Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Drinking and Killing (Part 1)
At such a young age, Lin Yun had already reached a level far beyond the grasp of others. Many of the onlooking Martial Artists were filled with envy. They didn’t dare dream of matching him; they would be satisfied with even one percent of his strength."Sigh, comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable," one Martial Artist lamented, then turned and walked back into the city without a second glance.
"Young Master Lin, if you please." After the murmurs of astonishment subsided, Bai Ling invited Lin Yun to board the Bai Family’s carriage, then boarded it herself.
As for He Yuntian and his two companions, they rode in a separate carriage.
The patriarchs of every major family had come to welcome Lin Yun. In an instant, a procession of over a hundred carriages set off towards the Bai Family’s estate. The Bai Family had already informed all the major families in Wind City of Lin Yun’s arrival and announced that a banquet would be held in his honor at their home today.
Sharing the carriage with Bai Ling, Lin Yun began rubbing his temples as soon as he was seated. He truly hated these sycophantic occasions; deep down, he much preferred peace and quiet.
"What’s wrong? Not a fan of this sort of reception?" Bai Ling asked with a smile, noticing his discomfort.
"Yes, I really don’t," Lin Yun replied.
"Then what will you do about the banquet tonight?" Bai Ling teased.
Hearing this, Lin Yun looked up at Bai Ling, his expression growing serious. "Speaking of which, how are the preparations for the matter I had Bai Zhicheng message you about?"
"Don’t worry, everything is arranged. We can begin as soon as you give the word," Bai Ling replied.
Knowing there were no issues, Lin Yun nodded. ’Today’s banquet isn’t really to welcome me; it’s part of the plan Bai Ling and I already devised.’
Upon arriving at the Bai Mansion gates, well-prepared Bai Family servants respectfully led the carriages to the rear courtyard for keeping. Meanwhile, Bai Ling led the guests toward the Bai Family Main Hall.
There were over a hundred guests, but for a great family like the Bai, this was a small crowd. The Bai Family Main Hall had been prepared in advance, and it easily accommodated everyone without feeling the least bit crowded.
Once everyone was seated, Bai Family maids began serving wine and delicacies.
Lin Yun took the seat of honor. Flanking him were Patriarch Bai and Patriarch He. Seated below them were Bai Zhicheng, He Yuntian, and Zhou Wen.
The feast prepared by the Bai Family was indeed exquisite. The moment the aroma wafted by, Little Ape, who had been sound asleep in Lin Yun’s arms, leaped out. His fist-sized body landed directly on the table, and he immediately began to eat.
