Dragon Monarch
Chapter 402 - History of Lin Ming and Lin Xi
Li Clan
Lin Yan's gaze was fixed on the old man whom he had already assumed to be the current Patriarch of the Li Clan. He was simply unable to measure the strength of the Patriarch of the Li Clan even after he used the King's Eye.
“This old man is very strong.” Inner Lin Yan.
Even for Xia Yue'er to be able to feel the faint pressure from the Patriarch of the Li Clan even though the old man did not take out his qi at all.
“Patriak, this is the thing you want.” Li Xu initially stood up and bowed towards the Li Clan Patriarch directly speaking and handed the space ring to the Li Clan Patriarch.
“Good work, Li Xu. Come back first. You can rest for a week after doing a mission that is most likely you will be attacked by cultivators who intend to rob the thing I want.” The Patriarch of the Li Clan gave a small nod and rewarded Li Xu.
Li Xu was pleased that the Patriarch of the Li Clan praised him. That was what made all the members of the Li Clan respect the Patriarch of the Li Clan because he remembered all the names of his Clan members even for the branch Clan members. Also, he always greeted all the Clan members and considered all the Clan members as his family members.
That was what made there never any discord between the Clan members because the attitude of the Patriarch of the Li Clan was all equal towards his Clan members.
After Li Xu left, the Patriarch of the Li Clan stared at Lin Yan closely then let Lin Yan sit back. Naturally he could see Xia Yue'er who was sitting on Lin Yan's shoulder by folding her two tiny arms in front of his chest.
“It.. World Spirit Fairy!” The inner Patriarch of the Li Clan possessed an extremely vast knowledge.
After sitting down, the Patriarch of the Li Clan immediately spoke, “I already guessed that you are Lin Yan, the young man that Hao’er said. He said that you were the highest genius he had ever seen during his time as a cultivator.”
“You flatter me too much Mr. Patriarch.” said Lin Yan with a small smile.
“But this is reality. In the Li Clan, Hao’er was the highest talent ever so he was sent to the Saint Continent. Otherwise, he would have remained in the Northern Mainland because here, there must have been very many cultivators eyeing him.” The Li Clan Patriarch said back.
Lin Yan did not extend the argument, he immediately asked his goal of coming to the Li Clan, “Then, where is Li Hao currently?”
“He is cultivating at the moment. And the thing that Li Xu brought to this place was a valuable resource to increase his cultivation to the level of the Emperor Realm. Also, there are some other resources that will be used by him. If you intend to wait for him, maybe in a few days Hao’er will finish cultivating.”, Clan Patriarch Li said.
Lin Yan nodded small and did not mind at all. Aside from meeting Li Hao, naturally he aimed to meet the Patriarch of the Li Clan as well.
“Can you give me some information?” Asked Lin Yan staring seriously towards the Patriarch of the Li Clan.
Lin Yan took a deep breath then replied, “Information about the whereabouts of Lin Ming and Lin Xi.”
The eyes of the Patriarch of the Li Clan narrowed instantly and thought about those two mighty figures. He knew that the two legends of the Lin Clan had disappeared for a long time before returning to the Saint Continent. After that, Lin Yan was also from the Lin Clan so he immediately made a speculation about Lin Yan's identity in just a few seconds.
“I did not expect that the two legends of the Lin Clan would have grandchildren.” said the Patriarch of the Li Clan first which made Lin Yan surprised as the Patriarch of the Li Clan directly deduced his identity.
“If you want to know the whereabouts of Lin Ming and Lin Xi, it's good that you come to the Lin Clan. But, what made me a little curious, his only son Lin Ming and Lin Xi had perished. I didn't intend to make him wonder why I was saying this. But, you must understand that you must recognize your identity as well.” The Patriarch of the Li Clan spoke with slightly mysterious words.
But Lin Yan immediately understood what the Patriarch of the Li Clan meant even though he felt a little sad because he had expected from the past that he was only adopted by his grandfather and grandmother.
“Thank you for confirming my current speculation. That's why I want to see my grandparents. Before that, I want to ask, what are the sons of my grandparents?” Asked Lin Yan back.
Patriarch Li was silent for a while and looked towards Lin Yan closely. Not long after, he also took the decision to say everything because it seemed that Lin Yan was mature enough to think and also Lin Yan was still calm when he said about his identity which he suspected that Lin Yan was indeed adopted by Lin Ming and Lin Xi.
“The son of Lin Ming and Lin Xi was named Lin Diao, he was a strong cultivator who reached the peak like Lin Ming in a very short time. I thought that it was a bloodline factor because Lin Ming's parents in ancient times were also like that.” The Patriarch of the Li Clan explained slowly and stopped for a while.
Not long after, the Patriarch of the Li Clan continued, “However, his speed growing made some great powers also feel threatened. And finally, some peak cultivators intended to finish off Lin Diao.”
“When he was framed, Lin Diao was killed in a big fight that was also followed by Lin Ming. At that very instant, the Old Ancestor of the Han Empire fell in Lin Ming's hands. If only all the great powers did not stop that fight, it was certain that the Han Empire would be completely damaged.”
“After that incident, Lin Ming and Lin Xi looked to be getting older in a very fast time. No word from them in a very long time. Then, important news was heard later that said that Lin Ming and Lin Xi were stepping down from the post of Martial Master and quitting the realm of cultivators.” The Patriarch of the Li Clan told the story of Lin Ming, Lin Xi and Lin Diao.
Hearing that story, Lin Yan simply clenched his hands tightly and understood why his grandparents ended up in the Northern Mainland. It was to forget about Lin Diao's murder and finally they found him somehow the story then stayed in the Northern Mainland to take care of him.
“Avperial Han!” Inner Lin Yan. Although he was holding back his anger, his King Qi was still slowly seeping out slowly.
The staring Patriarch of the Li Clan raised his eyebrows slightly then smiled as he felt that Lin Yan's attitude was very similar to Lin Ming when he was young. Although the two did not have a bloodline relationship, it seemed that Lin Yan imitated Lin Ming a lot.
“Then, can you tell me the last thing I want to know? I won't ask where my grandparents are right now because maybe what I'm asking will show them where in person. Why did my grandfather and grandmother return to the Lin Clan all of a sudden?” Asked Lin Yan while suppressing his anger towards the Han Empire.
The question Lin Yan had heard by the Patriarch of the Li Clan made him sigh long because it was true what Lin Yan had said that the reason for Lin Ming and Lin Xi's return was also where they were at present.
