Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Host Becomes Guest! Expelling the Sun Family!

Everyone was dumbfounded. Why would a high-ranking Elder of the Pill Tower bow to Lin Xuan?

Clan Leader Sun spoke up, "Brother Chen, what are you doing? Why are you bowing to this boy?"

The City Lord also asked, "Does Lin Xuan have some other, hidden identity?"

Chen Hai announced, "This is the Young Master Lin I was talking about—the top-tier alchemy genius!"

What?

Upon hearing this, Clan Leader Sun froze. The City Lord was stupefied. Everyone else was completely bewildered.

Is Lin Xuan the legendary genius? Could Lin Xuan really be the Young Pill King?

"Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible!" Sun Tian roared. "Elder Chen, you must be mistaken! Even though this boy’s surname is Lin, he can’t possibly be the Young Master Lin you’re referring to! There must be some misunderstanding! Were you deceived by him?"

"Shut up." Chen Hai’s face darkened as he slapped Sun Tian across the face again. "How dare you question the Young Master? Do you have a death wish?" he said coldly. "If you spout any more nonsense, I’ll reduce you to dust."

Sun Tian collapsed to the ground once more, his other cheek now swollen to match. The slaps had left him utterly dazed.

The others drew a sharp, collective breath. Could Lin Xuan truly be the legendary Young Pill King?

"Lin Xuan, what exactly is going on?" Bai Qianqian asked in astonishment.

The Lin Family Grand Elder also asked, "Young Master, what is the situation?"

Lin Xuan remained seated and said with a smile, "I am the Young Pill King you have all been waiting for."

"Young Pill King!" Chen Hai laughed heartily upon hearing this. "That’s an excellent title. Only a title like this is worthy of you, Young Master Lin."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in shock. It turned out Lin Xuan really was the Young Pill King.

The Young Master is this powerful! The Lin Family Grand Elder was overjoyed.

Bai Qianqian was stunned. She realized Lin Xuan hadn’t been lying; everything he had said was true.

Sun Tian despaired, Clan Leader Sun was dumbfounded, the City Lord gasped, and the rest of the crowd was deeply shaken.

"Young Master Lin, this is a gift from the Tower Master," Chen Hai said, retrieving a gift box from his Storage Ring and handing it to Lin Xuan. "He had other matters to attend to and couldn’t come personally. He hopes you will understand."

Gasps of awe rippled through the crowd again. The Tower Master? The Master of the Pill Tower himself, a supreme figure, had to show deference to Lin Xuan? Just how high was Lin Xuan’s status? It seemed the title "Young Pill King" carried far more weight than any of them had ever imagined.

"Young Master Lin, this is a gift from my Zhang Family. Please accept it."

"This is my Wang Family’s gift."

"Young Master Lin, my Li Family has a daughter as beautiful as a flower. If you would not be offended by the offer, allow her to become your handmaiden."

"Young Master Lin, I also have a daughter who could serve as your concubine."

"Young Master Lin, this is a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng I found."

At that moment, the Clan Leaders and elders from all the great families rushed forward. They surrounded Lin Xuan like stars around the moon, each offering their finest gifts. Moments before, they had been high and mighty, but now, they were endlessly flattering him.

Witnessing this, Sun Tian trembled with rage and envy. Clan Leader Sun’s vision went black, and he nearly fainted. The City Lord, standing nearby, quietly took a step away from him. He knew the relationship between Lin Xuan and the Sun Family was hostile. With Lin Xuan’s rise, the Sun Family was finished.

Lin Xuan’s gaze swept across the room, finally settling on Sun Tian and Clan Leader Sun. "Weren’t you just saying you wanted to curry my favor? What gift has the Sun Family prepared for me?"

Every head turned to look at the father and son. Their faces held expressions of pure amusement, as if they were watching a play. A moment ago, Sun Tian and his father had been unbearably arrogant, all because they had supposedly befriended the Young Pill King. But now, the Young Pill King was revealed to be Lin Xuan—the Sun Family’s greatest adversary. The heavens had truly played a cruel joke on them.

Sun Tian fainted dead away from rage. Clan Leader Sun was so furious he spat up a mouthful of blood.

From a distance, Liu Ruyue stared blankly at the scene.

What have I lost? If I hadn’t broken up with Lin Xuan, what would my status be right now? I would be the girlfriend of the Young Pill King. The great families would be vying for my favor, the City Lord would treat me with the utmost respect, and my future would be limitless. In time, I could have become the most prestigious and dazzling woman in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. But now? I’ve lost it all.

"Hmph!" Lin Xuan snorted coldly. "I don’t want to see anyone from the Sun Family. Get them out of my sight!"

Instantly, countless gazes fell upon the members of the Sun Family, the pressure becoming immense.

"Wh-what do you want?" a member of the Sun Family asked in terror.

Clan Leader Li said, "You are not welcome here. Leave."

Clan Leader Wang snorted. "Leave at once, or don’t blame me for being discourteous."

Clan Leader Zhang added, "This is not a place for you. Scram! If you anger the Young Pill King, my Zhang Family will be the first to stand against you!"

The City Lord also stepped forward, his voice booming, "Guards, remove the members of the Sun Family!"

"No! You can’t do this!" The members of the Sun family despaired. They had found this villa, they had hosted this banquet—they were the hosts! Yet now, they were being driven out. It was unacceptable.

SHING! SHING! The surrounding guards rushed forward, gripping their swords and fixing their glares on the Sun family. It was clear that if the Sun Family didn’t leave willingly, they would be thrown out by force.

"Fine, fine, fine!" Clan Leader Sun roared, his furious gaze sweeping over the crowd. Every one of these people had previously stood with his family. Now, they had all betrayed them.

"Just you wait!" he bellowed. "Let’s go!"

The Sun Family left. Sun Tian was carried out, still unconscious. Liu Ruyue also departed, led away by the Liu Family. She moved like a walking corpse, her mind a complete blank.

After the Sun Family was gone, Clan Leader Zhang said, "Young Master Lin, please, take the main seat."

Clan Leader Wang smiled. "Young Master Lin, I must raise a proper toast to you!"

The City Lord beamed. "Young Master Lin, the future of Cloud Sea City rests on your shoulders."

Everyone took their seats.

Lin Xuan raised his glass. "A toast to everyone," he said. "In a few days, I will be leaving to cultivate at the Heavenly Dao Academy. While I am away, I must ask you all to look after and support my Lin Family."

"Rest assured, Young Master Lin. From now on, we will all follow the Lin Family’s lead," Clan Leader Zhang was the first to declare.

"That’s right," Clan Leader Wang echoed, standing up.

The other families quickly agreed, and even the City Lord promised to provide his full support. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Originally, the Lin Family had been just another family in Cloud Sea City, not even ranking in the top five. But now, in a single leap, they had become the number one family in the city—prestigious and supreme.

And it was all because of Lin Xuan.

After the banquet ended, the news spread like a wildfire, sweeping through every corner of Cloud Sea City. Those who hadn’t been qualified to attend the banquet were left dumbfounded when they heard what had transpired.

Lin Xuan was the legendary Young Pill King! It was too incredible to believe.

At that moment, the entire Cloud Sea City was in an uproar. They all knew the Lin Family was destined to rise, and the Sun Family was finished.
