Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 460:

Yun State, Lin family

The leaders of the Lin family didn’t know whether to be happy or unhappy about Lin Die’s appearance. Having Lin Die meant having another skilled person in the Lin family, adding to their strength. In theory, they should be happy.

Lin Die is from a high-ranking family, they worked really hard to become the elders, but now there is a new elder, so they have to become grandchildren again.

When Lin Jiang saw Lin Die, he wasn’t as excited as Lin Ying. Maybe because he has lived for so long, his personality has become more reserved, able to stay calm even in big situations.

Lin Jiang simply asked Lin Die some questions, without discussing what Lin Die had been doing all these years.

Lin Ying brought out some fine wine, got drunk that night and didn’t want to sober up. Lin Jiang had Big Shadiao take Lin Ying away to rest.

"Sixth Brother"

"Third Sister"

"Having a lot of questions inside can make you feel very uncomfortable. It’s better to speak them out."

"Okay, are you really the Third Sister?"

Lin Jiang said, looking at the person in front of him who looked like Lin Die but not quite, his intuition told him.

"Why do you think I am not?"

"Intuition."

"Intuition can deceive."

"I hope intuition will deceive me, but it doesn’t. Just give me an answer."

"I am Lin Die, Lin Die’s soul, devoted to the Lin family. Isn’t that enough? Like how you were once called Xiao Yi, but I still see you as a son of the Lin family."

"The words are right, but how can I be sure you are telling the truth."

"Then I ask you, is there anything worth scheming for in the Lin family for me?"

"No, you shouldn’t desire the Lin family now."

"That’s right, the Lin family is your honey, but not mine."

Lin Die smiled a bit and said. She prefers honey while I prefer poison, maybe that’s a bit harsh, but she really doesn’t like the Lin family.

"I hope so, as long as you don’t harm the Lin family, you are my dearest Third Sister."

"Haha, okay."

Lin Die laughed and agreed.

With that topic touched upon, the conversation ended. There were issues in the Lin family, with Lin Die and Lin Jiang both having their own problems, but they all understood each other without saying it out loud, perhaps for the sake of keeping it a secret.

Lin Ying may know about Lin Die’s issues, but she won’t expose them. She will try hard to cover up this lie, as having a brother and a sister is the most important thing in her life. She prefers to live in a lie.

Illusionary happiness is still happiness.

Lin Jiang asked Zhou Huaiying for the Overlord Spear, Lin Batian’s treasured weapon of immeasurable value, which was a symbol of Lin Batian’s hopes for his children. However, Zhou Huaiying couldn’t produce it as his true form was destroyed, and everything he carried was taken by the Tao Achieving, which angered Lin Jiang and led to him beating Zhou Huaiying up again.

From then on, Zhou Huaiying endured three days of a rough time.

Since Lin Die came back, Lin Ying started to do whatever she wanted. She left all the little things in the Lin family to Lin Dingshan and others, not caring at all. Every day, she took Lin Die and Lin Jiang on trips around Yun State riding Big Shadiao.

Lin Die and Lin Jiang followed Lin Ying’s lead, playing with her all day long. Among the Lin family’s second generation, Lin Ying is now the youngest. Both Lin Jiang and Lin Die are willing to spoil Lin Ying, even if her intelligence seems to have regressed to the level of Big Shadiao.

Spoiling her own sister.

·······

Cao Ying made a breakthrough and became the first Tao Achieving in Zhonghang Sect history. After Xia Qingshan left, she secluded herself. It’s unclear if Lin Jiang’s promises and lies dispelled her Heart Demon, or if Xia Qingshan’s gift played a role, but she made a breakthrough nonetheless.

Cao Ying’s breakthrough seemed to boost the confidence of the entire Yun State. Everyone stood taller and spoke louder.

One of Yun State’s features, the Heavenly Wall, disappeared. It wasn’t completely gone but temporarily lifted. Yun State no longer needed Li Yuncheng’s full protection. This hero of Yun State could finally take a break.

"Your Third Sister is quite scary. She gives me a heart-pounding feeling," Cao Ying told Lin Jiang.

After meeting Lin Die, Cao Ying spoke to Lin Jiang.

"Me too, I don’t know what she is." ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Aren’t you afraid?"

"As long as she doesn’t harm Lin Ying, it’s all good."

"I’m afraid she’ll harm you, your lifespan…"

"My lifespan may be tempting to many, but to a small few, it might not matter much."

Lin Jiang calmly said, much like Xia Qingshan, showing little interest in his own lifespan. Of course, Lin Jiang also preferred Lin Die’s current state, unable to see through his lifespan, similar to how even the powerful Yang Luo back then could only guess that his lifespan was very long.

"Be careful, if something happens, my strength may not be able to help you."

"Okay, I understand."

"The cultivation world is going through changes again, right?"

"Each generation has its own mission, we can’t avoid it, and we don’t have the ability to stop it."

Lin Jiang remained calm about it, he was prepared to face the turmoil of the cultivation world.

Currently, there is a strong sense of war in the cultivation world, not between cultivators, but with the demon clan. The demon clan has become more aggressive over the past few hundred years, targeting the human race entering the Wilderness for extermination. The human race suffered heavy losses for a while, with many Wilderness bases being cleared out.

The human forces in the Wilderness were eliminated and expelled, leading to a significant reduction in the human race’s resources in the cultivation world. The prices kept rising, causing great losses to the human race.

But after three hundred years of strengthening by Xia Qingshan, the human race’s strength greatly increased again. The human race became restless, sending people continuously to the Wilderness to intensify the development, worsening the conflicts between the two sides. It was clear to everyone that a fight would break out sooner or later.

This was the overall situation in the cultivation world, and Lin Jiang was powerless to stop it. He didn’t even want to try to stop it. It wasn’t his concern – he would deal with it when the time came.

"When the nest is overturned, how can there be any unbroken eggs? Yun State also borders the Wilderness."

"Don’t think too much. We’ve finally had some good days, let’s live them well."

Lin Jiang shook his head. He really didn’t want to worry about it anymore, he just wanted to enjoy some good days while his loved ones were still around, avoiding any more troubles.

After hearing this, Cao Ying didn’t say anything else. Maybe Lin Jiang is right, we should live our lives well.

"Brother, come here quickly!"

Lin Ying in the distance waved to the two of them, next to her was a piece of cloth with food spread out on it, today they were playing in the wild.

"Lin Ying, it feels like we’ve gone back to our childhood."

"Yes, our intelligence has also gone back to our childhood. Lately, we’ve been reminiscing about our childhood."

Lin Jiang said that camping was something he did with Lin Ying in the first two years after they met, and now she was revisiting those memories.

"What about me? When will you take me back to our childhood?"

"Are you just trying to join in on the fun?"

"Can’t I? Can’t you share a little bit of your love for Lin Ying with me too?"

"Small Shadiao didn’t come back in the Wilderness, no way."

Lin Jiang felt scared, one Lin Ying was enough for him, now another Cao Ying, is the Yun State’s top officials’ intelligence collectively regressing?

Cao Ying’s gaze suddenly became resentful, Lin Jiang quickly fled, unable to withstand it.

"Bro, look, all of these are what we used to eat when we were kids."

Lin Ying grabbed Lin Jiang’s hand, showed him a bunch of food on the ground, all of which she loved to eat as a child.

Lin Jiang nodded, looked at Lin Die, who was also the same as when she was a child, aloof, watching Lin Ying busy around.

"Let’s start eating."

Big Shadiao had long been eager to eat, seeing Lin Jiang come back, she dove into the food and refused to come out, quickly finishing everything, making Lin Ying furious.

"It’s great, your childhood was so happy."

Cao Ying watched this scene with envy. Although her childhood was also happy, she didn’t have so many playmates. And after so many years, they were still around.

"That wasn’t really childhood, we were already grown up back then."

"Yes, Cao Ying, at that time, Lin Ying was so annoying, always sneaking off to the manor to slack off."

Big Shadiao added that at that time we were actually not that young. We were already starting our practices. The second generation of the Lin family was also very ambitious because they had to compete for favor in front of Lin Batian.

Lin Die’s eyes welled up with tears as her thoughts traveled back to a long time ago. Her heart was filled with emotions, what a wonderful past it was, but it was gone forever.
