The long-awaited embrace was still cherished by Lian Yun, who held her mother tightly while nodding at Lian Cheng. "Father."
"Good!" Lian Cheng simply smiled, his demeanor honest and straightforward.
"Are you really Uncle Yun's true form? You look just like your clone!" A chubby toddler, just over a year old, tugged at Lian Yun's pant leg, speaking in a babyish voice.
This boy was Lin Feiyu's eldest son, Lin Jiao, and Lian Yun's nephew. The customary greetings had long been exchanged, and he had received plenty of guidance from Lian Yun, making him almost like a half-disciple. Thus, Lian Yun felt no sense of estrangement.
With a gentle smile, she picked up the boy and said, "You're about to see your Great-Grandmother! Are you excited?"
The boy suddenly tensed up, unable to hide his fear. "I really want to see Great-Grandmother, but I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, dear. Your Great-Grandmother isn't as strict as your grandfather and your fathers. She's very kind! Just ask Aunt Ling if you don't believe me."
"Cough cough cough~~" Lin's three uncles couldn't help but cough at that.
It seemed that Grandma's kindness was only directed toward the two of you.
"Mom~~"
As soon as Grandma appeared, Lin Beiyan rushed over and couldn't hold back her tears. Grandma immediately embraced her daughter tightly, repeating "good" three times.
The men of the Lin Clan thought to themselves, "Well! At least our sister (aunt) counts as one."
However, Grandma indeed showed great kindness as she held Lin Jiao and playfully teased the other four great-grandsons. Her affectionate demeanor left the men of the Lin Clan wide-eyed in surprise, while the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought, "Thank goodness Grandma didn't mind that there are no girls among the five boys."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin's Three Uncles were eager to welcome Grandma back to Lin City Fortress.
However, neither Grandma nor Lian Yun had any intention of leaving, and Lian Yun directly urged Lin Xiaoyao, "Brother, hurry and bring Lin Nan over."
In the four years that had passed, Lin Nan and Mu Realm had already reached the Peak Emperor Realm. Yet, they were not content with mediocrity; instead, they had been accumulating strength and were recently planning to break through to the unparalleled Emperor Realm, which is why they were currently in seclusion.
Although Grandma's arrival and Lian Yun's marriage were significant events that warranted Lin Nan's presence, both Lin Nan and Huang hesitated to speak up due to personal concerns about their future.
Once Grandma understood the situation, she also wanted to reassure Lin Nan to focus on his breakthrough.
However, Lin Xiaoyao smiled mysteriously at Lin Nan and Huang, saying, "Aunt, the person who is about to arrive—if Lin Nan cannot meet him right away, it might be a regret for life!"
Lin Nan and Huang both knew Lian Yun's character; they understood that she was not someone who would take things lightly. Coupled with Lin Xiaoyao's words, they decided not to refuse any longer but were left even more puzzled.
Lin Feiyu directly pulled Lian Yun closer and asked, "Yun Di, with Grandma coming and your marriage on the horizon, isn't this double happiness? Is there some important person coming that makes Grandma wait?"
"Big Brother, don't ask now; you'll find out soon enough," Lian Yun replied with a mysterious smile.
Thus, the members of the Lin Clan could only wait impatiently.
After some time, a child even younger than Lin Jiao appeared at the Teleportation Array. However, he exuded an extraordinary aura that was far from ordinary for a Half Emperor.
In an instant, several Half Emperors appeared in the sky above, one of whom was the only Empress, Summer Snow.
The young child bowed respectfully into the air and said, "I am Lin Jin. I have just arrived; I hope all fellow friends will take care of me in the future."
Thump, thump~~
Lin Dong, Lin Xi, Lin Nan, Lin Beiyan, Lin City, and the three daughters-in-law of the Huang, Qin, and Xiao families all knelt on the ground simultaneously.
"Father?" The eight of them exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.
Among the six sons, only Lin Feiyu and Lin Wuji had met their grandfather before, but they were so young at the time that they hardly remembered him. Now, seeing their parents kneeling, they hurriedly brought their wives and children down to kneel as well, yet they couldn't bring themselves to utter the words "grandfather."
Firstly, this person had barely existed in their lives; secondly, Lin Jin's current state was simply too juvenile.
After a few Half Emperors nodded, they vanished into thin air. Lin Jin retracted most of his aura and waved his hand to lift everyone up. Then he smiled gently and said in a steady voice, "Everyone rise! Today we will hold a wedding for Yun'er; other matters can wait until tomorrow."
His tone and demeanor were unmistakably that of their father. Lin's three uncles and Lin Beiyan were all in tears, nodding their heads but unable to speak.
Thus, this group consisting of a Half Emperor, several Peerless Monarchs, and many top-tier High Emperors flew toward the Lin City Fortress. Along the way, Lin Beiyan gave Lian Yun a hard knock on the head and angrily said, "Since you knew your grandfather could come back to life, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lin's three uncles also turned back to glare at her.
Lian Yun scratched her head slightly aggrieved and replied, "Grandma wouldn't allow it?"
"I would?" Grandma was in an unusually good mood and didn’t come to her granddaughter's defense; instead, she teased her a bit.
As a result, Lian Yun was met with four even angrier gazes. In a hurry, she said, "Xiaoyao Ge knew too! Why didn’t you ask him~"
"Yun Di, that's not fair! You clearly told me not to tell Father and the others so they wouldn't be distracted!"
The words echoed the personality of Lian Yun, as if she had been completely betrayed.
The family laughed joyfully together, but the entire Yin-Yang City and the Twelve Cities were shaken to their core.
Several Peerless Monarchs were one thing, but now suddenly there was a Demigod Expert appearing. Just how far was the Lin Clan planning to go?
This was the sentiment shared by nearly all factions within the Twelve Cities.
However, one faction was overjoyed: Yaochi. They did not mind taking Lin City as their base; they only cared about the strength of the Lin Clan, and the stronger, the better. Naturally, they were delighted.
Even before Lian Yun's wedding had begun, Zhuang Wuxue had already brought a lavish gift in advance to congratulate her.
For the Lin Clan, Lin Jin's appearance was more important than anything else, but under Lin Jin's wishes, they prioritized Lian Yun's wedding.
Thus, Lin City Fortress was bustling with activity, as Lin Jin was a Half Emperor. It was easy to imagine that besides the Huaxia Four Cities, major powers from the other eight cities would come to celebrate.
Meanwhile, Lian Yun was the busiest of all. First, he went to Xianjian Sect to bring Xiao Jun over to be his best man alongside Lin Nan, while his brotherhood consisted of Lin Feiyu and others.
Then Lian Yun had to wash up, get dressed, and even apply makeup while also needing to remember various etiquette details.
