### Chapter Thirty-Four: Hidden Main Character Makes Her Grand Entrance
The Xuantian Sect is famous across the Eastern Continent. If even one person from your family can become an Outer Gate Disciple of the sect, it’s considered a godsend for the entire clan. From then on, the family’s fortunes will surely rise.
Therefore, if someone from his line could join the Xuantian Sect, it would definitely put a big dent in the current Clan Leader’s authority.
Thankfully, after years of his hard work, his son Lin Feng finally reached Foundation Establishment Fifth Level at the ripe age of twenty. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to grab a spot in the sect this time.
That means he’d become the new Clan Leader!
The High Elder had long lusted after the Clan Leader title.
“The current Clan Leader is inept, relying entirely on Mu Jixue to save face. But she’s just a non-family member. The Lin family can’t depend on an outsider to bolster their standing. The fate of the Lin family must be in Lin family hands!”
Smirking, the High Elder said as though he already had victory in his grasp.
Even if that girl were to beg the Yun family for help now, it’s far too late. How could years of lost cultivation possibly be made up in just a few days?
Besides, who didn’t know what kind of chump Yun Zhonghe was? There was no way he’d genuinely care for Lin Zhongyu. It was all just a transaction.
Lin Zhongyu wasn’t worth enough to make the Yun family shell out so much.
To the Elder, the growing closeness between Yun Zhonghe and Lin Zhongyu was no cause for concern.
“Father, while I agree, we should still prepare for any eventuality.”
Humbly, Lin Feng said. He had a plan in mind and quietly shared it with the High Elder.
The High Elder was overjoyed when he heard this!
“Hahaha! Yes, yes! My son is truly wise. With this idea, Lin Zhan is sure to trip and fall flat on his face!”
The High Elder grinned like a kid in a candy store, looking at Lin Feng with pride.
He felt Lin Feng was reaching new heights.
He clearly regarded Lin Feng as having emperor-like potential.
Thus, the High Elder had nothing to worry about regarding power.
“Go on, get it done. This time, we mustn’t give that father-daughter duo any chance to rise again.”
“Yes, father!”
…
Several days passed without incident.
Yun Zhonghe had finished all his preparations and had reached a certain stage with Huáng Àotiān and the main character. Realizing he shouldn’t rush things, he decided to bide his time by practicing his swordsmanship every day.
He had mastered the Eight Desolate Sword Technique and the Nine Heaven Inquiries Sword Technique to perfection, satisfying all requirements for combining them. However, he needed much more practice to perfect it.
But Yun Zhonghe didn’t fret. Life was too short to stress over trivial matters. When tired, he would study the Infinite Sword Technique he obtained from the black stone.
Life in the Yun mansion couldn’t be sweeter, and his parents were thrilled at the news of Yun Zhonghe’s progress. They celebrated by having a night-long bonding session.
As for the details… we’ll skip those…
Compared to Yun Zhonghe’s relaxed lifestyle, Lin Zhongyu was working herself to the bone.
She was trying every possible method to boost her cultivation. All the elite nourishing pills Yun Zhonghe gave her had already been refined—along with the large collection he shared with Mu Jixue—most of which she had consumed.
With the help of the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes, her cultivation rocketed forward at an astonishing pace.
Her only thought was: don’t let Yun Zhonghe down, don’t let Mu Jixue down. This time, she would succeed!
While Yun Zhonghe practiced his sword techniques, Lin Zhongyu sprinted toward higher cultivation levels. Mu Jixue, however, was sleeping soundly.
And because she was getting along well with Lin Zhongyu, she slept like a baby.
Time flew by, and soon enough, it was time for the Xuantian Sect disciples’ admission ceremony—
On this day, every major family leader gathered at the city magistrate’s residence, with each bringing fresh faces into their ranks, some hoping to compete while others came to witness the proceedings and gain experience.
Yun Zhonghe and Lin Zhongyu joined their respective families, as did Mu Jixue, proudly taking her place at center stage. After all, she was the designated disciple by the Xuantian Sect. Upon seeing her, the sect elders present today were there mainly to bring Mu Jixue back with them.
The city’s hall was packed with people in serious moods since only three people would end up joining the Xuantian Sect.
Lin Zhongyu took a deep breath, standing in the Lin family ranks. She felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. She was fully prepared and confident.
“Phew, looks like Lin Zhongyu actually showed up…”
“Heh, she’s the Clan Leader’s daughter. If not for her status, she wouldn’t have a leg to stand here.”
“But they say she already regained her talent, right?”
“So what? Even after regaining it, she got creamed at the Immortal Alliance. Does she really think she can catch up in just a few days?”
Sure enough, the Lin Clan members were openly mocking Lin Zhongyu with disdain.
Unmoved, Lin Zhongyu stood resolutely, merely staring ahead.
Just then, her gaze met Mu Jixue’s, standing atop the stage. They silently communicated their encouragement.
“(Come on, Xiaoyu, I believe you can do it!)”
“(Xue’er, I won’t disappoint you this time!)”
They exchanged supportive glances, while Yun Zhonghe secretly watched Lin Zhongyu.
Seeing her unwavering spirit, he felt confident about her success.
“Oddly enough, the game never had a scene where Lin Zhongyu participated in the selection ceremony. Because in the game, her ascension of the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes happened later, leaving her unable to participate.”
Yun Zhonghe muttered to himself, wondering how this unique scenario in the real world would play out.
But whatever happens, he knew it would be a spectacle. He’d do everything in his power to make the main character shine once again.
All eyes were on them, from city officials to representatives from the Immortal Alliance. Even the Li Zongshu from the Xuantian Sect branch had come to await the arrival of the elders.
With only fifteen minutes left in the appointed time, someone noticed a celestial beauty slowly descending from the sky in a plain white dress.
Stunningly beautiful, gracefully moving, her skin whiter than snow, resembling a living painting. Truly a masterpiece of creation.
Teenagers and young women held their breath in awe.
Even Yun Zhonghe, watching from afar, murmured, “Wow, what a beauty.”
As expected, she looked even more stunning than the game’s character design.
