Chapter 735: Chapter 734: Dream Lover

The Lin Family would not involve themselves in any of Wind City’s affairs. Hearing this from Lin Yun, Bai Ling and Patriarch He felt a sense of relief. Lin Yun’s words meant that their Bai and He Families would remain the true leaders of Wind City.

The afternoon passed quickly. By dusk, the patriarchs of Wind City’s major families had all arrived at the Lin Family’s residence, each bearing gifts.

The star of the day was Lin Xiaotian, so the duty of welcoming the various patriarchs naturally fell to him. As for Lin Yun and Zhong Lin, they simply served as his accompaniment.

Lin Yun had arranged this banquet to ensure the Lin Family’s future in Wind City would be a peaceful one. He did not want to see a repeat of the incident with the Li Family.

Lin Yun followed behind Lin Xiaotian, and the patriarchs of Wind City’s major families all knew that the true focus of the day was likely Lin Yun’s father, Lin Xiaotian.

Once all the patriarchs of Wind City’s major families had arrived, the banquet officially began. Because the Lin Mansion was not yet fully built, the dinner was held in the main courtyard.

Held right in the courtyard, surrounded by decorative rockeries and ponds, the banquet had a rather unique charm.

Lin Xiaotian sat in the seat of honor, with Lin Yun and Zhong Lin flanking him on either side. As Lin Yun looked down at the assembled patriarchs, his expression was a little awkward.

’These old-timers certainly are putting on a humble front, and the gifts they brought are truly valuable. Father is clearly happy today, but there’s just one thing...’

Of the seventy family patriarchs in Wind City, more than half had unexpectedly brought the young ladies of their own clans with them.

Lin Yun knew exactly what these old-timers had in mind, bringing so many of their daughters and granddaughters to the Lin Family’s banquet.

Plate after plate of exquisite dishes were served by the maids. Once the food and wine were all laid out, Lin Xiaotian was the first to raise his cup. "Everyone," he said, "I, Lin, thank you all for gracing us with your presence today. Please, let us drain our cups together."

With that, Lin Xiaotian drained his cup in one go. Seeing this, the patriarchs below all followed suit, emptying their cups as well.

As they ate and drank, the atmosphere quickly grew lively. The various patriarchs came one after another to offer a toast to Lin Xiaotian, and he accepted every single one.

At this point, Lin Yun seemed to have been forgotten by the crowd; no one came forward to offer him a toast. However, while the patriarchs might have been ignoring him, the dozens of young women who had come with them were all looking at him with curiosity.

These young women were the precious daughters of Wind City’s major families, and many men in the city considered them the women of their dreams.

Not a single one of the dozens of young women present was unattractive. Furthermore, each of them had a cultivation of at least the Primordial Ocean Realm. Combined with their status, they could indeed capture the hearts of many men in Wind City.

At this moment, however, all of these young women were looking at Lin Yun. They were very curious about this young man who had caused such a stir in the Eastern Domain—just what kind of person was he?

Heroes love beautiful women, and beautiful women naturally love heroes. At such a young age, Lin Yun already had a Spirit Realm cultivation. Even the former Five Great Demon Fiends of the Eastern Domain were now nothing more than beings he could kill with a flick of his wrist.

Combined with his handsome features and his powerful, domineering aura, he soon made the hearts of these dozens of young women flutter. They would, of course, be more than willing to marry a man like Lin Yun.

Being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, Lin Yun began to feel a little uncomfortable no matter how hard he tried to ignore it. He muttered quietly, "What in the world are these old-timers thinking?"

In truth, the patriarchs’ actions were not difficult to understand. They had brought the most beautiful young ladies of their respective families entirely for Lin Yun’s sake.

If Lin Yun truly took a fancy to one of their young ladies, their family’s status in Wind City would soar to the heavens overnight.

Just imagine: if one of their own became Lin Yun’s woman, who in Wind City would dare to offend their family?

Lin Yun drank alone, feeling quite exasperated. Before long, however, a few of the bolder young women approached his side and spoke to him with a gentle smile.

"Young Master Lin, would you care to have a drink with us?"

Although these young women were not as beautiful as Lu Bingning and the other two, they carried themselves with the grace of well-bred ladies. Lin Yun did not refuse their invitation and raised his cup with a smile.

The banquet continued late into the night before finally concluding. The patriarchs of the various families left one after another, and at last, Bai Ling and Patriarch He also took their leave.

Tonight, Lin Yun had truly walked among a hundred flowers, but for him, it was not a pleasant experience.

Feeling tired, Lin Yun excused himself to Lin Xiaotian and Zhong Lin, then returned to his room with Little Ape.

Seated cross-legged and alone in his room, Lin Yun’s thoughts turned to the Spiritual Light Pavilion. ’Only the Spiritual Light Pavilion is left in the alliance now. I wonder if the people from the Spiritual Light Main Pavilion have reached the Eastern Domain yet.’

He pondered for a moment. ’There’s no better solution for now. All I can do is wait for word from Meng Liuli.’

He glanced at the view outside his window, then began to cultivate.

The major families had accepted the Lin Family’s move into Wind City. As for the young ladies who had attended the banquet, their minds were all filled with thoughts of Lin Yun as they departed.

With his powerful cultivation and handsome looks, a man like him was undoubtedly the man of these young ladies’ dreams.

However, Lin Yun had shown no interest in them, so these young ladies knew that he probably didn’t think any of them were worthy of his attention.

A silent night passed. After the previous day’s banquet, it was safe to assume that no fool in all of Wind City would dare cause trouble for the Lin Family again. Early the next morning, the major families dispatched their own guards to the Lin Family’s residence to help with the construction of the mansion.

Over a thousand people showed up at once. Lin Xiaotian had originally intended to refuse, but the other families were adamant, leaving him no choice but to accept their favor.

With over a thousand Martial Artists working together, progress was naturally swift. After all, Martial Artists possessed immense strength; a single person could lift a massive, thousand-jin boulder with no effort at all.

At this rate, the renovation work on the Lin Family Mansion would likely be completed in no time.

After cultivating all night and practicing his Martial Skills for a while in the morning, Lin Yun finally went to the main hall at noon to greet his father.

"Yun’er, the major families have all sent their guards to help build the Lin Mansion. It was difficult for me to refuse, so I accepted their goodwill," Lin Xiaotian said, looking at Lin Yun.

Hearing this, Lin Yun told his father not to worry and that he would handle it. Since it was a gesture of goodwill, they might as well accept it. Getting the mansion built quickly would be one less thing to worry about.
