27: Lin Zhentian's surprise, new actions of the Lei family!

“May I ask which Great Master is it? Why are you inexplicably spying on my Lin Family?”

At the same time, Lin Fan also noticed Lin Zhentian’s stern shout through his Mental Energy.

Seeing this, Lin Fan quickly withdrew his Mental Energy.

This brief shockwave, however, caused Lin Fan’s face to turn somewhat pale.

After all, in terms of Mental Energy, Lin Fan had just stepped through the threshold and was still too weak.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Fan, following the records of the Shen Dong Chapter, first recovered some Mental Energy, and then continued to Cultivate.

On the other side, Lin Zhentian’s expression was solemn, filled with doubt, not understanding why a Talisman Master would spy on the Lin Family.

Just as Lin Zhentian’s expression was grave, he sensed another different Mental Energy fluctuation.

Lin Zhentian’s face sank, and he sternly shouted, “Which Great Master? Please show yourself!”

While shouting, Lin Zhentian once again unleashed a powerful Yuan Power fluctuation, slamming it fiercely towards the empty space in front of him.

This time, it was naturally the effect of Lin Dong’s Mental Energy Cultivation entry.

Lin Dong was currently only focused on the joy of his Mental Energy Cultivation entry, naturally unaware that Lin Zhentian had been spied on by Mental Energy fluctuations twice in a row, making him extremely solemn.

Lin Fan, who was Cultivating Mental Energy, also sensed Lin Dong’s Mental Energy fluctuation.

After a slight deliberation, Lin Fan proactively went to Lin Zhentian’s room.

Lin Zhentian had been disturbed by Mental Energy fluctuations twice in a row, and Lin Fan felt that if he didn't explain the situation, the other party wouldn't be able to sleep well for a long time.

“What? You mean, the Mental Energy fluctuations that appeared just now were due to you Cultivating Mental Energy?”

After Lin Zhentian heard Lin Fan’s explanation, he was immediately filled with surprise and joy.

Lin Fan added, “It’s not just me. The first wave was caused by my Mental Energy Cultivation, and the second wave was Lin Dong’s.”

“Hahahaha, good! This is too good!”

Lin Zhentian laughed heartily upon hearing this.

His two most proud grandsons were not only Geniuses in Yuan Power Cultivation but also possessed the talent for Cultivating Mental Energy. How could he not be surprised and delighted?

“Oh right, where did you get the Mental Energy Cultivation Secret Manual?”

Suddenly, Lin Zhentian thought of something and asked Lin Fan.

Lin Fan said, “Today in Yan City, when you and Eldest Uncle went to sell yang yuan stones, I took Qing Tan and Lin Dong to stroll around the city, and later we arrived at the Qiwu Pavilion...”

Lin Fan didn’t hide anything and immediately recounted what happened in the Qiwu Pavilion to Lin Zhentian.

Lin Zhentian was overjoyed upon hearing this, “Dong’er was actually favored by Master Yan?”

Lin Zhentian had been to Yan City many times and naturally knew the strength and status of Master Yan in Yan City.

After a pause, Lin Zhentian felt a bit regretful, “It’s a pity, Dong’er didn’t agree to follow Master Yan to learn the Dao of Talismans.”

Lin Fan advised, “Grandpa, Lin Dong has his own Opportunity, and he is more decisive than many adults. I think it’s better not to interfere with his Dao, so that he can go further.”

Lin Zhentian looked deeply at Lin Fan upon hearing this, then smiled, “What you said isn’t just about Lin Dong, but also about yourself, right?”

“Grandpa has a Wisdom Eye,” Lin Fan smiled, not bothering to argue, “But don’t worry, Grandpa, Lin Dong and I will definitely work hard to help you achieve your wish of returning to the main family.”

Lin Zhentian’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Lin Fan’s words, and he fell silent, thinking about the matter of the main family.

After a long while, Lin Zhentian patted Lin Fan’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, Grandpa isn’t the kind of person who likes to dictate. I know that both you and Dong’er have your own Opportunities, and I won’t interfere.”

“As for returning to the main family, you don’t have to push yourselves too hard, just do your best. I don’t want you to experience what happened to your Third Uncle back then.”

In fact, Lin Zhentian still harbored a deep obsession with returning to the main family.

It’s just that he didn’t want to put too much pressure on Lin Fan and Lin Dong.

Lin Fan nodded and said, “Thank you, Grandpa. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back. Grandpa should also rest early.”

“You go,” Lin Zhentian nodded and said casually.

Lin Fan didn’t say anything more and returned to his room to rest.

In the following days, Lin Fan remained in Tiemu Village, diligently Cultivating.

He made progress in both Yuan Power and Mental Energy, and the Cultivation of Martial Art was also not neglected.

Lin Dong Cultivated even harder than Lin Fan.

Only Qing Tan, in her spare time from Cultivation, enjoyed riding Huo’er around to play.

Huo’er’s growth rate was very fast, gradually catching up with Xiao Yan, and even surpassing him, so Qing Tan no longer monopolized Lin Dong’s Xiao Yan. The defenses of Tiemu Village became increasingly strict, and the mining of the Yang Yuan Stone Mine was in full swing.

Everything was developing in a good direction.

And while the Lin Family was flourishing, the Lei Family was not idle either.

They not only found out about the Lin Family possibly unearthing yang yuan stones in Tiemu Village, but also secretly colluded with the bandits of the Black Dragon Stronghold near Qingyang Town... Time flowed like water, passing quickly.

In a blink of an eye, three months had passed since the last trip to Yan City.

After three months of mining, another batch of yang yuan stones had accumulated in Tiemu Village.

Lin Zhentian personally organized a larger convoy than the last time.

Inside a large hall in Tiemu Village.

Lin Zhentian sat at the head, his expression solemn, saying, “This transport will definitely not be as easy as last time.”

“According to the information I’ve received, this batch of yang yuan stones from my Lin Family has probably attracted some hungry wolves...”

“Is the Lei Family going to make a move?” Hearing Lin Zhentian’s words, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Zhentian shook his head slightly, “Lei Bao is cunning and won’t easily make a move; it should be those guys from the Black Dragon Stronghold that they’ve instigated.”

“Black Dragon Stronghold?”

Hearing this name, Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and others all frowned.

The Black Dragon Stronghold was a relatively well-known bandit force within a hundred-mile radius of Qingyang Town, with two Heavenly Yuan Realm leaders, whose strength could not be underestimated.

Lin Zhentian pondered for a moment and continued, “This time, the convoy will still be personally led by me, with Lin Ken and Lin Mang accompanying, and Lin Xiao will guard Tiemu Village.”

“Fan’er and Dong’er, do not follow along this time; also stay in Tiemu Village.”

Lin Fan’s eyes flickered upon hearing this, thinking of the Black Dragon Stronghold’s attack on Tiemu Village in the original work.

However, the person guarding Tiemu Village now had changed from the Heavenly Yuan Realm Lin Ken to the Lesser Yuandan Realm Lin Xiao.

In addition, Lin Dong had already broken through to the Early Stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, and he had also broken through to the Late Stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, dealing with the people of the Black Dragon Stronghold would be incredibly easy.

Therefore, he did not mention this matter.

After Lin Zhentian finalized the arrangements, the others did not raise any objections.

Not long after, the convoy was assembled, and Lin Zhentian and his two sons, accompanied by a group of guards, transported a batch of yang yuan stones towards Yan City.

“Everyone, keep your eyes peeled! Do not let any suspicious person infiltrate the village! Once any disturbance is detected, send a signal immediately!”

After Lin Zhentian and the others left, Lin Xiao issued strict orders to the remaining guards in Tiemu Village.

The atmosphere throughout Tiemu Village became tense.

Many of the Lin Family’s younger generation were also gathered in Tiemu Village, and feeling this atmosphere, they couldn’t help but feel some worry.

“Lin Fan, do you think Grandpa and the others will be alright this time?”

Lin Xia, as a junior closely related to Lin Fan, couldn’t help but find Lin Fan and ask.

Lin Fan smiled, “The Black Dragon Stronghold only has two Heavenly Yuan Realm cultivators, and Grandpa and the others have three Heavenly Yuan Realm experts. What is there to worry about?”

Currently, Lin Fan was undoubtedly the number one among the Lin Family’s younger generation, and everyone had great faith in him.

Upon hearing Lin Fan’s words, Lin Xia and the few Lin Family juniors behind her felt much more at ease.

Afterwards, Lin Xia chatted with Lin Fan about some interesting anecdotes from Qingyang Town.

Rumble!

Suddenly, outside Tiemu Village, hoofbeats like thunder roared!

“Trouble is here,” Lin Fan murmured, then quickly moved towards the Tiemu Village courtyard wall.

“What is that?”

Behind Lin Fan, Lin Dong, Qing Tan, Lin Xia, and the others all followed.

When they looked at the yellow dust kicked up by the horse hooves outside the village, their expressions all changed greatly.
