Chapter 97: Talent is Higher Than People!

Of course, apart from self-service restaurants like Dragon Stomach, Youguang brand sparkling fruit juice was still very popular in other restaurants.

Since Lin Yu dared to take it out, he was naturally sure that this thing was harmless to ordinary people.

Not long after, Lin Yu and the Yun family sat down at the dining table.

Lin Yu wanted to let the grandmother sit in the seat of honor, but the old lady just wouldn't, and wouldn't sit down no matter what.

Helpless, Lin Yu could only accept the old lady's enthusiasm and sat in the seat of honor.

As soon as the dishes were served, a rich aroma permeated the dining table, making the two little girls swallow their saliva constantly, their eyes staring unblinkingly at the food that seemed to glow.

Looking at the only two little girls at the dining table, Xiang Yunye could not help but frown and turned to look at the steward aunt.

"Aunt, where are Runniang and the others?"

"This..."

The steward aunt looked hesitant and looked at the grandmother cautiously.

The grandmother sighed, "Call those girls over too!"

As soon as these words came out, the steward aunt immediately looked happy and left in a hurry.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yu's smile remained unchanged, neither saying anything more nor feeling surprised.

In those years, the Yun family suffered a disaster because of Yun Dingxing, and all the men in the family died, leaving only some women to survive.

Among them, the younger and lower-generation women, such as Xiang Yunye's younger sisters, were as many as eight, and there were quite a few aunts, but they were all regarded as jinxes by their husband's families and were divorced.

At the same time, due to the preference for boys over girls in this era, it was not only Xiang Yunye's aunts who were driven out, but also the daughters they gave birth to.

Now that Xiang Yunye was the Marquis of Blue Field of the Great Tang, those snobbish husband's families naturally wanted to climb back up.

Some of Xiang Yunye's aunts had already given birth to sons and missed their sons, so they were coaxed back to their husband's families with sweet words.

But there were also those who were tougher, unwilling to go back, and stayed in the mansion from then on, taking on positions like stewards, and the daughters who left their husband's families with them were therefore raised in the Yun Mansion.

From the bloodline, the two big girls and small girls came from the third branch of the Yun family and were considered true Yun family women.

The remaining six younger sisters, two were daughters born to the aunts, one named Runniang, one named Yiniang.

There were four other younger sisters who were adopted by the aunts, their identities were in doubt, so they had always been disliked by the grandmother.

This time, entertaining a distinguished guest like Lin Yu, the grandmother valued etiquette and rules, so she only brought the big girl and the small girl, and the other six cousin ladies in the house were not qualified to appear.

As a transmigrator from the later generations, Xiang Yunye's worldview naturally did not have such dross of etiquette.

Whether it was a cousin or a cousin, he treated them all equally and loved them as his own younger sisters.

As for the grandmother's approach, Xiang Yunye was not unable to understand.

In the old lady's heart, the cousin ladies would eventually marry out. If they were not tight-lipped and turned their elbows toward their husband's families, wouldn't they leak the highest secrets of their own family?

Understanding was understanding, but it didn't mean Xiang Yunye would agree.

He specifically spoke before the family banquet because he wanted to show his position to his grandmother.

Regarding these things, Lin Yu, as a guest, naturally saw them clearly.

But he did not intend to intervene; this was Xiang Yunye's family affair after all, and he believed Xiang Yunye could handle it well...

Not long after, six timid little girls appeared at the door and sat down in turn under the leadership of the steward aunt.

It was not until this moment that a smile appeared on Xiang Yunye's face, and he officially announced the start of the family banquet.

As the words fell, the little girl who liked to eat the most could no longer hold back and actively launched an attack on the sweet and sour dragon ribs.

Seeing the little girl's ugly eating posture, Xiang Yunye could not help but glare at her.

But the little girl did not restrain herself at all.

While chewing the dragon ribs, she muttered in her mouth about things like "Brother said there are no rules at the Yun family's dining table," which made Lin Yu laugh heartily and take the initiative to send the sparkling fruit juice to the little girl's hand...

It is worth mentioning that throughout the process, Lin Yu sat motionless in his seat, only snapping his fingers, and the glass cup filled with fruit juice flew up by itself and landed in front of the little girl...

Seeing this scene, the adults at the dining table looked at each other and fell silent.

Especially Xiang Yunye's aunts, their eyes toward Lin Yu became more respectful, and their words and deeds became more cautious.

By comparison, the most normal ones were the grandmother and the eight little girls.

As early as Xiang Yunye's first return, he had used magic to regulate the grandmother's body.

Since then, the grandmother had known that Xiang Yunye possessed Immortal means.

Now seeing Lin Yu moving objects through the air, she did not feel surprised, but instead turned her head and looked at the aunts with a severe expression, signaling them not to talk too much outside.

As for the eight little girls, they did not yet know the significance of Lin Yu's means.

Seeing the fruit juice fly out of thin air, the introverted big girl and others just looked surprised and didn't say much, but the lively little Xi and little Bei couldn't help but light up, chirping and asking Lin Yu to show another hand.

Lin Yu didn't spoil the fun, snapped his fingers casually, and the orange sparkling fruit juice flew out of the pot, drew several beautiful parabolas in the air above the dining table, and fell into the little girls' glass cups.

The little girls cheered one after another, and their eyes toward Lin Yu were already filled with worship.

While Lin Yu was playing with the little girls, Xiang Yunye looked at them with a smile, without any intention of stopping them.

As the saying goes, one person attains the Dao, and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Regarding Bai Yujing, the family would know sooner or later.

Especially these little girls, Xiang Yunye had long planned to implant Spirit Seeds for them, so that they could share longevity with him in the future...

After the family banquet, everyone was full, and the grandmother got up in a hurry, calling all of Xiang Yunye's aunts to the back hall, looking like she intended to give them a few words in private.

Lin Yu waved his hand and summoned two Yellow Turban puppets to clean up the mess for everyone.

Just then, Xiang Yunye held the big girl and the small girl, brought the other six cousins over, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and call him!"

The eight little girls spoke one after another in crisp and childish voices, either calling him brother, or calling him cousin, and some even shyly called him Brother Lin.

Lin Yu felt his scalp tingle upon hearing this, and could not help but pull Xiang Yunye over and whisper: "What do you want to do?"

Xiang Yunye whispered with a smile: "Senior brother, look, they have all called you, with your status, shouldn't you mean something and give my little sisters a meeting gift or something?"

"..."

Lin Yu twitched his mouth and said with a smile that was not a smile: "So you are blackmailing me, right?"

Xiang Yunye sighed and said: "No way, eight sisters, the pressure on the brother is great, have to find someone to share!"

"Alright then!"

Lin Yu patted his shoulder with a smile, then walked to the eight little girls, facing those eyes that were either shy or expectant, and smiled slightly: "First time meeting, I didn't prepare anything, just give you some little gadgets!"

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand and took out an exquisite jade hairpin, inserting it into the big girl's head.

This hairpin was temporarily refined by him using material shaping magic and the art of divine machinery, equivalent to a passive-triggering protective magic weapon, but its strength was more than a notch higher than Ma Xianhong's magic weapon.

With this thing, even if facing ten thousand arrows, one could be unscathed.

Lin Yu naturally did not tell the big girl the function of the magic weapon, only saying that this thing was born with spirit, and urged her to wear it with her, so that she could turn bad luck into good luck in the future when encountering danger.

The big girl listened to this and didn't quite understand.

But seeing that this jade hairpin was exquisitely crafted, as if made by heaven, she couldn't help but feel love in her heart, and quickly thanked Lin Yu obediently.

Afterward, Lin Yu sent different protective magic weapons to them according to their respective temperaments.

Little Dong was a money-grubber, so he sent a shiny gold bracelet. Runniang and Yiniang had reached the age of loving beauty, so he sent two exquisite pieces of jewelry. Little Ya and Little Nan were innocent and lively, loved to eat and move, so he sent them long-life silver locks. Little Xi and Little Bei didn't like needlework, liked to dance with knives and guns, so he sent them two jade sword pendants...

These gifts looked different in value on the surface, but in reality, they were all powerful protective magic weapons.

Xiang Yunye was satisfied, and immediately let the group of sisters thank Lin Yu, before waving them away.

"Next time you want a gift for your sister, remember to notify me in advance, so I can be mentally prepared."

"No problem!"

Xiang Yunye agreed fully, then took a step, talking and laughing with Lin Yu, and took him to the courtyard.

Soon, the two stopped in front of a spacious and luxurious stable.

There, a divine-looking date-red horse was lying on the silk to rest.

Smelling the familiar aura, the date-red horse immediately opened its eyes and excitedly poked its head out.

Xiang Yunye hugged the horse's head with a full face of smiles, letting the other party rub against him in his arms.

"... Is this Wangcai?"

Lin Yu looked at the date-red horse and asked.

Xiang Yunye whispered: "Mm, it is my brother!"

Wangcai was a partner Xiang Yunye met after transmigrating, not only accompanying him out of the wilderness but also having the grace of saving his life.

Since then, Xiang Yunye had regarded Wangcai as a brother, swearing to let it eat well and live comfortably with him.

And later, Xiang Yunye did indeed fulfill his promise.

The current Wangcai was not only an official member of the Yun family, being well taken care of by the people in the Marquis Mansion every day, but its status was second only to Xiang Yunye and the grandmother, belonging to an existence that no one dared to provoke except for a few little girls.

Xiang Yunye's feelings for Wangcai were not deep, so after Lin Yu arrived, he specially invited him to come and take a look at Wangcai.

"Do you want to implant a spiritual root for it?"

"Doesn't have to be a spiritual root, as long as it can accompany me to longevity!"

Lin Yu nodded, then turned around, looking at Wangcai's smart eyes with interest.

The downgraded mental power quietly surged out from him, covering Wangcai's whole body in the blink of an eye.

The next second, Wangcai suddenly raised its head, looking around suspiciously, seeming to have noticed something.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yu's eyes moved, and he suddenly turned his head and said: "Why not spend more money and implant a spiritual root for it!"

Xiang Yunye was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Lin Yu in surprise.

Lin Yu said seriously: "This horse's talent is higher than people!"

"To say something unpleasant, if the chat group hadn't lifted the limitations on your talent, you really might not be better than it!"

"That is to say, the Tang Zhuan world has no spiritual energy. If it were changed to Immortal cultivation... no, even if it were changed to the world of Under One Person next door, this guy could at least cultivate into a horse spirit!"
