After settling the seating arrangents, they all enjoyed a nice al.
That was, it was a nice al from an outsider's perspective, but there was plenty of conflict that was hidden under the surface.
Yue Qingrou kept bringing more food into their plates and getting them to talk more even though there was a clear awkward atmosphere in the air.
Right beside Yue Qingrou, there was Lin Xue who was sitting there with a cold look on her face, clearly showing how unhappy she was with this situation.
Ti passed with this awkward dinner and soon it reached the end.
When dinner was over, Lin Fan suddenly had a serious look on his face as he said, "Dad, we need to talk."
Luo Qing imdiately recognized that this was serious, so she excused herself from the table and this ti Yue Qingrou didn't stop her. Everyone there could see that there was sothing important Lin Fan had to discuss and they could tell from the way that he had said those words that it was a family issue.
After Luo Qing left and Ye Qingrou ca back from sending her off, they sat at the table in silence for a bit.
Seeing that neither Lin Fan or Lin Ao spoke, Ye Qingrou couldn't help herself as she wanted to ask Lin Fan what he wanted to discuss. However, before she could, Lin Ao raised his hand and stopped her.
After a few more seconds of silence, Lin Fan finally spoke, "It's ti to go to True Light City."
Lin Xue was confused by this, but Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou imdiately understood what he ant.
Yue Qingrou imdiately knitted her brows and wanted to say sothing, but Lin Ao raised his hand and stopped her as he said, "How confident are you?"
Lin Fan looked back at him and gave a slight nod as he said, "I'm confident."
Lin Ao gave it another few seconds of thought before also giving a nod and saying, "Alright, then let's go. We'll have to arrange for a few days off of work and you probably have to arrange things with your store, so we'll set out in three days."
Yue Qingrou couldn't take it anymore and she cut in, "Lin Ao, what are you thinking?"
Lin Ao turned to her and said in a casual voice, "Our son is taking us on a trip to True Light City, there's nothing wrong with that."
Yue Qingrou revealed an angry look as she said, "Are you playing the fool? You and I both know what is in True Light City and you're agreeing to this trip so easily?"
Lin Ao gave a shrug and said, "What will co will co. Not to ntion that it's Xiao Fan who's taking us this ti."
Yue Qingrou stomped her foot and said, "You know full well what will happen if we go there. They've left us alone up to this point and now you want to go poke the hornet's nest?"
Lin Ao nodded at this and said, "Yes, they've left us alone for now, but that doesn't an they'll leave us alone forever. Instead of waiting for them to catch us off guard, why not just go to them?"
Yue Qingrou couldn't be more angry as she said, "You! Do you know what you are saying? You want to pit our son against them? All this for your pride?"
Lin Ao's eyes trembled for a second and there was a trace of dark look that appeared when she said this. After all, by saying this, Yue Qingrou had touched a line in the bottom of Lin Ao's heart, bringing up sothing that he didn't want to face.
The mont she said this, she realized that she had said sothing wrong and imdiately said, "I didn't an that..."
But before she could say anything else, Lin Ao said, "It's fine, just let it go."
Yue Qingrou fell silent after this, but then she still said, "This is too dangerous."
Lin Ao looked right at her and said, "Our son says that he is confident, the least we can do is support him."
Yue Qingrou looked stunned when she heard this, but then her expression slowly relaxed before she said with a sigh, "But still, I worry."
Lin Ao took her hand and patted the back of them as he said, "But that's a part of being a parent, isn't it?"
Finally Yue Qingrou conceded and said, "Alright, we'll follow Xiao Fan's plans."
Lin Ao nodded before turning back to Lin Fan and saying, "We'll set out in three days."
Lin Fan didn't say anything as he just gave a nod.
Lin Xue saw that everything was decided, but she still didn't know what was going on. She couldn't help asking, "What is in True Light City."
Lin Fan turned to look at her before slowly saying, "The Lin Family."
…
Those three days passed quickly and they soon were able to take care of everything.
In truth, after everything that had happened in Snow Wind City, Lin Fan's parents didn't actually have to work with the inco that ca from Lin Fan and all the various businesses the other families had helped them set up. The only reason they still worked at their old jobs was because they had been used to working those jobs.
As for Lin Xue, it was easy for her to get a few days off since everyone knew about her brother and she herself was the top student in her academy. There was no one in her academy that would go against her. Not to ntion that everyone knew that the principal was close to Lin Fan.
On the morning of the fourth day, they arrived at the airship station and were seen off by all their friends.
There were so that were worried since they knew where Lin Fan's family was heading, but still they didn't say a thing to stop them.
There was also Angela, Song Shu, and Momonga who had co to see them off.
Lin Fan was leaving them all here this ti because this was sothing that he had to do for himself.
It was his family and he wanted to proudly bring them into the Lin Family. Since that was the case, he couldn't get any help from anyone else.
However, none of them were worried for him since they knew just how powerful Lin Fan was when it ca to this lower realm. Unless sothing unexpected happened, even if the Legendary Realm Expert ca out, he was still confident in escaping. Not to ntion that there was almost no chance of that happening.
The Legendary Realm Expert of the Lin Family was like the Legendary Realm Expert of the Jiang Family, his natural limit was quickly approaching. He was actually even older than Jiang Wan Li, which ant that he was closer to death.
At such a point, unless the Lin Family was close to being destroyed, there was no chance that he would co out.
As for the rest of them, they would all fall under Lin Fan's fists.
It took them two days riding the airship before they arrived at True Light City.
Since Lin Fan's pockets were now filled with money, he naturally didn't mind spending to improve the comfort of his family. He had booked them a trip on the most luxurious airship, in the most luxurious room.
For Lin Ao who had co from the Lin Family and Yue Qingrou who had married him, they weren't strangers to this. Rather they seed quite accustod to traveling like this.
But for Lin Xue who was born after Lin Ao left the Lin Family, she had never experienced any of this extravagance.
Even if she had been living in a much better house after the incident with the Feng Family in Snow Wind City, it was only considered a minor luxury. This airship was on a completely different scale.
Once she stepped on, she couldn't help staring at all the things around her like a little child with wide sparkling eyes.
When Lin Fan looked at her, he even felt that she had been like Song Shu when she had first ridden on a luxury airship. As this thought popped into his mind, Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
It didn't take long for Lin Xue to co back to her senses and she imdiately noticed the way Lin Fan was looking at her. Her expression imdiately turned cold and she headed off towards their room.
Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile before going to help his parents.
This trip didn't have much excitent like the one Lin Fan had taken with Song Shu. The two days passed quickly and soon they arrived in True Light City.
After arriving in True Light City, what they didn't do right away was go and find a hotel to stay in. Rather Lin Fan brought his family and all their luggage to a beast carriage before giving the driver an address.
His family didn't know where he was taking them, but they couldn't help being a little worried. After all, they were currently in the territory of the Lin Family and there were quite a few people who recognized Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou.
They knew that they were here to cause trouble, but before settling down, causing trouble wasn't sothing they should do.
But they didn't have a choice in this matter since Lin Fan brought them to where the trouble was.
When the beast carriage arrived at its destination, they were shocked to see what was outside the window.
It was a giant mansion and at the gate, there was a plaque with the word 'Lin' hanging there.
