The next day, the Ye Family spread the news about Lin Luo contracting a Black Iron Intermediate Battle Pet.
The story quickly spread online and by word of mouth throughout Cang State.
And it kept spreading further.
If not for the Ye Family leaking it, and Ye Heng's suspicious ruin, few would believe Lin Luo's reckless contracting cost him a growth feedback and ruined his foundation.
But because of Ye Heng's ruin, many believed it.
They thought Lin Luo was foolish.
Some even pitied Lin Luo.
He awakened Mythical Talents
and had extremely strong Spiritual Power.
If he progressed steadily, he could become a powerhouse.
Now, he might only reach King Rank Beast Tamer at best.
Beyond that, his foundation might not handle feedback.
Even the Lin Family's wealth, able to buy physical enhancement treasures, couldn't fix a weak foundation.
At Lin Mansion, the Lin Family elders knew the news.
"Pure fabrication! The Ye Family is just spreading lies!"
In the Lin Family council hall, the second elder shouted angrily.
"Yes, the Ye Family spreads baseless rumors out of their own assumptions. It's shameless!"
The third elder also felt furious.
"What should we do to clarify?"
The sixth elder asked.
Everyone was silent, unsure what to do.
Such things seemed impossible to clarify.
"No need to clarify,"
Lin Yuan entered the hall.
Lin Zhen, Ye Qingrou, and the six Great Elders stood respectfully.
"Father, why no clarification?"
Lin Zhen asked everyone.
Lin Yuan stroked his beard and smiled, "Everyone, think from another angle—bad things can turn to good."
"You mean this is actually good for the Lin Family?"
Ye Qingrou and others were puzzled.
Lin Yuan smiled, "To the outside world, the Lin Family awakened three Mythical Talents, one from the heir.
Tell me, if you were other powerful factions, wouldn't you be afraid?"
Lin Zhen, Ye Qingrou, and the elders suddenly understood.
"I get it. You mean the Ye Family's actions reduce some factions' fear of us, preventing top powers from uniting against the Lin Family out of fear," Lin Zhen said.
"Exactly. Ye Lingtian thought this move would hurt us and cause factions to abandon supporting the Lin Family, but he didn't realize we didn't care."
"With Lin Luo, as long as we have enough time, we will grow strong enough to make Jiuzhou tremble."
"For us, it's just a matter of time. The Ye Family's move actually gave us that time."
"This benefits us far more than it harms us."
Lin Yuan said smiling.
Lin Zhen, Ye Qingrou, and the elders smiled broadly, all displeasure gone.
Lin Luo knew this too and agreed. He thought it was a good thing, giving him and the Lin Family time.
After feeding his Battle Pets, Lin Luo went to Gu Jingya to continue training the Thunder Dragon Hatchling.
"Did you hear about the news today?"
Gu Jingya asked Lin Luo.
Lin Luo nodded.
"That's not true, right?"
Gu Jingya couldn't believe Lin Luo was so reckless.
"Of course not, I'm not that stupid," Lin Luo smiled.
"So it looks like the Ye Family is the foolish one?"
"Don't say that."
Gu Jingya smiled and returned to training.
Lin Luo meditated in a nearby pavilion.
Meditation could increase Spiritual Power strength.
Though Lin Luo's was already strong, no one disliked having more.
Meanwhile, at Ye Mansion, the Ye Family elders were pleased, thinking the Lin Family and Lin Luo must be furious.
They had no idea the Lin Family was not angry at all.
The elders and Lin Luo actually thanked the Ye Family for their unintended help.
Lin Yuan's greatest worry was other top powers uniting out of fear of the Lin Family's terrifying potential to destroy them.
Now, with the Ye Family's actions, other top powers would be more relaxed and wouldn't dare unite to destroy the Lin Family.
Such alliances only happen as a last resort.
Imagine if whenever a power grew, others united to suppress it.
Who would dare grow strong or develop?
Therefore, top powers seldom unite against another top power.
If the Ye Family knew they had helped bury themselves by aiding the Lin Family, they wouldn't know how to feel…
