Attending to his son's every word, Lin Zhang now knew that his son's master ain't some simple man that he must be at least of the Immortal King or Immortal Emperor level to be able to instantly know the disease and cure him.
The master was already kind enough to take his son as a disciple and to even help him with the disease was already generous of him.
He and his son were in a massive stroke of luck to be on the good side of this benevolent master.
Enlivened by it, Lin Zhang turned to his son and asked in merriment: "Son, can you call your master now? This father wants to see him and thank him personally."
He was so eager to meet this kind master who had helped them.
Yichen could see the eagerness in his father's eyes but it was not like his father could see his master, therefore, he turned away and made up a plausible lie: "Ahem. Father, my master is the type who loves to keep a low profile and distance himself from the world, therefore, I am afraid that he won't agree to meet you."
Hearing his son's words cracked up Lin Zhang's hope that instant. He could get a hint of this master's nature just by his son's words. This master was likely to be pretty skilled as he keep himself hidden to not gain any unnecessary trouble from the world. Such a master would be very profound and have a lot of experience in life.
Since it was already impossible to meet him then it's better to send him his best regards and leave things as it is, therefore, he turned to his son and spoke alleviated: "Son, since this master of yours love to stay secluded then this father won't pry onto the matter anymore. Send him my heartfelt thanks when you meet him that will do and one thing, always be a good disciple to your master and give your best to live up to his expectations."
Yichen's eyes sparkled at it. The trick worked. His father just let it slide and won't pry onto the matter anymore.
Gratified by it, he replied with an immediate handsome grin: "Father, don't worry. Yichen will do his best to be on the good sides of the master."
It was satisfactory to see his young son's determination and keenness to work hard, happy with it, Lin Zhang couldn't help but feel proud; he pats him on his shoulder and approved by nodding his head.
He was quite pleased to see his son grow up to be such a fine young man.
With him coming back into a solid piece; it was now time to do the things that needed to be done, therefore, he in turn spoke to his son with a hint of seriousness: "Son, now that I have come back, it's time to take my rightful position. Let's now head to the clan's hall."
"But father, for us to go to the clan's hall, we need to ring the bell first. We needed to alert everyone to come there."
Yichen who had just woken up had no idea what had happened beforehand, therefore, he inquired his father in total puzzledness.
Lin Zhang smiled at his son's words. Sure he was in deep sleep to know the situation, so, he turned to him and assured him with a smile: "No need, Lin Zhou had already made someone to ring the bell. It appears that he knew about the missing of the sky-tier yellow cactus flower and thus summon everyone to gather there so that he can catch the culprit. This is already a good situation for a good show."
Yichen's jaw dropped at it. He didn't know that so much had happened while he was fast asleep.
Seeing him, Lin Zhang smiled and patted his son's shoulder and ensured him with grace: "Now that I am here. I will take back my rightful position and we will cover up the case of the yellow cactus sky-tier flower as well. Just say something plausible to convince them and always remember to hide the thing of your master."
Knowing his father's intention Yichen nodded his head determined.
"Now, let's head to the clan's hall son."
Attending it, Yichen hurriedly dressed up with his brown pants and shirt and the two-headed towards the clan's hall.
Inside the clan's hall...
Lin Zhou and the six elders who were in the age of early to late seventies were already seated there up on the stage in a semicircle manner.
Lin Zhou impatiently glanced at the Lin clansmen who were coming inside one after another; after a short while, the people stopped coming.
The six elders murmured amongst themselves having no clue for what they were being summoned.
Furthermore, the chief didn't mention anything to them beforehand.
Beneath the stage were the Lin clansmen's men, women, elders, and youngsters all standing there in confusion; they all were murmuring towards each other guessing what could be the reason behind the sudden summon.
Since everyone was there, the fourth elder took the initiative and inquired the chief in curiosity: "Chief, now that everyone is here, you can now announce the reason for the sudden summon?"
He was anticipating the answer as he inquired him.
Lin Zhou didn't give his reply nor didn't attend to the elder; instead, he glanced towards the Lin clansmen below with a menacing look and spoke up intimidatingly: "Is everyone already here? I want not even a single person to be left behind!"
There was some sort of tension in the chief's words that the Lin clansmen were left frightened by it. They soon made a commotion at it. The fourth elder on the side seated annoyed. The chief didn't show them any respect nor was he thoughtful towards them. It was as if their existence and authority were only for their namesake. Though the chief was the most powerful there, he was behaving as if he was the only ruler of the entire clan.
The Lin clansmen on the side turned to look at each other to see if anyone of them was missing. Shortly a while later, they started to notice the missing member of the clan that is Yichen and his father.
"Yichen?! Where is he?! And his crazy father?! He is not here!"
Everyone started to look for them.
"Yes, indeed Yichen is not here!"
As they didn't find both the father and son duo; one of the men turned to the stage and informed alarmingly: "Chief, Yichen and his father ain't not here!"
"What?!"
Provoked by it, Lin Zhou glanced down and immediately instructed the guards on the side: "Quick, go and bring Yichen and his father right now!"
"No need."
Said a man whose voice sounded a bit familiar.
Amazed by it, everyone turned their attention towards the entrance.
It was the young silver-haired boy, Yichen along with his father, Lin Zhang!
"That...that....."
The elder's eyes widened in dumbstruck.
Everyone was left too stunned to speak, including Lin Zhou himself. They didn't expect the mad man to be acted sane for the first time in a while.
"This...How is it possible?! Lin Zhang is back?!"
"Ain't he a mad man? How comes he is looking fine here?"
"Shh...be quiet!"
The Lin clansmen continued to mumble in surprise while Lin Zhou and his son continued to walk through the intense stared of the crowds and went all the way up to the stage.
Finding it unbelievable, Lin Zhou including all the six elders stood up in disbelief.
All eyes were on the father and son duo like a sudden hero entry in a good plot. Their heart stopped at seeing them.
Lin Zhang stood in the middle of the stage alongside his son and announced bravely: "Greetings to all the six elders, my brother Lin Zhou and my fellow clansmen; I, Lin Zhang is back for good."
