Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, inside a certain cave dwelling.
Lin Tianming and Ye Pinghai were sitting in a courtyard, having rushed over after receiving Lin Tianming’s message, Lin Shigong also arrived.
The three exchanged greetings and subsequently sat down for a tea and idle chat.
Ye Pinghai picked up the teacup and took a light sip, then looked at Lin Tianming and said, “Tian Ming, the great battle with the Golden Sword Sect has ended, has Xi’er returned?”
Hearing the question, Lin Tianming replied, “Thank you, Grandpa Sea, for your concern!”
“Xi’er returned to our territory two months ago and will come to pay her respects to you in a couple of days!”
“Um…”
Ye Pinghai nodded in satisfaction, his expression extremely kind. He was clearly very concerned about Qin Xi.
Following this, Ye Pinghai continued to inquire: “According to the schedule, in a little over a month, the Golden Core Gathering will take place to allocate the interests of the major powers, right?”
“Grandpa Sea’s foresight is like divination!”
Lin Tianming complimented with a smile, then continued, “One reason for my visit today is to pay respect to you, Elder!”
“The other is to convey Third Grandfather’s request, pleading for you to depart with me to meet at the Qingshui Market.”
Upon hearing Lin Tianming’s words, Ye Pinghai smiled, having somewhat anticipated this.
After all, if Lin Tianming could fathom the reasons, Ye Pinghai, with a hundred years of cultivation experience, was also a person of deep insight and strategy.
With careful thought, he could understand the depth of Lin Shikang’s intentions.
In fact, he had been prepared in his heart, merely waiting for the senior members of the Lin Family to come forward and speak of it.
Now that Lin Tianming and his grandson had come together, he was already prepared to set out.
Thus, naturally, he would not decline.
Therefore, Ye Pinghai nodded and replied, “Your Third Grandfather requests, and you and your grandson visit me in person; even if I were busier, how could I have the reason to refuse?”
“Tell me… when do you plan to depart?”
Hearing Ye Pinghai’s decisive response, both Lin Tianming and Lin Shigong showed joy.
“Grandpa Sea, we still have plenty of time; how about we agree to set out in ten days?” Lin Tianming pondered for a moment and replied.
“Good… that’s settled then!”
“Let’s prepare these few days and gather at the Sect Entrance Plaza early morning in ten days!”
Ye Pinghai responded with a smile, and the two set a specific time for departure.
Subsequently, Lin Tianming and the two others sat together, chatting leisurely for quite a while.
Half an hour later, the grandfather and grandson bid farewell to Ye Pinghai and headed to the Clan Elders’ Assembly.
There, they met with Lin Shihua, who was busy handling family affairs.
The three exchanged information, confirming Lin Shikang’s arrangements and mentioning the departure date for Lin Tianming and his grandson.
At the same time, Lin Tianming also brought up an emergency plan, wanting to make comprehensive preparations to deal with any potential crises.
After a discussion, the three tentatively decided on several important actions.
First, the family would immediately mobilize to strengthen patrols around the territory and all major Spirit Lands, readying for any potential battles that might arise.
From Foundation Establishment Cultivators to Qi Refinement Initial Stage Clan Members, unless necessary, everyone was to be on standby.
Second, the family Treasure Vault would allocate a portion of war resources, mainly involving elixirs, consumable Attack Treasures, and some Spirit Instruments to bolster the core strength of the family.
Doing so was also meant to strengthen their overall power in the face of any potential battles that might occur.
Third, was the retraction of some external forces to form several teams to respond to crises.
With these decisions set, Lin Shihua also busied himself, committing all his energy to strategizing.
Lin Tianming and his grandson did not stay long at the Elders’ Council and soon left, hurrying to Ren Yuxuan’s cave dwelling.
Qin Xi had also arrived earlier, specially to visit her mother, Ren Yuxuan.
With Lin Tianming and his grandson gathering, only Lin Xingrong and Lin Tianyue, father and daughter, were outside executing clan tasks.
Although the family was not completely together, Ren Yuxuan had always been quite worried about her daughter-in-law, Qin Xi, having not seen her for many years.
Now that Qin Xi had returned safely, not only gaining astonishing battle achievements but also seeing her cultivation soar, her Foundation Establishment Eighth Level Peak Stage placed her as the first among the Lin Family clansmen beneath the Golden Core Stage.
Such talent and strength, combined with her nation-upsetting beauty, as well as her gentle, virtuous, and courteous demeanor, naturally left Ren Yuxuan extremely pleased.
Now that her daughter-in-law had come to visit, Ren Yuxuan was overjoyed, her face always adorned with a smile.
Afterward, she kept holding Qin Xi’s hand, inquiring warmly, leaving no time to concern herself with Lin Tianming, the elder or the younger.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming and his grandson could only smile wryly, finally sitting in the yard to chat.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, Ren Yuxuan then busied herself with Qin Xi to prepare an abundant meal for everyone.
After finishing the noon meal, Lin Tianming and the others sat together, chatting for half an hour, during which they talked about many of Qin Xi’s experiences abroad.
However, due to the elders’ concerns, Qin Xi only spoke of those simple and safe missions, and never mentioned any dangerous or bloody scenes.
This warm and harmonious atmosphere, along with some vivid and interesting experiences, surprised and delighted the two elders, Ren Yuxuan and Lin Shigong.
As time slowly passed, Lin Tianming and the others chatted for a long while.
This gathering finally drew to a close, and after exchanging farewells, they left to attend to their own affairs.
Lin Tianming and his wife said goodbye to Lin Shigong and then headed straight back to their own cave dwelling.
In the next few days, the couple did not retreat for cultivation.
