Chapter 614: 614 Ye Wanlan: Are you allowed to leave? [2 more updates]

Moreover, more than forty years ago, that incident was caused by Lin Weilan.

If it weren’t for Lin Weilan and her son Lin Jiayan bringing those unknown forces, the Lin Family would not have suffered such heavy losses.

"At that time, Lin Weilan’s premarital pregnancy was already a disgrace to the Lin Family," the Great Protector said coldly. "And yet, she took the Secluded Zither and left the Lin Family. If Lin Qin hadn’t been so outstanding, her descendants wouldn’t have had the qualifications to return to the Lin Family."

"The Great Protector is right," Lin Zhushuang smiled and said. "If they are here to look for Ye Wanlan, then we might as well send her out directly. We might even earn their gratitude, which could help the Lin Family’s future development and prospects."

The three Offerants exchanged glances and all nodded slowly.

"Zhushuang, gather the Elder Council along with Shiyuan and Lin Qin, and head to the reception hall," Lin Nanzhu instructed. "They haven’t started a full-scale assault yet, so it’s not appropriate for us to show up."

When dealing with enemies, one must never reveal all their cards.

"Yes, Three Offerings," Lin Zhushuang suppressed the joy in her eyes, bowed with her fists clasped, and left the Sacrificial Hall.

Five minutes later, everyone had gathered in the reception hall.

When Lin Qin saw Owens, she felt the blood in her fingers boiling, clearly feeling the emotion named ’hatred’ roaming through her body.

From a young age, Lin Weilan had been extremely strict with her, but also very good to her.

If not for these people, Lin Weilan might not have passed away so early.

Lin Qin bowed her head, her eyelashes hanging down, hiding the deep hatred in her eyes.

Before she had adequate strength, she absolutely could not act impulsively.

Owens looked Lin Zhushuang up and down: "You’re the oldest, what’s your role in the Lin Family?"

His words almost twisted Lin Zhushuang’s face with anger.

"This is our Lin Family’s Supreme Elder," Steward Lin also said with suppressed anger. "A very respected position!"

"Oh, Supreme Elder," Owens said nonchalantly. "Your Lin Family is merely our defeated vassal. I don’t want to talk much with you. Hand over the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl."

"!!!"

The name Ocean Stabilizing Pearl made Lin Shiyuan suddenly open her eyes wide, as if a spark of understanding flashed.

So that’s how it is!

The big commotion yesterday in Yunjing was actually because the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl had appeared!

However, Lin Shiyuan was indeed highly intelligent, and she could link the two events together in an instant, something other people could not logically relate.

But both Lin Zhushuang and the Lin Family Elder Council knew what the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl was, and they saw shock in each other’s eyes.

"Alright, stop pretending," Owens, seeing the shock on their faces, grew even more impatient. "I have a special...as you call it, a tracker, and the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl is right here."

"That’s impossible!" Lin Zhushuang spoke decisively. "The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl is a Penglai Holy Object, and our Lin Family is the successor of Heavenly Sound Sect. How could the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl be in our Lin Family?"

She had thought that these people were here for Ye Wanlan, never expecting it to be about the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl.

"Don’t be anxious, Supreme Elder," Lin Shiyuan promptly spoke. "Let’s call the relevant people over to ask."

Lin Zhushuang’s expression paused, then she coldly said: "Call Ye Wanlan here!"

Hearing this, Lin Qin’s heart suddenly lifted.

But since Lin Shiyuan was beside her, she did not dare show any odd expressions and kept a cool face.

Three minutes later, Steward Lin brought Ye Wanlan back.

The moment the girl stepped in, it was as if moonlight with silver radiance fell, and even Owens couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

In his belief, his clansmen had the strongest physique and the most beautiful skins in the world.

He had once caught a distant glimpse of their princess, who was deemed exceptionally beautiful.

But at this moment, Owens felt that even their princess’s face paled in comparison to Ye Wanlan’s.

What’s more, Ye Wanlan had an extremely mysterious and elusive air about her.

Owens stared intently at Ye Wanlan, his gaze unwavering.

She stood firmly in the center of the drawing room, her expression indifferent: "I wonder what matters the Supreme Elder has called me here for?"

"Why do you think you’re called here? Don’t you know?" Lin Zhushuang scoffed sternly, "Kneel down!"

"Boom—!"

A tremendous pressure instantly surged towards Ye Wanlan, pressing down like a mountain collapsing and the sea overturning.

This move was to prove to Owens and others that the Lin Family would absolutely not favor Ye Wanlan, and also to vent their frustration.

Lin Zhushuang had been tolerating Ye Wanlan for a long time.

"Hold on!" Owens suddenly spoke up, "That so-called Supreme Elder? You called her here just to kill her in front of me?"

With a casual wave of his hand, he dissipated Lin Zhushuang’s pressure in an instant.

It was done so effortlessly, hardly any force seemed used.

The expressions of the Lin Family Elder Council changed, and Lin Shiyuan’s gaze also shifted subtly.

"The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl is on you, isn’t it?" Owens looked at Ye Wanlan with a smile, "Little sister, just hand over the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl willingly, and I won’t harm you."

Ye Wanlan replied indifferently, "I do not know what you are talking about, nor have I ever heard of it."

"You don’t know?" Owens found it extremely amusing, "Being a member of the Lin Family Main House and not knowing about the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl? Your Lin Family... Hahaha!"

His laughter echoed throughout the hall, making the faces of Lin Zhushuang and several elders look rather unsightly.

"Mr. Owens, she was only brought into the main family a few days ago," eventually, Lin Shiyuan broke the silence and spoke for Ye Wanlan, "Moreover, even direct lineage descendants may not necessarily have the right to know about such a Penglai Holy Object as the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl."

"I don’t care whether you know or not, I don’t have time to waste here with you all!" Owens said coldly, "Tonight, I must see the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl!"

"That thing you’re talking about, I truly don’t have it on me." Ye Wanlan calmly turned out all her pockets and raised her hands to indicate she wasn’t holding anything.

"Alright, it’s not your concern." Owens waved his hand dismissively, then turned to Lin Zhushuang, "I’m giving you three days’ time. I must see the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, or else—"

He didn’t wait for Lin Zhushuang to respond and simply got up and left.

Lin Zhushuang, enraged, smashed a vase: "This is outright bullying! They don’t trouble the Penglai Observatory, yet they demand the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl from us?"

Great Elder of Lin Family furrowed his brows, "Shiyuan, what do you think?"

"The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl has emerged," Lin Shiyuan glanced at Ye Wanlan, "Great Elder, let’s make a trip to the Rong Family."

After the group left, Lin Qin approached: "Cousin!"

"I’m fine." Ye Wanlan patted her shoulder, smiling slightly, "Qinqin, return to your courtyard. There might be bloodshed tonight, and I don’t want to frighten you."

"Cousin?" Lin Qin hadn’t reacted before she looked up to find Ye Wanlan had already disappeared.

Meanwhile.

"Lord Owens, the Compass confirms that the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl is with the Lin Family, they must be lying," a young man scoffed coldly, "If they can’t produce it in three days, the Lin Family is going to pay dearly."

"Indeed," Owens stroked the Compass in his hand, "But the superior said, this time it’s best not to harm lives, just bring back the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl. Too much action will also halt our plans."

The two young men nodded upon hearing this.

"Let’s go." Owens turned, "I’m still not quite used to the land; let’s head back to the sea."

It was his first time ashore from the seabed, initially he had great curiosity about the world above.

But after seeing it, he found it not that spectacular.

Even the Lin Family, esteemed as a noble family, seemed easy to defeat.

These People of Shenzhou wouldn’t be a match for them; they just needed to focus on the Global Center.

The night was quiet, the moon bright and stars sparse.

The evening breeze blew, and unnoticed, leaves rustled down.

"Gentlemen," at that moment, a voice arose from behind Owens, "Shenzhou Land Continent isn’t a place where you can come and go as you please."

Did she permit it?
