"I considered this long ago, Nan Lin. The Nan family's ancestral holdings really aren't easy to relocate. After all, the students come from the disciples and scions of the major sects and lineages, so moving away naturally wouldn't be ideal. Besides, I don't intend to take the entire Nan family. I'm only interested in talents like Family Head Nan Lin—that's what my Heaven's Unity Dao is looking for. And besides, don't the second and third brothers still remain in the Nan family? Since they want to run the Nan family, let them do so. Someone as scholarly as you—what use is there in staying in this den of power struggles to pursue learning? You've all put your minds to fratricidal strife instead." I reminded him.
Nan Lin had initially intended to say something in explanation, but after thinking it over carefully and glancing at his daughter, he said with a bitter smile, "Dao Lord Xia sees things very clearly. I, Nan Lin, have played the pedant for so long that I actually failed to see something so simple... I truly am not suited to be head of the Nan family. Even Xue'er would be far more suitable than me..."
He had probably also thought of how Nan Xue had dared to send Yong Qiu to seek me out. If not for that connection, the position of head of the Nan family would probably have changed hands long ago, with one of his daughters even sacrificed in the bargain. But now I had given him a chance. If he still refused to cherish it, nothing might happen for a few years—but what about several years after that? That remained unknown.
The Nan family still had the second and third brothers. The reputation of Heaven's Unity Dao could not hold them down.
