Chapter Thirty-Six: Dinner Party

  Lin Xia and the others saw Lei Li finally leave, and they also secretly let out a sigh of relief. Although Lin Dong's strength had been astonishing in this period of time, if they really had to face Lei Li, who was already a renowned genius, even they didn't think they would have an advantage. So, being able to avoid fighting him for now was naturally the best situation.

  "Haha, Lin Xia, it seems that your Lin family has finally produced an extraordinary person. " Wu Yun looked at Lei Li leaving, then turned around, his eyes scanned Lin Dong's body, and finally looked at Lin Xia, smiling and saying.

  Lin Xia glanced at him and patted Lin Dong's shoulder, saying with a hint of arrogance: "That's natural, with Lin Dong's cultivation speed, surpassing you guys isn't anything difficult."

  For Lin Xia's confidence that was far more than his own, Lin Dong could only shake his head helplessly and then smiled at Wu Yun: "Thanks a lot today."

  It was obvious that Wu Yun brought people to reveal himself, actually wanting to stir up trouble and make Lei Li unable to rest assured in dealing with him.

  "There's no need to thank me, we're also enemies with Lei Li, and I'm happy to make him suffer." Wu Yun smiled and waved his hand, not putting on any airs in front of Lin Dong. From the brief exchange between Lin Dong and Lei Li earlier, he could tell that the former's strength was probably not much weaker than his own.

  Lin Dong smiled, it seemed that the relationship between Kuangdao Wuguan and the two families of Lei Xie was not very good either. However, this was good news for the Lin family, after all, if these three major forces were to unite, even if Lin Xiao had recovered his strength now, he would probably still be unable to resist.

  "It's getting late, I'll take my leave first, haha, Lin Dong, see you on the hunting grounds later. But when that time comes, I'll also be fighting against you, hoping to have a thrilling battle."

  The two of them chatted for a while again, then Wu Yun smiled and waved his hand before turning around and leaving with the others.

  "Let's go back too."

  Seeing this scene where everyone was almost dispersed, Lin Dong also smiled and turned his head towards Lin Xia and the others.

  "Alright."

  After the previous conflict, Lin Xia and others were also unwilling to stay long. They nodded in unison and a group of people swarmed out under the gaze of many eyes.

  …

  After returning to the Lin family, Lin Dong and Qingtan did not immediately return to Xiaoshan. Coincidentally, today was the end of the month, which was the time for the Lin family gathering. At this time every month, core members of the family would gather together to report on various matters that had occurred during the month.

  Originally, Lin Dong was unable to attend such family gatherings, but after marrying into the Lin family, his status has risen sharply, and now he even has a place at this kind of family dinner.

  The full moon is in the sky, and the cool moonlight pours down, covering the earth.

  The backyard of the Lin family was exceptionally lively at this moment, with dozens of people gathered in front of a large round table, laughter ringing out continuously.

  Lin Dong sat in a position on the left side, below him was Lin Xia and Lin Hong, among other younger members of the Lin family who were quite excellent.

  The only thing that made Lin Dong a little happy at this dinner was seeing Lin Xiao, who had been busy with many things in Huoyan Manor for some time.

  At the head of the dinner table, Lin Zhen Tian's position was naturally at the forefront. At this moment, the old man was chatting with Lin Xiao and inquiring about the recent situation at Huo Yan Zhuang. After listening to this report, he nodded his head in satisfaction. His smiling eyes suddenly shifted downwards towards Lin Dong.

  "Today I received news that these little guys seem to have clashed with the younger generation of the Xie family again, and in the end they even dragged that Lei Li from the Lei family over."

  The eyes on the dinner table were all cast towards Lin Zhen Tian, and when they heard this, some adults' faces also sank slightly, glaring fiercely at their own children.

  It used to happen often before, but every time, those little rabbits would come back with their tails between their legs. The look on their faces was also a bit embarrassing for them, and they wanted to go find the other party to reason with them, but were shut up by a sentence of playful teasing from their juniors.

  "Father, this is probably that Lin Xia girl's doing again. When we get back, I'll teach her a lesson." Lincoln said in a low voice beside him.

  "Hehe, no need to rush, this time they didn't lose face for the Lin family."

  Lin Zhen Tian smiled and waved his hand, it was clear that the old man seemed to be in a good mood. He chuckled: "This little Lin Dong, his potential is even stronger than Lin Xiao's back then! This time he not only single-handedly knocked down two of the Xie family's seven-layered juniors, but also blocked Lei Li's attack in the end. This feat, it's really something to be praised!"

  "Oh?"

  Everyone present was moved by these words, and Lin Xiao looked at Lin Dong in surprise, clearly not expecting that he could actually exchange blows with Lei Li without losing.

  "Is it true?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask.

  Facing the gaze of those eyes, Lin Dong could only stiffen his scalp and nod, saying: "I used the Back-Flowing Fist, but Lei Li hadn't used any martial arts yet, so it doesn't count as a draw."

  "But Lei Li has already entered the ninth level of Quan Ti, and you can use Tong Bei Fist to make up for the distance between you two, which is already very remarkable." Lincoln also smiled.

  "Lin Dong should have entered the eighth layer of the Tempering Body, right?" Lin Zhentian asked with a smile.

  Lin sighed helplessly in her heart and could only nod slightly on the surface.

  "Good, good grandson! It seems that my Lin family has finally produced a genius who is not inferior to the Lei family!" Seeing Lin Dong nodding, Lin Zhen Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing. Hearing his joyful laughter, Lin Xiao and Lin Ken also smiled slightly, while Lin Meng's face was somewhat complicated.

  "There are still about four months until the hunting season, during this time you must work hard to cultivate yourself. If there's anything you need, just say it, as long as the Lin family has it, I absolutely won't hold back!" Lin Zhen Tian stroked his beard and smiled.

  Upon hearing this, many people's hearts skipped a beat. Lin Zhen Tian's words clearly indicated that he wanted to cultivate Lin Dong as the most precious core seed, just like Lin Xiao was in the past.

  Lin Xia and others also had some envy in their eyes, but Lin Dong's recent performance was indeed unmatched.

  "Thank you, Grandpa."

  Taking in the expressions of everyone, Lin Dong's mouth did not refuse, but his heart shook his head. To be honest, with the mysterious stone symbol, the resources of the Lin family were no longer very attractive to him.

  Of course, this is naturally not something that can be said out loud. Even if he doesn't need the Lin family's resources, occasionally taking some will prevent him from relying too heavily on the Stone Symbol and arousing suspicion due to his rapid cultivation speed.

  Lin Zhen Tian smiled and waved his hand, then they discussed family matters with others again, and the dinner party gradually dispersed.

  Looking at Lin Zhen Tian disappearing into the distance, but still hearing his loud and clear laughter, Lin Dong's fist was also slightly clenched, and the old man once again placed his hopes on him, just like he had placed his hopes on Lin Xiao all those years ago.

  "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll help you make your wish come true."

  Lin Dong muttered to himself in his heart, and immediately raised his head, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, with a hint of coldness.

  "And...that guy called Lin Langtian..."
