Chapter 333: Heart Matters_2
Meanwhile, he spoke with grave sincerity, "Xi'er, be assured that your hatred is my hatred."
"I can promise you that the Chen Clan will certainly pay a price. In the future, we must uproot the Chen Clan to avenge Grandfather and wash away the humiliation!"
Upon hearing Lin Tianming's words, Qin Xi couldn't help but have her eyes brimming with tears, feeling deeply moved.
At that moment, as she sobbed softly, she said, "The Chen Clan is powerful, and even though Ming is strong, I fear that even together, we might not be a match for the Chen Clan!"
On hearing this, Lin Tianming sneered coldly, then wore an expression of disdain.
"The Chen Clan's strength is not bad, but to our Lin Family, they are hardly worth mentioning."
"Even so, I don't plan on using the family's strength. Once the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm event is over, I will uproot the Chen Clan myself to avenge Grandfather."
Qin Xi stopped her sobbing after hearing this and looked at Lin Tianming with her big eyes, not doubting his words at all.
In fact, during her travels over the years, she had heard many rumors about the Lin Family.
Initially, it was said in the Cultivation World that the Lin Family had quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators, at least several of them, and that was even twenty years ago.
As time went on, more and more Foundation Establishment members of the Lin Family appeared, and their overall strength became formidable.
Moreover, during their time in Yuyao City and Qianchuan Market, they also encountered many well-known Foundation Establishment Cultivators who held the Lin Family members in high regard.
From their actions and behavior, it was easy to see that the Lin Family's strength was indeed high.
Given this, combined with the fact that Lin Tianming was so young yet possessed the strength of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator, she could somewhat understand the power of the Lin Family.
Although Lin Tianming had never revealed the specific strength of the Lin Family to her, she had made guesses.
Now, hearing Lin Tianming say so, she became even more certain of her thoughts.
Regaining her composure, Qin Xi tightly grasped Lin Tianming's hand and said seriously, "Ming, I have waited for so many years, I can wait another ten or eight years."
"The reason Xi'er spoke of this matter was not to deceive you or make you think that Xi'er is seeking shelter or even wants to use the Lin Family to deal with the Chen Clan."
Before she could finish, Lin Tianming held her tighter and interrupted her.
"Xi'er, don't say anymore. My determination to take you as my Dao companion will not be swayed by these matters!"
"Since that's the case, with no living relatives, I have no objections to the family elders' arrangement or the date set for the marriage," Qin Xi replied.
Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded and let out a hearty laugh, feeling extremely excited.
Once his emotions settled, he said, "That's great, then it's settled. The wedding ceremony will be arranged for the day after tomorrow!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Tianming sent out a few transmissions, informing Lin Shigong and Lin Shihua of the matter, instructing them to immediately start preparing for the wedding.
Having done that, Lin Tianming patted the Purple Gold Eagle on its back and then led Qin Xi in jumping down.
Simultaneously, the Purple Gold Eagle landed on the ground, rubbing its sharp beak against the hems of their clothes affectionately.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming took out a few Second Order Middle Stage demon beast inner pills, along with a few smaller Second Order demonic beast corpses, and tossed them to the Purple Gold Eagle.
Lately, he hadn't planned on leaving the area for a year or two. Conveniently, the Purple Gold Eagle had also reached the peak of the Second Order Initial Stage and could take this time to advance to the next level.
The Purple Gold Eagle seemed to understand, excitedly gulping down the beast corpses and inner pills.
Quickly, the demon beast corpses and inner pills vanished, leaving behind the excited Purple Gold Eagle rubbing affectionately against their hems, seemingly seeking their favor.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming petted the Purple Gold Eagle's head and said with a smile,
"Xiao Diao, with all these treats for you, you should work hard. Once you advance to the Second Order Middle Stage, we will set off on our journey again!"
The Purple Gold Eagle lifted its head in joy, letting out a sharp, excited cry as if responding to him.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming took Qin Xi's hand and flew towards the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, leaving the Purple Gold Eagle behind on the mountain peak.
As they left, the Purple Gold Eagle soared into the sky and flew towards the location of the nest it had once constructed.
...
Two days later.
In the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory, today was the day of Lin Tianming's wedding ceremony.
At this time, the main areas of Green Bamboo Mountain were all decked out in shining lights and colorful decorations, with bright red flowers lining the streets on both sides, and the occasional Immortal Flying Birds swooping over the mountaintops.
Meanwhile, groups of children chased and played in the streets, their movements agile, clearly having practiced martial arts from a young age.
Looking around, these children were only about six or seven years old and had not yet had their Spiritual Roots tested, but the mere fact that they lived on Green Bamboo Mountain meant that at least one of their direct elders must be a Lin Family Cultivator.
Otherwise, it was virtually impossible for children from Mortal Towns to be seen here at such an age.
With the Lin Family's population skyrocketing in recent years and family benefits improving, Green Bamboo Mountain had become increasingly lively.
Such young children, mere toddlers, were several times more numerous than they had been two or three decades earlier.
Under these circumstances, the vitality of Green Bamboo Mountain was extremely robust.
At this very moment, a sense of peace and joy filled Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory, adding a different luster to a festive day.
In a cave dwelling at the summit of the main peak.
The place was already bustling with noise as many Lin Family Members gathered here.
In the past two days, numerous Lin Family Members had emerged from seclusion. Many representatives of those stationed in the family's Spirit Lands were also preparing to attend Lin Tianming's wedding ceremony.
For the occasion, a great majority of the Lin Family had come together, creating a true feast.
Although almost nearly every year, or every few years, some Lin Family Members would marry.
But unless they were core family members, the scale of the wedding ceremonies was quite small, and most Foundation Establishment Clan Members would not attend.
However, this time, such a grand wedding ceremony hadn't been held by the family in many years.
The reason was none other than Lin Tianming, a core family member with an exceptional talent, whose own strength was even a bit stronger than Lin Shilu's.
Apart from that, all of his elders were Cultivators and core family members, making their influence within the entire Lin Family extremely prominent.
It was foreseeable that this wedding ceremony would be the most bustling and the largest celebration the Lin Family had seen in a hundred years.
At that moment, in the courtyard of this cave dwelling, many clan members gathered to chat idly, each one looking quite excited as they discussed Lin Tianming's cultivation and news about the bride.
The atmosphere was incredibly lively.
Having received the news, Lin Xingrong returned from Golden Horn Mountain and was now at the entrance of the cave dwelling welcoming guests.
From a distance, Lin Xingyuan approached, and before he had even arrived, his hearty laughter could be heard.
"Xing Rong, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Haha... it's Seventh Brother, please come inside quickly!"
Lin Xingrong quickly went to greet him, chatting with Lin Xingyuan for a few moments.
"Seventh Brother, I appreciate you taking the time to return to the family to attend Tian Ming's wedding ceremony amidst your busy schedule!"
"Hehe... Luoyun Market is now quite stable, with Xing Li in charge of its defense, so I came to join in the excitement!"
After speaking, Lin Xingyuan hastily took out more than a dozen items and a card made of Beast Skin from his storage bag and handed them to Lin Xingrong.
Then, he said with a smile, "Xing Rong, Xing Li and many other clan members have their duties and really could not get away, but they have specifically prepared gifts and asked me to convey their congratulations."
"This is the list I prepared in advance, please take it!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xingrong laughed heartily and said, "Why the formality between brothers and fellow clan members? They have their duties and must prioritize the greater good, naturally."
"As for the gifts, that's really unnecessary!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lin Xingyuan waved his hand and quickly added a statement.
"How can that be? Tian Ming is a Hidden Dragon of our Lin Family, and his wedding is such a grand occasion, it certainly can't be too plain or hasty."
"All right, then I'll thank all the fellow clan members on behalf of Tian Ming!"
After returning a reply, Lin Xingrong finally accepted the gifts handed over by Lin Xingyuan and tucked them into his storage bag.
He then promptly invited Lin Xingyuan into the cave dwelling.
