Lin Xuanyu is alive

"..." Lia laughed when she saw Lin Xuanyu's message however she quickly became serious again sent another message.

[Lia: I meant which planet are you in?]

[Lin Xuanyu: Oh. I'm in one of the Satellite planets of Aurora, 0-5B. I'm pretty sure it's in a galaxy to Double Ladder galaxy where Lin Clan's main planet is. ]

[Lia: Then I'm coming over immediately]

Lin Xuanyu was taken back when he saw her message.

[Lin Xuanyu: Huh? Why?]

[Lia: To bring you back to Lin Clan]

Seeing this, Lin Xuanyu fell silent.

Honestly, he was planning on hiding from the Lin Clan.

[Lin Xuanyu: Do I really have to go back? I don't really like this all clan setup going on, I prefer living alone. ]

[Lia: In about 2 hours. They are going to hold your funeral along with Lin Yuan's]

[Li Na: *Shocked emoji*]

[Li Na: But he's alive!!]

[Lia: Yes he is but the Lin Clan doesn't know that]

[Lia: @Lin Xuanyu. I would respect your opinion on not wanting to go, however you should think about the mother and father of the old Lin Xuanyu.]

[Lia: They lost both of their sons in a span of a week. With your death, your mother has stopped completely shut herself down from the outside world and haven't talked to a single person. You don't have to stay. Just let them know that you are alive. That's all I'm asking.]

Thinking about it, it made sense. He at least had to show his face and besides the Lin Clan was going to find out about him when he joins the Trial of the seven hearts academy.

And he needed a backer to join it as well.

He then sighed and he sent a message.

[Lin Xuanyu: Alright. Since they will find out I am alive when I enter the Trial of the seven hearts academy I might as well meet them early.]

[Li Na: Trial of Seven hearts academy? Is it the same academy that Lia is in?]

[Lin Xuanyu: Hm? I guess? That place has pretty important to my world that's why I'm going there]

He wasn't surprised that she was a student of Seven Hearts Academy. After all her master was Diana Ross who is the headmaster of Seven hearts Academy.

[Lia: Important to the world? how?]

Lia frowned. She knew Lin Xuanyu held many secrets like his combat powers, his knowledge about transmigrators and now he also mentioned something about their world.

[Lin Xuanyu: I'll explain later because I also don't fully know the details myself yet]

[Lia: Alright then. Should I go contact the Patriarch of Lin Clan now and what should I tell him?]

[Lin Xuanyu: Just tell him I lost my memory and one of your friends who I am acquainted with also saw me here and contacted you and the rest I'll take care of it myself]

[Li Na: That will work I think]

[Lihua: Considering the suspicion of your death was already on demons it's best if you put the blame on them]

Lihua who was silently watching all this while added.

She also had personal beef with demons in her own world, so why not put blame on demons of another world too?

[Lin Xuanyu: Yeah, that's what I was planning to do]

[Lia: Alright, I'll go ahead and inform him them.]

[Lia is offline]

***

"Lia?" Lin Xin got up. "She's here?"

Immediately, a young girl, around 16 or 17 years old, entered the room. She had long black hair that flowed smoothly down her back and striking deep purple eyes that held a quiet intensity. Her features were delicate and refined, carrying a natural beauty that was hard to overlook.

"You're here," Lin Xin said, his voice calm yet tinged with exhaustion.

The man standing before Lia was a figure of authority and strength, but the weight of recent events had dulled the sharpness of his presence. His face, usually unreadable, carried traces of grief.

The loss of both his sons had shaken the Lin Clan to its core, and even a legendary cultivator like him wasn't immune to the pain.

He gestured for Lia to sit.

"The funeral will begin in three hours," he informed her, his tone heavy.

"Your parents are already with your aunt. You should accompany her for now. Your presence might be able to give her a change of pace."

Lia hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath.

Standing up, she clasped her hands and bowed slightly. "Uncle, I have something important to tell you."

Lin Xin's brows furrowed as he turned his full attention to her.

The weight of her words and her serious expression piqued his interest.

"What is it?" he asked, his voice calm but curious.

Taking a deep breath, Lia steadied herself. "Lin Xuanyu is not dead."

The room fell silent, the words hanging heavily in the air.

Then, Lin Xin's eyes widened like saucers, a flicker of disbelief spreading across his face. "What… did you just say?"

"One of my friends on a satellite planet saw him," Lia continued quickly. "They recognized him and contacted me immediately today. Uncle, I'm certain it's him."

Lin Xin's expression darkened, his emotions swirling between shock and hope. "Are you sure it was him? This is not a matter to speak of lightly, Lia."

"I'm certain," Lia insisted, her tone unwavering. "But… it seems he has lost his memories. When my friend approached him, he didn't recognize her. Uncle, He has met her so many times before. He should have remembered her, but he didn't."

Lin Xin took a step back, his hand gripping the edge of the table for support.

"Lost his memories…" he murmured, his voice trailing off.

The weight of her words began to sink in, and for the first time in days, a flicker of hope appeared in his eyes.

He then looked at Lin Wei who had a serious expression on his face, they both nodded at each other.

"If this is true," Lin Xin said, his voice trembling slightly, "then we must inform his mother immediately. She has to know. That one of her son is still alive."

Lia nodded. "Yes, but we have to act carefully. If the news spreads too quickly, it could cause unnecessary chaos. Let's confirm everything first."

Lin Xin straightened himself, the grief that had previously weighed him down now replaced by a spark of determination. "You're right. I'll personally go there to investigate immediately. But first, I will tell his mother."

As he spoke, Lin Xin's voice grew steadier, his composure returning.

For the first time in what felt like forever, there was a glimmer of hope in the air.

His son was alive!

Lin Xin was overcome with emotion.

"Lia," he called out, looking at her with gratitude, "thank you for bringing this to me. If Xuanyu is truly alive… then the Lin Clan may not have lost its future after all."

Lia bowed slightly, her expression calm. "It's the least I can do, Uncle Lin."

She had done her part.

Now everything is left to Lin Xuanyu.

Lin Xin moved swiftly through the halls, his footsteps echoing with urgency.

The grief that had weighed on him moments ago was now replaced by a newfound determination. Lia followed behind him, her heart racing, unsure of how the news would be received.

Inside the quiet room, Isabella, Lin Xuanyu's mother, sat surrounded by soft candlelight. Her eyes were swollen from crying, her once vibrant demeanor dulled by days of sorrow. Beside her sat Lia's parents, comforting her in hushed voices.

Lia's mother, Mei Ling, looked up when her daughter entered the room. Her expression softened, though sadness still lingered in her eyes.

"You're here, Lia," she said gently, her voice carrying a mix of relief and grief.

Lia nodded and approached her mother. Mei Ling lowered her voice and asked, "Did you hear about Lin Yuan?"

"Yes, Mother," Lia replied quietly. "The guards informed me when I arrived."

Before Mei Ling could say more, Lin Xin strode into the center of the room, his energy commanding attention.

He went straight to his wife, his voice trembling as he spoke. "Isabella, Lin Xuanyu is alive."

Isabella froze. Her tear-streaked face lifted, her red-rimmed eyes locking onto her husband.

"What… did you say?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Lin Xuanyu is alive," Lin Xin repeated, his words firm. "He's alive."

The room fell silent, the weight of his statement sinking in. Mei Ling opened her mouth, about to ask a question, but Lia quickly stepped forward.

"It's true, Mother," she said, her voice steady. "One of my friends saw him on a satellite planet in the Aurora Planetary System. He seemed to have lost his memories, but he's alive. I came straight here to tell you all about it."

Isabella's sobs ceased, her tears halting mid-flow as she stared at Lia, her hands trembling.

"He's alive?" she whispered, as if afraid to believe it.

Lia nodded. "Yes. I trust my friend completely. She wouldn't lie about something this important."

Isabella turned back to Lin Xin, her disbelief mingling with hope. Her voice shook as she clutched his arm. "Dear… please… bring our son home! As soon as possible! I will take care of the funeral for our eldest, If we wait any longer then it might be too late!"

Lin Xin placed his hand over hers, his eyes filled with resolve. "I will. I'll leave immediately to bring him here myself."

"If what you said is true..." Leo said quietly. "If he's alive, nothing will stop us from bringing him back."

Lia quietly witnessed this scene as she opened the group chat and sent a message.

[Lia: @Lin Xuanyu It's done]

[Henry: That was fast]

[Lin Xuanyu: Alright. I'll wait in my apartment. Give them the coordinates]

[Lia: Yes]

[Arthur: Alright. Now that is settled, tell me how did you use Rune Manifestation in front of actual law?]
