Chapter 10: Heading to the Imperial Capital

After bidding farewell to Senior Tao at the gate of the Lin Clan, Lin Langtian silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Since his rebirth, the most perplexing issue for him had been how to handle the complicated relationship with Lin Dong.

Deep down, he truly admired Lin Dong, but the recklessness of the original owner had put them in an awkward situation.

Fortunately, things hadn't escalated to the worst possible scenario yet. Perhaps he could change the fate of the two former enemies in this timeline.

Although a belated apology couldn't guarantee that Lin Dong would let go of his hatred, Lin Langtian knew that by taking this step, at least they wouldn't resort to open hostility.

Shaking his head, Lin Langtian pushed these thoughts aside.

Despite not wanting to be enemies with Lin Dong, with Ling Qingzhu's help, even if Lin Dong didn't appreciate it, he wouldn't be afraid of this future Martial Ancestor.

With this matter settled, Lin Langtian returned to his own courtyard.

"Brother Langtian, over here."

Passing by the training ground, a light and agile female voice suddenly rang out, causing Lin Langtian to shift his gaze slightly.

He saw a woman dressed in white, with a beautiful and captivating appearance.

What was most astonishing was her pair of heterochromatic eyes, with a blue glow emanating from the edges, giving her a strikingly exotic look.

Next to the woman, there were many younger members of the clan, practicing and sparring. When they saw Lin Langtian, they all stopped their activities and looked at the handsome young man with reverence and admiration.

"It's you, Ke'er. It's already noon, and you're still training?" Lin Langtian smiled faintly as he looked at the woman with heterochromatic eyes.

He was no stranger to this woman. She was none other than Lin Ke'er, the second most talented member of the younger generation in the clan, after him.

Even without the help of the Master Mu, the original owner probably wouldn't have been able to surpass her.

And in the original timeline, Lin Ke'er seemed to be the only one among the younger generation of the clan who had a favorable impression of Lin Dong.

"Hehe, none of us have talents as great as Brother Langtian's. If we don't work hard, we'll only fall further behind you," Lin Ke'er said with a slight smile, her deep blue eyes fixed on Lin Langtian.

"Yes, I heard that Brother Langtian recently broke through to the Shape Creation stage and was promoted to the position of Elder in charge of law enforcement. We are truly not worthy," added another young man in his twenties, tall and sturdy.

Looking at him, Lin Langtian also recognized him. He was another talented member of the younger generation in the clan, named Lin Chen.

"Alright, stop flattering me. The world is vast, but the Great Yan Empire is small. My achievements are nothing special," Lin Langtian said casually, waving his hand.

Although others took Lin Langtian's words as modesty, Lin Ke'er, with her keen perception, couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt in her heart.

Unlike others, she could sense that Lin Langtian seemed genuinely indifferent.

Thinking of this, Lin Ke'er couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. In her memory, Lin Langtian was not so humble...

As the group conversed, all eyes on the Lin Clan's training ground were on Lin Langtian as he walked over. Everyone's eyes were filled with respect and admiration.

Lin Langtian held high prestige in the Lin Clan, and usually, it was he who personally taught the younger generation martial arts, which made them look up to him even more.

Smiling at everyone, Lin Langtian simply sat down in the training ground, and soon enough, some younger members of the clan came over to seek martial guidance.

Lin Langtian patiently and meticulously taught them, as his past memories allowed him to have the best understanding of martial arts among the younger generation of the clan.

It was precisely because of this that the clan entrusted him with the task of teaching.

This teaching session lasted nearly two hours. Then, as Lin Langtian glanced at the sky, he was about to get up when a calm voice suddenly came.

"Langtian, I knew I would find you here."

As the voice fell, a middle-aged man with a deep aura walked over slowly.

"Greetings, Clan Leader!"

The newcomer was none other than Lin Fan, the patriarch of the Lin Clan.

Seeing Lin Fan, many of the younger generation, including Lin Langtian, were surprised, but they quickly greeted him respectfully.

"Hehe, you are all the future of our Lin Clan, no need to be so formal," Lin Fan said with a wave of his hand, smiling.

"Chief, why do you have time to come to the training ground today? Could it be that you're here to find Brother Langtian?" Lin Ke'er stepped forward and asked with a gentle smile.

"Ke'er, you're indeed clever. Yes, I came to find Langtian," Lin Fan smiled slightly, then looked at Lin Langtian and said.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, then clasped his hands respectfully, "I wonder what Chief has to instruct?"

"It's about the disciple dispatched by the super sect to the Great Yan Empire, Ling Qingzhu. Although she is a VIP of the royal family, as one of the four major clans of the Great Yan Empire, our Lin Clan cannot remain indifferent.

Since you are going to the Imperial Capital, after discussions among the senior members of the clan, it has been decided to entrust you with five hundred thousand pure yuan pellets to establish a good relationship with Ling Qingzhu. Although it's not much, it can still foster some goodwill."

With that, Lin Fan waved his hand, and a black bag fell into Lin Langtian's hand.

"Five hundred thousand pure yuan pellets?" Taking the black bag, Lin Langtian was surprised for a moment, then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Although Lin Fan said that these five hundred thousand pure yuan pellets were meant to establish a good relationship with Ling Qingzhu, Lin Langtian knew that this amount of pure yuan pellets was simply insignificant to her.

In this case, he might as well make good use of it himself.

Although he had this thought in mind, Lin Langtian still replied respectfully, "I will do my best to leave a good impression on Ling Qingzhu for the Lin Clan, Chief."

"That's good. It is said that Ling Qingzhu has a remarkable background. If you can befriend her, it may be of great use in the future," Lin Fan said solemnly.

"Yes, I will do my best," Lin Langtian nodded.

"Chief, since Brother Langtian is going to the Imperial Capital, can we go with him?" Lin Ke'er quickly asked.

As soon as she spoke, the hopeful eyes of the other younger members of the clan were also revealed.

Although Lin City was not much less prosperous than the Imperial Capital, it was still the capital of the Great Yan Empire, which was quite tempting for young people.

Seeing this, Lin Fan looked at Lin Langtian and asked, "Langtian, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Lin Langtian frowned slightly. In his heart, he didn't want to bring along any baggage.

However, as a leader of the younger generation of the clan, he should consider the aspirations of the people. So he replied, "You can come, but only up to five people. Ke'er, Lin Chen, you two discuss who will accompany me."

After thinking it over, Lin Langtian decided to pass the ball back. If it was just five tag-alongs, he could manage.

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's agreement, although there were only five slots available, Lin Ke'er and the others couldn't hide their joy and quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Langtian."

After expressing their gratitude, under Lin Langtian's gaze, the five slots were quickly filled, namely Lin Ke'er, Lin Chen, and two other men and one woman.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian smiled slightly and said, "Rest for the night, and we'll leave for the Imperial Capital tomorrow!"
