Chapter 149: Naming Lin Ling
Seeing Grandma's astonished expression, Master Pang smiled slightly and said, "From what Liu Lao has mentioned, Young Master Yun intends to establish a force. Based on Liu Lao's description, it is clear that the individuals under Young Master Yun are exceptionally talented. However, their realms are not high enough, which limits their vision."
"Thus, I thought it would be beneficial to offer some guidance to help them develop swiftly."
Indeed, the intelligence of Zhou Tong, Jiang Ao, and Murong Ying could be described as unparalleled, yet their perspectives were somewhat limited.
In terms of intellect, the three were not necessarily inferior to Zhang Jiao and Master Pang. However, Zhang Jiao and Master Pang could clearly understand the intentions of the Peerless Demon Master, while Zhou Tong and the others struggled to grasp the situation.
This was a matter of Zhou Tong and his companions lacking higher realms and broader visions.
Similarly, Lian Yun was also in this predicament. His intelligence could rival that of Zhou Tong and the others, but he failed to realize that Master Pang's strategic foundation might be aimed at ensuring the safety of the common people. This too was a reflection of his insufficient realm and limited foresight.
However, having Master Pang assist Zhou Tong and the others in establishing their force raised concerns. Not only would Zhou Tong and his companions potentially resent it, but Lian Yun himself did not wish for Master Pang to leave Grandma's side.
Despite appearing as just a minister with no combat prowess, Master Pang was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Peerless Demon Master. Although he had died young and lacked opportunities to showcase his abilities, it did not mean he was devoid of combat strength.
If Master Pang truly lacked fighting capability, how could he have supported Grandma to reach her current status in this world where strength is paramount?
In fact, Master Pang was quite skilled in sorcery. However, since Lin Jin established the Lin Family alongside Grandma, he had shifted his focus towards strategy to help the Lin Family grow, resulting in less noticeable progress in his sorcery skills.
Although Lian Yun was unaware of all the details, he felt that his grandfather Lin Jin's rebirth had much to do with Master Pang's influence.
Considering his grandfather's situation made Lian Yun even less inclined to let Master Pang leave Grandma.
After a moment of silence, Lian Yun said, "Master Pang, I appreciate your good intentions. This can serve as a test for them! I have already informed them of certain matters and created favorable conditions for them. If they still cannot establish a strong Major Power from this opportunity, I may not dare to rely on them in the future."
"Master Pang, please wait until tomorrow to leave. When the time comes, invite Liu Lao; I believe he will be pleased as well. A year or two is not an issue." Grandma nodded at Master Pang and then glared at Lian Yun. "With nothing but empty hands and no experts around, Yun'er, you really know how to put people in a difficult position!"
In response to this, Lian Yun was not particularly resolute. As soon as Grandma expressed her anger, he immediately sought to appease her with smiles and did not dare to retort.
After all, it was quite ordinary for Grandma not to leave this courtyard for a year or two; there was ample time for Master Pang to set up any defensive formations needed.
Moreover, there was Liu Lao. The Lin Clan had sent him to gather Spirit Cores; perhaps this was also an indication that he wished for some solitude. Given his qualifications, he certainly deserved better and more relaxed treatment.
It was just Lin Beiyan and Lian Yun, both of whom he had watched grow up. However, one was dead and the other incapacitated. Although no one from the Lin Clan blamed him, he probably had little face left to stay in the family.
Yet, he did not want to sever ties with the family he had devoted his life to, which led him to choose a position outside the clan.
Now, being asked to help Lian Yun establish power, he thought his elder would be quite pleased.
This was also the main reason Lian Yun did not oppose it.
Grandma shot a glare at Lian Yun and said, "Since you're leaving tomorrow, does that mean you won't be coming back?"
Lian Yun nodded, looking somewhat ashamed.
Grandma continued, "Then you should pay your uncle a visit!"
"Yes, I was just thinking of that," Lian Yun replied with a slight smile, taking the wings from his back before bidding farewell and leaving.
Lian Yun did not notice that as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, Grandma followed right behind him and left the Lin family without revealing her destination.
Upon arriving at Lin Nan's courtyard, Lian Yun found his Aunt Huang leisurely lying on a chair while Lin Nan attended to her. Lin Nan seemed to be vying for affection, likely feeling neglected since the birth of his younger sibling.
Perhaps it was because Lian Yun had recently helped Huang Wenjie gain some benefits, but Aunt Huang had always been very kind to him. As soon as she saw Lian Yun, she warmly called out, "Yun'er, come here! Come see your future brother or sister!"
Lian Yun approached and intentionally looked at her belly. He noticed that Huang was about six or seven months pregnant, but her belly did not seem to have grown much.
However, Lian Yun did not pay much attention to this since he had no experience in such matters. He handed over the wings in his hand and said, "Aunt, this is a gift for your future nephew or niece."
"How thoughtful!" Lin Nan took the wings with a somewhat melancholic expression.
Although he did not know what difficulties Lian Yun had faced in Fengdu, he understood that these Dragonfly Demon wings were rarely produced between Evil Spirit Cities and knew roughly the strength of the Dragonfly Demon.
Yet Lian Yun had brought back so many just to give a 'toy' to the child...
After being married for over ten years, how could Huang not know what her husband was thinking? She gently patted her belly and smiled at Lian Yun. "Yun'er, would you like to feel it?"
"Lian Yun" felt a bit conflicted. On one hand, it was inappropriate for men and women to be too close; on the other hand, although "Huang" was his aunt, her youthful appearance in her twenties made it difficult for "Lian Yun" to feel 'close.' He had never experienced anything like this before, yet he genuinely wanted to feel the 'miracle of life.'
After some inner turmoil, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay?"
"Of course! This is your little cousin or cousin-to-be!" "Huang" stood up, taking "Lian Yun's" hand and placing it on her belly.
With that, "Lian Yun" stopped overthinking and focused on feeling the faint life within.
Though it was weak, there was a tenacious, vibrant sensation that inexplicably cleansed "Lian Yun's" heart. A pure smile spread across his face, uncontrollable and untainted.
Seeing "Lian Yun's" innocent smile, "Lin Nan," "Huang," and "Lin Nan" couldn't help but laugh. There was a sense of inexplicable satisfaction on their faces, as if they hadn't seen "Lian Yun" smile like this in a long time.
Suddenly, "Huang" had an idea and said with a grin, "How about 'Yun'er' gives this child a name?"
"How about 'Lin Ling'? If it's a boy, we can call him Ling'er; if it's a girl, we'll call her Lingling."
Clearly, "Lian Yun" had thought this through beforehand. His effort in bringing gifts for his little cousins showed how much he cared for this unborn child.
