Chapter 37: Preparing Gifts

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the Great Elder left, only Lin Suxin and the unconscious Lin Pingzhi were left in the room.

Recalling everything that had happened before, Lin Suxin was still in a bit of a daze. She hadn’t expected that Senior Ye would take the initiative to help her father. She thought that she would have to request a visit.

“I owe Senior Ye a huge favor this time. But even if all the items in the Lin family’s storeroom were to be given away, it wouldn’t be comparable to senior’s action this time.”

“I wonder what father gave last time, what should I do?”

Lin Suxin sat on the chair, her back facing Lin Pingzhi, and muttered softly.

She couldn’t send cheap gifts, but in Senior Ye’s eyes, the Lin family didn’t have anything good. After all, the two parties weren’t on the same level. The items that the Lin family felt were precious, in Senior Ye’s eyes, were just very ordinary items.

After thinking for a while, she couldn’t come up with anything. Lin Suxin was so frustrated that she puffed up her cheeks and felt a little discouraged.

At this moment, the unconscious Lin Pingzhi opened his eyes in a daze. He lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. His first thought was, “I’m still alive?”

After he was injured and recognized that Abyss lizard, he was already in despair.

The Lin family couldn’t hire experts of a higher level, and those of a lower level couldn’t treat him at all. What was going on now?

Lin Pingzhi turned his head and saw his daughter’s back facing him. It seemed like something had happened.

After calming down, he asked, “Suxin, what’s wrong? Is it because of that Abyss lizard? You seem very unhappy.”

Suddenly hearing a voice behind her, Lin Suxin was shocked. Then, she came back to her senses. Her father had woken up.

Lin Suxin turned around and quickly asked, “How do you feel now? Senior Xu Ziqi came to visit you just now. Someone from the Ban family also came.”

Xu Ziqi?

Lin Pingzhi thought for a while and then remembered that there was such a person. It was a senior who had comprehended the laws of the opposing light and dark magic elements.

He was feeling his body’s condition. His injuries were basically healed. At the moment, it was the vanity caused by his empty body. His eyes widened slightly, and he asked in shock, “Has Senior Xu comprehended the third law?”

Wasn’t this too fast? Did she advance from a magister to an archmagister in just a short while?

Could it be that he had been unconscious for a long time?

Lin Suxin was stunned, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she explained, “It’s not what you think. It’s mainly because Senior Ye made a move and got a Ban family member to send over a pocket watch. Senior Xu activated the power of the law of time contained in the pocket watch and removed the power of the Abyss.”

“The Great Elder is handling the gift of gratitude for the Ban family, and it should be sent out today. They are also organizing people to capture the Abyss lizard. I reckon there will be results soon.”

“What I’m worried about now is how we should thank Senior Ye for his great favor.”

“Although our gratitude is not as valuable as Senior Ye’s help, we have to be considerate. I can’t think of anything. Father, what did you give him last time?”

After Lin Pingzhi heard it, he suddenly understood. Just like what he thought, although Xu Ziqi was very strong, she was not that strong yet.

However, the question that his daughter asked was also very important. How was he going to express his gratitude?

If the gift was not good enough, wouldn’t he be belittling his senior?

Lin Pingzhi fell into deep thought as he casually replied, “The last time, I gave the Demonic Dragon Throne. It’s a little toy from ancient times. It’s mainly for aesthetics and has ornamental properties. It has no other uses.”

“But the Demonic Dragon Throne is a rare item. Our Lin family only has that one.”

Lin Suxin thought for a moment, she asked, “Last time, we gave it as an ornamental. Why don’t we send some fruit this time? Senior Ye planted a jujube tree in front of his door. He might like it. Even if he doesn’t like it, he won’t hate it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have planted that tree.”

Lin Pingzhi’s eyes lit up and he smiled. “You’re the one who can think of a solution. No wonder Senior Ye thinks highly of you. I just happened to be there.”

“I remember that the family bought a dragon flame fruit before. It will increase a mage’s affinity with the fire magic element after consumption. Although this effect is useless on Senior Ye, the dragon flame fruit tastes great and is suitable as a gift.”

“You should go to the storeroom quickly. Don’t spoil the good stuff. Send it to the senior later. It will be served as desserts.”

After hearing this, Lin Suxin also felt that this idea was not bad. She immediately got up and ran to the storeroom.

On the other side, the Great Elder brought many elders of the Lin family to the meeting hall.

“Elder Dark Moon, go to the storeroom and choose the gifts for the Ban family. In the afternoon, you’ll represent our Lin family to express our gratitude. At the same time, ask them about their views on the Abyss lizard. That beast is probably still lurking in the South City. We can’t let our guard down.”

“Elder Dark Wizard, you will go to the Mage Alliance later and tell them that we have already taken care of the matter. However, do not reveal any information about Senior Ye. Those who know will naturally know.”

“Then, Elder Dark Shadow, as an Intelligence Elder, tell us about the information we have gathered. Why was our Lin family attacked by the Abyss lizard? Was it a coincidence or was it done on purpose?”

The two elders, Dark Moon and Dark Wizard nodded slightly and left.

Elder Dark Shadow, whose name was called, stood up and replied, “This matter is also related to the black mage. That Abyss lizard disguised itself as an ordinary lizard and was sent to the family for the juniors to practice. However, the person who sent it was controlled by the black mage.”

“The clan leader happened to pass by that place. He must have sensed something and was ambushed by that lizard, causing both sides to be injured. However, in general, that lizard had the upper hand. Before it left, it even set a fire.”

“It’s very strong, with powers similar to a magister. Its constitution is very powerful, and it carries the aura of the laws of the abyss. We’ve never encountered it before, so we’re at a disadvantage.”

“As for why it chose our Lin family, it seems like it was looking for something. It took action in advance because it was discovered.”

“Oh?” The Great Elder frowned and said, “That shouldn’t be. The laws of the human world and the laws of the Abyss are incompatible. Why would it attract the Abyss lizard to try and sneak in?”

“The magic stones, staffs, and other treasures that belonged to mages are useless against the creatures of the Abyss. What is it looking for?”

Elder Dark Shadow shook his head in confusion and said, “We haven’t found out, so we’re not sure yet.”

At this moment, an elder of the Lin family with white hair beside him said, “I arranged for someone to use a memory extraction spell on the person who gave the lizard. He saw in his memory that the Abyss lizard was holding a black scale.”

“The thing it’s looking for might be related to that thing.”

“Black scale?”

The Great Elder asked, “What exactly does it look like?”

“I can’t see it clearly. I can only see a corner.” The elder of the Lin family shook his head and said.

“It can attract Abyss monsters to come and investigate, and it’s even carrying a black scale?”

Several possibilities flashed through the Great Elder’s mind. Then, he shook his head and ordered, “Take your time to investigate this matter. Don’t expose the information. Let’s kill that Abyss lizard first.”

“Take out the clan protection magic tool to protect the clan. Who knows if there’s more than one lizard.”

“But there’s no need to be too nervous. Even if the Abyss invades on a large scale, there’s still the Divine Realm on top to hold them off. No matter how bad it is, there’s still a reclusive expert like Senior Ye. Perhaps this matter has long been within Senior Ye’s calculations.”

He had some guesses in his heart. Why did Senior Ye stay in South City instead of going to other places?

And the South City had experienced several crises consecutively, so he could not help but think of the same thing.

Perhaps the Abyss was plotting to seize the human world, and the human world was also plotting against the Abyss. Invasion and counter-invasion were two-way, and there was no absolute thing.

He also did not know if the Divine Realm was involved. In the end, the human world was still one level lower than the Divine Realm, so he could only passively wait for those people to make a move..
