Dragon Monarch
Chapter 212 - Discussion
The Gu Clan
Inside the not-so-luxurious room, it currently looked Patriarch, the Great Elder of the Gu clan along with Lin Yan and Gu Yin were talking a lot of things.
“I want to ask you a few things. It's about something that happened a year ago.” The Gu clan patriarch spoke. He did not mention the matter about Lin Yan changing shape because it was probably Lin Yan's biggest secret.
The Great Elder of the Gu clan was also curious how could Lin Yan be like that. Even if he didn't see it, just hearing it made him always wonder.
“Do Lin Yan have to explain all that uncle?” Gu Yin was slightly dissatisfied as she gazed towards the Patriarch of the Gu clan.
“We didn't force him, Yin'er. I know that there are some things like that out there because there are records of them disappearing. Such an existence was once very much but disappeared as time went by.” The Gu clan patriarch spoke slowly and tried to calm his nephew down. He certainly knew that Gu Yin would constantly defend Lin Yan because a year ago, his nephew was even willing to give his life.
“It's okay Yin'er. Before that, we better wait for them,” said Lin Yan.
The Patriarch and the Elders of the Gu clan only gave a small nod. Both of them understood that Lin Yan wanted to say everything if everyone had gathered.
Not until ten minutes later, the sound of several footsteps coming hurriedly came closer to the room.
Several women along with one man entered the room in a hurry.
“Yan'er.”
Lin Yan heard a voice he had not heard for a long time. And he certainly knew that it was the voice of his older brother, Huan Caiyi. He slowly stood up and looked back.
“For a long time no see.” said Lin Yan with a smile.
Huan Caiyi looked at Lin Yan with teary eyes. He ran and hugged the most important person in his life.
Meanwhile, Gu Mien who is Gu Yin's mother immediately hugged her daughter because she had not seen her for a year. He was so happy that his daughter was completely saved. Also, Gu Shen hugged his daughter.
On the other hand, Gu Lan was just silent. While Gu Yuena, felt confused when she saw Lin Yan and Gu Yin.
“That's Lin Yan? How could he be taller than me in a year? And Yin'er..he has changed greatly within this year's time.” Inner Gu Yuena was shocked.
After releasing his embrace, Huan Caiyi immediately asked, “How have you been doing all this time? Have your wounds recovered?”
Everyone there was speechless looking at Huan Caiyi. During the time in the Gu clan, Huan Caiyi very rarely spoke. He would only say a few words to Gu Yuena. His days were only spent cultivating like crazy.
“I'm fine. Sit down, I want to say a few things. We will talk about other things later,” said Lin Yan.
Huan Caiyi simply nodded and smiled as he had reunited with Lin Yan.
“For a long time no see, uncle, aunt, Yuena.” said Lin Yan as he stared at Gu Yin's father and mother as well as at Gu Yuena.
“You still call me that?” Gu Yuena's eyebrows rose slightly as she felt a little dissatisfied with the way Lin Yan called out to her.
Gu Yin simply glanced at his cousin. If it was first, he would have instantly thought that Gu Yuena was trying to get close to his Lin Yan. This time, he was just ordinary.
Looking at the ordinary-looking Gu Yin, Gu Yuena was a little surprised. He slowly walked over and then hugged his cousin Gu Yin.
“You haven't changed at all. And behold, my cultivation is already far above you. You are less active in cultivating.” Gu Yin chuckled slightly as she hugged her cousin while boasting of her achievements.
Black lines appeared on Gu Yuena's forehead and she immediately took off her embrace. He only snorted and then looked to the side as it was very upset that Gu Yin immediately showed off her strength.
“You all sit down. We'll discuss a few things.” The Gu clan patriarch spoke again.
Everyone who was there nodded and immediately sat down.
The patriarch of the Gu clan stared towards Lin Yan to start the conversation.
“I'll say a few things. It's about what happened a year ago. I don't really know the specifics either.” Lin Yan began to talk and explain why he was like that. He explained it as much as he could even if he did not understand it too much. And for that, he also started about when he was together with his grandparents.
At the end of Lin Yan's words, he only said that if he wanted to know everything, he would have to find his grandparents.
“Wait a minute, so the rumors about the continent out there are true?” Asked the Gu clan Patriarch to be surprised.
“Yes. I don't know much about that either. My grandparents are from there. Only a few cultivators knew about the continent out there. And one of them was the Patriarch of the Li clan. He understood a little about the origin of my grandfather and grandmother. Also, if you want to go there, then I have to ask the Patriarch of the Li.” clan Lin Yan spoke with a slightly doubtful tone as well.
“We understand. Then, there's something else we'd like to discuss with you right now. And I will start from the most important first.” The patriarch of the Gu clan spoke as he looked towards Gu Yin closely.
The Great Elders of the Gu clan also understood the same for Gu Shen, Gu Mien and Gu Lan.
“Why are you guys looking at me like that?” Gu Yin asked a little nervously as she knew which direction the conversation was going.
“You're still asking why we're staring at you like that? The Gu Clan is a specialist in that and you have lost your Yin Vital. Do we still have to explain again?” Gu Shen asked with a frown on his forehead as he looked towards his daughter then towards Lin Yan to look for her answer.
Lin Yan felt awkward at such a gaze by Gu Shen.
On the other hand, Huan Caiyi and Gu Yuena were stunned to hear him. Their mouths both opened and closed several times while staring towards Lin Yan and Gu Yin at any moment.
Gu Yin's face was flushed like a tomato at this moment because of course he felt very embarrassed. But, reimagining their hot sessions once a week, her face grew red as if she was about to drip blood.
“I'll explain this too.” Lin Yan opened his voice and told him what had happened to Gu Yin. They had to do it because it was very important for the development of Gu Yin using his qi.
Lin Yan's explanation made everyone shocked especially Gu Shen who instantly appeared in front of his daughter then examined Gu Yin's body carefully.
“This.. brother, you guys should see this..” Gu Shen was shocked as he examined his daughter.
The Patriarch and the Great Elder of the Gu clan were confused then examined Gu Yin in turn. After finishing, the three of them fell silent and looked at Lin Yan back with a serious expression.
“What happened?” Gu Mien asked in surprise to see the serious faces of the three brothers. Even Gu Lan was also very curious at this moment.
Clan patriarch Gu let out a long sigh then spoke, “You're right. The Yin'er Spiritual Root had changed completely. This had happened once in the history of the Gu clan in the very past. The Gu clan also has its own legends such as the Huan clan having geniuses with the title of King or Shadow Queen.”
“And in the Gu clan, in the past there were also those who were born with Spiritual Roots in black and produced Black Ice qi, despite not having any outstanding titles, as well, still the Gu clan was proud of having such a genius. From the ancient records of the Gu clan, it was noted that the owner of the Black Spiritual Root of the Gu clan always had an important task to fight something referred to as, Devil.”
