Maybe the word “innocence” was not accurate for Lin Xintong as what she insisted on was her dignity and the right to choose her own life.
“Thank you.”
Lin Xintong said solemnly as she looked at Yi Yun. She had never known, prior to this, that Yi Yun wished to cure her of her naturally terminated meridians. If the Lin family or the Shen Tu family clan knew of Yi Yun’s thoughts, they would probably laugh and ridicule, thinking Yi Yun was speaking idiotic nonsense.
However, Lin Xintong did not think so.
“Regardless, I will fight for my own fate. After all, who can tell the future… What I can guarantee you is that, even if the Lin family agrees to ally with the Shen Tu family clan, I will prevent you from being forced to leave.”
Lin Xintong said seriously. Yi Yun knew that Lin Xintong was referring to the feud he had with Shen Tu Nantian.
“Alright, let us not talk about this anymore. The Matriarch had spent a great deal of effort to prepare this party for you.”
Upon saying this, the corners of Lin Xintong’s mouth curled up, revealing a light smile.
Yi Yun naturally understood the meaning behind her words. The Matriarch had probably informed a few female Elders in the family to matchmake suitable girls for Yi Yun.
With a slight turn of his head, Yi Yun noticed that the tall girl who wanted to practice swords with him was speaking to someone else while frequently looking over at him.
The lascivious bodied girl was probably intending to continue the discussion about swords after Lin Xintong left.
Yi Yun embarrassingly knitted his eyebrows. He had little experience in such events, be it in his previous and present life.
…
The party lasted for six hours and only ended late into the night.
In the end, the girls who had solicited Yi Yun wasn’t that many. This was because Lin Xintong was beside Yi Yun most of the night. At the beginning, both of them chatted about the situation regarding the Lin family and the Shen Tu family clan. It was considered “official business”.
Later on, they began chatting about anything under the sun.
Originally, Lin Xintong thought that Yi Yun’s insight would be lacking and that she could not talk about a lot of things. She had planned to tell Yi Yun about the current situation of the Tian Yuan world and the interesting historical facts.
However, when they really began chatting, Lin Xintong found out that Yi Yun was the one speaking most of the time while she was the one listening.
Yi Yun seemed to have endless amounts of interesting tidbits in his head.
Yi Yun naturally knew very little about this world.
However, in his previous life, where he lived in the explosive information age and had the Internet in his hand through a divine device, the strange things he knew far exceeded what this world had.
He adapted many of the bizarre events and blurred out the temporal background, turning it into an interesting story for this world.
Especially the hilarious jokes on the Internet were endless in scope. It was completely beyond the limits of this world’s warriors where cultivation was at the forefront.
In the beginning, Lin Xintong told Yi Yun some interesting historical facts, but soon, she realized that the interesting facts she knew were boring compared to what Yi Yun mentioned.
Later on, Lin Xintong was very happy to just quietly listen. She would sporadically cover her mouth as she chuckled. Sometimes, she would even widen her bright dark eyes and say stuff like, “That cannot be so right?”, “Where did you you hear all this from?”, “It is so interesting”.
The surrounding Lin family’s juniors were shocked upon seeing Yi Yun chat like that with Lin Xintong. Their impression of Lin Xintong was that she was a quiet and reserved person who did not laugh or talk much.
They felt that the number of times they had seen Lin Xintong laugh over the ten plus years was less than the number of times she laughed that night.
