Xuanzhi was both proud and moved; no matter when, the first person Yan Tianhen thinks of would definitely be him.

Fifth elder rolled his eyes at Yan Tianhen, “Little guy, aren’t you just bearing a grudge against me for not standing up for your Dage? Do you need to mock an old guy like me like this?”
“Master, Ah Hen just cares too much about me, he wasn’t targeting you on purpose.” Lin Xuanzhi explained.
Fifth elder waved his hands indifferently,, “If Benzun doesn’t give you some sort of compensation, that younger brother of yours will probably nag me for the next 8 to 10 years.”

Fifth elder pinched his fingers as he spoke and a purple card appeared in between them.
He threw this card to Lin Xuanzhi’s hand, then said reassuringly, “There’s a total of 20 000 gold in that currency card. That’s worth as much as a core pupil’s family allowance for ten years.”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled, then passed the card to the Yan Tianhen who was looking at the currency card eagerly, “Much thanks to Master.”
Yan Tianhen’s eyes were gleaming and had turned into crescents as he thanked Fifth elder, “Much thanks to Fifth Grandpa. Actually, I realised that you don’t look old at all, and you’re actually very handsome!”
Fifth elder didn’t have much of a temper when he was handling these two young ones, and now he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry because of Yan Tianhen, “Kid, someone with a bad temper will die of anger if he talks to you.”
“That’s why I’m saying that Fifth Grandpa’s temper is the best~!” Yan Tianhen said without a trace of guilt.
“Ai.” Fifth elder sighed, then thought to himself, once this boy has been satisfied, he even changes the way he addresses me! Then he thought of how in the past, Yan Tianhen would pull a long face the moment he saw him and walk around him. Those who didn’t know what their relationship was would have even thought that they had a feud.

Although Lin Xuanzhi had made quite a big profit today, his real goal had not been achieved yet.
Although he had been lucky and was barely capable enough to successfully defeat those assassins at Flying Luan Peak, if he doesn’t quickly nip the problem in the bud and get Fifth elder to put his guard up, there will only be more and more of such assassination attempts in the future.
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Fifth elder, “Master, the cultivators that you dispatched were supposedly loyal to you. However, not only did they not obey your orders, but they even colluded with the killers who had intercepted me on my way back. This is definitely not a simple matter.”
Fifth elder’s wise eyes instantly narrowed, a cold glint flashing through them.

For the guards he had dispatched to defect and collude with those disgusting bugs to harm Lin Xuanzhi was practically a slap to his face and a challenge to his power as an earth-level cultivator — this was something that Fifth elder Lin Runru could not tolerate no matter what.

Fifth elder uttered a hng, “You don’t need to worry about that, I’ve already sent some people to investigate this matter. If I find out that that there’s a mole in the Lin family…hehe.” With one cold laugh, everyone else could already imagine the horrific end the mole would meet once he was ferreted out.
Lin Xuanzhi’s mind was thus set at ease. He wouldn’t need to deal with what happens next, but, when necessary, he would still secretly throw the Fifth elder some suggestions.

Fifth elder pondered for a moment before speaking, “Actually, I called you over today to discuss another urgent matter as well.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Master, please go on.”
Fifth elder said, “Have you heard of the Hundred Families Gathering that’s held once every 30 to 50 years?”
Lin Xuanzhi’s heart turned cold and he solemnly nodded, “I do know about it.”
“I know about it too!” Yan Tianhen raised his hand and blinked his eyes, “I heard that the Hundred Families Gathering will be the grandest occasion within the Five Continents, and the elite-class and first-class families will send their most promising younger members there to compete. All kinds of amazing people will attend the Hundred Families Gathering, it’ll be super lively!”
Fifth elder nodded, “Since you’ve both heard about it, then I’ll get straight to the point. The Hundred Families Gathering will be held at the end of this year, which is about three months from now. Since your father, Lin Zhan, had done quite well in the previous Hundred Families Gathering, the Lin family is ranked 98th amongst the 100 families and was thus fortunate enough to obtain an invite to the Hundred Families Gathering. Even though the Lin family is far from what it used to be, we definitely can not let go of an opportunity like this!”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “Of course.”
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
The Hundred Families Gathering was the grandest ceremony within the Five Continents. It’s jointly organized by several elite-class families, elite sects, and chambers of commerce that are as wealthy as nations. Although this gathering was essentially hosted to give these families, sects and chambers of commerce the chance to flaunt their strength and deter the other families in the Five Continents from acting against them, this gathering also undeniably served as an important channel for the other families and sects to flaunt their strength, establish connections with more mighty powers, and even raise the status of their families.
One must know, while the younger generations of each family competed below, all the powerhouses of strong sects would secretly observe them from above. There were many genius youngsters who were discovered by those who wielded power in the strong sects during the competition and immediately achieved overnight success.
And there were even some young ladies in influential families who took a fancy to some youngsters and brought them back home to become sons-in-laws.

In any case, the Hundred Families Gathering was an opportunity that no family would forego.
But there were thousands of families within the Five Continents’ mainlands, and only a hundred families would have the honour of receiving an invite and formally enter the public’s view.
