Chapter: Like an Elder Brother
As the Purple Qi descended, Lian Yun, who was in a meditative state, suddenly felt a great stirring within his Box. Although he did not open his eyes, he sensed everything happening in the courtyard.
He realized that there was a Zombie beneath the pond and perceived his grandmother's feelings towards that Zombie. He guessed that the Zombie was his grandfather. He wanted to transfer all the Purple Qi to his grandfather, but he found that the Box within him was quite forceful; it would not compromise unless it received half.
Thus, Lian Yun only allocated half of the Purple Qi into the pond.
Grandma naturally understood her grandson's character and knew that Lian Yun's body held secrets. However, she did not ask; like Lin Nan, she did not want to know Lian Yun's secret or let anyone, including herself, know about it.
Upon hearing Lian Yun's insightful advice, Grandma transformed her worries into joy and gently nodded, saying, "If only your parents' bodies were not lost..."
"It seems that the incoming Purple Qi is also insufficient!" Lian Yun replied.
Lian Yun appeared relaxed, but how could Grandma not understand what he was thinking?
He wanted to search for the remains of his parents, which may or may not still exist.
After all, that Demon Emperor had been so powerful. Even after Lin Beiyan and Lian Cheng consumed the Explosive Ascension Pill and paid with their lives, they could only severely injure it. Thus, even if the remains of Lian Yun's parents were intact, it would be difficult for him to find them or even know where their bodies were located.
After a moment of silence, Grandma suddenly became assertive: "Unless you have absolute certainty, do not come to ask me!"
Lian Yun nodded lightly, his expression somewhat relaxed. As long as he knew that Grandma had a Secret Technique to revive corpses and that there was a chance for hope, he was content.
He did not wish to demand too much at present; after all, acting recklessly without absolute certainty could not only thwart his goals but also cost him his life. If his parents were aware from beyond the grave, they would likely be restless.
"Yuer has returned this evening and wishes to discuss something with you!"
"This sword has been used for three years, and it's still manageable. I might as well keep it!"
"No way! 'Manageable' is not good enough. Besides, this sword cannot awaken its spirit or self-repair. Once it’s damaged, it will be useless. How can you protect yourself in Yin Yang City all alone? While you still have no strong feelings for this sword, you should replace it quickly! Even the worst famous sword would be better than this one; I wouldn’t oppose that!"
Indeed, the sword in Lian Yun's hand was from the Lian Family, as the treasured sword he had used was destroyed by the Demon Emperor three years ago.
However, because it was a product of the Lian Family, even after three years of use, Lian Yun couldn't develop too many feelings for it. Yet, the thought of suddenly abandoning it made him reluctant; after all, it had been with him for three years.
"Cutting off what should be cut off will prevent further chaos!" Grandma scolded.
Only then did Lian Yun nod and say, "I'll take a look. If I find a sword I like, I'll exchange it; if not, I won't."
In the end, Grandma compromised because she knew her grandson valued emotions deeply. If not for that, why would he have stayed with the Lian Family for three years despite knowing they had wronged him? He simply wanted to give Lianjiang another chance.
Moreover, although this grandson usually tried to please her in every way, once he made a decision, no one could change it. This was also why Grandma had asked yesterday whether he could avoid going to Yin Yang City and why she hadn’t sent anyone to bring Lian Yun back from the Lian Family despite missing him dearly over the past three years.
Now that she could persuade her grandson to at least try, it was a sign of respect from him.
Naturally, Grandma was dissatisfied and angrily said, "Go on then; you’re a headache!"
However, Lian Yun wrapped his arms around Grandma's shoulders from behind and gave her a gentle hug!
After all, Grandma was someone who made decisions with a single word but had made various compromises for him out of deep affection.
After the embrace, Lian Yun smiled playfully and then stood up. In just a few quick movements, he was outside the courtyard.
It was not that he was eager to obtain the sword, but rather that he longed to see his cousin, Lin Feiyu.
In the Lian Family, Lian Xiong, the eldest son, had been jealous of Lian Yun since childhood. How could he possibly treat Lian Yun well? However, Lin Feiyu was different; he treated Lian Yun as if he were a biological brother, or perhaps even better than that.
Every time Lian Yun visited the Lin family, Lin Feiyu would take time out of his busy schedule to show Lian Yun around the capital!
According to Lin Feiyu, he was going out to socialize with peers—talented individuals or members of noble families—and bringing Lian Yun along was merely incidental.
Yet Lian Yun understood that his cousin did not particularly enjoy socializing. The real reasons for taking him out were twofold: first, to let him have some fun, and second, to help him interact with the young nobles of the capital and make friends. This way, when difficulties arose in the future, he would have allies to rely on.
Thus, in Lian Yun's heart, Lin Feiyu was like a benevolent older brother, deserving of his utmost respect.
Moreover, as the Eldest Grandson of the Lin Family, Lin Feiyu held a high status. He had no need to personally venture out in search of a sword for an outsider; this was also a testament to his care for Lian Yun!
Furthermore, given that he was unaware of Lian Yun's considerable physical abilities and his capacity for recovering spiritual energy, this care became even more precious.
………………
In the vast Underground Training Room once again.
When Lian Yun arrived, he found none of his cousins present! Only a man was engaged in combat with Lin Nan atop the Plum Blossom Poles.
The man exuded charm and confidence, yet there was an air about him that combined casualness with a profound sense of virtue and strength.
Dressed simply in casual attire, he nonetheless displayed a robust physique brimming with vitality and resilience.
All movements were light and effortless, as if he were a true Grandmaster.
When Lian Yun saw this man, her heart felt warm.
She quickly walked a few steps to the side of the Plum Blossom Poles, next to Lin Xi, remaining silent as she watched the man battle Lin Nan.
Lin Nan was considered one of the Four Great Talents of Huaxia, and now he had reached the First-Class Monarch realm. However, despite his undefeated record, he was being suppressed at every turn in this match against the man.
There was a sense that Lin Nan was no match for his opponent.
"Nan, you’re not doing well! With guidance from the four Monarchs of your family and numerous esteemed masters, you’re only slightly better than an ordinary king!" The man suddenly spoke, his voice gentle and magnetic, like a refreshing breeze that lifted one's spirits.
Lin Nan immediately sheathed his sword and stood there, looking sullen and ashamed.
Among his peers, Lin Nan held some admiration for Lian Yun, but he had immense respect for Lin Feiyu, even more so considering the presence of Grandma and the three Monarchs.
Thus, after being called out by his elder brother, Lin Nan felt somewhat dejected.
"How about a match between Yun and me?"
