Lin Canghai nodded with a smile and turned to the crowd. "Today's matter is this old man's fault. I will compensate everyone who loses their loved ones. Each one of you will be given one million low-grade Profound Stones and free of charge from staying in my Lin clan's inns. At the same time, you can buy anything in my Lin Trading Firm with fifty percent discount."
Lin Canghai's words caused an uproar among the crowd. From sadness turned into excitement in a mere second. One had to know even if they worked their ass off for their whole life, they wouldn't probably earn this much Profound Stones.
Yun Lintian stared at Lin Canghai with a thoughtful expression. As the old says, the older ginger, the spicier it gets. With this simple method alone, one could easily see Lin Canghai was a scheme mind person. Not only could he boost the Lin clan's reputation, but he also smoothly solved everything in one go. Facing such enormous benefits, no one here would be stubborn enough to chase after this incident until the end.
Lin Canghai raised his hand, and the crowd was gradually silent, waiting for his following sentence. "All of you can go visit my Lin Trading Firm after this to redeem your compensation. I've already left a mark on all of you. Don't worry. It will disappear when you receive your compensation."
"We thank Patriarch Lin." The crowd said in unison and rushed toward the city after collecting their beloved's remains.
"I'll take my leave first, Palace Master Han." Lin Canghai said to Han Bingling and turned to Yun Lintian. His gaze paused at Linlin for a moment and said. "We will meet again, young man."
Following, Lin Canghai waved his hand to lift Lin Changkong and disappeared from the place.
Han Bingling looked at the frenzied crowd for a moment and descended from the sky, landing before Yun Lintian.
Instantaneously, Han Bingling's gaze met with Yun Qianxue, and both of them stared at each other for a long time. Yun Lintian could feel an invisible crash between them and decided to stay out of this matter for his own good.
"So you are the famous Snow Cloud Fairy." Han Bingling said with a charming smile. "You indeed deserve to be the number one beauty in Heavenly Fortune Nation." Although Yun Qianxue was wearing a veil, Han Bingling could easily see her face clearly with her powerful Spiritual Sense.
"I don't dare to accept a compliment from a lofty person like you, Palace Master Han. However, I must thank you for helping my Lintian earlier." Yun Qianxue replied plainly. "I heard the legendary Frozen Moon Palace before. Seeing you today, everything people said seems to be true. You are indeed 'easy' going and approachable."
Yun Lintian's mouth twitched slightly, and he did not dare to say a word. They seemed to give each other compliments, but there was actually a battle intent within their words.
Han Bingling and Yun Qianxue stared at each other for a while and said nothing further.
Yun Lintian saw the atmosphere was not good. He mustered up his courage and said. "Why don't we enter the city first? I want to take a rest a bit."
"Good idea." Han Bingling said. Before she could say anything further, Yun Qianxue directly interrupted her.
"Thank you for your goodwill. We can find a place to say ourselves." Yun Qianxue said emotionlessly. She had guessed what Han Bingling wanted to say earlier.
Han Bingling curled her lips and responded. "Alright, we shall meet again later."
"I think we better not. After all, Palace Master Han should be busy with your affair, right? We don't want to waste your precious time." Yun Qianxue quickly responded.
Han Bingling stared at Yun Qianxue for a moment and smiled charmingly. "Interesting." Afterward, he vanished from the spot.
Yun Qianxue turned to Yun Lintian and said plainly. "You shouldn't contact her in the future. She's not a good person as you think."
What else could Yun Lintian say right now? He nodded his head and changed the topic. "Let's go. Meilan should be waiting for us for a long time now." With that, Yun Lintian led everyone to the city gate.
"Name?" A stout guard asked as he raised his head to look at Yun Lintian.
"Yun Lintian." Yun Lintian replied truthfully, after carefully thinking. There was no need to use a fake name further, as he had already been exposed to the public earlier.
The moment he decided to fight Lin Wuwei, Yun Lintian felt as though he had been freed from shackles. In the past, he constantly moved with caution and avoided trouble as much as he could. Now, he had the ability to fight the enemy head-on and no need to run whenever he encountered the enemy anymore. This should be the right way to be a profound practitioner.
Of course, Yun Lintian did not become arrogant or overestimated himself. He was simply confident in himself more than before. And if he wanted to establish the number one sect in the world, he couldn't always play hide and seek with the enemy forever, right?
"Drop your blood here." The stout guard pointed at a small transparent crystal on a table nearby.
Yun Lintian cut the tip of his finger and dripped his blood on the crystal. A beautiful white light immediately burst out from the crystal, and it lasted for ten seconds before it died down.
"You've passed the test. Here is your personal token. If you lose it, you have to go to the association hall and make anew." The stout guard handed a hexagon jade token with Yun Lintian's name on it to Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian received it, looking at it for a moment, and put it away. He then brought Linlin into his embrace and asked. "How do we check on her?"
The stout guard motioned with his chin at the crystal and said. "It's the same. Drop its blood on it."
Yun Lintian nodded and took one of Linlin's paws. "Linlin, it will hurt a bit. Are you okay?"
Linlin nodded her head and let Yun Lintian cut a small wound on her paw.
However, instead of dropping Linlin's blood, Yun Lintian secretly dropped an Origin Profound Beast's blood from his interspatial ring on the crystal.
