 Chapter 3231: It's Impossible to Have No Self-Interest

Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha's sudden arrival in this small village stunned all the villagers.

This wasn't just a manifestation, but a personal descent.

Usually, Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha rarely moved about in person. Once he appeared, it must be for something important.

When Little Mei and her mother came out, they saw villagers kneeling everywhere, each with a face full of devotion.

Little Mei's mother immediately knelt down as well, trying to pull Little Mei down with her.

However, this time Little Mei didn't kneel. Her small figure stood firmly and stubbornly.

Looking at this, Little Mei gave people a feeling that her status was even higher than Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha.

Lin Moyu said, "Dragon Subduing, I want to take Little Mei as my disciple. I called you here to be a guarantor."

He spoke without any courtesy, directly calling Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha by name, surprising everyone.

In ordinary people's eyes, this was a great disrespect to Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha. After all, this was Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha's Buddha nation. Even if a greater Buddha came, they would maintain basic respect.

But Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha didn't show any temper, "Being taken as a disciple by the sir is her good fortune."

He said to Little Mei, "The sir has great abilities. Little Mei has encountered a great opportunity. Rather than living a mediocre life, it's better to cultivate well and seek longevity."

Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha's words were like a decree.

No matter how reluctant Little Mei's mother was in her heart, she nodded repeatedly, "Everything will be as the Nation Lord says."

Lin Moyu waved his hand to dismiss people, "Alright, I'll handle the rest personally. You can go back if you have nothing else. I'll call you if needed."

"Amitabha!" Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha gave Lin Moyu a grand salute before riding brilliant Buddhist light back to his Buddha hall.

Lin Moyu felt that this half-fake Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha acted quite well, thinking to himself, "It seems revenants aren't just for fighting. Perhaps my thinking can be broader."

A good while after Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha left, the villagers dared to stand up.

Their eyes were full of awe when looking at Lin Moyu. Someone who could summon Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha at will was beyond their comparison.

These villagers didn't even dare to come up and greet Lin Moyu or say hello.

Lin Moyu said, "I heard Little Mei's father's legs were broken?"

Little Mei's mother, now full of awe towards Lin Moyu, carefully said, "In response to sir, Little Mei's father was injured while hunting and had to have both legs amputated."

"Take me to see him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Little Mei was the first to say, "Big brother, follow me!"

She pulled Lin Moyu towards the house. Only Little Mei wasn't afraid of Lin Moyu, unlike the others.

Little Mei knew Lin Moyu had great divine abilities. Perhaps her father could be saved.

Inside the house, a middle-aged man lay on the bed, both legs amputated from the thighs down.

The middle-aged man was currently in a deep sleep. Little Mei said, "Big brother, since father lost his legs, he's been sleeping longer and longer, and awake less and less."

Lin Moyu's glance was enough to understand the situation. Little Mei's father's leg injury was only external; the real injury was to his soul.

What injured him wasn't an ordinary beast, but a spirit beast.

Although amputating his legs saved his life, his soul was injured, naturally causing him to sleep more and be awake less.

In this situation, just keeping his life was already incredibly lucky.

In Lin Moyu's view, this couldn't be separated from Little Mei.

Little Mei's vast destiny benefited her family, allowing her father to miraculously survive.

Little Mei carefully asked, "Big brother, can my father still be cured?"

Lin Moyu patted Little Mei's head, "It's a small matter."

He flicked out a spirit flower, which blossomed and enveloped Little Mei's father.

If it were just a physical injury, the power of life would be enough to restore him.

But now there was a soul injury, so Lin Moyu decisively chose to use a spirit flower.

For ordinary people, the effect of a spirit flower was like a miracle.

In just a moment, the spirit flower completed its mission and then dissipated.

The middle-aged man on the bed had his legs fully restored, and his soul was completely healed.

Seeing such a miraculous thing, Little Mei's mother was stunned speechless.

Little Mei's brother was also staring with big eyes, murmuring, "The legs grew back."

Little Mei happily exclaimed, "Big brother is so amazing!"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Little Mei will be just as amazing in the future."

Little Mei's eyes were full of longing, "Really?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Of course, even more amazing."

If Little Mei had any hesitation before about following Lin Moyu, after all, she was still just a ten-year-old child, and leaving her parents made her a bit uneasy.

But now, she was determined to become as powerful as Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu saw this in Little Mei's eyes, "Little Mei's father will wake up soon. Your family should have a good talk. I'll come to pick up Little Mei in three days."

After saying this, Lin Moyu's figure dissipated.

After Lin Moyu left, Little Mei's mother finally burst into tears.

These years, she had endured too much. Now everything was finally alright.

Amidst the crying, Little Mei's father slowly woke up.

...

Lin Moyu hadn't gone far, just hiding in mid-air.

For him, these things were all trivial matters.

With a thought, he could bring down sweet dew to bless the village, or in another thought, completely shatter the entire village.

Not just this village, if he got slightly angry, the entire Buddha nation would collapse.

The reason for going to such lengths was to make Little Mei completely at ease.

He needed Little Mei to follow him in cultivation wholeheartedly, without any reservations, and willingly.

Only in this way could Little Mei's destiny benefit him to the maximum.

Lin Moyu knew he had self-interest. At this level of cultivation, it was impossible to have no self-interest. Lin Moyu never considered himself a completely benevolent person.

Everything he did naturally had a purpose.

But for Little Mei, doing this was beneficial for both parties.

Otherwise, Little Mei might waste her life here, which would mean her dissolution and reincarnation had failed.

Moreover, even if Little Mei could step on the path of cultivation, she would likely walk the Buddhist path, but dissolution and reincarnation was a method of human Dao Venerables.

A Dao Venerable reincarnating and then turning to Buddhist methods would be laughable.

So Lin Moyu didn't mind wasting a bit of time and using some methods to make Little Mei sincerely follow him in cultivation.

Little Mei's father's full recovery became the biggest joy for Little Mei's family in recent years.

After learning about everything, Little Mei's father fully supported Little Mei in becoming an apprentice.

Although leaving home was hard, compared to Little Mei's future, it was nothing.

As parents, as long as their child was doing well, that was enough.

Little Mei's whole family supported her following Lin Moyu to cultivate and have her own brilliant life.

Seeing this, Lin Moyu knew this matter was settled!

Three days later, Lin Moyu appeared again at Little Mei's home. After a farewell, Little Mei performed the grand ceremony of becoming a disciple in front of everyone, bowing three times and kowtowing nine times to Lin Moyu.

With Lin Moyu's personality, he originally didn't like this kind of thing.

When he took Little Moon as a disciple back then, it was very casual.

But this time was different. This time, the grand ceremony of becoming a disciple couldn't be avoided.

Not only could it not be avoided, but it had to be done very formally.

The moment Little Mei completed the discipleship ceremony, invisible mist suddenly appeared around Lin Moyu, and the Destiny Great Dao naturally emerged.

Little Mei's vast destiny fell onto him, and his own destiny rapidly increased.
