Chapter 1438 Gathering Of Geniuses (3)



At this moment, Yun Lintian noticed this and looked toward Qin Jun's group. A strange expression appeared on his face as he saw these familiar faces.

On the side, Ning Yue had also seen them. She subconsciously grabbed Yun Lintian's sleeve and drew closer to him. Years of being bullied made her timid in front of these people.

"An acquaintance?" Shen Yan asked casually.

"Yeah." Yun Lintian smiled faintly. He didn't take a chance to avenge Ning Yue before leaving the Profound Pill Sect because he wanted her to do it herself. However, he didn't mind doing it here for her if she asked him.

Shen Yan looked at him strangely. Obviously, there was more of a story in this.

Yun Lintian looked at her and explained the ins and outs briefly.

Hearing this, Shen Yan chuckled. "Seriously. They are really unlucky to meet you here."

If Yun Lintian wasn't forced to participate in this event, these people would definitely be off the hook. It seemed fate didn't allow them to live longer.

Yun Lintian held Ning Yue's small hand and asked. "Do you want me to take care of them here?"

Ning Yue tightened her grip and hesitated for a while before shaking her head. "I want to do it myself."

"Alright. It won't be long." Yun Lintian had always respected Ning Yue's choice. He naturally won't interfere with this.

"You sure like to spoil her." Shen Yan teased.

Yun Lintian shrugged and continued to follow the servant to the special zone nearby a throne.

Seeing Yun Lintian walk away, Qin Weizhe and the others were relieved. However, they knew it was a temporary relief. They still had to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Qin Jun and Chen Lan frowned deeply. They were trying to find a solution to this. Money? Resources? They didn't think Yun Lintian was short of these things. What could they do now?

Perhaps they should ask Chu Teng to come forward?

While Qin Jun and the others fell into a dilemma, more and more people arrived, filling vacant spots in the hall.

Asides from Jian Ziqi and Wang Jiacai, there were other top talents from various factions around the Great Zhou Kingdom. Although they weren't as famous as the former two, their talents couldn't be underestimated. 

At this moment, Yun Lintian walked onto a high platform prepared for his group and saw a familiar face sitting there.

"President Zhi. I didn't expect to see you here." Yun Lintian smiled and greeted Zhi Wei.

Zhi Wei laughed slightly. "Since I am about to leave, I still need to maintain a good relationship with the Zhou Clan for him."

As he spoke, he pointed at a middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man cupped his fists and said. "Jin Zheng greets Elder Lin." 

Yun Lintian cupped his fists and responded politely. "There's no need to be polite, Senior Jin."

He naturally knew that Jin Zheng would succeed in Zhi Wei's position once the former left.

Yun Lintian brought Ning Yue over and sat beside Zhi Wei, looking at the crowd below.

"Look like we had missed a great opportunity back then." Shi Nanhua glanced at Yun Lintian above and sighed to himself. He didn't expect Yun Lintian to have such a high status. Clearly, he had committed a huge mistake by not helping Yun Lintian while he had a chance.

Wu Jinjian and Lou Xuan were not much different. Thinking how they looked down on Yun Lintian back then, they wanted to slap themselves badly.

Especially Lou Xuan. When his younger brother, Lou Ping, came back and told him about Yun Lintian's promotion, he couldn't sleep at all. 

On Ye Lianyu's side, although her face was cold as usual, her heart wasn't as peaceful as she appeared to be. During this period, she often went to the Ximen Clan to form a connection with Yun Lintian, as he displayed remarkable combat skills.

Unfortunately, Yun Lintian always refused to see her.

Sitting beside her, Ye Jingran lowered her head in regret. If she had been more sincere and put her arrogance away back then, Yun Lintian should have had a good impression of the Ye Clan.

"Don't think about it too much. Since we missed it, just let it be." An amiable old man beside her said. "Even if you change everything in the past, there's no guarantee we can form a good relationship with him."

Ye Jingran sighed softly and said. "It's my fault. I made our clan lose a good chance to rise."

"Silly girl." The old man, Ye Cang, shook his head with a smile. He was a great elder of the Ye Clan and watched the two little girls grow up since they were born. He always treated them as his granddaughters.

Ye Cang raised his head to look at Yun Lintian with a trace of admiration in his eyes. This was the first time he saw a twenty-two-year-old-top alchemist with his own eyes.

Yun Lintian noticed this and turned to look at Ye Cang before nodding with a smile. In fact, he didn't have a bad impression of the Ye Clan at all. To him, they were simply a passerby that he would forget later.

"Crown Prince is here." Suddenly, a servant shouted, and Zhou Xianyang gradually appeared on the high platform backstage.

"We greet Crown Prince." Immediately, the crowd got up and said in unison.

Zhou Xianyang raised his hand and said. "Thank you, everyone, and welcome to the royal banquet today. Please sit down and enjoy our delicacies first. The banquet will start once everyone has arrived."

The crowd expressed their words and backed down to their seats, enjoying the delicacies that had just been served.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xianyang walked toward Yun Lintian and said politely. "Greetings, President Zhi, Vice-President Lin, and Young Miss Shen. Thank you for visiting our humble abode."

"You're too polite, Crown Prince." Zhi Wei replied with a smile, while Shen Yan merely nodded her head in return.

Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said. "Thank you for the invitation, Crown Prince."

"It's nothing. Even if I didn't invite Vice-President Lin, you would still come here." Zhou Xianyang said with a smile.

Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing further. 

"Please take a good rest first. My Royal Father will arrive soon." Zhou Xianyang said politely and returned to his seat on the right side of the throne.

"He doesn't give up on you, it seems." Qin Mei teased Yun Lintian through a sound transmission.

Yun Lintian chuckled in response, unbothered to talk with her about this topic.
