Lin Yige handed the invitation letter to the Lin family's children who were welcoming the guests in the city lord's palace, and gave him a gift that matched his mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivation level - a pair of top-quality spiritual peaches of the mortal level.
The welcoming monk took the invitation letter and the congratulatory gift, glanced at her with an unclear meaning, and sang in a longer tone: "Lin Xisheng from Guiyi Sect is here to congratulate——"
Later, Lin Yige was led by another disciple of the Lin family to the lobby where the contract ceremony was about to take place.
As soon as Lin Yige entered the lobby, he noticed countless eyes falling on him.
She always kept in mind that she was only in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, so she pretended not to know and stood in the lobby with a calm expression.
On the contrary, everyone in the hall became more or less uncomfortable.
Lin Yige raised his eyes and looked at Lin Zhiyu and Bei Minghuan, who were about to form a contract.
The two people dressed in black robes, one with a cold face and the other with a smile, could not tell the slightest bit of affection.
It's no wonder that if the two of them are like Third Senior Sister and Wen Zongyi, they only need to make a verbal oath if they are consensual, why should they have to make a blood oath?
Considering that Lin Zhiyu had asked Master Wu Lan for help, Lin Yige stood still for the time being and only used his spiritual consciousness at the Void Refining stage to explore the inside and outside of the city lord's mansion.
The Lin family in Si'an County is a third-rate force, and the one with the highest cultivation level is Lin Zhengtao, the head of the Lin family in the late stage of becoming a god.
There were not many guests invited to the Double Cultivation Ceremony. They were basically monks named Lin from the twelve counties of Yangzhou. There were about forty people, and their highest cultivation level was no more than the Golden Core stage.
In addition to this, there are the three Golden Core disciples of Bei Minghuan of the Yongzhou Tianyan Sword Sect, and a man and a woman beside them who look extremely flattering.
It was Lin Yige's uncle and aunt whom he hadn't seen for nearly three years and how many rooms separated him.
At this moment, Lin Zhengtao, the head of the Lin family, entered the lobby together with a Nascent Soul stage elder from the Tianyan Sword Sect.
Behind the middle-aged Lin Zhengtao was a handsome young man who was 70% to 80% similar to him and had just introduced Qi into his body.
According to Wen Caiwei, this young man is probably Lin Zhengtao's cherished grandson, Lin Zhihong, whose spiritual roots were measured less than a year ago.
Lin Yige turned to look at Lin Zhiyu, and sure enough, she saw a slight change in her expression, and a dark light flashed in her eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, a trembling and hoarse voice sounded next to him: "Yige? Are you Yige? After you fell into the water, we have been looking for you for more than two years, but we don't know how to report that you are safe?!"
It was the tall and thin uncle who was an unknown number of rooms away. He glanced at the people from the Tianyan Sword Sect, pinched the tiger's mouth to control his fear, and talked to her.
The tall and round-waisted aunt was not polite. She reached out and pinched the soft flesh of Lin Yige's waist, and cursed in a dirty voice: "You heartless little hoof! Eat me and use me. When you get rich, you want to use it as a gift." I don’t know, how can something be so cheap?”
Lin Yige sneered and let her pinch his waist.
"Ouch!" The fat woman held a hand with broken nails and bleeding blood, and looked at the thin girl with resentment.
Reminded by the pain, she suddenly realized: the girl who was being bullied was already a monk and could kill her at any time.
The fat woman made a "plop" sound, turned around, pulled the man, and knelt down in front of the head of the Lin family.
She howled clearly: "Ancestor of the Lin family, you are judging this little woman! Lin Yige defeated her parents to death. If it weren't for me and the frugal leader of the family who brought her up... now she has a hardened wing but has turned her back. What’s the point of not recognizing me as your adoptive mother?!”
The man also opened his mouth and said: "Ancestor, just think that I raised this unfilial daughter in vain...please ask Ancestor to clean up the family for the Lin family!"
Many of the guests in the lobby were monks surnamed Lin, and they started talking about this farce.
How could anyone still remember that they were here to celebrate Lin's Dual Cultivation Ceremony?
They came all the way just to get married to the Lin family, so it would be even better if they could use this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Tianyan Sword Sect.
"People say that cultivating kindness is the most important thing! How can this be done?"
"How can a disciple of the Guiyi Sect have such a character?"
"Is this person really a descendant of the Lin family? It's such a disgrace to the Lin family!"
"Speaking of which, their adopted daughter actually has the same name as Lin Yige, the late swordsman of the Guiyi Sect?"
…
Lin Yige let them finish, then looked at Lin Zhengtao calmly and asked, "Master Lin, what's going on? I don't remember having such a relative!"
After hearing what she said, the fat woman wanted to speak again, but was pulled back by the man.
She then closed her mouth with an annoyed look on her face.
Lin Zhengtao narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled: "These two clan members from Qingyang County in Yongzhou thought they recognized the wrong person because they missed their daughter so much! This is Fellow Taoist Lin Xisheng of the Guiyi Sect, not your adopted daughter."
The tall and thin man took out a portrait from his arms, raised it high above his head, and said, "My dear ancestor, this is a small portrait that my unfilial adopted daughter Lin Yige made when she was fifteen years old to discuss marriage! Please!" Ancestor makes the decision for the two of us!"
Lin Zhihong stepped forward to take the portrait and unfolded it in public.
Everyone in the hall was sharp-eyed and discovered that the girl on the small statue was indeed 80% similar to the female cultivator in the hall.
But this doesn't mean anything.
After all, everyone here has the surname Lin. They come from the same ancestor and are more or less similar.
The fat woman followed up and said: "Ancestor of the Lin family, there is no way this little woman will admit her mistake! There is a red birthmark on her buttocks, a test will tell-"
"Snapped!"
Before she finished speaking, the woman was slapped in the face, leaving a small handprint on her face.
"Ignorant and stupid woman, stop talking nonsense!" Lin Zhiyu frowned and said, with anger jumping in her eyes.
This woman has such a vicious mind!
If Lin Xisheng is a mortal woman, if she is tested, she will be called unfilial; if she is not tested, it will be difficult to clean up the stigma, and there will be only a dead end!
Fortunately, Lin Xisheng is now a monk and will not seek death.
But after she suffered such a great humiliation today, the Guiyi faction will definitely become enemies with the Lin family of Si'an County!
"Both the Lin family's children, male and female, have fifteen bundles of hair to measure their spiritual roots. If what you say is true, I would like to ask, what are your intentions in delaying the Lin family's children to ask for immortality?!"
The fat woman was hit with blood, and her mouth was covered with blood. After hearing Lin Zhiyu's questioning, she felt guilty and did not dare to say anything.
Lin Zhengtao frowned slightly, glanced coldly at Yue Zu's eldest granddaughter, and said, "If you have a clear conscience, why don't you prove it yourself?"
Lin Yige also glanced at Lin Zhiyu, frowned like her, and asked, "I told you earlier that I don't have this relative, but in the end you still want me to prove it in public?"
The elder of Tianyan Sword Sect clenched his fist to his mouth, coughed slightly, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this."
Lin Zhengtao quickly calmed down and asked with a low eyebrow, "What does Elder Qi mean?"
Elder Qi waved his hand, looking kind and kind.
He looked the girl up and down and said with a smile: "I also brought a female disciple with me on this trip. Why don't you Lin ask her to take a look?"
When Lin Yige heard this, he pretended to be deep in thought.
After a moment, she blinked, ignored the elders of Tianyan Sword Sect, and asked Lin Zhengtao directly: "If I tell you that you are a bastard, Master Lin, do you have to prove it to yourself?"
