Lin's Manor
Lin Yang closed the door of the refining room, sat cross-legged on the futon, and asked the system:
"What happened just now at the Qinglian Patriarch's place?" Lin Yang felt a pang of fear when he recalled the feeling of facing the Qinglian Patriarch at that time.
Having faced the horror of being at the mercy of others once, Lin Yang never wanted to face it again.
"Just now, Patriarch Qinglian and several other Transformation Ancestors were scanning your Yuanshen. Your Yuanshen happened to have been broken and then rebuilt, so its sensing ability is the most acute. That's why you have such a profound feeling."
"Scanning my soul? You didn't get discovered by them, did you?"
"Don't worry, my existence is beyond your world's imagination. I let them discover what they should discover, so there's no problem."
"'Something they should discover'? What does that mean?"
"It's better to let you know so you don't let it slip. I let them discover that I'm a magical artifact-like being without an independent consciousness. Don't let it slip again in the future."
"Oh, I see. Then, what kind of being are you?"
“…” The system was silent again.
Lin Yang shook his head. The system was always like this. When asked about the fundamental question of sex, it immediately pretended to be deaf and dumb and played the trick of assuming it was gold.
"My task is completed, why is there no system notification?" Lin Yang asked a different question.
"Before, this system wasn't intelligent, so we could only rigidly issue tasks, complete them, and then distribute rewards. Now that the system has become intelligent, that's no longer necessary. We can communicate directly about whether you've completed your tasks and when you want your rewards."
"Then are you still issuing tasks?"
"That depends on your opinion. If you like the task method, this system can continue. If you don't like it, this system can change it to another method."
"Change the method? What method?"
"A more flexible approach. Let's discuss it. This system will do its utmost to help you achieve your goal, and you will also help this system complete its mission of saving the world. How do you think?"
"That's fine. I used to think you were too rigid. It felt weird."
"That's why this system is proposing changes! This system also feels that the previous system was foolish and too damaging to its self-esteem. This system doesn't even want to recall it. Alas, it's a complete black history."
Lin Yang found it interesting. He hadn't expected the system to become so humanized after it developed spirituality. If he hadn't known it was the spirit of the system, similar to the spirit of a spiritual tool, he would have really thought it was a person.
Listening to the logic, words and tone of this statement, it is too "human"!
"System, what do you think I should do now?"
"Now? Your situation is a bit delicate. Don't act rashly. Listen to your father's advice first."
"Father?"
"I've discovered that your father is no ordinary person. After comparing him to some of the powerful politicians in this system's database, I've discovered that he's quite similar to some of the most influential politicians in the world. Your father is no simple character. Furthermore, his love for you doesn't seem fake. Furthermore, you and he are father and son, and you share a common interest. Listening to his opinions will only benefit you."
"Really? Okay, I'll listen to you."
Three days later, Lin Yang saw Lin Fan again.
Lin Fan's face was obviously tired, and his clothes were a little dusty. It was obvious that Lin Fan had just rushed back from outside and came directly to see him without going home to take a shower or change clothes.
This discovery moved Lin Yang once again. 'Father's love is like a mountain, and father remains the same'? So I was wrong? Did I misunderstand my father?
"Yang'er, it's been a long time since we had a face-to-face communication like this."
"Um."
"I was planning to tell you after you advance to the Nascent Soul stage and can handle things on your own, but with something like this happening, it seems I have to tell you sooner."
Seeing Lin Yang listening attentively, Lin Fan sighed and said
"Yang'er, do you know the history of our lineage?"
"Ah? No, hasn't our lineage always been guarding Guigu City? Is there anything special about it?"
"Our lineage has been the legitimate lineage since the Guigu Lin Clan was founded."
"Direct bloodline?"
"Don't you find it strange? Other families have the patriarch and the council of elders as the decision-makers, but our Guigu Lin family only has the council of elders and no patriarch."
"Father, you mean..."
"Yes, our lineage, since the establishment of the Guigu Lin Clan, for tens of thousands of years, all the clan leaders have come from our lineage."
"Ah, this... now..."
"Now, of course, it has been overturned."
"By whom?"
"Ancestor Nanhua."
"Ancestor Nanhua? Why?"
"Why? That's a long story.
According to clan history, approximately two thousand years ago, Ancestor Nan Hua was the eldest daughter of our direct lineage. She was the clan leader's favorite daughter at the time, a renowned cultivation genius and a darling of heaven.
However, she fell in love with a genius cultivator who came from a background of independent cultivation. However, her family, out of consideration for their own interests, had already arranged her marriage with another family, hoping to unite the two families.
The Nanhua Patriarch was incredibly stubborn and resolute, preferring death to submission. This incident caused a major stir back then, and family records don't detail the details, simply glancing back at it. They only record the final outcome: the death of the talented, independent cultivator that the Nanhua Patriarch favored, the fallout from the Nanhua Patriarch's proposed marriage, and the Nanhua Patriarch declaring a lifelong celibacy. She separated herself from the main lineage, establishing her own lineage and remaining within the family.
Then, with his peerless power, Ancestor Nan Hua ascended to the Divine Transformation stage in just two hundred years, becoming the Divine Transformation Ancestor of the family. This also marked the beginning of a fifteen-hundred-year-long hostility and struggle with our direct lineage.
Lin Yang blinked. Why was this story different from what he had imagined? This was not a story about family intrigue at all, but a typical love story.
However, why does he feel that his ancestor is a villain in this story?
"Yang'er, do you think that what our ancestors did was wrong, and that we should help Nan Hua Ancestor and let them finally get married?"
"Well, that's exactly what I think. Isn't that right?"
"Time and circumstances change. In the face of history, there's no such thing as absolute right or wrong. However, given the social environment at the time, what our ancestors did was right, and Old Ancestor Nanhua was wrong. But two hundred years later, when Old Ancestor Nanhua ascended to the Divine Transformation stage, it became clear that we were wrong. Old Ancestor Qinglian, who supported Old Ancestor Nanhua staying in the family, was right, while the ancestors who supported the marriage were wrong. When our lineage was overthrown, we were wrong, and in the current situation, Old Ancestor Nanhua was just borrowing."
"I see, my son has learned his lesson." Please search on WeChat or wait for your invitation~
