Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Wen, Tan Yu misses you so much!"

Just then, a slightly childish, cheerful voice rang out, followed by a short figure running out from behind Lin Zuibai.

Her delicate, pretty face was full of joy. Wearing a well-fitting light blue dress, she cheered and stood on tiptoe to hug Xu Yun's sleeve.

Xu Yun looked closely and saw that the person who came was none other than Lin Tanyu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. She had grown taller than before, but still had some childishness.

"Little sister, you mustn't be rude."

Just then, a handsome young man with regular features walked out, looked at Lin Tanyu with a helpless expression, and then solemnly bowed to Xu Yun and the other person.

"Chi Ru greets Uncle Xu and Aunt Wen."

Lin Chiru has grown up a lot since then, and her words and actions are very appropriate, neither humble nor arrogant, and she is calm and composed.

Xu Yun seemed to see his father's figure in the other person, and it was clear that Lin Chiru had made a lot of progress during his time at the Biyunlin family.

"Fellow Daoists, I'm sorry. It's not easy for you to come all this way, only to have you witness this farce."

At the same time, Yao Lin, who had been by Lin Zuibai's side, curtsied with a wry smile. After many years apart, his once delicate and fair skin had become weathered and worn.

Besides getting older, it was mostly because of the troubles and exhaustion he had put into caring for the Lin family in Biyun.

However, he didn't seem to have any complaints, and his eyes were full of happiness.

"How could that be? We are sworn brothers with Brother Lin, and it's only natural that Tan Yu is very excited to see her after so many years."

Xu Yun smiled slightly, patted Lin Tanyu's head, making her squint her eyes comfortably and start shaking her head.

When Lin Tanyu first arrived at this wasteland, she realized that she probably wouldn't see Uncle Xu and Aunt Wen again for a long time, and she cried several times because of this.

Unexpectedly, she was able to see them again today, which made Lin Tanyu extremely happy. In particular, seeing Uncle Xu was just like before, which made her feel as if she had returned to the carefree days of the past.

At the same time, Lin Zuibai introduced the other members of the Biyun Lin family to Xu Yun and the other person. Some of them were his distant relatives, while others were guests recruited from outside.

These people were also an important part of the Biyun Lin family. At this moment, they dared not be negligent in front of Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu, and hurriedly cupped their hands in greeting.

These people were almost all at the Qi Refining stage or mid-stage. Naturally, they were very polite to the two late-stage Qi Refining experts. They also knew that their families' pills and talismans had always been provided by these two, so they were very respectful.

After a brief introduction, Lin Zuibai led everyone into Biyun Mountain, sealed off the formation, and ordered the others to continue guarding it.

A moment later, in a large lobby.

Xu Yunduan sat on the prayer mat and looked at Lin Zuibai, who was sitting in the main seat, and said in a deep voice, "We all know what happened. I wonder how you plan to deal with the Manglong family that day?"

The Tianmanglong family was the enemy that wanted to seize the spirit stone mine. Lin Zuibai had already stated this in the jade slip, and Xu Yun and the other person were also fully aware of it.

"The Tianmanglong family has two late-stage Qi Refining experts. One of them broke through earlier, but he is sharp in combat and ruthless in his methods. Even I am wary of him."

At this point, Lin Zuibai's expression turned somewhat grim. Originally, the Manglong family only had one late-stage Qi Refining expert that day, which was considered to be on par with his Biyun Lin family.

The two families had been living in peace and maintaining a balance. However, when the other side had two late-stage Qi Refining experts, it revealed its true colors and dealt a heavy blow to the Biyunlin family.

Even now, the other party is still trying to seize the spirit stone mine of the Biyun Lin family, clearly intending to cut off their family's path to survival, and they have become mortal enemies.

"Since that's the case, if the three of us go out together, even that fierce late-stage Qi Refining expert won't be able to escape unscathed. At the very least, we can inflict damage on him."

Wen Lingyu listened patiently and then shared her thoughts.

However, Lin Zuibai shook his head upon hearing this and solemnly said, "No, this time it's just to protect the spirit stone mine of my Biyun Lin family. We only need two late-stage Qi Refining experts to make the Tianmang Long family wary."

"As for the remaining one, please keep him at my Biyunlin family home just in case."

This was a decision Lin Zuibai made after weighing the pros and cons and considering it many times. In the end, Xu Yun and the other two were just external helpers he had invited, and they would leave sooner or later.

If all three of them were to appear together and act too aggressively, causing significant losses to the Tianmanglong family would be satisfying, but it would also make other cultivation families and sects developing in this wasteland wary.

It's possible that once Xu Yun and his companion leave, they'll figure out the truth and join forces to completely annihilate the Biyun Lin family.

By then, even if they sent a distress message to Xu Yun and the other person, it would be too late and pointless.

Therefore, all we need to do is make the Tianmanglong family wary, then negotiate and make them return all the losses they caused to the Biyunlin family.

"In that case, I will accompany Brother Lin to confront the Tianmanglong family. Brother Xu can stay here to guard the area. What do you two think?"

Just then, Wen Lingyu spoke after thinking for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the two of them.

Through years of diligent cultivation and the aid of elixirs, she had long since broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

However, due to the invisible mask and his own divine sense, Xu Yun still appears to outsiders to be only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Furthermore, Wen Lingyu felt that Xu Yun didn't seem to like doing things with too much risk. This time, there was a high possibility of him going against the Tianmanglong family, so it would be better to let Xu Yun stay in Biyun Mountain.

"Xu has no objection."

Xu Yun glanced at Wen Lingyu with some surprise, but then didn't object and readily agreed.

Lin Zuibai nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "That's very good. In that case, I'll ask Brother Xu to protect the Biyun Lin family for me. Sister Wen, I'll need your help in three days as well."

"Brother, what are you saying..."

After finishing their business, the three of them began to chat, discussing their experiences and situations.

At the same time, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He never expected that Lin Zuibai would trust him so much, letting him stay in the Biyun Lin family without worrying about any unexpected events.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't dare to let outsiders stay in the family they built with their own hands, not even sworn friends. Even if they dared, they wouldn't be able to go out themselves and would have to stay in the family at all times to keep an eye on them.

However, Lin Zuibai was different. Not only did he go out to meet the enemy himself, but he also left Xu Yun at the Biyun Lin family. He was not worried at all that he would be bribed by others or that they would take advantage of his misfortune.

It's easy to imagine how much Lin Zuibai trusts him.

After chatting for a while, Lin Zuibai had his servants take Xu Yun and the other person to their respective cave dwellings to settle down.

"Um?"

After tidying up, Xu Yun sat upright on the futon and subconsciously summoned the light screen to check if the Initial Saint System had any suitable tasks, as usual.

He had given up hope, but as he swiped his finger down again, a message quickly appeared before Xu Yun's eyes, making him pause in surprise.

He then focused his attention on the message.
