Danxia Sect in Zhongzhou.
The Danxia Sect is the most famous sect in Zhongzhou. Their city, Tianxian City, is currently having a once-in-a-century celebration. Just like the centennial celebration in Yunzhong City, the big cities in Zhongzhou also hold various celebrations to attract people and increase trade.
Lin Jiang followed the crowd and saw the prosperous era in Tianxian City. Only then did he realize how desolate North State was. The population of just one city here already exceeded all the cultivators in North State.
Finding Lin Die was not difficult because Lin Jiang had a locator given by Lin Batian. This locator was based on the Soul Lamp and had a certain time limit. Only close relatives would give such a device.
"Sister"
Small Shadiao was the first to see Big Shadiao. His face immediately showed bitterness and he avoided eye contact. He was truly afraid of his sister.
"Brother"
Big Shadiao noticed Small Shadiao’s reaction and came running over to give him a rough rub. Small Shadiao immediately sent Lin Jiang a pleading look for help.
Lin Jiang ignored him. If he needed to be dealt with, he would be. Lin Jiang then saluted and continued forward.
"Auntie Three, Auntie Ten"
"Why are you here?"
"I’ve been sent by our leader to persuade you to go back."
"I won’t go back."
"I won’t go back either."
"Don’t be like this, I have received benefits."
Lin Jiang blurted out, and the two women immediately stared at him. Was this matter very honorable?
"Really, in exchange for a favor, the head of the family is willing to pass on the secret technique to me and persuade you to go back."
"So, they’re selling us?"
"Well, it’s not really selling. Fathers and daughters shouldn’t hold grudges overnight, right?"
"We can go back, but ask him to drive that woman away."
Lin Ying said. I don’t like Xiao Lingyue. With her around, Lin Batian can only choose one of us.
"Tenth Auntie, you’re in the wrong with this. Although I don’t like Xiao Lingyue either, the head of the family has already accepted her. She hasn’t done anything wrong, so we can’t just drive her away for no reason."
"Whose side are you on?"
"Of course, I’m on your side. We just have to respect the facts. This matter has already been settled. Xiao Lingyue has the Soul Changing technique, which is helpful to the Lin family. The head of the family can’t just drive her away because of a few words. So, we need to change our strategy. If you all leave, it would mean leaving the Lin family under Xiao Lingyue’s control, right? This is helping Xiao Lingyue."
"Even if you describe it as if it’s beautiful, I won’t go back."
Lin Ying sneered, could casual words really change her mind and thoughts?
"Actually, what Lin Wu said is right. By leaving, we are helping Xiao Lingyue. We should go back."
"Has Third Auntie come to her senses?"
"Yes, but we won’t go back now. Our skills are not enough. We can’t defeat Xiao Lingyue. We need to break through Soul Changing first. When we do, we can shut Xiao Lingyue up. The most important thing for a cultivator is strength."
"Third Sister is right. Don’t waste your words, little traitor. Third Sister has been so good to you."
"Alright, then I will accept it, and repay you ten times over in the future."
"Don’t be so formal."
"Third Sister, I need to go and prepare for the auction."
"Go ahead."
Lin Die nodded and Lin Ying quickly left. Before, she was worried about what to sell, but now Lin Jiang has solved her urgent problem.
"How has Xiaotian City been while I was away?"
"Not good..."
Lin Jiang explained everything that had happened in the past two years. Blood Demon Ancestor and Killing Demon Su Chang caused great damage to North State. Xiaotian City’s income decreased significantly. Lin Batian made a foolish move by letting Lin Chaosheng and the others decide the fate of the infant treasure, which created hidden dangers for Xiaotian City.
"Father is really confused. How can he let Lin Chaosheng and the others decide this kind of thing?"
"I don’t know either. Maybe it’s to prevent Lin Chaosheng and the others from resenting the head of the family. After all, resources are limited and it wouldn’t be good for anyone."
"Resources are always insufficient. We must make choices. As long as the rules are set, we just have to follow them."
"Third Auntie is right. That’s why we need you to go back and oversee the overall situation. The head of the family is responsible for conquering the world, but he may not be as skilled in management."
Lin Jiang nodded. Lin Batian is very skilled in battle, no doubt about that. But when it comes to management, he’s just average. Perhaps that’s just how things are – everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. No one is perfect.
"Wait until Lin Ying has finished making the Seven Star Sky Awakening Pill, then we will both go into seclusion together."
"Have you found a place for seclusion? Advancing to Soul Changing requires a high-quality environment."
"In Tianxian City, there are top-level caves for rent, but the prices are very expensive. It costs hundreds of thousands of spirit stones per year. To break through Soul Changing, we need to rent for at least ten years, as well as some auxiliary elixirs and necessary items. Without millions of spirit stones, it won’t be enough."
"No more money?"
"In these years, Lin Ying and I have been constantly on the move, almost using up all our savings."
Lin Die said. I’m alright. It’s just been a few years since I left home, but Lin Ying has been away for many years. He hasn’t returned to the Lin family nor taken any money from them. He’s truly become a poor ghost.
"Little Shadiao, come here. Big Shadiao, stop hitting him."
Lin Jiang beckoned to Little Shadiao, who happily trotted over. If he didn’t run, his big sister would surely beat him to death.
"Father, you finally saved me."
"Don’t make a fuss, I know you have a piggy bank, spit it out."
"Ah."
"Don’t force me to take action, just hand it over yourself."
"Sister, you better just hit me."
Small Shadiao specifically wanted to run, he would rather be beaten by his older sister again than go bankrupt. He doesn’t want to be a poor guy.
