Chapter 418: Chapter 60: Lin Shanshan: They Won’t Start Fighting, Will They? (Two in One Mega Chapter)_3

Lin Shanshan nodded, “Yes, he really never said he was a clan leader of a branch family.”

“Sigh! That’s just how he is, too modest.”

“Honestly, if it wasn’t for the investigation conducted by the Sixth Senior Brother himself, it would be hard for me to imagine a sixteen-year-old peer accomplishing such feats.”

“Compared to him, I feel like a waste of time, an utter failure.”

A flash of astonishment crossed Lin Bufan’s face, “You have such deep feelings for Ning Zhuo, so much so that you got yourself grounded to help him. Aren’t you annoyed that he hasn’t been completely honest with you?”

Lin Shanshan immediately gave Lin Bufan a look, “Dad, what are you talking about!”

...

“Young Master Ning didn’t deliberately hide anything from me. He simply didn’t mention these things.”

“Given his low-profile and steady character, if he really boasted about his past achievements to me, I wouldn’t enjoy listening to it at all.”

Lin Bufan: …

Suddenly, Lin Shanshan revealed a smile and said, “Actually, Ning Zhuo is a lot like you, isn’t he, Dad?”

“Dad, when you were younger, you were quite ordinary as a Golden Core. Back then, many elders of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect didn’t think highly of you, thinking that you would be more aptly named Lin Fan.”

“But those were just your disguise. One day, out of the blue, your cultivation level broke through, and you ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage. Only then were people shocked to discover that you had been hiding your Golden Core Perfection cultivation for so many years.”

“After achieving Nascent Soul, you immediately swept aside all your rivals and took control of all the power of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect. To avoid the old powers and entrenched corruption, you negotiated alone with the Mountain God and moved Yuanlai Mountain here to Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, completely eliminating the influence of the previous powers. From then on, you started afresh, executing your grand vision, and made the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect prosper like never before.”

“Now, in the entire Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, there is only one voice heard, and that is yours, Dad. There is only one will, and that is yours!”

Lin Bufan stroked his beard and smiled without a word.

Lin Shanshan continued, “The current Ning Zhuo, isn’t he just like you in the past, Dad? It’s just that you were more patient, waiting until the Nascent Soul Stage before you truly started to act and show your methods.”

“Young Master Ning Zhuo can’t compare with you in this aspect; he couldn’t hold back in the Foundation Establishment Stage and already revealed his edge.”

Lin Bufan shook his head, “It’s the Qi Refinement Realm. When he was in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, he was still in the Qi Refinement Realm. His advancement to the Foundation Establishment Stage only happened recently.”

“Hearing you say that, I now understand where your fondness for Ning Zhuo comes from.”

“You girl, your ability to persuade has indeed grown with each day!”

Lin Shanshan smiled, no longer feeling as tense as before.

Her nervousness before was because she didn’t know about Ning Zhuo’s achievements. But having seen the intelligence reports, she understood Ning Zhuo better.

Lin Shanshan was worried that Ning Zhuo, being young and impulsive, might clash with the Eldest Senior Brother. But now, seeing such a crafty fox, how could he do something so foolish?

Lin Shanshan was overly concerned, losing her composure. Now that she had calmed down, reason allowed her to see the situation more clearly.

She said, “In that case, the meeting between Young Master Ning Zhuo and the Eldest Senior Brother is quite significant, affecting the long-term relationship between our sect and the Ning Family of Persimmon Fire.”

Lin Bufan nodded, “Exactly. The one who can inherit my mantle and take over as Sect Leader can be none other than your Eldest Senior Brother.”

“The Drunk Moon Chasing Immortal technique, albeit rated as high-grade innate talent, is just hard to find good wine for, which is too costly. Now, paired up with Netherworld Brew, your Eldest Senior Brother is simply a match made in heaven.”

“But his temperament is too laid-back, too focused on affection among brothers and sisters. How many times have the junior brothers broken the sect rules, and he has taken the blame all on himself. You think I don’t know?”

“Hmph, in that respect, I would actually prefer him to learn a bit from Ning Zhuo.”

“I often punish your Eldest Senior Brother with confinement, hoping he would overcome his indolent nature and gain insight into himself in solitude. A little less generosity and a bit more self-reflection. Otherwise, he will sooner or later be dragged down by you and the other junior brothers and sisters!”

Lin Shanshan dissatisfiedly said, “Dad, the Eldest Senior Brother and the rest of us grew up together, the bond of siblinghood was formed since childhood. You used to praise him too, saying he’s an exemplary older brother, didn’t you?”

“Isn’t the Eldest Senior Brother the way he is because you taught him?”

Lin Bufan shook his head, “I often reflect on this matter. Although I’ve held the position of Sect Leader for many years, being a parent is still new to me. So even with hundreds of years of life, I find that there are still aspects where I fall short.”

“It’s said that it takes ten years to cultivate trees but a hundred years to cultivate people. Alas! Being a parent and educating the next generation is no easy task, much harder than managing a sect.”

Lin Bufan spoke thoughtfully.

His conversation with Lin Shanshan was also out of consideration for his daughter’s welfare, worried that she might be taken advantage of by Ning Zhuo out of love.

Lin Shanshan had only met Ning Zhuo for a short while and had already helped him so much, incurring debts and even neglecting her daily cultivation practice.

This was simply preposterous!

Lin Bufan had been silently enduring.

Just two days ago, when he saw Ning Zhuo for the first time and received the intelligence on him, he knew Lin Shanshan’s involvement was not unjustified.

Today, he made a special visit to talk to Lin Shanshan and heard his daughter’s views and attitudes from her own mouth.

Only then did he realize, part of the reason his daughter felt good about Ning Zhuo was because Ning Zhuo was so much like himself!

“Indeed.”

“The difference in temperament between Jiu’er and me is quite substantial.”

“That kid Ning Zhuo, indeed like me, just like me!”

Thinking this way, Lin Bufan’s subtle hostility towards Ning Zhuo dissipated a lot.
