Chapter 85 What Does It Have to Do With Me?
As dawn breaks and the sky brightens, vibrant petals quietly fall to the ground in the gardens and flowerbeds, their fragrance carried by a cool breeze into the woods.

Lin Zhao pinched a petal that had fallen onto his shoulder and asked the old man beside him, "Elder, is there something wrong with our Lin family's flower gardens?"

Lei Yuan Immortal Venerable did not answer, but instead asked Lin Zhao, "I wonder why your Lin family settled here after moving out of the aristocratic area?"

Lin Zhao said, "My father told me that it was Empress Youlan who introduced us, and that's how my marriage to Crown Prince Ning was arranged."

With a wave of his hand, Lei Yuan Immortal Venerable destroyed all the flowers in the flowerbed that were already somewhat withered.

"The Lin family's flower garden is a unique formation; the person who arranged it has a deep mind."

Lin Zhao said, "Formation? I've heard my father mention it. The design of the Lin family's main residence was mainly handled by the Grand Preceptor Youlan."

But the Imperial Preceptor Youlan has no relation to the Lin family.

"May I ask, Elder, what kind of formation is the Lin family's flower garden?"

"The Peony, the King of Flowers, is suppressed in the central flower garden as the core of the formation. The Peony, the Prime Minister of Flowers, is in the east; the Rose, the Queen of Flowers, is in the west; the Plum Blossom, the Queen of Flowers, is in the south; and the Orchid, the National Fragrance, is in the north. This formation is also known as the 'Capturing the Pride of Heaven,' and the person who set it up is targeting you, Zhao Yatou. This formation is related to feng shui. Although there are people in the cultivation world who are fond of feng shui formations, this kind of formation is very difficult to detect. In addition, even if it is detected, ordinary people would not dare to damage the spiritual flowers in this flower garden."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao frowned as he looked at the fallen petals scattered on the ground: "The 'Snatching the Prodigy' formation? Is it a formation from the Heavenly Phoenix Continent?"

"Using flowers to locate a woman is probably a formation from the Ancestral Dragon Continent. This person is likely from the Ancestral Dragon Continent as well." Immortal Venerable Lei Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. "The Ancestral Dragon Continent's constant scheming in my Heavenly Phoenix Continent seems to be not only for the Ancestral Dragon's will, but also for you?"

But why is that?
The inheritance that the Ancestral Dragon Continent received was not of the kind of fortune, and the fortune of the Ancestral Phoenix did not provide any substantial help to the Ancestral Dragon Continent.

Could it be that the Ancestral Dragon Continent has other means to utilize the legacy left behind by other deities?!
If that's the case, it must be reported to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent!

The "Seize the Pride" formation isn't particularly sophisticated.

They are taking advantage of the fact that most people on the Tianhuang Continent don't understand, and those with deep knowledge of feng shui can't detect it if their cultivation level isn't high enough.

However, once a high-level cultivator is detected, this formation is as fragile as paper to Lei Yuan Immortal Venerable.

"To prevent the Lin family from leaving anything behind, it would be best if you burned down the main Lin family residence after you move out."

After dealing with the prodigy, Immortal Venerable Lei Yuan returned to the main force with Lin Zhao and offered advice to the Lin family patriarch.

This place was not originally the ancestral home of the Lin family; they had only lived here for a short period of more than ten years. The Lin family had no emotional attachment to this place, so they immediately agreed.

At this moment, news also came back of the counterattack by the main force of the Lin family.

The messenger brought a Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in the sacred robes of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

The Nascent Soul cultivator groaned upon seeing the three Nascent Soul cultivators standing before him, and under immense pressure, said, "Greetings, Three Immortal Venerables."

"When will Yaochi Holy Land hand over its people?" Han Yan stood up, her eyes blazing.

The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and said, "Elder Lingyao said that Fairy Wangshu must come to invite her in person."

Han Yan raised an eyebrow: "When did your Yaochi Holy Land acquire such audacity?"

How dare they oppose the South China Sea Academy and the Thunder Palace! The Nascent Soul cultivator was so terrified by Han Yan's cold, ambiguous laugh that he immediately knelt on the ground: "This subordinate only brought the elder's words! Please, Immortal Venerable, spare my life!"

Lei Yuan Immortal Venerable said, "Zhao girl, don't go alone, otherwise your mother will really be beyond saving."

The other side went through such a long detour just to force Lin Zhao to show herself. If Lin Zhao really falls into their hands, they will have achieved their goal. Why would they care about Yao Yun's life or death?

Lin Zhao understood this perfectly, and his gaze gradually turned cold: "Tell Immortal Venerable Lingyao and Shen Yuhan that it's impossible for me to go alone. If you can't give my Lin family an explanation today, as long as I, Lin Zhao, live, your Yaochi Holy Land will never have peace!"

Before the Nascent Soul cultivator could react to Lin Zhao's words, the female venerable's gentle yet undeniably cold and arrogant voice came from behind: "Young Master Lin, what a boastful tone!"

The crowd of soldiers automatically parted to make way, and a middle-aged woman in a yellow palace dress appeared at the end of the road.

Lingyao Immortal Venerable looked at the girl standing ramrod straight beside the Lin family patriarch and sighed.

"If I had known that you, this useless phoenix, could develop to this point, I would never have let you leave Cloud Peak Mountain in the first place."

She ultimately felt guilty towards her brother-in-law and sister for their entrustment.

Lin Zhao never expected that Lingyao Immortal Venerable, who had always been kind to her and regarded her as her daughter-in-law, would have such a harsh side.

However, perhaps this is her true nature; the coldness and ruthlessness she had suppressed for certain special purposes have completely rebounded after she lost control of herself.

"If I had known that the Yaochi Holy Land was a group of traitors who colluded with other continents to harm our own, I would never have allowed my mother and father to agree to the marriage between you."

After Lin Zhao finished speaking, Shen Yuhan, who had been standing next to Lingyao Immortal Venerable, couldn't help but sway.

Seeing his reaction, Lingyao Immortal Venerable felt half heartache and half anger: "Yuhan, do you see clearly now? Does this woman have even the slightest feeling for you?"

Shen Yuhan reached out and stopped Lingyao Immortal Venerable from saying anything more.

He raised his hand, and Immortal Venerable Lingyao fell silent.

Others didn't notice and simply assumed that Lingyao Immortal Venerable doted on Shen Yuhan excessively. However, Lin Zhao had been watching the two closely, and from her perspective, she could clearly see that Lingyao Immortal Venerable's gaze towards Shen Yuhan contained not only affection for a junior but also respect for a superior.

Shen Yuhan is only in the first stage of enlightenment at most. In terms of seniority, he is Lingyao Immortal Venerable's nephew. Why would Lingyao Immortal Venerable think that Shen Yuhan is a superior?
Just as she was trying to figure out the reason, Shen Yuhan asked her, "Zhaozhao, on our wedding day, and even before that, I want to tell you that all my actions are beyond my control. Do you believe me?"

"Believe."

This crisp and decisive statement not only stunned Shen Yuhan, but also caused the others to show strange expressions.

Lin Mang looked at his daughter with even more concern: "Zhao Zhao..."

Could it be that his daughter still has some feelings for this guy?!

Amidst the surprised and delighted gazes of everyone, Lin Zhao smiled slightly and replied, "But what does that have to do with me?"

Does having a reason justify trampling on Lin Zhao's face?

On their wedding day, with all the major powers of the Tianhuang Continent in front of them, Shen Yuhan abandoned her and left. Whatever the reason, Lin Zhao had said that such humiliation would be repaid a hundredfold, and so it would be repaid a hundredfold!
