Chapter 779 If I had killed you a few minutes earlier, you wouldn't have been happy.

Time flies, and nearly two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The biggest change in the past two years has been in the Lin family of Qingyang Town, or more precisely, in the rapid breakthrough of Lin Dong in the Ancestral Stone Realm.

During this time, Lin Dong obtained a Fire Python Tiger from the Hunting Tournament, acquired the land deed for Ironwood Manor with his family, and discovered the Yang Yuan Stone mine beneath Ironwood Manor.

But he truly lives up to his protagonist's fate; every time he feels sleepy, someone comes to offer him a pillow.

First, the only talisman master in Yan City passed on all his knowledge to him, and then he made a life-or-death duel with Yue Shan, a bandit at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm.

Of course.

Fu Ye did not allow Lin Xia, whose strength had already reached the Nirvana Realm, to take action in this matter.

After all, if she gets involved in this matter, then there's no point in continuing.

The day of the life-or-death battle.

Yancheng.

"Master, the grapes are very sweet this season!"

Beside the arena where the life-or-death battle was taking place, Lin Xia peeled grapes for Fu Ye with a smile in her eyes, but the core disciples of the Lin family not far from her all had worried expressions.

Fu Ye sat up lazily, thoroughly enjoying being fed by his obedient disciple.

When Qingtan saw this scene, her little mouth was almost pouting to the sky.

"Brother Fu Ye is bad. He doesn't want Qing Tan anymore now that he has Sister Lin Xia."

Seeing this, Feng Qing'er, who was sitting to the side, just silently watched Qing Tan's aggrieved little expression, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

For her, watching her little sister Qingtan get jealous was the biggest pastime of her day.

"Hehe, Qingtan, don't be angry. Come and eat grapes with me."

Lin Xia is quite good at coaxing children, and she calmed Xiao Qingtan down in no time.

However, Lin Zhentian, the head of the Lin family standing at the back, was completely stunned when he heard Lin Xia address Fu Ye.

What was the name his eldest granddaughter used to address Lord Fu Ye just now?
Master?!
His eldest granddaughter has become the disciple of the powerful Fu Ye!

When did this happen? How come he doesn't know?
Soon, Lin Zhentian turned his gaze to his eldest son, Lincoln.

Lincoln was completely bewildered. He only knew that his daughter often went to the back mountain to play with Qingtan, but he had no idea that his daughter had become a disciple of Master Ye.

At this moment, Lin Mang and Lin Xiao were also incredulous, after all, they were completely unaware of this matter.

After witnessing this scene, Lin Hong was very envious of Lin Xia becoming a disciple of Ye.

But having gone through so much, he also knew in his heart that some things were simply beyond his reach.

Even Lin Dong, the most talented member of their family, couldn't become his disciple. So what makes him worthy of becoming his disciple?

In Lin Hong's view, a large part of the reason why Lin Xia was able to become a disciple of the mysterious expert Fu Ye was probably related to Qing Tan.

Everyone in the Lin family knows that Lord Fu Ye dotes on Qing Tan the most, and Qing Tan and Lin Xia practically grew up together.

Thinking of this, Lin Hong only regretted that he was a man.
He hadn't seen Lin Xia display her cultivation level for two and a half years, and she had always maintained a nonchalant attitude towards her family's situation.

It's very likely because her cultivation level had already surpassed everyone in the family, and even Yue Shan, who was at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm, was no match for her.

Soon, Lin Zhentian arrived at Fu Ye's side.

"Lord Fu Ye, have you really accepted Lin Xia as your disciple?"

Lin Zhentian was clearly still in shock, his breathing slightly labored. "Yes, Lin Xia is now my disciple, and she will leave here with us in the future."

Fu Ye's response was very calm, while Lin Zhentian's pupils trembled slightly, and Lin Xia looked at her grandfather Lin Zhentian and father Lincoln with a hint of apology.

"Grandpa, Father, I have promised Lord Fu Ye that I will leave with him and Qing'er in the future."

Lin Xia wanted to say something more, but Lin Zhentian just burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!! Good, good, Lin Xia, you just stay by Lord Fu Ye's side. Grandpa will handle the Lin family's affairs!"

Which grandfather doesn't want his grandchildren to have a better future?
In Lin Zhentian's view, it was entirely due to luck that his granddaughter was able to become the disciple of the mysterious and powerful Fu Ye!

He had already heard from his third son, Lin Xiao, that Lin Dong had once wanted to become Master Ye's apprentice, but was directly rejected by the other party.

Although Lin Xia was introduced by Qing Tan, this also means that she will definitely rise to prominence in the future by following Fu Ye!

"Thank you, Grandpa, for making it possible!"

The commotion at the Lin family's place was naturally witnessed by Yue Shan, the bandit leader on the arena.

Seeing that they were now facing certain death and still gloating, a hint of anger flashed between their brows.

"What, Lin Dong hasn't arrived yet? I can't wait to torture and kill all the men in your Lin family and sell all the women to brothels!"

Yue Shan's voice was full of energy, but Fu Ye frowned slightly after hearing his words.

After noticing Fu Ye's expression, Lin Xia struck Yue Shan with a palm strike almost without hesitation.

"哐——!!!"

A terrifying sonic boom exploded on the arena, and Yue Shan, who had been extremely arrogant, almost instinctively dodged after feeling the terror of the palm strike.

"Boom--!!"

The powerful impact kicked up a cloud of dust, and a terrifying roar echoed across the arena.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Yue Shan emerged from the scene, his pupils wide with shock and his body disheveled.

His chest heaving violently indicated the tension and panic he was experiencing.

But after Lin Xia delivered that powerful palm strike, the entire arena fell silent.

"Gulu."

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Zhentian couldn't help but gasp, but this was quickly followed by boundless excitement and exhilaration.

Without using any martial arts techniques, a single palm strike from mid-air was enough to suppress a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm!
Just then, he slowly stood up, his lazy voice echoing throughout the entire training ground.

"Wouldn't it be better to just stand there and wait to die? You wouldn't be happy if I slapped you to death beforehand."

Fu Ye moved languidly and spoke casually, but his demeanor was full of domineering arrogance.

"Who exactly are you?! How could the Lin family possibly be involved?"

But before he could say anything, Fu Ye silenced him with a single tap of his hand.

“I’m not a member of the Lin family, just a tenant. Xiaoxia has become my apprentice, so she’s no longer a member of the Lin family, and you don’t need to fight her.”

"In the end, it was you, Yue Shan, who got a good deal. Otherwise, with your Yuan Dan realm cultivation, you probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even a wisp of her aura."

Only now did the Lin family realize just how terrifying this mysterious Lord Fu Ye truly was. (End of Chapter)
