The people who were originally in the hall came out to see what was going on when they saw the dazzling light.
Upon seeing Yuan Zhexian and his four companions, all dressed in magnificent attire and exuding an air of grandeur, especially Yuan Zhexian himself, whose appearance and demeanor were absolutely perfect, like celestial beings, they sensed that the group was no ordinary people. They then inquired, "May I ask who you are? What brings you to my Lin family?"
Yuan Zhexian smiled slightly and said, "We are from a reclusive family, and our current appearance in the world is merely a journey through the mortal realm. However, as darkness falls, we wish to find a place to stay."
When Yuan Zhexian smiled, all the women present were instantly captivated by his perfect appearance.
At this moment, Huo Xing, who was standing to the side, was secretly very annoyed to see Zhao Zixuan staring intently at Yuan Zhexian, but on the surface he still maintained his composure and said, "In that case, please take a seat in the hall, my friends." Then he gestured to the Lin family's elder with his eyes.
The Lin family elder immediately realized what was happening and said, "Yes, yes, please take your seats in the main hall."
Then, he led Yuan Zhexian and the four others to the main hall. Yuan Zhexian saw Lin Yan still in the hall, and the "World Seed" in his soul suddenly flashed with seven-colored light. Yuan Zhexian immediately used his divine sense to observe Lin Yan's condition. He then discovered that this person was extremely ordinary in every way, except that the elixirs and medicines he carried were slightly amiss. He then withdrew his divine sense and stopped looking at Lin Yan.
At this moment, the Lin family elder said to Yuan Zhexian, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I have some family matters to attend to."
"It's alright," Yuan Zhexian said, waving his hand.
Then the eldest elder of the Lin family continued to ask, "Lin Yan, even now you're still fantasizing about wonderful things. Quickly dissolve the engagement so everyone can have a better life."
Yuan Zhexian found the scene somewhat amusing. He had read too many novels with similar plots in his previous life: things like "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," and "never underestimate the poor when they are young." He was all too familiar with these stories.
At this moment, Lin Yan said, "Alright, alright, I'll break off the engagement."
That's right, a wise person knows when to yield. Seeing Lin Yan's reaction, the Lin family's eldest elder and Huo Xing both smiled. Zhao Zixuan remained silent, glancing at Yuan Zhexian from time to time.
But then Lin Yan said, "Breaking off the engagement means my illusions have been shattered. Won't you give me some emotional compensation to soothe my fragile heart?"
"Huh? ???" Yuan Zhexian was also astonished. This plot seemed a little different from what he was used to. Shouldn't it be someone throwing out some grand and ambitious words with high spirits? How did it suddenly turn into such a shameless and submissive act, with even some kind of mental compensation?
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, the Lin family's eldest elder and Huo Xing were slightly taken aback, and then asked, "What do you want?"
Give me a dozen or twenty elixirs or miraculous medicines, I'll just. My young heart needs these elixirs and miraculous medicines to soothe it slowly.
Seeing Lin Yan's shamelessness, the Lin family's eldest elder also felt very embarrassed. Huo Xing's face darkened slightly as he said, "Do you think it's like cabbage, where you can just pick a dozen or twenty at a time? I have five Qi-boosting pills here, take it or leave it."
"Fine! I'll annul the engagement right away! Annul it right away!" Lin Yan then took out the marriage certificate written by his grandfather and Zhao Zixuan's grandfather, and then set it on fire.
Then he said to the Lin family's eldest elder, "Now that the matter is settled, I will take my leave." He then glanced at Yuan Zhexian in alarm and immediately left the hall.
"What a waste." The Lin family's eldest elder was also surprised that Lin Yan was so absurd and useless. He then said to Yuan Zhexian, "Please forgive my rudeness, everyone. Please come with me to the guest room to rest." He then led Yuan Zhexian to the guest room.
Inside the guest room, Yuan Ruochu and the others stood in front of Yuan Zhexian and asked, "Divine Child, Lin Yan gave me a strange feeling today."
Yuan Zhexian sat at the tea table, holding a cup in one hand and pouring tea with the other, and said calmly, "Brother, you've noticed it too?"
“That’s right. This person’s talent and aptitude are both average, not even as good as that Huo Xing. Logically speaking, his best achievement in this life should only be around the Blood Refining Realm. But this person is actually a Cave Heaven Realm expert, and his aura is stable. Could it be that this person has some kind of unparalleled opportunity?” Yuan Ruochu said.
“That’s right, Divine Child. Unless there’s an extraordinary opportunity, it’s impossible for someone with such ordinary talent to advance to the Cave Heaven Realm in the lower realm,” Ji Jingtian said at this moment.
Yuan Zhexian took a sip of tea and said, "What you all say is correct. This person's talent is indeed ordinary, even extremely poor. He should be someone with an extraordinary opportunity. I examined this person with my divine sense today and found that apart from the pills being a bit strange, there was nothing unusual about him. I think we can examine this person's pills."
He then said to Yuan Zifeng, "Zifeng, go and investigate some things about Lin Yan's pills."
"Yes," Yuan Zifeng said, then vanished in a flash. Yuan Ruochu, Ji Jingtian, and Yuan Yan'er also left Yuan Zhexian's room and returned to their own residences.
Night falls!
Yuan Zhexian sat by the window, sipping tea and gazing at the bright crescent moon outside. A slight smile appeared on his face, and he glanced at the moon and said softly, "Since you're here, why not come and sit down for a cup of tea?"
"You knew I would come?" At that moment, Lin Yan appeared in Yuan Zhexian's room.
“My intuition tells me that you will come to find me, and tonight no less,” Yuan Zhexian said calmly.
"You're here to arrest me," Lin Yan said through gritted teeth.
"Arrest you? I have never met you before and do not know you. Why would I arrest you?" Yuan Zhexian said calmly.
