Chapter 237 The Invitation of the Yan Yang Sect
Chapter 237 The Invitation of the Yan Yang Sect
"In that case, we'll have to trouble you with our stay in the cultivation world." Lin Shushu simply decided to stay with Lin Cheng'an.
"Really? Great! Great! I'll prepare rooms for you right away." Lin Cheng'an's eyes shone brightly. He was very happy that his daughter was willing to stay with him, which meant that their relationship with his daughter could progress even further.
Yuan Qing, standing to the side, also smiled broadly. She had been looking forward to this day for so many years.
Lin Shushu had long sensed her parents' cautious attitude towards her, and it made her feel a little sour.
Admittedly, they did not fulfill their responsibilities as parents, but there were reasons for it. Besides, I have already let go of the past and should look forward to the future.
"Dad, Mom, you don't need to be so polite with me..."
Before Lin Shushu could continue, she saw Lin Cheng'an and Yuan Qing staring intently at her, looking extremely excited, which momentarily surprised her.
"what happened?"
"Shushu, what did you call us just now?" Lin Chengan was afraid he had misheard and tried his best to confirm it again.
Huh? After recalling what she had just said, Lin Shushu realized that she had inadvertently uttered those two words.
She thought she would never utter those two words in her life, but now she was saying them so naturally. Deep down, she probably still harbored some illusions!
Seeing their expectant gazes, Lin Shushu did not hesitate and called out again, "Dad, Mom!"
"Yes." Lin Cheng'an and Yuan Qing responded in unison, unable to hold back any longer, letting tears stream down their faces.
They have no other desires but to receive their daughter's forgiveness in this lifetime.
Lin Shushu knew about her parents' unresolved issues, but she never expected that just a simple form of address would cause them to lose their composure so much.
She stepped forward and gently wiped away their tears.
Her daughter's concern made Yuan Qing even more unable to control herself. She hugged Lin Shushu in her arms, just like when she was a child, and cried even more uncontrollably. This cry seemed to release all the repression and resentment she had accumulated over the years.
Seeing his wife like this, Lin Chengan felt the same way. He leaned forward and gently embraced the mother and daughter, letting his wife vent her emotions.
Yuan Qing only let go of Lin Shushu after she had cried enough and felt embarrassed herself.
"I'm sorry, Shushu, I..." Yuan Qing was a little embarrassed, crying in front of her daughter and future son-in-law.
"It's alright." Lin Shushu was somewhat affected by the situation, and she also felt like crying, but having grown up alone since childhood, crying was a luxury for her.
Other children can get what they want by crying. But for her, even if she cried herself to death, nothing would change. So, she had hardly ever cried since she could remember.
After finding his wife and daughter, Lin Cheng'an suddenly lost interest in managing things. He originally wanted to hand over the business to his daughter to manage, but Lin Shushu refused. He didn't try to persuade her further. In any case, whether his daughter wanted it or not, he would leave everything to her.
Lin Shushu didn't look down on the small trading company; she just couldn't be bothered with it. After arriving in the interstellar world from ancient Earth, she originally planned to relax and be a couch potato, but she rarely actually did. Now that she's in the cultivation world, it seems she's drifting further and further away from her ambitions.
A few days after returning from the ancient ruins, all the major sects took action, and those who had escaped the net during the Yuan family's affair were quickly caught and brought before Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing showed no mercy, annihilating these people in an instant.
Now, their family became famous throughout the Yan Yang Continent. Both Yuan Qing, who endured his revenge, and Lin Cheng'an, who never gave up searching for his wife for many years, were looked up to by everyone.
Of course, the most talked-about person is Lin Shushu, who appeared out of nowhere. At such a young age, her cultivation level is comparable to that of the old monsters of those major sects. There is no one else like her in the entire cultivation world.
After Lin Shushu rose to fame, her formidable strength attracted the attention of many minor sects.
These small sects are like stars scattered across the Yan Yang Continent. Although they are not large in scale, they all harbor dreams of growth and expansion. In their eyes, Lin Shushu is the key figure who can help them realize their dreams.
After all, she didn't have any powerful backing, only a small trading company, which was nothing special. Such people were the easiest to win over, and besides, they would offer appropriate compensation.
Therefore, these minor sects sent representatives to Lin family trading companies in various places to express their desire to invite Lin Shushu to be their guest elders, and offered generous conditions, which Lin Shushu refused one by one.
She had no interest in working for others, even if the job was easy and she could enjoy offerings without doing anything. But her heart wasn't in it, so no matter how generous the offers were, they couldn't sway her.
That day, Master Yan Hua personally sent a message to Lin Shushu, inviting her to the Yan Yang Sect for a chat. Lin Shushu initially wanted to refuse outright, but quickly changed her mind.
She wanted to go to the Azure Cloud Continent, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the Flame Sun Continent and the Azure Cloud Continent. Although they both belonged to the cultivation world, it was difficult to cross the barrier easily.
These past few days, she has studied the history and geography of the Yan Yang Continent extensively, but still has gained nothing.
She was an outsider in the cultivation world and didn't know much about the local situation. Rather than searching for a way to reach the Azure Cloud Continent on her own, she would rather consult a major sect.
These major sects have been rooted in the Yan Yang Continent for many years and must possess many secrets unknown to others. It would be better to obtain some clues from them than to search aimlessly on one's own.
"Thank you for the invitation, Master. I happen to have a favor to ask. I would like to borrow your sect's collection of books. Is that convenient?" Lin Shushu asked tentatively after accepting the invitation.
Master Yan Hua did not agree immediately, but considered it for a few moments before replying: "I cannot make the decision on this matter, but I can speak to the sect leader on my behalf."
"In that case, thank you very much!" Lin Shushu was not disappointed despite not receiving a definite answer. The collections of books in a major sect are extremely precious. Even disciples of the sect must make contributions to borrow them, let alone outsiders.
Yan Hua Zhenren of Yan Yang Sect relayed Lin Shushu's words to the sect leader, Yan Ling Zhenren.
"She wants to borrow the books? Why?"
Master Yan Hua shook his head.
"According to you, she is the one who underwent tribulation in the ruins that day. A person who has just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage can outshine all of you. We can only befriend her and wait for her to arrive before making any further decisions!"
Master Yanling did not refuse directly. As the sect leader, he needed to weigh the pros and cons and would not lend out the sect's most important collection of books just because someone had done a favor for the sect.
Back in Yanyang Town in a short time, Lin Shushu remembered that she had mentioned brewing spirit fruit wine when she was here last time. She had been delayed because she was looking for Lin Chengan, and then the ancient ruins incident happened, so she hadn't been able to do it. She was determined to try it when she returned from Yanyang Sect this time.
While Lin Shushu was still thinking about what kind of wine to brew, the people from Yan Yang Sect who were there to pick them up arrived. It turned out that it was True Person Yan Hua who came to pick them up in person.
