Chapter 185: Chapter 41 Reaction (4)
"First, the mistress of the Pei family personally invited us, and the banquet location is said to be the most prestigious Jade Bamboo Pavilion. What significant event has Brother Lin done to warrant such exceptional treatment from the Pei family?" Zhu Lingshan’s mind was filled with endless doubt and astonishment.
"Sister Zhu, please come in quickly, be careful of catching a chill."
Madam Pei spoke with concern as she approached and invited the group inside.
Zhu Lingshan finally mustered the courage to step into the pavilion. Although she didn’t understand the Pei family’s intentions, having Brother Lin around eased her nervousness somewhat.
Upon entering the pavilion, Lin Yuan had yet to arrive, and Madam Pei continuously engaged her in small talk while they waited.
"Brother, truly... why not inform me in advance? Did he break through some limit in alchemy and can now refine second-tier pills? But even so, would that lead the Pei family to treat him like this?" Zhu Lingshan was internally restless.
Madam Pei’s subservient attitude made her feel as though she were sitting on pins and needles, filled with anxiety.
Madam Pei, as the mistress of the Pei family, managed the family’s affairs with great authority and had seen countless people. She could tell that Zhu Lingshan was extremely uneasy. But how could she not be?
Never before had she lowered her stance to such a degree, yet she had no choice. Although this Sister Zhu was unaware, her future would be nothing short of prestigious as Lin Yuan’s concubine.
If she showed the slightest disrespect now, and Zhu Lingshan recalled this treatment later, it would spell disaster for the Pei family.
Now was the time for both sides to readjust to their positions. Zhu Lingshan would become lofty, and Madam Pei could only play the role of a submissive supporter.
Finally, after about an hour, footsteps were heard from outside.
Lin Yuan walked in front, followed by Pei Zeqi, Hou Sixian, and several high-ranking elders of the Pei family.
As soon as they turned past the screen and entered the hall, Zhu Lingshan had already seen his appearance. She nodded slightly to Madam Pei and hurried to Lin Yuan’s side.
"Brother Lin."
Zhu Lingshan finally saw Lin Yuan, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Sister, I’m sorry to keep you waiting." Lin Yuan smiled gently, patted her soft hand, and signaled for her to be at ease.
Pei Zeqi, seeing the two exchange greetings, quickly led Lin Yuan and the others to their seats.
Lin Yuan did not stand on ceremony and took the main seat, with Zhu Lingshan at his side.
"Brother, are we going to sit here?"
Zhu Lingshan was slightly stunned seeing Lin Yuan take the seat of honor without hesitation.
Considering that Pei Zeqi before them was a formidable expert of the Ninth Pin of the Condensing Yuan level, far superior to her by an entire major realm. No matter how quickly Lin Yuan had progressed in cultivation, how could he be so indifferent in front of such a strong figure?
Lin Yuan was momentarily surprised, realizing that Sister Zhu still didn’t understand his current level of strength, and he had an idea.
"Sister, do not worry. I can bear it. Eat heartily and enjoy yourself." Lin Yuan used energetic transmission to reassure her.
Receiving Lin Yuan’s reassurance, Zhu Lingshan remained somewhat doubtful, but with her husband’s words, she couldn’t say much.
Once everyone was seated.
Pei Zeqi and several elders took turns expressing gratitude.
Despite his ability to overpower everyone present, Lin Yuan was not someone who flaunted his talent proudly, expressing due respect to Pei Zeqi and others.
After trading toasts, Zhu Lingshan and Xiaoyun naturally claimed ’not able to hold their liquor,’ and accompanied by Madam Pei, retired to the inner hall, leaving Lin Yuan and Pei Zeqi to continue their conversation.
It wasn’t until she was leaving that Zhu Lingshan realized how extraordinary her husband truly was.
With a mere flick of the hand, he could vanquish the existence of the Ninth Pin of the Condensing Yuan. What’s more, he had wiped out the Hong family’s upper echelon in one fell swoop, helping the Pei family turn defeat into victory, enabling them to become the ruler of Yanghua.
And Lin Yuan had become an existence above all martial artists in Yanghua.
Hearing this news, Zhu Lingshan was in a daze.
Recalling when she first met Lin Yuan, he was merely a young man from a remote village participating in a selection.
Yet, in half a year, he was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with, or even surpass, the top figures of Yanghua, like the family head of the Pei family, something truly unbelievable.
The same coarse clothes and the same face, as if everything had changed, yet nothing had.
Zhu Lingshan felt dizzy as if she were dreaming. The mistress of the Pei family was smiling ingratiatingly in front of her, something she never dared to imagine before.
And all of this was brought about by Lin Yuan.
The Brother she loved most, who used his fists to carve out a sky for her, providing her with a peaceful and stable life.
"Brother, he actually did it!" Zhu Lingshan was silently moved and, if the timing were right, she wished she could hug him tightly and never let go.
On the other side, after Zhu Lingshan left, it wasn’t long before...
After Pei Zeqi and the others finished their words of thanks, Lin Yuan, tipsy from the wine, smiled and said, "Family Head Pei, earlier we mentioned the incident of Yang Diancang seizing the second-tier pill recipe."
Upon hearing about the second-tier pill recipe, Pei Zeqi and the others tensed up.
If Lin Yuan didn’t bring it up, they could only bear with it, considering it a gift to Lin Yuan for peace of mind.
But after spending so much money and effort to obtain the second-tier pill recipe, claiming they didn’t want it was self-deception.
Pei Zeqi immediately gathered his courage and probed, "Master Lin, not only is your martial prowess profound, but your alchemy skills are also unparalleled. Master Ding is deceased, and among the three Hall Masters of the Eastern, Southern, and Western Halls, two have perished."
"In terms of alchemical ability, few can compare to Master Lin. Letting Master Lin oversee the second-tier pill recipe is most appropriate."
Pei Zeqi took a step back, not mentioning the ownership of the second-tier pill recipe, only saying it would be managed and used by Lin Yuan. If Lin Yuan named the recipe, the Pei family would only have to give it away.
Lin Yuan smiled, having already made up his mind regarding the disposition of the pill recipe.
Considering that the Golden Cloud Pill recipe was the fruit of the Pei family’s efforts, he had no intention of seizing it entirely, especially since he would need the Pei family’s support in the future.
Lin Yuan set down his cup and smiled, "Family Head Pei, during the Hong family’s uprising, the Pei family’s pill masters suffered heavy losses. As for the second-tier Golden Cloud Pill, aside from Master Ding, others may find it difficult to refine."
Lin Yuan paused briefly before stating his thoughts, "I, Lin Yuan, am unskilled but wish to attempt refining the Golden Cloud Pill. If successful, I will return the Golden Cloud Pill recipe to the Pei family and offer to refine second-tier pills for the Pei family. The resulting second-tier pills will be split fifty-fifty with the Pei family. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Pei Zeqi was overjoyed.
Lin Yuan was already a first-tier top-grade Pill Master. Without the Hong family incident, they also aimed to send Lin Yuan to train under Master Ding.
Pei Zeqi understood the dual meaning of Lin Yuan’s words.
The second-tier pills would only be available to the Pei family once Lin Yuan successfully refined them, and the materials for the second-tier pills would be provided by the Pei family.
As for collaboration, once Lin Yuan advanced to the second tier, alchemical cooperation would naturally follow.
With Lin Yuan’s proposal, it resulted in a win-win situation.
Pei Zeqi, without hesitation, decisively responded, "In this matter, we entirely rely on Pill Master Lin’s judgment."
Lin Yuan nodded, "It’s settled then."
After this conversation, the relationship between both parties became even more harmonious.
The respectful gaze from Pei Zeqi and the others showed even more gratitude.
About an hour later, after the banquet concluded, Lin Yuan finally returned to his small abode.
In the house, besides the unchanged layout of the inner hall, the main hall had been completely refurbished, with the Pei family having meticulously arranged everything.
Every necessity involving living essentials was prepared and in place.
Upon their return, seeing the crowd of people waiting in the courtyard, they were extremely unaccustomed. Even Xiaoyun had two maids assigned to attend to her.
"Sister, I’ll leave it to you to handle." Lin Yuan had minimal requirements for household affairs, valuing loyalty above all.
Entering the inner courtyard, he immediately submerged himself in the quiet chamber, preparing to cultivate.
After all, to deal with the recent crisis, he had spent days by Zhu Lingshan’s side to ensure her safety, leading to several days without serious cultivation.
