Chapter 49: Though We Meet, You Know Me Not 2
Dream Dao Attainment: Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“So you’re Yang Zhiyun?”
“You got here pretty fast.”
“What? Are you here to stand up for your son?”
Lin Qi wasn’t too surprised by Yang Zhiyun’s appearance.
After all, when the young one gets beaten, the old one shows up. Very reasonable.
“Fellow Daoist misunderstands.”
Yang Zhiyun’s face twitched, and he forced a smile. “I’ve come to mourn my own younger sister. Also, regarding my worthless son’s offense against Fellow Daoist today.”
“I apologize to you on his behalf.”
“Please, Fellow Daoist, be magnanimous and don’t take it to heart.”
As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face, and Yang Zhiyun’s posture was already this low.
Lin Qi could only give a slight nod, signaling Yang Qingqiu to lead Yang Zhiyun to the Mourning Hall to pay his respects.
Yang Qingqiu was still somewhat uneasy. Toward this nominal Great-Uncle, she felt a bit afraid, but she could only muster her courage and lead Yang Zhiyun to the Mourning Hall to pay respects.
After the rites were done, Yang Zhiyun spoke to Yang Qingqiu. “Yourong has no offspring. Since you have inherited everything from her, the offerings on the first and fifteenth of every month must never be neglected.”
“You must know gratitude. If I later learn that you have been disrespectful to Yourong.”
“Then even if you enter the Immortal Academy in the future, don’t blame this elder for looking down on you.”
After a few bossy words, Yang Zhiyun, not waiting for Yang Qingqiu to reply, hesitated and asked Lin Qi, “Fellow Daoist, have we met somewhere before?”
“Fellow Daoist Yang jests. You are an honored menial cultivator of the Immortal Academy; even the Law Enforcement Hall gives you some face.”
“I am merely a wanderer with no fixed home. How would I have had the chance to witness your elegance?”
Lin Qi spoke neither warmly nor coldly, inwardly guessing whether this Yang Zhiyun had come to stand up for that Donkey-Faced Daoist from before.
“Fellow Daoist is too modest.”
“With your abilities, if you were willing, the Immortal Academy would surely open its doors to you.”
“Quite apart from anything else, just based on how easily you repelled the Yellow Turban Strongman today.”
“Even among the Immortal Academy’s many peak Qi Refining cultivators, those who could accomplish it are few and far between.”
Yang Zhiyun spoke without exaggeration or bias.
In truth, it was indeed so.
If he had not seen with his own eyes the cracks Lin Qi had left on the Yellow Turban Strongman, he would not have rushed over from the Immortal Academy overnight to clean up his son’s mess.
Yang Qingqiu had long hair but short sight.
There was no knowing that the Law Enforcement Hall’s Yellow Turban Strongman possessed a might said to be unmatched below Foundation Establishment.
But Yang Zhiyun, as a menial cultivator of the Immortal Academy, knew it very well.
So a cultivator who could easily repulse the Yellow Turban Strongman
was either Foundation Establishment, or possessed combat power invincible within the Qi Refinement Realm.
