As Su Lin looked at Su Qingyang in the river, a strange inspiration flashed through his mind, and he even gained some insights.
He dared not slacken, and seized this glimmer of inspiration. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state, silently developing the foundation-building method in his mind.
This caused trouble for Xu Zhenshu, who was standing nearby. She had brought Su Lin here for the purpose of father and son reunion, but unexpectedly, the old man was in meditation, and the young man also entered meditation with him.
It's pitiful that she has nowhere to express her feelings, so she can only quietly watch Su Lin's profile and wait by his side.
It's extremely difficult to perceive the passage of time in the darkness. Even with Xu Zhenshu's excellent temperament, he became somewhat restless after waiting for a while. These two, father and son, were truly born martial arts fanatics. When they entered a meditative state, they disregarded everything around them and paid no attention to anything else.
Who knows when Su Lin will wake up from this deep meditation?
Just as Xu Zhenshu was about to get up and think of a solution, he heard footsteps behind him: "It's been about two days, let's go up and do some more shopping."
It was Senior Li. He led Xiao Linlin to the pool, glanced at Su Qingyang, and then his gaze fell on Su Lin.
"yes."
Xu Zhenshu nodded gently in agreement, then looked at Su Lin with concern: "Grandmaster, my junior brother is like this..."
"It's alright, I'm here."
Senior Li said calmly, "Tianci has gained some insight through his intuition. This is an opportunity that cannot be sought after, and it should be a joyous occasion. You should be happy for him."
Everyone has the ability to understand, but what one can comprehend and how much one can comprehend is an elusive and uncontrollable thing.
The real opportunity and growth lie in having it, seizing it, and absorbing it for your own use. If you can't do that, it's just a fleeting flash of inspiration in your mind, meaningless, and will only cause you trouble and regret when you think about it later.
The difference between geniuses and ordinary people lies in whether they can grasp these things and cherish and seize every flash of inspiration.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenshu nodded silently and was about to change his appearance and go to the surface again when Xiao Linlin gently called out to him, "Sister, my brother and I also brought some food, which is more than enough."
"oh?"
Senior Li smiled as he looked at the little girl: "Your brother is so well-prepared; he didn't tell me beforehand."
He seemed to really like Xiao Linlin; his words were gentle and full of elder's affection.
“Brother is the most meticulous in his work. He not only carries food with him, but also some things needed for cultivation, all of which were gathered from that wonderful place.”
Xiao Linlin nodded obediently, knowing full well that Senior Li's favoritism stemmed largely from Su Lin, a case of loving someone because of their loved one.
"I do not see you performing many rituals; is this method of storage also a wonderfully obtained one?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
"That's a really nice place."
Senior Li raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't ask any more questions. He wasn't the type to pry into secrets.
Taking the opportunity, Xiao Linlin cautiously suggested, "Grandpa, would you like to go and have a look too? After this matter is settled, I'll ask my brother to take you there. It's a wonderful place to enjoy your retirement."
"Oh? Hehe."
Senior Li gave a half-smile, neither confirming nor denying.
Xiao Linlin pressed her advantage: "That place is truly amazing. I just heard that Grandpa was going to perform the initiation ceremony for my brother, right? It is said that the initiation ceremony would greatly damage one's foundation, but if Grandpa goes to that place, the disaster of the initiation ceremony will be nothing to worry about, and the foundation can be repaired without any problem. Even my sister's and godfather's martial arts foundation can be easily repaired."
If we could make Senior Li our follower, it would be a significant boost to the team's combat strength.
According to Xiao Linlin's analysis, Senior Li's strength is at least equivalent to Lyanna's level, at least at the SS-level follower level.
More importantly, Senior Li's strength system almost completely overlaps with Su Lin's! A perfect match! This is far more valuable than Lyanna. With Senior Li, it's almost as if Su Lin has a professional mentor by his side!
If Su Lin were to learn all of Senior Li's martial arts experience, insights, and swordsmanship, it would be a true testament to his self-taught strength, which is also the most difficult part to master and improve through self-study!
To put it bluntly, Xiao Linlin felt that the internal energy initiation was really irrelevant; what mattered most was Senior Li himself, who was of immense value.
"You're much more optimistic than Lin'er."
Senior Li lowered his head and looked at Xiao Linlin with a smile: "We haven't even dealt with that demon yet, and you're already thinking about how I can enjoy my retirement. Don't you think you're underestimating your opponent?"
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Xiao Linlin raised her little head proudly: "My brother is the most invincible. No matter what kind of demon he is, he can kill it for Grandpa with ease!"
"oh?"
Senior Li raised an eyebrow, smiled, and remained silent, his gaze fixed on Su Lin, who was in meditation.
After a long while, he turned and left.
"Zhenshu, go find Linlin and get her some food."
"yes."
Xu Zhenshu nodded and looked at Xiao Linlin, who was still thinking about the recruitment and trying to catch up with Senior Li: "Grandpa! Are you going to agree or not? If you agree, I still have a way to help my brother win, a way that he can definitely win!"
"good."
Senior Li nodded without turning his head: "I am already invincible in this world. It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look at the new world. It might be interesting."
"Forehead..."
Xiao Linlin stood there stunned, blinking at the old man's departing figure, trying her best to suppress the shock in her heart.
A new world?
Did he notice something?
Or did she discover her brother's identity?
Or perhaps... he actually knew something all along, but didn't say it out loud.
"This is what happens when the whole world favors the strongest being... It's really insane."
Xiao Linlin murmured to herself, suddenly remembering the Elf Queen that Lyanna had mentioned at the foot of the snow-capped mountain that day.
Perhaps a tiny minority of beings in each world are able to discern even a sliver of the truth.
"Indeed, how could a supreme expert who can independently overcome cognitive traps be so easily deceived..."
Xiao Linlin mumbled something, and Xu Zhenshu blinked, taking her small hand in his: "Linlin, what are you saying?"
"nothing."
Xiao Linlin raised her head, composed herself, and revealed a bright smile: "Sister Xu, if one day you could stay by my brother's side forever and even learn martial arts again to help him, would you be happy?"
"ah..."
Xu Zhenshu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's truly a blessing from heaven. I dare not even dream of such good fortune."
"It's alright."
Xiao Linlin pulled Xu Zhenshu outside, her childish voice clear yet resolute: "What God can't give you, my brother can."
Upon hearing the sound, Xu Zhenshu couldn't help but look at Su Lin, who was in deep meditation.
She thought it was just a child's joke, but she couldn't help but think about it and dream about it, following closely as the young man's figure gradually blurred in the darkness.
"Will that day really come...?"
