Along with the news of Xiao Lin's "severe injury" spreading, forces that were on good terms with the Xiao Clan, such as the Nalan Clan and the Mu Clan, came to visit him one after another. Especially Nalan Jie and Mu Chen, who even visited in person!
In addition, whether it was the Jia Ma Imperial Family or other forces like the Mittel Clan, they also sent people to check on Xiao Lin. Truth be told, there was at least one good thing about Xiao Lin's "severe injury".
That was, everyone who came to visit him brought various gifts.
Even those who came with ill intentions had to prepare a little gift just to have a legitimate reason to knock on the door. However, since Xiao Lin was still in a "severely injured and comatose" state, these visitors could only leave their gifts and depart after checking on him.
Sensing all of this, Xiao Lin did not know what to feel in his heart.
How should he put it?
There was a strange feeling as if he had already passed away, and a group of people were coming to pay their respects. It had to be said that this could be counted as him experiencing death once in an alternative way.
However, although Xiao Lin was lying in bed "severely injured and comatose", he did, after all, possess the strength of a Heaven Realm soul!
Therefore, everything currently happening within the Xiao Clan was completely under his control. Xiao Lin could feel that, along with his "severe injury and coma", the entire Xiao Clan was shrouded in a layer of anxiety.
After all, if he really died from injuries too severe to heal!
Many of the forces that currently held a good relationship with the Xiao Clan might not maintain this attitude anymore. Thinking back to the past, weren't the Xiao Clan and the Gu clan close friends for generations?
Xiao Xuan and Gu Yuan were practically close enough to become sworn brothers!
But so what?
Subsequently, didn't the Gu clan at most only preserve a portion of the Xiao Clan's bloodline?
Look at the original story again.
After Xiao Lin passed away, what was the Nalan Clan's attitude? Although Nalan Jie still treated the Xiao Clan reasonably well, what about the rest of the Nalan Clan?
They directly came to the door to break the engagement!
Except for Nalan Jie, everyone else in the Nalan Clan either supported or silently agreed with it.
This already explained everything perfectly.
The phrase "the tea cools down when the person leaves" was indeed very fitting. However, even though Xiao Lin sensed the emotions of the Xiao Clan members, since he had already formed his plan, it was naturally impossible for him to just "fully recover" like this.
This anxious emotion filling the entire Xiao Clan only took a turn for the better until Yun Shan, the Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect, arrived in person.
It could be said that now that Xiao Lin had "fallen", Yun Shan's appearance temporarily stabilized the hearts of everyone in the Xiao Clan. One had to know that Yun Shan was, after all, the teacher of their Xiao Clan's Young Clan Leader, Xiao Zhan.
He was absolutely the biggest backer of their Xiao Clan right now, bar none!
Yun Shan had naturally come to visit after hearing the news of Xiao Lin's "severe injury and coma". However, Yun Shan was someone who knew a portion of Xiao Lin's true strength. Therefore, toward Xiao Lin's "coma", he actually held a skeptical attitude.
But no matter what, he ultimately had to come to the Xiao Clan to investigate and see for himself.
So, Yun Shan arrived at this moment.
Upon his arrival, Yun Shan was quickly led to Xiao Lin's bedside by Xiao Zhan, who was acting as the Young Clan Leader. Looking at Xiao Lin, who was lying motionless on the bed with a pale face, no one knew what Yun Shan was thinking.
"Teacher, I beg of you, please save my father!"
At this moment, Xiao Zhan was already so panicked that he was somewhat losing his mind.
"Zhan'er, do not panic first, I will do my utmost to help your father!"
Looking at his second disciple's current state, Yun Shan could only console him with these words. However, toward his second disciple's current performance, he could understand it perfectly well.
After all, this involved the safety of his own father!
Immediately after, Yun Shan also began to carefully inspect Xiao Lin's physical condition. Yet, no matter how he inspected it, the result he obtained was no different from those physicians earlier.
A textbook case of severe injury!
However, once Yun Shan thought about the sequence of events he had learned from Xiao Zhan's mouth after arriving at the Xiao Clan, he felt that Xiao Lin's current "severe injury and coma" was completely mind-boggling.
Going to a life-and-death duel appointment with a Dou Wang, at most a Dou Huang, could make oneself end up like this?
No matter how one looked at this matter, it practically leaked absurdity!
Yun Shan was different from other people, he at least knew a portion of Xiao Lin's strength.
A guaranteed Dou Zong!
Furthermore, it was impossible for him to be a low-grade Dou Zong.
A mid-level or higher Dou Zong would be injured to this extent by a Yan Penghong who possessed at most the strength of a Dou Huang? What a joke!
Pondering for a brief moment, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Yun Shan's mind.
He seemingly thought of something!
"Zhan'er, you go outside and keep watch first, I have a bit of confidence regarding your father's situation, however, your presence here will affect my treatment of your father."
Turning around, Yun Shan spoke to Xiao Zhan with a grave expression.
"Ah? Teacher, is it true? That's wonderful! No, no, Teacher, I am not doubting you, I am just too excited! Good, I will go outside and keep watch right now, if Teacher has any need for my help, just call out!"
Upon hearing the words spoken by his teacher, Xiao Zhan was instantly overjoyed.
His own old man had already been "severely injured and comatose" for three days and three nights!
This was also the first time in three days and three nights that he had heard such good news!
One had to know that since Xiao Lin became "severely injured and comatose", Xiao Zhan had not rested up until now.
Because of this, his eyes were already filled with bloodshot streaks.
Creak
Harboring a mood that was half excitement and half anxiety, Xiao Zhan closed the room door and left this place.
Once Xiao Zhan had been gone for about a minute, Yun Shan finally opened his mouth.
"Get up, stop pretending."
Along with the fall of Yun Shan's voice, Xiao Lin, who had been "severely injured and comatose" in the eyes of outsiders, suddenly snapped his eyes open.
Right after, Xiao Lin sat up with extreme speed.
Looking at Xiao Lin again, where was there even a trace of paleness on his face at this moment? Furthermore, his whole person looked simply so healthy that he could not be any healthier!
"How did you see through it? I thought my disguise technique should be quite good?"
Xiao Lin looked at Yun Shan and asked with a smile.
Following Xiao Lin's question, Yun Shan did not answer immediately, but unhurriedly found a chair in the room to sit down, only then did he speak, "Your disguise, I indeed did not see through, no matter how I inspected it, it was a state of severe injury, I only deduced it from your son's words."
"A mere Yan Penghong, regardless of whether he broke through to the Dou Huang realm, even if he found a whole bunch of people to ambush you, he could absolutely never harm a single hair on your head."
"Let alone cause you to fall into a state of severe injury and coma. Therefore, for the current situation to happen, there is only one possibility! That is, you are faking it!"
Yun Shan's piece of reasoning had a logic that was concise and clear.
"I didn't expect Sect Master Yun Shan to actually have such confidence in me!"
Toward Yun Shan's reasoning, Xiao Lin did not deny it.
After all, this was originally the truth.
In addition, Yun Shan's confidence in Xiao Lin was actually even above his own, so how could he believe that the man was severely injured and comatose?
