79. Start of the Lin Family Tournament

"Ah!"

Lin Qingtan listened to Chen Xuan's explanation and instantly felt her face go hot with embarrassment, wishing she could find a place to hide.

[Ding! Lin Qingtan feels ashamed. Emotion points +100]

Seeing her reaction, Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. "What's with the 'Ah?' Don't tell me you actually want me to do something to you?"

"You... you're talking nonsense!" Lin Qingtan's face turned an even deeper shade of red, though she felt a strange hint of happiness, maybe even anticipation.

She caught herself. What am I thinking? Why am I even anticipating this?

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Well, if you think I'm joking, let me just verify it for you."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm just going to perform a 'test' to be sure," he said playfully.

Moments later, Lin Qingtan's emotions fluctuated in a roller-coaster of reactions, ranging from pain to excitement, joy, and even exhaustion.

Two and a half hours later, Chen Xuan left feeling quite satisfied.

Back on the surface, Yun Yun sat alone atop a large rock, seemingly meditating.

However, when Chen Xuan appeared, she sensed his presence immediately, wrinkling her nose slightly.

"You smell... like two different perfumes, along with a faint scent from... something you did without cleaning up after."

Chen Xuan didn't deny it.

In this world, it was common for the powerful to have multiple partners. Only by amassing strength could one change anything.

Time passed swiftly, and soon, the Lin Family Tournament arrived.

The ancient tomb in the Tianyan Mountains had been transformed into a massive arena, filled to the brim with spectators.

The crowd was buzzing with excitement, voices roaring like thunder.

Despite the remote location, many powers and experts from the Great Yan Dynasty had gathered, all eager to see the strength of the individual who had convinced the Lin family to relocate the tournament to such a distant place.

Unfortunately, the awaited figure did not appear, leaving the crowd's gaze focused on the fighters in the arena.

The Lin Family Tournament had officially begun!

"Xuan City Branch, Lin Dongtian wins!"

"Main Family, Lin Nan wins!"

Cheers erupted with each victory, echoing through the grand arena.

On the high platform, the elders of the Lin Family's main branch sat stiffly, though their expressions betrayed no anxiety.

Lin Fan approached Chen Xuan's side. "Sir, Lin Dong has reached the Tianyan Mountains. He should be arriving in a few minutes."

"Good. Stick to the plan," Chen Xuan replied, his figure vanishing from the high platform and reappearing next to Lin Xiao and his wife, he transformed to look like Lin Zhentian.

Standing with him were people disguised as other members of the Lin family, meticulously crafted to look like familiar faces to Lin Dong.

Lin Xiao was shocked, initially thinking he was hallucinating. "Aren't Lin Hong and Lin Xia... dead? How am I seeing them here?"

His wife, Liu Yan, rubbed her eyes in disbelief. "Is it possible... we were poisoned?"

"I hope Dong'er doesn't come," Lin Xiao said in despair.

But deep down, he knew his son would arrive.

Meanwhile, the actors posing as main family members began taunting the branch family representatives.

"Useless branch family trash!"

"How dare that arrogant Lin Dong provoke Brother Langtian? He's courting death!"

"This time, the branch family won't even win a single match!"

Amidst the taunts, Chen Xuan, disguised as Lin Zhentian, sensed Lin Dong's presence, lurking in the shadows and watching carefully for the right moment to act.

"Next up, Lin Qingtan from the branch family versus Lin Feng from the main family!"

Lin Xiao and Liu Yan watched as Lin Qingtan, graceful as a sprite, leapt onto the stage.

Today, she wore a light blue dress, her beauty and poise captivating many from the main family.

Across from her stood Lin Feng, a dashing young man of about twenty.

Seeing Lin Qingtan, he couldn't hide his enthusiasm.

As the battle commenced, Lin Feng quickly gained the upper hand due to his higher cultivation level.

He held back, though, and with a mischievous glint in his eye, said, "Lin Qingtan, you're beautiful. How about you submit to me? I might just ask Brother Langtian to let your branch family stay in the tournament a bit longer."
