"What's going on? That woman, she seems..."
Lin Yuelong beside him also noticed something was wrong.
The woman's gaze, which had been icy cold moments ago when she looked at Lin Chen, had instantly softened.
There was definitely a story behind this!
But he also knew very well that Lin Chen had used a disguise technique, and even his own aura had been completely altered.
Let alone others, even he himself, if Lin Chen hadn't personally admitted it, wouldn't dare to say that the person in front of him was his own nephew!
Yet that woman, somehow, seemed to have recognized Lin Chen's identity so easily!
"I know, that must be the eldest daughter of the Dragon family's Zhejiang branch, Long Yuling!"
Once he understood the crux of the matter, Lin Yuelong narrowed his eyes, and everything became clear.
Lin Chen's disguise technique was incredibly profound. Unless one's cultivation realm was not one major realm higher than his, no one could possibly see through it.
But here, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator had seen through all of Lin Chen's disguises at a glance.
And in the entire Zhejiang province, or even the entire Southwest, there was only one person who could do this: Long Yuling!
"Tsk tsk tsk, second uncle, your mind is quite sharp."
Seeing Lin Yuelong deduce Long Yuling's true identity from a mere glance, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Although he hadn't known Lin Yuelong for long, he could roughly understand that his second uncle was probably a straightforward fellow.
Yet, even he had discovered clues from such subtle details, which was enough to prove that those people in the capital were definitely not to be trifled with!
It seemed the more this was the case, the more he had to be careful, lest his identity be exposed!
His master had not yet come out of seclusion. He would not take any cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage seriously.
Even if a Half-Step Nascent Soul cultivator were to attack him personally, he was now confident he could defeat them. As long as he didn't expose his true identity, the other party would definitely not send a Nascent Soul cultivator.
But he also knew that the current situation in the capital was a quagmire. If his identity were truly exposed, and the second branch of the Lin family saw his talent, they would absolutely not let him off easily.
At that time, he would probably have to face Nascent Soul cultivators!
Even though he could fight beyond his level now, a Nascent Soul cultivator was still a Nascent Soul cultivator. The chasm between them was not something that could be easily bridged.
Before he reached the Half-Step Nascent Soul realm, it was best for him to be cautious.
"Don't worry, no matter what, second uncle will risk his life to ensure your and your mother's safety!"
Seeing Lin Chen's serious expression, Lin Yuelong naturally understood his concerns and immediately made a promise.
Over the years, the Lin family had wronged this mother and son too much!
Lin Chen's return to the Lin family in disguise this time was to assess the current environment of the Lin family.
If he were disappointed, he would probably turn around and leave immediately, wouldn't he?
Lin Chen did not reply further. He lay back in his chair and began to rest his eyes.
The plane flew for three to four hours before finally arriving at the Kyoto airport.
It was already night in Kyoto, but the surrounding lights made the entire airport as bright as day.
Kyoto was indeed a big city, not comparable to a small place like Hangcheng!
As they disembarked, Long Yuling discreetly waved at Lin Chen and got into the car that was waiting for her.
"We'll go this way. I've already arranged for someone to wait for us."
After getting off the plane, Lin Yuelong also said to Lin Chen.
"Yes, second uncle. From now on, please call me Chen Lin."
Lin Chen then seemed to recall something and said to Lin Yuelong.
Since he had changed his appearance, his name should naturally change as well.
"By the way, second uncle, don't betray me. If I find out you've betrayed me, I'll take mother and leave Hangcheng."
"I guarantee that you won't find us even if you search for another hundred years."
"Don't worry, don't worry. Is your second uncle that kind of person?"
Hearing Lin Chen's instructions, Lin Yuelong couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He hadn't expected that Lin Chen didn't trust him this much now!
Then, led by Lin Yuelong, Lin Chen also got into the car sent by the Lin family to pick them up and headed directly towards the Lin family headquarters.
At this moment, the Lin family compound was brightly lit.
Countless guests were coming and going in the courtyard, creating a lively scene.
Many influential figures from Kyoto were gathered at the Lin family, celebrating together.
The reason for the joyous occasion was simple: Lin Kai-shan, the eldest son of the Lin family's second branch, had now become a Rank Three Alchemist!
A Rank Three Alchemist! There were only a few such individuals in the entire Dragon Country's cultivation world.
Yet Lin Kai-shan, not yet fifty years old, had become a Rank Three Alchemist. Given more time, becoming a Rank Four Alchemist would be within reach.
Perhaps, even becoming a legendary Rank Five Alchemist was not impossible.
After all, Lin Kai-shan's talent was evident!
In the entire Kyoto, who would dare to underestimate him?
"Master Lin, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Master Lin, congratulations to the Lin family for reaching new heights. You will undoubtedly be the next Lin family patriarch!"
"Master Lin, our Zhou family has a long-standing relationship with your Lin family, and we have always supported you becoming the Lin family patriarch. We hope for your continued care in the future!"
A group of people surrounded Lin Kai-shan, their words full of flattery.
A Rank Three Alchemist held a significant position in the entire Dragon Country.
In terms of status, they could already crush Half-Step Nascent Soul cultivators and were on par with Nascent Soul cultivators.
What was most important was that a Rank Four Alchemist could refine Rank Three pills.
As long as there were sufficient materials, they could cultivate several Nascent Soul cultivators!
It could be said that even Nascent Soul cultivators had to show respect to a Rank Three Alchemist!
Especially since Lin Kai-shan was only fifty years old, which was relatively young considering the lifespan of cultivators.
His future was limitless!
Once Lin Kai-shan became a Rank Four Alchemist, even Nascent Soul cultivators would willingly submit to him!
It was precisely because of this that Lin Kai-shan now had so much support.
"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone. In the future, if you need me to refine any pills, I will definitely not refuse as long as I have the time."
Lin Kai-shan revealed a slight smile at these people's flattery.
Previously, the second branch had no powerful experts, so they could only rely on continuously suppressing Lin Xianfeng to maintain a balance with the first branch.
