Lin Chen was slapped off his seat, spinning in the air several times, and rolled outside the main hall.
"Lin Chen!"
Lin Feng and the others were stunned, full of disbelief.
Lin Chen was their elite, yet so fragile.
"Amazing spiritual power!"
The white-robed woman exclaimed in surprise.
Her blue eyes stared at Lin Xuan in shock.
At least a four-seal spell master… Lin Ke'er was astonished.
"Xuan'er, don't be so impulsive!" Lin Zhentian helplessly patted his thigh.
Now that Lin Xuan was a Forming Realm expert, no one could insult him freely, so Lin Zhentian wasn't angry.
"Brother Tao, control your people. Angering Xuan'er won't benefit them."
Lin Zhentian quickly admonished the gray-robed elder beside him.
"Elder Tao!"
The clan members looked at Elder Tao, seemingly wanting him to restrain Lin Xuan.
"I didn't expect you to have cultivated such a strong descendant."
Elder Tao's expression was complex, a mix of surprise and concern.
He was friends with Lin Zhentian and should have been happy for him, but now it had escalated. The younger generation clearly couldn't sit together peacefully.
Although he was the team leader, he couldn't manage these arrogant youths.
"Today's slap will be remembered!"
Lin Chen stood outside the hall, glaring at Lin Xuan, leaving a threatening warning before turning and leaving the Lin family gate.
"Lin Chen!"
Lin Feng and the others hurried after him.
Only Elder Tao and the white-robed woman remained.
"Sigh!"
Lin Zhentian sighed, then introduced, "Xuan'er, this is Grandpa's longtime friend. Just call him Elder Tao."
"This trip to the Ancient Tomb is led by Elder Tao. Initially, you were supposed to go together for mutual support, but now, it seems unnecessary."
"Elder Tao!" Lin Xuan saluted.
"So young with such strength. Two years from now, at the clan assembly, you will surely stand out. Your grandpa's wish to return to the inner clan depends on you."
Elder Tao sized Lin Xuan up seriously. "Those young ones are arrogant and look down on branch families.
Today's matter isn't entirely your fault. It's good they got a setback.
But your temperament doesn't need to be so impulsive. Many geniuses in the clan are stronger than them.
You might not defeat them all yet. Until you grow stronger, restrain yourself. A branch family producing a genius is rare. Don't waste it."
Hearing this, Lin Dong clenched his fist.
Everyone knew what Elder Tao meant.
It was a hint about Lin Xiao.
At the last clan assembly, their family's best, Lin Xiao, had been severely injured by the prodigy Lin Langtian, ruining his Dan Tian.
Now, the Lin Clan's top genius is Lin Langtian.
This person despises branch families. If he knew Lin Xuan had bullied clan members, it could spell trouble.
"Thanks for your advice, Elder Tao!" Lin Xuan saluted again.
"My old friend, I'll take my leave and check on them. As the leader, I must consider Lin Chen and the others."
"Farewell. See you at the Ancient Tomb!"
Lin Ke'er slightly bowed, smiling sweetly at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan nodded slightly in return. He sensed strong spiritual power from her—at least a three-seal spell master.
"Xuan'er, be careful on this Ancient Tomb trip.
Elder Tao and the others are just scouts. The clan's strong members will follow. He said the team leader sent is Lin Langtian."
"This person was said to have reached the Forming Realm a few years ago!"
"Besides the Lin Clan, the other three great clans will send strong members of comparable power."
"Although you've entered the Forming Realm, don't be careless.
Among the young talents of the four great clans, Forming Realm is just average."
"If you meet them, avoid direct conflict!"
Lin Zhentian warned earnestly.
He truly worried about his talented grandsons!
"Understood, Grandpa. We'll be careful."
Lin Xuan reassured him, letting him relax.
In Lin Zhentian's eyes, the four great clans were formidable forces, not to be offended.
But Lin Xuan scoffed.....dare to provoke him, and he would crush them.
Give him another year or two, and even the four great clans could be underfoot.
He gestured to Lin Dong, "Let's go. Time to prepare to depart!"
As news of the Ancient Tomb Mansion spread, more and more people in Yancheng were gathering.
The Ancient Tomb Mansion was located in the Tianyan Mountain Range, which stretched through both Yancheng and Tiandu City.
Anyone entering the mountains essentially had to pass through these two cities.
Lin Dong returned from a trip to the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce and cautiously approached Lin Xuan:
"Brother Lin Xuan, the Wan Jin Chamber also wants to go to the Ancient Tomb Mansion. Miss Zhi Lan hopes we can go together with them. What do you think?"
"If you want to, then go with them!" Lin Xuan replied casually.
The Wan Jin Chamber wasn't a threat to him. In fact, their information network was better, often scouting more thoroughly than his own.
He didn't even know the exact location of the Ancient Tomb Mansion. With them along, it would save him some trouble.
Currently, they were partners, so helping them when necessary wasn't a problem.
He also planned to buy the Wan Jin Chamber in the future, with Xuan Su becoming his secretary.
After Lin Xuan gave his approval, Lin Dong immediately returned to deliver the good news to his little lover.
The next day, the Wan Jin Chamber's team was ready to depart.
Xuan Su and Xia Zhi Lan came together to pick up Lin Xuan and Lin Dong.
For this Ancient Tomb Mansion expedition, Lin Xuan brought Lin Dong, Qing Tan, as well as the family of Tiger Ying, along with Xiao Qing and Xiao Zi.
