Chapter 247

Early the next morning, after Lin Zhangqing finished his basic cultivation.

He first went to his grandfather's place to take a look, and there was still no one at home. Lin Zhangqing simply went directly to the place where the Clan Leader often went into closed-door cultivation.

Arriving at the place, Lin Zhangqing just wanted to cast a spell to trigger the restriction, but he didn't expect that a gap would open directly on it.

Afterwards, the Clan Leader's voice came out, "Qing'er! Come in directly!"

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly walked in and saw the three people sitting inside. He hurriedly opened his mouth to pay his respects, "Grandson pays respects to the Clan Leader, Grandfather, and Sixth Grandfather!"

Inside were all of his grandfather's generation, so he could only keep calling them.

"Qing'er, come over here and sit down. When did you return? The task given by the Great-Grandmother was completed smoothly, right?" The Clan Leader asked! "Reporting to the Clan Leader, I returned yesterday, and the task has been completed smoothly.

When I was handing in the task, I sent Zi Ya back to Chengxia Peak, and only then did I know at the Great-Grandmother's place that something had happened to the family, so I rushed back immediately!" Lin Zhangqing answered respectfully.

Hearing Lin Zhangqing say this, the Clan Leader and the grandfathers nodded and praised him one after another. Those who could rush back at the first opportunity after knowing something had happened to the family were all truly good sons of the Lin family.

The Clan Leader also said with a serious face, "It's good that you could rush back to contribute to the family!

Qing'er, those spirit objects you contributed have already been handed over to me by your grandfather. They are crucial to the development of the family.

And the plan you contributed has also been adopted by the family, and like the spirit objects you contributed, it has been listed as the family's highest secret, currently limited to the three of us knowing.

Because of the need for confidentiality, there is no way to announce the contribution you made to the clansmen, but this is only temporary! I believe that one day, the family academy will be able to record all the contributions you have made to the family in the clan history, letting every Lin family member, every later Lin family cultivator, know about your contribution and dedication.

Originally, those spirit objects you contributed should have been converted into family contribution points, but that amount is truly huge, and there is no way to explain it to the clansmen! So the three of us will temporarily record it for you, and when the time is right, we will return it to you in other forms.

Of course, if you have anything you want, you can also directly propose it to me. As long as the family or I have it, I can give it to you."

Lin Zhangqing was still very excited after hearing the Clan Leader's words. After all, he grew up in the Lin family and also had a very high recognition of the family.

Moreover, having received the Lin family's favor, he had always had the idea of giving back to the family. For him, those things he took out really didn't count for anything.

He supported the Clan Leader's decision, knowing that keeping it secret from ordinary clansmen was the most correct approach.

Otherwise, the one suffering would still be the currently weak Lin family. This time, the Fourteenth Uncle being ambushed was a warning from the past.

As for converting spirit objects into family contribution points, Lin Zhangqing really didn't care. Even if he were given hundreds of thousands of contribution points, if he couldn't exchange them for the spirit objects he needed, they would just be a pile of numbers, so he really didn't care.

The Clan Leader said he would return them in other forms, which actually conformed to his wishes even more.

"Clan Leader, rest assured, Grandson understands. I don't care about those empty names. What I have done is just what a Lin family descendant should do within the scope of his ability.

Moreover, I was born here, grew up here, and after I die, I will probably be buried here! So Nine Peaks Mountain is the root of all of us. The things I did were purely because I wanted to give back to the family, making the family stronger, more prosperous, and flourishing."

Hearing Lin Zhangqing say this, everyone, including the Clan Leader, was moved. Especially the Sixth Grandfather, who was so excited that he was in tears.

It was estimated that it was the sentence Lin Zhangqing said, "I was born here, grew up here, and after I die, I will be buried here," that touched his heartstrings.

Sixth Grandfather Lin Fanxuan looked at Lin Zhangqing with gratification, and after trying hard to restrain his emotions.

He then said to Lin Zhangqing, "Little Qing'er, you are indeed worthy of being the descendant I think highly of, and you are also the most outstanding descendant of my Lin family! In the future, if you need alchemy, just come and find me. Sixth Grandfather will give you a discount and only charge you ten percent of the cost."

Lin Zhangqing was overjoyed. Other alchemists basically charged thirty percent. Last time he asked Sixth Grandfather to refine the Lotus Heart Pill, he only charged twenty percent, and in the future, it would only be ten percent. This was a real discount. There were twelve Earth Heart Lotuses in the inner space that had already matured, as well as some other spirit medicines and spirit plants. If there was a need, they could be picked at any time to find Sixth Grandfather for alchemy.

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Sixth Grandfather. I won't be polite. With your promise, if I have a need in the future, I will definitely come to find you!"

Lin Zhangqing looked at the Clan Leader again and continued to ask, "Clan Leader, what exactly happened to the Fourteenth Uncle? Did he say who ambushed him? How does the family plan to deal with it now?"

The Clan Leader smiled, "Don't be anxious first. This matter originally shouldn't have been told to you, but it can be considered to have some relationship with you, so after we discussed it, we still decided it was better to let you know!

It is true that your Fourteenth Uncle was ambushed by two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and it is also true that he was seriously injured, but he did not die or fall. Through our efforts, we have already saved him back, but he just needs to recuperate for a period of time.

It was just that at that time, I had a sudden inspiration and remembered your plan, so after discussing it with him, I let him fake his death to escape and go execute your plan. After all, that plan also needs a leader.

Moreover, in order to make the effect realistic, at that time when the funeral was held, only the three of us knew, and even your Fifth Grandfather was not told.

It was just because I was worried he couldn't bear it. Afterwards, your Fourteenth Uncle met with him once. Now other people, including his family members, all think he has already fallen."

Lin Zhangqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It was good that the Fourteenth Uncle didn't die; there would always be a day to meet again! "Then is this matter just going to be forgotten like this? This is obviously someone wanting to suppress the Lin family, which is why they took action to ambush the Fourteenth Uncle!"

"How is that possible? We are currently investigating the Foundation Establishment cultivators who might have taken action, and we have already excluded several families now.

We have narrowed the target down to four or five families. When the time comes, naturally someone will have to bear the Lin family's thunderous blow!" The Clan Leader said with a murderous look on his face.

Lin Zhangqing nodded. This was the right way! In this cultivation world where the weak are the prey of the strong, one should be tough when one should be tough, and one should kill when one should kill. Sometimes one should let others see one's own strength.

He said earnestly to the Clan Leader, "Then I want to participate when the time comes, to avenge the Fourteenth Uncle and also contribute to the family."

The Clan Leader thought for a while and nodded, saying, "Alright! Since you have this heart, then when the time is determined, naturally someone will notify you!"

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly responded and remembered the main purpose of coming this time. Lin Zhangqing organized his language slightly.

He then said, "Clan Leader, Grandfather, Sixth Grandfather, this time Grandson came over because there is a matter that needs to ask all the elders to come forward.

Grandson and the Great-Grandmother's descendant Chen Zi Ya, after the contact during this task, have experienced quite a few things together.

Now the two of us are mutually attracted to each other, and we have already obtained the consent of Chen Zi Ya's parents and family at the Chen family in Tongshan Village, setting a promise to grow old together.

But Zi Ya grew up in the Qingyun Sect since she was a child, and she has always been cultivating by the side of her grandmother, Senior Chen Jieyi, and the Great-Grandmother, so now we still need to obtain the consent of Senior Chen Jieyi and the Great-Grandmother.

Therefore, Grandson wants to ask the Clan Leader and the two grandfathers to come forward and find a suitable time to propose marriage to Senior Chen Jieyi and the Great-Grandmother."

The news released by Lin Zhangqing stunned the three grandfathers, and the three looked at each other.

It was still the Sixth Grandfather who reacted first and laughed loudly, "Good brat, you can be considered to have obtained the moon first because you are near the water! Not bad, truly well done!"

Lin Zhangqing's biological grandfather also asked, "Qing'er, is everything you said true? This kind of thing cannot be joked about!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded with a serious face and said, "It is absolutely true, I wouldn't dare to joke about this! We are truly mutually attracted, and I have promised to marry her home!"
