Chapter 932 Lin Family Ancestor

 

Sitting to the side, Ye Xingxue noticed the change in Fang Yu’s expression and looked puzzled.

Didn’t Mr. Fang say he would find an excuse to criticize the Lin family heirloom? Why is he showing such an expression?

Could it be that this heirloom is truly something extraordinary?

“Say your name again,” Fang Yu looked up at Lin Zhengxiong standing nearby and asked.

“My name is Lin Zhengxiong, Lord Fang,” Lin Zhengxiong answered respectfully.

“Which Lin? The Lin with two trees?” Fang Yu asked.

“Yes, that’s correct,” Lin Zhengxiong replied, his eyes showing some confusion.

“You just said, how many years of history does this token have?” Fang Yu asked again.

“Nearly three thousand years,” Lin Zhengxiong answered.

Three thousand years…

This timeframe wasn’t far off from when Lin Batian was still on Earth.

Lin Zhengxiong silently observed Fang Yu’s expression, feeling anxious inside.

Among the several heirlooms in the Lin family, this token had the longest history.

If Fang Yu wasn’t impressed with this heirloom, he might be even less impressed with the others.

“Lord Fang, this token was left by our Lin family ancestor, its function…” Lin Zhengxiong began, wanting to explain the token’s origins to Fang Yu to increase its value.

“You don’t need to say anything else, just tell me about this ancestor of yours,” Fang Yu interrupted Lin Zhengxiong.

Lin Zhengxiong was stunned and said, “The ancestor?”

“Yes,” Fang Yu nodded.

“Since it was so long ago, we in the Lin family don’t actually know much about our ancestor… but according to the elders in our family, our ancestor was one of the few cultivators who ascended to immortality…” Lin Zhengxiong said.

“Ascended to immortality?” Fang Yu’s expression turned strange.

“Lord Fang, I’m absolutely not exaggerating. This is indeed what our family elders say, and it’s recorded in our family genealogy, but whether it’s true… we have no way to verify,” Lin Zhengxiong hurriedly explained.

“Could you bring out your Lin family genealogy for me to look at?” Fang Yu asked.

“Uh?” Lin Zhengxiong was stunned, his expression growing more confused.

Weren’t they supposed to be appraising the heirloom? Why suddenly ask about the genealogy?

Logically, a family genealogy shouldn’t be shown to outsiders.

But this person was Fang Yu… someone Lin Zhengxiong very much wanted to establish a relationship with.

His requests must be fulfilled as much as possible!

Lin Zhengxiong bit his lip and said, “Please wait a moment, Lord Fang. I’ll go get the genealogy.”

With that, Lin Zhengxiong quickly left the hall.

Fang Yu sat on the sofa, looking at the black-gold token in his hand, his eyes still showing surprise.

If the Lin family truly was Lin Batian’s bloodline, that would be too incredible…

“Mr. Fang, is this token a very powerful treasure?” Ye Xingxue asked curiously.

Fang Yu turned to look at Ye Xingxue and said, “I don’t know yet. After I see the Lin family genealogy, I’ll know whether it’s powerful or not.”

“Oh,” Ye Xingxue nodded, seeming to half-understand.

After a while, light footsteps sounded outside the hall.

Fang Yu and Ye Xingxue turned to look and saw a girl wearing a black martial arts outfit walking in from outside.

This girl wore no makeup, her face pure and stunningly beautiful.

It was Lin Zhilan, who had pointed her sword at Fang Yu when they first met.

Lin Zhilan saw Fang Yu sitting on the sofa, slightly frowned, and stopped in her tracks.

Then, she once again drew the sword from her waist and pointed it directly at Fang Yu.

“Let’s… have an exchange,” Lin Zhilan said, staring steadily at Fang Yu.

Ye Xingxue’s expression changed slightly as she looked at Fang Yu, then at Lin Zhilan.

Why would this young woman suddenly draw her sword and point it at Fang Yu?

Fang Yu looked at Lin Zhilan, slightly frowning.

But thinking that this young woman might be Lin Batian’s descendant from over a hundred generations later, he held back the words he was about to say.

“I don’t have time right now,” Fang Yu said.

“…My father said your swordsmanship is very good,” Lin Zhilan said, her sword still pointing at Fang Yu.

“Did your father ever tell you not to point swords at people casually?” Fang Yu asked.

“…Didn’t you come here today to exchange sword techniques with me?” Lin Zhilan tilted her head and asked.

This girl’s mind really didn’t seem to work quite right.

“Zhilan! What are you doing? Put down that sword immediately!” At this moment, Lin Zhengxiong hurriedly entered the hall, and seeing this scene, his face turned pale.

He had finally managed to invite Fang Yu to his home, and if Lin Zhilan ruined it again, he would truly cough blood!

Had he known this would happen, he would never have deliberately mentioned to her that Fang Yu’s swordsmanship was extremely high!

He had intended for Lin Zhilan to take the initiative to approach Fang Yu, but never expected it would have the opposite effect!

He now confirmed that his daughter was a complete sword fanatic, with nothing but swordsmanship in her head!

With Lin Zhengxiong’s arrival, Lin Zhilan frowned slightly and lowered her sword.

“Lord Fang, I’m truly sorry, my daughter she…” Lin Zhengxiong walked up to Fang Yu and apologetically said.

Fang Yu looked at the extremely thick genealogy in Lin Zhengxiong’s hand and said, “Alright, let me see the genealogy.”

Lin Zhengxiong immediately handed the genealogy to Fang Yu.

This genealogy was at least four to five hundred pages thick.

“This is our Lin family’s complete genealogy. The names of each generation’s direct line are all in it,” Lin Zhengxiong said.

Fang Yu didn’t care about the other generations; he only wanted to see the first generation.

Opening the first page of the genealogy, there was indeed a name written on it.

Lin Batian.

And below Lin Batian was another name, Lin Xunyu.

After that, the branches gradually began to multiply.

Fang Yu opened the first page and froze, not turning to the next page.

Now, he could basically confirm that the current Lin family… was truly Lin Batian’s bloodline!

The name Lin Batian might be a coincidence, but the mysterious energy contained in that token… was Lin Batian’s unique energy signature!

“Wasn’t he always single? When I last saw him, he didn’t mention being married or having children,” Fang Yu thought.

“Lord Fang…” Lin Zhengxiong saw Fang Yu motionless and thought something was wrong, so he asked.

“By the way, what was the name of Lin Batian’s wife?” Fang Yu asked.

“This… regarding our ancestor, we truly don’t know much… because the genealogy was only compiled together three hundred years ago, and the ancestor’s name was only added at that time,” Lin Zhengxiong said. “Actually, we know very little about our ancestor, only some sayings passed down through generations.”

Fang Yu closed the genealogy, shut his eyes, and recalled all the words that Lin Batian’s will had said.

During the time Lin Batian’s will left Qiankun Mountain and followed Fang Yu, he never mentioned a wife or having children.

And once, Fang Yu and he had even chatted about pursuing holy maidens and such in the past.

If Lin Batian had a wife and child, he should have mentioned it then.

But he didn’t bring it up.

Also, he had no reason to hide these things from Fang Yu.

Therefore, the only explanation was… Lin Batian’s will also didn’t know about the wife and child.

Lin Batian’s will was left by his true self just before facing the lightning tribulation.

This meant that the will only knew about things that happened before the true self left it behind.

Whatever the true self did after leaving the will, the will wouldn’t know.

“So this means Lin Batian found a wife and had a child after leaving that will, and then ascended to immortality?” Fang Yu rubbed his chin, pondering.

This was the only explanation.

Combined with the name of the child he had.

Lin Xunyu.

Lin Batian’s will had mentioned that after emerging from seclusion, he had searched for Fang Yu for a long time.

Lin Xunyu might have this meaning.

But then, Fang Yu thought of another name.

Leng Xunshuang.

Fang Yu, Leng Xunshuang – taking one character from each of their names formed Lin Xunyu.

“This guy…” Fang Yu shook his head slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

“Lord Fang, if you’re not satisfied with this heirloom… I have other treasures for you to appraise,” Lin Zhengxiong immediately said, seeing Fang Yu shake his head.

“No need.”

Fang Yu came back to his senses and handed the genealogy back to Lin Zhengxiong.

Then, he put the token back in the box, closed it, and returned it to Lin Zhengxiong as well.

“Lord Fang, this…” Lin Zhengxiong’s face turned pale as he accepted the box.
