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

Lin Yuan is leaving.

Lin Che stood beside him, carrying his large sword on his back, unusually silent.

Lin Chu glanced at her second brother, then looked at Lin Yuan, as if she wanted to say something, but Lin Yuan spoke first.

"I know what you're going to say."

Then, he patted him on the shoulder.

"rest assured."

Suddenly, Lin Che shoved his knife into the ground and stiffened his neck.

"Brother, I'll go back with you."

Lin Chu and Lin Yuan both looked at him.

Lin Che said matter-of-factly, "Why are you looking at me? With my brother in this state, how could I let him go alone?"

Lin Yuan frowned: "I'm not crippled."

"That won't work either." Lin Che chuckled. "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to reach the Golden Immortal level. Next time I come in, I can just start all over again."

Lin Che stretched out his arm and hooked Lin Chu's neck.

"Your task is to keep moving upwards."

"We've taken care of everything that needed to be done."

"We found the little sister."

Lin Chu nodded emphatically.

"I will."

Lin Che looked at Jian Li again and gave a winking smile.

"Sister-in-law... oh no, Master of the Glazed Sword."

"I'm entrusting my brother to you."

Jian Li, who had been keeping a straight face, couldn't help but smile when she heard the words "sister-in-law".

She raised her chin and said earnestly, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will be able to harm a single hair on Master's head."

Lin Chu reached out and patted Lin Che's shoulder hard, speechless.

Lin Yuan looked at the group of women. Although he wasn't particularly worried about Lin Chu's safety, he still spoke up.

"Don't die."

Lin Chu's lips twitched.

"Brother, I should be the one saying this to you."

Lin Yuan rarely showed a smile, and said no more.

Lin Chu escorted the two brothers to the teleportation array.

Activating the array, Lin Yuan stepped in first, followed by Lin Che, who turned back to glance at Lin Chu one last time.

"I'm gone."

The two figures disappeared into a burst of light.

Lin Chu stood there, gazing for a long while.

Only after the glow on the teleportation array completely dimmed did they slowly withdraw their gaze.

"We should go too."

He turned his head and looked at Qinglian.

Qinglian stood at the back of the group, holding a small bunch of wildflowers she had picked up from somewhere, and was glancing over in this direction.

Seeing Lin Chu looking over, he quickly straightened up and moved his feet somewhat awkwardly.

Lin Chu hesitated for a moment, then walked up to her.

"I can take you up there."

Qinglian's eyes lit up instantly.

"but."

Lin Chu spoke calmly.

"You must lead me to your young lady."

Qinglian was taken aback at first, then immediately nodded, afraid that Lin Chu would change her mind.

"good!"

"I'll take you to her!"

"As long as I get close enough, I can sense the young lady's location."

Her voice was a little dry, but unusually firm.

He thought to himself: I can't worry about how to explain things to the young lady right now.

No matter how powerful these people are, they could never harm the young lady in the slightest.

Lin Chu nodded: "That's enough."

Qinglian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile.

Great.

With them leading the way, the chances of finding Cang Li increased significantly.

This person had saved my life and was easier to talk to than I had imagined.

The rest is just to try not to hold anyone back.

Qinglian gripped the jade pendant tightly and caught up with the group.

Jian Li walked beside Lin Chu and glanced at Qing Lian.

Qinglian smiled ingratiatingly at her.

Jian Li snorted and looked away.

From that day on, a little tagalong appeared in the group.

……

Two months passed in a blink of an eye.

Lin Chu and his group officially entered the thirty-ninth level of the Imperial Road.

When the news spread, the entire Imperial Road was in an uproar.

"The thirty-ninth floor?"

"How long has it been since you came in?!"

"The thirty-ninth floor is a place that countless geniuses can never reach in their entire lives."

"The people around him are all outrageous, one after another."

There's no need to look at the rankings on the imperial stele anymore.

The name Lin Chu remained firmly on the top of the thirty-ninth floor.

Even in front of Jian Li.

Ao Tianxin and others have also made progress.

The four sword servants also ranked highly.

The entire first half of the Imperial Road was filled with talk of this team.

No one compares themselves to them anymore.

Because the gap is so large, comparison is meaningless.

……

Meanwhile, in the Taixu Spirit Realm, in Tianlan City.

During this period, the entire city was almost entirely immersed in a jubilant atmosphere.

News of the Third Young Master's triumphant advance and his killing of high-ranking officials at the Imperial Road was reported every few days.

Not to mention the collateral branches, even the older generation in the direct line who are usually arrogant now have a sense of pride when they talk about Lin Chu.

"You didn't see it, all the private rooms in those restaurants in the east of the city have been booked by outsiders."

"Everyone says they want to absorb some of the Third Young Master's ethereal aura."

"Get involved my ass, I think they're just here to join in the fun."

Laughter never stopped in the Lin clan's territory.

A servant privately remarked that the family's several elders, who were originally extremely difficult to please, had recently become much more amiable.

He even smiled and nodded when he saw people.

The brothers Lin Yuan and Lin Che returned to their family more than a month ago.

No one knows why they left Dilu.

However, Lin Zhentian and Ji Hongxuan personally intervened and suppressed the matter.

Lin Zhentian led Lin Yuan into Taichu City.

Although the people in the tribe were curious, no one dared to inquire.

For a time, all sorts of rumors circulated in Tianlan City.

Some say that Lin Yuan obtained an unparalleled opportunity and returned to seclusion.

Some say Lin Yuan suffered a hidden injury and returned to heal.

However, these rumors did not last long.

Soon, news spread that Lin Yuan had broken through to the Xuanxian realm.

"After returning from the Imperial Road, both the eldest and second young masters experienced significant breakthroughs in their cultivation!"

"Then why did they come back?"

"Could it be that he gained some insights during the Imperial Path and returned to secluded cultivation to digest them?"

"Mind your own business. Anyway, all three of us Lin brothers are geniuses."

……

Longyuan.

The territory of the Ao tribe.

Unlike the bustling atmosphere in Tianlan City, the Ao tribe is now truly triumphant.

In the past, at gatherings of the four tribes, when the representative of the Ao tribe spoke, no one else would even bother to lift their eyelids.

What about now?

Before the Ao clan even arrived, several other families were already waiting.

"That girl from the Ao tribe has truly risen to prominence in the Imperial Road."

"Who can argue with that?"

After Ao Yu broke through the barrier and emerged from seclusion, the entire Ao clan underwent a complete transformation.

Everyone in the clan walks with a brisk pace.

The female elders who forced Ao Tianxin to marry a while ago are now too afraid to even breathe.

When you see a younger member of the clan, you should take the initiative to give them a word of advice.

"Don't be arrogant in public. Leave some dignity for Miss Tianxin."

"If I find out anyone is abusing the Lin family name, don't blame me for using the clan rules to deal with them."

The people below responded in unison.

Only one young dragon, who had recently taken human form, muttered, "So, our family... isn't relying on the four clans anymore, but on our son-in-law instead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him covered his mouth.

"Are you trying to kill yourself? Can't you just say things so plainly?"

"Waaah..."
