Chapter 118: Leading Lin clan in war
Leon and Lin gazed towards Yohan as they felt something different. They ignored Arjun as they both looked at Yohan with serious gazes.
Yohan smiled towards these two as he approached them. Arjun followed behind Yohan. Alena and Diya were sitting together. Both of them smiled as they saw Yohan.
Yohan also responded to these two with a pleasant smile and approached them.
"Mother, is dinner ready?" he asked Alena as he took a seat between his mother and Diya while the elder Lin and Leon sat together in front of him.
Alena nodded her head and smiled at Yohan.
"Yes, we are waiting for your father. He will be here soon." She smiled as she responded.
Yohan nodded his head and his gaze went towards Diya.
"Is everything okay? You are looking somewhat down," he asked her.
Diya bitterly smiled as she heard Yohan and nodded her head, but before she responded to him, Leon chuckled.
"She will be all right. This was her first day and your grandpa bullied her. She wasn't able to land a single hit on him, that's why she is sad." Leon looked towards Yohan as he spoke sarcastically.
Diya's face became red as she heard the words.
"NO...NO...I don't mean to harm grandpa, but still, I feel disappointed in myself," she said as she looked at Yohan and Leon. Hearing her words, the old man Lin smiled at her.
"I acknowledge you, that's why I decided to train you, daughter, it will take some time. You need to have patience when it comes to becoming a powerful cultivator," the old man responded.
He knew she wanted to be acknowledged by the old man Lin as she put everything into her attacks but he knew he couldn't go easy on her to boost her morale. She needed to understand that there was no shortcut to becoming stronger.
Arjun remained standing calmly as he heard this conversation. Alena noticed him and she insisted that he should accompany them to dinner, but he refused the offer and stood there.
The old man Lin took a deep sigh and asked him:"Is it something important, Arjun?"
Arjun nodded his head towards the old man Lin.
"Okay, you guys stay here, I will be back soon." The old man Lin looked towards everyone as he said those words and he was about to leave, but suddenly he halted his movement as he heard Yohan.
"Grandpa, I am also coming with you," Yohan said as he looked towards the old man Lin.
Leon and Alena turned their gazes towards Yohan as they heard him. Diya also looked at Yohan curiously.
"You want to join me. Is there something you want to talk about?" the old man asked Yohan.
"Yes grandpa, there is something that I wanted to talk with you about," he responded to the old man Lin as he got up from the sofa.
"Very well then, you guys stay here. We will join you at dinner." The old man Lin looked at Leon, Alena and Diya as he said those words and the next moment he signaled Yohan to follow him.
Yohan nodded his head and the next moment he looked at Diya and Alena. Both of them looked at him with a serious gaze, wondering why he wanted to join the conversation between the old man Lin and Arjun. They felt concerned about him but alas, both of them remained silent.
Some time later, three of them left the room, leaving Diya, Alena and Leon behind inside the dining hall.
Meanwhile,
Arjun and Yohan both followed the old man Lin towards his room.
Some time later, they finally arrived at his room and the old man Lin took a seat while Yohan and Arjun remained standing.
Arjun was confused as he didn't understand why Yohan wanted to be a part of their conversation. He found it strange, but alas, he didn't oppose his presence as he had already told him about the condition of the Hundred Poison valley sect.
That sect was on the verge of destruction, so they needed to form a plan to counter this situation.
"What happened, Arjun? You are looking worried about something, is everything all right?" the old man Lin asked him.
Arjun took a deep breath and looked towards the old man and nodded his head.
"Master, we need to do something about the Nichole clan, they are already on their way to destroy the Hundred Poison valley sect. There is no one inside that sect who can stop them, our few men looking over them are already dead. This is very deep, this time they are prepared to take over the whole sect and next they are going to take over the Pang city.
We need to stop him," Arjun said as he looked at old Lin.
Hearing those words, the old man took a deep breath as he had expected this outcome. Nicholas had planned this long ago as he used Raaj as his pawn. He didn't want an alliance with the Hundred Poison valley sect, he wanted to take the whole sector under his wings.
And he found that chance when he killed Haan and Raaj together...now he didn't have to bother with anything so he wanted to take over the Hundred Poison valley as soon as possible.
Yohan remained silent as he quietly listened to this conversation.
"We can't let him take over the Hundred Poison valley sect, we need to do something about this as soon as possible. That bastard is going to kill everyone inside the Hundred Poison valley if he can," old Lin said as he looked at Arjun and the next moment his gaze went towards Yohan who was calmly standing there and listening to this conversation.
Yohan smiled as he noticed his grandfather's gaze, and the old man understood that Yohan was up to something, otherwise he wouldn't have come.
"Do you want to discuss anything? I don't understand why you wanted to join us in this conversation. Do you have something on your mind that you want to share with me?" old Lin asked.
Yohan smiled at his grandpa and nodded his head.
"I want to go to the Hundred Poison valley sect and lead the war on the behalf of the Lin clan,'' Yohan responded to the old man Lin.
Hearing those words, the old man Lin stood up from his seat in shock.
"What did you say?" The old man Lin looked towards Yohan as he couldn't believe what he just heard from Yohan's mouth.
Yohan smiled at him and nodded his head.
"You heard right, grandpa. I have decided that I am going to help the Hundred Poison valley sect this time. I need your permission to go there and assist," Yohan responded to the old man Lin.
Arjun and the old man Lin exchanged glances as they heard Yohan. They were both speechless as they didn't know what just happened. This was a serious matter as the enemy forces were very high in numbers and the Nichole clan had support from surrounding clans. It would have been stupidity to let Yohan take part.
"Arjun, can you please wait outside? I want to discuss something with my grandson." The old man took a deep sigh as he looked around and then looked at Yohan.
Yohan remained calm, seeing his grandpa's gaze, while Arjun nodded his head and the next moment he left the room.
The whole room turned dead silent as the old man Lin took a deep breath and looked at Yohan.
"I am very confused about something, so tell me everything honestly," the old man Lin said to Yohan.
Yohan took a sigh and nodded his head towards his grandpa.
"Yes grandpa, ask anything, but before you ask me anything, I want to clear one thing. I have my reasons to go to the Hundred Poison valley sect and it has nothing to do with the promise you made with that old man," Yohan said as he looked at the old man Lin.
"It's not about that, I am not interested in why you wanted to go there, I want to ask you why I am not able to determine your cultivation base." The old man Lin looked at Yohan.
The old man Lin was looking at Yohan seriously as he said those words. Yohan had expected that question sooner or later.
Yohan turned dead silent as he didn't have the answer to why no one was able to determine his cultivation base. He was also confused about this as he knew this is related to the Asura.
Seeing that confused expression on Yohan's face, the old man Lin approached Yohan.
"What happened? You are hiding something from me," he said to him in a low voice.
Yohan nodded his head as he looked at his grandpa.
"I don't know, grandpa, how to explain to you but something has changed after initiating the soulbond with the Asura. That's the reason why no one was able to see my cultivation base and the same thing applies to my partner," Yohan responded to the old man Lin as he didn't want to hide Diya's situation as he knew that her cultivation base was also hidden.
Sooner or later, he was going to ask him about Diya so it was better to wrap things up in one go.
