Harboring a confused expression, Lin Dong got up early the next morning.
As soon as he arrived at the hall, Lin Dong was surprised to find that, in addition to Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao, even Lin Ken, Lin Mang, Lin Qingtan, Lin Qingxia, and almost all the core important figures of the Lin Family were present.
Moreover, from the dusty faces of Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and others, it was not difficult to see that Lin Zhentian must have summoned them overnight.
Such a big show, just to take the initiative to welcome that so-called Young Clan Leader?
Just then, Lin Xiao suddenly patted Lin Dong's shoulder. Lin Dong turned his head to look, and heard Lin Xiao say.
"Dong'er, later, you stand by your grandfather's side with me, understand?"
Lin Xiao had just finished speaking when he saw a guard running in quickly and reporting to Lin Zhentian.
"Clan Leader, they are almost here!"
"Let's go, follow me to the gate to greet them!"
Lin Zhentian's face also showed a bit of excitement upon hearing this. Although Lin Dong was a little puzzled, seeing his grandfather's expression, he had no choice but to follow behind him.
Just as he walked to the front of the manor gate, Lin Dong saw a huge team of dozens of people approaching.
Within that huge team, Lin Dong could sense the aura of many Core Formation Realm experts, and Old Man Tao, whom he had met the previous evening, was standing at the front of the team at this moment. Beside him were three people with similar strength to him.
Not only Old Man Tao, but also the four youths he had met yesterday were standing at the front.
Suddenly, Lin Dong's pupils shrank, staring at the young man walking at the very front, and a dignified look flashed in his heart.
That young man, dressed in coarse white clothes, looked unremarkable. At least, when Lin Dong first observed him, he would always subconsciously ignore him.
However, when Lin Dong's gaze locked onto that young man, he realized that he could not sense the other party's aura at all, as if he did not exist in this world.
But upon careful sensing, he would find that it seemed that the aura of that person was everywhere in this world.
The reason why that person was ignored was not because he was too ordinary, but because he was too extraordinary, so ordinary people could not notice him at all.
Just as Lin Dong was in a daze, he suddenly felt his arm being pulled. Lin Dong turned his head to look, only to see his father Lin Xiao glance at him before walking forward directly.
At this time, Lin Dong noticed that his grandfather Lin Zhentian had already taken the initiative to go out to meet them, and immediately followed Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao's footsteps.
"Lin Zhentian of the Flame City branch family, pays respects to the Young Clan Leader!"
"You're too kind!"
Facing Lin Zhentian's enthusiasm, Lin Xuan was not surprised. To use an inappropriate example, he was equivalent to an ancient crown prince on tour.
After simply cupping his fist in response, Lin Xuan also turned his gaze to Lin Xiao, who was beside him. Lin Xiao, seeing this, quickly saluted.
"Lin Xiao of the Flame City branch family, greets the Young Clan Leader, and thanks the Young Clan Leader for saving my life back then. If the Young Clan Leader hadn't personally taken action, I'm afraid Lin Xiao would have been a cripple!"
"No need, back then, as the chief judge of the clan gathering, maintaining clan rules was my duty. Whether it is the main family or the branch family, we are all members of the Lin Clan. How can there be any reason to kill each other at the clan gathering?"
Lin Xuan shook his head. The reason he took action back then was not because the other party was called Lin Xiao and had a son called Lin Dong, but because Lin Langtian had gone too far.
Lin Dong, who was on the side, had a look of astonishment flash in his eyes after hearing Lin Xiao and Lin Xuan's words.
Lin Dong did not expect that this so-called Young Clan Leader in front of him was actually the person who saved his father back then, and judging from his tone, he did not seem to be on the same side as Lin Langtian.
Just as Lin Dong was thinking, he suddenly felt a gaze looking at him. Lin Dong also raised his head to meet it, and saw a pair of very calm eyes, sizing him up.
However, within this calmness, Lin Dong felt as if everything about him had been seen through by the other party, with no secrets left.
Even, Lin Dong could feel that the other party's gaze lingered on the mysterious stone talisman within his body for quite some time.
This feeling made Lin Dong's heart hang in suspense, his entire being tensed up, and even his breathing became somewhat disordered due to excessive nervousness.
In the next moment, a large hand silently landed on Lin Dong's shoulder, and immediately afterward, Lin Dong felt that his emotions were instantly calmed down.
Looking at the somewhat nervous Lin Dong, Lin Xuan also restrained his curiosity, smiling as he patted the other's shoulder, and said.
"Your opportunity is quite good, but it is not my opportunity!"
As a swordsman, once one embarks on the path of the sword, one will never betray it. Although the Ancestral Stone is good, to Lin Xuan, even if he obtained it, it would be like chicken ribs, useless to eat, and a pity to discard.
Since this is the case, it is better to leave it to those who need it. As for who needs it, that depends on the opportunities of others.
And upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Lin Dong was shocked. Lin Xuan's words were undoubtedly telling him that he had seen the mysterious stone talisman within his body?
"I hope you won't bury it!"
After patting Lin Dong's shoulder, Lin Xuan also glanced meaningfully at the location of the Ancestral Stone within Lin Dong's body, and then, he also took the initiative to step inside.
Watching Lin Xuan's back, the stormy waves in Lin Dong's heart slowly calmed down. Although the mysterious stone talisman had been seen through, fortunately, the Young Clan Leader did not seem to have any ideas about the mysterious stone talisman.
However, just as Lin Dong followed, walking beside Lin Xiao, and heading towards the manor, Little Marten's voice rang in Lin Dong's mind.
"Damn, where did this monster come from? This daddy Marten hid so deeply, yet this monster dug me out? This is really spooky!"
"What? Little Marten, do you mean, the Young Clan Leader also discovered you?"
Hearing Little Marten's words, Lin Dong's heart also trembled. Although the origin of the mysterious stone talisman seemed extremely extraordinary, compared to the mysterious stone talisman, Lin Dong valued more, and was more worried about, the Little Marten who answered every question, rather than the mysterious stone talisman that could not respond to him.
"Yes, that guy is simply a pervert. This daddy Marten hid so deeply, yet he still dragged me out. No, how could such a monster appear in such a small shabby place like your Great Yan Dynasty?"
Recalling the special sense of oppression that had just rushed into the mysterious stone talisman, Little Marten's heart was filled with a sense of dread. Originally, he thought that the mysterious stone talisman was a tortoise shell, which could save his life at a critical moment, but now it seemed that this tortoise shell was leaking air.
