They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

Nangong Xu’s sword didn’t reach Lin Mo but was blocked by both Lin Nantian and Lin Zhan.

“Young master of the Nangong family, do you realize this is Lin territory? Are you seeking death?”

Lin Nantian returned to his status as the head of the Lin family.

His anger was unspeakable at this moment, and his aura at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage left Nangong Xu frozen in place, unable to move.

The Lin family was still obedient to Lin Nantian’s commands.

With this move, the Lins, young and old, surrounded Nangong Xu’s people.

Nangong Xu also came to his senses, realizing he had forgotten where he was.

“Head of the Lin family, do you really intend to strike us?” Nangong Xu said.

“It was you who struck first. Even if it means making enemies with your Nangong family and Xuanming Hall, I can slay you right now,” Lin Nantian’s intent to kill was clear, with not a hint of jest.

“Senior sister…” Jiang Yanran tugged at the sleeve of the girl in white.

The girl in white understood her ‘disciple’s’ intention, wanting to save Nangong Xu, but Lin Mo spoke up first, “Grandfather, let them leave.”

Lin Mo was never an impulsive person.

But just now, there was indeed an emotional outburst, as if he truly merged with the original host’s feelings.

He had taken on everything the original host experienced as his own.

That’s why he was so extreme just now.

Although cursing felt indeed satisfying, it was his personal grudge with Nangong Xu and Jiang Yanran.

If it really came to a fight, having Lin Nantian kill Nangong Xu would escalate to a feud between the great families.

At this moment, the Lin family was no match for the Nangong and Xia families, not to mention they had the support of a first-class immortal sect behind them.

Lin Mo didn’t want the Lin family to pay for his momentary anger.

The girl in white’s beautiful eyes lingered on Lin Mo again, such a high-minded spirit he had…

But what a pity, such a great pity.

The Nangong and Xia families left together, with Nangong Xu giving Lin Mo a deep look, clear murderous intent in his eyes.

But Lin Mo didn’t care.

Today was just a minor episode.

It made him realize the true nature of Jiang Yanran.

It was just a momentary impulse that made him forget to ask Jiang Yanran for compensation again.

Such a loss.

Lin Mo’s gaze turned cold again, never mind, he would personally retrieve his ‘belongings’ from Jiang Yanran when he went to the secret realm of the demon race.

In the Lin family hall, everyone’s gaze stayed on Lin Mo.

Different from the beginning, a large part of the younger generation now looked at him with awe.

Just the momentum of Lin Mo questioning Jiang Yanran had them all still shivering.

Not to mention them, even some of the Lin family elders felt the same.

Today’s birthday banquet for Lin Nantian ended in this eerie atmosphere.

…

At night, Lin Nantian called Lin Mo and Lin Zhan to his room.

Inside the room, the dim candlelight cast serious expressions on the faces of Lin Nantian and Lin Zhan.

Without waiting for them to ask, Lin Mo took the initiative, “Ask whatever you want.”

Lin Zhan spoke first, “Mo’er, what exactly is your cultivation level?”

He couldn’t understand why, when Lin Mo was angry, even he felt a twinge of fear, unable to move.

This question was also on Lin Nantian’s mind.

He didn’t feel anything special, just that his grandson’s aura seemed more terrifying than some Yuanying.

Other than guessing Lin Mo was concealing his cultivation level, they couldn’t think of any other reason.

Lin Mo didn’t answer the question but instead asked, “I wonder if father and grandfather have ever heard of the Flawless Golden Core.”

Lin Zhan and Lin Nantian stared at each other, both shaking their heads.

Lin Mo wasn’t surprised by this reaction.

The system had said, in this secondary world, he was the first with a Flawless Golden Core.

“Father, grandfather, you can consider the quality of the Golden Core I’ve formed to be above the ninth grade,” Lin Mo explained in simpler terms.

Lin Nantian and Lin Zhan were both shocked.

Those who had formed ninth-grade Golden Cores were few and far between in the entire cultivation world.

The old ancestor of the Spirit Sword Sect, Jian Chi, and the palace master of the Hanbing Palace, Gu Qianxue.

Chu Tiange, the sealed old demon ancestor, also had a ninth-grade Demon Core.

Beyond that, they knew no others.

To think that these powerful beings had once formed ninth-grade Golden Cores, each now a major figure in their own right.

How terrifying it would be for someone with a Golden Core above the ninth grade.

They didn’t doubt Lin Mo’s words.

Firstly, there was no reason for Lin Mo to deceive them, and they had all felt his aura, comparable to a Yuanying, even in the early stages of his Golden Core.

If not for Lin Mo’s claim of a Golden Core above the ninth grade, they could think of no other explanation.

Lin Mo only intended to reveal so much; he had no plans to disclose anything about his physique, spiritual roots, or his cultivation of demonic arts.

Even in the face of his closest kin, he had to be cautious.

Perhaps they wouldn’t voluntarily expose this secret, but what if they encountered a cultivator capable of extracting memories and were forced to reveal it?

This was the cultivation world, filled with countless unknown dangers.

He still had to act cautiously.

Lin Mo also knew that his grandfather, Lin Nantian, wanted to return to the Lin family in the higher realms.

But not now, for his current strength was not yet sufficient to protect himself in the higher realms, and who knew if the Lin family there would harbor hostility towards him.

After sharing his thoughts with his father and grandfather, Lin Nantian also expressed no urgency.

With his grandson’s talent, returning to the higher realms was only a matter of time.

Moreover, now that Lin Mo had given him a fifth-grade Life Extension Pill, he wasn’t too worried about his own lifespan.

…..

Returning to his room, Lin Mo could now rest assured that his parents would not suffer.

Currently, Grandfather Lin Nantian remains the head of the family, and with his father regaining his strength, at least the relatives won’t be ostracized by the clan anymore.

At that time, the original master joined the Qingling Sect as a backing for his parents.

Now that this issue at home has been resolved, he naturally could consider leaving the Qingling Sect.

After all, during this time, he was disgusted by most people there, and it’s unknown how the original master managed to make everyone on Qingzhu Peak so agreeable.

In the following days, as Lin Zhan’s hidden illness was cured, Lin Nantian learned of his grandson’s affairs and naturally began to accept Gu Ningxin as his daughter-in-law. Lin Zhan also gradually started to take over various matters in the family.

Of course, the elders of the Lin family had no reason to oppose Lin Nantian’s decision.

After all, in terms of seniority and strength, Lin Zhan now holds considerable weight in the Lin family.

Nangong Xu also sent over the compensation that Lin Mo had mentioned on the second day.

None of this compensation was taken by Lin Mo; instead, it was all used as reserve resources for the Lin family to enhance the overall strength of the clan.

Mainly because those things were not of much use to Lin Mo himself.

And it was this decision of Lin Mo that won the favor of many in the Lin family, and the elders’ attitude towards Lin Mo improved by several degrees.

After all, fundamentally, those elders, like Lin Nantian, hoped for the Lin family to do better and return to the upper realm’s main house sooner.
