Chapter 243: Seventh Fairy Maiden's Embroidered Clothing

In a milk tea shop.

"Can we talk now?"

Yu Lin looked at Dong Lin, who had eaten and drunk his fill in front of him, and spoke softly.

"All right." Dong Lin immediately explained:

"Have you heard of the Seventh Fairy Maiden descending to the mortal realm? The Seventh Fairy Maiden married my ancestor Dong Yong!"

"This jade plaque belonged to a reclusive clan called the Yu Clan at that time; a member of the Yu Clan who was out traveling met my ancestor, and due to various circumstances, they became friends."

"Later, when he left, he gave my ancestor a jade plaque, saying that in the future they could use this jade plaque to find the Yu Clan, and the Yu Clan would help once."

"But after using it, the affection between the two families would end there."

"My ancestor established a strict rule: unless facing extinction, it must never be used, and then he placed it in his tomb, and it has been passed down to my generation this way."

"Until a few days ago, my father and uncles took it out..............."

"That's how it is."

After hearing his explanation, Ning Ya showed a hint of surprise: "Yo ho."

"Yu Clan? Yu Lin, you're not an orphan, are you? You're lying to me?"

"With such a big background, you didn't even tell me; it hurts me so much! Wah wah wah~"

"Don't make a fuss." Yu Lin ignored her, who was about to erupt in performance.

"What Yu Clan? He's always been alone."

"This jade plaque could have survived to today; it's not that the Dong family didn't want to use it, but when they wanted to, they simply couldn't find where the Yu Clan was!"

"Now, because of Ning Ya, it has returned to Yu Lin's hands............."

Yu Lin spoke: "So, what do you want me to help you with?"

"As long as it aligns with socialist core values, I can help you."

Upon hearing that, Dong Lin wanted to say something but held back, finally uttering:

"You look about my age; I feel you might not be able to help.........."

"Oh dear, I'm being looked down upon."

The fake-crying Ning Ya instantly stopped her tears, then put her arm around Yu Lin's shoulder and pointed at him as she introduced:

"You might not know, but standing before you is the divinely chosen of Christianity's God, the youngest general of our nation, one of the Seven Stars Guarding the Nation.............."

"A string of titles spoken out left Dong Lin stunned:"

"Really? I'm not well educated, don't fool me."

"Could it be fake? Don't you believe me, sis?"

"Yeah, sis, you said it like that, so it must be right."

"If you believe, boldly speak your wish."

"I.........." Dong Lin organized his words, the blank look on his face turning to hatred, he gritted his teeth and said:

"It's an organization! We have passed down this jade plaque along with a piece of embroidered clothing."

"My grandfather said it was woven personally by the Seventh Fairy Maiden!"

"Wearing it not only prolongs life, but also aids cultivation, wards off inner demons, and is a top-tier cultivation treasure!"

"This caught the eye of someone who calls themselves the Wanbao Club! It should be said, their president!"

"When the deal didn't work out, they just seized it by force. Our family has declined generation after generation; by my generation, aside from me, everyone else's cultivation talent is poor............ Finally, only I escaped under everyone's protection!"

"So.........."

He sprang up but didn't stand; instead, with a 'plop' he fell straight to his knees before Yu Lin, his forehead almost touching the ground, his voice trembling from suppressed hatred and pleading:

"I beg you, help me, help my family take revenge!"

He lifted his head, his eye sockets red, filled with blazing anger and the pain of losing loved ones: "I have only this request! As long as I can make them pay, I, Dong Lin, will serve you as an ox or horse for the rest of my life!"

Before Yu Lin could speak, Ning Ya beside him, who originally had a somewhat teasing expression, suddenly turned serious, her brows furrowed, she asked in a low voice:

"Are you sure it's the Wanbao Club?"

Her tone carried obvious gravity; she was clearly not unfamiliar with that name, and her impression of it was extremely bad.

She then reached out and grabbed the kneeling Dong Lin, pulling him up with an irresistible force:

"Get up and speak slowly."

Dong Lin was pulled up by Ning Ya; his body still slightly trembling from excitement, he nodded firmly, his tone resolute:

"I'm certain! It's them! They thought they had it in the bag, were extremely arrogant, and had no intention of hiding their identity!"

"His face showed humiliation and hatred:"

"In fact... they really almost won. If it weren't for good luck meeting you, sis, I'd be——"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear—if Ning Ya hadn't intervened, he would have had no outcome other than death.

Ning Ya gave a slight nod, her eyes turned cold, the corner of her mouth curling into an icy arc:

"So that's how it is... indeed, those guys' usual tactics haven't changed at all."

"Understood."

She looked at Yu Lin, yet a hint of schadenfreude appeared on her face: "Messing with you means bad luck for them."

"I know where they are; shall we go now?"

"Their president once seized my stuff; their club often opposes me; this time I'll give them a harsh lesson!"

"Hmph."

"All right." Yu Lin nodded, stood up, looked at Dong Lin: "Let's go."

"I'll come too? Aren't you afraid I'll drag you down?"

"Of course not."

Yu Lin smiled faintly, handing the Jade Plaque in his hand to him: "Take it."

"This grudge still needs to be personally repaid to feel satisfying."

"Thank you!" Dong Lin took a deep breath, nodded heavily, reached out and took the Jade Plaque carrying his family's legacy and the deep grudge of bloodshed.

Just as his fingertip made full contact with the Jade Plaque—

Crack!

A clear cracking sound rang out.

That seemingly solid Jade Plaque unexpectedly cracked inch by inch without warning, instantly turning into countless tiny, warm white Light Dots that, as if drawn, surged into Dong Lin's palm and quickly flowed through his limbs and bones.

"Ugh—!"

Dong Lin couldn't help but let out a low roar, his body shaking violently.

An unimaginable surge of power exploded within him like a volcano dormant for a thousand years suddenly erupting! His aura began to rise at an astonishing speed.

Indestructible Realm, Night Wanderer Realm, He Zhen Realm—the barriers of these realms shattered like paper before this power!

Substantial energy radiance began to coil around his body, his five viscera resonating, faintly corresponding to the five elemental qi.

Endlessly cycling, merging into one—Five Qi converging to the origin, the realm of perfection!

Finally, the Frenzy aura's growth only halted upon hitting an invisible bottleneck, stabilizing at the peak of Five Qi Perfection, just one step away from the Grand Void Realm.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. A moment ago he was a destitute youth needing protection; the next moment he had become a top expert with a vast aura capable of shaking a region.

Ning Ya, who had witnessed everything from the side, opened her mouth into an "O", her beautiful eyes wide round, her face full of disbelief as if she'd seen a ghost.

She abruptly turned her head to look at Yu Lin, her voice rising several pitches from shock, filled with disbelief and a hint of desire she herself didn't even notice.

"This this this... you, you still know how to do this?!"

She pointed at Dong Lin, whose aura was now completely different, his eyes sharp as a blade,

"I want one too! Hurry up and give me one as well!"

Yu Lin spread his hands: "It's a one‑time thing."

"You'd better cultivate on your own; with your talent, in ten or twenty years you could reach this realm."

"Unlike me.......... I reached the Grand Void Realm in just over a year—sigh, being invincible is so lonely it's unbearable."

".........." Watching him show off, Ning Ya really wanted to bite him, but she knew even if she did she'd only break her own teeth, so she could only sigh helplessly: "Fine, quit showing off."

"Let's go."
