discipline Pavilion into the living room and was chatting.

What were they chatting about?

About how good his relationship with Xiang Tianwen used to be.

He cursed Xiang Tianwen for allowing his son to harm his daughter and for concealing the truth.

He cursed and talked about finding an opportunity for revenge.

Su Yang then realized that Head of Discipline Pavilion’s personality was completely different from his daughter’s; he was a fierce and hot-tempered person who couldn't suppress his emotions.

“Alright, Old Lin, stop dragging Lingxiao Sword Ancestor and cursing. Just keep this matter in your heart.”

Lin’s mother came up with the tea and wine.

Hearing Head of Discipline Pavilion’s incessant cursing, she interrupted him.

“Yes, yes, what am I telling you all this for. Lingxiao Sword Ancestor has already helped my daughter repair her Golden Core, the rest is our Lin family’s own business. Come, come, drink, drink.”

Head of Discipline Pavilion personally poured wine for Su Yang.

“This first cup, to thank Lingxiao Sword Ancestor for helping my daughter! I, Lin, am eternally grateful!”

Head of Discipline Pavilion drained it in one gulp.

“This second cup, my daughter has a cold and aloof personality. In the future, as she Cultivates with Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, if she offends you, I hope Lingxiao Sword Ancestor will be magnanimous and not hold it against her.”

Another gulp.

“This third cup, no other meaning, to the master of the divine sword! To the Grand Elder’s foremost disciple!”

Once Head of Discipline Pavilion started drinking, he even dropped his pretense of composure, laughing heartily as he drank the third cup.

“Merit Pavilion Master Lin is too polite.”

Su Yang naturally also drank it all.

“Come, come, drink, drink. I’m happy today, let’s drink more.”

Head of Discipline Pavilion immediately refilled Su Yang’s cup.

Su Yang: …Lin Bingqing’s father… his personality is so bold and enthusiastic, why did he insist on pretending to be so steady!?

“Merit Pavilion Master Lin, please.”

Su Yang clinked glasses with him.

Originally,

Su Yang thought he would just have a few drinks and leave.

But Head of Discipline Pavilion’s enthusiasm was overwhelming; he couldn't leave, being pulled by him to drink until noon before he finally relented.

Before leaving.

Head of Discipline Pavilion pulled Su Yang into his study.

Then he took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from a secret compartment drawer and placed it in Su Yang’s hand.

The back of this bronze mirror was golden, while the front was made from a polished, complete blue Ice Mother Spirit Stone.

Su Yang could feel a strong chill emanating from the bronze mirror.

“Merit Pavilion Master Lin, this is…?”

Although Head of Discipline Pavilion had alcohol on his breath, his words were very clear, “Lingxiao Sword Ancestor saved my daughter’s immortal path. How could I, Head of Discipline Pavilion, just express my gratitude with a few words for such a great kindness!? If it’s gratitude, of course, it must be expressed with concrete actions!”

“This is a precious Magical Artifact I’ve treasured, named the dragon light mirror. Inside the Ice Mother Spirit Stone is a remnant soul of an Ice Dragon King, possessing at least the strength equivalent to a Peak Human Race Nascent Soul Cultivator. If there is danger, you can summon the Ice Dragon King to assist in battle.”

“I, Lin, bestow this Magical Artifact upon Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, to thank you for your life-saving grace to my daughter.”
