Chapter 6: Unexpected Encounter with the Nirvana Order
The Boss and the Boss Lady seemed to be natural enemies. As soon as they clashed, they began hurling insults at each other without a care for the presence of others.
This left Lian Yun, Lin Nan, and the young man who had instinctively positioned himself in front of Lian Yun feeling quite speechless.
However, Lin Nan's expression relaxed somewhat, as it appeared that neither of the two bore any ill will.
In the end, the Boss Lady could not withstand the shamelessness of the Boss, who was always ready for a showdown. She tossed a Sachet to Lian Yun and said irritably, "Let Grandma inform you!"
With a swish, the Boss abruptly closed the shop door.
Lian Yun and the young man exchanged glances, while Lin Nan wore a thoughtful expression. It seemed he had come up with something, as his eyes brightened and he nodded repeatedly.
He then gently patted Lian Yun's head and said softly, "Yun, why did you let that Lian Xiong go just now? Hasn't he been making things difficult for you? You've already built up animosity; he might become a hidden danger in the future."
Clearly, Lin Nan's earlier shout had been aimed at eliminating Lian Xiong.
Yet Lian Yun merely smiled calmly and shook his head slightly. "He's not worth fearing."
With that, Lian Yun picked up three Ghost Groups from the ground.
The young man immediately expressed disdain. "Cousin, why do you want these useless ghosts? Just throw them away! Grandma has already ordered a Demon King Set for you. Even if they are all low-level ghost kings, at least it's a complete set of ten!"
Thinking of his grandmother made Lian Yun break into a bright smile that radiated warmth.
It was well known that even the lowest-tier Demon King Set was an extremely valuable item. Ordinary families might exhaust their fortunes and still struggle to gather one.
This clearly showed how much Lian Yun's grandmother cared for him.
Nevertheless, Lian Yun tucked the three Ghost Groups into his pocket and replied, "They have their uses!"
"Alright! Let's go home with Uncle and your cousin!" Lin Nan continued to stroke Lian Yun's head with an expression full of affection and pity.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they reached the end of the street, stepping into an Armored Bus adorned with a massive bull's head silhouette.
In the world of Spirits, most of them need to attach themselves to physical objects to survive for long periods, and the size of the object is related to their strength.
Typically, a Spirit wishing to attach itself to a large vehicle like a car must possess strength at least equivalent to that of a Ghost King.
Thus, a Spirit that can attach itself to a bus must have strength no lower than that of a Second-Class Demon King.
This illustrates the power of the Lin Family.
The bus that Lian Yun and the others boarded was spacious, resembling a grand hall inside.
As soon as they entered, the young boy couldn't help but shout, "Cousin, cousin, quickly open that Sachet and see what treasure it holds!"
Clearly aware of the situation, he had restrained his excitement on the way but could no longer contain his curiosity once inside the vehicle.
Lian Yun was equally curious and untied the Sachet, revealing a token.
The token was deep purple all over, resembling dark gold, and both sides were engraved with the ancient characters for Nirvana.
The entire token appeared exquisitely crafted yet exuded an aura of simplicity and antiquity.
The boy snatched the token, played with it for a while, then returned it to Lian Yun. Together, they looked at Lin Nan with puzzled expressions.
Upon seeing the token, Lin Nan revealed an expression of realization and then seemed somewhat dazed, even showing a hint of envy.
This left Lian Yun and the boy utterly shocked.
It was important to note that Lin Nan was a Monarch, one of fewer than a thousand powerful figures within the World Alliance. His character was somewhat ascetic; thus, for something to evoke envy in him indicated its extraordinary value.
This only heightened Lian Yun and the boy's curiosity to its peak.
"Uncle, what use does this token have? Is it similar to my Cloud Emperor's Order? If that's the case, then it should go to Nan!"
"Are you crazy, Cousin? When we came here, my dad said that if the Cloud Emperor's Order is a hassle, just let it go. He'll give you his Southern Emperor's Order. How could a token that makes my dad envious compare to an imperial decree?"
This statement carried a lot of weight.
First, the imperial decree is a token that only a Monarch can possess, granting a twenty percent boost to spiritual power, effectively enhancing the Monarch's strength by the same percentage.
In the Armed Ghost Catcher World, this is considered a treasure. However, due to the rarity of materials needed to create imperial decrees, among the nearly thousand Monarchs in the current World Alliance, about one-third do not possess their own exclusive imperial decree.
This is why the alliance has been trying various ways to retrieve the Cloud Emperor's Order from Lian Yun.
Yet, despite its immense value, Lin Nan was willing to abandon it just to avoid causing Lian Yun unnecessary trouble, which shows how much he dotes on Lian Yun.
Moreover, the fact that the young man could say such things indicates that while he may seem eccentric and playful, he is actually quite thoughtful.
Thinking about it, in Lian Yun's generation, there is one emperor and four great sons: Charming Fish, Fallen Goose, Closing the Moon, and Shy Flower—each a talented figure in Huaxia.
Among them, Lian Yun is the emperor, while the young man named Lin Nan is known as Nanzi. His talents are only second to Lian Yun’s, proving he is also extraordinary.
Additionally, given the strict family rules and heavy education in the Lin family, it makes sense for Lin Nan to behave this way.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Nan shook his head slightly and said, "Well! I don't know much. I only know that the Nirvana Order itself has no special effects apart from conveying information. However, it represents an identity and a powerful organization. It will be greatly beneficial for Yun. As for specifics, you'll have to ask your grandmother when you get home!"
Lin Nan immediately scorned his father but was then tapped on the head by Lin Nan himself and held his head with a look of grievance.
Lian Yun nodded and put away the Nirvana Order while burying a sense of gratitude deep in his heart.
Although that Boss Lady had deep schemes and quietly probed him once, Lian Yun still remembered her goodwill.
"Well! What are your plans for the future? That... um..."
The elegant Monarch Lin San Ye suddenly fell silent, his expression somewhat anxious and expectant, which puzzled Lian Yun greatly.
Meanwhile, Lin Nan shouted from the side, "Cousin! My dad wants to adopt you as his son!"
In an instant, Lian Yun's eyes turned red.
If it were in the past when he still possessed his spiritual power, Lin Nan might not have thought much of this sentiment. However, now that he had lost all his spiritual energy, for Lin Nan to still harbor such feelings was a profound expression of care.
Although most members of the Lin family did not reject Lian Yun, Uncle, Second Uncle, and the maternal uncle before him treated him with great affection.
Yet, his status as an outsider would inevitably attract gossip.
Lin Nan simply did not want Lian Yun to suffer from such talk, which is why he wished to adopt the 'useless' Lian Yun as his son. This clearly showed how he regarded Lian Yun as if he were his own flesh and blood.
However, Lian Yun shook his head and refused. "You are my uncle! I don't want to burden the Lin family!"
"How could it be a burden?" Lin Nan said anxiously, his face slightly flushed.
But Lin Nan suddenly trembled, his eyes shining brightly yet filled with a hint of confusion.
Lian Yun smiled lightly and nodded. "Uncle, let's go to Cloud Emperor City! I still owe that girl a favor!"
