Chapter 121: The Clan Leader's Token!

  "Old Three, our dormitory of four is now down to just the two of us!" Wei Feng said with a tinge of sadness after finishing his conversation and handing the phone over to Lin Tian. "We'll meet again in the future, and by then, we'll be greatly different from who we are today! I only hope that time won't dilute our friendship." Lin Tian said softly, "Old Wei, this world is going to undergo a huge change soon, I'll find you a suitable cultivation method as soon as possible. Those without strength will likely die in large numbers during the upcoming turmoil!"

  "What turmoil? What turmoil?" Wei Feng asked. "Old Wei, you know that it's not beneficial for you right now, so why don't you just add some oil to the fire and settle Qin Ke once and for all? Anyway, without a powerful technique, your strength won't make any major progress, and idle is still idle!" Lin Tian said.

  "What you said makes me feel like the world is coming to an end!" Wei Feng said. "It's the end of the world, but only for the weak. For the strong, it's an opportunity. I believe you'll be a strong one, Old Wei, because you have a heart that yearns to become stronger!" Lin Tian said. "Qin Ke hasn't entered the Xuan Nu Sect and seems to be in low spirits. You should take care of her for the next few days, maybe something will happen between you two." Wei Feng nodded: "Alright, Old Three, I'll try, but I'm afraid the possibility of failure is greater!"

  "It's up to us, if we try our best, we won't regret it!" Lin Tian said with a smile.

  ……

  Murong Xue and Nangong Wanyi left, Lin Tian knew that Zhou Yao would definitely be very sad, so he called out to her. "Little Linzi, Murong and Wanyi don't know how long it will take before they can see each other again. The Xuan Nu Sect has extremely strict requirements, and without a certain level of cultivation, one cannot leave the sect!" By the lake in autumn, Zhou Yao leaned on Lin Tian's shoulder and said sorrowfully. "Yao'er, you should be happy for them instead! They've entered the Xuan Nu Sect, and from now on they'll be cultivators. Maybe someday they'll even become immortals!" Lin Tian chuckled lightly.

  "Xiao Linzi, they are immortal cultivators now, their lives will be very long, and I, will soon grow old and die!" Zhou Yao said, tears streaming down her face. "Nonsense, Yaoyao, if nothing unexpected happens, I can become an immortal deity, and you, will naturally always be by my side!" Lin Tian said. Zhou Yao burst out laughing: "Xiao Linzi, don't try to comfort me, I'm not greedy for eternity, just living a happy life for several decades is enough!" Lin Tian was not talking nonsense, with the star ring and the cultivation method left behind by Xiao Ling's old master, as long as he was careful and low-key, he could naturally become stronger. But since Zhou Yao didn't believe him, Lin Tian didn't say more, time would prove everything!

  "Yao'er, tomorrow is the anniversary of my parents' death, come with me to pay respects!" Lin Tian said in a low voice. "Okay!"

  Nothing happened all night.

  The next day at noon, Lin Tian had already driven with Zhou Yao to a small mountain village more than 500 kilometers away from Hai Tian City - Fog Shadow Village. "Little Lin, is this where you lived when you were young?" Zhou Yao asked, looking out the car window at the fields. Lin Tian nodded: "Before I was nine years old, I lived here. After that, my parents had a car accident and I left here to go to a small county town. As for what happened later... haha, never mind!"

  "Little Lin, why did you want to leave? At that time, you were still young, and if you stayed here, at least the neighbors would take care of you!" Zhou Yao said. Lin Tian said: "At that time, I thought my parents were killed by someone, and stubbornly wanted to leave to find the murderer. Alas, I was only nine years old then, and now I don't know how I had such great courage at the time. In fact, thinking about it now, it's not easy to survive!"

  Zhou Yao hugged Lin Tian's right arm: "Little Lin, what are your parents after all?"

  "I didn't have the ability to investigate before, but now I do. However, it's been too long and I don't know where to start!" Lin Tian let out a sigh and said, "Recently, Fourth Brother and Xiao Bai left, and it's also my parents' memorial day, everyone has become sentimental!" "People have joys and sorrows, partings and reunions; the moon has its phases of waxing and waning."

  The car stopped in front of a dilapidated house. "It's been ten years, and it's become like this!" Lin Tian got out of the car and sighed. "Who are you?" The middle-aged uncle frowned. "Uncle Mu, I'm Little Tian! You don't even recognize me after ten years?!" Lin Tian laughed, he had changed from a little boy to an adult, but the middle-aged man had only aged ten years, not much change at all!

  "Xiao Tian, I remembered! Xiao Tian, you're finally back! This house of yours, we used to help clean it every now and then two years ago, but later on, you never came back, and gradually, nobody cleaned it anymore, and now it's become like this!" The middle-aged uncle said with a hint of embarrassment. "But looking at it now, Xiao Tian, you don't need to live in this small village anymore. I was just thinking the other day whether you would come back for your parents' memorial day this year, didn't expect that you really did come back!"

  Zhou Yao also got off the car at this time. "Yao'er, this is my Uncle Mu, I often went to his house to play when I was a child!" Lin Tian said.

  "Hello, Uncle Mu!" Zhou Ya said with a bow.

  "Xiao Tian, this must be your girlfriend, you're really something, your parents in heaven should be at peace!" The middle-aged uncle said with emotion, "Alright, Uncle Mu won't disturb you two anymore, come to Uncle Mu's house for dinner tonight, I'll get my wife to cook more dishes!"

  Lin Tian nodded and entered the dusty house with Zhou Yao. After casting a water shield on Zhou Yao, Lin Tian activated his wind magic, creating small whirlwinds that wandered around the room, picking up the dust and dirt from the ground!

  Ten minutes later, the whole house was not clean, but it was much better than when they first came in! "Little Lin, using magic to sweep and clean, I guess that's what you can do!" Zhou Yao laughed. "Why not save some effort if we can?" Lin Tian said.

  "Xiao Ling, scan the surroundings!" Lin Tian said in his mind. "Okay, master!" Xiao Ling replied, "Master, a sealed box was found one meter under the tree behind the house!" "A box? What's inside?" Lin Tian asked. "A token, with a 'Ling' character on the front and a 'Lin' character on the back!"

  Lin Tian quickly walked towards the back of the house, and with a flick of his wrist, he used earth magic to easily open the small silver-white metal box that was less than 20 cm long and only 10 cm wide. Inside the box lay a mysterious token made of an unknown material, quietly resting there, measuring about 10 cm in length.

  "Xiaolinz, what is this?!" Zhou Yao asked. Lin Tian also wanted to know, so he quickly asked in his mind: "Little Spirit, what is this token, and why is it here?" "Master, I've searched for related information. This token is the Lin Family's Long Order, which disappeared twenty years ago. Who would have thought that it was buried underground? Master, your father might be the elder brother of Lin Zhen, the current head of the Lin family!"

  "In Lin Tian's mind, a loud noise sounded, "Lin family? Xiao Ling, if that's the case, then my parents might not have died in a car accident, but were murdered, right?" Lin Tian shouted in his mind. "Yes, master, Lin Zhen had an older brother, who was your father, and at the age of 20, he had already reached the level of a land-level cultivator, a high-ranking expert who wouldn't have died from a simple car accident!"

  "Lin family!" Lin Tian's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Little Lin, your eyes are so scary!" Zhou Yao pulled Lin Tian's hand and said, Lin Tian took a deep breath: "I'm fine, it's just that this token makes me think of some bad things!"

  The things for worship had been bought long ago, and soon the two of them took out the things from the car and set them up!

  Lin Tian knelt down, and Zhou Yao hesitated for a moment before kneeling down as well. "Dad, Mom, it's been over ten years, are you living well in the other world? Little Tian is doing great, you can rest assured! This time, Little Tian brought Yao'er to visit you, and Yao'er will become your good daughter-in-law in the future!" Lin Tian said while burning paper money. "It's been over ten years, and this time, Little Tian finally found some clues. Dad, Mom, I will definitely avenge your death!"

  Zhou Yao didn't say a word, but instead followed Lin Tian and respectfully kowtowed several times!

  Lin Tian is back, which is a big deal for the small village of Fog Shadow. One by one, the villagers came to offer their condolences, making Lin Tian busy and feeling warm in his heart at the same time. Although the conditions here can't compare to those in the big city, the kindness and simplicity of the people's hearts are unmatched by outsiders!

  In the late afternoon, Uncle Mu came over and called out, "Xiao Tian and this young lady, come to Uncle Mu's house for dinner!"

  Lin Tian nodded and took Zhou Yao's hand, following Mu Shu to his home. "Auntie, hello! This time Xiao Tian came back in a hurry, didn't even buy anything!" Lin Tian said with embarrassment. "Xiao Tian, don't be formal with Auntie, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, you've already grown into a handsome young man, and you've even found such a beautiful girlfriend! Our family's Wei Zi doesn't have your skills!"

  Wei Zi was a playmate of Lin Tian Er's, and at this time he had also gone off to university, so wasn't at home. "Auntie, I'm Zhou Yao!" said Zhou Yao. "Zhou Yao, what a good name! Auntie only has some simple home-cooked dishes here, can't compare with the delicacies of the city!"

  After finishing a warm meal, the sky had already turned dark. When they returned to the house, Lin Tian suddenly pulled out a large bed, and Zhou Yao was stunned for several seconds before reacting. "Little Lin, how did this come from?" Zhou Yao touched the bed, feeling its reality with surprise.

  "Yao'er storage ring, you should know, right? This bed is just taken out from inside, only one bed!" Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Little Linzi, you, hum, can sleep on one bed, but don't move your hands or feet!" Zhou Yao said, taking off her shoes and getting into bed with her clothes still on.
