Chapter 1 Arrival at the Lin Clan Royal Family
At that moment, Lian Yun felt a sense of peace, but he did not relax. Instead, he sat quietly, recovering from his fatigue while allowing the burgeoning spiritual energy to fill his empty body.
When Big Head Ghost woke up, Lian Yun released another Spirit.
However, this Spirit seemed to possess a fair amount of intelligence. Although it looked down on Lian Yun's provocation, it chose to evade him first and then used the objects in the room to attack Lian Yun.
After several attempts, once it confirmed that Lian Yun had no special means to counter it, it finally entertained the thought of seizing control.
As for the outcome, it was naturally the same as the previous Spirit—it was dismantled into nothingness.
Once the second Spirit was refined, Big Head Ghost absorbed it and then squeezed out some spiritual energy to replenish Lian Yun. By the time everything concluded, Lian Yun could feel a slight sense of fullness in his body, marking a significant gain.
However, Lian Yun also felt a wave of fatigue wash over him.
Perhaps the entry of the Spirit had caused physical harm, leading to considerable mental exhaustion. The main issue was the impurities within that Spirit. Although they were completely expelled from his body, the lingering aura of malice and danger directly assaulted Lian Yun's mind.
Though Lian Yun considered that this might help sharpen his willpower, the stimulation to his spirit was extremely intense, constantly testing his resolve.
After checking the time, he realized there was still over an hour until they would reach the Lin family. He decided to lie down on the broken bed for a short rest.
An hour passed quickly; although he did not fall asleep, Lian Yun felt somewhat rejuvenated. Upon hearing the announcement that they had arrived at the Lin family estate, he hurriedly got up, tidied his clothes and slightly disheveled hair before opening the door.
As soon as he stepped outside, Lian Yun was met with two worried gazes. Lin Nan turned sideways to look behind Lian Yun.
He understood that Lin Nan's concern stemmed from the commotion he had caused during his battle with the second Spirit; Lin Nan was unaware of what had transpired.
Lian Yun did not explain but smiled lightly, revealing a hint of nostalgia.
Although he did not live in the Lin family all year round during his childhood, he often stayed there, primarily to receive their education.
It had been over three years since he last visited the Lin family, who treated him and everyone else with such kindness. How could he not feel nostalgic?
Thus, he urged the two to get out of the car quickly.
However, as soon as he stepped out, his eyes turned red.
In addition to Grandma, his grandmother, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Three Aunts were all present, along with a large crowd behind them.
Before the two men who resembled Lin Nan could say anything, three stunning beauties beside them called out, "Yun'er, what are you doing standing by the car? Hurry down so your Aunts can have a good look at you."
Before Lian Yun could get out of the car, Three Aunts stepped forward and pulled him down, then carefully examined him from head to toe.
Seeing that Lian Yun was perfectly fine without any injuries, they nodded in satisfaction.
"Mommy~~ your precious son is back! Aren't you going to check if I'm hurt?" Lin Nan shouted.
Among the three breathtaking beauties surrounding Lian Yun, one exquisite young woman with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye turned away without looking back and said, "Go stand aside. Matriarch is here; you all are too slow and almost caused Yun'er to get hurt. You need to be punished."
Lin Nan shivered at that remark, and even Monarch Lin Nan couldn't help but tense up. It was clear how much authority Grandma held in the Lin family.
However, this made Lian Yun feel somewhat heavy-hearted.
It was because of Grandma's overwhelming affection that left no room for even the slightest injury. This love felt too burdensome for Lian Yun, making it difficult for him to breathe.
As the man spoke, he waved his hand, and several spirits resembling the Big Head Ghost flew out, each holding a measuring tool, darting around Lian Yun.
At this moment, the man said, "Although your grandmother hasn't expressed her opinion about your trip to Yin Yang City, since Yun'er has the chance to regain her spiritual power, she will need a complete set of new equipment. Do you have any special requests?"
"Yun'er greets Uncle, Second Uncle, Three Aunts, and all the elders."
Respectfully bowing to everyone who welcomed her, Lian Yun then extended her hand and moved her fingers gracefully.
Seeing this, Lian Yun's Uncle and Second Uncle's eyes lit up with surprise, and they couldn't help but nod in approval.
In today's world, human technology is quite advanced. For a family like the Lin Clan, it wouldn't be surprising to have some nanotechnology cameras or listening devices; even satellite surveillance seems possible. Thus, almost every family and Major Power has its own unique sign language.
Even though they were in an underground parking lot, Lian Yun felt a sense of wonder.
However, Lian Yun was not expressing any sign language at that moment; she was merely showcasing the dexterity of her fingers.
Only those above the Second-Rank Monarch level could see clearly that Lian Yun's seemingly vague five fingers were actually in a state of motionless layering.
This indicated that Lian Yun's physical abilities were no less than those of an ordinary Second-Rank Monarch, which naturally made her two uncles proud of her.
After understanding Lian Yun's needs, her Uncle waved his hand to disperse the crowd. "We'll talk later; first, go see your grandmother! She has been worried about you for three years."
As Lin Dong finished speaking, the people around had already run off, and he himself disappeared into a doorway with a few sways.
After all, the Lin family is large and prosperous, with countless matters to attend to. With so many high-ranking members of the family present to welcome Lian Yun, he didn't know how many important affairs had been delayed.
Lian Yun's maternal family, the Lin Clan, is referred to as royal because five Monarchs have emerged from just two generations: her late grandfather Lin Jin and her grandmother from the Zhang Family.
The three uncles were all Monarchs, and if it weren't for the conspiracy from years ago, Lian Yun's mother, Lin Beiyan, would also have been recognized as someone destined to become a Monarch within ten years.
With two generations of Monarchs, it would be unreasonable to deny that the Lin Clan is a royal family; what other family could claim such a title?
Moreover, in the third generation of the Lin Clan, Lin Nan has recently emerged as a prominent figure.
Although Lin Nan carries the title of one of the Four Great Sons, he is not the most outstanding individual among the third generation of the Lin Clan.
Lian Yun also has several extraordinary cousins who are several years older than him. While they belong to the same generation, they cannot be considered entirely equal peers.
After all, being older means their social circles are completely different.
Though they may not have names as illustrious as Lin Nan's, their displayed abilities are already impossible to overlook. If one were to consider their hidden strengths...
It seems that among the third generation of the Lin Clan, there may be more than just two or three individuals who could potentially become Monarchs in the future.
Thus, it is clear that calling the Lin Clan a royal family is certainly not an exaggeration.
