Chapter 342: Tale of two lovers (2)

The Lin Family ancestor had been trying to avoid that since he knew that if he told Lin Fan about this story, Lin Fan would definitely chase after in revenge, but that was too dangerous for him since these were true upper realm factions.

The power that they had behind them was not something that Lin Fan could take on right now with his current power.

But he had no choice since the Lin Family ancestor still had to win Lin Fan over, so he couldn't withhold information from him like this if he wanted him to trust him.

In the end, it was all his fault since he had gone into closed door cultivation all this time, not paying attention to this matter. If he had learned of Lin Fan's abilities sooner, he would have been able to bring him back to the Lin Family much sooner than this.

But that also was strange to him since he had been the one who had checked Lin Fan back when he was born. He had been certain that this child had a severed meridian which didn't allow him to cultivate and it was something that no one could cure, or at least no one in this lower realm.

So just how had Lin Fan been able to cure his body and walk the path of cultivation?

Could it be that he really had met an expert like everyone else was telling him?

But for now, that was thrown to the back of his mind since he still had to answer Lin Fan's question.

The Lin Family ancestor hesitated a bit before saying, "Your mother's name is Yue Qingrou and that person was called Elder Yue, so that should be clear. As for Liao Ping and that other elder, that is a long story."

Lin Fan sat back in his chair and said, "We have time."

The Lin Family ancestor revealed a bitter smile when he heard this, but he still went right into his story.

This was a story from a time before Lin Fan was born, this was a story of two young lovers that ended in tragedy.

Lin Ao was the greatest genius of the Lin Family after their ancestor. In the eyes of everyone, he would definitely become the second Legendary Realm Expert of the Lin Family and bring them glory. But before he could mature, he was crippled, or at least that was what the story was.

After what had happened just now, it was clear that there was more to this story.

Back when Lin Ao was still young, he had qualified to join the upper realm's joint training session.

This was a joint training that the upper realm gave the lower realm quotas too, allowing their talents to see a broader world. For this training, the upper realm even opened up an Inheritance Realm for these talents to explore, as well as allowing them to keep everything that they found.

This was a joint training session that happened once a century, so that was why Lin Fan had never heard of it.

The next joint training session would be held in another few decades, but Lin Fan had already surpassed the criteria for joining.

Lin Ao had completely dominated in this realm since all the geniuses that were sent in were below the Legendary Realm.

At that time, Lin Ao had only just reached the Platinum Realm and he was already able to fight those in the peak Platinum Realm with his artifact.

It was this talent that had caught the attention of Yue Qingrou, a talented young miss from an upper realm family.

The Yue Family and the Liao Family were both families that came from a single faction in the upper realm, the True Spirit Sect, which was one of the twelve factions that had ruled the Galactic Humanity Alliance. But of course, there was a large disparity of strength between them.

It was because of this disparity that the Yue Family had gone against the wishes of Yue Qingrou and engaged her to Liao Ping.

In this joint training session, Yue Qingrou began following Lin Ao around after an encounter with him. In truth, it was an encounter of the hero saving the beauty which led to her slowly falling in love with him.

At that time, Liao Ping had also been with them since he had followed Yue Qingrou since the beginning, but he had been too weak to save her. He had also been saved by Lin Ao in the end, but of course he could see how Yue Qingrou looked at Lin Ao and he challenged Lin Ao.

In the end, Liao Ping was beaten up and left behind while Yue Qingrou explored the Inheritance Realm with Lin Ao.

It was during this adventure that the two of them had fallen in love, but it truly was not meant to be since their statuses were just too different.

But then something happened that no one had expected.

Yue Qingrou ran away from the upper realm and eloped with Lin Ao!

It was hard for the lower realm experts to ascend to the upper realm, but it was quite easy for the upper realm experts to descend into the lower realm. So without any challenge, Yue Qingrou and Lin Ao had run away to the Blue Star Planet and hid their identities, trying to live a normal life.

Still, how could the upper realm factions take this kind of humiliation?

How could Liao Ping take this humiliation?

A piece of trash from the lower realm had stolen his wife, would he still be a man if he just accepted this?

The Liao Family forced the Yue Family to act and together, they sent experts to comb the Blue Star Planet in search of Yue Qingrou and Lin Ao.

It didn't take them long to find the two and they were both dragged into the upper realm.

Yue Qingrou was locked under house arrest and Lin Ao was placed in the dungeons where he was tortured.

Finally, one day, they brought him out and in an execution ceremony where they forced Yue Qingrou to watch.

In front of everyone, they first crippled him by shattering his dantian before slowly torturing him to death.

It was at this time that the Lin Family ancestor had arrived in the upper realm and cut his way through the experts of the Liao Family to bring Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou away, bringing them back down to the Blue Star Planet.

The Liao and Yue Family had never chased after them because they were afraid of the Lin Family ancestor.

The day he cut his way into the Liao Family, he had slain experts in the Fragmented Soul Realm, the Embryo Soul Realm, and even an expert in the Child Soul Realm. These were heavy losses for the Liao Family and they couldn't easily make a move.

They planned on waiting for the crippled Lin Ao to die before coming down to demand Yue Qingrou from the Lin Family. After all, there was no reason for the Lin Family to involve themselves if Lin Ao was dead.

But they never heard the news of this and time passed slowly.

Lin Fan had just turned nineteen, it had been twenty years since Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou had escaped from the Liao and Yue Families. Naturally they were getting impatient.

As for how the rest of that story went, Lin Fan had just seen the ending, so there was nothing that needed to be said.

Lin Fan picked up on two key things during that story.

The Lin Family ancestor clearly had a deep past since he was even able to kill Child Soul Realm Experts…

But he was also clearly unwilling to talk about it, so Lin Fan wasn't going to push since the Lin Family ancestor at least seemed to be on their side for now.

The other key thing was…

Lin Fan was in thought for a bit before asking, "How did my father recover his cultivation?"

The Lin Family ancestor explained, "Ao has a special physique where he was born with two dantians. So even if they crippled one of them, he's still able to cultivate with the second. Of course, he doesn't have the same advantage he had before where his life energy was twice that of his opponents, but he makes up for that with his comprehension. Ao has one of the strongest comprehension abilities I've ever seen, that was how he was able to break through so fast all those years ago."

Lin Fan nodded in response before asking, "Where is the True Spirit Sect?"

The Lin Family ancestor's expression turned dark when he heard this and he quickly said, "Don't even think about picking that fight. The True Spirit Sect is one of the twelve factions that rule over the Galactic Humanity Alliance, they clearly have peak experts. Even if you don't fight them, you still aren't able to fight the Liao Family since they have one of the True Spirit Sect's elders in their family. They have more than ten Child Soul Realm Experts in their family just because of that."

Lin Fan had some understanding of the divisions of the Soul Realm because of Momonga, so he knew that the Lin Family ancestor was right.

But that didn't matter since he could go there in time since he had a cheat system.

As long as he had time, he would be able to become stronger and take them down one day.
