Chapter 150: Leisurely Heading to Yin Yang City
The Lin family of three looked a bit surprised, then exchanged knowing smiles as they gazed at Lian Yun, making her feel somewhat awkward.
However, Lian Yun shyly explained, "When I heard that Aunt is pregnant, I couldn't help but think about what names would be good for my future cousins. I casually thought of the name 'Ling,' and it seems fitting for either a younger brother or sister."
"Yes! Lin Ling is a lovely name; let's go with that," Huang immediately decided. As a pregnant woman, her word was final, and Lin Nan and Lian Yun naturally had no objections.
It was likely that Grandma would also approve of the name Lian Yun chose.
"Oh! The baby just moved; it seems to like this name!" Huang suddenly smiled joyfully.
Lian Yun indeed felt as if a little hand had brushed against hers, filling her heart with an indescribable joy.
However, after that brief movement, Lin Ling became still again, leaving Lian Yun with a slight sense of regret as she withdrew her hand.
At that moment, Lin Nan furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Yun'er, come over to Uncle's house for dinner tonight. I'll have Second Uncle's family join us too."
He probably thought that since Lian Yun hadn't spent much time with Grandma, it meant she would be heading to Yin Yang City right after the competition. This dinner would serve as both a farewell and the only family gathering in the next three years.
Lian Yun nodded in agreement without refusing.
Not wanting to interrupt Lin Nan and Huang's intimate moment, Lian Yun walked with Lin Nan to his courtyard before asking, "What about Second Brother?"
"Second Brother is undergoing six months of training at the Dongfang family. Afterward, he plans to join Mu Shuai's army."
Lian Yun playfully tapped his head and said, "He is your Elder Brother. Did he manage to get the Blood Spirit Fruit?"
Lin Nan's response wasn't incorrect since Lian Yun had asked about 'Second Brother' and not 'Elder Brother.' However, it was clear that Lin Nan was reluctant to acknowledge his position as the third brother.
"Yes! I personally delivered it. Le Yan also took it to Cloud Emperor City for him; she might not know yet."
Although Lin Nan did not fully understand Lian Yun's intentions, she felt it was for the best; at least now she wouldn’t feel indebted to him.
“By the way, there’s something I need your help with.”
“What is it?” Lin Nan asked without hesitation.
“I’m going to send you a set of sword techniques now. You’ll pass them on to her in the future.”
“Brother, can’t you teach her yourself?”
“I plan to leave tomorrow, and I don’t have time.”
“Then let’s go now!”
“She’s still recovering from her injuries; it’s not suitable for her to practice swordsmanship!”
Lin Nan looked at him with deep disdain, knowing that Lian Yun was just making excuses out of fear of facing Le Yan. However, Lin Nan didn’t oppose him because he was actually eager to learn Lian Yun's terrifying sword techniques.
Yet, for some reason, among the Northern Yan Six Styles, Lin Beiyan’s three techniques were quickly mastered by Lin Nan, while he struggled to grasp the latter three techniques created by Lian Yun.
Even after three or four sessions, he could only remember the key points without truly understanding them.
Lian Yun didn’t take offense; instead, he comforted him, saying, “Perhaps this set of sword techniques isn’t suitable for you. In the future, you should create your own style. It might also be due to your lack of experience.”
However, Lin Nan ignored him and continued to practice diligently.
After some time, when Lin Nan finally came to speak, the two tidied up before heading with Huang and the others to the nearby Lin Dong Courtyard.
A large table had already been set up, but sitting at the side was Lin Dong’s wife, Qin Family, whose expression was slightly grim and not very pleasant. Lin Xi's Wife, Xiao Family, was beside her trying to offer comfort. Behind them stood several stunningly beautiful young women, all looking a bit anxious and at a loss.
Within the Lin family, Grandma was undoubtedly the most prominent figure. However, since Grandma had stopped managing affairs, among the women of the Lin Clan, it was naturally the dignified and virtuous Qin Family who held the highest status. While Grandma remained indifferent to others, only the Qin Family showed genuine concern for these women.
Thus, even though Huang was considered the most powerful and untouchable in the family, upon seeing the displeased expression on Qin Family's face, he hurried over and asked, "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?"
Qin Family quickly stood up, her expression slightly annoyed as she said, "Xin, don’t disturb the baby."
Xiao Family explained from the side, "Xiaoyao is also going to Yin Yang City. Sister-in-law is with mother; it’s best if she doesn’t come back."
Qin Family probably thought that Grandma didn’t care about Lin Xiaoyao’s well-being at all.
Seeing this, Lian Yun quickly stepped forward and respectfully greeted, "Yun'er pays her respects to Aunt, Second Aunt, and all the sisters-in-law."
"Aunt, you might have misunderstood Grandma."
Lian Yun then recounted some conversations she had with Grandma not long ago.
She continued to explain, "If our predictions come true, then the future Land of Huaxia may not suit Xiaoyao Ge's personality."
"Although Yin Yang City is fraught with dangers, it cannot be denied that it is also a place full of excitement."
"Moreover, Xiaoyao Ge seems to possess a very special charm that endears her to others. So don’t blame Aunt; I think perhaps Yin Yang City might actually be quite suitable for Xiaoyao Ge."
"You can!" In a rare moment, Qin Family reached out and tapped Lian Yun lightly on the forehead. Although it seemed like a reprimand, it felt more like an affectionate gesture towards her own child.
Lian Yun smiled brightly, showing a hint of flattery.
If an outsider were to witness this interaction, they might think Lian Yun had ulterior motives or was seeking companionship or assistance. However, Qin Family would not think that way. Just considering that her youngest son was about to head to Yin Yang City made her expression inevitably somber.
The uncertainty meant at least several years without mother and son seeing each other.
However, considering that if the Huaxia were truly to be disrupted, it might not be much better than Yin Yang City.
Perhaps it was indeed as Lian Yun said, Yin Yang City might actually be quite suitable for Lin Xiaoyao.
Before long, someone spotted Lin Xiaoyao peeking at the entrance, seemingly afraid of being scolded by the Qin Family. Nevertheless, he was pulled inside by them.
About an hour later, Lin Dong and Lin Xi arrived with a serious demeanor, yet their expressions were relaxed.
Having listened to the Qin Family's words and understanding Grandma's stance, Lin Dong said, "That's fine, but Xiaoyao, you need to keep a close eye on Yun'er."
"I'll look after Yun; I don't need Yun to look after me," Lin Xiaoyao replied carelessly, showing no semblance of an older brother's demeanor.
This provoked the Qin Family's anger, and one of them picked up chopsticks and tapped his head a few times.
However, Lian Yun felt somewhat relieved at that moment. To be honest, he didn't really want to travel with Lin Xiaoyao. It wasn't that he disliked him; in fact, he had always felt an inexplicable affinity towards Lin Xiaoyao.
He simply preferred to act alone. For instance, in some extremely dangerous situations, he didn't want Lin Xiaoyao to know and worry about him.
Because he also understood that if Lin Xiaoyao were to find out he was in trouble, this seemingly carefree cousin would undoubtedly rush to rescue him at any cost.
