After Lin Yun ran away, the letter he left behind only said that he was out traveling, but did not mention where he went. The Lin family has been looking for him, but there is no news at all. They never thought that he would run to Beizhou.
Lin Qingshuang had never given up the idea of entering the Suye Fairy Mountain. After the failure of her 18th birthday party, she still made a fuss at home. Lin Zhongtian had no way to deal with her, so he used a lot of connections and spent a lot of resources. It took more than a year, but he finally got her in.
At the same time, the Lin family finally officially announced Lin Qingshuang's identity as a young lady. Unless otherwise specified, she would be the next head of the family.
Because of this incident, Lin Shushu, the ninth eldest daughter of the Lin family, has always felt that Lin Chongtian, as a family member, is not devoted enough to Lin Yunxun and is too selfish.
He only knew to consider Lin Qingshuang. Her child had been missing for a long time, and it was even more dangerous for an alchemist to be outside. One step short would result in the death of the child. If Lin Zhongtian had only 20% faith in Lin Qingshuang, he would not have been found yet.
She was also very talented, and when she was young she had a shot at becoming the head of the family, but she failed and was marginalized, so she only ranked ninth among the elders. Her actual ability was far more than that.
He had endured it for so many years, but now he didn't want to endure it anymore because of the child's matter. Someone at home led people to oppose Lin Zhongtian, making the Lin family uneasy during this period. There was a lot of trouble, and it hasn't stopped yet.
But Lin Qingshuang didn't care about that. Whether Lin Yunyu lived or died had nothing to do with her. She had never had any bad luck since she was born, except for the birthday party. But in the end, it was as she wished, and she felt that there was nothing in this world that she couldn't get.
The abbot of Chu Sect in Suye Fairy Mountain had accepted a total of 10 disciples. The first two reached the Heavenly Rank very early, left the mountain after completing their studies and returned to their families, where they quickly secured the position of young masters. Now, apart from Lin Qingshuang, the only other disciple in the peak is his own son Chu Wei.
In addition to becoming a disciple, Lin Qingshuang's marriage is also a bargaining chip. After dealing with the useless waste of the Yin family, according to Lin Zhongtian's idea, it would be best to marry into the Chu family of Suye Fairy Mountain.
She and Chu Wei were of similar age and talent, so they were a perfect match. Moreover, once the Lin family had this connection with the Suye Immortal Mountain, it would be the undisputed leader of the aristocratic families, and Lin Qingshuang's future would be much smoother.
Lin Zhongtian’s plan was good, but Chu Wei’s attitude was indifferent.
I heard that he was thrown into the Demon Sealing Gorge by Emperor Chu Zong and had been in seclusion for a year, and he just came out recently. That is the most cruel special training ground in the Suye Immortal Mountain, and even those of the Heavenly Rank dare not enter easily.
When Lin Qingshuang saw him again on the day she became his apprentice, she felt that he had changed a lot.
At that time, he was a bit willful and arrogant, or even a bit reckless and childish, but after returning from there, not only did his spiritual power improve rapidly, but his entire temperament also changed, becoming calm and reserved.
Lin Qingshuang looked at him and called out "Senior Brother Chu" in a soft voice, but she found that he looked at her for a long time, as if it took him some time to recognize her.
"It's you," Chu Wei said, "Lin Qingshuang."
Chu Wei was covered in blood and had been silent for a long time since he came out of the Demon Sealing Gorge. He had a bad face towards his father. This was the first time he was seen speaking so kindly, even with a hint of smile on his face.
Lin Qingshuang was just happy for a short while before she heard him ask again in public: "Lin Qinghen... has he ever come back?"
Lin Qingshuang's smile froze on her face.
After he got married, the Lin family never mentioned this name again, as if he didn't exist.
How could Chu Wei still remember it!
"No," Lin Qingshuang gritted her teeth and said, "How many of those who went to Beizhou can come back?"
"Is there any news?"
"… No!"
If there wasn't this person in front of her, Lin Qingshuang's expression would have been even uglier.
In fact, Chu Wei just couldn't let him go after he came back, so he had to go to Beizhou to find someone, and then he threw him into the Demon Sealing Gorge.
Now that he is out, not only has he not forgotten it, he can't let it go.
The more he thought about this person, the more he felt something was wrong, as if he was the only one who knew how special Lin Qinghen was, and no one else had noticed. He had only said those few words, as if he had only taken one bite of a delicious meal before someone else took it away. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.
You shouldn't give up so easily, just get the person back.
Of course, it’s not too late now.
Chu Zong knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw him like this. He was also puzzled. It was said that Lin Qinghen did not have any special features. His family background was relatively good, but he was not treated well at home. Moreover, he had very poor talent and did not even have a face.
She and Lin Qingshuang were born in the same year, and somehow she caught his attention.
"Why go to Beizhou? Come back!" Chu Zongxun snorted coldly, "You just practice well, and in a few months, the Yin family will come out on their own."
Chu Wei: "Really?"
"If they still want to maintain the reputation of the family," Chu Zong said, "the spiritual world has always been a union of eight families. Although the Yin family has declined, the position is vacant. They are neither here nor there. Sooner or later, the problem will be solved."
This pattern has existed for a long time. In the past ten years or so, it has been called the "Seven Generations of Families", but in fact there is always a vacancy.
It has been such a long time, and the reason why it is brought up at this time is actually because of the change of leadership in the Spiritual Master Alliance.
The time of death of the old leader of the Spiritual Master Alliance is approaching. He has lived too long and his health has been poor. He will only live for another six months at most.
In his teaching, the eldest disciple has already been selected to take over the position of leader, and the other two who did not win the competition may not be able to stay in the old seat, and the other seats are likely to be replaced.
In addition to the allies, the alliance also has vice-presidents who do not belong to any force and whose spiritual power is not the highest, but who are highly respected and virtuous. They maintain the neutrality of the alliance and are not influenced by any force.
There are twenty elder seats, two from each mountain, one from each aristocratic family, and the remaining nine seats are floating. Among them are neutral cultivators who have not joined any force, as well as several powerful ones from the mountains and aristocratic families. The twenty elders participate in the decision-making of the alliance and have great prestige in the spirit world.
When the Yin family was strong, they held five floating seats, and the noble families and aristocratic families did not dare to interfere in the slightest. But after their decline, these five seats were divided up, thus maintaining stability for many years.
But now that the alliance is undergoing a blood transfusion, some veterans have left the floating seats, and some veterans with rich experience have been promoted to vice-leaders. If you do the math, at least three seats have been vacated, but who will get them remains undecided.
Before the old ally died, the mountains and the aristocratic families began to secretly fight for this seat, but no one was willing to submit to the other, and there was no result in continuing to fight like this, which would only lead to internal friction. In the end, it was Chu Cangchu Zongshi of Suye Xianshan who took the seat.
Of these three seats, one will go to the Mountain, one will go to the seven families, and each family will find a way to distribute them among themselves. The remaining seat should go to the "eighth family" that has been vacant for a long time.
"Although the Yin family is in decline, there are many new families rising in the spirit world. We should give everyone a chance," Chu Cang said, "Fair competition, whoever wins will go on."
Aristocratic families are recognized as first-rate forces in the spiritual world. If one manages to squeeze in, one will be able to bring honor to the family and ascend to a position of glory overnight.
This is the suggestion. On the surface, it seems selfless, but in fact, there is still selfishness.
He didn't really want to see the rise of new families, but in recent years, all major forces have been constantly cultivating their own supporters, and there are many second-rate forces that have already taken shape.
Especially in Suye Xianshan, if his men could win a seat in this aristocratic family, there would be endless benefits in the future. If something went wrong, just one seat would not cause any trouble, so he had to find support and would eventually come to him.
We can take this opportunity to pick out those who are outstanding and have potential in this world, and also win them over. It is a hundred benefits with no harm.
And how this eighth family is chosen, of course they are the ones who set the rules.
In order to save face, and also for the sake of his unfortunate son who had to go to Beizhou, it was reasonable to send a message to the Yin family.
Although he was in a bad state, he couldn't just skip it. At least he could save face on the surface and give others the qualification to participate.
"You can go to see him and wait here. I will tell him in the letter to invite Yin Jiuxiao, the young master of the Yin family, and his wife to come together," Chu Cang said. "At that time, in addition to the competition for the seat of the seven aristocratic families, there will also be competitions between the mountains and the seven aristocratic families for the two seats. The alliance will change, and there will be a lot of excitement. Some of them will be opportunities for you to show your face. If you have time to go to Beizhou, you might as well seize the time to practice well. Lin Qinghen suffered in Beizhou, and when he came out, he saw your ability and status. Is it necessary for you to go all the way to Beizhou, a place with no grass, to snatch him? I'm afraid he won't stay even if he cries and shouts."
In Chu Cang's eyes, Lin Qinghen was just a useless little plaything who was lucky enough to attract the attention of his son. If Chu Wei was interested, it would not be a big deal to get him to keep him by his side.
"As long as you win and don't embarrass me, there's nothing else to discuss."
Chu Wei thought about it and felt that this was reasonable.
Chu Wei's focus is on Lin Qinghen, but Chu Cang and the others' focus is on the Yin family.
Who in the entire spiritual world has not been afraid of the Yin family
Unexpectedly, the Yin family is now getting worse and worse in Beizhou. Last time, they could only swallow their anger even though they were stepped on by the Lin family. Now it is shameful not to come, and even more embarrassing to come. Seeing the former supreme being fall into the dust seems to be a great pleasure for them.
He couldn't wait to see such excitement.
There is no need to send someone specially to deliver the letter to Suye Fairy Mountain.
The noble families have special communication tools, similar to tokens, but it is very troublesome to activate this thing once. In the past, it was only used when informing of important matters. In the case of Beizhou, it can only transmit a few words at present.
The Yin family still keeps this thing and puts it in the ancestral hall. It has not been used for a long time. When the message from Su Ye Xian Shan came over, the people near the light and buzzing sound in the Yin family ancestral hall heard it, and soon many people gathered around.
Lin Qinghen was also nearby, listening there.
He stood at the front of the crowd, followed by the Yin family and Fu Qingping, who happened to come to discuss matters at this time.
The letter from Suyexianshan was intermittent and brief, but the details were still very clear.
However, when he heard that the young master and his wife of the Yin family were invited to come, he raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised. After listening to all these words, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Lin Qinghen soon heard the key point.
The alliance change still requires a lot of preparation, and if we really want to compete for the seat of the aristocratic family, many forces must also make plans and preparations. Besides, the old alliance leader is not dead yet, so there is no rush, and it is expected to be half a year later.
Six months is not a long time, but it is not a short time either.
After sending a letter from Su Ye Xian Shan, he did not expect that the Yin family would reply so quickly. Chu Cang was listening nearby, thinking that there must be some emotions on the other side, perhaps anxiety, confusion or anger, but he only received one word.
-"knew".
