After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chu is seven years old.

They also successfully broke through to the Fusion stage.

On his birthday, the entire Tianlan City was bustling with activity once again.

The main hall of the ancestral temple was filled with guests.

Lin Chu sat at the head of the table, propping her face up with one hand and holding a spirit fruit in the other, casually feeding the panda at her feet.

The panda squatted at his feet, its two front paws holding the spirit fruit, making a crunching sound as it gnawed on it.

Lin Chu himself was the focus of everyone's attention in the hall.

The seven-year-old boy wore a moon-white fairy robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his hair was tied up with a simple white jade hairpin.

Her features were exquisitely perfect, yet her eyes held a languid ease and composure beyond her years.

Some say that the third young master of the Lin family, just sitting there, is already like a painting.

No one thinks this statement is an exaggeration.

Lin Chu herself also felt the changes in herself.

It's true that it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance.

When he was the city lord in the Xuan Tian Realm, he carried the majesty of a superior, his authority was so great that people dared not look him in the eye.

But in the past few years in the Taixu Spirit Realm, he has lived a life of luxury, fawned over by everyone, and even a phoenix has pulled his carriage.

That murderous aura has long been worn away, replaced by an innate nobility.

This kind of elegance doesn't need to be faked or put on airs.

Even if he stands in a crowd and doesn't say a word, others will know that he comes from an extraordinary background.

After feeding Gun Gun, Lin Chu looked up and glanced around the hall.

His father, Lin Lan, and mother, Ji Muwan, sat beside him, one dignified and the other gentle, their eyes filled with undisguised doting affection.

The birthday banquet was a lively affair, with vassal families from all sides coming forward one after another to offer their congratulations.

When it was the Qi family's turn, Lin Chu raised her eyes.

The leader of the Qi family is Qi Jun's older brother, Qi Yan.

He looks like a young man, with a calm face and gentle temperament, but he is said to be over a hundred years old.

He was considered one of the most outstanding among the younger generation in the Lin family's vassal clans.

Qi Jun followed behind his brother, winking and making a funny face at Lin Chu.

Lin Chu chuckled at the sight, a slight smile curving her lips.

Qi Jun was one of the few good friends he had in Tianlan City.

They didn't come purely out of self-interest or to curry favor.

We just get along well.

Qi Yan stepped forward, bowed respectfully, presented his congratulatory gift, and uttered a string of auspicious words.

Lin Chu nodded slightly, about to look away, when her peripheral vision suddenly stopped.

He saw a familiar figure at the rear of the Qi family's ranks.

Lin Chu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Feather Saint?

He was standing behind a middle-aged demon with his head down.

The middle-aged demon was positioned in the middle to rear of the Qi family's formation.

Judging from his position, his status doesn't seem to be very high.

Yu Sheng, on the other hand, kept his head down, not daring to even look up.

Lin Chu stared at that figure for several breaths.

A slow smile crept onto his lips.

interesting.

That's so interesting.

A domain lord whose domain name is famous throughout the world.

Now, in Tianlan City, he stands at the end of a vassal family's line, head bowed, not daring to even look him in the eye.

After offering their congratulations, the Qi family withdrew with their entourage.

Yu Sheng followed in the procession, and only dared to slowly raise his head after they left the main hall.

He glanced instinctively in the direction of the head of the table.

He met Lin Chu's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and his mouth involuntarily opened.

After the Qi family members left, Lin Chu withdrew her gaze, picked up the immortal wine in front of her, and took a sip.

He didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly delighted.

"Lord Territory Lord."

"How have you been?"

……

Yu Sheng followed the Qi family's procession, keeping his head down as he walked out of the main hall.

His back was as stiff as an iron plate.

It wasn't until I stepped outside the hall and was hit by a gust of wind that I realized my back was completely soaked.

"impossible."

"Absolutely impossible."

That kid is clearly in the Xuan Tian Realm, clearly a lowly ant from the lower realms.

"How could this Void Spirit Realm be like this...?"

Yu Sheng gritted his teeth, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

"How could there be someone who looks like him?"

"His name is still Lin Chu."

He repeatedly tried to reassure himself.

coincidence.

"Yes...it's a coincidence."

Yu Sheng muttered to himself.

Even so, his face was still frighteningly pale.

……

After the birthday banquet ended, Lin Chu did not rush to find Yu Sheng.

He just slowly teased the panda, breaking off pieces of the spiritual fruit in his hand to feed it.

Gun Gun ate with gusto, clinging tightly to his little leg.

He summoned Qi Jun to his bedchamber.

"Third Young Master! You were looking for me?"

"Sit down." Lin Chu pointed to the jade stool opposite her.

Qi Jun didn't stand on ceremony. He plopped down, grabbed a spirit fruit from the table, and took a bite.

"Third Young Master, is something fun happening again?"

"I'd like to ask you about someone," Lin Chu said slowly.

"Who?"

"The demon clan member who was following behind you in your Qi family's group today."

Qi Jun paused for a moment while chewing the fruit.

"You mean Feather Saint?"

"Um."

Qi Jun scratched his head: "Him? He's from the Yu clan, a descendant of the Golden-Winged Roc. However, in recent years, the Yu clan has been suppressed by Longyuan and had no choice but to seek refuge with our Qi family."

"Longyuan?" Lin Chu raised her eyes.

"The Dragon Clan's territory is incredibly powerful. Somehow, the Yu Clan offended the Dragon Abyss and was forced to hide and run away. In the end, when they had nowhere else to go, they turned to our Qi Clan for help."

He paused, a hint of smugness on his face: "However, no matter how ruthless Longyuan is, he wouldn't dare to make a move on Tianlan City's territory. That's how the Yu clan settled down. Now they're considered vassals of our Qi family, running errands and doing odd jobs."

Lin Chu listened, seemingly lost in thought.

Dragons.

Suppress Yu Sheng.

Putting these two words together, it's hard not to think of one person.

Ao Tianxin.

Could it be her?

Lin Chu muttered to herself.

It makes perfect sense to say that Longyuan's actions against Yu Sheng were orchestrated by Ao Tianxin.

"What a pity," Lin Chu sighed.

"My mother said that I am not allowed to leave Tianlan City until I reach the Mahayana stage."

Qi Jun leaned closer, looking curious: "Third Young Master, you're asking this because the Feather Saint offended you?"

Lin Chu shook her head.

"fine."

"I'm just a little interested in the Golden-Winged Roc."

Qi Jun simply said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.

He wasn't one to overthink things, so if Lin Chu said it was nothing, then it was nothing.

After chatting for a while longer, Qi Jun got up to take his leave.

After he left, Lin Chu sat alone in the hall, tapping the edge of the table with her fingers.

Of course, he could find Yu Sheng right now and eliminate him.

Given his status, it would be a simple matter of a word.

But he refused.

Even if we are going to take action, there's no rush.

"He must have seen me in the main hall."

"And then, thinking about my name..."

Lin Chu's lips slowly curled up into a smile.

"This kind of uncertain fear must be very difficult to endure."

"Then you should just take your time and endure it."
