On his way home, Lin Xiao first called the Dragon Lord.
"Lin Xiao, you rascal, are you resting well?"
The Dragon Lord on the other end of the line sounded in good spirits.
"Yes, I've recovered. Thank you for your concern, Dragon Lord."
"It's nothing. You're a lucky fellow. Regarding that incident with True Person Tianhe, I've had people handle it," the Dragon Lord said. "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you."
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Dragon Lord, did you know from the beginning that the true reason for the destruction of my Lin family was those cultivators?"
"..."
The smile on the Dragon Lord's face instantly vanished. He wished he could slap himself. Why did he have to open his mouth? After a few seconds of silence, he no longer concealed it. "Yes, I knew from the beginning."
"But your strength didn't allow you to know these things, so I didn't tell you," the Dragon Lord said with a hint of emotion. Who would have thought that in such a short time? Lin Xiao had progressed step by step to the peak of the Divine Realm, and soon, he would step into that transcendent realm.
Lin Xiao was silent for a while, understanding that it was the Dragon Lord's well-intentioned plan.
He knew very well that if it were during the time he first returned to Shashi, he would have undoubtedly gone straight to settle accounts with those so-called cultivators, and at that time, he hadn't even reached the Divine Realm.
His humility back then was often a mask for his pride.
It wasn't until he had Xun'er and Luo Qinghan by his side for the past year that his mindset changed.
Now, although he might be a little impulsive, he was more so calm, with concerns for those he cared about. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Thank you, Dragon Lord."
Finally, he said into the phone.
"Lin Xiao, remember, absolutely do not be impulsive. Even if you later find out the location of those cultivators, you must not be impulsive," the Dragon Lord quickly cautioned.
"I know, because impulsiveness is the devil."
Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't act recklessly."
Until he had the strength to deal with those people, he would not act rashly.
After chatting with the Dragon Lord for a few more sentences, he hung up his phone.
He was now impatient to go home and see his most adorable daughter and his beloved wife.
...
Zhuge Lan looked at the feather fan in his hand. He had now inherited the lineage of Marquis Wu, and he was the clan leader.
This meant that he could no longer leave this place as he pleased. Many matters within the clan required his attention.
So this was what it meant to be unable to escape one's fate.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of this phrase.
He really wanted to go to Modu to see Dongfang Jingjing, but he couldn't leave.
Even...
"Choose one of the women from the clan. Your age is appropriate for marriage, and moreover, you are now the clan leader. As the clan leader, you must bear offspring within the next three years." His mother's voice echoed in his ears.
"Mom, I told you, I already have someone in my heart."
Zhuge Lan frowned. He was the head of the family, but he felt that he was now not even as free as he was before becoming the head.
Clan leader meant power, but it meant responsibility even more.
When this responsibility weighed down on him, he found it preposterous.
"It's clearly not advisable to marry close relatives!"
