C448 The Lin Family's Prodigal Son-in-law Who Returned
As for the Puyang's family, Bai Family, and Fang Family who were originally ranked in the top three, only the Puyang's family was able to suppress the Lin Family because of the background of their family.
From a certain point of view, the Bai Clan and the Fang Clan now needed to look into the eyes of the Lin Clan.
With the rise of his family's position, the Lin Family's Patriarch, Lin Chongtian, was now stomping his feet on the ground of Evergreen Town.
The Lin Family clansmen were exceptionally proud of this fact as well. As they walked through the town, they couldn't help but raise their heads and raise their chests, feeling much more confident than before.
However, today, the Lin Family Mansion in the town had a strange atmosphere.
The reason was simple, the Lin Family's son-in-law, Chu Yan, had returned.
His son-in-law Chu Yan was a disciple of the Shattered Star Pavilion, and from his identity, he could also be considered a member of the Lin Family.
Thus, from a logical standpoint, when Chu Yan returned, the Lin Family would definitely warmly welcome him.
Not only do we have to welcome them, the entire clan, but we also have to be so lively that the entire Evergreen Town will know: Our Lin Clan's disciples have returned!
But the Lin Clan did not do so.
Today, the Lin Family Mansion in the town was even quieter than before, as if someone was deliberately suppressing the news.
And at that moment, Chu Yan was seated in the Lin Family's guest hall.
The current him, was no longer the son-in-law that no one thought highly of when he had just arrived here, but a disciple of the Shattered Star Pavilion. Furthermore, he was a disciple who broke the record of the Hundred Clan Disciple Ceremony, and was even a peak 1st level of Pulse Condensation Stage cultivator!
His cultivation level, was already higher than the Lin Family's Patriarch, Lin Chongtian.
All of this happened in less than a year.
Chu Yan was currently seated in the main seat of the guest hall, with Lin Chongtian and the Great Clan Elder Lin Xiao personally taking the seats to accompany him.
However, Lin Chongtian and Lin Xiao's faces were filled with awkwardness and unease, not enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
The reason was simple; they felt guilty towards Chu Yan.
At that time, when Chu Yan had just arrived at the Lin Family and displayed his talent in cultivation, they naturally thought that he had picked up a treasure, and hoped to cultivate him to become a member of the Lin Family.
However, during the time of the Evergreen Town competition, Chu Yan's meridians had been completely shattered. In the eyes of an outsider, there was no possibility of his meridians ever advancing even an inch.
Although Lin Miaoran had made all kinds of difficult demands, in the end, the Lin Family still made the same choice as the Profound Moon Sect: give up on Chu Yan.
A person without talent in cultivation was already not fit to be a disciple of the Lin Family or the sect, Lin Miaoran.
Therefore, at that time, Lin Chongtian had even thought of letting Chu Yan leave the Lin Family.
But who would have thought that Chu Yan actually completed a shocking transformation afterwards?
After Chu Yan entered the Shattered Star Pavilion, the Lin Family also used special methods to understand the cultivation situation of Chu Yan.
When news of Chu Yan fighting for Spirit Apostle Ranking Competition, killing the ten great villains of Southern Yun, and fighting against the beast tide by himself spread out, the hearts of the people of the Lin Family were not filled with pride and complacency, but instead, they became even more terrified.
They were worried that Chu Yan might resent the Lin Family's decision at that time, and even retaliate.
A cultivator who had only used ten months of time to level up from the small success stage of 1st level of Pulse Condensation Stage to the Great Perfection Stage was definitely not someone the Lin Family could stop.
Even if he could use Lin Miaoran's name to make the other party fear him, Lin Miaoran was still far away in the Profound Moon Sect. Although he could protect the Lin Family for a while, he could not protect the Lin Family for the rest of his life.
If Chu Yan was really going to take revenge, then even if Lin Miaoran did not care about the sect's obstruction and rush back, the Lin Family members' corpses would have turned cold by then.
Therefore, People of Lin Family had very complicated feelings towards Chu Yan.
He hoped that the other party would become stronger so that the Lin Clan would be able to make use of his reputation and expand further. At the same time, he was worried that the other party would be too powerful, so the Lin Clan wouldn't be able to suppress him.
With such a conflicted mood, the People of Lin Family spent ten months.
Even though they were very wary of Chu Yan, they knew that he was still far away from them and would not return easily. So from the start, the feeling they had towards him wasn't that strong, it was just that sometimes it would ring in the middle of the night and they would feel a chill on their backs.
But today, without anyone knowing, Chu Yan had suddenly returned.
This caught everyone off guard.
When Lin Chongtian and Lin Xiao, father and son, heard the news and rushed out, they saw worry and panic in each other's eyes.
He should have been cultivating in the Shattered Star Pavilion at this time, what was he planning to do by suddenly appearing here?
This question, was like a sword hanging above their heads, causing Lin Chongtian and Lin Xiao to not be able to sit still, like a needle on their back.
They wanted to ask, but dared not.
An extremely uncomfortable and depressing atmosphere permeated the living room.
In the end, it was Chu Yan who spoke first: "Are you worried that because of the previous matter, I might have a grudge against the Lin Family?"
He never thought that Chu Yan would suddenly strike a nerve in his heart. Moreover, it was so straightforward, speaking about it without any foreshadowing. Both Lin Chongtian and Lin Xiao's faces immediately revealed incomparable awkwardness.
When you added up Lin Chongtian and Lin Chongtian's age, they were six or seven times older than him, but at that moment, their faces were completely red, like children who had committed a mistake in front of their elders.
"We, we did not … "Nephew Chu, you're overthinking it …" Lin Chongtian stuttered as he explained.
But he also knew how much he wanted to cover up his current explanation.
At this time, Lin Chongtian felt his scalp go numb, and did not dare to look straight at Chu Yan. He could only hope that there was a crack in the ground that would allow him to burrow into it.
"There's no need to explain. The thoughts in your hearts are already written all over your faces." Chu Yan waved his hand.
At that time, the Lin Family's attitude towards him had indeed made Chu Yan's heart turn cold.
But Chu Yan would not resent the Lin Family to the point of wanting to kill their entire family.
If it wasn't for the Lin Clan, he wouldn't have gotten the chance to enter the immortal gate.
At that time, the Lin Clan had made the wrong choice.
Any family would have made the wrong choice, but unfortunately, this choice fell on Chu Yan.
Hearing Chu Yan's words, Lin Chongtian and Lin Xiao's faces became even more unsettled.
They could be considered famous figures in the Evergreen Town, and had never seen them before. Hence, they had long since thought that they were good at cultivating their Qi, and would not easily show their emotions on their faces.
But who would have known that today, in front of this junior, Chu Yan, it would actually be seen through in an instant.
At that time, all of you only made the choice that you felt was correct. Unfortunately, that choice was wrong, but before that happens, no one will predict the outcome, so you don't have to blame yourselves, and you don't need to worry. I don't hate you, but it is just possible that the favor you received me back then will be erased from this matter. Chu Yan said indifferently.
Hearing these words, the hearts of Lin Chongtian and Lin Xiao instantly sunk to the bottom.
