Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 97: Disciple Recruitment - Ruthless Empress Template! Great Power

Those who meet the criteria to be directly designated as personal disciples!

Although Qiu Yongqin, disguised as Li Feiyu, does not know the basis for this, he is well aware that Lin Fan values him greatly, as seen with Senior Sister Xiao Ling'er.

Am I also one of them?

And Senior Sister's experiences so far have already shown everything.

These kinds of people are beneficial to the development of the sect.

And they are of great use.

They must be brought back.

However, with Ya Ya's resolute attitude, it may require some effort to bring her back.

After a brief contemplation, Li Feiyu chuckled and asked, "Where are your family members?"

"I don't have any family, I only have my older brother!"

Ya Ya responded, but her big eyes were still fixed on the distance, as if her beloved brother would appear at the end of her sight in the next second.

The scenes of the two siblings relying on each other and the older brother taking care of her flashed through her mind, causing a faint smile to appear on her tense little face.

But this smile quickly disappeared.

"Uncle, if you have nothing to do, please step aside."

"I'm waiting for my brother to come back."

Li Feiyu's thoughts quickly turned.

This girl clearly intends to wait for her brother to return, and she is destined to become a personal disciple. It wouldn't be right for him to forcefully take her away, right?

Although a girl of her age may change her mind after a period of time, Li Feiyu feels that this girl's determination is extremely firm, which is different from ordinary girls.

Forcing her to go back would not be beneficial to the sect.

Therefore, he can only cater to her preferences.

Otherwise, it might be detrimental to the sect in the future.

As for catering to her preferences...

He pondered and said, "You're too young and all alone. How do you survive?"

"I beg for a living."

"But because I have to wait for my brother, I beg very little."

After all, she is a young girl. How can she be happy when she is hungry all day?

But her belief in waiting for her brother has kept her going.

Ya Ya finally lowered her head, but quickly smiled as if nothing had happened. "But as long as I can wait for my brother, I don't care about those things."

"Have you ever thought that you might not be able to hold on until he comes back?" Li Feiyu gently persuaded.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He always felt like a strange uncle trying to deceive a little girl.

"No, I can hold on!"

"I can endure it!"

"The body doesn't lie." Li Feiyu sighed softly. "Judging from your bone age, you should be six years old, right? Children of the same age as you should weigh more than twice as much and be much taller than you."

"Now you look like a three or four-year-old girl."

"With such a body, how long can you hold on?"

"One year, two years, ten years, a hundred years!"

Ya Ya firmly replied.

"Perhaps." Li Feiyu didn't deny it either.

After all, there is spiritual energy here, and even ordinary people can live for two hundred years with the nourishment of Essence Qi. Even if this girl eats less and is malnourished, she won't easily die due to physical weakness.

But... so what?

Li Feiyu continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, you might indeed be able to hold on for such a long time. But do you understand cultivators, the so-called immortals you mentioned?"

Ya Ya smiled and said, "Ya Ya made a promise with her brother. No matter what he becomes, he will not forget Ya Ya and will come back to find Ya Ya."

"I believe you, and I believe him."

"But you don't understand cultivators."

Li Feiyu squatted down and whispered, "In the mountains, there is no concept of time. The cold doesn't know the passing of years."

"That's what cultivators are like."

"For cultivators, time is just a number. The better their talent and the higher their cultivation level, the less valuable time becomes."

"Perhaps they will close up for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years at a time."

"But can you wait for him for that long?"

"Perhaps, when he achieves success in his cultivation and looks back, it will already be a thousand or ten thousand years later."

"At that time, the world may have changed drastically."

"Have you seen the peach blossoms not far away?"

"Perhaps even after ten thousand years, the peach blossoms will still be smiling in the spring breeze. But for ordinary people, ten thousand years is bound to be a time of change, and everything will come to an end."

"By then, you will have turned into a handful of yellow soil."

"Even if he comes back, what can you do?"

"Can you still see him?"

Ya Ya panicked for the first time.

Her trembling body revealed her fear, but she still said, "My brother promised that no matter what, he will never forget Ya Ya and will come back to see Ya Ya as soon as he has the chance!"

"I believe he will."

"But once a cultivator enters an Immortal Gate, they are no longer in control of their own fate."

"The stronger the Immortal Gate, the more so."

"Do you know which Immortal Gate he entered?"

Li Feiyu continued to ask.

Ya Ya fell silent, and after a moment, she said, "I heard that he entered a powerful Immortal Dynasty."

"What is an Immortal Dynasty?"

"An Immortal Dynasty?" Li Feiyu sighed. "An Immortal Dynasty is also a type of cultivation force, different from sects and clans. It is an empire!"

"Controlling vast lands, it houses countless talented individuals."

"Being noticed by the Immortal Dynasty's powerful figures is enough to prove that your brother has great talent."

"But the rules of the Immortal Dynasty are the most numerous and strict."

"He wants to come back, but it may be difficult in the short term."

"And by 'short term' I mean, for cultivators like you... it may be impossible to wait for your entire life."

"I don't want to!"

Yaya finally panicked.

Although her conviction was strong and she was certain that her brother wouldn't deceive her, she could also sense that the man in front of her wasn't lying, and she had already heard many mysterious legends about immortals.

She just didn't have a deep understanding, and these days, she didn't dare to inquire further.

She was afraid!

Afraid that she wouldn't be able to wait for her brother to return.

But at this moment, Lifei Yu forcefully tore apart the 'barrier' she had set up, forcing her to face reality.

This was somewhat cruel.

Lifey Yu felt somewhat reluctant, but then he thought that he hadn't done anything wrong.

Perhaps it was cruel to Yaya at this moment, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing!

If she wanted to wait for her brother, she had to stay alive.

And what he had to do was to help her become stronger and help her survive.

Cruel, but not harmful to her.

"Come with me."

"I will take you to cultivate."

Lifey Yu sighed, "To let you live longer and wait for your brother's return."

"You... are deceiving me."

Yaya instantly became wary, "Those people said that I have no talent! I can only be an ordinary person for my whole life. So, no matter how much my brother begs them, they refuse to take me with them."

"But you say you want to take me to cultivate?"

"You are a bad person!"

Lifey Yu: "..."

This girl is quite vigilant.

He wasn't embarrassed, he just shook his head and smiled, "I am not a bad person."

"What you said is not wrong, in my eyes, you indeed have no talent, and I can't see anything outstanding about you."

"But..."

"I know a place that might bring you a glimmer of 'hope'."

"Although I'm not a hundred percent sure, it's still better than waiting here day after day."

"Besides, if I were a bad person, why would I deceive you and go through all this trouble?"

"I am a cultivator, in this small place, there are not many who can match me. If I wanted to kill you, I only need a glance."

"Moreover, with just a glance, I can make you instantly lose consciousness and act according to my will, even if I make you crash to death, you won't have any chance to resist."

Yaya fell silent.

She was still young, but she understood this principle.

Indeed.

If the lofty immortals wanted to harm her, why would they go through the trouble of deceiving her?

She hesitated.

Cultivation?

She didn't have much desire for it, nor did she have high expectations.

But she didn't want to die.

She wanted to stay alive.

Not to become an immortal, but to wait for her brother's return in the mortal world!

"But... if I leave with you, what if my brother comes back and can't find me?"

"It's simple."

Lifey Yu saw Yaya loosen her grip and couldn't help but smile, "I will erect a stone monument here, writing that you left with me. If your brother returns, he can come and find me."

"In the future, I will surely make some reputation,"

"If he wants to find me when he returns, it shouldn't be difficult."

"But what if the stone monument is destroyed?!" The little girl was cautious.

"With my pressure here, there are not many people who dare to do that."

"And when you have achieved success in your cultivation, you can come back every once in a while to check if the stone monument is still there."

"That way, you won't have to worry about him not knowing where you went or not being able to find you."

Yaya pondered for a moment before finally nodding.

"Good!"

"But you have to erect the stone monument first before I leave with you."

She was clear in her heart.

Waiting like this, it's really... difficult.

Even if her brother doesn't wait until she dies to come back, she might not live to a ripe old age!

This world is full of dangers.

Only with strength can one survive.

Surviving, so that she can wait for her brother's return!

"Alright."

Lifey Yu didn't hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.

Then, he used his own magic to erect a stone monument, carving the agreed-upon content, and set up a not-so-powerful protective formation with materials.

Finally, he rose into the air, emitting the aura of the third realm.

"I am Lifey Yu!"

"The stone monument outside the city is left by me. Whoever dares to destroy it will be beheaded when they come!"

Many cultivators in the city trembled.

As mentioned before, this was just a small city.

"To call it a fairy city is a bit of an exaggeration.

A place where immortals and mortals coexist!

The Third Realm is here, already a top-notch expert.

And since Li Feiyu arrived here, he hasn't made any enemies. He has already resolved any previous conflicts to prevent future troubles.

Naturally, no one would offend Li Feiyu for no reason by destroying a stone tablet.

After all...

This stone tablet doesn't bother them at all...

Li Feiyu landed.

Yaya stared at him and slowly said, 'I'll go with you!'

'Good!'

Li Feiyu smiled.

In this way, at least this little girl won't dislike the Embracing Moon Sect.

If she achieves something in the future, she should bring some benefits to the sect.

It's not in vain that he spoke so much.

'Let's go.'

He held Yaya's little hand and, despite her reluctance, left this land.

Li Feiyu set foot on the journey home.

But this time, he had a little yellow-haired girl with him.

Half a month later, after passing through several teleportation arrays, they finally arrived outside the Embracing Moon Sect.

Li Feiyu stopped.

He let go of the little girl's hand, took a deep breath, and said, 'This place is the Embracing Moon Sect. You go up the mountain and bring this token to find the Sect Master.'

'I won't go up.'

'Why won't you come with me, Uncle Li?'

Yaya was already familiar with Li Feiyu and was puzzled at the moment.

'I can't go up.'

Li Feiyu shook his head. 'If I go up, the Sect Master will definitely give me many treasures.'

He didn't want them.

It's not that he didn't need them, but he didn't want them.

When he's out, he can earn his own.

The development of the sect is not easy, so it's more appropriate to leave those treasures to his fellow disciples.

And along the way, he had heard about the development of the Embracing Moon Sect in recent days, which made him very happy.

'With their own source of elemental stones, they won't lack elemental stones in the short term. And they have affiliated forces, which is really a good thing.'

Li Feiyu smiled.

He waved goodbye to the little girl and then walked away.

'Goodbye, Uncle Li!'

Yaya didn't understand the reason behind this, but she only had one goal in her heart, so she was very determined and wouldn't change because of these trivial matters.

After parting with Li Feiyu, she walked forward confidently.

Not long after, she was stopped by the disciples guarding the mountain.

'Little girl, who are you?'

The two outer disciples smiled.

Although she was an ordinary person, the sect had strict rules, and the treatment within the sect was excellent. They lived happily, so they wouldn't casually make trouble for others.

'Go back quickly. This is a sacred place of the Immortal Gate and cannot be trespassed.'

'I'm here to find the Sect Master.'

She slightly bowed and showed the token given by Li Feiyu.

'This, this is?!'

The two disciples were shocked.

'The token of an inner disciple?!'

'Where did you get it?'

'A man gave it to me.'

Yaya didn't know why they were so surprised, but she said, 'The man asked me to go up the mountain to find the Sect Master. He said the Sect Master would accept me as his disciple.'

The two were even more surprised.

The Sect Master accepting disciples?

Doesn't that mean being personally taught?!

But wait, the token of an inner disciple? Currently, there were only a dozen inner disciples, including the seven senior brothers and sisters who had joined earlier, as well as the newly recruited inner disciples like Liu Xinyue.

Even if the other party was an inner disciple, they wouldn't dare to make such a big claim, right?

He himself was just an inner disciple, so how could he be so sure that the Sect Master would accept this little girl as a personal disciple?

But after all, it was the token of an inner disciple. They didn't dare to be careless and said, 'Follow me!'

One of them immediately led the little girl up the mountain.

Not long after, inside the Embracing Moon Palace.

Lin Fan played with the token, but his gaze wandered over the little yellow-haired girl in front of him.

After a moment, he spoke, 'What's the name of that man?'

'Li Feiyu.'

Oh?

Qiu Yongqin?

Lin Fan's gaze slightly condensed.

So far, there were not many people who knew about the 'core sect rules.' Besides the five elders, there were only Xiao Ling'er, Fan Jianqiang, and Qiu Yongqin.

Since he sent someone back and said he would accept her as a personal disciple, this little girl must meet one of the requirements for accepting disciples?

'Where is he?'

"He left."

The little girl hesitated to speak.

"Oh."

Lin Fan suddenly understood.

He could roughly guess Qiuyongqin's thoughts.

It was not surprising that he didn't enter the family's house.

After all, this kind of protagonist template is quite "ambitious".

Or rather, if they weren't ambitious, they wouldn't have achieved so much.

"Yaya?"

"Yes."

"Are there still people in your family?"

"I am a beggar." The little girl spoke without reservation. "There is only one brother who relies on each other for survival, but we are not blood relatives. We both are beggars who met in the cold winter..."

Beggar siblings!

Not blood relatives!

No names?

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. "Where is your brother?"

"He was taken away by someone from the Immortal Dynasty. They said he is a genius and will become an immortal in the future."

"I want to wait for him to come back."

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to wait and will die."

Yaya stared at Lin Fan, her logic clear and her words articulate. "Uncle Li said that you are willing to take me as your disciple, even if I have no talent. Is that true?"

Well!

Is she the template of that empress?!

Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised.

But immediately, he felt a headache.

That empress was exceptionally talented, not a "protagonist template," but even stronger than the average protagonist template!

Such a template would be great to have as a personal disciple.

But there was a fatal problem.

"Mortal Physique"!

The so-called Mortal Physique means having no talent for cultivation, and the conventional path of cultivation would not work for her.

Taking her as a disciple was simple.

But how could he truly guide her onto the path of immortality and become that peerless empress? That was the biggest challenge.

"However..."

"Since she is the template of that empress, she naturally has her own destiny."

"What I should do is guide her from the side, rather than taking care of everything."

"Otherwise..."

"Perhaps she won't be able to grow to that level."

Thinking of this, Lin Fan smiled. "Uncle Li didn't lie to you."

"Are you willing to be my disciple?"

Yaya's face lit up, but she asked, "Can you help me cultivate and wait for my brother to return?"

"No one can say what will happen in the future."

Lin Fan shook his head, feeling a bit regretful.

He thought to himself that if nothing unexpected happened, she would probably never see her brother again.

"But I can help you survive!"

"Okay."

"Then I will be your disciple."

Yaya immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Fan three times and knocked her head nine times.

"Yaya pays respects to Master."

"Get up."

Lin Fan smiled. "Take a bath and change clothes first."

Then, he called for Zuo Qingqing to bathe and change Yaya into new clothes.

However, dressing her up didn't work.

She was too thin, malnourished for a long time, and her hair was sparse and yellow, naturally not looking good.

Afterward, the initiation ceremony took place.

As a personal disciple, the ceremony naturally had a higher standard.

Xiao Ling'er, as the senior sister, felt sorry for Yaya and hugged her tightly, comforting her. She also gave her many gifts.

Among them were several large bottles of pills!

And they were all pills tailored to Yaya's current condition.

After taking them, although they couldn't give her cultivation, they could greatly improve her physical condition and help her recover in the shortest possible time.

Fan Jianqiang was surprised when he learned about Yaya.

He also gave her some gifts, but he seemed very "restrained."

After all...

This guy still appeared to be a small cultivator at the First Layer of the Second Realm on the surface.

It was quite a contrast.

Not only Lin Fan, even Xiao Ling'er felt that something was off about him.

...

"In the future, you will live in Embracing Moon Palace."

After a brief thought, Lin Fan made arrangements for Yaya to live in Embracing Moon Palace.

"After all, it is an Immortal Gate. Everyone else has things to do, and only I seem to be more relaxed and free." Lin Fan smiled. "First, improve your physical condition. After you recover, I will find a way to guide you into cultivation."

"Yes, Master."

The little girl showed great respect.

She didn't have many complicated thoughts and settled down in Embracing Moon Palace like this.

When Lin Fan is around, she is indispensable in all aspects of life.

Moreover, they are all rich in Essence Qi.

In addition to Xiao Ling'er's elixirs, in just a few days, the little girl has completely changed her appearance. She has returned to her normal height and weight, and her once dry and yellow hair has become black.

Because she is still young, she cannot be considered tall and graceful.

But she is cute.

In the future, she will definitely become a beauty.

"Master, it's time to wash your face."

One day, early in the morning, the little girl knocked on Lin Fan's door.

Lin Fan stopped his cultivation and opened the door with a wave of his sleeve.

For a moment, there was some admiration.

The little girl is really sensible!

She is only six years old, but she sleeps and wakes up early on her own. She is very diligent. Even though Embracing Moon Sect is almost spotless, she cleans it every day. She also prepares face wash water and even boils foot bath water for herself.

Although she has her cultivation to protect her, she doesn't come into contact with dust or dirt.

Although he has said it many times.

But she insists on doing it.

Perhaps in her eyes, this is the only thing she can do.

And she doesn't want to be someone who can't do anything.

After understanding her thoughts, Lin Fan can only let her be.

After washing her face, the little girl eagerly wrung the towel dry.

Looking at her small figure struggling to wring the towel, Lin Fan was momentarily lost in thought.

If he's not mistaken, this little girl is the future Empress!

The future Empress, why does it seem like she has become his maid?!

Oh my goodness!

While feeling emotional, he couldn't help but consider how to cultivate the little girl.

"If we analyze it based on big data..."

The little girl is busy and clean.

Lin Fan watched her busy figure and fell into contemplation.

According to the "big data analysis," this type of Empress template will experience many hardships in the early stages of her life. Then, she will rise all the way through countless battles and eventually become one of the top few.

A simple description may only be a few sentences.

But Mortal Physique cultivation is so difficult.

The experiences and hardships during this period are not something others can understand.

Even the "template itself" has experienced life and death multiple times, living through the second life, the third life... until finally achieving perfection.

What about the little girl?

Lin Fan frowned slightly.

"The normal path is no longer feasible."

"Could it be that I can only let her figure it out on her own?"

"But that's too slow and difficult."

How many years would it take for her to reach the peak on her own?

Lin Fan can't wait!

And he doesn't want to wait.

He needs to find a way to help her.

"What is the Goldfinger of this type of template?"

Lin Fan began to reason in reverse: "Unparalleled talent, strong will, never giving up until the goal is achieved."

"And her goal has always been one."

"All cultivation techniques, profound arts, are 'realized' by herself."

This is enough to prove her talent.

So, I probably can't teach her anything, I can only let her figure it out on her own.

No, I can also help.

First, she needs to learn how to read. If she can't read...

Then...

Lin Fan suddenly had an epiphany.

Give her cultivation techniques, secret arts?

The little girl would definitely not be able to cultivate them.

But he can guide her indirectly!

Don't teach her cultivation techniques or secret arts.

Just teach her ideas and ways of thinking.

Even, don't give her ideas and ways of thinking.

Instead, show her a story.

Let her gain something from the story, and then use her own talent to comprehend and learn!!!

But all of this depends on learning how to read.

With this thought, Lin Fan suddenly understood and no longer hesitated or struggled.

He immediately pulled the little girl over and smiled, "From today onwards, I will teach you how to read."

"Learning how to read is necessary for cultivation, right?" The little girl wasn't very interested.

"Yes."

"Then I'll learn!"

After receiving a positive answer, she didn't hesitate.

Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless when he saw this.

This is her advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

If only she knew that he was her brother...

Sigh.

Lin Fan sighed lightly.

At this moment, he couldn't say much either.

He wanted to help, but he couldn't. After all, the Embracing Moon Sect is currently too weak and doesn't have the means or strength to contend with an Immortal Dynasty. They can only take it step by step.

If there is an opportunity...

He wouldn't mind helping with this favor.

But only if there is an opportunity...

The little girl is very serious.

Even though she wasn't interested in literacy before, when she learned that it could help her cultivate and see her brother, she became very motivated.

In just one day, under Lin Fan's guidance, she learned over a hundred commonly used characters.

She even studied by candlelight at night, until she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

Lin Fan doesn't need to sleep now.

As the night deepens...

Since transmigrating, this is the second time he has written.

The first time was when he wrote the sect rules, and now, it's this moment.

But unlike before, when he wrote the sect rules, he could only write by hand, stroke by stroke, very slowly.

Now, his divine sense extends, simultaneously controlling hundreds of pens, writing different contents, greatly increasing efficiency by hundreds of times!

"Fortunately, as my cultivation improves, my divine sense becomes stronger. I remember the things I experienced and the books I read more clearly."

"Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to write."

One night passes.

Looking at the book that has been bound into a simple volume, Lin Fan smiles.

"Finished writing in one night."

"Refreshing."

So he flips through it.

Hmm, it has that taste, no problem.

"But this name..."

After a brief thought, Lin Fan writes down the title.

"Concealing the Sky and Covering the Sun"

"But it's still too early to give it to her now. She needs to learn more characters first."

In theory, a six-year-old girl wouldn't be able to understand this kind of novel at all.

But Ya Ya is exceptionally intelligent, talented, and mature for her age, so Lin Fan isn't too worried about this.

Half a month later...

Ya Ya has already learned nearly three thousand characters.

She recognizes and can write all the commonly used characters.

On this day, Lin Fan doesn't hesitate anymore.

"Ya Ya."

"You've learned enough characters. From now on, we'll change the way you learn."

"What do you mean, Master?"

"As long as it can help me cultivate and wait for my brother to return, anything is fine."

Seeing her like this, Lin Fan doesn't say much, only says, "From today onwards, you will read books."

"In books, there are beautiful women and golden houses."

"You're still young, and there are many things you don't understand. Reading more can help you understand many things you don't know or haven't experienced."

"It can also bring you considerable help."

"Recently, I've been idle and wrote a script novel. It can be a practice for you."

"Take it and read it slowly."

"Don't rush."

"Yes, Master!"

The little girl agrees.

Afterward, she holds the first volume of "Concealing the Sky and Covering the Sun" and reads it carefully.

She is very obedient.

Following Lin Fan's instructions, she reads it slowly, almost word by word, chewing and understanding each character and sentence before continuing.

If she doesn't understand something, she will ask Lin Fan seriously.

Of course, this novel is slightly different from the original version.

For example, the "origins" of the protagonists.

It wouldn't make sense to write that they came in a BMW. Isn't that BMW still parked at the foot of Mount Tai?

Explaining that clearly would be strange.

Therefore, many historical backgrounds have been toned down.

It's just a group of people entering a bronze coffin, then breaking through the starry sky with nine dragons pulling the coffin, entering the Firefly Star, encountering the Crocodile Ancestor, and then entering an ancient teleportation array, stepping into the ancient starry road and continuing forward...

The little girl reads very slowly, very slowly.

Although she understands the meaning behind it all, she doesn't see the bigger picture.

She just treats it as a script novel, a story about immortals and gods.

And as her experience gradually grows, her reading speed also becomes faster.

Another month later...

The little girl gradually notices something.

This script novel...

Seems a bit off.

"Nan Nan?"

"Brother was taken away by the Immortal Dynasty?"

"···"

"Mortal Physique?"

"Not becoming an immortal, just waiting for you to return in the mortal world?!"

"What is this?!"

She was shocked.

"This..."

"Is this true?"

"Is this a fictional novel or..."

But when she saw her murmuring brother dead, the little girl burst into tears.

Seeing the Empress seeking revenge, destroying the Divine Dynasty with a palm, she felt a bit of satisfaction, but more of sadness.

She couldn't help but think, if it were her, facing this situation, how desperate and heartbroken would she be?

She cried.

Holding onto Lin Fan, unwilling to let go for a long time.

"Master, this story... I'm afraid."

"Silly child, what are you afraid of?"

"Master, please tell me, is this just a story or something you have seen in the future with your immortal means?"

"It's just a story."

Lin Fan rubbed her little head and sighed, "Silly child, the future changes in an instant, even immortals cannot see it, how can I know the future?"

"Don't take it to heart."

"But I'm still afraid."

"..."

"I'm afraid that one day I will end up like Nannan..."

"I don't want my brother to die."

"I want him to live!"

"I don't want that either." Lin Fan earnestly said, "But everything has its destiny. If you want to change and make everything go your way, you can only go against the heavens."

"Get stronger, get stronger, keep getting stronger."

"When you have the power to control everything and change everything, there will be nothing in this world that doesn't go your way."

"But now, neither you nor I can do it."

"All I can do is get stronger."

"What about you, Yaya?"

The little girl wiped away her tears, "I want to get stronger too!"

"I want to keep my brother alive!"

"Then let's work hard together, okay?"

"Yes!"

...

After that, the little girl became more reserved.

Although she was still afraid and resistant, she once again picked up "Concealing the Heavens".

In the end, she whispered to herself, "Time goes by, the cycle of reincarnation."

"In this world, a similar flower will eventually appear, making you look back a thousand times."

"But in the end... it's not him."

"I don't believe in reincarnation, and I don't want reincarnation."

"If there really is a long river of time..."

"Even if it spans endless years, I will find it and go against the current. Even if that flower has withered, I will bring it back to this world and do everything I can to revive it."

"No matter..."

"How difficult it may be!"

At this moment, she seemed to have suddenly matured and became fearless.

She yearned for cultivation, yearned to become stronger.

But she still didn't want to become an immortal, only to wait for "you" to return in the mortal world.

If you can't come back...

Then I will step into the river of time and bring you back against the current of endless years!

From that day on, the little girl became more silent.

But she still cleaned Lin Fan's room every day and did everything she could, like an obedient but quiet little girl.

She was sensible and made people feel sorry for her.

Lin Fan saw all of this, feeling a bit emotional, but he didn't regret it.

She would have to go through all of this eventually.

What he did might have encouraged her prematurely.

It made her experience such pain at such a young age.

But at least, it prepared her mentally. When she received the real news, she wouldn't be so desperate, but would continue to move forward and achieve her goals.

At the same time, if she could gain the ability to resurrect people as soon as possible, perhaps she could find fragments of her brother's remains and bring him back to life.

And if she really had to wait for countless years, living through several lifetimes, to resurrect her brother, the difficulty would be multiplied by an unknown number.

Even if she really had to take that final and most difficult step.

If Yaya started her cultivation earlier, she would gain that kind of power earlier.

As for...

Whether she could succeed or not, it would depend on the future.

Of course, there is also a possibility that it's all a mistake.

Perhaps Yaya is not the template for the Empress, but just a coincidence that she is similar in many aspects.

Lin Fan has also considered this possibility and has already made a decision.

If that's the case, then he will take care of her for the rest of his life.

He will do his best to extend her lifespan and hope to wait for the day when her brother comes to find her.

There is no other reason.

It's just a sense of responsibility!

Since he brought her up the mountain and accepted her as his disciple, no matter what, he has to take responsibility for her.

A wife in times of poverty should not be abandoned.

His disciple must be taken care of by himself, regardless of her achievements. At least, he should do his best to ensure her well-being.

Otherwise, if she is not the template for the Empress and he abandons her because she cannot cultivate, how is he any different from that ungrateful Tang Divine King?

It is worth mentioning that although Xiao Yatou has already read "Covering the Sky and Blocking the Sun" once and carefully studied it, she still holds the book every day and only puts it down when she is busy.

Lin Fan did not intervene too much in this matter.

With proper nutrition and the use of elixirs to nourish her body, her height began to skyrocket.

Now, she looks like a girl of eleven or twelve years old.

Coupled with her mature mentality, it is difficult to determine her age without considering her bone age.

However...

I don't know when it started, but she suddenly started to daydream frequently.

Sometimes she daydreams while busy.

Sometimes she daydreams while holding a book.

There was even a time when she stood still holding a basin of water for washing her face.

Lin Fan still did not disturb her.

Perhaps, this is her opportunity.

Or perhaps there is a reason behind it.

But...

If she really is the template for a ruthless empress, then there is no need for me to teach her any techniques or secret arts.

The only thing I can teach her is the principles of being a good person, having the right values, and how to deal with everything that may come her way. That's all.

As for techniques and secret arts...

She has to comprehend them herself!

Her talent is unparalleled, it's not just empty talk.

...

Spring has passed, and summer has arrived.

Night.

Standing at the peak of the Embracing Moon Palace, Lin Fan gazes at the obscured and elusive Taiyin star, pondering.

"The crisis of this year is approaching."

During this period, the Embracing Moon Sect has been flourishing and improving in all aspects.

However, there are still some shortcomings.

The biggest change is that there is no longer a shortage of primordial stones.

At least, there is no shortage of primordial stones without extravagant purchases of valuable items from outside.

More than ten talented disciples from the Fan family, including Fan Shouxin, have joined the outer sect of the Embracing Moon Sect and are practicing the Embracing Moon Sect's techniques.

Fan Jin managed to gather some primordial stones with great difficulty and used internal privileges to purchase some cultivation pills. It is said that he was so excited that he cried when he returned to the family.

The Liu family is also developing.

And the speed...

Very fast, very fast!

Xiao Ling'er's talent in alchemy is too strong, and with the guidance of the Medicine Granny, it's like catching up quickly.

With the improvement of her cultivation and the increase in alchemy experience, her alchemy skills have been continuously improving. The pills she can refine are getting better and stronger.

Although the success rate of refining Rank Six pills is still not high, she can already easily refine Rank Five pills.

The strength of the first to fifth realm members of the Liu family is rapidly increasing.

The speed is so fast that the Chen and Jiang families are amazed!

As three major families, although they have had their ups and downs and victories and defeats over the years, they have never been too far apart. Even if one generation is slightly weaker, there are still strong individuals supporting them.

They can just give up the competition between the current generation and let the old folks work harder, while the younger generation can just be submissive.

Wait for the next generation, the next two generations, or even the tenth generation!

As long as the old folks are still alive, there won't be a problem.

With their foundation, there will come a day when, as long as there is an outstanding talent among the current generation, the family can rise again and compete with the other two major families.

But during these days, the two major families gradually realized the problem.

"The Liu family..."

"They are so strong!"

"We are well aware of the strength of the Liu family's old folks, but why is their younger generation growing so rapidly?!"

"As we watch, they have completely surpassed both of our families."

"In these days, whether it's the first realm or the fifth realm, the core disciples of the Liu family have at least advanced by one small realm, and some have even advanced by several small realms."

"In terms of individual strength, they have completely surpassed our families."

"This is not right!"

The high-level members of the Chen and Jiang families secretly met and felt surprised and troubled.

"Even if this era belongs to the Liu family, it is impossible for all the Liu family's descendants to have such talent and all-round improvement, right?"

"Even if the Liu family's luck is overwhelming, it shouldn't be like this!"

"There must be hidden reasons!"

"Investigate!"

"At all costs, we must find out the truth."

"Otherwise, if this continues, our two families may no longer be able to compete with them."

"When necessary..."

"Join forces!"

The three major families have stood for over ten thousand years without ever joining forces against each other.

But now, they have sensed the crisis and even started to consider forming an alliance!

At the same time...

In the Northern Region, the Xiao clan, the main family.

The ancestor, Xiao Zhengji, has been promoted!

Enjoying more blessings from the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty's luck.

On the same day, Xiao Zhengji made a breakthrough.

Becoming a powerful being.

Only less than two hundred votes are needed to reach one thousand. In the last three days, please vote for this chapter. I wonder if it can reach one thousand?
