Chapter 71: Discussion
Although they had never been apart, for Ling Er, her mother's embrace was the first reunion she had ever experienced. Even though Lin Nan had left, the others did not disturb them and quietly withdrew.
Lian Yun took Le Yan by the hand and walked directly to the courtyard that once belonged to his mother, which now could be considered his own.
As they entered, they saw the Twelve Fierce Warriors lined up neatly. Understanding their thoughts, Lian Yun said, "After my grandmother's Birthday Banquet, I will take you to find the Overlord."
The Twelve Fierce Warriors knelt on one knee in silence, offering no words.
In their hearts, they already had loyal individuals, yet they felt unable to repay Lian Yun's kindness. Thus, they bowed but dared not make any promises.
This was because if the Overlord were to forcefully seek unification, there would inevitably come a time when they would stand against Lian Yun.
Lian Yun accepted this calmly; he knew that if he did not accept their loyalty, the Twelve Fierce Warriors would feel even more guilty.
Next came a period of quiet sitting. Lian Yun shared some of his experiences in Yin Yang City with Le Yan, particularly introducing Xiao Jun, Meng Yixuan, Lan Ruoxuan, Qian Duoduo, and the Insect Emperor.
These individuals were his benefactors and friends in Yin Yang City—those he cared about most.
Le Yan listened quietly and attentively, her expression remaining unchanged. She neither felt joy at Lian Yun's successes nor trembled with fear at his dangers.
She seemed somewhat indifferent, yet her gaze toward Lian Yun was filled with deep affection.
Perhaps she wanted Lian Yun to know that in the future, when he ventured out into the world, he need not worry about her feelings; no matter what happened, "I will quietly wait for your return."
Overwhelmed by emotion, Lian Yun embraced Le Yan once more, unwilling to let go for a long time.
Not long after, Grandma sent someone to invite Le Yan to her courtyard, so Lian Yun did not follow and instead went to the Underground Training Arena.
Lin's Three Uncles, Lin Feiyu, and four others surrounded Lin Xiaoyao, making a total of seven people attacking him.
The large training ground was in chaos, but when Lian Yun arrived, everything calmed down in his presence.
As Lian Yun walked to the center, Lin's Three Uncles and the five others stopped, forming a circle around him. Lin Dong spoke first with a serious expression, "Yun'er wishes for us to go to Yin Yang City?"
Lian Yun waved his hand and released a swallow. The swallow nodded at Lin Dong and said, "I don't know what kind of Earth Formation the Peerless Demon Master has set up, but since it took him a hundred years to arrange this grand formation, it must be extraordinary. The only place that can rival it is Yin Yang City."
"I do intend for you, Uncle, to go there, but there are pros and cons. It mainly depends on your willingness. In Yin Yang City, I have two avatars whose strength is around that of a Peerless Monarch. They can seek protection from Major Powers for you and can also help you establish a new Major Power."
"I have already prepared resources, and I have five hundred fifty-five loyal and capable people from the Cloud Realm."
"I've heard that the Xi Men Family also has influence in Yin Yang City, and they even have a Peerless Monarch?" Lin Feiyu said with a somewhat serious expression.
Lian Yun glanced at Lin Xiaoyao in surprise. The latter shrugged innocently, indicating he had no idea.
It turned out that Lin Xiaoyao had intentions of hunting down Ximen Qianlie when he went to Yin Yang City; he truly wanted to eradicate the Xi Men Family.
Lian Yun nodded but smiled slightly as he said, "Senior Xi Men Xiangyang is indeed a Heroic Leader. If I wanted to kill Ximen Qianlie, he would yield without resistance. Moreover, I have a connection with one of his granddaughters..."
"In any case, the Xi Men Family in Yin Yang City will not be my enemy."
The men suddenly displayed curious expressions. Seeing that Lian Yun was unwilling to elaborate further, they turned their attention to Lin Xiaoyao. He merely shrugged again with an expression that seemed to invite trouble.
Lin Dong nodded and said, "In that case, Feather, you can go ahead. As for us, we still need to think it over."
After all, while Yin Yang City offered extraordinary opportunities, Lin's Three Uncles were getting older, and their room for improvement was relatively limited. They were also concerned about the safety of the entire Huaxia nation. They truly couldn't afford to be aloof from the world, yet they hoped their family would have a fallback plan.
After chatting for a while, Lian Yun suddenly asked, "Have there been any unusual changes in the Alliance over the past three years?"
Lin Dong shook his head and replied, "It's been quite peaceful, to say the least. However, the atmosphere in Huaxia feels like a facade; it's the calm before the storm!"
In other words, everyone was preparing in their own way but maintaining a flexible attitude.
Before long, the three uncles took their leave first, either to continue preparing for the Birthday Banquet or to welcome early guests. Meanwhile, Lian Yun caught up with Lin Feiyu and others as they reminisced.
To be honest, Lin Feiyu and the others felt quite emotional. It was hard to believe that just over three years ago, Lian Yun still needed their protection, and now he had reached a level that left them in awe.
Truthfully, they all yearned for Yin Yang City.
However, they had already established families and careers; unlike Lin Nan, who was single and could leave without a care in the world.
For his cousins, Lian Yun still felt the same admiration for Lin Feiyu as if he were both a brother and a father.
Soon after came the peak time for guests. As the eldest grandson, Lin Feiyu naturally had to uphold proper etiquette. He soon returned to ask Lin Wuji and others to help out, leaving only Lian Yun and Lin Xiaoyao in the Underground Training Room.
Lian Yun smiled and said, "Xiaoyao Ge, didn't you go see your grandpa?"
"I wanted to, but Grandma wouldn't allow it," Lin Xiaoyao replied with an innocent shrug of his shoulders, showing no seriousness typical of a Peerless Expert.
However, Lian Yun did not mind and smiled slightly, saying, "It should be soon."
The Purple Qi within Lian Yun's Yin-Yang Stage was immense, as it was available from the outside and not exclusive to Yin Yang City. Therefore, Lian Yun was not worried about facing any punishment from Yin Yang City.
Afterward, Lian Yun returned to his courtyard to wait for others.
Although he had relaxed his mindset, he still did not wish to meet the Alliance High Command, so he did not enter the Birthday Banquet venue early.
Back in the courtyard, the people he was waiting for were Zhou Tong, Murong Ying, and Jiang Ao. It had been three years since they last met, and he wondered how much their influence had grown and whether they could handle the impending changes.
However, Lian Yun was a bit surprised that he did not wait for the three of them. Still, he did not mind much and instead waited outside Grandma's courtyard.
When Grandma emerged with Le Yan, who looked like a blossoming girl of fifteen or sixteen, Lian Yun entered alone and set up several formations over the lotus pond.
These were formations that Lian Yun had specifically consulted Ghost Daozi about. They were not particularly advanced formations but rather ones for isolation, illusion, and concealment.
Initially, Lian Yun thought that if Grandma was willing to go to Yin Yang City, he would use these three formations to protect his grandfather. If Grandma did not go to Yin Yang City, having these formations would allow her to move around more freely.
