Chapter 359: Xu Family (2)

The man was shocked to sense that person behind him, but when he quickly turned around to see who it was, he was even more shocked.

The man said, "President, what are you doing here?"

The president just smiled without saying a thing.

The man then said, "President, those kids that just left now, they are…"

The president raised a hand to cut him off and said, "I know. I already have people looking into them. If they are what I think they are, this year's Hunters exam will really be interesting. If they even make it through, I might be able to receive a good bonus from the Hunters Organization…" After saying this, the president revealed a faint smile.

The man fell into a daze when he saw this smile since it was a smile that was like a flower blooming.

After the president came back from their fantasy, they said, "For now, just keep this information to yourself. The less people that know about this, the better, understood?"

The man gave a gulp when he saw the cold way the president was looking at him and he quickly nodded as he said, "Yes, president!"

But when he said this, the president had already disappeared.

The woman that he had called president was the president of the Seekers Guild, someone who had quite a high position in this Harmony City. But not only that, she was known as one of the Five Flowers of Harmony City.

…

After Lin Fan's group left the Seekers Guild, Lin Fan said, "Let's go to your Xu Family now."

Xu Lin's eyes lit up as he said, "Yes boss!" He had been waiting for Lin Fan to say this the entire time.

Now that he had obtained the Cloud Lingzhi, all that was left was to feed it to his dad to cure his poison and the One Shadow Organization was finished.

Xu Lin didn't wait at all as he called a beast carriage over.

While there were cars in this world, most people didn't use them since beast carriages were actually much faster than cars. Not to mention that there were also beast carriages that used flying beasts, which meant that they could go places that normal cars couldn't go.

Cars were generally only used in the lower realm or by those without any cultivation or had low levels of cultivation.

While Harmony City was called a city, it was actually much bigger than a normal city. It was even bigger than Supreme City back on the Blue Star Planet.

If Lin Fan had to compare it to something, it was even bigger than the municipalities from China on earth. It was actually almost as big as the Guangdong Province from earth, but it was also tightly packed with people and buildings, giving it a population of over a billion people in this city alone.

But Harmony City was also the biggest city in the Galactic Humanity Alliance since it was a city that was built by all twelve factions together, which was why it occupied such a large area and had so many people.

Normal cars definitely wouldn't be able to transport people across this large city.

The beast carriage that Xu Lin hired quickly drove its way through the streets of Harmony City and they soon arrived in a small community. This was a community in name, but it was already the size of a municipality from earth.

At the very center of this community was the Xu Manor who ruled over this area.

The Xu Family had an Embryo Soul Realm Expert at the helm, so it was able to easily control this area, but when it came to the entirety of Harmony City, he was only considered a local tyrant.

Once the beast carriage arrived at the Xu Manor, Xu Lin wanted to quickly head in, but Lin Fan slowly came out of the carriage. He even took the time to turn and help Angela down. Even if Xu Lin was anxious, there was nothing he could do in the end since he already decided to follow Lin Fan.

Once they all got out of the carriage, Xu Lin quickly led them up to the gate.

When the guards at the gate saw this group approaching, with how dark it was, the first thing they said was, "Please turn back, this is private territory. If you don't turn back, please don't blame us for being impolite."

Normally they wouldn't act like this, but with the situation of the Xu Family, they had received orders to turn away all visitors and they had been given permission to use force.

But before either of the guards could even raise their weapons, Xu Lin had already come forward with a token in hand as he said, "Where are your eyes? Don't you even see who I am? Move out of the way, now!"

Instead of how he normally acted, Xu Lin now had the aura of a young master.

When the guards saw Xu Lin and the token he held, they immediately changed their tone. One of the guards said, "Young master, you're finally back! Please hurry and see the old master, he doesn't have long."

Xu Lin was shocked when he heard this. He immediately grabbed the collar of the guard who had said that and said, "What do you mean by that? Tell me right away!"

The guard shrunk back at this, but he said, "Young master, there's no time for this right now. Please go and see the old master."

Xu Lin could tell that his tone wasn't normal, so he let go and immediately went in.

When the rest of them tried to go in, the guards moved forward to stop them. Seeing this, Xu Lin said, "They're with me, back to your positions."

The guards immediately gave a salute and said, "Yes, young master."

Based on how they acted, it was clear that Xu Lin's status in the Xu Family wasn't low. Then there was the fact that he had been given a Platinum Realm pet to protect himself with.

They went right through the gates and headed into the depths of the Xu Manor.

Along the way, there was almost no one in the halls other than a few guards.

Finally, when they arrived in the deepest room in the manor, there were plenty of people gathered outside that room. Looking carefully, they all looked somewhat similar to Xu Lin.

When they arrived, everyone turned to look at them and a few of them came out of the center to where Xu Lin was.

These were all old men and one of them asked, "Xiao Lin, did you get it?"

Xu Lin took out the Cloud Lingzhi and said, "Second uncle, I got it."

When they saw the Cloud Lingzhi, every single one of these old men let out a sigh of relief.

This was the Cloud Lingzhi that Xu Lin had gotten from the Green Mist Forest, rather it was the Cloud Lingzhi that he got from the Cloud Serpent's home. It turned out that the Cloud Lingzhi was something that only grew from the waste of the Cloud Serpent, so without the Cloud Serpent, there would be no Cloud Lingzhi.

That also meant that since the Cloud Serpent had come back with Xu Lin, the Cloud Lingzhi was now something that he could farm.

The Cloud Lingzhi was considered a rare medicine, so it would definitely sell well.

The old man who had just spoken waved his hand and said, "Clear the way, clear the way!"

As he said this, all the people gathered outside the door immediately parted like waves, creating a path to the door for Xu Lin.

The old man turned back to Xu Lin and said, "Xiao Lin, hurry up and feed this to your father, he can't hold on any longer."

Xu Lin heard this and knitted his brows even more, but he still gave a nod and headed right down the path to the door.

Lin Fan was about to follow him, but Xu Lin's second uncle came forward to stop him as he said, "I don't know who you are, but this is Xu Family matter. Please respect this and stay back."

Xu Lin had been heading forward, but when he heard this, he immediately turned around and stopped his second uncle as he said, "Second uncle, this is Senior Lin. He was the one who helped us get the Cloud Lingzhi and he might be able to help father."

Xu Lin's second uncle hesitated a bit, before relenting.

The main reason he was relenting was that he couldn't sense Lin Fan's cultivation at all and he was a peak Fragmented Soul Realm Expert. That meant that Lin Fan was probably in the Embryo Soul Realm just like the family head…

This kind of an expert was not someone their Xu Family could offend right now.

So Xu Lin and Lin Fan went into the room while everyone waited outside. The kids were unable to help and Momonga and Angela just weren't interested.

When they came into the room, they saw a man who was an older version of Xu Lin lying in bed with a face that was completely dark. It was clear that the poison he was suffering from was very strong and that he didn't have much time left.

Xu Lin quickly came forward and without any hesitation, he stuffed the Cloud Lingzhi in the man's mouth.

When he felt something in his mouth, the man suddenly woke up and looked up in surprise, but seeing that it was his son, he began chewing the thing in his mouth.

But even after he ate the Cloud Lingzhi, his face was still as dark as before.
