"Dad, Mom, why are you talking to him so politely? It's him who has brought trouble upon us in the first place..."

"Exactly, does he think he's above us just because he's rich? This time it's him who owes us, not vice versa. Besides, with all this wealth, who knows what shady business he's into. Those people who nabbed us, they didn't look like good people at all. When the authorities come to investigate, we need to tell them the truth, lest we get caught again, not knowing the full picture..."

Seeing their parents speak so politely, even obsequiously, to Lin Yun, the two young men voiced their dissatisfaction. In their eyes, their parents' attitude was disgraceful.

While speaking, they glanced at Lin Mengmeng, who was standing by their side.

When they mentioned the shady business, they especially emphasized it as if they were urging Lin Mengmeng to open her eyes wide and see Lin Yun for what he truly was.

Unfortunately, to their disappointment, Lin Mengmeng didn't even give them a glance and just kept her eyes on Lin Yun.

...

"Lin Yun..."

"Brother Lin..."

"Mr. Lin..."

"Lin..."

Compared to Lin Yun's relatives, his business partners were much more easy-going. Most of them were not ordinary businessmen. They had risen to such heights in business through their fine understanding of the situation. Seeing Lin Yun end his conversation with his relatives, they came forward one after another, smiling.

Among these people were Zhao Zhun, whom Lin Yun knew well from the Golden Dragon Building in Shen City, Zhao Long, who had a close relationship with Zhao Zhun and was the first to see Lin Yun's potential, a group of businessmen led by Wang Zhan, the owner of the Wangxian Tower in Immortal Origin County, and two subordinates who were always with Lin Yun, Ding Wei and Little Mei.

However, Ding Wei and Little Mei were a bit shy and only followed these big bosses behind, looking at Lin Yun together without saying a word.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry for getting you involved in this. Next, I will explain what happened, and then I will provide you with a solution..." Lin Yun apologized.

Then, Lin Yun told them that he had had a falling-out with the authorities. The people who had approached them were from a special government organization. Just now, the government even planned to take action against Immortal Origin County. He was unsure if the government would continue to target Immortal Origin County and these people's family and friends.

At present, it was not convenient for these people to go home. If anyone had concerns, they could list the names of the people they wanted to be brought over.

Next, Lin Yun planned to strengthen the base and expand his forces. Gathering these people now would serve as a head start. It was only a matter of time.

It was better to give the benefits to these familiar people and their acquaintances first rather than to strangers. If there were any bad characters among them, he would just kick them out.

Lin Yun didn't go into great detail about some things, like the government's use of superweapons against Immortal Origin County. He hinted at some things, like his current power and future trends.

To make things easier, Lin Yun used some hypnotic techniques while speaking, making these people believe him deeply.

Before long, Lin Yun received a list of names. He then sent Black One, Black Two, Lin Wu to Lin Jiu, who had the martial power of the early Huajin stage, and a robot with the strength of innate realm, with a bunch of flying cars to pick up these people.

...

Ten minutes later, Lin Yun arrived at the Middle East Base.

"Brother Lin..."

Guan Xiangsi and her brother had already been settled here by Lin Yun. At this moment, she was walking outside the base. Seeing the flying car descend with Lin Yun and a bunch of people, she immediately greeted them, exclaiming in surprise.

"Xiangsi..." Lin Yun smiled.

"Let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Lin Mengmeng, this is…" Then Lin Yun turned his head, looked at the row of people behind him, and spoke with a smile.

However, after greeting the others one by one, Guan Xiangsi's gaze finally rested on Lin Mengmeng. Lin Mengmeng's stunning beauty made Guan Xiangsi feel all the more inferior.

A faint trace of affection was completely buried in the bottom of her heart.

"Master..."

"Big Brother..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Lin Yun..."

People at the base, like Zhao Gang, Guan Jinshui, Xia Qingqing, and Lin Yun's parents, noticed the buzz and walked out one after another, expressing their delight.

What followed was Lin Yun's parents interacting with a few relatives, with Lin Yun introducing everyone to each other.

"Mengmeng!"

Among them, Xia Qingqing was ecstatic to see Lin Mengmeng and held her while chattering away.

The Middle East Base had ample buildings, so it was enough to accommodate these people now.

Around two hours later, Lin Yun had arranged everything for everyone.

...

"Qingqing, I want you to meet someone..." After managing these people, Lin Yun led Xia Qingqing to the martial arts hall, he chuckled.

Whooosh—

The moment his words fell, a black figure appeared beside Lin Yun, smiling at Xia Qingqing.

"Uncle Tian!" Upon seeing this figure, Xia Qingqing rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Last time, to protect them, Lin Tian had used his body to shield them from a powerful attack, resulting in his complete obliteration. This had weighed heavily on Xia Qingqing's heart ever since.

"Miss!" Lin Tian greeted with a bow, smiling.

"I told you last time, Lin Tian is a robot. I had recovered his memory chip back then. Now, I've reconstructed his body. He's even stronger now. Thanks to him, I was able to rescue Mengmeng and the others this time..." Lin Yun laughed as he said.

"Big Brother, Mengmeng is also here. You can't back out this time, okay?" Upon hearing Lin Yun mention Lin Mengmeng, Xia Qingqing blinked her eyes, spouting mischievously.

"What are you talking about? She's our good friend. I, I need to go handle some business…" Lin Yun laughed bitterly. Fearing that Xia Qingqing would say something else, he quickly retreated.

Watching Lin Yun's retreating figure, Xia Qingqing felt a warmth in her heart. She then fell silent. She wasn't a fool. While she didn't entirely understand the emotions between men and women, women were very perceptive.

She could tell that Lin Mengmeng had feelings for Lin Yun, and Lin Yun also had feelings for Lin Mengmeng. After all, a beautiful girl like Lin Mengmeng was hard to resist once known.

Similarly, Lin Mengmeng, being a martial arts practitioner, would naturally have feelings for someone as powerful and well-mannered as Lin Yun.

Any other man would have probably accepted a girl like Lin Mengmeng a long time ago. Xia Qingqing was already satisfied that Lin Yun could resist the temptation this far.

That's why she decided to let go. During this period, she pondered a lot. Lin Yun had said that as time passed, their powers would grow, their lifespans would extend, and one day, they might even achieve immortality. It wasn't impossible.

Perhaps because of her upbringing, Xia Qingqing lacked confidence in herself. She feared that she couldn't keep Lin Yun's heart, that he would get tired on their long journey to immortality. Also, being together by themselves could get lonely. She feared she couldn't reach Lin Yun's Martial Arts Realm and be the last one standing.

So, she decided to let go early—as long as she could stay by Lin Yun's side, as long as Lin Yun wasn't alone in the end.

Lin Mengmeng, a martial artist since childhood, with her talent and fondness for Lin Yun, was a good choice.

Some might not understand this thought, this emotion.

In reality, they have never loved someone enough.

When a person loves someone to a certain extent, she can think and sacrifice everything for him, even if it hurts herself. Find adventures at empire

Luckily, Lin Mengmeng was also her good friend. She enjoyed being with her. Xia Qingqing didn't mind if Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng ended up together.
