Zhongzhou, the Shenmu Sect

When the Shenmu Sect’s Tao Achieving Ancestor came to find the Shenmu Ancestor again, Lin Batian knew he had to leave. He felt a bit guilty, after all, he had stolen someone else’s daughter-in-law from the Shenmu Sect. It was like slapping someone’s face.

Having slapped someone’s face and seeking refuge on someone else’s territory, even Lin Batian felt a little embarrassed.

"Elders, there’s no need to say more. I know what you’re going to say. I will leave."

"Taoist Friend Lin, matters of mutual affection should not be discussed much, but your actions have indeed caused great embarrassment to our Shenmu Sect. We have become a laughingstock in the cultivation world."

"So I will leave. I will never bother you again in the future."

"Very well, you may leave. We will not trouble you anymore."

The Shenmu Sect’s Tao Achieving cultivator said, if it were an ordinary person, there would be no way to simply leave like this. They would definitely face severe consequences. But he truly didn’t want to get involved in Lin Batian and the Qing State’s affairs, as it would be too troublesome.

"Don’t come empty-handed, bring something nice."

"Haha, I’ll leave you a companion."

"Okay, you can go now."

Lin Batian laughed loudly and activated the Spatiotemporal Mirror, disappearing from sight.

"The Spatiotemporal Mirror of the Green Emperor is truly powerful."

The Tao Achieving cultivator from Shenmu Sect couldn’t help but sigh. It’s difficult to find such amazing treasures in the cultivation world nowadays. They’re all gone, which is quite enviable.

"If you wish, you can also leave."

"Ancestor, I…"

"Go away, don’t bother me. I want to go play with little Chengzi."

Shenmu Ancestor rolled his eyes and left Lin Batian with Li Yuncheng. This little guy is interesting. He can have a conversation. In the cultivation world these days, everyone is so young that they can’t connect unless they are over a hundred thousand years old. There’s a generation gap, you know.

········

"Lin Chaosheng, where are your Third Ancestor and Tenth Ancestor?"

Lin Batian left Shenmu Sect and arrived at the new residence of the Lin family. The Lin family is very smart in finding new places to settle down. They plan ahead for many years, so they are rarely found quickly. It takes them a long time to be exposed.

Lin Batian returned here and, as usual, Lin Die would be waiting for him, but this time she wasn’t there.

"Master, Tenth Ancestor hasn’t come back for many years. Third Ancestor came back a few days ago, but didn’t see the master and left again."

"Where did they go?"

"I don’t know, but it seems Third Ancestor is very angry."

"Angry, why is she angry?"

"I don’t know."

"Send her a message, ask her to come back immediately."

Lin Batian didn’t understand, but he didn’t care either, so he walked straight ahead.

Lin Batian saw Xiao Lingyue in the courtyard. Xiao Lingyue had been secluded for several years, breaking through the Soul Changing in the Ancient Phoenix Secret Realm and escaping from the Spiritual Moon Sect. That’s why she didn’t know any techniques after Soul Changing.

But since Lin Batian appeared on the list, she didn’t have to worry anymore. Lin Batian had many valuable things, and he taught her advanced techniques that were even better than those of the Spiritual Moon Sect. Xiao Lingyue even wanted to change her current techniques because Lin Batian had something even more advanced.

"Lin Lang, you’re back!"

"I’m back, and this time, I won’t leave."

"Really?"

"More real than anything, Yue’er is practicing again."

"If you have nothing to do, why not practice?"

"Practicing is great. Come, let’s practice together."

"No, no, no. It’s daytime."

"It’s okay, I’ll go set up the restriction. It will be dark soon."

Lin Batian felt a bit thirsty. Now, he is really enjoying it. Since he discovered the benefits of having a Pure Yin Body, he doesn’t quite like the slow progress of cultivation anymore. It’s not as fast as this.

Four hours later, Lin Batian and Xiao Lingyue were both meditating to refine the spiritual power within their bodies. Their cultivation method was extremely powerful. When their spiritual power circulated in each other’s bodies, it would increase by one point. In four hours, they achieved more than what normal cultivation would take half a month to achieve.

This wasn’t their first time, and that time, Lin Batian’s cultivation soared.

When Lin Batian finished refining his spiritual power and stood up to leave, Lin Die had already returned. Seeing Lin Batian’s appearance, her face instantly turned unpleasant.

"Ahem, I’m going to freshen up."

Lin Batian felt a little embarrassed and quickly slipped away, only returning after washing up.

"Brother San, how are things at home arranged?"

"I don’t know."

"How could you not know? Weren’t you the one arranging everything?"

"Since we have a stepmother now, let’s leave everything to her in the future."

"What are you talking about, Lin Die? What’s gotten into you?"

"I’m tired, I don’t want to deal with anything anymore. I’m planning to find a place to spend the rest of my days."

"Nonsense, Brother San! Whoever made you upset, I’ll take care of them!"

"Besides you, who else can make me angry?"

"I…"

Lin Batian was shocked. When did he offend his beloved daughter? He couldn’t possibly leave her, right?

"Brother Three, uh, can’t Dad immediately change if you tell him where he went wrong?"

"You’re not wrong. You are the head of the family. How could you be wrong?"

"Oh, Brother Three, Dad really made a mistake. Please tell Dad where he went wrong, he will definitely change."

"Lin Ying has been away from home for so many years. Aren’t you worried at all?"

"I am worried, I have apologized, I have tried to convince her, but nothing worked."

"Then let’s drive away that woman."

"What nonsense is this? Is your father the type of person who doesn’t recognize others when he’s wearing pants? As long as Xiao Lingyue hasn’t done anything wrong to me, or to the Lin family, I won’t kick her out."

"Choose between the daughter and the woman."

Lin Die’s hands were thrown up in the air. She was very angry right now because that woman had caused a lot of trouble for the Lin family. The company in Shenmu City was doing well, and they had settled so many children from the Lin family, but now it was ruined, and she was still protecting that woman.

"Lin Die, these are two separate matters. Don’t confuse them."

"Suit yourself, I don’t want to do it anymore. You can take your time seeking revenge."

"Lin Die, don’t go too far."

Lin Batian suddenly got furious, speaking through gritted teeth. Lin Die had never spoken to him like this before.

"Am I going too far? How am I going too far?"

"Lin Die, you’re deliberately looking for trouble, aren’t you?"

I nitpick all the time, and you have the nerve to accuse me of nitpicking. Over the past few hundred years, how many family matters have you taken care of? Isn’t it all me taking care of them?

For the past few decades, you’ve been hiding in the Shenmu Sect. How much do you know about what’s happening at home? Do you know how many clan members died in the attack on the Qing State?

Do you know how many clan members are waiting for rewards and assistance now? Without real benefits to sustain their morale, how many still consider you their clan leader?

Do you think it’s enough that you’re their ancestor? Aren’t there already people in the cultivation world who have abandoned their ancestors? Tell me.

Do you even know how much effort Lin Wu put into Shenmu City? How many Lin family children he settled there? Just because of that woman, the business can’t operate anymore. Tell me, what should we do next? How can we replace that income? How can we provide for those hundreds of people and help them find a way to make a living and earn resources? Come on, say something!

Lin Die also grew angry and shouted at Lin Batian. She has been taking care of the Lin family for all these years. She has to take care of the basic needs of thousands of people, and she has to find ways for their future. Isn’t she tired? And Lin Batian, he’s just holding her back. Shouldn’t she be angry?

Lin Batian was left speechless by the questions. For a moment, he couldn’t even find the right words. Over the years, he had indeed become lax and lacked concern for the family.

"Why aren’t you saying anything? Then I’ll leave."

"Third brother, I…"

"Hmph."

Lin Die snorted and walked away. Lin Batian reached out his hand but didn’t know how to comfort her. If she was his wife, he could try to coax her, but his daughter… well, he didn’t have experience in that area.

"Lin Lang" (a term of endearment in Chinese, similar to "darling" or "my love")

At this moment, Xiao Lingyue also came out. She heard the argument clearly.

"Yue’er, why did you come out?"

"Lin Lang, I heard everything. I’m sorry. I made things difficult for you. I will leave now. I don’t want to cause a rift between you and your daughter."

"Stop talking. This has nothing to do with you."

"How can it have nothing to do with me? It’s because of me…"

"Yue’er, remember, I never care about your issues with the Shenmu Sect. The mistake is not yours. As for the Yu family matter, it’s my failure to handle it properly. But don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one can hurt you or make you suffer."

Lin Batian said seriously to Xiao Lingyue, he was very angry now and felt that his authority as the head of the family had been greatly challenged. It seemed like he had to discipline the family’s traditions and rules, otherwise he couldn’t remain as the head.
