The matter concerning Yuehua Sect was not mentioned by Lin Ya when Yun Jin and Yu Songnian went down the mountain.
If Lin Ya had known in advance, he would have certainly given them some instructions.
But Lin Ya didn't say anything.
This could only mean that the matter of Yuehua Sect having ties with the Yu Family had not spread beyond Lin City. It's possible that Yuehua Sect didn't want others paying too much attention to the sword domain, and therefore deliberately suppressed the news.
This time.
Yuehua Sect seemed to have complete confidence, and thus planned to use the ten-year sword domain opening to make a high-profile move and completely break the sword domain.
Since they were intentionally promoting Ma Yuanwu, even though Tianxing Sect was remote, it should soon receive the news as well.
Yun Jin quickly caught up with Yu Songnian.
Yu Songnian's expression was gloomy as he continued walking.
Yun Jin followed him silently.
After walking for a while, Yu Songnian suddenly stopped. He looked at Yun Jin apologetically, "Little Junior Sister, I..."
Yun Jin was very obedient, "Third Senior Brother, you don't need to say anything. I understand."
Yu Songnian nodded, his voice somewhat heavy, "Father worked very hard to build the Yu Family into what it was."
The current Yu Family, in the eyes of many Yu Family members, might be better.
But in Yu Songnian's view, it had completely destroyed his father's life's work.
Yun Jin said softly, "Then change the current Yu Family."
Change it?
That's easier said than done.
Yu Songnian let out a bitter laugh.
The Yu Family now had Yuehua Sect as their backing. They're probably enjoying great success.
What could he, a cripple, possibly change?
Yun Jin said seriously, "Speaking of which, Third Senior Brother, you are the true legitimate heir. If you hadn't been forced out back then, the position of patriarch should've been yours. Since you don't like the current Yu Family, then seize the patriarch position back and change everything!"
Yu Songnian's whole body trembled.
He couldn't help but look at Yun Jin.
Such words that sounded like sheer fantasy were spoken by his little junior sister as if they were a matter of fact.
"Is there a problem?" Yun Jin looked at Yu Songnian with some confusion.
Yu Songnian looked at her, then suddenly laughed.
How could he forget?
In front of his little junior sister, where was there ever such a thing as fantasy?
What she was best at was creating miracles.
If it was his little junior sister in this situation, Yu Songnian believed that she would definitely be able to reclaim the Yu Family and change it.
But…
He's just a cripple. Now, he could barely even maintain Golden Core Stage cultivation.
How was he supposed to accomplish any of this?
Yu Songnian said slowly, "Little Junior Sister, we came this time mainly to complete a sect mission. The Yu Family was originally only incidental. Now that a super sect has intervened, continuing to involve ourselves would be dangerous. It would be better to complete the mission and leave Lin City immediately."
Yu Songnian wasn't afraid of danger, but this was Yun Jin's first time going down the mountain. He didn't want there to be any possibility of Yun Jin encountering danger.
That is, after all, a super sect. Not to mention Yun Jin, it's an enormous existence even for the entire Tianxing Sect.
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow, "The mission must be done, but the sword domain must also be visited. Just because that Ma Yuanwu claims he can break the sword domain, does that mean he definitely can? This time Yuehua Sect has made such a big show of it. When the time comes, there will certainly be many onlookers. If I break the sword domain in full view of everyone, what could they possibly do to me?"
Yun Jin was now hoping that the news about Ma Yuanwu breaking the sword domain would spread as far as possible.
The more people there are, the less likely would Yuehua Sect dare to use underhanded means.
If anything unexpected happened, she also had the token given by Ji Wusi, with which she could request help from the nearby Demon-Destroying Alliance.
Yun Jin didn't want to use the Demon-Destroying Alliance to suppress others by force. She only wanted a fair competition, under such circumstances, no one could say anything against her.
Moreover.
Third Senior Brother's condition could no longer wait.
If the matter here wasn't resolved, Third Senior Brother was simply waiting to die.
Even if there were risks, she had to break the sword domain and then make a request to the Yu Family to uncover the truth of Third Senior Brother's origins.
Yun Jin wouldn't say these things to Yu Songnian. Saying them would only increase the pressure on him. But she herself was determined to do it.
Seeing Yun Jin's insistence, Yu Songnian didn't feel surprised at all.
Retreating in the face of difficulty had never been Little Junior Sister's style.
The corners of his lips slowly curved into a smile, "Alright, Little Junior Sister. Then I will accompany you to make a huge commotion."
"That's more like it! I knew that people associated with stones are never simple," Yun Jin patted Yu Songnian on the shoulder.
The last one to be associated with stones had been Sun Wukong.
Yu Songnian didn't understand. He only looked at Yun Jin with some confusion.
Yun Jin chuckled and didn't explain, "Third Senior Brother, then let us quietly wait for the sword tomb to open and the sword domain to activate. When the time comes, I will definitely obtain the treasure at the center."
Yu Songnian nodded. The two concealed their presence and soon disappeared into the night.
Yu Family.
The Yu Family patriarch stared darkly at the seven people kneeling on the ground.
They had come all this way carrying the recording stone and had embarrassed the entire Yu Family!
If he hadn't forcibly destroyed that worthless stone, it would still be projecting images til now!
"Father." A young man beside him smiled slightly. "That cripple actually returned. You should be happy instead."
This young man was Yu Lin's treasured son who had entered Yuehua Sect, Yu Liangping.
Yu Lin's brows relaxed slightly as he said calmly, "Originally, once the matter of the sword domain was settled, I was going to make a trip to Tianxing Sect to deal with that little beast. Since he delivered himself to my doorstep, we can resolve this hidden trouble earlier."
Yu Songnian was, after all, of the Yu Family's legitimate heir.
Although he had been forced out of the Yu Family back then, there were still some old fossils within the family who kept thinking about bringing him back.
Hah.
A mere cripple.
There were people who still hoped he would replace him just by relying on the so-called position of legitimate heir.
Ridiculous.
Since that's the case, then it would be perfect to kill Yu Songnian in front of those old fossils and completely sever their thoughts.
"The one who made the move in the recording stone should be that Yun Jin," Yu Liangping said.
Yu Lin narrowed his eyes, "It should be her."
Some news about Tianxing Sect had vaguely circulated.
It's just that the versions were too exaggerated, and hardly anyone believed them.
That Yun Jin might indeed have some talent, but what kind of peerless genius could come from a place like Tianxing Sect? At most, it was just people from remote areas who had never seen the wider world exaggerating things.
"Since she claims to be a sword dao genius, then this trip to Lin City should be for the sword domain," Yu Liangping said.
"What a joke. A mere Tianxing Sect, what does it know of sword dao geniuses?" Yu Lin sneered. "This time, with your Senior Brother Ma here, it will be just right to let her see what a true genius really is."
Yu Liangping also laughed, "Senior Brother Ma arrives tomorrow. This time, the sword domain will definitely be broken in one go. If Yun Jin comes, then Yu Songnian will likely come as well. On the day the sword domain opens, we can eliminate them together."
"Very good." Yu Lin nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yu Liangping with an expression of approval. "Liangping, it's fortunate that I have such a good son as you."
If Yu Liangping hadn't entered Yuehua Sect.
Back when Yu Feng died, those old fossils were clamoring for a thorough investigation. When Yu Songnian was forced out, they also shouted about bringing him back.
But after Liangping gained Yuehua Sect's favor, those voices gradually diminished.
The most stubborn among them had been locked up by him. Without his word, they would never come out again.
He had finally been able to live comfortably.
Once Yu Songnian was eliminated in a few days, he would be able to rest easy, with no more hidden troubles.
