Chapter 514 Negotiation With Lin Ancient Family

As the small fleet of Flying Ships soared through the vast expanse of the cosmos, Wang Jian couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement mingled with apprehension. He was seated beside Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan, surrounded by the other beautiful elders of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion, each one brimming with determination.

The journey continued as the Flying Ships traversed the cosmic landscape at breakneck speed. Wang Jian stole glances out of the viewport, his mind racing with thoughts of the impending confrontation.

'Just a little while longer,' he reassured himself silently, steeling his resolve for the challenges that awaited them in the Lin Family's Starry Expanse.

After nearly two days of travel through the vast expanse of the cosmos, the Flying Ships of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion finally arrived at the Lin Family's Starry Expanse. Despite the speed granted by the Spatial Nodes, the journey had felt like an eternity, each passing moment tinged with anticipation and uncertainty.

As they approached the Spatial Barrier surrounding the Lin Family's Starry Expanse, Wang Jian's heart pounded with nervous excitement. He had made arrangements with Lin Xingya beforehand, ensuring that the Spatial Barrier would remain open for their arrival.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Now, as the Flying Ships breached the barrier and entered the starry expanse, a sense of relief washed over him.

"Looks like our plan worked," Wang Jian remarked, casting a satisfied glance at Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan beside him.

She nodded in agreement, her expression one of quiet determination. "Indeed. Now let's make the most of this opportunity," she replied, her voice steady with resolve.

As the Flying Ships docked at the main star where the Lin Family resided, Wang Jian and the others disembarked, greeted by the sight of Lin Xingya and several formidable ancestors of the Lin Family.

One of the elder Lin Family members, a stern-looking man with a formidable aura, stepped forward, his gaze piercing as he addressed Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan. "Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan, we welcome you and your esteemed guests to the Lin Family's Starry Expanse," he said, his tone respectful but tinged with a hint of wariness.

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan inclined her head in acknowledgment. "Thank you for your hospitality, Elder Lin," she replied, her voice carrying a note of authority. "We have come seeking assistance in a matter of great urgency."

Elder Lin's expression softened slightly, though the air of caution remained. "Of course, Pavilion Mistress. Please, come with us. We will discuss this matter further with our family's council."

The ancestors of the Lin Family, though proud and haughty, showed deference to Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan and her entourage. Despite their formidable strength, they recognized the prestige of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion and the authority of Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan.

Meanwhile, amidst the exchange of pleasantries, Wang Jian emerged from the Flying Ship alongside Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan, drawing curious glances from the Lin Family ancestors.

"Who is that man?" whispered one of the Lin Family elders to his companion, eyeing Wang Jian with suspicion.

"I have no idea," replied the other, furrowing his brow. "But he emerged from the same Flying Ship as Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan. He must be important."

"I must consult with my council before making a decision," Lin Zhiqui announced, his tone measured. "But rest assured, Pavilion Mistress, your proposal will be given due consideration."

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan nodded in understanding. "Of course, Patriarch Lin. We await your decision," she replied, her expression hopeful yet determined.

As the council chamber emptied and the members of the Lin Family dispersed to deliberate, Wang Jian couldn't help but feel a surge of optimism. It seemed that their plan was one step closer to fruition, thanks to Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's shrewd negotiation tactics.

A couple of hours passed by as Patriarch Lin Zhiqui discussed this matter with his council while hearing their responses.

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan knew that she had put forth a compelling case for Lin Family's assistance in rescuing the abducted elders of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion, but she knew that the final decision rested in the hands of the Lin Family's patriarch.

After what felt like an eternity, they were called into the council again.

Patriarch Lin Zhiqui spoke, his voice carrying the weight of authority. "We have deliberated on your request, Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan," he began, his tone measured. "While we are willing to offer our assistance, I must make it clear that the Lin Family will not engage in direct conflict with the Star Lords."

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan nodded in understanding, her expression calm yet resolute. "Your terms are acceptable, Patriarch Lin," she replied, her voice unwavering.

Patriarch Lin Zhiqui offered a faint smile of approval, his demeanor regal. "Very well, Pavilion Mistress. We shall lend our aid in whatever capacity we can," he declared, his words echoing through the chamber.

With Patriarch Lin Zhiqui's agreement secured, Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan felt a wave of relief wash over her. It was a small victory, but a significant one nonetheless.

As the council chamber emptied and the members of the Lin Family dispersed to make preparations, Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan turned to Wang Jian with a grateful smile. "Thank you for your assistance, Wang Jian," she said, her voice tinged with appreciation. "Your connection with Lin Xingya proved invaluable in securing the Lin Family's support."

Wang Jian returned her smile with a nod of acknowledgment. "I am glad I could be of help, Pavilion Mistress," he replied, his tone humble. "I will do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of our abducted elders."

With their alliance with the Lin Family forged, Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan wasted no time in coordinating their next steps. "We must act swiftly," she declared, her voice firm. "We will rendezvous with the Lin Family's array masters and strategize our approach to locating the abducted elders."

The group quickly made their way to the designated meeting point, where they were greeted by a team of skilled array masters from the Lin Family. As they exchanged pleasantries and discussed their plan of action, Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan couldn't help but feel a sense of optimism. With the combined expertise of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion and the Lin Family, they stood a fighting chance against the Star Lords.

Wang Jian observed the proceedings with keen interest, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew that the success of their mission hinged on their ability to outmaneuver the powerful Star Lords, and he was determined to do whatever it took to ensure their victory.

As the discussion continued late into the night, plans were drawn, strategies were devised.

The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as they prepared to embark on their daring rescue mission.
