"Senior Xu..."
""
Lin Zuibai was stunned when he heard Xu Yun address him. Even the person who had just bent down was gently helped up by the other person so that they looked at each other at eye level.
It instantly transported him back to those days when they were all struggling in Qingyufang City. Although life was tough, their friendship was genuine.
Now that Xu Yun has achieved Foundation Establishment, there is a vast gap between them, but their sincere friendship has never diminished.
"No need to call me senior. In my heart, you will always be my elder brother and my sworn brother."
Xu Yun patted the other person on the shoulder and looked at the two people behind him. With his eyesight, he immediately recognized the two people.
A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly, "It's been many years, Chi Ru and Tan Yu have grown up a lot."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tanyu and Lin Chiru exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy and excitement in each other's eyes.
This Uncle Xu has achieved Foundation Establishment, but his attitude and feeling are still the same as they were back then, without any change.
"This...how can you do this? You're a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this is really beneath your dignity. I should..."
""
Lin Zuibai was deeply moved by the other party's sincere words, but he was always clear-headed and knew that he was unworthy of his position.
Just as he was about to say something, a gentle voice suddenly rang out from beside Xu Yun.
"Brother Lin, I said the same thing to Brother Xu before, but I was still rejected in the end. You shouldn't keep bothering him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zuibai immediately looked over and saw Wen Lingyu also walking out, with a helpless expression on her face.
"Wen-mei... well... then let's call her that in private, so as not to cause you any trouble, Brother Xu."
After hearing Wen Lingyu's advice, Lin Zuibai hesitated for a moment, but still reluctantly accepted the fact.
Upon hearing this, Wen Lingyu glanced at Xu Yun with amusement, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "What did I tell you? Brother Lin would definitely think the same way I do."
"Hehe, everyone, please count me in first. It's been a long time since we friends have gotten together."
Xu Yun shook his head and chuckled, then immediately led everyone to his cave to reminisce.
Lin Zuibai was initially a little apprehensive, after all, unlike Wen Lingyu, he hadn't seen Xu Yunlin for a long time.
But as they talked, Lin Zuibai gradually realized that Xu Yun was still the same as before, becoming more and more relaxed once he started talking.
"It's getting late, so I'll take these two children and leave now. See you at the Foundation Establishment Ceremony."
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zuibai finally had his fill of fun and slowly rose to give a solemn bow.
The same applies to his two sons.
"Alright, I hope you all have a great time at the Foundation Establishment Ceremony."

Xu Yun smiled slightly and personally escorted Lin Zuibai and the others away from this place, making the three of them feel extremely honored and excited.
On the way, Lin Tanyu was all smiles, skipping and hopping, "That's great, Uncle Xu is still the same as before, without any change."
During their previous conversation, Lin Tanyu could clearly see that Xu Yun did not put on any airs of being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but treated them like a kind elder.
This made Lin Tanyu very happy, after all, both Mo Fengcheng and Xu Yun were precious memories in her heart.
Especially after experiencing all sorts of things at Biyun Mountain, that memory remained untouched by the dust of time, making it all the more precious.
"Tanyu, Chiru, your Uncle Xu is a good man, but you absolutely mustn't trouble him for this, understand?"
Just then, Lin Zuibai turned around solemnly, staring intently at the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator with an extremely high status. Unless you encounter a life-or-death situation that you have no choice but to avoid causing him trouble, do you all understand?"
Lin Zuibai said this not only because he genuinely thought so, but more importantly because he was worried that his two children would really rely on Xu Yun as a support in the future.
After all, having a Foundation Establishment cultivator as a backer is far too tempting, especially since Xu Yun treated the two children the same as always, without displaying the authority that a Foundation Establishment cultivator should have.
This was certainly due to Xu Yunliang's sentimentality and desire to save face for himself, but Lin Zuibai could not ignore the risks involved.
Moreover, back when Xu Yun's invitation was sent to Biyun Mountain, many clansmen suggested that they should submit to Xu Yun, and he severely reprimanded them for it.
Lin Zuibai will eventually abdicate and hand over the power of the clan to the next generation, so it is necessary to explain the pros and cons to them in advance to avoid making the wrong choice.
This would not only cause trouble for Xu Yun, but also create a rift in their relationship, something Lin Zuibai absolutely did not want to happen.
"Yes, Father."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Chiru and Lin Tanyu exchanged a glance, and then immediately agreed respectfully.
Upon seeing this, Lin Zuibai nodded slightly and led them to a celestial sect inn to await the start of the Foundation Establishment Ceremony.
Meanwhile, in the Purple Jade Mountain Forest.
The Zhao family's territory.
Inside a cave.
"Damn it, how could this happen!?"
With a loud crack, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes smashed an exquisite ceramic piece on the ground with a gloomy face and deep resentment. He was panting heavily, and a hint of panic was in his eyes.
This man had a rugged face and an extraordinary demeanor; he was none other than Shi Han, who had betrayed Xu Yun and the others and was taken in as a son-in-law by the Ziyu Zhao family.
Since he and his wife Zhao Yunxuan were promoted to the Purple Jade Zhao family territory, Shi Han's life has been getting better and better. Not only has his status risen, but he has also obtained more cultivation resources than before.
His cultivation has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, while his wife, Zhao Yunxuan, has broken through to the perfection of Qi Refining, and their status in the Ziyu Zhao family is getting higher and higher.
Thanks to this, Shi Han benefited from his wife's influence and gained a cultivation environment that was previously unimaginable.
He originally thought that such days could continue indefinitely, or even get better.
Until a sudden message reached the Zhao family of Ziyu, Shi Han was shocked and speechless, unable to believe it.
That was his sworn friend, Xu Yun, who had always been suppressed by the Ziyu Zhao family, who had actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
"How could this be? How could this happen? Why Xu Yun of all people?!"
Shi Han was trembling all over, and even swayed a little. He almost fell after taking only a few steps, but fortunately he managed to brace himself against the table in time.
This was unimaginable for a cultivator, yet it actually happened to Shi Han.
But he didn't care about any of that; all his thoughts were focused on Xu Yun.
"Given his talent and the resources he possesses, how could he possibly break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
It should be noted that Xu Yun's cultivation talent was not very high; he had a mixed spiritual root. Even his cultivation environment was not good, and he even suffered suppression from the Ziyu Zhao family.
Under these circumstances, it's simply outrageous that Xu Yun was able to successfully establish his foundation.
