Chapter 263 Happiness Comes So Suddenly

The atmosphere in the house was originally a little tense. However, with Lin Ruyi's jokes, the tense atmosphere was instantly broken and became harmonious.

Lin Zhen slowly put down the jade bowl in his hand, and the jade bowl gently touched the table, making a crisp and pleasant sound. He cleared his throat and coughed twice to indicate that he had something to say. At this moment, his face was serious and solemn, and the solemnity in his eyes made people feel that what he was thinking about must be very important.

"Dad, don't worry, there are still plenty of sweet soup in the kitchen, no one will snatch it from you." Lin Ruyi said playfully, with a teasing smile on her face. Before she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and gently stroked Lin Zhen's chest, the action was natural and intimate. Lin Ruyi's words and actions gradually relaxed Lin Zhen's tense expression, and the seriousness also dissipated a lot, and he lost his temper instantly.

Shen Yun, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this. The sweet soup in his mouth almost spurted out when he laughed. He quickly covered his mouth with his hands, trying his best to hold back his laughter, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

"Girl, you only know how to make fun of your father." Lin Zhen shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. It was obvious that he was not really angry. Instead, he felt a little doting on his daughter's mischief.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Lin Zhen paused for a moment and his expression returned to seriousness.

Lin Zhen sat quietly at the table. The afternoon sun shone through the window onto him, but it failed to dispel the calm aura on him. His fingers tapped the tabletop rhythmically, making a crisp "tap-tap" sound that was particularly clear in this quiet room. His eyes were as deep as a pool, as if they contained endless wisdom and experience. He was now lost in a brief moment of thought.

After a while, Lin Zhen seemed to come back to his senses from his deep thoughts, and his eyes slowly moved to Lin Ruyi who was standing beside him. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, with love, reluctance, and a hint of helplessness, and he secretly sighed in his heart: After all, a girl cannot be kept when she grows up.

After a short pause, Lin Zhen took a deep breath and moved his palm gently, his movements as natural as flowing water. A dark black token magically appeared on his palm. There seemed to be a layer of light flowing on the surface of the token, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, as if it contained some special power, which made people feel awe.

Lin Zhen stared at the token in his hand, exerted a little force on his wrist, and flicked his finger. The token was like a gorgeous stream of light, flying towards Shen Yun at a very fast speed. The token drew a graceful arc in the air, bringing up a slight sound of wind.

"You hand this token over to your father. With this token, you can avoid a lot of trouble in Liuyun City." Lin Zhen's voice was steady and powerful, like a deep bell, echoing in the room.

Shen Yun watched the token flying towards him like a stream of light. He did not dare to be negligent and quickly stretched out his hands to receive it respectfully. As soon as the token was in his hand, a slight coolness came from his palm like a trickle. Shen Yun's heart suddenly surged with gratitude, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Zuo Xiang!

"Hmm? Still calling him the Left Prime Minister?" Lin Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, with a deep look in his eyes. His gaze was like a sharp arrow, shooting straight at Shen Yun, as if reminding him of something.

Shen Yun's head buzzed when he heard this, and he was stunned. His brain was blank for a moment, and he was secretly surprised: Damn, did happiness come so suddenly? With just a few words, he was recognized? All this made him a little unbelievable, and he stood there blankly as if he was cast under a spell.

Lin Ruyi, who was standing by, saw that Shen Yun was still in a daze, and she suddenly felt angry and amused. She hurried forward, pinched Shen Yun's waist lightly, and said angrily, "Idiot, my father is talking to you."

This pinch was like a switch, bringing Shen Yun back to his senses in an instant. He immediately understood what Lin Ruyi meant, a happy smile appeared on his face, he quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed solemnly to Lin Zhen, and said, "Shen Yun greets my father-in-law."

In fact, things were not as Shen Yun thought. Lin Zhen did not recognize him just because of these few words of conversation. From the moment Shen Yun appeared in Lin Ruyi's inn, his every move entered Lin Zhen's sight. Shen Yun's information was quickly recorded, and as his contact with Lin Ruyi became more and more frequent, he naturally attracted Lin Zhen's high attention.

So, at Lin Zhen's command, his men acted quickly, and all the information about Shen Yun was collected in detail. After careful research and analysis, Lin Zhen found that Shen Yun's talent was actually not bad. If he had not encountered the poisonous poison entering his body, his cultivation would definitely be higher than it is now. Of course, even if the influence of the poisonous poison has not been completely eliminated, Shen Yun's cultivation talent is still remarkable, not worse than Lin Ruyi. This is also one of the important reasons why Lin Zhen is willing to further investigate Shen Yun and finally make some decisions.

In Lin Zhen's mind, many considerations are important, but the most important one is undoubtedly the feelings of his daughter Lin Ruyi. After all, for a father, his daughter's happiness is what he cares about most.

"Well, okay, since you call me father-in-law, I naturally can't be stingy." Lin Zhen nodded with satisfaction, a gratified smile on his face.

After saying this, he flipped his palm again, and an ancient book appeared in his hand. The cover of the book was slightly old, and the traces of time left mottled marks on it, but it also exuded a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

"Do you know the difference between the Golden Core Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm?" Lin Zhen looked at Shen Yun with a testing look in his eyes.

Shen Yun calmed down, thought seriously for a moment, and then answered in an orderly manner: "Father-in-law, as far as I know, the foundation-building stage is the initial stage of cultivation, and its focus is on strengthening body functions, condensing spiritual power, and laying a solid foundation for the subsequent cultivation path. The golden elixir stage is a higher level of realm. The cultivator needs to gather and compress his own spiritual power and condense it into a golden elixir. This process requires not only a deep accumulation of spiritual power, but also a deep understanding and perception of the way of cultivation. Compared with the cultivators in the foundation-building stage, the cultivators in the golden elixir stage have significantly improved in terms of spiritual power reserves and strength, and are much stronger."
