Chapter 2169: Telling Qiao Xue the Truth?
Seeing his grandson Lin Tiance's reaction, the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family spoke irritably:
"What, upon hearing he's not dead, you can't even call out 'Grandma' properly?"
Lin Tiance had reacted reflexively just now.
Now he came to his senses and quickly suppressed his inner fear.
Then he said, "Grandma, I was just too shocked. We all clearly saw with our own eyes the scene where Lin Dong was blasted into a blood mist by King Kunlun, how could he possibly be alive?"
"At the time, our Old Ancestor, a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, was also present. If we were mistaken, could it be that the Old Ancestor was mistaken too?"
The Old Patriarch of the Lin Family replied, "It's precisely because we were mistaken that he's lived for these extra days."
"And the reason for this is still your 'good Master,' King Kunlun."
"His Heavenly Forbidden Art creates an illusion that can deceive even the eyes of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist. King Kunlun's so-called challenge to Lin Dong, aiming to kill him, was all an act."
"It was just to allow him a crafty escape plan to buy him more time to cultivate."
"Fortunately, it wasn't long before I noticed some suspicious points. I informed the Old Ancestor, and the Old Ancestor set up this plan to deal with King Kunlun. It was confirmed from King Kunlun."
"That Lin Dong is indeed still alive."
Hearing these words, Lin Tiance's heart was unsettled for a long time.
"He actually is still alive; he actually is still alive. Could it be..." At this moment, Lin Tiance suddenly thought of something.
That is, among the two mysterious figures recently appearing in Southern Capital or Demon City, could one of them be Lin Dong?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly informed his grandmother, the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family, of this matter.
The Old Patriarch of the Lin Family, after hearing this, said, "It could be him, but it could also be his friends or subordinates."
"Don't underestimate his connections; he now has considerable connections in the World Martial Arts community. He can mobilize quite a few Earth Realm martial artists."
"But regardless of whether those two mysterious figures are him, it doesn't matter. As long as we have control over several of his women, he must come to your wedding."
"And in two days, your wedding will not only celebrate you and Xiaoxue but also set up a trap for him."
Hearing this, Lin Tiance was stunned, his face slightly changed as he said, "He... He's coming to my wedding?"
"What, are you afraid? What's there to be afraid of? Even if the sky falls, you have your grandma and the Old Ancestor to stand by you. You just focus on attending the wedding and entertaining the guests." The Old Patriarch of the Lin Family spoke in a serious tone.
Lin Tiance nodded repeatedly, then said, "Grandma, it's not that I'm afraid of him. Oh, will the Old Ancestor be overseeing my wedding?"
Without the Old Ancestor's presence, without any Heavenly Realm martial artists overseeing, he would indeed be a bit panicked.
Now that his Master, King Kunlun, is dead, could his grandmother's old arms and legs stop Lin Dong from arriving?
Could the wedding turn into a funeral then!
"The Old Ancestor will surely oversee your wedding!" The Old Patriarch of the Lin Family snorted.
Hearing this, Lin Tiance was relieved. With the Old Ancestor, a Heavenly Realm martial artist, overseeing, even if Lin Dong isn't dead and even if he comes, he won't be able to stir up any trouble.
If he comes, he's just courting death!
"Apart from the Old Ancestor, I also went to get some helpers a few days ago," continued the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family.
Hearing this, Lin Tiance's eyes brightened, suddenly recalling that his grandma said she went to visit a few old friends a few days ago.
It seems that when she said she visited old friends, she was actually going to get helpers.
"Grandma, at my wedding, how many Ninth Stage Martial Arts Grandmasters will be overseeing?" Lin Tiance asked.
The Old Patriarch of the Lin Family smiled and then extended one finger:
"Seven!"
"Besides grandma and my Sword Slave, the Lin family has a hidden Ninth Stage Martial Arts Grandmaster as well."
"Additionally, I've invited four more Ninth Stage Martial Arts Grandmasters as helpers. Among them, one is from overseas, and three are domestic. They are all relatively low-key martial artists who might never act in their lifetime if not for grandma."
Hearing that there are a total of seven Ninth Stage Martial Arts Grandmasters, plus the Old Ancestor overseeing, Lin Tiance was completely at ease.
He said with joy, "So the Old Ancestor and grandma had already laid out the plans. Grandson is completely relieved now."
"This time, as long as that Master Lin dares to come, he will surely meet his end."
"Just grandma, with such a big setup, won't he realize it's a trap? What if he doesn't come?" Lin Tiance asked worriedly.
The Old Patriarch of the Lin Family laughed and shook her head, saying, "You really are not a match for him; you don't understand him at all."
"Don't worry, he will definitely come."
"He and his father Lin Zhan Tian are the same kind of person! This kind of person, even knowing the wedding is a trap, a Hongmen Banquet, he will still come obediently!"
"Even knowing that what lies ahead is hell, he will come... because there are people here they care about!"
Lin Tiance suddenly asked again at this time:
"Grandma, what kind of person is that Lin Zhan Tian really?"
He was curious why his grandma gets angry every time Lin Zhan Tian is mentioned?
Moreover, her expression is very complicated.
The Old Patriarch of the Lin Family said coldly, "Why are you asking so much?"
"Just prepare well for your wedding. Where's Xiaoxue? Let her come over and chat with me."
Lin Tiance hurriedly said, "I'll call Qiao Xue right away and have her come over."
At the moment, Qiao Xue was with Qiao Bing and their mother, Chu Yunxiu.
They were currently at a villa specifically bought for Qiao Xue by the Lin family.
This was a villa in the Capital City, located in a prime area, not for them to live in permanently, just to serve as a receiving room before the wedding.
They would only stay here for a few days before the wedding!
After the wedding, this house would directly belong to Chu Yunxiu, as part of the betrothal gift.
In the future, this would be considered half of Qiao Xue's maternal home. Why only half? Because the other half is in Jianghai, where Qiao Xue grew up.
In the hearts of Qiao Xue, Qiao Bing, and their sisters, Jianghai would always be their home. Even if they move to a bigger city, they will never forget that home.
At the moment, Chu Yunxiu was vibrant and blooming more beautifully than flowers.
Qiao Xue's wedding made her even happier than when she herself got married.
"In just two days, she'll be officially married. The Lin Family from the Capital City is truly wealthy; this villa worth hundreds of millions is only part of the betrothal gift."
Chu Yunxiu thought of her daughter Qiao Xue's wedding and that this villa would belong to her afterward, making her smile even brighter.
At this moment, she thought of her other daughter, Qiao Bing, and then looked at her.
"Little Bing, where has Lin Dong gone? I haven't seen him for months! When he marries you in the future, how much betrothal gift will he give?"
"I'm telling you beforehand, he is now considered a wealthy man. If his betrothal gift is less than the Lin family from the Capital City, he can forget about marrying you!"
Chu Yunxiu's words naturally stirred up sadness in Qiao Bing.
She still didn't know that Lin Dong was alive.
Faced with her mother's pressing questions, she felt even more upset.
Qiao Xue also looked at Qiao Bing at this moment, inquiring:
"Yeah, Little Bing, where has Lin Dong gone? Why haven't I seen him for months?"
"Will he come to my wedding the day after tomorrow? Didn't he say he would come before?"
Qiao Bing didn't know how to answer her sister's question and only shook her head with bitterness.
Qiao Xue was about to ask more, but at this moment, her phone rang.
It was Lin Tiance calling her, asking her to quickly go to accompany the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family to talk.
Qiao Xue then gave up on continuing to ask Qiao Bing about Lin Dong.
As for Qiao Bing, today she originally intended to tell Qiao Xue the truth.
Which is that Master Lin is Lin Dong!
But seeing her sister Qiao Xue had already left, she could only sigh secretly:
"I'll tell her after she comes back. The day after tomorrow, she's getting married. No matter what, I have to tell her the truth before she officially gets married."
