The disciples of the Lin family found it a relief. Previously when Song Ziyue was being extremely arrogant, they had suppressed their fiery anger in their hearts.
Against Lin Ziyan’s Guanyin Flower Picking Hand, Song Ziyue’s expression turned solemn. Although he was confident in the traps he had set, Lin Ziyan was no normal person. Before Song Ziyue participated in this tea session, he had gained some understanding of the Lin family’s younger generation. Lin Ziyan was one of the opponents whom he had paid close attention to.
Three years ago, before Lin Ziyan went out on a training expedition, she was already famous. Now, returning after three years, it was very difficult to tell how powerful she was!
“Dear nephew Nantian, what do you think of our Lin family’s disciple’s technique?” Lin Xintong’s grandaunt said proudly beside Shen Tu Nantian. Lin Ziyan was one of her direct descendants, so she had always been proud of Lin Ziyan.
However, when Lin Ziyan was young, she had not been able to reveal much of her talent. Back then, she did not enjoy a lot of resources and was even worse off than Lin Xintong. This made the woman in palatial attire very unfriendly towards a young Lin Xintong.
“Very good! The Lin family has geniuses in every generation. It will only prosper with each day!”
Shen Tu Nantian went with the flow and praised Lin Ziyan.
The woman in palatial gown was pleased as she glanced at Su Jie, “Elder Su, you sure did well by taking in this in-name disciple of yours. He is a rare stock that is almost impossible to get. At the Jade Bamboo peak, he spoke rashly without considering the age hierarchy. Now, at this tea session, in such a solemn scene, his brain went to mush and went on stage rashly. It really causes people to be dumbfounded! Thankfully Ziyan is here today, if not your disciple would have thrown the Lin family’s face.”
The woman in palatial attire mocked with a mean tone. She had never been on good terms with Su Jie. Back at the Jade Bamboo peak, she had already went at odds against Yi Yun and was unhappy about it. Now, with this matter, Yi Yun had embarrassed the Lin family, while Ziyan had made the Lin family proud, so how could she not take the opportunity to flaunt?
As for offending Su Jie, she had already done so at the Jade Bamboo peak, so she did not care much.
Su Jie’s expression sank. His character was originally of the proud sort, but now with the woman enumerating his faults in public, he became extremely pissed. However, since logic was against him, he had no right to retort.
“Hehe, the Lin family’s disciples are so active. Elder Su’s disciple should be praised for his courage!” Shen Tu Nantian said with a smile. He did not wish to offend Su Jie. After all, Su Jie was extremely important to Lin Xintong.
As for Yi Yun, Shen Tu Nantian completely ignored him. With his status, and in a situation where he was unable to recognize Yi Yun, he would not pay much attention to such a small fry.
“However… My Shen Tu family clan has even more heroes. Some of them might even exceed Grandaunt’s expectations!”
Shen Tu Nantian turned towards the woman in palatial attire again. His words were full of confidence. He believed that the preparations the Shen Tu family clan had made would greatly surprise the Lin family. He was looking forward to that scene.
“Oh? Exceed my expectations?” The woman’s interest was caught. “That would be interesting. Then let us see if Ziyan will also be able to surprise dear nephew Nantian!”
Against the woman’s self-confidence, Shen Tu Nantian smiled without saying a word. He appeared inscrutable.
…
At this moment, on the square, as Lin Ziyan’s forming of seals became even faster, layers of finger shadows began forming from her ten fingers. Runes after runes flew out like young swallows and into Song Ziyue’s array.
And in the center of the group where Lin Ziyan was forming a seal was one of the wood-elemental desolate bones in Song Ziyue’s array.
