Chapter 104: Peak of the Saint Realm! The New Family Head—Lin Ao Tian!

Liu Ruyan’s Dao heart was in turmoil.

Seeing her like this, Lin Ao Tian smiled slightly, deciding not to tease her any further. He slowly stood up.

*Creak.*

He pushed open the door.

Outside, it was springtime, with flowers blooming and the sun shining brightly.

Breathing in the fresh air, Lin Ao Tian’s face lit up with a smile.

At that moment.

“Emperor’s son… no, Lin Yu greets the family head!”

A young Lin family disciple appeared, having waited here for several days.

Seeing Lin Ao Tian, he was so excited that he almost forgot that Lin Ao Tian was now the head of the Lin family.

“Family head?”

Lin Ao Tian looked at the nervous young man in front of him with some surprise, recognizing him.

Lin Yu!

Lin Zhan’s son, who had been cultivating for 120 years, at the early stage of the Divine Fire Realm.

Before Lin Ao Tian was born, Lin Yu was the Lin family’s top prodigy, adored by all.

However, after the birth of this ancient double-pupiled prodigy, Lin Yu’s brilliance faded.

After Lin Ao Tian’s rise, the resources and cultivation opportunities for Lin Yu dwindled, and he gradually disappeared from the public eye.

Over the years, Lin Ao Tian had rarely seen him, likely due to the cold treatment from the family, which was hard for him to accept.

Seeing Lin Ao Tian’s confusion, Lin Yu quickly explained respectfully, “It’s like this, family head!”

“While you were in seclusion, the ancestor convened a high-level meeting and decided to appoint you as the family head.”

“It was unanimously agreed upon by all the elders, and unlike previous family heads, the ancestor stated that from now on, you have the final say in everything in the Lin family, including the elders of Feixian Palace who must also follow your orders!”

Lin Yu hurriedly finished his explanation, fearing he might anger Lin Ao Tian if he spoke too slowly.

When the family announced this decision, he was stunned.

If he didn’t come to show his support, he feared he would be in trouble later.

Although he hadn’t offended Lin Ao Tian before, everyone knew they couldn’t be friends.

But now things were different.

Not to mention Lin Ao Tian’s previous earth-shattering deeds, he was now the highest authority in the Lin family. If Lin Yu didn’t do something now, he would never have another chance.

***

Listening to Lin Yu’s explanation, Lin Ao Tian touched his chin, smiling slightly.

Lin Yindao, that old fox.

He’s quite interesting…

Then, Lin Yu took out a spatial ring and handed it to Lin Ao Tian with great respect, “Family head, this is the congratulatory gift from the major holy lands, divine dynasties, and sects of the Three Thousand Continents for you receiving the Great Emperor’s inheritance. Please check it.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Ao Tian was slightly stunned.

A congratulatory gift?

When did I hold a banquet?

Before going into seclusion, wasn’t it just said that people came to visit me?

With curiosity, Lin Ao Tian took the spatial ring and sent his divine sense into it.

It was empty inside.

But there was a gray burlap sack.

“Hmm?”

“The people of the Three Thousand Continents only sent this?”

Then, with a thought, the burlap sack opened.

*Clatter!*

Countless black spatial rings poured out like a stream.

At a glance, there were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand.

Lin Ao Tian was stunned.

Spatial rings inside spatial rings?

Is this a nesting doll?

But Lin Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, noticing a scroll among them.

The next second.

He took out the scroll and opened it with suspicion.

It was filled with densely packed writing.

“Dao Yi Holy Land, gift: Half a True Immortal-level divine ability, three complete supreme corpses of alien demon clans, ten thousand immortal jades!”

“Huangquan Holy Land, gift: Half an immortal weapon (sword), a complete set of Great Emperor-level sword techniques, ten thousand immortal jades!”

“Lingyuan Ancient Continent, Changsheng Family, Xia Family: One million immortal jades!”

“Western Ox Ancient Continent, Buddhist Sect: Three golden bodies of Arhats, one Bodhi seed, ten thousand immortal jades!”

“……”

Lin Yu watched Lin Ao Tian reading the gift list, genuinely admiring him.

As expected of the young emperor.

Facing so many treasures, he remained calm.

Such a mindset truly belongs to the number one in the Three Thousand Continents!

Lin Ao Tian looked at the long list, his expression calm.

Flipping through it occasionally.

But inwardly, he couldn’t help but think, “Damn!”

“When did Dao Yi Holy Land become so generous?”

“I’m not even their Dao child.”

Uh…

“Huangquan Holy Land put in some effort. I do need a handy weapon, and a sword is just what I want.”

“Who doesn’t have a dream of being a sword immortal?”

Hmm?

“A million immortal jades?”

“The Xia Family is quite generous!”

“Buddhist Sect?”

“The Buddhist Sect joined in too?”

“Bodhi seed… hmm, not bad.”

The more Lin Ao Tian read, the more he felt something was off.

Almost every holy land had given valuable sacred items and sacred medicines.

It was a bit absurd!

If he didn’t know the Lin family’s strength, he would have thought Lin Yindao had raided their homes!

In the usual storyline, the protagonist either gains some heaven-defying fortune or gets mocked by villains, making big shots envious.

Why is it that in my case, everyone is groveling?

Wait!

I forgot my character is a villain. That makes sense.

Villains are usually fawned over at the beginning, right?

Time passed, and Lin Ao Tian couldn’t read any more. This was too much!

He put away the scroll.

Seeing this.

Lin Yu admired him even more.

As expected of the family head, he finished reading so quickly.

Then, he remembered something and respectfully said, “By the way, family head, some forces from the Three Thousand Continents haven’t left yet. The holy sons and holy daughters insist on meeting you.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Ao Tian was puzzled.

Meet me?

I’m not familiar with them, right?

Could it be…

He suddenly thought of something.

“Is Ji Bo with them?”

Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded, “Yes, family head!”

“These days, Young Master Ji has been accompanying them… Do you want to see them?”

Lin Yu thought, now that Lin Ao Tian was the family head, his status and position were far above theirs.

He was no longer considered their peer.

Even if Lin Ao Tian didn’t see them, it would be reasonable, and no one would dare say anything.

Lin Ao Tian rubbed his forehead, thinking about whether to meet them.

He didn’t dislike Ji Bo, finding him amusing and sometimes surprising.

Hmm… let’s meet them.

There’s nothing else to do now.

“Tell them to come.”

Lin Ao Tian said calmly.

“Yes, family head!”

Lin Yu respectfully retreated.

After Lin Yu left.

Lin Ao Tian had just sat on a stone stool when several graceful figures appeared at the palace door.

The next second.

Lin Ao Tian’s eyelid twitched as Ye Qingcheng rushed to him, hugging him tightly.

“Brother… I missed you so much!”

The young voice was tinged with sobs.

Lin Ao Tian looked down at the big-eyed little girl, showing a gentle smile.

“Why are you crying?”

“Did someone bully you?”

Behind him.

Ji Yue’er looked at them with envy.

“Sigh, Jiang, if I had known Brother Ao Tian liked children, I would have awakened my memories and rushed to the Lin family to be his sister!”

She sighed deeply, sending a voice transmission to Jiang Luoli.

“……”

However, Jiang Luoli didn’t reply, just giving her a sympathetic glance.
