CHAPTER 2123: CHAPTER 2122: FAREWELL, LIN TIANCE

That is a second-order Spirit Sword, even Earth Realm martial artists covet it somewhat.

However, it is Lin Dong’s ’battle gain’, so naturally, no one dares to snatch it from him.

At this moment, Lin Dong carefully put away the second-order Spirit Sword.

Afterwards, he returned the Dragon Chant Sword he was holding to Long Ban.

"Long Ban, thank you." Lin Dong expressed his gratitude as he returned the sword.

Long Ban hurriedly said: "Big brother, it’s I who should be thanking you."

At this moment, he directly called Lin Dong ’big brother’.

Though Lin Dong’s strength is weaker than his, being just a martial artist of the Grandmaster First Stage, Long Ban recognized him as an elder brother in his heart.

Earlier, Lin Dong stood up for him, and he is naturally grateful.

Just then, someone else came to pay a visit.

"Lin Tiance from the Lin family, here to meet the Qin Family Patriarch!"

Hearing this voice, Lin Dong’s expression slightly changed, unexpectedly meeting Lin Tiance here under another identity.

The Qin Family Patriarch had certainly heard of this Lin Tiance.

He nodded softly and spoke: "Invite the Qilin’s Son of the Lin family in!"

The Qin Family Patriarch had already descended from the sky and stood on the main platform of the ancestral hall, with one hand behind his back, everyone else standing beneath him.

Even Qin Feng stood respectfully beside him at this moment.

After receiving permission from the Qin Family Patriarch, Lin Tiance entered.

Apart from him, there was also an expert from the Lin family beside him, a martial artist of the level-eight Grandmaster.

At this time, Lin Tiance was in high spirits; his strength had broken through to become a Heavenly Realm martial artist, and he had actually reached the level of Second Stage Grandmaster.

From Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist to Second Stage Grandmaster martial artist, it only took a few months, a terrifying speed.

Of course, Lin Dong could also see that his foundation was unstable.

Such a breakthrough was achieved through a special secret method. Strength obtained in such a manner would make his future Martial Arts path very difficult.

Essentially, he had bid farewell to the hope of breaking through to become a Heavenly Realm martial artist!

Upon entering, he immediately paid respects to the Qin Family Patriarch.

"Lin Tiance of the Lin family, salutes the Qin Family Patriarch, the elders of the Qin family, and Lord Qin Feng..."

He appeared very humble.

The Qin Family Patriarch glanced at him and asked: "Is the health of the Old Matriarch of the Lin family good?"

"Grandma’s health has always been quite good." Lin Tiance replied.

The Qin Family Patriarch nodded, "She originally had the opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Realm martial artist, but was burdened by the mundane world."

The Old Matriarch of the Lin family had strong Martial Arts talent; when she was young, she was identified by Kunlun as having the potential to break through to the Heavenly Realm martial artist.

Unfortunately, later on, she was heavily burdened by the mundane world, preventing her from advancing.

Especially the death of the Old Master of the Lin family back then dealt a large blow to her spirit, leading her to lose that inner drive.

Therefore, in this life, breaking through to a Heavenly Realm martial artist would be nearly impossible for her.

As for the Lin Tiance before him, the Qin Family Patriarch only took one look to understand him thoroughly.

Although he is called the Qilin’s Son of the Lin family, in his eyes, he could never set foot in the realm of the Heavenly Realm martial artist, incomparable to the Qin family’s Qilin’s Son, Qin Feng.

Even now, the Qin Family Patriarch found their son-in-law, Dong Lin, even more promising!

"Young people, feel free..." After these words to him, the Qin Family Patriarch no longer spoke much with him.

He went to the main seat, announcing, "The Qin family’s banquet, officially begins."

After he announced the start of the family feast and sat down, only then did the others sit down one after another.

Lin Dong, along with Qin Yitian, was arranged at the first table of the younger generation.

This table was typically where Xiao Sisi and others sat.

But this time at the family feast, Xiao Sisi was clearly pushed aside!

Lin Tiance, Xiao Huang, and Long Ban were also arranged to sit at this table, alongside several young talents from the Hidden Clan.

All around two to thirty years old!

Lin Tiance seemed to already know Xiao Huang and Long Ban and greeted them before unable to help but casting a glance at Lin Dong.

Then, curiously asked: "Is this the boyfriend of Miss Qin Yitian?"

Xiao Huang, beside him, introduced Lin Tiance, "Tiance, you came a bit late earlier, so you didn’t see how impressive Mr. Dong Lin is..."

With that, he recounted the fight between Lin Dong and Tang Que to Lin Tiance.

Lin Tiance was extremely surprised and said, "Brother Dong Lin could actually win against Young Master Tang Que by suppressing his realm to the Third Stage Grandmaster with only Initial Stage strength of the First Stage Grandmaster!"

"That Young Master Tang Que, but having the ability to fight across levels."

He presumed he couldn’t achieve that!

Doesn’t this mean that Qin Yitian’s boyfriend could defeat him with a single sword stroke?

Previously, he somewhat underestimated the opponent, now, where would he dare to harbor such thoughts.

Lin Dong told Lin Tiance indifferently, "Just lucky."

"Brother Dong, let’s get acquainted, I am Lin Tiance of the Lin family from the Capital City." Lin Tiance quickly said.

Evidently, he wanted to befriend Lin Dong.

Lin Dong casually replied, "The Qilin’s Son of the Lin family, Lin Tiance, I’ve heard about you. I heard you’re getting married in a few days?"

"Yes, the wedding is in five days. When the time comes, I humbly invite Brother Dong and Miss Yitian to grace us with your presence at Tiance’s wedding." Lin Tiance humbly said.

"I will certainly attend your wedding!" Lin Dong stated.

"Haha, that’s very much appreciated, Brother Dong." Lin Tiance thought that this Qin family son-in-law ’Dong Lin’ was giving him face, which is why he said such things.

He would never imagine that the person in front of him would be his nightmare, Lin Dong.

If he knew Lin Dong was still alive and said he would certainly attend his wedding, he might never smile again.

Lin Dong had to attend his wedding, not to witness his happiness with Qiao Xue, to congratulate him.

But to demand justice that day!

Revenge for his parents, himself!

"Brother Dong, I toast to you, very pleased to meet such a talented individual as you. In the future, let’s learn more from each other. We are all the prides of the Hidden Clan of the Dragon Country, the future of Dragon Country will be in our hands." said Lin Tiance as he raised his cup to toast Lin Dong.

Lin Dong waved slightly and said, "I’m not interested in power, I only want to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, to find the answers in my heart. To protect those I need to protect!"

After saying this, he drank the whole cup himself.

He had no choice, as this was a family feast of the Qin family, if he acted too conspicuously, it would naturally arouse suspicion from others.

So, he only said this much, still drinking the cup of wine in his hand.

Lin Tiance felt somewhat displeased at this.

However, he did not show it, hiding it well.

During this process, Qin Feng kept observing him.

"Why does Dong Lin show hostility towards Lin Tiance? Could it be, he truly has a connection with Master Lin?" Qin Feng secretly thought to himself.

Recalling the previous technique Lin Dong used, the ’Nine Needles of Ice and Fire’, he once again began to doubt the identity of his brother-in-law ’Dong Lin’.

Even until now, he hadn’t linked ’Dong Lin’ with Lin Dong.

Because he never would have thought that someone who ’died’ could still be alive.

Just then, another voice sounded from outside.

"The Son of Heaven from the Tian family, here to see the Qin Family Patriarch!"
