After the members of the Lin family left, Gu Changge pondered for a moment before suddenly calling Lin Qiuhan over.
"Young Master Gu..."
Lin Qiuhan froze for a moment, then her heart began to race, and her face flushed with warmth.
In front of so many family members, Gu Changge called her over?
Did he have something to say to her?
Or perhaps... did he have feelings for her?
She started to daydream, her expression a little shy.
"Your family has raised a fine daughter..."
This scene made the elders of the Lin family smile with delight, although there was a hint of envy. After all, their granddaughters could never compare to Lin Qiuhan in beauty.
As the youngest and most beautiful elder of the Daoji Academy, her long, cloud-like hair and delicate, jade-like face were a rare sight.
She indeed had the charm, and many young men in the younger generation admired her. It seemed that she had also caught the attention of this young master.
This made many in the Lin family happy.
Many young men felt sour in their hearts, and many women looked on with envy—emotions were complex and varied.
The Lin family patriarch also smiled and exchanged a glance with Lin Qiuhan, feeling relieved in his heart.
"It's good that Qiuhan is so sensible, makes things much easier for me..."
If this could help in strengthening the relationship with Young Master Gu... the Lin patriarch was already imagining it in his mind, feeling quite pleased.
Elder Ming, too, was thinking that if the young master truly liked her, he might take Lin Qiuhan back to the upper realms, where she would be well taken care of as his descendant.
Once the Lin family members left, the palace front became quiet again.
"By the way, thank you, Qiuhan, for personally delivering the spiritual cakes last night."
Gu Changge casually smiled, his demeanor once again returning to the calm, elegant expression he wore the day before.
Yesterday, he wore a dark robe, but today, he was dressed in white, his long hair casually tied up. He seemed less regal and more ethereal.
Lin Qiuhan was momentarily distracted.
She had to admit, just based on his appearance, very few men in the world could rival Gu Changge.
"Did you like them, Young Master Gu?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiuhan felt a bit of joy, but she also grew nervous. Normally, she never had such emotions in the academy.
"They taste pretty good. There's even a hint of alchemical intent. I didn't expect that," Gu Changge remarked casually.
Lin Qiuhan was slightly stunned by his words. This was the first time she had ever heard of "alchemical intent."
She had heard of Dao Intent, Sword Intent, and others, but "Alchemical Intent" was new to her.
However, Su Qingge seemed to have an epiphany. She had often read ancient texts and had heard of it before.
"Just making a little spiritual cake, and it contains some alchemical intent that even grandmasters of the alchemy path wouldn't have. Qiuhan, you're really impressive," Gu Changge continued, smiling.
He was clearly testing her, and it became apparent.
"I... I don't know anything about alchemy..." Lin Qiuhan became embarrassed from the compliment.
The truth was, this was an astonishing alchemical talent.
If Lin Qiuhan were born in one of the great alchemical sects of the upper realms, she would be a peerless alchemical goddess, her future limitless.
Indeed, those close to the children of fate were never simple individuals.
But in this case, it worked out well; Gu Changge had not wasted his effort.
He thought to himself, still smiling, and then turned to Lin Qiuhan, "Qiuhan, since we're free today, how about showing me around the city?"
"Ah... Okay, okay..."
Hearing Gu Changge's words, Lin Qiuhan felt like she had been struck by a pleasant surprise. Her head became dizzy with joy.
Last night, when the Lin family sealed the city and locked down the void, the entire ancient city's cultivators were uneasy, speculating about what had happened.
After all, just this morning, they had heard that the legendary ancestor of the Lin family, returning from the upper realms, was hosting a grand feast.
But by evening, it seemed something major had occurred.
The entire Lin family was furious and was searching for someone.
Many cultivators speculated about who had angered or offended the Lin family.
After the ancestor returned, the Lin family's power was unmatched in the Central Heavenly Domain.
The entire ancient city became nervous as many cultivators and beings panicked.
Later, rumors began to circulate that someone had used malicious means to try and harm the young master from the upper realms, intending to frame the Lin family.
The culprit was eventually found, and to everyone's shock, it was Lin Tian, the famous "waste" of the Lin family.
Many couldn't believe it.
This incident caused a stir, and many cultivators discussed it with astonishment.
After all, everyone knew the terrifying background and exceptional status of that young master from the upper realms. To target him was a death wish.
Meanwhile, the entire Middle Continent had been in turmoil.
From the Eight Domains, many powerful, ancient sects and royal families that had existed for over a hundred thousand years sent representatives to visit the Lin family, bringing with them lavish gifts. They sought to meet the ancestor and the mysterious young master.
The Young Cultivators' Debate, a prestigious event for the younger generation of the Middle Continent, was even moved to the Lin family's ancient city—an agreement made by various major sects and royal families.
As for the purpose, many cultivators had already guessed.
From the Eastern Wilderness, rumors spread that the Tai Xuan Sacred Land had become the undisputed overlord there, thanks in no small part to the Tai Xuan Saintess, renowned as the most beautiful woman of the East.
Many sects and royal families wanted to emulate her success. If their young disciples caught the young master's eye, it would be an opportunity of a lifetime.
After all, it was rumored that the ancestor of the Lin family, three thousand years ago, was a servant to that very young master.
Such a terrifying identity was inconceivable, shocking countless cultivators and prompting many to seek a glimpse of this young master.
In no time, the ancient city where the Lin family resided became lively with visitors. Practically every major sect and family sent their representatives, and even ancient races from primordial mountains that normally instilled fear in even the greatest sacred lands appeared.
These ancient races, said to be offshoots of some upper realm sects or tribes, were forces to be reckoned with. Any beings that emerged from these mountains were treated as honored guests by any of the top sacred lands.
