Although Lin Xiuyuan made his stance clear, he would not easily give up the idea. Now, Lin Xiuyuan is a variable that has emerged in all of Zhou's plans, but this variable has brought great hope.
If Lin Xiuyuan were willing to set aside past grievances and return to the Zhou family, it would undoubtedly prevent the Zhou family from declining.
Lin Xiuyuan, a prodigy with the potential to reach the Golden Core stage, has a much higher chance of achieving it than ordinary people, not to mention that his background is now vastly different!
Lin Xiuyuan was clearly aware of the other party's thoughts and knew that Zhou Jianwen would not give up so easily.
He wouldn't have done the same... but he already had a plan for this matter, and he wouldn't change his stance with just a few words.
Certainly, the full support of a long-established Golden Core family with profound heritage would be of great help to him.
However, this is a "sunken ship," and he is not lacking in resources now. Perhaps he will be in dire need after reaching the Purple Mansion stage, but that is a matter for the future. Whether he can advance to the next realm now is still uncertain.
Given the current situation, such conditions are not enough to sway him.
Lin Xiuyuan continued to make his stance clear and straightforward.
"Clan Chief Zhou, as I said before, I am not enthusiastic about returning to the Zhou clan genealogy. I have just reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment and am now focused on consolidating my realm and breaking through to the upper realm. I'm sorry, I don't want to consider these things for the time being."
"Indeed, without the Zhou family, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Cloud Soaring Sect so smoothly to cultivate, but I have already repaid that favor to Qingxue. Besides, if I had entered another force instead of the Cloud Soaring Sect, the path would probably have been the same."
Lin Xiuyuan said with a half-smile.
Zhou Jianwen smiled helplessly. This little girl...
But he never intended to change Lin Xiuyuan's mind with this. As he said, with Lin Xiuyuan's talent, even if he didn't enter the Cloud Soaring Sect, he would still enter other large forces and shine just as brightly.
His talent is undeniable; differences in power will make no difference! Lin Xiuyuan will rise to prominence just as he was destined to.
The role that Zhou played in this matter was merely to go with the flow.
More importantly, it was because a scheme had fallen on Lin Xiuyuan's shoulders...
Therefore, there is no question of any sentimentality whatsoever... It's already a blessing that the other party even acknowledged this matter, even if that sentimentality was used on Zhou Qingxue.
But this isn't bad either. At least we can use Zhou Qingxue as a link to improve and deepen the relationship between the two sides... which might bring some turning point to this matter.
After several such exchanges, Zhou Jianwen offered numerous conditions, such as the previously mentioned full support, or the promise of becoming the Grand Elder upon successfully breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage, thus indirectly gaining control of the Zhou family. However, none of these offered any incentive to Lin Xiuyuan…
Upon seeing this, Zhou Jianwen knew he couldn't continue the conversation, lest it cause offense and create a rift.
We can only wait and see... but a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Several conditions were tentatively hinted at, and even with such generous offers, they were not enough to sway Lin Xiuyuan.
I'm afraid that unless Lin Xiuyuan breaks through to the Purple Mansion stage and resources become extremely scarce, this matter is probably unlikely to happen.
Looking back now, I truly regret my decision!
Zhou Jianwen sighed inwardly and changed the subject.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lin Xiuyuan, having already expressed his stance and seeing that the other party had temporarily given up, also prepared to leave.
However, before Lin Xiuyuan left, Zhou Jianwen brought up the matter of Zhou Qingxue 'hiding' in the Yunxiao Sect. However, what happened next was somewhat unexpected for Lin Xiuyuan.
Zhou Jianwen's next words caused a strange look to appear on Lin Xiuyuan's face.
