41 What happened to the harmony between Yin and Yang?

"I knew the top members of Lin clan were corrupted but never expected them to be so corrupt that they will use defective products for such an important ceremony!" Zhen Han said with anger.

Outside, the elders and patriarch of Lin clan coughed up blood!

"Defective product!? That can't be true, right?" One of the younger generation members nervously asked.

"N-no! It can't be!" Another young genius replied though his voice was faint denoting he wasn't sure of his claim.

"But even Zhen Han said there was corruption!"

The young members started discussing among themselves, and most of them thought Zhen Han's words might be true.

A part of them thought Zhen Han's talent and attributes were far beyond the capacity of the crystal ball. But their ego and self-confidence didn't allow themselves to believe this. Just what type of attribute must one have to destroy a divine grade item? They refused to believe Zhen Han has such attributes to prevent their Dao Heart from wavering.

So naturally, their mind wanted to believe the theory of defective crystal ball! Using defective grade in order to embezzle spirit stones wouldn't be anything surprising!

It wasn't anything new for high ranking people to embezzle fund. In fact, if someone doesn't participate in corruption then that person can't reach such a high position, to begin with! The younger generation was aware of this fact. Their voices were faint but the elders and chief envoy could clearly hear every spoken word.

Lin Xiruo's eyes were filled with blood threads after hearing the discussion among the younger generation. Minutes ago, he has claimed he has purchased the crystal ball so obviously, the younger generation's words were directed at him!

"Shut Up!" Lin Xiruo's thunderous voice made everyone silent. "

The younger generation no longer dared to say anything but he could see in the depth of their eyes there were signs of disgust even though it was hidden by the fear they have for him.

"I spent 1 million high-grade spirit stones to purchase the divine grade attribute crystal! You think, I, as the patriarch, would fall so low to risk the future of my clan?! " Lin Xiruo angrily asked.

The attribute of the cultivator would decide the future of the cultivator to a great extent. The types of cultivation method to practice and focus on auxiliary stuff are decided by the attribute! Whether a person can focus on alchemy, formation arrays, talisman, artifact refining, beast taming, etc depends on attribute!

So it wasn't wrong to say attribute was related to the future of the younger generation! Ultimately, the future of the younger generation is the future of clan!

While personal interests always mattered, no sane person would kill the goose which lay golden eggs! The clan was the goose in this case! If the power of clan dwindled then the power of patriarch would also fall!

Lin Xiruo's words made the younger generation enlighten!

"Sir patriarch, we are sorry. Please punish us for our earlier actions," Every member from the younger generation bowed down and said.

"I can't blame you," Lin Xiruo said with a deep sigh as he once again focused his attention on the spirit screen. His heart was bleeding seeing the cracks on the crystal ball. He really wanted to smack Zhen Han for not only destroying the crystal ball but also for trying to frame him! The elders of Lin clan thought the same.

There was only one person who was laughing in delight after seeing the black smoke emitted by the crystal ball! It was none other than Qin Auir - the chief envoy from Vermilion Empire! Earlier, he was frightened to death by the possibility of Zhen Han being a waste.

The Vermilion Emperor has decided to marry off his daughter to Zhen Han due to Qin Auir's report earlier! Qin Auir thought he would discuss the marriage with Lin clan after Zhen Han completed all the procedures in Awakening Pagoda!

But then he saw the crystal ball not giving any result for more than twenty minutes! Not to mention the 'logical explanation' given by Lin clan elders made him believe Zhen Han was a waste! If the Vermilion Emperor learned the groom he chose was a waste then Qin Auir knew what fate awaited him! Death would be a happy outcome!

"Haha, my observation can never be wrong!" Qin Auir loudly said in delight, "I knew Zhen Han was a heaven-defying genius! He is someone who almost succeeded in manifestation and that too with nine manifestations! So how can his attributes be any ordinary!?"

Qin Auir then turned his face from the screen to the Lin clan elders.

"You were saying something like how the world is balanced? Oh right...you were also saying how the heavens are always fair?" Qin Auir asked the elder who has stated that everything is balanced a few minutes ago. The elder was ashamed for being called out wrong in the open.

Qin Auir then turned his face towards another elder and said, " What happened to the harmony of Yin and Yang? You were also talking about a price to be paid and everyone having a weakness, right? Elder, it seems you have gained insight in the workings of the Heavenly Dao. I would love to be enlightened by your words again."

The elder's face was filled with black lines. Earlier, for sounding profound, he has said that Zhen Han didn't have any attributes as there is harmony between every component of the world. He has said how everyone and everything must have a weakness and Zhen Han's weakness was not having any attribute! He has claimed that was the price for his earlier display of heaven-defying cultivation speed!

The other elder who said about fairness was feeling equally humiliated. Qin Auir continued to call out the two elders specifically for their earlier words. Even the younger generation and the other elders turned their face towards those two elders who have shared their enlightenment before the crystal broke.

"If I knew the kid was an incarnation of the devil...I wouldn't have said those profound-sounding words! That kid is simply defying logic every time!" The two elders bitterly thought but they didn't dare say anything.

Qin Auir was feeling happy after removing his frustration on the elders. Earlier, they have almost given him a heart attack but now he has made them ashamed in front of everyone!

He was so happy with the outcome that his smile almost touching his eyes. Lin Xiruo, the elders, Lin Li, and others were startled by his behavior.

"Why is he so happy for that kid?"

"Even that kid's parents aren't this happy after learning that their son is not a waste! But Qin Auir...!"

"Has he went insane?"

"He is from Vermilion Empire. The rumors say everyone there is insane."
