"Sigh, only this single clan is left. If the Ye Clan also rejects me, then I will truly have no other options."
Standing at the entrance of the Ye Clan, Xiao Lin could not help but sigh.
After running into walls one after another at the four clans of Bai, Qiu, Cao, and Dan, to tell the truth, Xiao Lin did not hold much hope for this trip to the Ye Clan either.
In reality, although Xiao Lin did not know what kind of price the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower needed to pay to exchange for an opportunity to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame from the Pill Tower.
He could already guess a thing or two from his conversations with them.
That was absolutely something that the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower were unwilling to lose!
It was precisely because of this that after visiting four clans one after another, Xiao Lin currently had no confidence left in being able to reach a transaction with the Ye Clan. Right now, he was purely holding an attitude of just giving it a try.
However, Xiao Lin could absolutely never imagine that while he had originally come holding onto hope, he had lost all hope after being rejected by the four clans. Yet look at how it turned out now, just as he held no hope, this damn hope appeared once again!
It had to be said, fortune truly trifles with people!
After standing at the entrance of the Ye Clan and looking for a while, Xiao Lin also walked forward.
"Halt, who goes there?"
The guards at the entrance of the Ye Clan had actually noticed Xiao Lin, this person who had been standing at the entrance of the Ye Clan and watching, for a long time already. Therefore, when Xiao Lin stepped forward, they immediately barred his way.
"Myriad Formation Spirit Palace's Palace Master Lin Xiao has come to visit, I hope you will inform the person in charge of the Ye Clan."
Glancing at the Ye Clan guards who barred his way, Xiao Lin spoke calmly.
Hearing Xiao Lin announce his own name, the pupils of the Ye Clan guards shrank slightly, and they immediately cupped their hands toward Xiao Lin, then immediately went inside to report.
This was the benefit of a person possessing fame.
When Xiao Lin visited the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower, regardless of how they viewed Xiao Lin, the courtesy that should be given was still not missing in the slightest.
If Xiao Lin were an unknown person right now, it would not have resulted in the Ye Clan guards immediately going inside to report after hearing his name.
After all, the Ye Clan was at least one of the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower, so was it that whoever came could see the person in charge?
If that were the case, the person in charge of their Ye Clan would probably spend every single day entirely in receiving visitors.
This was the same logic when placed in any faction.
Just like how Xiao Lin was the Palace Master of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, there were actually people who came to visit him during ordinary days as well. However, it was not the case that every single person could see him.
Therefore, regarding this routine, Xiao Lin was already exceptionally familiar with it.
Xiao Lin's waiting did not continue for very long.
In less than a minute's time, a middle-aged man ran out in a great hurry. However, he did not know whether it was Xiao Lin's illusion, but he always felt that this approaching middle-aged man gave him a somewhat familiar feeling.
It was as if he had seen the other party before.
It was just that Xiao Lin could not recall it for a moment, that's all. Just as Xiao Lin revealed a puzzled expression, that middle-aged man, after confirming Xiao Lin's appearance, instantly revealed an excited expression.
"Elder Lin!"
A single form of address instantly pulled Xiao Lin's memories back to the time when he had just entered the Black Corner Region. The only ones who would address Xiao Lin with the words "Elder Lin" were students who came out of the Jia Nan Academy.
In other words, this middle-aged man before his eyes was once a part of the Jia Nan Academy!
Not only that, he was also one of the four students, besides Elder Huo Dian, whom Xiao Lin had saved when he first arrived in the Black-Corner Region!
Xiao Lin still remembered that the other party's name was...
"Are you, Ye Yun?"
Xiao Lin asked with a not-so-certain tone.
After all, a time of over twenty years had already passed, and the other party had also undergone very big changes, so Xiao Lin was also not certain if he had mistaken the person?
"It really is you, Elder Lin! I didn't expect Elder Lin to still remember me, it truly makes this student feel deeply honored! For the life-saving grace back then, I have actually never had an opportunity to repay it yet!"
Hearing Xiao Lin call out his name, Ye Yun appeared even more excited.
Thinking back to the past, he was sent by the clan to the Jia Nan Academy to study. However, during that time when he went out for trial and training with Huo Dian and three other classmates, they were unexpectedly targeted by a Dou Huang of the Black-Corner Region.
To tell the truth, Ye Yun thought he was absolutely dead at that time!
Fortunately, Elder Lin, who had not yet joined the Jia Nan Academy at that moment, happened to pass by and saved them along the way. Although to Xiao Lin, this was merely a matter of doing it along the way, in Ye Yun's eyes, this was absolutely a life-saving grace!
Subsequently, after Xiao Lin established the Trial Ground within the Jia Nan Academy, Ye Yun was also the one who charged through it most actively.
In reality, the Ye Yun of that time did not want to obtain any rewards from the Trial Ground, he purely wanted to catch Xiao Lin's eye and have Xiao Lin accept him as a disciple. Regrettably, at that time, how could Xiao Lin have any thoughts of accepting disciples?
Therefore, Ye Yun could only return in disappointment. Subsequently, after Ye Yun broke through to the Dou Wang cultivation stage, he also left the Jia Nan Academy and returned to the Ye Clan. From that point on, the two of them had never met again.
Finally, until the arrival of today.
As for Xiao Lin's mood at this moment, it was even more complex. He did not expect that one of the few Jia Nan Academy students he had saved back then along the way would actually be a member of the Ye Clan!
However, Xiao Lin thought of how in the original story, the Ye Clan also had a tradition of letting their younger generation enter the Jia Nan Academy to study, so he became relieved about this.
That younger generation of the Ye Clan, Xiao Lin remembered, was called Ye Xinlan, right?
But that was also a matter of the future!
Because Ye Yun used to linger around Xiao Lin frequently back then, it did cause Xiao Lin to remember the other party, that's all.
"I also didn't expect that you, Ye Yun, would actually be a part of the Ye Clan. I thought that after you graduated from the Jia Nan Academy, we would never have an opportunity to meet again."
Seeing an acquaintance, Xiao Lin's mood was clearly also decent.
Furthermore, with an acquaintance like Ye Yun, it also allowed him to see a shred of dawn regarding his transaction with the Ye Clan.
"Yes, I also didn't expect that there would still be a day I could meet Elder Lin again. Oh, that's right, Elder Lin, please come inside, if there is any matter, we can speak after going inside!"
A trace of reminiscence first appeared on Ye Yun's face, and then he also remembered something, quickly welcoming Xiao Lin inside. After Ye Yun spoke, those guards at the entrance of the Ye Clan no longer had any movements to bar Xiao Lin.
It could be seen that Ye Yun should possess a certain status and position within the Ye Clan.
For Xiao Lin, this was an even better thing!
Very quickly, Ye Yun brought Xiao Lin into the meeting hall of the Ye Clan.
Here, an old man of the Ye Clan was already waiting for the arrival of Xiao Lin and Ye Yun.
"Father, this is the Elder Lin Xiao whom I have always mentioned to you, who saved my life when I was studying at the Jia Nan Academy back then. It's just that, I didn't expect Elder Lin and the Palace Master of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace would actually be the same person!"
"If I had known earlier, I would have personally gone to visit the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!"
While Ye Yun introduced Xiao Lin's identity to the old man, he simultaneously revealed a vexed expression.
