“So impressive!”
“I never expected Young Master Lin Yun’s sculpting skills to be so superb.” Several maids in the courtyard were all stunned by this stone sculpture.
“Yun’er, where did you learn this sculpting skill from? It’s amazing.” Yan Shi also walked to the front of the stone sculpture and gazed at it in admiration.
Even though she did not understand stone carving, she could still see its extraordinary quality at a glance.
“Uh, you can think of it as something the child was born knowing how to do.” Lin Yun gave an awkward smile.
Lin Yun continued smiling: “Mother, this sculpture is a gift for you. In the future, when the child is not by your side and you miss me, let it keep you company.”
“Yun’er, you are not going far away again.” Yan Shi smiled warmly.
“The child will definitely go out to explore the world in the future. This world is so vast.” Lin Yun grinned.
“Yes, when you grow up, you will eventually go out to make your way.” Yan Shi sighed.
At that moment, Lin Guangde walked into Yi Garden from outside.
“Master!”
“Father.”
Yan Shi and Lin Yun both bowed to Lin Guangde.
“I have been very busy these two months and have not had time to come and see you. Yun’er, how has your progress been in these two months? You should have reached the second tier of the Void Shattering Realm by now, right?” Lin Guangde asked.
Last time, Lin Guangde had given Lin Yun a batch of resources. He believed that in two months, reaching the second tier of the Void Shattering Realm should be no issue for Lin Yun.
“Father, I have not cultivated my realm in these two months.” Lin Yun said.
“Oh? Why is that?” Lin Guangde showed a puzzled expression.
In Lin Guangde’s view, Lin Yun was extremely diligent. How could he not have cultivated?
Yan Shi beside him quickly explained for Lin Yun: “Master, Yun’er stayed on White Cloud Mountain for eleven years and put in a lot of effort and sweat. Let him rest for a while first. Do not push him too hard.”
“That is fine too.” Lin Guangde nodded.
It was just that Lin Guangde’s expectations for Lin Yun felt a bit unfulfilled in his heart.
He had thought Lin Yun would be cultivating desperately during these two months.
“By the way, Master, how has the matter with the Wei family been handled in these two months?” Yan Shi asked.
Upon hearing this, Lin Guangde’s face was full of worry.
“It is very troublesome. I sought out many people, even the city lord. I gave him many benefits and asked him to help mediate. He took the money and promised to mediate, telling me to wait for news.” Lin Guangde said.
“Has there been any news?” Yan Shi followed up.
“Yesterday the city lord summoned me. He said he had helped mediate and proposed a compromise solution.” Lin Guangde said.
“What solution?” Yan Shi asked.
Lin Yun was also a bit curious about what mediation solution the city lord had given.
“According to the city lord’s mediation, the Wei family is willing to take a step back. On the Full Moon Festival, our Lin family and the Wei family will have two rounds of confrontation. If our Lin family wins one round, the Wei family will no longer trouble us in the future.” Lin Guangde said.
“Father, what does two rounds of confrontation mean?” Lin Yun followed up.
“The first round: the Lin family and the Wei family each send out young members under a hundred years old to confront on the Full Moon Festival until one side wins.”
“The second round: both sides send out any strong members from the family to confront until one side wins.”
“If our Lin family wins one of these two rounds, all past grievances will be wiped clean.”
Lin Guangde explained the two rounds in detail to Lin Yun and Yan Shi.
“This plan seems a bit better than the previous one.” Yan Shi said.
Two months ago, on the day Lin Yun returned, the Wei family head had come to the Lin family to issue a challenge.
At that time, the bald Wei family head’s original words were that he wanted to have an open fight with Lin Guangde on the Full Moon Festival. If Lin Guangde lost, the Lin family would have to leave White Heron City.
The Wei family head was now at the Dominion Realm, one major realm higher than Lin Guangde. Under normal circumstances, Lin Guangde had no chance of winning.
That was the previous plan.
So the current plan did seem a bit better than before.
Lin Guangde’s face was sombre: “The current plan seems better than before, but in reality, there is not much difference. The second round is still essentially me fighting the Wei family head. My chances of winning are almost zero. I can only pin my hopes on the first round confrontation.”
“But the Wei family head has a son in his thirties with excellent talent. If I am not mistaken, his son should have already reached the Body Fusion Realm. On our side, among those under a hundred years old who can participate, there is only Lin Wei. Wei’er has always been playful. Against the Wei family head’s youngest son, our hopes are similarly slim.” Lin Guangde shook his head and sighed.
