"Grandpa!"
Lin Dong rushed towards Lin Zhentian.
"Dong'er, why are you here?"
Lin Xiao and the other elders looked at Lin Dong. This kid barged in recklessly, completely disregarding the rules. The adults were in the middle of a discussion.
"Whatever it is, you can say it later," Lin Xiao was about to step forward and pull Lin Dong away.
However, Lin Dong ignored them. He walked up to Lin Zhentian and quickly said, "Grandpa, I know you're discussing Ironwood Manor and the Yang Yuan Stone mine. I'm here for that very reason."
Lin Dong glanced at the seven or eight uncles present. He seemed to feel there were too many people to share a secret, so he whispered,
"Grandpa, can we talk aside for a moment!"
The faces of the elders present immediately turned unpleasant.
What could he possibly need to hide from them?
"Dong'er, don't be rude!" Lin Xiao immediately reprimanded him.
Lin Ken shook his head and chuckled, "This child..."
"You're just a junior who just broke through to the Earthly Yuan Realm. Coming here to meddle in family affairs, isn't this just making trouble?" Lin Mang couldn't help but sneer.
Being looked at like this by the elders, Lin Dong's face flushed red. He said somewhat excitedly, "Second Uncle, I broke through to the Earthly Yuan Realm several months ago. Now I'm at the late Earthly Yuan Realm, not far from you."
As he spoke, Lin Dong released his Origin Power, fully displaying his late Earthly Yuan Realm strength.
This surprised everyone. In just three or four months, Lin Dong had gone from the early to the late Earthly Yuan Realm. This talent was truly terrifying.
However, Lin Dong's mouth curved up, and he continued, "Perhaps my strength isn't convincing enough, but I'm here to deliver a message on behalf of Brother Lin Yun. Brother Lin Yun has already broken through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm. His words should carry some weight, right?"
Lin Dong's words were like a sudden clap of thunder, startling everyone in the hall. Some of the elders even crushed the teacups in their hands.
"What? Lin Yun has already broken through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm?"
"When did he break through? Such a joyous occasion, why didn't he say anything?"
"Our Lin family has another Heavenly Yuan Realm expert. This is too timely."
"I heard from Xia'er that Lin Yun went out for training a month ago. Has he come home? Where is he?"
"Breaking through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm in such a short time, he's a monster."
Looking at the elders' changing expressions, Lin Dong took a deep breath and said calmly, "Brother Lin Yun is busy doing something important for the family outside."
Everyone felt a bit awkward.
"Ahem." Lin Zhentian cleared his throat. "Dong'er, what message did Yun'er ask you to bring? Is it about Ironwood Manor?"
Lin Dong said seriously, "Grandpa, Brother Lin Yun asked me to tell you alone. As for whether to tell the uncles, you can decide."
"Alright, come with me to the back hall!"
The two entered the back hall. Lin Dong immediately told Lin Zhentian the news that the Fire Python Tiger and the two leopards were Lin Yun's pet beasts.
"Is that true?!"
After hearing this, Lin Zhentian was filled with shock and disbelief.
Those were three Heavenly Yuan Realm level demonic beasts.
He found it incredibly hard to believe that there was someone behind these three beasts, and even harder to believe that person was his grandson.
Lin Dong had expected this reaction. He was also amazed by Brother Lin Yun's actions. He immediately explained, "Grandpa, weren't you wondering how I discovered the Fire Python Tiger twice before and went to report to the Lei family? That was me and Brother Lin Yun setting up the Lei and Xie Families."
"Now, Brother Lin Yun has already occupied Ironwood Manor with his demonic beasts. If you still don't believe it, you'll know once you go and see."
Lin Zhentian no longer hesitated. "Alright, we'll head to Ironwood Manor now."
Returning to the main hall, Lin Zhentian immediately gave the order to gather the Lin family's elite team and quickly set off for Ironwood Manor.
Lin Ken and the others were curious about what Lin Dong had told Lin Zhentian that made him so confident.
However, Lin Zhentian offered no explanation, instructing everyone to strictly follow his orders.
Before long, Lin Zhentian personally led a team and rushed towards Ironwood Manor without stopping.
Half a day later! They arrived at Ironwood Manor.
Because they set off quickly, there was no one around Ironwood Manor yet. The scouts sent by other forces were not as fast as them.
The group stopped in front of the manor, not daring to enter rashly.
Inside, Lin Yun had already detected the arrival of the Lin family.
He immediately walked to the entrance.
"Grandpa, you're finally here!" Lin Yun waved enthusiastically, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and called out warmly, "Come in quickly."
"Lin Yun, you're actually here!"
"Where's the Black Iron Demon Leopard?"
Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and the others were filled with shock and questions.
Lin Yun looked at them and said with a smile, "The Black Iron Demon Leopard and the Fire Python Tiger fought, both were injured, and I got a bargain. Now Ironwood Manor is ownerless. When our Lin family moves in, it will belong to our Lin family."
This was the explanation he had prepared long ago.
The three beasts were injured from fighting among themselves, then rescued by their Lin family and tamed.
This way, the three beasts could openly move around within the Lin family in the future.
And the previous actions of the three beasts would have nothing to do with the Lin family or Lin Yun.
In the eyes of others, it would appear that the Lin family had stumbled upon a great fortune! Lin Yun did this primarily for legitimacy.
With a plausible reason and logic, no one would know about his prior arrangements with the Lei and Xie Families.
He was still that pure, focused cultivation otaku, not some mastermind pulling strings from behind the scenes.
As for whether anyone would be suspicious, it didn't matter.
His strength was evident; if you were suspicious, come and challenge him.
The Lin family members entered Ironwood Manor with uneasy hearts.
Their gazes towards Lin Yun were filled with curiosity and confusion.
Upon entering the manor and confirming there were no other people, Lin Ken couldn't wait to ask,
"Where are the bodies of those three beasts?"
Lin Yun was startled, "Bodies? What bodies?"
"Didn't you say they fought among themselves and you got a bargain?" Lin Ken retorted.
Lin Yun smiled, "I said I got a bargain, not that I killed them. I took the opportunity to capture them and lock them up. I'm currently nursing their injuries and preparing to tame them later."
"What? You want to tame them?"
Several people looked at Lin Yun as if he were crazy.
In their opinion, those were Heavenly Yuan Realm level demonic beasts, and adult demonic beasts were the hardest to tame, even practically impossible.
"Where's Qing Tan? You took her out for training, where is she?" Lin Xiao remembered his daughter and immediately pressed for an answer.
Lin Yun said, "She's with a few demonic beasts!"
"Nonsense! How could you let Qing Tan stay with such dangerous demonic beasts?" Lin Xiao immediately became anxious; that was his precious daughter.
"Don't get agitated, Yun'er isn't that careless." Lin Zhentian immediately restrained the restless Lin Xiao.
"That's right, Lin Yun is perfectly fine here, so Qing Tan must be okay. Don't yell at Lin Yun," Lin Mang also chimed in with soothing words.
He also wanted to ease the tension in his relationship with Lin Yun.
Initially, because his two sons were beaten by Lin Yun, he had harbored resentment towards Lin Yun and almost wanted to teach him a lesson.
Fortunately, he didn't do that at the time.
Now, he had no dissatisfaction with Lin Yun whatsoever. Just the fact that Lin Yun stood up for his two sons when they were bullied by the Xie family was enough to change his opinion of Lin Yun.
Not to mention that Lin Yun had done so much for the family and had rapidly grown into a strong practitioner at the same realm as him. It was only a matter of time before he surpassed him.
He didn't want to have any rift with this outstanding junior.
"Grandpa, you guys come with me."
Lin Yun immediately led Lin Zhentian and the other four Heavenly Yuan Realm experts, as well as Lin Dong, towards the depths of Ironwood Manor.
They were the core figures of the Lin family, and some matters could be made known to them, which would facilitate Lin Yun's actions in the future.
Upon arriving at the mine vein, the six beasts resting on the ground immediately stood up to greet Lin Yun when they saw him bringing people back.
*"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"*
The six beasts greeted in unison, and the sudden roars startled Lin Zhentian and the others.
