Chapter 67 - Young Master Lin Has Been Abducted

The Lin family patriarch was dumbfounded, thinking that Ye Xuan was joking, “Brother Ye, are you joking? It’s just an ordinary piece of paper. I’ve checked it just now and there’s nothing special about it.”

There wasn’t even any fluctuation of spiritual power. It was clear that the words and pictures on it were probably made up and written randomly. There was no reason for them to exist.

“You’d better take a look at other things.”

Ye Xuan was serious, “Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Lin, but I’ve already made up my mind. Since I’m fond of it, perhaps it’s fate.”

Since he had already said so much, the Lin family patriarch could not say anything more.

There were so many things in the treasury that anyone would be tempted by. Furthermore, a supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill could not be measured in spirit stones. The Lin family patriarch had prepared to pay a huge price.

Other than the Lin family’s inherited treasure, he would agree to Ye Xuan anything he wanted. Who would have thought that he would choose such an unremarkable thing? To put it bluntly, that was something that nobody wanted.

The Lin family patriarch felt a little apologetic and said, “How can I agree to that? Brother Ye, you should take a look at other things.”

“I don’t need anything else.”

If others were to hear this, they would definitely be envious. This was a rare opportunity. After all, it was the treasury of a large family. There were countless good things inside.

Yet, Ye Xuan had chosen a piece of broken paper. Anyone would think that there was something wrong with him.

He turned a blind eye to so many priceless treasures. His expression was calm and without any greed. The Lin family patriarch’s admiration for Ye Xuan increased even more.

Either this person had noble character, unquestionable integrity, and really didn’t care about these worldly possessions, or he was very knowledgeable and had already seen something better. That was why he could be so calm.

But no matter which one it was, it was enough to prove that Ye Xuan was not simple. In the end, the Lin family patriarch tried to squeeze a few cultivation techniques and magic treasures into his hands.

He had originally wanted to keep Ye Xuan for dinner, but surprisingly he wanted to leave.

“Brother Ye, why don’t you stay with me for a few more days?”

Ye Xuan politely declined, “Patriarch Lin, my sect’s returning ceremony is just around the corner. There are too many things to do. Even today, I have to take some time out of my busy schedule. I really can’t delay anymore.”

The Lin family patriarch felt strange. With Ye Xuan’s bearing, he should come from one of the seven major sects. But now, he was in a small, newly established sect.

It was inevitable that people would suspect his true identity. Was he a hermit expert? Or perhaps was he from one of those super large sects, but he had hidden his name, not wanting others to recognize him?

With such a halo, the more the Lin family patriarch looked at Ye Xuan, the more he felt that he was full of mystery. This person was definitely not as simple as he looked.

During the break, the Lin family had already sent people to inquire about Ye Xuan, and they had a relevant understanding of his deeds.

Ye Xuan still didn’t know that they had made up many identities for him.

“If that’s the case, then I won’t hold you further. I hope Brother Ye can take care of yourself.”

When the Lin family saw him off, Lin Yuanheng packed up his luggage and walked out. When everyone saw him dressed like that, they all looked a little confused.

“Young master, what are you doing?”

Lin Yuanheng seemed to have made up his mind. He said to the Lin family patriarch, “Father, I have decided that I will follow Elder Ye to join Tai Qing Sect.”

The Lin family was dumbfounded.

Even Patriarch Lin was stunned for a moment before he reacted, “What did you say?!”

“I want to join Tai Qing Sect.”

According to the Lin family’s strength, in addition to Lin Yuanheng’s recovered foundation, he could probably join a big sect and become the disciple of a powerful elder, not to mention a small Tai Qing Sect.

The Lin family patriarch had already arranged everything. He had found the best sect and asked for his good friend’s help to find Lin Yuanheng a good teacher.

However, he had never expected that Lin Yuanheng would publicly express his desire to join Tai Qing Sect.

“Heng’er, have you thought thoroughly? Tai Qing Sect…”

The Lin family patriarch subconsciously glanced at Ye Xuan beside him and swallowed his words. He said tactfully, “Tai Qing Sect has just been established not long ago, and your foundation has just been restored. I’m afraid it’s not a good decision.”

To put it bluntly, the people in Tai Qing Sect were mixed good and bad, and the qualifications of the disciples were also mixed. What good things could he learn there?

However, it was inappropriate to say this in front of Ye Xuan.

Lin Yuanheng understood what he meant. “Father, I know you’re doing this for my own good, but I’ve already made up my mind,” he looked at Ye Xuan.

“What does Elder Ye think?”

Ye Xuan shrugged, “I’ll follow whatever you want. As long as you can afford the spirit stones, you can join Tai Qing Sect.”

Upon hearing this unreliable statement, the Lin family members’ expressions changed. This was the first time they had heard that a sect did not look at one’s talent or cultivation, but only the amount of spirit stones one had paid.

Tai Qing Sect was a weirdo. There was absolutely no other sect like it in the world.

The Lin family patriarch was a little worried. It wasn’t easy for Lin Yuanheng to recover from his suffering and restore his foundation. But now, he wanted to join such a sect. Wasn’t it a waste of time?

He had already wasted a lot of time and fallen behind his peers by too much. He would have to try very hard to make up for it in the future. Otherwise, he would not achieve much in this life.

However, the Lin family patriarch couldn’t say anything harsh due to Ye Xuan’s presence. After a moment of deliberation, he said, “Heng’er, this is not a small matter. Would you reconsider for the sake of your future?”
