Chapter 57 - Familiarity

A young man was looking at Ye Xuan angrily. he was wearing a purple-gold crown, which was extremely expensive. Even the jade pendant on his body was a top-grade defensive magic weapon, which was enough to show that his family background was extraordinary.

“I’m an elder from Tai Qing Sect, Ye Xuan.”

The man frowned, “Tai Qing Sect? I’ve never heard of it. Where’s this wild sect? You actually dare to trespass my Lin family. Are you having ulterior motives?”

“Second young master, Tai Qing Sect seems to have only been established recently.”

So he was the Lin family’s second young master, Lin Tianyi. His father was the brother of the current Lin family patriarch. No wonder he was so angry after hearing Ye Xuan’s words.

Lin Tianyi’s gaze was not friendly, “What right does a sect like this have to enter our Lin family? He must have sneaked in. Men, take him down.”

“I came here with Alchemy King Gu Xi.”

Lin Tianyi sized Ye Xuan up, he found that his clothes were ordinary and his cultivation was not high. He couldn’t help but say in disdain, “You can’t even come up with a decent lie. Do you really think we’re three-year-old kids? How could Alchemy King Gu Xi have anything to do with someone like you?”

After saying that, he gave a look to the few servants. Then they surrounded Ye Xuan instantly. Ye Xuan secretly tightened his grip on the Water and Fire Talisman, and the atmosphere became tenser and tenser.

“Hold on.”

As a man walked over from the side, everyone’s expression turned strange, especially Lin Tianyi, who had a hint of ridicule and jealousy in his eyes.

“Everyone here is a guest, so there’s no need to make such a big fuss.”

Lin Tianyi snorted and said to Ye Xuan, “Consider yourself lucky this time.”

After saying this, he left without looking back, not even giving the man an extra glance. The servant behind him nodded to the man and then hurriedly followed.

By the time Ye Xuan wanted to thank him, the man had already left. He was as silent as when he came. This made Ye Xuan a little confused, “It’s really strange. Who the hell is this?”

If the man’s status was said to be noble, Lin Tianyi didn’t have much respect for him though. He didn’t even care about him. However, he wasn’t ordinary either since he could make them stop with one sentence.

When Ye Xuan returned, he happened to run into Alchemy King Gu Xi, who had come out to look for him. “Where have you been? The ceremony is about to start.”

“I just went out for a stroll.”

Alchemy King Gu Xi didn’t say anything. The two of them sat down together. Due to Gu Xi’s esteemed status, he was arranged to sit at the head of the table. Ye Xuan was naturally the same.

This scene fell into Lin Tianyi’s eyes and he couldn’t help but be shocked, “This kid really knows Alchemy King Gu Xi.”

However, the conflict just now did not happen. Even if Ye Xuan wanted to settle the score later, Lin Tianyi was not afraid. He laughed coldly and said, “There are plenty of people who know how to flatter. He’s just lucky.”

Ye Xuan looked around and found that the young man who had just helped him out was also there, “He’s here too.”

Hearing this, Alchemy King Gu Xi followed Ye Xuan’s line of sight, “You know the Lin family’s eldest young master too?”

He never thought that he would be the protagonist of today’s engagement banquet, Lin Yuanheng.

Alchemy King Gu Xi sighed, “This Lin Yuanheng was originally an outstanding talent, a rare genius in the world. It’s just a pity.”

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be a little curious, “What do you mean?”

It turned out that Lin Yuanheng had shown extraordinary talent since he was a child, leaving his peers behind. He was only about eight years old, but he was already at Earth Realm level five. It could be said that he had a promising future.

However, a sudden illness caused his cultivation level to drop drastically to Human Realm. He was unable to advance any further and was gradually overtaken by others, turning from a genius to a loser.

One could imagine how sad it was to fall in one day.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of strange illness is it? Can’t he recover?”

Alchemy King Gu Xi shook his head, “The Lin family’s patriarch has searched for famous doctors all these years, but he still couldn’t find the right treatment. In the end, he found out that for some unknown reason, Lin Yuanheng’s foundation had been broken, and the damage was irreparable. That was why he stopped advancing.”

“As long as the damage is repaired, he’ll be fine.”

Facing Ye Xuan’s question, Alchemy King Gu Xi sighed, “How can it be that easy? Even I’m at a loss. What I need is really too much.”

Before Alchemy King Gu Xi could finish, he was interrupted by the emcee.

“It’s the auspicious time!”

Almost everyone had arrived, but the bride was still not there.

The guests were discussing among themselves, “What’s going on? Why isn’t anyone from the bride arrived yet?”

“How can they be late for such an important day? I’m afraid it won’t be good if they miss the auspicious time.”

“I heard that Miss Su has been training outside. I think it’s normal for there to be a delay in information.”

“Could it be that the Su family has other ideas? I’ve heard that Su Qingyun is already at the peak of the Earth Realm. With such an unlimited future, how could she marry a good-for-nothing?”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t be willing either. The Su family didn’t say anything on the surface, but they have always been quite critical about this. Who would be willing to marry their family genius to a waste?”

“That’s not true either. The relationship between the two families is not bad and this marriage was set by the old forefather. It is impossible for the Su family to fall out and go back on their words.”

The crowd’s words made the Lin family patriarch feel a little embarrassed. He coughed a few times and said, “Everyone, please be patient. There might be an emergency, so they’re delayed.”

Then, he whispered to the person beside him, “Hurry up and take a look at what’s going on with the Su family.”

The more Ye Xuan listened, the more familiar the script was to him. An original genius became a loser after a great change, and then he had a fiancée with similar family background.

Then, shouldn’t the next step be…

“Su Qingyun is here!”

As the ethereal female voice rang out, the entire place fell silent.
