With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

Both Old Lin and Lin Ruhai looked at Ye Yaocheng with curiosity.

Even Lin Qingxue, who was being held in his arms, temporarily forgot her awkward situation, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling as she stared at him.

Ye Yaocheng smiled slightly, and after a moment of suspense, said, "I am not very capable, but I subdued the Black Dragon Society, an underground force, in Linjiang."

"Under my tutelage, their current strength... is not too bad."

"With their help, what are your chances of regaining control of the Lin family, Old Master Lin?"

Old Lin's eyes flickered.

Black Dragon Society?

He had, of course, heard about it.

During this period, the underground forces that were gaining momentum in Linjiang swallowed up two other forces, becoming the dominant force.

If such a force were to provide covert assistance, then many things that are inconvenient to do openly could be entrusted to them.

The odds of winning can be increased by at least 30%.

Lin Ruhai took over the conversation, his eyes filled with surprise.

"I heard before that the Black Dragon Society had simultaneously absorbed two other underground forces, becoming the leader of the underground forces in Linjiang."

"At the time, I was curious about how they did it."

"Now it seems this should be credited to you, young man?"

As the current head of the Lin family, he has always been well aware of the situation in Linjiang.

The ability to simultaneously absorb two other underground forces was definitely not due to luck.

There must be a master guiding them behind the scenes.

Ye Yaocheng did not deny this, but said it casually.

"I only have a slight understanding of alchemy."

"Qin Long, the current leader of the Black Dragon Society, already possesses the strength of the peak Foundation Establishment stage."

"I believe that with the help of my pills, I will be able to break through to the Martial King realm in no time."

"As for the other four hall masters, they are now in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and it shouldn't be too difficult for them to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment soon."

He looked at Old Man Lin and Lin Ruhai, a smile spreading across his face.

"You two can do the math, what do you think of this?"

Old Lin and Lin Ruhai exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

One Foundation Establishment Peak, and four Foundation Establishment Late Stages!

Will it not be long before he becomes a Martial King with four Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators?

This strength is truly terrifying!

Nowadays, there are almost no families in Linjiang that can reach this level.

Only the Lin family can consistently outmaneuver the Black Dragon Society.

Even the Ji family and the Yang family, who are also among the three major families in Linjiang, cannot do it!

One can imagine how unsettled they must have felt.

With the help of the Black Dragon Society, they would have no problem completely taking control of the Lin family!

Old Lin suppressed his shock, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"I naturally believe what you say, young friend."

He smiled slightly.

"But I'm an old man who values ​​human relationships too."

"What are the conditions for getting them involved?"

Ye Yaocheng nodded secretly; experience truly matters.

Dealing with this kind of person doesn't require any deliberate explanation.

He said calmly, "Old Lin, you also know that no matter how powerful Qin Long is, in the end, he still belongs to the underground forces that everyone despises."

"My request is simple: I want them to be able to come down to the ground."

How could Old Lin not understand what "on the ground" meant?

They just wanted to use the Lin family's name to whitewash the Black Dragon Society.

He nodded secretly at Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai understood and said seriously.

"Young brother, you have done my Lin family a great favor."

"If that's what you're saying, then I naturally have no objection."

"Shall we... talk about this in more detail?"

Ye Yaocheng was overjoyed; this opportunity had finally arrived.

With the help of the Lin family, the number one family in Linjiang, and the efforts of Qin Long and his group, they believe they will soon be able to establish a formal family power.

With simultaneous efforts both above and below ground, it will definitely become a top-tier presence in Linjiang!

Thinking this, he unconsciously increased the pressure in his hands.

My heart is filled with excitement.

After planning for so long, his own forces can finally gain a foothold in Linjiang!

Of course, his goal was not limited to Linjiang.

This is just the first step.

"Brother Cheng..."

A plaintive voice sounded in my ear.

"I feel like I'm having trouble breathing."

Ye Yaocheng was taken aback and looked down.

Lin Qingxue was held in his arms, her face flushed, and she was staring at him with her big, watery eyes, looking at him with a hint of resentment.

He looked so wronged.

Ye Yaocheng blushed, coughed dryly, and quickly let go of her hand.

"Ahem... Sorry, I was just lost in thought."

Lin Qingxue gave a soft snort and rolled her eyes at him playfully.

But the love in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Old Master Lin and Lin Ruhai naturally saw this scene, but neither of them said anything.

They are now preoccupied with calculating the pros and cons of the Black Dragon Society joining.

As for providing proof to the Black Dragon Society, that was completely outside their consideration.

With the Lin family's strength, achieving this would be too easy for them.

"it is good."

Old Lin broke the silence first, raising his teacup with a smile.

"Then I wish us... a pleasant cooperation."

Lin Ruhai finally smiled, picked up his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

"The elders of the Lin family made rapid progress during the time my father was in a coma."

he analyzed.

"Over there, there is a powerful expert at the early stage of Martial King."

"And my father, after this period of recuperation, has also recovered to the strength of the early stage of King Wu."

He looked at Ye Yaocheng, his eyes filled with both inquiry and a hint of joy.

"If that Black Dragon Society leader really does break through to the Martial King realm after a while..."

"Then it won't be difficult for us to completely control the Lin family."

Actually, there's one more thing he didn't mention: even if someone doesn't break through to the Martial King level, it doesn't matter.

After all, the involvement of underground forces can solve many problems that cannot be solved openly.

If that's the case, then even if the opponent has a Martial King, they can't fight alone.

Of course, unless they can persuade the Grand Elder.

However, this is impossible.

The eldest elder was Old Master Lin's own brother, and he dedicated his entire life to the Lin family.

He's simply choosing to go into seclusion now because he doesn't want to get involved in this family feud.

This is why the Lin family has been secretly fighting for so long without any results.

Because the strength of both sides is roughly the same.

Therefore, if a powerful force like the Black Dragon Society appears on Elder Lin's side, the situation will definitely be one-sided!

"Alright, since you two agree, I'll contact Qin Long now."

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Ye Yaocheng knew it was his turn to express his opinion.

In situations like these, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

In front of the two of them, he took out his phone and dialed Qin Long's number.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Qin Long's respectful voice came quickly from the other end of the phone.

"If you have some free time these next couple of days, come visit the Lin family."

Ye Yaocheng's words were concise and to the point.

"There's a collaboration here. If it goes well, the plan we've been working on should be completed very soon."

There was a three-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, Qin Long's voice was filled with barely suppressed elation.

"My lord, is this true? That's wonderful!"

"Could you give me two more days?"

"I am absolutely certain I can break through to the Martial King level within two days!"

Hearing the other party's confident voice, Ye Yaocheng's lips curled up slightly.

He gave a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.

He looked up, staring at Old Man Lin and Lin Ruhai with a smile.

He didn't say anything.

Everything is understood without words.

He believed that the other party would give him a reasonable answer.

As expected, the shock in the eyes of Elder Lin and Lin Ruhai was impossible to conceal.

If I had previously thought Ye Yaocheng was exaggerating...

Now, there's really no way to explain it anymore.

More importantly, the other party claimed they were confident they could break through to the Martial King level within the next two days?!

How certain must one be to say that?!

"hehe……"

Lin Laoqian chuckled.

"Young friend Ye, what are you saying? How could I not believe you?"

"I was just...too shocked."

He stood up, his attitude becoming respectful.

"Come, today I, this old man, will personally host a banquet to entertain my young friend!"

Without saying another word, she pulled Ye Yaocheng to the restaurant.

The banquet was lavish, featuring all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.

During this time, Mr. Lin became more and more satisfied with Ye Yaocheng.

Especially when he saw Lin Qingxue, who was always sticking to him, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

After they had almost finished eating, Old Lin gave Lin Ruhai a wink.

Lin Ruhai immediately understood, and the two of them made an excuse and tactfully left.

Only Lin Qingxue and Ye Yaocheng remained.

How could Lin Qingxue not understand her grandfather's meaning?

Her face flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly, saying, "Brother Cheng... let me take you to your room to rest."

Ye Yaocheng's heart fluttered as he looked at her shy and bashful appearance.

He nodded with a smile and followed her to an exquisite guest room.

The room was dimly lit.

Lin Qingxue stood by the bed, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, not daring to look up.

Ye Yaocheng is a very proactive person, especially at times like this. He immediately walked over and gently put his arm around her waist.

"Qingxue..."

"Um?"

She looked up, her eyes glistening with tears.

That night.

Spring breezes come and go, and red candles flicker.

……

The next morning.

When Ye Yaocheng woke up, Lin Qingxue was still fast asleep.

Her face was flushed with satisfaction, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Ye Yaocheng lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

I got up and tidied my clothes.

During his trip to the Lin family, he explained everything that needed to be explained.

He believed that Qin Long would handle it well.

Next, it's time to head to the Eastern Regions.

Ye Yaocheng pushed open the door, strode away into the morning sunlight.

On the bed, Lin Qingxue turned over and hugged the pillow he had slept on.

A sweet smile appeared on her lips.
