Meanwhile.
Elf Clan, Heavenly Saint City, within the grand hall of the palace.
The Elf Clan Leader had already received word from the Sixth Prince and learned everything that had happened at Chaos Square.
“I truly did not expect this. Besides the rescue from our Elf Clan, two Golden Supremes and powerful experts from the Orc Clan also stepped forward to save him. This Lin Yun is no ordinary man.” The Clan Leader smiled as he spoke.
Having heard all the details, the Elf Clan Leader grew even more certain that Lin Yun was the one he had been seeking.
“Clan Leader, if we successfully form a marriage alliance with Lin Yun and become one family, we will also gain the Orc Clan as an ally, along with two Golden Supreme allies from the Human Clan. This would be immensely profitable.” A trusted aide beside him remarked.
For the Elf Clan, this was a rare and precious opportunity.
Especially the prospect of allying with the Orc Clan. How vital that would be.
“Indeed. The key to everything lies with Lin Yun.” The Clan Leader nodded.
The Elf Clan Leader became even more resolute in his choice of Lin Yun.
Moreover, this time two Supremes from the six great powers had fallen, so Lin Yun and those six powers were now mortal enemies.
That only made Lin Yun more trustworthy in their eyes.
…
One and a half months later.
Within the grand hall of the palace in Heavenly Saint City.
Lin Yun and the Sixth Prince arrived in the hall.
“Father, I have brought Lin Yun back.” The Sixth Prince bowed to the Elf Clan Leader.
“Clan Leader.” Lin Yun also bowed at once to the figure ahead.
“Lin Yun, I already know everything about your situation. Your performance has far exceeded my expectations.” The Clan Leader said with a warm smile.
“You flatter me, Clan Leader. This time the Elf Clan came to my aid, so I am the one who should express gratitude.” Lin Yun clasped his fists in thanks.
“You are the future son-in-law of our Elf Royal Clan. Naturally the Elf Clan had to save you.” The Clan Leader replied.
At those words, Lin Yun could not help feeling somewhat awkward.
It felt rather like being pushed into something whether he was ready or not.
“Clan Leader, the Sixth Prince has already explained the matter of the marriage alliance to me. However, for something like this, I would still like to consider it carefully.” Lin Yun said.
“You still need to consider it? What, do you feel Zi Tong is not worthy of you?” The Clan Leader asked gravely.
“Of course that is not what I mean.” Lin Yun hurriedly waved his hand.
“Then are you saying you have no feelings for Zi Tong? Or that you are unwilling to become son-in-law to our Elf Clan?” The Clan Leader continued.
“Clan Leader, I also need to know Zi Tong’s own wishes.” Lin Yun gave an embarrassed smile.
“Very well. This matter can be discussed between the two of you. I will not force it. I have already sent word to Zi Tong, and she will arrive shortly.” The Clan Leader said.
He went on, “But understand one thing. Only if you become son-in-law to our Elf Clan will we grant you our most precious resources and inheritances.”
“I understand.” Lin Yun nodded.
Just then, Zi Tong’s graceful figure appeared from outside.
“Lin Yun, I am so glad you made it out of Chaos City alive.” The moment she saw Lin Yun, Zi Tong’s face lit up with a radiant smile.
Zi Tong, of course, knew how desperate his situation in Chaos City had been.
“Zi Tong.” Lin Yun smiled back at her.
The Clan Leader spoke up. “Zi Tong, take Lin Yun around the palace. He is your friend, so you are the best person to show him about and help him become familiar with the place.”
Clearly, the Clan Leader wished to give Lin Yun and Zi Tong some time alone.
“Yes, Grandfather.” Zi Tong’s voice was light and melodic.
She then led Lin Yun out of the grand hall.
After Lin Yun and Zi Tong had left.
“Sixth, do you think the two of them will come to an agreement?” The Clan Leader asked.
“This… it is honestly hard to say.” The Sixth Prince gave a helpless smile.
…
After leaving the grand hall.
It must be said that, as a female elf, Zi Tong’s beauty was breathtaking, like an angel descended to earth. Moreover, she bore a certain resemblance to Wang Xue.
“Lin Yun, where would you like to go? I will take you.” Zi Tong asked.
“May I speak honestly?” Lin Yun looked at her.
“Of course. Between us, say whatever you wish.” Zi Tong gazed at him earnestly.
“To be truthful, I do not particularly want to wander anywhere right now. What I most want to do is go into secluded cultivation and attempt a breakthrough to Supreme.” Lin Yun replied.
“You really are a cultivation maniac. Very well, I will take you to the training chamber in my palace quarters. You can cultivate there first.” Zi Tong said.
“Good. Then I will trouble you.” Lin Yun smiled and nodded.
“Follow me.”
Zi Tong immediately led Lin Yun toward her palace quarters.
