Dual Cultivator Reborn [System In The Cultivation World] Chapter 1005: the Chaos inside the lin clan

"You are also coming with us!" Yohan declared, eyeing Jasmine who stood directly beside Alena.

"You want me to come with you?" Jasmine's youthful face showed deep concern, knowing full well that joining him would only make things worse.

"Don’t think too much!" Spotting her dazed expression, Yohan seized Jasmine’s hand and yanked her toward him, then instantly repeated the action with Alena, catching both off guard.

"Mother, just remain at my side and don’t utter a word no matter what—let me deal with it all myself!" Yohan fixed Alena with a stern gaze. He was utterly sick of the endless crap hurled at him and his family. Despite slaying key figures and defying the Northern region's overlord, he still lacked respect in his own home. Many feared and praised him for his exploits across the north, yet here in his domain, folks viewed him as the same worthless young master from before. Yohan realized this had to change.

"Yohan..." Alena gazed at him worriedly, recognizing the fury blazing in his eyes.

"For years, our clan has been far too soft and merciful to those under Lin clan rule, but what did we receive? Not just disdain from our own people, but scorn from branch families and allies too—no respect, let alone fear. It infuriates me, Mother!" Yohan burst out. Silence fell over everyone—Evelyn, Elsa, Aana, Alena, and Jasmine alike.

"I won’t tolerate those ungrateful fools under my command. I’ll uproot every weed poisoning my perfect garden. No one dares disrespect my mother or my women!" Yohan murmured, staring at Alena and Jasmine. After a brief hush, Alena drew a deep breath and nodded.

"I get it—handle it your way. No more holding back. You’re the ruler and new patriarch of this clan!" Alena replied, grasping his emotions. She saw he differed vastly from past leaders, and she knew the sting of contempt from one's own.

"Now I feel relieved, knowing you’re set to embrace your role as leader. Head out and take charge alone—I’ll remain here with the others!" Alena murmured, softly stroking Yohan’s head. He paused briefly but nodded, aware the outside chaos would be ugly; better she stayed back.

"I think I’ll stay too..." Jasmine started echoing Alena, but Yohan abruptly pulled her into his arms, startling her.

"You’re coming with me, love!" He grinned slyly. Everyone froze in shock at his words. The next instant, he vanished from sight with Jasmine.

"He called her love..." Aana’s expression darkened; she couldn’t believe it, having never heard those words from him for herself. Elsa sighed deeply alongside Evelyn, while Vanya frowned at Aana’s reaction.

"Everything will turn out fine, right?" Alena breathed heavily, dreading the worst.

"He’s doing what’s necessary, Lady Alena. You can’t advance without clearing the rot at home," Evelyn assured, meeting Alena’s eyes. With that, Alena inhaled deeply and nodded.

"You’re correct. I wish his grandfather and father could witness their son and grandson stepping up as the clan’s new patriarch—a fresh era dawning!" Alena remarked, gazing at the stunning sky.

"Exactly—things change starting now!" Evelyn agreed, then continued.

"That’s why I have a request, Lady Alena!" Evelyn faced her directly. Surprise flickered across Alena’s features, drawing interest from Elsa and Aana too.

"No need for such formality, Lady Evelyn. Ask away—if it’s within my ability, I’ll make it happen!" Alena offered.

Evelyn nodded before voicing her wish, leaving Alena stunned once more.

"You wish to remain here for now?" Alena whispered, eyes wide.

"Yes, I’ve chosen to stay by your son’s side. He’ll need all the support to confront what lies ahead!" Evelyn stated firmly.

Alena fell quiet briefly, then nodded in agreement.

"This is your home—stay as long as you like. And thank you for aiding him; I won’t forget this kindness, Lady Evelyn!" Alena bowed slightly, then surveyed the area. The whole courtyard lay in ruins from Yohan’s clash with Aella.

"Much needs rebuilding, but first, I pray all goes smoothly out there!" she murmured lowly, turning toward the Lin clan entrance. Evelyn, Elsa, Aana, and Vanya followed her gaze.

At that moment, a massive throng assembled beyond the twin dragon gate at the Lin clan manor’s entrance. Fury burned in their eyes as they cursed Yohan and demanded the matriarch’s appearance.

The entrance guards trembled with fear and unease amid the horde, clueless on quelling the rage or handling the crowd. They glanced around desperately for the guard they’d dispatched to alert Lady Alena of the uproar at the gate.

"Please calm down, brothers and sisters—we’re all from the same city. Someone from the clan will come soon to hear you out..." One guard pleaded to soothe the mob, but a boot slammed into his face at blinding speed, toppling him.

"Shut up, idiot! We don’t want any clan member—we demand the Lady Matriarch! Bring her now, or we’ll smash this gate!" A grizzled old man bellowed from the crowd, baring his foul yellow teeth with a repulsive sneer.

"Yes... bring her here!"

"Bring the matriarch!"

"Bring the matriarch, or we’ll destroy the gate!"

Chants erupted from the mob, sending guards into panic. The crisis deepened with no clan member emerging.

"We’re doomed... they won’t back down!" One guard muttered. Others swallowed hard, eyeing the thousands poised to storm the entrance.

Just as despair gripped every entrance guard, an astonishing event unfolded. Two silhouettes materialized overhead above the Lin clan manor’s gateway—Yohan and Jasmine had arrived.
