Grand Elder Xiao's Thought

Patriarch Lin then looked at Qin Tian with a wry smile.

"Y-young master," he said with a trembling voice.

Before he could say more, Qin Tian raised his hand, signaling not to continue.

"There's no need to rush, I'll wait," he said.

Actually, the Grand Angel Body only began to be cultivated when he reached the Spiritual Master Realm, so obtaining it now was also pointless.

For now, he was better off focusing on practicing, improving his cultivation and mastering more techniques.

Patriarch Lin let out a sigh of relief after hearing his words. However, he thought Lin Bao really needed to be severely punished because his deeds caused the clan's service to Qin Tian to be less impressive.

When he thought about that, Qin Tian suddenly glared at Lin Bao, causing the latter to fall into a slump.

"Y-young master, please forgive me, I'm ready to do anything." He quickly begged, kowtowing to him again.

In fact, he even started crying as if he had lost his mother.

"Since it was you who reported my whereabouts, your mistake is forgiven," Qin Tian said, which left Lin Bao stunned.

After which, he quickly banged his head against the floor.

"Thank you, young master..." He said.

The bystanders didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

They didn't expect there to be a dog who was good at barking in their clan.

"Right, I want you to come with me to take care of things," Qin Tian added.

This time, Lin Bao's eyes opened.

He pointed at himself as he said, "am I young master?"

"Yes..." Qin Tian nodded lightly.

He chose him because he felt he would always obey him and do his every order quickly, nothing more than that.

Whether he was wrong or not was another matter, what mattered now was that he needed someone to take care of the various things he needed. Plus, he also needs various information in this world. From the traits Lin Bao had shown so far, one could conclude that he was the kind of person who knew a lot of things.

Qin Tian's nod made Lin Bao feel like his soul was floating, he was like a person who dreamed for a long time and finally his dream had been realized.

"Huh!"

Lin Hu snorted softly as he watched Lin Bao's behavior, he was getting more and more dismissive towards him.

After that, Qin Tian looked at Patriarch Lin.

"I'll stay in your clan for a while," he told him.

Patriarch Lin was naturally very happy, something that was beyond his control.

"We will definitely serve you in the best way possible, young master. Whatever you want, we will try our best to fulfill it." He excitedly replied.

Then, he seemed to remember something. "Right, do you need some maids?" he asked.

However, Qin Tian responded by shaking his head.

"This young man is enough," he replied while glancing at Lin Bao.

He then said to him, "escort me to my residence!"

Hearing that, the young man quickly pointed his hand outside the hall with a polite gesture.

"P-please follow me, young master!" He said.

Qin Tian instantly stepped after him, leaving that hall.

When he was gone, the Lin Clan members could finally heave a sigh of relief.

"This boy is truly full of divinity," the Grand Elder said in a low voice.

The others looked at him and nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, Patriarch Lin could finally calm down.

He didn't let out a sigh of relief, but looked up at the sky through the window.

"If Heaven truly helps and protects him, then no matter what happens later, my Lin Clan can definitely deal with it," he said.

Of course, he knew that they would face many problems. It's something that can't be avoided when there's a big thing on your side.

The Xiao Clan, for example, immediately came into conflict with them.

After some time, there would probably be more parties in conflict with them — from other clans or nearby sects.

He only hoped to continue facing them. He knew that if they managed to survive, there was a possibility that their clan could rise further.

***

The Xiao Clan is very busy right now, and in addition to welcoming their cousins, they are also discussing plans to capture Qin Tian and then seize his talent at any cost.

However, unbeknownst to them, there was something uncomfortable about that plan.

In a house right next to Patriarch Xiao's house, Grand Elder Xiao who was now in his own home couldn't stop moving, he kept going back and forth, whether to the kitchen, room, or living room.

What made him uncomfortable was of course what his own clan was doing.

He was worried that if they continued to do this, the result that awaited them would be destruction.

He had such thoughts because he felt Qin Tian was truly a son of Heaven even though he'd never heard of such a thing.

However, his instincts kept telling him that.

Click!

The door to his house opened and a young man walked in.

He had short hair and was dressed like he was a martial arts expert.

"Grandfather, is there anything?" the young man asked as he approached the Grand Elder.

He was his grandson, Xiao Zhu, the second best genius in the clan.

In fact, he can compete with Lin Hu.

"Zhu, quickly sit down!" The Grand Elder pointed at the wooden chair in front of him.

The curious Xiao Zhu sat down immediately. He was very familiar with his grandfather, so he didn't need to do formal things like saluting.

"Zhu, will you follow me no matter what?" The Grand Elder asked, a question that confused Xiao Zhu.

"Of course I will continue to follow you, grandfather. What exactly do you want to do?" Xiao Zhu narrowed his eyes, he could see his grandfather's strangeness very clearly.

Of course, if he was asked whether he would choose his grandfather or anyone else in this clan, he would definitely prefer his grandfather since he was the closest person to him.

To him, loyalty was secondary, the number one being family.

"I want you to meet that Son of Heaven," the Grand Elder replied.

"What?" Although prepared, Xiao Zhu was still surprised.

If his grandfather had told him to do something to Qin Tian, he wouldn't have been so surprised, but he could see something as if his grandfather wanted to build a relationship with Qin Tian.

It was clearly with good intentions, which could be seen from the title he used to refer to Qin Tian.

"Grandpa, are you sure?" asked Xiao Zhu.

"Tell him that I want to help him, and I'll keep him informed of the Xiao Clan's every plan," Grand Elder continues without answering Xiao Zhu's question.

The latter took a deep breath.

"Grandpa, why did you choose this path?" Xiao Zhu would still follow his grandfather, but he still wanted to know the reason because this could be considered a betrayal of the Xiao Clan.

"Ever since Xiao Long led the clan, the clan has continued to do wrong things, he has also often ignored my advice. And there is no doubt that challenging the Son of Heaven would be the biggest mistake. He wants to do that, but I don't want to be ruined by following him." The Grand Elder finally told his grandson the reason.

In essence he firmly believed only ruin awaited if they challenged Qin Tian.

Xiao Zhu wanted to ask why he was so sure about that, but he finally chose to keep his mouth shut because his grandfather's faith was based on the belief that Qin Tian was truly the Son of Heaven.

While he was silent, the Grand Elder continued again. "Have you ever seen someone break through three times from mortal to Late Junior Spiritual Stage?"

The question naturally made Xiao Zhu shake his head. It took him several years to pass through the three stages himself.

"Alright, just listen to what I have to say... You may not know, but the Lin Clan has a history so deep that it's impossible to trace back."

"Grandpa, I'll do as you say," Xiao Zhu replied.

After thinking about it, he also thought his grandfather's words made sense.

The others didn't think that way because they were too selfish, full of pride and greed.
