Chapter 76: A Direct Bombshell
"What's missing?"
When he heard the reply, Zuo Jianping almost thought he had misheard.
In his eyes, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was one of the top three powers on the continent, with 1 Title Douluo, 8 Spirit Douluos, and more than 2,000 disciples. If the strength of its affiliated forces was also included, its overall power would be even more terrifying.
Yet now, they had come to visit under the banner of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and were directly refused at the gate, told to "go back."
The Breaking Clan only had a single Spirit Douluo. How arrogant did they have to be?
Even if they were dissatisfied with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they should at least show the basic courtesy of meeting and exchanging a few polite words.
Yu Tianlin, however, had already expected this outcome.
In his memories, Yang Wudi was extremely unruly. Being treated like this by him was nothing surprising.
Zuo Jianping did not immediately take back the visiting card. Instead, he took a step to the side, as if realizing he had not introduced properly, and spoke again.
"I did not make things clear earlier, so I will now give you a proper introduction."
As he spoke, he extended his palm toward Yu Tianlin and said solemnly,
"Young Master Tianlin is the grandson of the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and a core member of the direct bloodline."
"Direct line of the clan leader?"
The two burly gatekeepers were both visibly startled. Their gazes fell on Yu Tianlin again, carefully sizing him up, clearly not expecting him to have such a status.
"Greetings, gentlemen."
Yu Tianlin cupped his hands politely to the two and asked, "May I trouble you to report once more?"
"This…"
The burly man who had gone inside earlier showed a troubled expression. Remembering how Yang Wudi had just yelled at him, he hesitated for a moment, then still ended up shaking his head.
"I am truly sorry. The clan leader is very busy right now and really cannot see you."
He knew his own clan leader very well. Once Yang Wudi immersed himself in research, he became ruthless and indifferent. He did not care about clan or kin, let alone visitors. Even if the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan came personally, Yang Wudi might not give him any face, much less the grandson.
Since he knew it would be useless and would only invite scolding, he simply refused directly.
Good grief.
On the surface, Yu Tianlin's expression remained calm, but in his heart he could not help cursing.
He had rushed so happily all the way here to find Yang Wudi, yet the other party would not even meet him, let alone talk about immortal herbs or curing Dugu Yan.
Yu Tianlin frowned slightly and motioned for Zuo Jianping to take back the visiting card.
"Let's go eat first."
During the meal, Yu Tianlin carefully sorted through his thoughts.
First of all, he had to find a way to meet Yang Wudi.
But how?
They could not just force their way into the Breaking Clan's residence. With only 1 Spirit King level guard on his side, barging in would only end with them being beaten and thrown out.
Then there was only one direction left to start from, medicine.
Yang Wudi was obsessed with researching medicinal drugs. In that case…
With this thought, Yu Tianlin's brows gradually relaxed.
After filling his stomach, he once again returned to the Breaking Clan's mansion.
Whether it was when they had been turned away or when they came back again, Zuo Jianping never said a word. He simply followed Yu Tianlin silently, fulfilling his duty as a guard.
Facing the two burly gatekeepers at the door once more, Yu Tianlin cupped his hands and smiled.
"Brothers, I have returned. Please help me report again."
"Uh, why are you back?"
The burly guard who had gone in to report before frowned and shook his head. "You should leave. The clan leader will not see you."
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse," Yu Tianlin said calmly. "Go in and tell Senior Yang Wudi that someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has come to discuss immortal herbs with him. I believe Senior Yang Wudi will definitely agree to see me this time."
That's right. Yu Tianlin had decided to show one of his cards.
He did not believe that Yang Wudi could still sit still after hearing the words "immortal herb."
Even if he had to reveal a bit of information about immortal herbs, Yu Tianlin felt it was acceptable. After all, he was not some lone grassroots Spirit Master. He had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him. As long as he did not provoke Spirit Hall, he was not afraid of anyone.
Yang Wudi still had a clan to worry about. He was not a madman who had nothing to lose.
Giving Yang Wudi an immortal herb in exchange for all of his knowledge about immortal herbs should be a fair trade.
Yu Tianlin had already decided in his heart to offer up the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb. That particular herb had little use to him anyway.
"Immortal herb?"
The burly gatekeeper frowned slightly, clearly not understanding what an immortal herb was. But seeing Yu Tianlin's calm and confident appearance, he still chose to turn around and try one more time.
"Wait here."
He pushed open the door again and hurried back along the corridor toward the quiet room.
Arriving at the door, he hesitated briefly, then spoke in a low voice.
"Clan leader, that person from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has returned."
Boom.
Before he could say more, a muffled explosion suddenly sounded from within the quiet room, as if something had just blown up.
The corridor instantly fell silent.
Cold sweat ran down the burly guard's back.
It's over. The clan leader definitely blew up the furnace again.
After a moment, a suppressed roar came from inside.
"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me? If someone comes to visit, just kick them out!"
"Uh, clan leader, that's not it."
The burly gatekeeper could only brace himself and continue, "That person from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan said he has some immortal herbs to discuss with you and that you will definitely want to see him."
"Immortal herbs?"
Those two words seemed to possess some kind of magical power.
A startled exclamation came from the quiet room. In the next instant, the door was kicked open and a figure rushed out.
It was an old man, tall and lean, his body well proportioned. His complexion was ruddy, his face full of vitality despite his age, and his head was covered in thick black hair. It was clear that his skill with medicine had allowed him to maintain excellent health.
After bursting out of the room, Yang Wudi strode up to the burly gatekeeper, staring at him with burning eyes.
"That person really said the words 'immortal herb'?"
"Yes, clan leader," the burly gatekeeper replied quickly. "The visitor claims to be the direct grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader. He said he has matters regarding immortal herbs that he wishes to discuss with you."
After confirming it again, Yang Wudi was so excited that he rubbed his hands together. Without another glance at the guard, he rushed straight toward the mansion gate.
As soon as he stepped outside, his gaze immediately locked onto Yu Tianlin.
"Boy, are you really Yu Yuanzhen's grandson, and do you truly know about immortal herbs?"
"Junior Yu Tianlin greets Senior Yang Wudi."
Yu Tianlin bowed slightly and said calmly, "It is true. I have some matters regarding immortal herbs that I wish to discuss with Senior."
Hearing this, Yang Wudi's eyes lit up with a sharp brilliance.
"Good, good. Come in and talk."
After speaking, Yang Wudi turned around and walked back into the mansion in large strides.
Yu Tianlin smiled faintly and followed him inside, with Zuo Jianping trailing behind, still a little dazed.
Strange. Just what are these immortal herbs?
Young Master Tianlin had been turned away earlier, yet this time, after merely mentioning them, he had actually lured out a Spirit Douluo like Yang Wudi in person.
Although he was extremely curious, a guard should act like a guard.
Zuo Jianping suppressed his questions and, without saying a word, followed Yu Tianlin into the Breaking Clan's mansion.
