"Cough, cough, cough, hello everyone."
Seeing the enthusiastic looks of the people around, Lin Kaishan felt unaccustomed to it.
Although he had now become a third-grade alchemist and could attract a crowd of people wherever he went.
But with Lin Xianfeng and Lin Chen both present, and these people surrounding him, he felt something was amiss.
Even though many people didn't know why Lin Xianfeng and Lin Chen had left the Lin family, and still thought he had kicked the father and son out after becoming the head of the family!
But only he knew the truth of the matter!
These people surrounding him now were simply trying to get some elixirs from him.
This was extremely difficult for Lin Kaishan at the moment!
Since he took over the Lin family, he realized the predicament the Lin family was facing.
The rare treasures Lin Xianfeng used to give him for practicing alchemy were all collected by Lin Xianfeng himself.
But now, the Lin family's warehouse was completely empty, with nothing valuable left!
However, he also knew very well that there were still some reserves in the Lin family's treasury before.
Later, because the second branch was dissatisfied with Lin Xianfeng becoming the acting head, they squandered all the rare treasures in the warehouse.
Now he could only suffer in silence, with no one to complain to.
Under such circumstances, let alone refining elixirs, it was extremely difficult even to maintain the normal cultivation of the cultivators in the Lin family!
Then, look at Lin Chen and Lin Xianfeng now.
The place where they lived was personally shown to them by Old Master Long. The manor was extremely luxurious and a symbol of noble status!
This was indeed enviable!
Especially Lin Chen, who now had a Nascent Soul stage expert as his bodyguard!
If they hadn't left the Lin family, wouldn't their family head be truly honored?
Unfortunately, there was no turning back in this world, and all of this was his own doing.
"Let's go."
Seeing Lin Kaishan walk in, Lin Xianfeng had no pleasant expression. He directly took Lin Chen and Wang Fang and turned into the living room inside.
Looking at the retreating backs of Lin Xianfeng and the others, Lin Kaishan felt a pang of bitterness, but didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, at this moment, Old Master Long led a group of people from the Long family to appear in the main hall, which also helped Lin Kaishan out of his predicament.
"Everyone, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to the Long family today."
Old Master Long had a smile on his face and instinctively glanced at Lin Chen beside him.
He was becoming more and more satisfied with this grandson-in-law of his!
"Today is my nephew Long Yixian's fiftieth birthday, and also the engagement day of my granddaughter, Long Yuling, and her grandson-in-law, Lin Chen!"
"It can truly be said to be double happiness!"
Old Master Long looked at the bustling crowd below, his expression filled with joy.
If Lin Chen hadn't given him a Clear Heart Pill, he would have already passed away and would not have had the current glory!
Since the diseases within his body were removed, his cultivation had also greatly improved.
If he continued to develop like this, he would reach the second-grade Nascent Soul realm before long!
At that time, he would be considered a top three expert among the ten great aristocratic families in the capital.
This was undoubtedly a great thing for the usually proud Old Master Long.
And all of this was obtained because of Lin Chen, so Old Master Long greatly respected Lin Chen.
Even though he was now his grandson-in-law, Old Master Long still treated Lin Chen as an equal.
Everyone in the Long family knew this clearly, and no one dared to object.
"Huh? Lin Chen? Engagement? Who is Lin Chen?"
"Could it be someone from the Lin family in the capital?"
"Impossible, impossible, I know all the people from the Lin family, and I haven't heard of anyone named Lin Chen!"
Hearing the name Lin Chen, all the guests looked at each other, none of them knowing who Lin Chen was.
Although they didn't know who Lin Chen was, they were very clear about Long Yuling's current status!
In recent days, there had been whispers in the Long family that Old Master Long intended to groom Long Yuling to become the third-generation heir of the Long family.
A woman, and not even Old Master Long's biological granddaughter!
To be able to become the third-generation heir of the Long family!
This was enough to show how much importance and affection Old Master Long placed on Long Yuling.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Old Master Long was going to marry Long Yuling off directly, which was really unexpected by everyone!
If Long Yuling could truly become the third-generation heir of the Long family, it would mean that her future husband's status and position would be absolutely equal to that of the current heads of the ten great aristocratic families.
Yet, they didn't even know who this Lin Chen was, as if his name was being heard for the first time in the entire capital!
"Old Master Long, may I ask who this Lin Chen you just mentioned is?"
Some people who had a good relationship with the Long family took the initiative to step forward and asked Old Master Long. They understood Old Master Long's personality very well; he was always straightforward and talkative and wouldn't get angry over a few questions.
"Hahahaha, everyone, I'll keep Lin Chen's identity a secret for now."
"Those who know him will naturally know him, and those who don't will naturally not know him."
"As for why I'm not telling you frankly, I can also be honest with you."
"I'm just afraid that once you know who Lin Chen is, you'll come to snatch my granddaughter's man."
Speaking of this, Old Master Long showed a meaningful smile and looked directly at the head of the Xiao family next to him.
Just a few days ago, he had only mentioned that Lin Chen could refine Clear Heart Pills, but this Xiao Jianguo actually brought his granddaughter to the Lin family to get engaged!
If it hadn't been for a misunderstanding, his granddaughter would have had no chance now!
So, for Old Master Long, Lin Chen's identity absolutely had to be kept secret!
Otherwise, if things went wrong, who knew how many talented young women would come to compete with his granddaughter!
"Ah? Secret?"
Hearing Old Master Long's words, the guests present were stunned.
Old Master Long had just said that today was an engagement banquet.
But they didn't even know who the groom was, which made the engagement banquet quite confusing!
