Su Lin stood obediently to the side, showing a clear understanding of being a grandson.
But he also sensed something different in Xiao Linlin's conversation with the old man.
The old man should have sensed something about the mechanism long ago, but he didn't expose it. When he entered meditation, Xiao Linlin also had some suggestive conversations with the old man.
The reason why the old man was willing to perform the initiation ceremony and agree to be recruited was probably not only because he himself had such thoughts, but also because Xiao Linlin had encouraged him from the sidelines.
"elder brother..."
At this moment, Xiao Linlin's voice rang in Su Lin's mind, explaining the reasons behind it to Su Lin.
Senior Li did not notice when Su Lin first entered the Sword Pavilion, but he realized it only after Su Lin left.
In the original world, Su Qingyang of the Sword Pavilion had no biological children. Because he had no sons, he adopted Xu Zhenshu as his adopted daughter to carry on the Sword Pavilion lineage.
The mechanism was adjusted to send Su Lin into the Sword Pavilion as Su Qingyang's biological son, thus altering the perception of people in the world. It also twisted the regret of Su Qingyang having no children into rumors within the sect, such as a useless son who was addicted to swords. All these details were seamless.
Shortly after Su Lin left, the power of the mechanism dissipated by more than half. Senior Li, the only spirit in the world, sensed something was wrong, saw through the truth, and discovered Su Lin's true identity.
However, he did not mention or expose this secret. Judging from Xiao Linlin's conversation with Senior Li, it was mostly because Senior Li felt there was nothing wrong with it.
For Li Xingtian, who never married, Sword Pavilion was everything, and the disciples of the sect were all his descendants.
With the addition of Lin'er, who was sent by a mysterious force, it doesn't matter whether she is Su Qingyang's biological child or not, since Su Qingyang is not his biological child either, but is also regarded as his own.
He cared more about Su Lin's character, talent, and attitude. As long as Su Lin himself identified with the Sword Pavilion, entered the Sword Pavilion, practiced the Sword Pavilion's methods, and was quite fond of it, then having another child wouldn't be a problem.
In short, he's just taken on a disciple or grand-disciple.
He would not pry into Su Lin's secrets, just as he had always insisted on not inquiring about secrets.
After all, Senior Li himself has quite a few secrets.
Based on these factors, after Su Lin's second reunion with Li Xingtian, Li Xingtian only cared whether Su Lin's perception had been altered by the mysterious person, resulting in an illusion.
As long as it's confirmed that Su Lin is real, his identity and secrets don't matter.
This secret was known only to Li Xingtian. Now that he had been recruited and Xiao Linlin was explaining the reasons, Su Lin basically understood.
This made him clearly realize the power and incredible nature of SSS-level followers. Even though he was in a dream created by the mechanism, he could still see through some truths.
Such creatures are truly extraordinary, putting most survivors to shame.
After the recruitment, Senior Li naturally learned about the mechanics, Su Lin's past experiences and the wealth of his followers, as well as the current escape mission and situation in the world.
Without needing Xiao Linlin and Su Lin to remind him, he was curious about the mechanism but didn't ask any further questions.
Li Xingtian was incredibly clever. From Su Lin's brief remark earlier, he understood the kid's true thoughts and feelings about the system, and knew that there were some things he didn't need to ask.
More than the mechanism itself, Senior Li was curious about some things in the waiting area, especially the full restoration of the dormitories.
"Girl, what you said before, you didn't lie to this old man, did you?"
"Of course not, Grandpa must know the truth by now."
Xiao Linlin widened her eyes innocently: "As long as we return to the waiting area, Grandpa can cultivate however he wants. He no longer has to struggle alone for the future. There are countless paths to take."
"oh?"
Senior Li seemed thoughtful and quite interested, then suddenly spoke up: "According to the rules of the system, these things should be quite expensive, right?"
"Money is no object, my brother is definitely not short of money!"
Xiao Linlin patted her chest proudly, but unexpectedly, Senior Li smiled knowingly and said, "You're certainly not short of money. According to the mechanism, the memories you received... this first windfall was taken from the Sword Pavilion, right?"
"Forehead..."
Xiao Linlin was taken aback and stuck out her tongue.
I almost forgot, the old man also knows all of my brother's previous experiences in the game. With the evidence from both sides, he naturally knows how much benefit Su Lin took from the Sword Pavilion back then.
"The money taken from Jian Ge is definitely for Grandpa's retirement."
Xiao Linlin still knew how to talk, which pleased the old man. He then looked at Su Lin and said, "Kid, stop looking down all the time. You've lost all your former arrogance."
"Just do what you have to do. I'm practically a cripple now, so I can't help you any more. Hurry up and finish it. When you're done, come back and get me medical treatment."
Senior Li was very much looking forward to seeing how many methods there were that were even stronger than his own creations, and whether they were truly all things that he could learn and comprehend on his own.
This is an immense attraction for a swordsman who is obsessed with martial arts.
"yes."
Su Lin nodded and looked at Xiao Linlin: "What were you trying to say? Say it now."
He wanted to ask about the plan, but Xiao Linlin's gaze turned to Su Qingyang in the pool beside them: "Brother, your father is still in meditation. Why don't we wait until he wakes up before we talk?"
She phrased it tactfully, but everyone here, young and old, could see through Xiao Linlin's little scheme.
Since my brother has already gained Senior Li, it wouldn't be unreasonable to have Su Qingyang as well, right?
We're all family, we should leave together in an orderly fashion!
Xiao Linlin thought that since Senior Li was an SSS-level follower, then even if Su Qingyang was not as good, he should at least be an SS-level follower!
