Chapter 330 - Overjoyed (1/2)

Proofread by Claire.KK

Young Ke hummed, but did not deny it.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Was it because of this young man? You don’t need to deny it. But in my opinion, it’ll happen sooner or later by your temperament even without this young man.”

Lin Xun was completely shocked and deterred by the unbelievable wisdom he showed. It was amazing that the middle-aged man guessed almost correctly of what had just happened in just a few words.

However, Young Ke changed the subject and said, “Vulture, this is Lin Xun, one of the students who successfully graduated from the Bloodthirsty Camp the year before.”

Vulture!

It turned out he was the owner of Vulture House!

Lin Xun immediately went forward and said, “Elder.”

Vulture smiled lightly, “Well, it must be Shu Sanqi who gave you the lead to find me here. Then you’re not an outsider.”

Lin Xun immediately sighed, “Your Elder has such a discerning eye that it is impossible for me to not admire you.”

Vulture smiled and said, “Give me the hairpin then.”

Lin pondered for a while, then came to his sense instantly and took out the silver hairpin Shu Sanqi had given him and handed it to him.

Vulture gently rubbed the hairpin, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes, and didn’t speak until after quite a while, “There must be something you want from me if you come here with this hairpin. Tell me, what you want me to do for you.”

Before Lin could open his mouth, Young Ke stepped forward and whispered his situation in details to Vulture.

Finished, Vulture unexpectedly wore a face of solemnness, and said, “Sorry, I didn’t realize you should be the direct descendant of Daochen Elder.”

Daochen Elder, with no doubt, could only be the great-grandfather of Lin!

What Lin did not expect was that Vulture seemed to have extreme respect for his great-grandfather that he even showed great respect for himself.

“To be honest, Elder, I didn’t know about my background until yesterday. You won’t believe it, but I know nothing about my great-grandfather.”

Lin said with shame.

“Well, let’s get down to business. I already know roughly about you, but I’m still not sure whether you deserve my help.”

There was full of calmness in Vulture’s eyes, which seemed to have the power of seeing through people’s mind. “After all, you know, even if I help you, there’ll be a lot of unpredictable dangers in store for you, and I need you to prove that you are capable of taking on such kind of responsibility.”

“How?”

Lin asked.

“You’ve only reached the Earth-gang Realm, so it would be asking too much if I test your cultivation. But tell me, what will you do if you’re in charge of Heart-cleansing Peak?”

Vulture spoke in a slow pace, with his bright eyes staring at Lin, and making Lin feel unspeakable oppression.

Young Ke said nothing more at the moment and looked at Lin with expecting eyes.

She also noticed that this was a test from Vulture. If Lin could pass it, he would certainly obtain the help from Vulture.

But if he couldn’t …

He could only leave alone!

“First to solve the internal troubles.”

Lin answered without hesitation. He had already thought about this question countless times last night.

“But how?”

Vulture continued asking, growing serener and exerting an unspeakably oppressing majesty.

Lin replied in a low voice, “First stabilize the foundation, then accumulate strength, and at last launch a strike.”

Vulture shook his head, seeming dissatisfied. “It’s too general. It’s obvious that you don’t have a specific plan at present.”

Stunned, Lin replied, “In my opinion, it is far from the concrete layout at present.”

Vulture gave out a sound of interest and said, “I would like to hear the reasons.”

Lin said quickly, “My only advantage at present is the legitimacy as the direct heir of Lin Family, which means I can rightly take over Heart-cleansing Peak. On this point, I’ve been way ahead of the rest members of Family Lin.”

Vulture nodded, “It’s got to be legitimate, which is very crucial.”

Lin had a slight smile and continued, “However, my situation is not very optimistic. I have neither money nor hands. I’ve only got myself. But I’m not famous or strong, far from convincing others.”

With a touch of appreciation in his eyes, Vulture concluded by his words that Lin was not just a talker.

It was not hard to know your enemy, but it was often difficult to know yourself. In fact, the most difficult thing for a practitioner to understand was himself.

It was extremely rare for being at his age to be able to examine and analyze himself and to make sober and calm judgments.

“So, I intend to start to change from myself before dealing with the internal troubles. And when I have the ability to take care of the big picture, I will then make specific plans.”

Lin took a deep breath and said what he really thought.
