Chapter 112: Sandalwood: Lin Yan, I Missed You
Lin Zhen and the others were quite surprised by Lin Yan's achievements in Flame City.
After all, for the Lin Family, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was an unreachable entity.
But now, Xuan Su, the manager of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, told them that Lin Yan had become a named offering of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. This news brought great shock to Lin Zhen and the others.
So, at this moment, everyone felt a bit dumbfounded upon learning this news.
Especially Qingtan and Lin Xia, upon hearing about Lin Yan's recent achievements, couldn't help but show admiration on their youthful faces.
"He truly deserves to be called Brother Lin Yan."
"He effortlessly achieved what others couldn't."
"He's really amazing!"
Xuan Su smiled at the Lin Family members and said, "You're exaggerating. It's not that Lin Yan is valued by our Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. We don't have that kind of status."
"I should say, it's Lin Yan who is willing to befriend our Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, which makes us feel honored."
She had noticed a slight misunderstanding from what Lin Zhen and the others said earlier.
Although she knew Lin Yan wouldn't mind such trivial matters based on her understanding of him, Xuan Su was always meticulous in her work, so it was better to clear up this misunderstanding to prevent it from being exploited by malicious individuals.
Therefore, Xuan Su smiled and explained to everyone.
"Hiss!"
"Yan'er, he has such influence?!"
After Xuan Su spoke, it further astonished Lin Zhen and the others.
So, as they continued standing there, they felt somewhat dumbfounded.
"Grandpa, Uncle Xiao, how come you're here?"
At this moment, Lin Yan and Lin Dong quickly arrived under the guidance of Xia Zhilan.
First, he greeted Lin Zhen, Uncle Xiao, and the others with a smile. After such a long time apart, he couldn't help but embrace them when he saw them.
Then, Qingtan looked at Lin Yan with eager eyes. When Lin Yan approached her, she couldn't help but hug him, and a soft voice rang in Lin Yan's ear, "Brother Lin Yan, I missed you."
Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, while Lin Yan smiled and ruffled Qingtan's hair, saying, "Hmm, I missed you too."
Everyone's gaze immediately converged on the two, and Lin Zhen and the others even showed mischievous smiles. Qingtan, feeling embarrassed, could only reluctantly let go of Lin Yan. Then Lin Yan walked towards Lin Xia, while Lin Dong approached Lin Zhen and the others to chat.
"Sister Lin Xia, did you miss me?"
Lin Yan asked Lin Xia with a smile.
Lin Xia glanced at him and said, "It hasn't been that long. How could I miss you?"
On the side, Lincoln felt quite helpless. This girl clearly missed him a lot. Even today, knowing she would see Lin Yan, she had dressed up carefully, but now she couldn't help but act tough when they met.
Lin Yan just smiled and opened his arms, asking if she needed a hug.
But Lin Xia just chuckled and extended her hand, saying, "Let's just shake hands."
Lin Yan shook her hand and whispered, "Sister Lin Xia, it seems like things have become awkward between us."
Lin Xia self-deprecatingly said, "There's nothing we can do. Even though you've become so powerful, I can't catch up."
Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Friends don't talk about these things. Besides, you don't fight with me, so what's there to be afraid of?"
With that said, he turned his gaze towards Xuan Su.
As for Lin Xia, she sighed inwardly, "So, just now, we were just interacting as friends. If I want more, maybe I'm not worthy."
"Sister Su, thanks for this time."
Lin Yan walked up to Xuan Su and thanked her directly. After all, her lavish hospitality to the Lin Family this time was also due to his face, so Lin Yan had to express his gratitude.
"Lin Yan, if you say that, I won't like it."
"Do you need to be so formal with your sister?"
Xuan Su pretended to be angry and said to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan could only nod and say, "Yes, yes, Sister is right."
After a light laugh, Xuan Su didn't continue joking with Lin Yan. Her expression became slightly more serious, and she asked Lin Yan, "Let's talk business, Lin Yan. Are you confident about facing Wei Tong?"
"If you're really in trouble, I can help you by asking President Xia to intervene."
But Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's just Wei Tong. There shouldn't be any problem."
Finally relieved, Xuan Su said to Lin Yan, "In that case, we'll come to you later to go to the arena together. You chat with your family here for now."
Lin Yan nodded in agreement.
Xuan Su, seeing this, quickly left with Xia Zhilan. However, as she turned to leave, she quietly reminded Xia Zhilan, "Nizi, you need to work hard. Otherwise, your crush might be chased by someone else."
Hearing this, Xia Zhilan's cheeks couldn't help but blush, but her gaze became determined. She nodded but didn't say much.
Lin Zhentian and the others only relaxed after Xuan Su left.
After all, Xuan Su's status was too high, so when facing her, Lin Zhentian and the others couldn't completely let their guard down.
Now that Xuan Su had left, everyone approached, especially Lin Zhentian, who smiled and patted Lin Yan's shoulder. "Good kid! In just two months, you've achieved such success. You truly live up to our Lin family."
Lin Yan just smiled and replied, "Grandpa, you're too kind. It's just a stroke of luck."
Everyone smiled at each other. They felt nostalgic hearing Lin Yan mention "a stroke of luck." They knew Lin Yan's character well. He wouldn't do anything he wasn't confident about. So, seeing him so confident now, they felt relieved.
But what concerned Lin Zhentian and the others the most was Lin Yan's life-and-death battle with Wei Tong.
After all, this matter involved Lin Yan's life, so Lin Zhentian's expression became serious.
"I've secretly relocated the Lin family members."
"If you're not confident, it's better not to fight this battle."
"The Blood Clothes Sect should also not be able to find our people."
Lin Yan chuckled and shook his head upon hearing this.
But before he could speak, Lin Dong couldn't help but interject, "Grandpa, you don't know how strong Brother Yan is now."
"Dealing with Wei Tong is totally beneath him."
Lin Dong said confidently.
He had witnessed Lin Yan's use of the Furious Fire Lotus and Flame Devouring Wave Ruler.
In Lin Dong's eyes, with Lin Yan able to use these two techniques, killing Wei Tong was simply too easy.
They had no need to worry.
Lin Yan also smiled and reassured Lin Zhentian and the others, "Grandpa, you can rest assured. I'm confident."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhentian and the others finally felt at ease. After all, they knew Lin Yan's personality very well.
Lin Yan wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure about.
Since he was so confident now, this matter was probably almost certain.
So Lin Zhentian and the others finally relaxed.
After chatting for a while, they didn't linger in the same place for too long.
Lin Yan led the Lin family members out, and at the entrance of the Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce, they also saw Xia Wanjin, Master Yan, Xuan Su, and others.
Obviously, they had been waiting here for a long time.
"Lin Yan, young friend, you've arrived."
Xia Wanjin greeted Lin Yan first, then said seriously, "Lin Yan, Xuan Su has already told me earlier that you are confident in this life-and-death battle, so I won't stop you. But I also want to watch this good show. After all, you are now a venerated member of our Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce. I can't let anyone cause trouble for you. I'll go with you. I believe those with ulterior motives won't dare to act recklessly."
Lin Yan smiled and thanked Xia Wanjin, "Thank you, Chairman Xia."
Xia Wanjin smiled and didn't say much more.
As for Master Yan, he also came forward to greet Lin Yan.
Afterwards, Lin Yan introduced them to the Lin family members.
Upon learning their identities, the Lin family members couldn't help but feel shocked.
After all, the people standing in front of them were big shots in Flame City. They never dared to imagine talking to such big shots before.
But now, Lin Yan had already established a good relationship with them.
This made them look at Lin Yan with even more astonishment.
However, Lin Yan didn't deliberately show off his connections. After introducing them briefly, he quickly went with everyone to the Flame City Arena.
The Flame City Arena was located slightly north of the center of Flame City.
It was quite popular in Flame City.
The main reason for this popularity was because Flame City had a large population and countless forces, so fights and battles were almost common occurrences.
In order to resolve these troubles, the arena came into being. Here, you could fight as much as you wanted, and even killing was legal.
Although this measure didn't completely make Flame City peaceful, it did have some effect. Moreover, over time, it gradually became a highly popular place in Flame City. Many disputes were settled here.
At this moment, Lin Yan and the others had already arrived at the arena.
They found an area for the Lin family members to sit, and soon, they noticed some familiar faces.
"Chairman Xia, you're here early."
The man at the front was naturally Yue Shan, the helper of the Blood Wolf Gang. At this moment, Yue Shan led the team and smiled at Xia Wanjin in front of him, but his smile was full of coldness.
Then Lin Yan and the others noticed another familiar person, Wei Tong, the Sect Master of the Blood Clothes Sect. However, when he was beside Yue Shan, Wei Tong didn't have the domineering demeanor he usually had. Instead, he seemed more like a follower.
"Lin Yan, I never expected you to kill my Blood Clothes Sect's Deputy Sect Master. Speaking of which, the Blood Clothes Sect is also under the influence of our Blood Wolf Gang. So, Lin Yan, you can't blame me for not standing on your side this time."
Yue Shan quickly approached Lin Yan and said with a smile. However, his smile was somewhat sarcastic.
As for Lin Yan, he just smiled and nodded at Yue Shan, "Rest assured, Leader Yue, I understand."
After Yue Shan smiled and left, Lin Yan took out his Heavy Mystery Ruler without much expression. A green flame gradually appeared on the Heavy Mystery Ruler.
