Chapter 905: 772, the boss of the ninth level_1
"What do you mean you just saw me yesterday? Aren't you already..."
Lin Jingyue lifted her head, in her memory, Lin Dingtian had died hundreds of years ago.
Yet the brother before her claimed they had just met yesterday, what was going on?
Lin Dingtian smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? And what are you wearing? Where is your robe of immortality? At the gathering of the four great immortal realms yesterday, your disciple really surprised me."
A gathering of the four great immortal realms?
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyue suddenly remembered, this was something that happened over a thousand years ago, before her time among the Central Human Race.
Back then, each of the four great immortal realms had an immortal, and Lin Jingyue of the Northern Immortal Realm had not yet become the human race's emperor.
So the brother before her was the brother from a thousand years ago...
Could it be that the Ancestral Patriarch used some special method to bring her brother from a thousand years ago here as well?
Decades ago, she had been summoned here by a girl with golden hair, and now she was summoned once more, only the summoner and the place of summoning had changed.
Lin Jingyue sized up Gu Yuena, thinking to herself.
However, to have the opportunity to see her brother again through this chance was truly an unexpected joy.
Lin Jingyue smiled at Lin Dingtian once more, scrutinizing him seriously, missing him greatly after not seeing him for hundreds of years.
Gu Yuena glanced at the card in Di Tian's hand, then turned to look at the cards in the hands of Zi Ji and Wang Qiu'er, asking, "Who are yours?"
Zi Ji: "Immortal Lin Shuping."
Wang Qiu'er: "Immortal Lin Yuejiao."
Gu Yuena suddenly frowned, "Why do they all have the same surname Lin? It sounds odd."
Soon, the cards in Zi Ji's and Wang Qiu'er's hands also emitted light, and the gentle and elegant Lin Shuping, along with the willful and capricious Lin Yuejiao, appeared within this first layer of space.
Lin Jingyue, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly ran towards her two sisters.
"Second Sister!"
She cried as she burrowed into her second sister's embrace, holding her tightly like a child.
Lin Yuejiao, standing nearby, said with disdain, "Lin Jingyue, what are you putting on? Normally, you don't even bother with us, not even a greeting, and now you're crying and making a fuss in Second Sister's arms, trying to show off in front of me how close you are with her, right? I'm telling you, I won't be jealous!"
The second elder affectionately stroked Lin Jingyue's head, not asking why. Since childhood, the four siblings had been separated across the world, it was rare for them to see each other, and naturally, she missed them terribly.
"I warn you, Lin Jingyue, let go of Second Sister, you're overdoing it!"
Lin Yuejiao continued to voice her dissatisfaction from the side.
Lin Jingyue lifted her head, looked at Lin Yuejiao beside her, then suddenly opened her arms and plunged into her third sister's embrace.
"Third Sister! I missed you too!"
"You, you, you! What are you doing! Gross!"
Lin Yuejiao pushed Lin Jingyue away in disgust, only to find that she was holding on very tightly, her crying even louder, as if she really had been wronged.
But even if wronged, she should not cling to her—they had always been at odds since childhood, always fighting whenever they met.
Lin Jingyue felt very happy now. She had dreamt that she might get the chance to see her big brother, second sister, and third sister again.
On the Lin Yi Continent, when a new sovereign arrived, her big brother had fought to protect his three sisters, holding the new ruler at bay until he perished at the end.
Meanwhile, the second sister and third sister had passed away one after another. At that moment, Lin Jingyue had almost despaired.
With her big brother slain in battle, and her second and third sisters dying of old age, she was left alone and unsupported on the Lin Yi Continent. The companionship of more than three thousand years seemed like a distant dream. If her big brother, second sister, and third sister could come back to life, she swore she would no longer be temperamental and anger her big brother, no longer be willful and worry her second sister, and no longer behave childishly and argue with her third sister.
Apart from the Ancestral Patriarch, these three were the people she loved and cared for the most.
"Lin Jingyue! I warn you, let me go right now! Otherwise, I'm going to hit you!"
"Third Sister, scold me! I really want to hear you scold me again!"
Lin Jingyue cried out.
Lin Yuejiao's raised hand froze mid-air as she looked towards her older brother and second sister, only to see confusion filling their eyes as well.
"Has this brat eaten something wrong at the banquet yesterday?"
Lin Yuejiao wondered, but seeing Lin Jingyue crying so sorrowfully, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to push her younger sister away. Instead, she gently patted Lin Jingyue on the shoulder.
To see her crying so heartbreakingly was truly a first.
Had she shown this kind of submissive attitude before, they probably wouldn't have been fighting every day.
Lin Yi watched the scene from the outside, feeling suddenly complex, his eyes also becoming somewhat sore.
The deaths of the three indeed left him with regret, but seeing Lin Jingyue crying like that, he was genuinely heartbroken.
Because he was the only one present who could understand Lin Jingyue's feelings.
"But speaking of which, where is this place?"
Lin Dingtian surveyed the surroundings, realizing that it was an entirely white space.
Lin Shuping: "I don't know, I remember I went back to the south side right after the banquet ended, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself here."
"Where in the world is this? Damn it, Lin Jingyue, can you let go? You're choking me! And who are these people?"
Lin Yuejiao looked at Gu Yuena and the others curiously.
Gu Yuena was also staring blankly at the scene unfolding before her, unable to help but say, "Can the Immortals we've summoned actually recognize each other? This is kind of interesting..."
After speaking, she looked towards the card in Dragon Lance Douluo's hand: "Who did you get?"
"Ah?! No, nothing!"
Dragon Lance Douluo seemed extremely nervous and excited, quickly hiding the card.
"Hide what? We're in the middle of a challenge; why are you still being secretive now?"
Gu Yuena said discontentedly.
Dragon Lance: "The senior is right. Shall we go up first?"
"Let's go! I want to see what kind of creatures inhabit the ninth floor!"
After speaking, Gu Yuena authoritatively pulled Lin Jingyue out from Lin Yuejiao's embrace and started heading towards the stairs with her.
"Hey! Who are you? Let go of my younger sister!"
Lin Yuejiao immediately chased after them.
Seeing this, Di Tian and Zi Ji, mimicking Gu Yuena, also started leading their respective Immortals towards the staircase, albeit with much more politeness.
Wang Qiu'er, feeling nervous, glanced at the very "irritable" Immortal Lin Yuejiao and gestured an invitation.
Lin Yuejiao: "You're quite pretty, young lady. Who exactly are you all? Why have we appeared here?"
Wang Qiu'er did not dare to speak, sensing the oppressive aura emanating from the other person. Seeing that Lin Yuejiao was not moving, she silently followed the group.
"Wait for me!"
Lin Yuejiao promptly caught up.
Lin Jingyue, looking at Gu Yuena's back, asked, "Did the Ancestral Patriarch send me here? What am I supposed to help you with this time?"
Gu Yuena: "You mean Lin Yi? Yes, he did. You've got to help us fight monsters."
"Why do you address the Ancestral Patriarch by name so casually."
Lin Jingyue said displeasedly, but considering the special relationship between these people and the Ancestral Patriarch, she didn't make a fuss.
