Chapter 12 Home to return to

The young man was overjoyed and happy that he won't be taking care of the troublemaker any longer.

'Snort. Now no one would barge into my room at night and steal my late-night snack again! I sure hope you enjoy your stay there. Ha-ha'

"Ancestor. That...would the child really be alright?"

The mother of the teenager asked the old ancestor. They were initially worried about it but seeing that the ceremony went without a problem, they finally let out their breath.

But they didn't expect that at the final moment before the space collapse were gone, the young Qilin would suddenly intrude onto the platform and got transmitted too.

Everyone here had discerning and sharp eye. They saw the whole process.

And what's more mysterious was that the spirit tree has bestow another fruit onto the platform. They had never heard the spirit tree bestowing two or more fruit to a single child.

This is not because the spirit tree was stingy but rather because the fruit given is the most appropriate that correspond child's attribute.

Even if the child has many attributes compared to others, there's some fruits on the tree that correspond to each possible combination of attribute. So, there's no need to bestow a second one.

However, that was clearly the Elemental Jade Fruit. Although they didn't notice when the tree had thrown it down on the platform. But there can be no mistake. It was indeed that fruit.

And at that moment when everyone was dumbfounded, they clearly saw the shadow had arrived on the front of the fruit. It was as if it knew the fruit was for him.

Though before it had time to take and eat it, the space collapse had haul them to the other side.

"Cough...They should be alright," even the old ancestor was dumbfounded to see the incident just now.

"The spirit tree seems to have the intention to send that guy over too. Otherwise, it would not give out another fruit."

"That's true. Plus, the places that the children of the clan were sent to, were all prosperous sects and places that were friendly to us."

"And as our allies, they were ones who had influence great influence even in star territory. It's not just any mediocre people can be our allies. With the aid from the people on the other side, the children safety had always been guaranteed." the grandfather also said with a smile.

"Wife. Rest assured. He will be fine. It's not like you don't know his ability," the teenage father said.

"Unless he was sent into some beast or dragon's den, or bandit's den, he should be fine. As one of Lin Clan's core disciple candidate, we had already trained and taught him as much as we can."

"He should have all the skills he needs to survive out there. We should believe in him and waits for his return," he said with a smile.

If the teenager was here, he would certainly scold his father's crow mouth: Don't set up such a scary horrifying death flag!

"Mom! Dad! Why are you here? Did the little brother already finished his coming-of-age ceremony?"

At this moment a male voice could be heard from the depth of the dome building. From the inside dome building there were two figures walking outside, towards the group

The dome building was built by joining with the pavilion building. The two building was called main building.

It's the place where the Lin Family's high levels handle official matters. Deep inside the dome building, there's several bidirectional transmission channels allowing family members who went outside the area to return to earth once they finished their task.

The Lin Family's actual influence was not on earth but proliferate throughout the stars. They are a clan that sent their youngster to foreign lands once they reached 16 years old.

In foreign lands, they would be nurtured and trained by the harsh reality there until they were capable enough to return home by themselves. Once they survived and returned, they would be acknowledged as a true member and disciple of the Lin Clan.

No longer a mere common world Lin Family's member, but cultivator world Lin Clan disciple. And these two young people, the eldest daughter and elder brother of the teenager were among the current young generation of cultivators of the Lin Clan.

"Ah the garden's already empty! That's why I said you should finish your work faster," a female voice complaining was heard afterwards.

"And who was it that said time was enough? I've already told you that you should go and return home directly from your place there. Why do you have to come over to my place?" the male voice argued back.

"But didn't we promised to go back together to surprise little brother together?" said the female regretfully.

"That is before. Now is different."

"Anyway, mom, dad, grandfather, great grandfather, Uncle Frank, uncle. We're back."

This base, this mountain, this piece of land and this earth itself, are the Lin Clan hidden headquarters. Controlling one of the only eight ancient sanctuaries on earth, they had firmly grasped the Master's inheritance and hide themselves deep in the shadows.

The Lin Clan's founding ancestor once have had a stroke of luck and blessing to receive the Master's teaching. With hard work and dedication, he finally becomes one generation of powerhouse and one of Master's most successful disciple.

One day after receiving the duty entrusted to him by the Master, the founding ancestor had opened his own family clan and begin assuming the role of caretaker.

And as his descendant slowly grows the generations after generations, they all inherit the responsibility of a caretaker. Over time they proliferate throughout the star region.

The world only knows that the Lin Clan's disciples walk everyone in the entire star region. But they never know the origin of this millenniums-old clan.

After millenniums of development, the clan official disciple number had reach tens of thousands. The clan even have almost a million people in the branch and servant families in foreign lands.

Despite the expansion of the clan, the Lin Clan had always regarded here as their headquarters.

The final bastion that they were meant to protect.

The home to return to.

That's why even though the core disciple of the clan would be sent to the frontier, they would still take some of their time to return to the family.

Only if all their immediate family members were already gone, or were still posted outside, that they would rarely come back. But even then, occasionally they would return to see their ancestral home and remember their roots.

The group of six people looked towards the two. The pair of man and woman was wearing graceful clothes and robes.

These two had been away to the foreign land to manage the Lin Clan's business there.

Recently some troubling matter needed their attention that it had been two years since they came back.

"Daughter. Son. Did you just come back? Look how thin you are. Didn't you eat properly?" the mother look over carefully and felt distress seeing the conditions of her dear daughter and son were in.

Although cultivators and practitioners have better and more powerful body, when they overworked themselves, they would still be fell sick and dispirited.
