Chapter 573: Chapter 238 Li Family Council_2
Li Qingqing, after listening, did not directly answer but seemed somewhat hesitant…
Lin Jing looked at Li Qingqing, then with a faint smile, he said,
“If it’s really inconvenient, then never mind. After all, this is a family affair of the Li family, and it’s not appropriate for us to intervene.”
“But if there is anything that you need help with, just speak up. Don’t bear it all by yourself.”
“After all, we’re not outsiders, and there’s no need to be polite with us.”
At this time, Lin Jue also spoke up, saying:
...
“Yes…”
“Sister Qing Qing, if you have any difficulties, just tell us. We’ve already heard about some of your issues with the Yun Family.”
“Especially that Young Master of the Yun Family…”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about him.”
“In my eyes, you are my ‘sister-in-law,’ and there’s no way he can bully you…”
“Now that we’re here, with my brother, a great master at the Nascent Soul Stage, to support you, let’s see who dares to bully you…”
Hearing Lin Jue’s words, Li Qingqing’s face turned slightly red, and she raised her head to glance at Lin Jing, who was also looking at her with concern…
This made Li Qingqing’s cheeks turn even redder…
Afterward, Li Qingqing calmed her emotions, and after pondering for a while, she said:
“Actually it’s not like…”
“It’s just that this time, we may be facing not only the Yun Family but also the Nanming Immortal Sect behind them.”
“The Nanming Immortal Sect is powerful within the Nanming Domain, and I’m afraid it will bring trouble for you, Brother Lin Jing.”
Li Qingqing’s words left Lin Jing somewhat speechless:
“What have you been thinking about all this time?”
“Just because the Nanming Immortal Sect is powerful, am I supposed to ignore you? What kind of talk is that?”
Having said that, Lin Jing looked at Li Qingqing and continued:
“Rest assured, now that we have come, we will definitely not let you be bullied by anyone.”
“You are well aware of my cultivation level.”
“The entire Yun Family combined is no match for me.”
“Even with the Nanming Immortal Sect, except for that elder at the Divinity Transformation Stage, no one else can beat me.”
“If the elder of the Nanming Immortal Sect takes action personally, I am confident that I can fight him.”
“It remains to be seen if they are willing to pay that price for the Yun Family.”
Lin Jing’s words were certainly not an exaggeration.
The only one in the entire Yun Family was the ancestor at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and as for the others, they were not worth considering.
If Lin Jing wanted to destroy the Yun Family, it would hardly take any effort at all.
Even though the Yun Family had the support of the Nanming Immortal Sect, the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators in the sect was not that high.
And these people were not a match for Lin Jing either.
You must know, aside from his regular cultivation, Lin Jing was also a Body Refinement Cultivator, and with the combination of the two, ordinary cultivators were simply no match for him.
Furthermore,
Lin Jing’s Divine Sense was far stronger than other cultivators’, and he had no fear of the Divine Transformation Cultivator’s Divine Sense attacks.
Therefore, facing the elder of the Nanming Immortal Sect at the Divinity Transformation Stage, Lin Jing was unafraid.
Even if he could not defeat that elder, he had ways to fight to a draw.
Moreover, if that elder of the Nanming Immortal Sect were to really take action, it would mean a fight to the death between Lin Jing and the Nanming Immortal Sect.
Would the Nanming Immortal Sect really provoke such a formidable enemy for the sake of the Yun Family?
Probably not.
Even if that elder of the Nanming Immortal Sect wanted to obtain the Li family’s legacy of Alchemy Techniques, he would still have to weigh his options with Lin Jing present.
He would have to consider whether it was worth it or not.
After listening, Li Qingqing pondered for a while, and then, as if she had made a certain decision, she said directly:
“All right then…”
“You come with me.”
Having said that, Li Qingqing led Lin Jing and the other two toward the Li family’s council hall.
Just as Li Qingqing and Lin Jing’s group stepped into the courtyard of the council hall, even while they were still outside the courtyard, they heard a voice coming from inside.
“I’d like to know, patriarch, isn’t it a little improper for you to suddenly leave when we are in the middle of a discussion?”
“And…”
“Who are those people behind you? Even if they are friends of the patriarch, this is an internal secret matter of our Li Family. Is it really appropriate to bring them here now?”
As soon as this voice stopped, another voice spoke:
“Qingqing…”
“It’s not for me to say, Third Uncle…”
“At this time, your sudden departure, and bringing your friends here, isn’t it a bit too much?”
Having finished speaking, the voice spoke again:
“Elder Jin…”
“Take those people to the guest rooms first, don’t delay our discussion.”
Then another voice spoke:
“Sorry, Third Master…”
“Before the old master passed away, he instructed that I only take orders from Master Qing Qing.”
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Lin Jing was taken aback, and then peered into the room.
Indeed.
Lin Jing once again saw that familiar figure.
It was the same Elder Jin who was adept in Spirit Plant cultivation that Lin Jing had met at the Li Family.
Previously, Li Qingqing had said he had died in battle, yet here he appeared again, which left Lin Jing rather puzzled…
Thereafter, Li Qingqing with a cold expression directly led Lin Jing and the two with him into the discussion hall.
When Lin Jing entered, Elder Jin saw him and immediately broke into a smile:
“I was wondering who it was that made Qing Qing so anxious, to run out without care to greet, it turns out it’s you, kid…”
Lin Jing approached Elder Jin, studied him carefully, then said with a smile:
“Elder Jin…”
“So you’re alright, I heard from Qing Qing that you had an accident, I thought that…”
“Now that you are alright, it is truly wonderful.”
Elder Jin, smiling, responded:
“I thought I was going to hand over my old bones when I encountered those wolf cubs, who would have thought, I didn’t die.”
“Not only did I not die, but I also turned misfortune into a stroke of luck and successfully advanced to the Golden Core Stage. It must be said, my luck is quite good.”
Before, Elder Jin himself was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and logically speaking, at his age, it would be even more difficult to break through to the Golden Core than for most people.
Yet, Elder Jin had managed to advance to the Golden Core Stage even under those circumstances, one couldn’t help but say that Elder Jin’s luck was exceptionally good…
In this discussion hall, aside from their group, there were three others.
Two of them were mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators, while another was at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
At this moment.
The mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator approached, glanced at Lin Jing, and snorted coldly:
“This… young friend…”
“I am Qing Qing’s Third Uncle. Regardless of what relationship you had with Qing Qing before, right now we in the Li Family are in the midst of a discussion.”
“Isn’t it rather improper for a young friend like you to come here so rashly?”
Lin Jing had heard of this Third Uncle of Li Qingqing before.
He wasn’t very talented and was an idler at best.
Although the Li Family was originally known for its Alchemy Dao, Li Qingqing’s Third Uncle had no interest in the Alchemy Techniques whatsoever.
All day long, he relied on the Li Family’s reputation to behave recklessly.
Elder Master Li was very disappointed in him, so he had sent this Third Master of the Li Family away early on, to manage one of the Li Family’s Elixir Pavilions in another Immortal City.
However.
It was precisely for this reason.
That this Third Master of the Li Family was lucky to escape the Howling Sky Wolf Clan’s onslaught and survived.
And now.
As Li Qingqing rebuilt the Li Family, his Third Uncle, hearing winds of change, came back too.
After all.
It’s always pleasant to enjoy the shade under a big tree; as long as the Li Family existed, even if he lived poorly, it wouldn’t be too bad.
It was still a hundred times better than the time he spent alone.
However.
No sooner had his words fallen than Li Qingqing’s face turned cold and she spoke directly:
“Third Uncle…”
“Lin Jing is a guest I personally invited to help resolve the Li Family’s crisis. Moreover, Lin Jing’s cultivation is much higher than yours.”
“That manner of address is indeed inappropriate.”
As Li Qingqing’s words ended, Ye Yun immediately revealed his cultivation, and instantly a terrifying aura enveloped the whole hall.
Then, Ye Yun, looking coldly at the other three people, walked up to Lin Jing and respectfully called out:
“Master…”
