Chapter 200 Illusory Cave Heaven
The main focus of today's event is ultimately on the elite young generation of the Lin family who are attending.
Before Luo Sifan and Lin Qianxiu could exchange more than a few words, the elders of the manor under the patriarch stepped forward and guided the five clans participating in the meeting to line up in the center of the square.
The remaining members of the various factions who came to see them off tactfully stood behind Luo Sifan and the others, watching from a distance and still discussing among themselves.
Lin Qianxiu and Luo Sifan's team, with the woman as beautiful as the moon emerging from the clouds and the man as gorgeous as a lone flower in a green sea, stood in the center, attracting many complicated gazes from the older generation of the Lin family.
Thanks to Lin Qianxiu, Luo Sifan, an unknown figure in the Silverfrost Empire, gradually gained some fame through whispers and inquiries from the crowd.
The reappearance of a member of the Hehuan Sect, who had disappeared for nearly a thousand years, is enough to make those with a keen eye and their eyes blaze with excitement.
As for Ma Jialin Xiaozhi's origins in Yongning Prefecture, Yuanzhou, not many people know about them.
Lin Qianfeng and his companion were positioned to their left, extremely arrogant, turning their heads to stare at the two from the very beginning.
Unlike Lin Qianxiu, who held a military post, Lin Qianfeng's hundred-plus retainers were mostly supported by his own family. They were all wiped out in one battle by Lin Qianxiu and Luo Sifan, leaving him with nothing but loss of face and wealth.
Now, when Lin Qianfeng sees Lin Qianxiu and the other person, he doesn't even bother with pretense anymore; he just wants to annoy Lin Qianxiu a few more times.
"Lin Qianxiu, you're up early and quite punctual. This male concubine of yours is alright at fighting, but his skills in serving women are probably not that great, are they?"
Lin Qianfeng forced a wicked smile and loudly mocked Lin Qianxiu and Luo Sifan.
Luo Sifan chuckled slightly, completely unconcerned; he had complete confidence in his own resources. Lin Qianfeng's sarcastic remark had negative impact.
Lin Qianxiu stared straight ahead, her face showing disgust at Lin Qianfeng's loud voice. Seeing that the surrounding voices were gradually quieting down and everyone was turning their attention to them, Lin Qianxiu glanced sideways at the self-satisfied Lin Qianfeng and snapped:
"Lin Qianfeng! Whether he's capable or not, your sister Lin Qianfang knows best. He can't even get out of bed right now!"
Lin Qianxiu spoke in a flat tone, but her words were crystal clear to everyone, clearly intentional.
The room fell even quieter, with nine out of ten people staring at Luo Sifan with strange looks.
Lin Qianfang is renowned for her beauty and is a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator. Logically speaking, she should be able to defeat ten Luo Sifans without any problem. Lin Qianxiu's words are truly astonishing.
"Bullshit! Lin Qianxiu! You're spouting nonsense! I, Lin Qianfeng, will definitely demand an explanation from the patriarch!"
Lin Qianfeng was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed red and he roared in anger.
Lin Qianfeng was arrogant, but Lin Qianfang listened to his tearful complaints and, out of deep sibling affection, promised to stand up for him and teach Lin Qianxiu and Luo Sifan a lesson.
He would never believe the claim that Lin Qianfang had become Luo Sifan's plaything, and he would not allow Lin Qianxiu to spread such rumors in front of the Lin family.
Apart from the individuals whose faces turned ashen, most of the Lin family members were happy to watch, whispering among themselves and expressing their own opinions.
Lin Qianxiu, unperturbed, leisurely turned to Luo Sifan:
"Brother Xiaozhi, where is the token that Lin Qianfang gave you when she begged for mercy and surrendered last night? Show it to everyone!"
Lin Qianxiu's eyes were dangerous. Helpless, Luo Sifan reluctantly took out the string of gems from Lin Qianfang's belt and shook it in his hand.
Everyone in the room had exceptional eyesight and could tell at a glance.
"How did Lin Qianfang's Qiankun Treasure Belt end up in that kid's hands!"
The speaker, I don't know if he was an admirer of Lin Qianfang, was impatient and his tone was quite rude.
Even the core of the spiritual artifact on her belt fell into the hands of Luo Sifan, that playboy. The unbearable suffering Lin Qianxiu endured last night was vividly imagined by everyone, the richness of which varied from person to person.
"Lin Xiaozhi! You bastard! What dirty tricks did you use to harm my sister!"
When Lin Qianfeng saw Luo Sifan casually holding the object in his palm, his pupils dilated and he shouted in shock.
With both old and new grudges piled up, Lin Qianfeng's blood boiled, and he drew out his own spear with a flick of his wrist, ready to snatch it without saying a word.
The Lin family is the ancient royal family of Yinshuang, and their rules have always been strict. How could they allow Lin Qianfeng to act recklessly on such an important occasion as the grand event is about to take place?
Lin Qianxiu stood by and watched, waiting for Lin Qianfeng to bring trouble upon himself, the bigger the commotion, the better. Luo Sifan was slippery and his sword cultivation was full of unpredictable tricks, enough to deal with Lin Qianfeng.
Luo Sifan accepted the jade core of the Qiankun Treasure Belt, but he had no choice but to prepare for Lin Qianfeng's full-force attack.
The spears swirled, and a sudden gust of wind rose across the square. Seeing the situation was dire, the five groups of people scattered, leaving only Lin Qianxiu and three others behind.
The elegantly dressed young swordsman, who was Lin Qianfeng's companion, remained calm, neither offering any words of support nor taking any action to stop him. He simply moved a few steps away, adopting a leisurely demeanor as if it were none of my business.
Compared to Lin Qianfeng's intimidating stance, the swordsman in fine clothes was more interested in the surging sword energy within Luo Sifan's body.
"presumptuous!"
A familiar female voice rang out in everyone's ears at the same time. Although the tone was calm, everyone in the Lin family felt a chill run down their spines.
Lin Qianfeng's spear was still poised for attack, but the overwhelming killing intent vanished. Luo Sifan's sword could no longer sense any of Lin Qianfeng's presence, and it immediately relaxed.
As the woman's voice came, a barrier seemed to suddenly descend upon the square, separating Lin Qianfeng, who was still furious.
Unbeknownst to them, the illusory grotto-heaven technique of the combined power had already moved the restless Lin Qianfeng into a small world with its own set of rules.
"What a child! He's made a fool of himself!"
The palace doors swung open, and the Lin family patriarch, clad in a flowing white robe, drifted in. Before he could finish speaking, he was already standing in front of Luo Sifan.
Luo Sifan smiled obsequiously, bowed deeply, and respectfully greeted the emperor.
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
The remaining members of the Lin family only then realized what was happening and greeted the white-robed figure in the center of the room in a cacophony of voices.
The technique of creating a phantom cave separates the sensory perception of lower-level cultivators. The appearance of the Lin family patriarch was intended to intimidate and dispel the contempt that the Lin family's collateral branches and retainers had felt due to Lin Qianfeng's antics.
The crowd bowed in submission. The Lin family patriarch said nothing more, and with a casual wave of his hand, he moved the unaware Lin Qianfeng out of the arena, leaving behind a calm and peaceful empty space.
"This is a sacred ancestral mountain, and he dared to act without authorization. This child is too impulsive. His participation in the Gathering of Talents is of no benefit and only brings shame to the Lin family. Punish him with three years of confinement!"
The Lin family patriarch, with her beautiful eyes sparkling, spoke of punishing Lin Qianfeng, but her deep gaze made Luo Sifan's skin crawl and cold sweat pour down his body.
Regardless of whether the story of seducing Lin Qianfang is true or not, Lin Qianxiu has spread it widely, and the rumors are hard to stop. The head of the Lin family is probably quite displeased by this.
Using the power of the illusory grotto to lightly punish and warn Luo Sifan was already a show of leniency from the Lin family head.
