Lian Yun had long been accustomed to Le Yan's difficulties. For instance, when they first met, he would often come to her house only to be driven away by her. At that time, Lian Yun stubbornly insisted on staying.
With a clear conscience, Lian Yun naturally did not mind her deliberate "troubles." In fact, the long-lost feeling brought a sense of warmth and nostalgia to Lian Yun.
The arrangements were simple, and the food and drinks were ordinary, yet soon the place was filled with guests.
The three elder matriarchs raised their glasses in a toast. To avoid being rude, they did not neglect those they disliked; their smiles were just a bit stiff.
The members of the Alliance High Command also seemed to be forcing themselves to endure. The Lin Clan was too powerful now, and Lian Yun was too strong. If she were displeased and decided to wipe them out, they would have no way to defend themselves.
On the other hand, if they chose not to attend, Lian Yun might use it as an excuse in the future when their family faced destruction, leaving them without any help.
Did you notice that the leader Xu Wenchang didn’t come?
To be honest, given Xu Wenchang's status, it seemed reasonable for him not to attend. However, his presence could have eased relations between the Lin Clan and Lian Yun.
But why didn’t he come?
It was likely because he wanted to draw all of Lin Clan's and Lian Yun's grievances onto himself, hoping that she and the Lin Clan would not hold grudges against other families.
Although the food and drinks were not extravagant, the atmosphere remained cordial. Even figures like Sima Yi, Han Xin, and Sun Ancestor Sun Bin from thousands of years ago had no intention of leaving early.
Overall, the banquet was quite harmonious.
However, as the banquet approached its conclusion, a presence equal to that of Lian Yun and Lin Xiaoyao erupted at the entrance of the venue.
Many people were caught off guard and fell to the ground or stumbled onto the dining table.
A rugged man appeared at the door, carrying two long objects covered with white cloth behind him.
With a fierce expression and piercing eyes fixed on Lian Yun, the rugged man smirked arrogantly and said, "I come on behalf of my lord under the command of the strategist to present a gift to the Cloud Emperor."
"Well! You brought me a gift? What is the occasion for congratulations?" Lian Yun said in a detached tone.
The visitor was quite arrogant, giving off a vibe of disrupting the gathering. He was merely a Human Slave.
No one recognized the Peerless Monarch, and since he was under the command of the strategist, it meant that this Rugged Man was a subordinate of the Peerless Demon Master.
Although Lian Yun felt a bit surprised, he was angered by the other party's rudeness. This was his grandmother's Birthday Banquet; while one could choose not to attend, causing a scene was unacceptable, even if the visitor was the strategist's Human Slave.
For some reason, the visitor suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation, and a fleeting panic crossed his face, which only three people present could perceive.
Lian Yun, Lin Xiaoyao, and Grandma.
Grandma did not show anger; although she could be stubborn and domineering, she was not one to easily lose face. She only felt a hint of confusion.
For this reason, Lin Xiaoyao spoke up: "Grandma, not long before our return, if it weren't for the Eternal Emperor intervening, an old-school Peerless Monarch would have been almost killed by Yun in one move."
Her words shocked everyone present even more than the visitor's identity. One move to kill, with the Eternal Emperor stepping in, and Lian Yun emerging unscathed—this information was simply overwhelming.
Lian Yun had already stepped out but stood firm ten meters away from the visitor; after all, he still had to give face to the Peerless Demon Master.
Upon seeing him, the Rugged Man dared not act arrogantly but still maintained his composure as he said, "Heh heh! Naturally, this is to celebrate Cloud Emperor's return from Yin Yang City. This generous gift must be of great significance to Cloud Emperor."
Lian Yun's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his breathing became heavier.
He recalled that it was the Peerless Demon Master's forces that attacked Cloud Emperor City, and his parents' bodies had vanished along with that Second-Rank Monarch's departure.
Now, although the object carried by the visitor was covered with white cloth, it resembled an upright coffin.
To Lian Yun, his parents' remains were indeed as heavy as Mount Tai.
Instinctively wanting to snatch it away, Lian Yun found that the Rugged Man had already anticipated this and took a step back. With a hearty laugh, he said, "Cloud Emperor need not rush; it won't be too late to receive the gift after I convey the strategist's words."
"The tone was very cold."
"You still have two and a half years, Strategist!"
With that, Rugged Man pushed two long boxes covered in white cloth in front of him and instantly soared into the sky, speeding away. He felt as if he had hit a steel plate and dared not linger.
Lian Yun did not pursue, as there were more important matters awaiting his confirmation.
However, Grandma arrived at Lian Yun's side first, lifting the two objects and flying out the door towards the Lin family.
Lian Yun turned and embraced Le Yan, then without a word rushed out, closely following Grandma. At that moment, he feared that Grandma might not hold the two objects steadily, just as Grandma worried that Lian Yun might damage them.
"Feather, entertain the guests!"
Lin Dong shouted, and together with Lin Xi and Lin Nan, they chased after Lian Yun and Grandma with red eyes, moving at full speed.
At this moment, Lin Wuji and the others no longer considered Lin Feiyu's situation and hurriedly left.
This left an anxious Lin Feiyu and somewhat bewildered Guests behind.
Few knew that the bodies of Lianyun's parents had mysteriously disappeared; to outsiders, it seemed that Lin Beiyan and Lian Cheng had been utterly destroyed.
Now only a handful could guess that the two objects covered in white cloth might be the remains of Lianyun's parents. However, they were puzzled by what the phrase "there are still two and a half years" meant.
With the main characters having left, the Guests naturally had no intention of staying longer and began to take their leave.
Lin Feiyu also returned their courtesies one by one. Once everyone had departed, he hurried home.
……………………
Back at Grandma's Mansion, beneath the Pavilion, Grandma trembled as she cautiously pulled back the two pieces of white cloth.
Two ice blocks encased a man and a woman within their frozen confines.
The woman appeared to be just over twenty, bearing a striking resemblance to Grandma. The man, however, looked quite different from Lian Yun, though there were still hints of similarity in the contours of his face.
Indeed, they were Lian Yun's parents, Lin Beiyan and Lian Cheng.
"Yan'er~~" Grandma touched the ice coffin with a sorrowful expression, her voice tinged with sadness.
Lian Yun's demeanor was much calmer; he gently called out to the man in the ice coffin, "Father!"
Yet, his body trembled even more violently, betraying the turmoil within him.
"Yun'er, what does two and a half years mean?" Grandma's tone turned icy.
Lian Yun's expression hardened as he replied solemnly, "If that incident was a conspiracy orchestrated by several great emperors of Huaxia, then the so-called two and a half years should be the time limit for my parents' souls to return to their bodies and revive."
"Several great emperors of Huaxia, using the matter of the Demon Realm Emperor as a pretext to secretly conspire against you?" Grandma's expression grew serious, fear flickering in her eyes.
