Chapter 1559: Chapter 369: Look, This Is the Mortal You Despised

Time is merciless.

In the second year after Wei An’s marriage, Shen Xin became pregnant and gave birth to a boy.

The name given was: Wei Qiu.

The name has no special meaning; it was simply because he was born in autumn, named after the season.

Three more years passed.

Little Wei Qiu was as mischievous as his father was at his age, but in terms of aptitude, he was far superior. Clearly, even though Wei An’s aptitude had been sealed, it could still be passed down to the next generation.

No wonder cultivators, when seeking companions, avoid ordinary people because the chances of producing children with a Spirit Root are very low.

"Uncle, you have white hair."

Twenty-four-year-old Wei An looked at Uncle Lin, who was trimming flowers and plants. Under the sunlight, Uncle Lin’s strand of white hair was very glaring, shining with a silvery glow.

"Really? I’m already over forty, my body is aging, and now having white hair is a normal thing," Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Uncle, don’t move, let me pluck it for you."

"Alright."

Lin Fan sat in a chair, and Wei An stood behind him, gently pinching the white hair. With a snap, he plucked it out, then carefully looked for any other white hairs.

"Wei An."

"Uncle, what’s up?"

"Uncle is planning to buy you an old house in the inner city. You are already married and have a child, with so many people, it’s time to change to a bigger place."

"Uncle, old houses in the inner city are very expensive, how can we afford it?"

Upon hearing Uncle Lin mention buying a place in the inner city, Wei An was dumbfounded and somewhat incredulous, since they were ordinary people and living in the outer city was already quite good.

Honestly, he had never imagined they could have a home in the inner city.

With a gentle smile, Lin Fan said softly, "We can afford it. Uncle has actually been saving some family property over the years. Although we can’t afford the big mansions, we can still buy some small houses in the inner city. Anyway, you, Xin, little Wei Qiu all need a place of your own; always renting someone else’s house isn’t the same."

Wei An’s eyes reddened. It seemed as if Uncle Lin spoke easily and casually, as if buying a house was an anytime affair, but he knew that over the years, Uncle Lin had silently been contributing to this family.

"Uncle Lin..." Wei An’s voice carried a hint of sobbing.

Lin Fan said, "Alright, the child’s already four, and you still keep crying. If the child sees, he’ll think his father’s a kid."

Wei An replied, "By Uncle Lin’s side, I’ll always be little Wei An."

"You, you..."

Lin Fan smiled, enjoying the peace of life as it was, yet he knew that a day of parting would inevitably come, and what it would be like then, he didn’t know.

Nighttime.

After putting little Wei Qiu to sleep, Wei An and Xin’er talked about what Uncle Lin mentioned during the day. Xin’er’s mouth gaped wide while listening, and even her speech became a little stuttered.

They hadn’t thought Uncle Lin would actually want to buy them a house and move to the inner city, something Xin’er dared not even dream of.

Then Xin’er told Wei An, that tomorrow she would find her mother and ask her to contribute some Spirit Stones too. They couldn’t let Uncle Lin carry the burden alone; after all, Uncle Lin had been very kind to her when she was young.

"Brother An, we haven’t seen Sister Er Ya in a long time." Xin’er brought up Sister Er Ya for some reason; perhaps to her, childhood companions were worth remembering.

Wei An said, "It’s normal not to see her. She is a cultivator now and has her own path. To her, we ordinary people are ultimately just passing by."

After years of growth, Wei An had established his own family, and he had already calmly accepted the distance from Er Ya. To him, these things were not important; the most important thing was being with his family.

Several days later.

Lin Fan, Wei An, Shen Xin, little Wei Qiu, and Qi Yan entered the inner city.

After Qi Yan no longer had ambitions for the later stages, the accumulated Spirit Stones became unused. Upon knowing Lin Fan wanted to buy a house for the children, she didn’t hesitate and handed over all the Spirit Stones she had painstakingly accumulated. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Qi Yan wasn’t a major cultivator, merely a mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivator, like many other loose cultivators who struggle for survival, yet she was different from most other loose cultivators.

Loose cultivators who settle down consider their descendants as an investment in the cultivation world. If the offspring have good aptitude, they invest in their cultivation, hoping for returns. As for using family assets to buy a house for descendants, it’s unthinkable.

In the inner city, the houses for sale belonged to someone from an inner city cultivation family, specialized in this business.

When they encountered Lin Fan and his group buying a residence, the other party was first surprised. Just a mid-stage Qi Refinement loose cultivator, wanting to settle in the inner city—with such Spirit Stones, they could buy pills and training necessities, which would be better than this.

However, the other party didn’t say much; why interfere when others buy a house? Selling a residence could earn them quite a commission.

The location they chose was in the furthest corner of the inner city, among the cheapest places for sale in the inner city.

Four thousand five hundred pieces of low-grade Spirit Stones.

Four rooms, a kitchen, and a reasonably sized courtyard—compared to the outer city, this was already a mansion.

Qi Yan was shocked by the price; her face turned pale. She knew that housing in the inner city was expensive, but she didn’t expect it to be so costly—even in such a remote location, it still cost fifty-four thousand low-grade Spirit Stones. Who knew when she would accumulate that amount?

She couldn’t figure out where Lin Fan got so many Spirit Stones. After inquiring, she learned that some were left by old man Wei, and some were accumulated by him over the years.
