Lin Xuan looked at the black holy token in the array formation in the courtyard and shook his head, “The manager of the Treasure Pavilion told me that this was given to me and did not cost anything.”
Black Crow revealed a meaningful smile. “Looks like this Treasure Pavilion has great plans.”
The Suanni asked curiously, “The Lin family’s Saint Child has just arrived in the Central Yan Continent. What’s the purpose? Didn’t the rumors outside say that the Lin family came from a desolate place and has always looked down on us?”
Wasn’t that so? How long had they stayed in the Central Yan Continent? How many bad looks had they given?
“What can they want from me?”
The few people in the courtyard looked at Black Crow and saw him shrug his shoulders, “How would I know? But what’s the reason for that Treasure Pavilion to treat your Lin family’s Saint Child nicely? They would give this rare treasure to you for no reason.”
“But your name spread from the Northern Azure Continent to the Central Yan Continent?”
Lin Xuan shook his head obediently. However, what was the Treasure Pavilion after?
“So what? I can’t understand it now. Since his Treasure Pavilion wants me, I’ll wait for him to make a move. In that case, I can only wait!”
The Great Abyss Master said indifferently, “If there’s a goal, there’ll be a move. Just wait!”
At this moment, Ancestor Qingtian said, “That elder invited us to a banquet. What should we do now?”
Lin Feng echoed, “We’re unknown to everyone, not to mention that we’ve suffered so many cold gazes. Why would an elder of the Shangheng family want to see us?”
The few elders of the Lin family were clearly concerned about this banquet. They looked at each other and immediately said, “Aren’t we dressed too casually now? Let’s change into Daoist robes!”
The Great Abyss Master looked coldly at the Lin family. It was obvious that he looked down on their actions.
He said in disdain, “He’s only an elder of the Shangheng family. It’s not like the Shangheng family head wants to see you!”
“I’m the dignified Great Abyss Master, but you guys have never treated me so seriously. This is only a small family, and it’s not worth mentioning.”
After saying that, he snorted, “I think you’re really used to staying in a small place like the Northern Azure Continent. Your horizons are not high.”
Lin Xuan snorted at the Great Abyss Master’s ridicule and said, “The Northern Azure Continent is a small place, but Great Abyss Master, weren’t you trapped in this small place for tens of thousands of years?”
“I only saved you with a slash. Looks like you’ve almost forgotten, Great Abyss Master!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
Black Crow did not say anything. He left surrounded by black fog and did not make any sound.
The Great Abyss Master was very angry from embarrassment. He flicked his sleeve at Lin Xuan and left without looking back.
The Suanni hurriedly chased after him and left.
The remaining four Lin family members looked at each other.
After a long time, Lin Qingtian still said to Lin Xuan, “This… After all, he’s the Great Abyss Master, Xuan’er…”
In the past, when they were enemies, it was fine no matter how arrogant they were. However, now that they had been on the same boat, it was not as compared to this. They should still leave some face for others.
Lin Xuan smiled and said to Ancestor Qingtian, “Ancestor, don’t worry. I naturally know what I’m saying.”
When the sun slowly set in the west, a disciple of the Shangheng family knocked on the door. “Young Master Lin? Our elder invites you.”
The four people from the Lin family followed the Shangheng family disciple through a garden and a long corridor before arriving at a dignified courtyard.
“Please come over. Our elders are already waiting for you.”
When they walked into the courtyard, a servant walked over. He said respectfully to the few of them and led the Lin family forward until they came to a hall that looked a little jeweled.
“Elders of the Lin family!” A white-haired cultivator walked slowly towards the Lin family. He cupped his hands at the Lin family and the smile on his face looked very sincere.
Lin Xuan and the others hurriedly returned the greeting.
“Everyone, this is your first time here. I wonder if our Shangheng family has treated you well?”
Lin Qingtian hurriedly replied, “Very considerate. Thank you for your hospitality.”
The elder waved his hand with a smile and brought the Lin family members to their seats.
Lin Xuan just watched and did not speak. At this moment, he was like an ordinary junior. He would do whatever the ancestors said.
He looked coldly at the toast between the Shangheng family’s elder and the Lin family’s ancestors. When they were drunk, they even called each other brothers, as if they regretted not meeting earlier.
At this moment, Lin Xuan knew that the Shangheng family must have some motive for this trip.
The people present were all cultivators with high cultivation levels, especially this elder of the Shangheng family. Even if it was a thousand-year-old wine, it could not intoxicate cultivators.
In this toast, they were only testing each other.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Xuan touched his stomach and felt that this meal was almost over.
Although they were all rare spiritual food, if they continued to eat, the cultivator’s stomach would not be able to take it.
At this moment, the elder of the Shangheng family finally revealed the purpose of inviting them.
“I heard that the manager of the Treasure Pavilion casually gave a holy token to Saint Child Lin today? Behind that Treasure Pavilion is the number one family in the Profound Sky Land.”
“They don’t care about ordinary people. Even in the Central Yan Continent, our Shangheng family can be considered to have some status. However, the Treasure Pavilion doesn’t always give our Shangheng family face.”
“When the Lin family’s Saint Child went today, he entered the eyes of the Treasure Pavilion!” After saying that, he sighed, as if he was very emotional.
At this moment, Lin Qingtian happened to reveal a shocked expression. He widened his eyes and said to the elder of the Shangheng family, “I don’t know about this. It was Lin Feng who accompanied the juniors to take a look. I don’t know how he went to the Treasure Pavilion.”
Everyone’s gazes gathered on Lin Feng. Lin Feng calmly put down his chopsticks and said very innocently, “When we saw that the Treasure Pavilion was built in midair, we immediately became curious.”
“We went to the Treasure Pavilion and asked to come back. When we walked to the door of the Treasure Pavilion, the manager gave us this black wooden token.”
“We wanted to give him spirit stones, but he didn’t accept them.”
“Since we can’t reject it again and again, we accepted it.” After Lin Feng finished speaking, he looked at Elder Shangheng with a hesitant gaze and asked, “Is there a problem?”
Elder Shangheng hurriedly shook his head, “There’s no problem. It’s just that I heard that the holy token was created by the great cultivator Flowing Light. It’s an extraordinary item.”
“This item is abnormally precious. I thought that the Treasure Pavilion needed your help with something, so they gave this to you. To give such a treasure, they probably require a huge help!”
