Chapter 1248
Outside the Unique Devil Region . Lin Dong’s four man group appeared in a flash . As old man Fen Tian looked at the outside world, which he had not seen for tens of thousands of years, he involuntarily sighed .
“Let’s head straight to the Great Yan Empire . ” After resolving the matter regarding old man Fen Tian, Lin Dong was clearly in a good mood . Therefore, he immediately laughed before he said .
Qingtan and old man Fen Tian did not object upon hearing his words . However, Ling Qingzhu bit her red lips . Then, she stared at Lin Dong before she slowly shook her head .
“I’ll be heading back to Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace . The Great Yan Empire is in a completely different direction and we should part ways here . ”
“You aren’t coming with us to the Great Yan Empire? Why?” Lin Dong was a little stunned as he stared at Ling Qingzhu .
Ling Qingzhu’s bright eyes paused on Lin Dong’s face . Then, she smiled faintly before she said, “Are you planning to bring me back to your home? Do you know what this means?”
Lin Dong was speechless . If he brought Ling Qingzhu back to the Great Yan Empire, wouldn’t it feel like he was bringing back his wife to meet her parents-in-law?
“I think that my whole family will welcome you if you are willing to come . ” Lin Dong pondered for a moment before he replied .
“You should only say these words after you’ve sorted out the emotions within your heart . Otherwise, you might ultimately feel a little imbalanced in your heart . ” Ling Qingzhu smiled faintly before she said .
Lin Dong was stunned . Then, his expression changed involuntarily . He naturally understood what Ling Qingzhu was saying . She was extremely proud and even though Lin Dong wanted to bring her back to the Great Yan Empire, she wanted Lin Dong to do so willingly without any hesitation .
Ling Qingzhu looked at Lin Dong’s expression before she secretly sighed . Then, a somewhat bitter smile was formed on the corner of her red lips, which were hidden under her veil . After which, she ceased hesitating as she turned around and drifted off .
“You have already learnt the Zenith Sensing Art . Therefore, there is no reason for me to stay anymore . My Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace is still under reconstruction . As the palace master, I should not be away for long . Therefore, I’ll return to the palace first to study Reincarnation . Let’s part ways here . ”
Lin Dong stared at Ling Qingzhu’s beautiful figure as she turned around . Meanwhile, he felt a little terrible in his heart . Suddenly, he clenched his teeth before he extended his arm and grabbed her delicate jade like wrist .
“You travelled all the way to the Northern Xuan Region together with me and even taught me the Zenith Sensing Art . If I simply allow you to leave like this, others will say that I, Lin Dong, am an ungrateful person . ” Lin Dong frowned and said . “Regardless, you will have to go to the Great Yan Empire together with me . After that, I will personally send you back to Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace . Otherwise, I will not let you go . ”
Ling Qingzhu’s wrist was being grabbed by Lin Dong . Moreover, when she heard his words, she felt secretly embarrassed . Why is this man so overbearing?
She had always been an extremely independent and opinionated person . However, when she saw Lin Dong’s frowning face, she could only gently clench her teeth, but she was unable to pull herself away from him .
Standing beside them, when Qingtan saw their actions, she immediately curled her lips .
“Let’s go . ”
Lin Dong did not wait for Ling Qingzhu to voice her objections, as he directly pulled her and headed in the direction of the Great Yan Empire . The latter struggled briefly, but Lin Dong’s metal pincer like hands remained firm . Finally, she could only give up . Then, she gently gritted her teeth before she stared at the man in front of her . This person… he was truly unreasonable .
……
The capital of the Great Yan Empire .
Currently, the capital city was clearly a lot more prosperous compared to the flourishing city in the past . Moreover, the Great Yan Empire was no longer a tiny low rank empire . Forget about those super empires, because of the Lin Clan, even those super sects did not dare to act disrespectfully towards this former low rank empire .
The reason for this was common knowledge within the Eastern Xuan Region .
There was an extremely spacious manor in the northern region of this city . This was the most respected place within the entire Great Yan Empire . In fact, even the palace of the capital, which was at a short distance away, could not compete with it .
This manor was where the Lin Clan was located .
Currently, it was possible to vaguely see some statue like figures quietly seated on various vantage points around the manor . They were experts from the Tiger Devouring Army . Although Little Flame and the rest had returned to the Demon Region, they left a thousand Tiger Devouring Army troops behind to protect the Lin Clan . Therefore, with this force around, it was obvious that no one would dare to plot against the Lin Clan .
Currently, the Lin Clan enjoyed a high status within the Great Yan Empire . However, after Lin Xiao became the new tribe leader, he used some ruthless methods to clean up the clan . In fact, clansmen who abused the Lin Clan’s name and tarnished its reputation were the ones who were subjected to the harshest punishments . However, no one in the Lin Clan dared to object to Lin Xiao’s harsh methods . In fact, even those extremely experienced elders had no choice but to submit to him . This was because everyone clearly knew how the Lin Clan managed to obtain its current status . . .
Lin Xiao’s efforts to clean up the clan were also quite effective . As such, the Lin Clan was no longer as arrogant as before . In fact, it was rare to hear of Lin Clan members who would take advantage of their clan’s reputation to misbehave . Therefore, this allowed the reputation of the Lin Clan within the Great Yan Empire to rise stealthily .
Suddenly, a few rays of light flashed across the horizon of the capital, before they streaked across the sky . In a couple of flashes, those rays of light had already entered the capital before they headed straight towards the Lin Clan . Meanwhile, the troops from the Tiger Devouring Army, who were guarding the Lin Clan, also detected this . However, the caution on their faces quickly disappeared . Instead, a heated and reverent expression took its place as they hurriedly knelt down on one knee .
Many members of the Lin Clan were startled when they saw this scene . Promptly, wild joy surged within their eyes . After all, they knew that the only person in the Lin Clan who could command such respect from these extremely powerful individuals, was that legendary man .
“Junior tribe leader is back!” A frantic and joyous commotion erupted within the entire Lin Clan instantly .
Lin Xiao, who was in the meeting room, had also detected the commotion within the clan . Soon after, he hurriedly led some elders and walked out . The instant they came out, they saw that several lights were flashing in the courtyard in front of the meeting room . Finally, a couple of figures appeared .
“Dong’er . ”
When she saw Lin Dong, joy immediately appeared on Liu Yan’s face, who was standing behind Lin Xiao . Meanwhile, standing beside her, Lin Xiao was also full of smiles .
Lin Dong grinned at them . Then, he moved aside, revealed the girl hiding behind him .
“You… Qingtan?” Liu Yan and Lin Xiao were startled as their eyes widened immediately .
“Father, mother . ”
Initially, Qingtan was still a little hesitant . However, when she saw the tears rolling down Liu Yan’s face, her eyes turned red immediately . Following which, she began to sob before she leapt into Liu Yan’s embrace .
Liu Yan hugged her carefully, before she looked at her familiar face . It has been many years since they met and her small face was no longer as immature looking as before . However, this only caused Liu Yan’s heart to ache . In fact, this heartache was even more intense compared to the one she experienced, when she thought of the hardships that Lin Dong must have suffered while he was roaming outside .
“You lass . Over all these years, you never sent us a message . Are you trying to drive us mad?!” Liu Yan hugged Qingtan tightly . After which, she involuntarily extended her hand before she violently smacked that girl’s buttocks in anger .
Qingtan moaned . Her small face was red as she wiggled in Liu Yan’s embrace . Judging by her current demeanor, in no way did she resemble that cold and stern palace master of Darkness Palace . In fact, she looked exactly like a little girl who had been caught red-handed after leaving home on her own .
“Humph, you’re finally willing to return?” Lin Xiao asked with a stern expression .
“Father, I really missed you . ” Qingtan grabbed Lin Xiao’s large hand before she smilingly said .
Lin Xiao snorted and he was just about to scold her . However, when he saw the brilliant smile on her beautiful flower like face, he found himself at a loss for words . There was no telling just how much hardship this lass had suffered on the outside over the last few years . Just thinking about it made his heart ache .
“It’s good now that you are back . However, if you dare to leave home without telling us in the future, I will get your big brother to punish you!” Lin Xiao snorted . However, his tensed face slowly relaxed . Then, he extended his large and rough hand, before he rubbed Qingtan’s small head and sighed, “But… it’s good that you are back . It’s good that you are back . ”
“Father, mother, sorry . I’ve learnt my lesson . ” Qingtan’s eyes reddened after she heard Lin Xiao sighing in relief . She had also been through a lot over the past few years . Therefore, she knew how precious and valuable the selfless pure love from Lin Xiao and Liu Yan were .
When Lin Dong saw his parents sighing, he gently smiled . Their family was finally reunited .
Liu Yan hugged Qingtan . Then, she suddenly spotted Ling Qingzhu, who was standing beside Lin Dong . Immediately, she was stunned . At this moment, the latter had already removed her veil and revealed her gorgeous face . Despite this, Liu Yan still managed to recognise her . Promptly, joy rose in her eyes as she quickly tugged Lin Xiao’s sleeve .
Lin Xiao finally recovered after being reminded by her . Then, he smilingly looked at Ling Qingzhu, before he coughed dryly and said, “Dong’er . Since you have brought a guest back, why didn’t you introduce us to her?”
Lin Dong was speechless . Didn’t they meet her before?
Beside him, when Ling Qingzhu saw the scene in front of her, her face became slightly flushed . In the past, when she came to visit Lin Xiao and Liu Yan, she chose to do so as Lin Dong’s friend . Therefore, none of her visits were as ambiguous as this one . Moreover, there were so many members of the Lin Clan in her surroundings staring at her .
“Junior Ling Qingzhu greets the both of you . ” Ling Qingzhu bowed slightly before she said in a soft and respectful manner .
She was a lady that was so gorgeous that her looks could devastate an entire country and she had a cold demeanor . However, her rarely seen gentle and subservient demeanor caused even Lin Dong, who was standing beside her, to become somewhat absent-minded .
Unknowingly, countless Lin Clan members had scaled the walls around this courtyard . In fact, some of them even resorted to climbing the large trees outside . After which, they were all staring in shock at that absolutely gorgeous lady . In fact, many of them were salivating . Soon after, a commotion erupted .
“Wah, what a gorgeous fairy-esque lady…”
“What relationship does she have with brother Lin Dong?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Big brother Lin Dong brought her back to our Lin Clan to meet his parents . What relationship could they possibly have?”
“Big brother Lin Dong is truly skilled . ”
Although the commotion occurred outside the courtyard, given Ling Qingzhu’s senses, she could naturally hear all their conversations . Soon after, her pretty face became boiling hot . Then, she clenched her teeth gently before she glared at Lin Dong, who was currently smiling in an embarrassed manner .
“Haha, it’s actually Miss Qingzhu . ”
Liu Yan smiled as she walked forward and held Ling Qingzhu . However, her eyes were continuously sweeping over the latter’s body . Meanwhile, joy and satisfaction was present in her eyes, and she could not hide it no matter how much she tried to . Hence, under her gaze, the embarrassment within Ling Qingzhu’s eyes intensified . However, she could only brace herself and face Liu Yan head-on .
Liu Yan clearly liked Ling Qingzhu a lot . Moreover, she knew that the latter had a cold and indifferent character, and did not like to be the focus of attention . Therefore, Liu Yan quickly pulled her and Qingtan back into the house . After which, countless disgruntled cries sounded from around the courtyard . This caused Lin Dong to be slightly annoyed, as he promptly scanned the place with his sharp eyes . Immediately, many figures standing on the walls of the courtyard began to shrink backwards in a miserable fashion . Following which, howls sounded from around the courtyard .
