Chapter 152 My granddaughter-in-law is very satisfactory!
"Heavens...Heavens! Xiao Xing, are you seeing things? Meng Yanqing has actually used the Return to Sheath technique too!"
In the commentary booth, Bao Xiaoxing's voice suddenly rose, filled with unbelievable excitement: "This is the secret technique of the Lin family of Yuelan! For thousands of years, without exception, all the beast tamers in Yuelan Prefecture who can use this technique have the surname Lin—"
She took a deep breath, almost shouting, "And now, right before our eyes, a contestant who isn't from the Lin family has actually used the 'Return to Sheath' technique!"
These words caused an uproar in the room.
The Lin family of Yuelan, an immortal family renowned throughout the world for its Sheathing Technique that has been passed down for thousands of years, is almost synonymous with Sheathing itself in the world of beast taming. For a thousand years, Sheathing has been the name of the Lin family, and this ingrained understanding has long been a consensus among everyone.
Today, under the watchful eyes of everyone, someone outside the Lin family openly and legitimately used the "Return to Sheath" technique. What does this mean? It means that for the first time, a crack has appeared in the iron curtain that has never been touched by outsiders.
Once you start something once, you'll soon have a second and a third.
Once a crack is broken in the technological monopoly, the subsequent chain reaction will be immeasurable. The profound implications of this are enough to shake the entire city of Lanzhou.
The audience was in complete uproar.
"Holy crap, who is this guy? He's so powerful?! He can even use the 'Sheath Retract' technique?"
"Am I dreaming? Someone who isn't from the Lin family has actually mastered the Return to Sheath technique?!"
"Meng Yanqing? Does anyone know who this Meng Yanqing is?"
"Wait, I just checked on Doubao...it seems she's the granddaughter of Lord Qingming Marquis!"
"Really? The one from the Azure Sea Marquis?"
"Absolutely true, how could the information on Doubao be false?"
"Wow, she really is the granddaughter of Marquis Qingming!!"
"This is too explosive..."
In this information age, it's incredibly easy to dig up someone's background online.
Moreover, Meng Tianxiang never intentionally concealed Meng Yanqing's personal information from the beginning; in fact, she hoped that Meng Yanqing could accumulate her own reputation as soon as possible. After all, she was grooming Meng Yanqing as her successor.
Meng Yanqing herself was not well-known before, and was only known to some people in Lanzhi Academy. Outside of Lanzhi City, not many people knew her.
Now, for the first time in a true sense, Meng Yanqing's name has entered the public eye.
The way they made their entrance was truly earth-shattering.
On the high platform of the Chairman.
At this moment, the expressions of the five men—one duke and four marquises—are all quite fascinating.
Lin Yan's face was ashen, as if he had swallowed a live fly—no, it was as if he had swallowed a whole swarm of flies. A wave of nausea and discomfort surged from the depths of his heart, almost overflowing from his throat.
For an ancient family with a thousand-year-old heritage, nothing in this world is more unacceptable than the loss of their unique skills to outsiders. To put it bluntly, it's tantamount to their very foundation being shaken.
What's more, this person happens to be Meng Tianxiang's granddaughter.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan's mood was extremely bad. An unnamed anger surged in her chest, making her feel terrible.
"Your mother... I fucking... she..."
Lin Yan's lips moved, and after stammering for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a dark face, he turned to Meng Tianxiang and questioned her, "Tianxiang, where did your granddaughter steal the Return to Sheath technique from?!"
Her first thought was this—did Lin Feiyan secretly teach Meng Yanqing?
After all, Meng Yanqing and Lin Feiyan grew up together, and at their best, they even shared a dress. Although reason told her that Lin Feiyan wouldn't do something so outrageous, the facts were undeniable, leaving her no choice but to consider this possibility.
No matter what, she simply couldn't believe that Meng Yanqing could comprehend the Returning to Sheath technique from scratch on her own.
This can no longer be explained by the word "genius".
Even the legendary ancestor of the Lin family who supposedly mastered the Returning to Sheath technique on his own, the truth is quite different. That ancestor obtained this inheritance by chance from an ancient ruin, which led to the Lin family's later glory. That is the real truth.
Such ingenious and divine skills cannot be comprehended by a beast tamer on his own, relying solely on talent and ability.
Not only Lin Yan, but Bao Yunxing, Manzhu and Lei Ying also had this thought almost at the same time.
Meng Yanqing must have learned the art of returning to the sheath from somewhere.
The most likely source is the direct bloodline of the Lin family.
Following this line of reasoning, the answer is almost obvious—the person whose skills were stolen is most likely Lin Feiyan.
After all, Lin Feiyan was the only one in the Lin family of this generation to wield the Returning Sheath technique. And Meng Yanqing was extremely familiar with her.
The adults present were all shrewd and astute; in just a few breaths, they deduced the logical chain clearly.
Faced with Lin Yan's questioning and the questioning looks from her colleagues, Meng Tianxiang naturally knew what they were thinking.
She was secretly delighted and could barely contain her smile, but on the surface she just coughed lightly and said calmly, "Lin Yan, I can't take what you're saying as a joke."
She truly hadn't expected that Xue Youyou would teach her granddaughter the Return to Sheath technique so quickly. It was an incredible surprise, leaving her still feeling quite elated.
Seeing Meng Tianxiang's unhurried and even somewhat leisurely demeanor, Lin Yan became even more furious, and sneered inwardly: What are you pretending for here?
She slammed her hand heavily on the armrest of her seat, making a dull thud as she vented her anger. Then, with a cold laugh, she continued to press, "Who's joking with you! If it wasn't something you secretly learned, did your precious granddaughter figure it out on her own?"
Meng Tianxiang spoke calmly and in a tone as indifferent as if she were simply commenting on the weather: "So what if it is?"
Seeing that she was still pretending, Lin Yan's anger burned even brighter. He disregarded etiquette and went straight to the point: "The friendship between our two families has lasted for a thousand years, and I have worked with you for so long. It's not right for you to instruct a junior to use such despicable means to steal my Lin family's secret techniques!"
These words were extremely explicit, every single one of them brimming with hostility.
Her meaning couldn't be clearer—today, with the Duke and the Four Marquises as witnesses, you, Meng Tianxiang, must give an explanation. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our thousand-year-old relationship.
These words immediately strained the already tense atmosphere between the two, pushing it to the brink of collapse.
Having been so openly accused of such a serious crime, Meng Tianxiang's face naturally darkened.
However, just as Meng Tianxiang raised her eyebrows and seemed ready to fight her to the death, Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately chickened out.
After all, the Meng family faces extreme difficulty in reproduction due to their mixed-race heritage. Each generation is considered lucky to produce even one child, and currently only Meng Tianxiang and Meng Yanqing remain as grandparents and grandchildren. The Lin family, however, is different. It is a large and prosperous family with countless branches and households.
As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. If a real fight breaks out, the Lin family will definitely be the one to suffer.
Moreover, if it really comes to that, Bao Yunxing will definitely not sit idly by.
It is best to prioritize harmony.
Lin Yan, unusually, regained a sliver of reason amidst her rage. Her mind raced, and in a moment she devised what she thought was a brilliant idea—one that would resolve the current conflict while also giving Meng Tianxiang a way out. Her tone softened slightly as she said:
"Alright then, considering we are both marquises, you can marry your granddaughter into my Lin family, and we'll call it even. I won't mistreat your granddaughter either. Since Fei Yan isn't engaged yet, let's pair her up with Fei Yan."
At this point, Lin Yan even felt incredibly clever, and added, "When we have two more kids, I'll give you one."
After saying that, she mentally gave herself a big thumbs up for her cleverness.
Meng Tianxiang was initially a little angry, but after hearing Lin Yan's words, she was completely speechless.
If Lin Yan had made this suggestion a year ago, she might have seriously considered it.
As for now... let's just forget about it.
She is very satisfied with her current granddaughter-in-law!
