Chapter 157 The Elders Have Arrived
As Lin Zhifeng had predicted, the elders from Sword Sect and Happy Valley arrived early the next morning.
The Sword Sect sent the Seventh Elder and his wife, who were Lin Jun's parents.
Happy Valley's owner personally visited.
The elders from both sides were invited by Elder Gu to sit in the reception room.
Apart from Zisu, who was bedridden and unable to attend, all the disciples of the Sword Sect gathered in the reception room.
Elder Gu recounted to the Valley Master and the Seventh Elder and his wife everything that had happened to Zisu these past few days.
Of course, Elder Gu only mentioned that she was captured by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, framed as a murderer, and severely tortured and injured.
Elder Gu did not mention a word about the personal relationship between Zisu and Lin Jun.
But needless to say, the owner of Happy Valley, and Lin Jun's parents, weren't stupid either. The reason they came together was mostly because of their son's relationship problems.
After Elder Gu finished explaining what had happened, the Valley Master of Happy Valley stood up first and said, "Thank you for your help, Elder Gu and the young friends of the Sword Sect. Happy Valley will definitely send generous gifts to express our gratitude in person in the future!"
Elder Gu and the Seventh Elder said repeatedly, "Valley Master, you are too kind. Eliminating evil and promoting good, and helping each other are all things we should do."
After thanking his savior, the owner of Happy Valley suggested that he go and see how Zisu was doing.
Elder Gu naturally wanted to personally lead her there.
With Elder Gu and the Valley Master of Happy Valley gone, only members of the Sword Sect remained in the reception room.
The Seventh Elder looked at his son, who was so self-righteous and showed no fear or worry whatsoever, and couldn't help but snort.
Lin Jun saw that his father was indeed angry again, but he wasn't afraid. He just put on a big smile and went to his mother.
I asked my mother in detail why she had come here this time. Did she receive the message they sent back and seem anxious?
Lin's mother explained that she knew he was entangled with a female cultivator from Happy Valley and was worried that he might become confused and fall into emotional entanglement, which was why she came here with Lin's father.
The Seventh Elder's wife, who is also Lin Jun's mother, is a cultivator at the Refinement Realm.
This lady has striking eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge; she's a beauty with striking features.
Like mother, like son. It's no surprise that his mother is exceptionally beautiful to have given birth to such a handsome man as Lin Jun.
However, Madam Qi is a very straightforward person. The only time she is associated with the word "gentle" is when she is with Lin Jun.
Upon hearing that his parents were likely there to break up the couple, Lin Jun abandoned all pretense of decency and started throwing a tantrum at his mother in front of everyone.
Unable to resist his persistent nagging, Lin's mother said helplessly, "If you want to get married, with our family's background and your own qualifications, wouldn't it be better to find a girl of equal social standing? I think the female cultivators of the Hundred Flowers Palace are quite good, why do you insist on..."
Although she didn't finish her sentence, her disdain for the female cultivator from Happy Valley was already quite obvious.
Lin's father also said at this moment, "Listen to your mother, and put away your romantic fantasies. As parents, we can't possibly harm you!"
It's no wonder that the Seventh Elder and his wife objected. Not to mention that Lin Jun is a genius sword cultivator who broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm before he was even a hundred years old, even just based on his appearance and family background, he could basically choose any marriage partner from any major sect.
Now that they know Lin Jun actually chose a female cultivator from Happy Valley as his Daoist partner, how can the parents be willing to accept this?
The female cultivators in Happy Valley practice the Hehuan Dao (a martial arts path), which already has a bad reputation. Furthermore, the cultivation methods they practice are inherently draining for their lovers. This is why they cannot cultivate with only one man.
Could someone like Lin Jun really accept sharing a woman with other men? Wouldn't he be jealous?
Besides, isn't Lin Jun worried about his future? If he becomes obsessed with women, does he still want to ascend to immortality?
Fortunately, Lin's mother didn't voice her concerns about his future ascension, as everyone was present. She was afraid of appearing immodest or putting pressure on Lin Jun. If she had, Lin Jun himself would have laughed himself to death.
Look at Lin Jun's rapid progress; it's made his parents a little too confident in their son.
Ascension? How did someone break through to the Nascent Soul stage? Lin Jun said he wouldn't dare to even dream of ascension.
Because of the presence of Lin Zhifeng and the others, Lin's mother couldn't say anything too harsh, thinking she would have a proper talk with Lin Jun in private later.
Lin's father had no intention of wasting time with him. If it was no good, it was no good. Why waste words?
Lin Jun is currently head over heels in love, and upon hearing the Seventh Elder's words, he explodes with rage, ready to fight to defend his great love.
Just as a "men's singles" match was about to unfold in the reception room, Lin Zhifeng quickly jumped in to defuse the situation.
He wouldn't go out of his way to persuade the Seventh Elder to accept Lin Jun and Zisu's relationship.
In this kind of situation, both sides have their own version of the truth. It's their family matter, and outsiders have no right to interfere.
So Lin Zhifeng was talking about the City Lord's Mansion.
Once the topic turned to serious matters, the Seventh Elder regained his composure and transformed back into the wise and intelligent sect leader.
Lin Zhifeng gave the Seventh Elder a detailed report on the information he and Ding Mo had obtained from their investigation at the City Lord's Mansion the previous night. He also shared his and Ding Mo's personal analysis of the matter, and finally asked the Seventh Elder for guidance on what they should do next.
When the Seventh Elder heard Lin Zhifeng's words, he never expected that there would be such an important matter for him to decide.
He had received a message from Lin Zhifeng and his group, and he had brought his wife along to wake up that brat Lin Jun and prevent him from doing anything wrong. Who knew there would be such a dangerous situation?
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have brought my wife along!
If the one in the city lord's mansion is indeed a drought demon from the mortal realm, once the two sides go to war, the whole family might perish here.
If that's the case, it wouldn't be bad if the whole family were together. The Seventh Elder couldn't help but smile bitterly at this thought.
Fortunately, no one knew what the Seventh Elder was thinking, otherwise they would all be speechless. It's clear that Lin Jun's usual nonsensical and unreliable behavior is also hereditary!
Meanwhile, the Valley Master of Happy Valley, led by Elder Gu, went to Zisu's room.
After Elder Gu brought them there, he wisely made an excuse to leave, leaving them alone to talk.
After entering the room, the Valley Master looked around and discovered that Zisu was not the only one living there.
There were signs of other men throughout the room; it seemed she and Lin Jun were already living together. The Valley Master thought to himself.
"Is this the real reason you rejected me and even went so far as to run away from home?" The Valley Master sat on the chair opposite Zisu's bed, smoothed his hair, looked up at Zisu, and asked slowly.
