1 Day later.
Lin Chen and Yin Mei Lin finally reached the gate of the Blue Cloud city and lined up in front of the city gate, when they arrived, it was already afternoon.
"isn't that Lin Chen the Lin clan's trash"? ask someone to the others.
"yes it's Lin Chen Lin clan trash, I heard he's been gone for 3 years" said another.
hearing that Yin Mei Lin finally knew how the citizens of the Blue Cloud city behaved towards Lin Chen.
but Lin Chen paid no heed to those whispering whispers about him.
by the time their turn was checked, the gatekeeper briefly looked at Lin Chen and ran a little then hugged Lin Chen as if finding something he had been looking for all along.
"i didn't expect you to leave without a word for me, but thank God you're okay and have come back, I miss you brother Chen so much" said the man who was none other than Qing Ruo while letting go of his embrace.
Qing Ruo was one of Lin Chen's best friends, even though everyone underestimated and insulted Lin Chen, yet Qing Ruo always gave her the support to remain patient and strive for being strong, yet, qing Ruo's cultivation wasn't too bad either, as he was 18 years old already in a 3-star golden shutter.
"excuse me brother Ruo, I was planning to tell you back then, but I didn't have much time" said Lin Chen apologizing to one of his best friends since childhood.
"it's fine brother Chen, but in exchange, brother Chen should treat me to a drink of wine" Qing Ruo said with a smile.
"well I will treat you right now" said Lin Chen and pulled Yin Mei Lin Dan's hand into the city.
Qing Ruo asked permission to accompany her companions briefly to the commander of their squad who was in the guard post.
after a few minutes, Lin Chen and his two friends entered a diner and sat down at the corner table.
"is there anything I can do to help young master?" asked a pretty waitress who approached their table.
"prepare the best food and wine available" said Lin Chen as he gave a bag of cloth that contained 10 gold pieces.
"wait a minute young master, the young master's order will be delivered soon" said the maid as she picked up the bag and passed away.
while waiting for their order to come, Qing Ruo asked where Lin Chen had been all this time.
Lin Chen also told him everything he had gone through and he had passed, but of course he did not tell about the skeleton of the lightning god and the treasures he had found in the cave that became his residence.
moments later, 3 servants brought food and wine to them.
they ate and drank while talking and sometimes they also laughed, but of course Yin Mei Lin did not participate in drinking wine, he only accompanied the two of them to drink while hearing those who continued to talk, sometimes Yin Mei Lin also laughed if there was a funny incident they told.
because it is too cool to share their stories for 3 years, they become forgotten if they are in the tavern and not in the park.
moments later, the manager of the shop approached the three of them.
"sorry young master, young lady, the tavern is closed because it is late at night" said the manager.
"it's okay, master manager, we should apologize for making you wait" said Lin Chen with a smile.
"what if this was the case, sir, you take these 10 gold pieces and let us continue our drinking, because tonight I want to make brother Ruo happy" said Lin Chen, making an offer while giving 10 gold pieces to the manager.
after thinking for a moment, the manager accepted the offer and took the gold coin and passed away.
Lin Chen and Qing Ruo continued their drinking event and continued chatting, Yin Mei Lin also remained faithfully accompanying the two of them until morning welcoming them.
his morning.
Lin Chen asked the manager for permission for him and Yin Mei Lin to take a bath, finished bathing, the two of them went to the Lin clan.
while Qing Ruo had already returned to the front gate to continue his guard duty, because each city soldier had the task of guarding the city gate for 1 week.
now Lin Chen and Yin Mei Lin were already in front of the clan gate.
"wasn't that Lin Chen's trash?" said one of the gatekeepers.
"shut your mouth or I rip your mouth off! said his one guard who was none other than Lin Feng, because Lin Feng and Lin Chen were friends quite well, and he felt Lin Chen was very good to him.
hearing Lin Feng defending her, Lin Chen was quite happy and hugged the man.
"how are you brother Feng?" asked Lin Chen while hugging Lin Feng.
"i'm fine Brother Chen" replied Lin Feng.
after cuddling for a moment, Lin Chen released his embrace and gave 1 piece of storage ring containing dozens of grains of high-level ancient pills and a weapon that was a heavenly-level sword.
"in...this?" said Lin Feng who was trembling after seeing the contents of the storage ring that Lin Chen gave.
"i can't accept his brother Chen, this is too precious, I can't repay you" said Lin Feng after coming to his senses from his shock.
"i would be very disappointed if brother Feng refused my small gift" said Lin Chen as he patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.
"then I go in first Brother Feng, oh yes, my father is fine right?" asked Lin Chen.
"Elder Bai is fine Brother Chen" replied Lin Feng.
after that Lin Chen and Yin Mei Lin entered the clan and headed straight for her house.
arriving at the front of the house, Lin Chen shouted.
"i'm home dad" shouted Lin Chen from outside.
but there was no reply from within, Lin Chen entered the house and followed Yin Mei Lin from behind.
arriving inside, Lin Chen brought Yin Mei Lin to the guest room.
"this is the room for you, come in" said Lin Chen.
"well" replied Yin Mei Lin briefly.
"then I also go to my room" said Lin Chen as he passed away.
Arriving in the room, Lin Chen laid down his body and stared at the sky room until he fell asleep.
***
The clan hall.
"what about the preparation of his first elder?" asked a middle-aged man who was sitting in the main seat who was none other than the Patria of the Lin Tian clan.
"so far we only have 3 Patriarch participants" replied the first elder or commonly called elder dong or Lin dong.
"Yes already if there are only 3 people who enter the criteria to enter the competition between clans" said Lin Tian.
"the competition is only 6 months away, I hope the three of them are really ready to enter the competition" said Lin Tian.
the three young men in question were Lin Dan, Lin Yue and Lin fan.
in fact, each clan at least prepares their participants amounted to 5 people, but because of who are in the golden shutter there are only 3 people, but because there are only 3 people, therefore only the three of them are allowed to compete in the young tournament which will be held in the blue cloud city in 6 months.
now cultivating Lin Dan in the 4-star gold shutter, Lin Yue in the 2-star gold shutter and Lin Dan were also in the 2-star gold shutter.
the night came.
after returning from the clan hall, Lin Bai was now already in front of his house, but before he entered, he smelled the aroma of cooking from the direction of his house, but before he entered, he asked who was cooking in his house, because as far as he knew who he was.
with great curiosity, Lin Bai walked into the house and headed straight for the kitchen, once in the kitchen, he saw a beautiful girl who was cooking their dinner, and the girl was none other than Yin Mei Lin, Bai just kept quiet and watched the girl cook, whereas Yin Mei Lin did not realize anyone was paying attention to her.
Lin woke up from her sleep, after cleaning herself, she went to the kitchen because she smelled the smell of food that was very appetizing.
once he was in the kitchen, he saw his father who was watching Yin Mei Lin cook out of curiosity, Lin Chen called his father.
"dad? what are you doing here.?
hearing Lin Chen's voice, Lin Bai and Yin Mei Lin similarly turned their heads towards the sound, and how shocked was Yin Mei Lin because Lin Bai was at the table eating.
"Haha.....
"Father is very proud of you Chen'er, after 3 years you left, you brought home a daughter-in-law for dad, your choice is very appropriate, besides being beautiful, father-in-law is also good at cooking" said Lin Bai who thought that Yin Mei Lin was Lin Chen's wife.
hearing that, Yin Mei Lin's face reddened like a tomato then lowered her face.
while Lin Chen was just scratching his scratching head which was not itchy.
"dad was wrong, he was just my friend's father" said Lin Chen who denied his father's words.
"what are you cooking"? asked Lin Chen trying to divert the chatter.
"i cooked the meat that I killed the other day, and also the long bean vegetables" said Yin Mei Lin who was still embarrassed because of Lin Bai's words earlier.
"i can't wait to taste your cooking, it looks so good" said Lin Chen, who was impatient.
while Lin Bai was just smiling happily looking at Lin Chen then took Lin Chen to a table, Yin Mei Lin picked up one by one her cooked dishes to eat.
