I was terrified! Raising a colossal star beast in the Beast Taming World

Chapter 284 The Lin Sisters

Manro's visit was just a minor incident.

After doing her good deed, Xue Youyou flew back to Lanzhi Courtyard. Following the source of the noise, she discovered that everyone was gathered in Meng Yanqing's room.

Xue Youyou was about to push the door open when she suddenly heard a long-lost voice. She stopped pushing the door open and chose to stand quietly outside the door and listen.

"I, Lin Feiyan, solemnly swear to everyone that my grandmother, Lin Yan, is a grave sinner, the true culprit behind the destruction of your hometown, and a sinner for all time in Yue Lanzhou. The law is merciless. Although she is my own grandmother, I, Lin Feiyan, swear today that I will never forgive her, and if given the chance, I will personally carry out this act of righteous vengeance!"

These words were resounding and powerful. Even though Xue Youyou couldn't see Lin Feiyan's expression through the door, she could easily imagine that she must be looking righteous, aloof, and inviolable.

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of applause and cheers erupted in the room.

"As expected of Lady Yan Ji, she is indeed very righteous!" This clear and straightforward voice undoubtedly belonged to Ning Xiaoman.

"Since Lady Yan Ji has put it this way, it would seem petty of me to harbor any prejudice or resentment if I were to do so." This gentle, tea-scented tone naturally belonged to Su Wanrou.

Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou raised her hand, coughed lightly, and pushed open the door to enter.

Her gaze swept quickly around the room, and she saw that Lin Feiyan and Lin Jinlan were being protected by Meng Yanqing, while the others were standing on the opposite side.

With just one glance, Xue Youyou understood the situation before her—the Lin sisters had come to visit, but because Lin Yan was identified as the mastermind by that Hero King girl, the two sisters also suffered the same hostility and cold treatment as Manluo.

However, Meng Yanqing's willingness to step forward to protect Lin Feiyan and Lin Jinlan under these circumstances demonstrates the deep bond between them.

From this perspective, among the descendants of the Four Marquises, Lei Ying and Manluo have a close relationship, and Meng Yanqing is also very close to the Lin sisters. Xue Youyou suddenly had a clearer understanding in her mind.

Upon seeing Xue Youyou's return, the chatter of the crowd abruptly ceased.

The next second, Lin Feiyan immediately stepped forward, looking at Xue Youyou with a tense expression, and solemnly said, "You... Youyou! I am very sorry that my grandmother committed an unforgivable crime, causing your hometown to be destroyed. I, Lin Feiyan, swear—"

Seeing that Lin Feiyan was about to start all over again, Xue Youyou quickly interrupted, "Stop, stop... I heard it outside the door."

Seeing the perfunctory tone in Xue Youyou's voice, Lin Feiyan's heart sank. He assumed that Xue Youyou hated him because of the destruction of her hometown, and said even more urgently, "Lady Youyou, please allow me to solemnly swear to you again that if I ever see my grandmother again, I will personally bring her to justice to prove my innocence!"

Xue Youyou was forced to listen to the same vows again, and her expression was almost on the verge of breaking down.

But she knew in her heart that the more serious the situation, the more she needed to remain calm, because everyone regarded this as an extremely serious matter, so she at least had to pretend to cooperate.

But she couldn't help but wonder: they were all blood relatives, and Manluo was clearly not affected in the slightest by the Hero King's words, so why did Lin Feiyan seem to have been completely brainwashed? Was it because the bond between Lin Feiyan and her grandmother Lin Yan was not deep enough, or was it because she was not an ultimate beast tamer?

Xue Youyou silently pondered in her heart.

Of course, no one could answer her at that moment.

Perhaps the truth is not complicated; it's just that the grandfather and grandson are indeed estranged and their relationship is lukewarm.

With so many people around, and everyone there a victim of the same scheme, it wasn't the right time to tell Lin Feiyan the truth. Xue Youyou planned to wait until she was alone to reveal everything to Lin Feiyan.

So, she continued gently, "Then I forgive you, Fei Yan."

Lin Feiyan's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, her voice trembling slightly with joy: "Really...?"

"Yes, it's true, Scarlet Flame."

To put Lin Feiyan at ease, Xue Youyou stepped forward in front of everyone and gently patted her head.

This scene left many people around staring in astonishment.

Lin Feiyan herself felt as if her entire soul had been purified in that instant.

Even if everyone misunderstands her, as long as Xue Youyou can understand her, she feels that even if she dies in battle right now, she will have no regrets. Only today does she know what it means to "die without regrets," and this is Lin Feiyan's most genuine feeling at this moment.

A day apart feels like three autumns. Lin Feiyan, who thought the misunderstanding had been cleared up, suddenly became lively again. Her eyes sparkled, and her voice became sweet: "Lord Youyou, it's been a long time. You are still as charming as ever~"

Their mentor-student and friend-like relationship deepened Lin Feiyan's feelings for Xue Youyou.

Looking into the girl's adoring, trusting, and pure eyes, Xue Youyou blushed slightly, a hint of shame rising in her heart. She silently lowered her hand and softly replied, "Yes, it's been two days. Did you come here for the Imperial Festival?"

Lin Feiyan smiled and said, "Indeed, nothing escapes Lord Youyou's discerning eyes!"

As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Lin Jinlan to her side, adding, "It's not just me, my younger sister was also chosen for the Imperial Sacrifice."

Upon hearing the sound, Xue Youyou looked at Lin Jinlan. Feeling Xue Youyou's gaze, the usually enthusiastic and outgoing Lin Jinlan surprisingly turned his head slightly away, somewhat unable to meet her eyes.

For Lin Jinlan, every time he sees Xue Youyou, he can't help but think of that virtual battle from back then.

Back then, the white-haired girl in front of me, who used snowflakes as blades and personally defeated me, has now become the new champion of the Moon Orchid League.

Whenever Lin Jinlan recalls this incident, she feels disoriented, as if it were a fleeting dream, vaguely unreal.

Lin Jinlan couldn't quite explain her feelings about the person her sister admired so much.

But she actually had her own little scheme in mind—if her sister could really win over Xue Youyou in the future, then she would be Xue Youyou's sister-in-law, which sounded... pretty good!

Therefore, she wholeheartedly supported the marriage.
