BXBX NOVEL Chapter 200 - 200 Yun Family of Linxian City
Ning Yue turned her head, asking Huang Qingling.
Huang Qingling directly replied:
“I’ve heard some things about Luo Luo from Lin Jing.”
“That girl Luo Luo…”
Seeing Huang Qingling intended to continue, Lin Jing hastily interjected, saying:
“Previously, didn’t I take Luo Luo to meet Elder Yu?”
“Qingling, my fellow Daoist, is acquainted with Elder Yu, and it was during a gathering that we chanced to mention Luo Luo.”
Ning Yue thought for a moment, then spoke:
“You’re talking about the Elder Yu from Yuebaolou, right?”
“Yes…”
Lin Jing nodded.
“No wonder…”
Ning Yue opened with a smile, saying:
“Luo Luo also told me about this matter…”
“Indeed, that little girl Luo Luo is quite endearing.”
Lin Jing said with a smile.
Seeing the change of subject was very successful, Lin Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason Lin Jing did so was that this matter was related to Liu Yiyuan.
To avoid bringing up Liu Yiyuan and reminding Ning Yue of those past events, Lin Jing had interrupted Huang Qingling.
And Huang Qingling, seemingly aware of Lin Jing’s intentions, tactfully did not continue.
Speaking of Liu Yiyuan, Lin Jing had not seen him since that last incident.
He seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.
By contrast, Wu Cai Immortal, along with the other members of the Liu Clan, had ventured a few times into the Demon Race Secret Realm.
This was something Huang Qingling had told him.
However, now Elder Bai and Elder Yu were here.
So it seemed that Liu Yiyuan wouldn’t dare to make any more moves.
For this reason, Lin Jing hadn’t made any further inquiries into the Liu Clan.
As long as Liu Yiyuan wasn’t thinking of confronting him, Lin Jing was not inclined to provoke him for the time being.
Then, Lin Jing gathered his thoughts and once again shifted the conversation:
“Oh right…”
“Fellow Daoist Ning, where are Brother Wei and Brother Yan? Have they arrived?”
“I haven’t seen them in a long time, and I wonder how they are doing.”
The Brother Wei and Brother Yan that Lin Jing referred to were naturally Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong.
They had left with Ning Yue and to date, there had been no word from either of them, leaving their current status a mystery.
Ning Yue responded:
“Zhengqing and Yan Xiong, they initially escorted me back to Linxian City.”
“Then, with their help, I managed to overcome various obstacles to meet with the family ancestor and gained the ancestor’s support.”
“After seeing me settle my position in the family, they left…”
“The two said they wanted to make their way in other places.”
“Until now, I’ve had no news from either of them.”
“So I also don’t know where they have gone.”
“I see…”
The opening of the Demon Race Secret Realm had come, and Lin Jing couldn’t help feeling regretful that Wei Zhengqing and the others hadn’t come.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
“Young Master Li, your ordered dishes have arrived.”
Li Tangyu then spoke:
“Come in…”
Following that, the door opened and several servants entered the private room, carrying trays.
The trays held a variety of exquisite dishes.
The servants set the fine delicacies on the table.
Then, the leading servant spoke to Li Tangyu:
“Young Master Li, the dishes you ordered are all served, please enjoy.”
After speaking, the servants then left the private room.
“Come on…”
Li Tangyu stood up, addressing everyone:
“The dishes are ready, please help yourselves!”
As Li Tangyu’s words fell, the banquet officially began…
After the wine had passed around three times, Li Tangyu spoke again, addressing Ning Yue:
“Miss Ning…”
“Does your Ning Family have plans to relocate to Nanshan Immortal City?”
Ning Yue shook her head and said,
“Our visit this time is just to deal with some matters. As for moving the entire clan, we currently have no such plans.”
Li Tangyu nodded, and then continued to ask,
“Right, Miss Ning…”
“Today, when your Ning Family’s ancestor and my grandfather were chatting, I passed by and overheard some things…”
“Are you looking for an expert in Spirit Plant cultivation?”
Ning Yue nodded and replied,
“Yes.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing set down his chopsticks and looked at Ning Yue.
Although Lin Jing was not an expert in Spirit Plant cultivation,
he had the System Space at his disposal. In the System Space, even damaged Spirit Plants could be restored. What Spirit Plant then wouldn’t thrive under his care?
In that regard…
Lin Jing was actually that expert in Spirit Plant cultivation.
Li Tangyu watched Ning Yue and continued to ask,
“As far as I know, your Ning Family, being a family of Alchemy Dao, should also be experts in Spirit Plant cultivation, right?”
“If even you are seeking such a remarkable person, could it be that you’ve encountered some trouble that even your Ning Family cannot resolve?”
Ning Yue furrowed her brows, thought for a moment with her head down, and then spoke,
“Indeed, we have run into some trouble…”
Seeing Ning Yue’s expression, Lin Jing guessed that the trouble must be significant, so he asked,
“Fellow Daoist Ning, what trouble has your family encountered? Can you share some details?”
“Maybe we can also think of some ways to help…”
Ning Yue looked up at Lin Jing, whose eyes were full of concern.
At that moment, Ning Yue thought back to when the Demonic Beasts raged and the Flame Poison Centipede had been just inches away…
A warmth filled her heart, and she sighed lightly,
“Ah…”
“Although not many people know about this matter, it’s not a secret either.”
“There’s no harm in telling you about it…”
Everyone looked at Ning Yue, waiting for her to speak.
“Do you know about the Yun Family from Linxian City?”
Ning Yue began, then looked at the group.
At that moment, Li Tangyu said,
“The Yun Family…”
“Of course, we know…”
“The Yun Family is Linxian City’s largest clan, boasting three Golden Core Immortals amongst them, with the Yun Family’s ancestor himself being at the peak of Golden Core cultivation.”
“Moreover, there are rumors that the Yun Family’s ancestor has surpassed the peak of Golden Core and reached Half-step Nascent Soul Realm…”
“It’s just that no one knows whether this rumor is true or false.”
“And also…”
“The Yun Family has close ties with Nanming Immortal Sect, and that Yun Family’s ancestor is an honorary elder of the sect.”
After hearing this, Ning Yue nodded.
“Li Daoist Friend’s words are correct; the reality is indeed so.”
“Could it be that the problem your Ning Family is facing has something to do with the Yun Family?”
Li Tangyu asked with knit brows, knowing that if it were related to the Yun Family, the situation could be quite serious.
“That’s right…” Ning Yue replied.
Li Tangyu was very puzzled and inquired,
“Your Ning Family has also been in Linxian City for quite some time, how could you suddenly provoke the Yun Family?”
At this point, Ning Yue’s expression became serious, clearly holding back anger:
“Misfortune has befallen our household…”
“Someone wishes to vie for the position of the family head, attempting to bring disaster into our midst by borrowing outsiders’ strength to seize the title.”
“So that’s the situation…”
Li Tangyu’s frown deepened, clearly aware of the entanglement with the Yun Family, and how troublesome it was.
“Can you elaborate on that?” Lin Jing chimed in at this point.
Li Tangyu also echoed,
“Miss Ning, please clarify if you could. Knowing the specifics, we might be able to help you come up with some strategies…”
“Alright…”
Then, Ning Yue began to tell her story.
“This matter has to start with my return to the clan…”
