Bai Zun was extremely frustrated. As the saying goes, when you're out in the world, your identity is something you give yourself.
When that guy lied to him, he said he was just a wandering cultivator passing by, and he didn't pay much attention at the time, so he believed him.
After all, with his cultivation level of the seventh level of the Supreme Realm, there are very few people who can control him.
The result, naturally, was imprisonment.
Now that he's finally out, his first thought is naturally to find the person who deceived him and get revenge.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the person who had lied to him was from the Jun family.
This left him at a loss for what to do, and he could only bury his bitterness in his heart.
He came to the Ruan family for help this time out of desperation, as he could not possibly rescue Hei Zun on his own.
If the Ruan family can lend a hand, he would accept any price he has to pay.
However, the past is the past, and the present is the present. If Junlin is willing to help, he is much more reliable than the Ruan family.
For a moment, Bai Zun began to ponder how to get Jun Lin to help him with this favor and rescue Hei Zun.
Just as Bai Zun was pondering, Ruan Hange, the head of the Ruan family, who had learned of Jun Lin's arrival, hurriedly came to the reception hall.
Accompanying him were Ruan Xingyun, the current young master of the Ruan family, and Ruan Xinghe, the current holy son of the Taiyan Holy Land.
That's right, Ruan Xinghe successfully secured the position of Holy Son.
However, in the eyes of the Ruan family, this position of Holy Son was really nothing special; it was merely a good reputation.
After all, the Wu family doesn't fight for this, and the Jun family isn't allowed to fight for it.
This resulted in the Ruan family not feeling much of a sense of accomplishment even after obtaining the position of Holy Son.
However, since Ruan Xinghe has just returned to the family, having such a prestigious title is a good way to prove himself.
Ruan Hange glanced at the two people in the hall, completely ignoring Bai Zun, and came to the opposite side of Jun Lin. "I didn't expect that you would come to my Ruan family as a guest. It is truly an honor for my Ruan family."
Jun Lin smiled calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Actually, I have come here today to ask for your help."
"oh?"
Ruan Hange was somewhat surprised to hear this and quickly asked, "I don't know what you need, but if it's within my power, I will do my best to help."
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. I am truly flattered."
"Alas! Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. You once saved my nephew's life, but I have been too busy with clan affairs to repay you. I have always felt guilty about this."
Ruan Hange couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Ruan Xingyun behind him and said, "Xingyun, how have I been teaching you? You don't even know how to set a good example for Xinghe. What kind of older brother are you!"
"Uh... huh?"
Ruan Xingyun was stunned for a moment, somewhat bewildered. The problem is, you never taught me this before.
Seeing this, Ruan Hange frowned and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come up to say hello."
"oh oh!"
Ruan Xingyun then realized what his father meant and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Brother Jun, it's been a long time..."
Before Ruan Xingyun could finish speaking, Ruan Hange slapped him on the head and said, "How can you talk like that? You have no manners. Call him Heavenly Venerable."
"Yes, Heavenly Venerable."
Ruan Xingyun felt wronged. Ever since Ruan Xinghe returned, Ruan Hange had been making him set a good example for Ruan Xinghe every day.
The problem is that he's been doing this for over a decade, and habits aren't so easy to break.
Seeing this, Junlin couldn't help but chuckle, "It's alright, the child is just ignorant, he'll be fine after some education."
Ruan Hange laughed and said, "Hahahaha! I think so too. This kid is always so irresponsible and not as sensible as Xinghe. He doesn't act like a young master at all, which really gives me a headache."
As she spoke, Ruan Hange looked at the two people beside Jun Lin and asked, "May I ask who these two are?"
"Oh, this is my Daoist partner, and this is my Daoist partner's younger sister," Jun Lin introduced.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Hange nodded knowingly and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you are blessed with great fortune!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Ruan Xingyun and said, "Xingyun, go and get my tea. Also, inform them that a banquet is being held today to welcome Fellow Daoist Junlin to my Ruan clan as a guest."
"yes."
Ruan Xingyun nodded and turned to leave.
"I'll go help too."
Seeing this, Ruan Xinghe also became restless, because he felt that staying here was meaningless, just like the old man in white over there.
Ruan Hange shook her head and said, "No need. You can leave this to Xingyun. Just sit here."
"Um... okay."
Ruan Xinghe nodded without refuting.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind."
Junlin couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, not everyone is so bad. Look at the Ruan family, how kind they are!"
Ruan Hange laughed heartily, "Haha, fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so formal. Our Ruan clan has always treated guests this way."
"I think you've misunderstood. I'm not being reserved at all. On the contrary, I'm very curious about what special dishes are served at this banquet?"
"Special things? Hehe, fellow Daoist, I'm not bragging, but at least half of the delicacies at our Ruan family's banquets are unique to our Ruan family!"
Ruan Hange smiled slightly; the strength of the Ruan family was beyond question.
Of course, this was mainly because the banquet held to welcome King's Landing was conducted at the highest level.
Although the scale will be much smaller, the quality will be absolutely top-notch!
"Oh? Well, I'm looking forward to it then."
Junlin smiled and said, "Errou loves good food. If this banquet is really as Ruan Hange said, then it would be nice to attend."
"Haha, I certainly won't disappoint you, fellow Daoist." Ruan Hange nodded with a smile. "Speaking of which, didn't you say you came here to ask for something? Could you elaborate?"
Upon hearing this, Junlin nodded and said, "That's right. I came here today to ask you for something."
What is it?
"The World Jewel?"
"The World Jewel? What is that? I've never heard of it."
Ruan Hange frowned slightly; he was already prepared to send resources.
Suddenly, a world treasure that Junlin had never heard of before popped out of his mouth, leaving him completely bewildered.
Jun Lin smiled and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, fellow Daoist. This is just a name I gave it for convenience. In fact, it is a bead transformed from a secret realm."
Hearing Junlin's explanation, Ruan Hange finally understood. A crystal-clear bead appeared in her hand, and she asked, "Is this it?"
Jun Lin glanced at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he said, "Yes, I would like to ask you to be so kind as to part with it, as a reward for saving this kid."
"Hehe, it's not a matter of enduring pain. On the contrary, you saved my nephew's life, and such a great favor can be repaid with just a bead. I've actually benefited greatly."
Ruan Hange smiled and handed the World Pearl to Junlin without hesitation.
