Chapter 326: Chapter 326

As the saying goes, even a just official finds it hard to resolve family matters, especially when it involves blood relatives of his disciple, so Jiang Yuan had no right to intervene.

Moreover, after the intense battle, his Physical Strength Bar was indeed exhausted. Hungry, he wanted to hurry home and prepare a sumptuous meal to reward everyone. Upon hearing his disciple’s straightforward refusal, he took out a Teleportation Scroll, ready to leave.

Yet Wan Mingchuan hadn’t yet finished venting his anger.

His previous silence was meant to smoothly retreat into seclusion and awaken his bloodline heritage. Now that he had obtained the Heavenly Level Cultivation Technique, how could he not release the grievances and anger accumulated over the years?

"I finally understand why, after my mother and I were ambushed and went missing years ago, you couldn’t even be bothered to search earnestly, rushing instead to marry a new wife. In your mind, raising a son as large as me was worth less than a dog?"

He coldly smiled at Lin Tianyou, who was crying and begging for mercy but was being silenced by a servant. "There’s an old saying: even a tiger, fierce as it is, does not eat its cubs. The book says: A father is to blame for not teaching. Lin Tianyou’s grave mistake is also due to your poor guidance. Yet, you simply kill him to absolve yourself completely.

Ha, in that case, I dare not be your son. Missing, you let them be; when mistakes are made, you don’t even give the chance to repent and directly kill. To a heartless person like you, what are children? Tools to maintain your pomp as Patriarch?"

Flattering the wrong person, Lin Shuo’s face turned livid, yet he dared not lose his temper.

The relationship between half-siblings was already hard to manage. Pleading for the youngest son might cause the eldest son to grow distant. They never had much affection anyway, and if stirred, might break entirely, missing out on future opportunities;

So he thought, anyway having three sons, if the eldest son now succeeds, he won’t worry; the second son can inherit the family business and secure the relationship with his in-laws, and the remaining third son, incapable and brainless, could be abandoned without pain, as long as the eldest is appeased.

Unexpectedly, by dealing with the third son ruthlessly, the eldest actually rebuked him for being heartless, putting him in a dilemma.

"Your father only aimed for fairness; rules are crucial!"

"Indeed, marrying a new wife was rushed back then, but there was no choice. But it’s absolutely false that no efforts were made to find you and your mother, everyone in the Lin Family who could be sent was sent, we simply couldn’t find you!"

"Our Lin clan indeed fell on hard times, lacking good resources. But now that Spiritual Energy Revival is happening, it just needs some time to gradually recover, absolutely wasn’t implying you’d be relied upon for support..."

Others joined in, trying to mediate, fearing that the Small God of Wealth would run away and not return, taking the Big God of Wealth along.

Yet Wan Mingchuan wasn’t convinced, counting on his fingers: "Our bond was shallow from the start; otherwise, we wouldn’t have taken so many years to meet.

The grace of bearing me for ten months and protecting me with her life is my mother’s, I will repay this kindness to my grandfather; during the ambush, I was just a year old, seeing how you treat the youngest, it’s clear you go without raising a finger, leaving me unattended, so I’ll account a year of upbringing to you.

Now, as I’ve secluded myself in the Silent Cultivation Tower, and my master with fellow disciples have cleared out the Lin family’s internal and external threats, this reward already far surpasses the cost of nurturing and using the Silent Cultivation Tower for seclusion, it serves as repayment to the family.

Raising me to adulthood was my grandfather’s doing; guiding me onto the path of cultivation and granting me new life was my master’s; even teaching me literacy were Brother Long and Sister Hu; patiently playing with me were Brother Mo and Sister Yun.

Since you’ve chosen to be a mere passerby in my life, the so-called father-son relationship ends here. From now on, Wan Mingchuan has no ties with the Central Province Lin Family, let’s part amicably with no need to meet again!"

Finally, having expressed what he’d been holding in, Wan Mingchuan grinned and raised an eyebrow at Bai Yunqi, saying, "Master, let’s go home."

Bai Yunqi felt a sense of contentment, thinking, so the kid was waiting for this moment?

Thankfully, the disciple raised by the Venerable Family isn’t foolish, knowing who treats him well and who doesn’t.

Raising someone else’s child only to fear that despite being wholeheartedly good to him, he, unable to discern good from bad, turns his closeness to the indifferent "family." Bai Yunqi had seen too many ungrateful humans over the years, and seeing him previously tacitly and unhappily agree without refusal made him fume; now he finally felt at ease.

"Oh, and the threats within your Silent Cultivation Tower have also been dealt with, no need for thanks." Bai Yunqi flicked the resentment bound with Hu Zhile’s colorful ribbons attached to Lin Feng, laughing boastfully, "Go on, tell them what your decision is?"

Lin Feng glanced at the unsatisfactory descendants, flaring with anger, "Fools! Fools who cannot even recognize their own ancestors!"

Still wanting to curse a bit more to vent, glancing at Bai Yunqi glaring menacingly at him, knowing the current situation required taking him as an example, he gritting his teeth, said fiercely, "The array inside the Silent Cultivation Tower was originally built using my skeleton. I lurked within, waiting for a prodigy to enter and take the opportunity to possess..."

The words "Possession" slipped from his mouth, causing all cultivators within Lin Mansion who had entered the Silent Cultivation Tower to go cold in fear.

Damn it! They were almost possessed! Luckily, their talents were mediocre, which at least saved their lives.

At the same time, they sighed in relief, thinking the man apparently had bad luck, with his bones taken for the array while his remaining soul intending possession ran into someone with a powerful backer, he’s completely done for.

"Father, as for my brother..." Lin Tianzuo stood stunned, suddenly feeling like a joke.

Using all his efforts from childhood, only trying to retain the cherished position of Young Patriarch, yet being discarded as undesirable; even what he considered the illustrious Lin family’s cultivator’s heritage seemed a destitute state in other’s eyes.

All born of the same father, how could there be such a difference between people?

Watching Wan Mingchuan disappear using some Magical Treasure alongside his Master, even if his father was anxiously stomping, unable to find him, Lin Tianzuo felt empty inside.

The position of Young Patriarch retained, the foolish brother plotting to usurp had been disposed of, yet he found no joy, contrastingly enveloped by a sense of loss and despair which drained his spirit.

The cultivation resources couldn’t compare, nor could the lifestyle atmosphere; unable to establish a solid Foundation, needing to constantly scheme against even his biological brothers; the family’s so-called treasures were mere trifles readily discarded by others, dreaming of rising as a family of cultivators was simply nonsense!

"Now that they’ve left, who are you putting on a show for?" Lin Shuo, brimming with rage, all dreams shattered, gained no light from his eldest son, apart from having addressed the safety issue within the Silent Cultivation Tower.

Thus, he quickly turned to stop enforcing family law, rushing to comfort his wife, as he couldn’t afford to offend his in-laws now that his eldest couldn’t be relied on. Meanwhile, he planned to discard the third son, who was handicapped and had no hope of Foundation Establishment, to his in-laws for some years, avoiding gossip;

Furthermore, he needed to quickly prepare lavish gifts and visit the former father-in-law at the Celestial Sword Sect. By laying the groundwork, perhaps he’d manage to rebuild the father-son relationship with his promising eldest son...

Wan Mingchuan didn’t expect Lin Shuo to try every means to climb up, finding opportunities to get close to him. Once teleported back to his cozy courtyard, he puffed up proudly and said, "Master, Brother Long, and Sister Hu, Brother Mo... uh, can Sister Yun, being a Puppet, cultivate a Cultivation Technique?"

Upon receiving a negative response, he smacked his knee in annoyance, sighing, "Such a pity, the Heavenly Level Cultivation Technique I obtained after awakening my bloodline heritage, Sister Yun can’t cultivate it. But..."

With a change of tone, he smiled brightly, "In our little courtyard, everyone capable of cultivation is included in the plan!"
