Three-Star Dou Venerable
A spring breeze overnight!
Xiao Zhan entered the bridal chamber in high spirits and didn't get up until late the next day.
But Xiao Lin stood in his small courtyard all night!
Xiao Zhan's marriage deeply moved Xiao Lin, and it reminded him of his deceased wife once again.
To be honest, Xiao Lin had a very good relationship with his deceased wife, which is why, even after all these years, Xiao Lin still hasn't thought about finding another partner.
His heart already belongs to someone else; there's no room for anyone else.
This might explain why Xiao Lin awakened his Past-Life Wisdom, rather than having memories of his past life from the beginning of his transmigration.
Because he awakened his Past-Life Wisdom, Xiao Lin perfectly integrated into this world!
Therefore, he accepted everything he had before without reservation.
Unlike Xiao Yan in the Original Work, who seemed friendly to everyone but was actually not close to anyone when he first transmigrated, Xiao Lin is different!
Even his father Xiao Zhan, and his two older brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, treated him the same way after his Dou Qi was absorbed by Yao Lao, turning him from a genius into Ordinary overnight, which allowed him to gradually accept them.
Xiao Lin, however, does not fall into Xiao Yan's category.
From beginning to end, he always identified himself as Xiao Lin!
This explains why, even after so many years, Xiao Lin still cannot forget his deceased wife.
Yesterday's wedding of his son Xiao Zhan brought back painful memories for Xiao Lin, who stood in the courtyard all night.
However, before sunrise the next day, Xiao Lin had already composed himself.
He is not a fragile person who dwells on the past; yesterday was just a sudden realization.
However, Xiao Lin's emotional fluctuations also brought him one benefit.
"Hmm? It seems like I'm about to break through?"
Upon realizing his situation, Xiao Lin was immediately overjoyed.
Since having a feeling about this six months ago, Xiao Lin truly felt that he was about to break through.
Immediately, Xiao Lin summoned an Elder from the Xiao Household.
"Tell the other Elders in the clan, as well as Zhan'er and Xiyue, that I need to go into seclusion urgently and they should not disturb me!"
After saying this, Xiao Lin entered his secluded cultivation place without waiting for the Xiao Household Elder's reply.
Given Xiao Lin's current prestige within the Xiao Household, establishing absolute control would not be difficult for him.
As for Xiao Lin's so-called seclusion, it wasn't actually a real seclusion.
After entering seclusion, he opened a Spatial Passage and went directly to some unknown corner of the Northwest Continent.
Five days later, Xiao Lin returned to the Xiao Household and emerged from his seclusion.
At this moment, Xiao Lin's true cultivation level had reached the Three-Star Dou Venerable!
Of course, since he went into emergency seclusion last time, his apparent cultivation level should also be improved.
Nowadays, all people between the Five-Star Battle King and the Three-Star Dou Venerable can see is his Five-Star Battle King cultivation level!
If things continue like this, there's a good chance that Xiao Lin's apparent cultivation level will rise to the Dou Emperor once the main storyline begins.
"Dad, are you alright?"
Just as Xiao Lin emerged from his secluded retreat, Xiao Zhan approached him with a worried expression and asked.
Standing next to Xiao Zhan were several other Leadership of the Xiao Household.
It was clear that Xiao Lin's emergency seclusion five days ago had frightened them.
For the past five days, Xiao Zhan has been waiting outside his secluded retreat almost every day.
"It's just a seclusion, what's the big deal?"
Unlike Xiao Zhan and the rest of the Xiao Household clansmen, Xiao Lin himself didn't feel anything at all.
However, Xiao Lin forgot that "emergency seclusion" was not a good term.
Generally speaking, emergency closure is only necessary in case of an accident.
Therefore, they would naturally be worried about Xiao Lin's situation.
Seeing that his father (the clan leader) was really alright, Xiao Zhan and the other Leadership Xiao Household finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you, Uncle will be fine, but you didn't believe me, did you?"
At this moment, Yang Xiyue walked over to Xiao Zhan and scolded him playfully.
However, before Yang Xiyue could finish speaking, Xiao Lin raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Zhan, standing to the side, still hadn't realized what had gone wrong.
"Xiyue, what should you call me now?"
As he asked the question, Xiao Lin looked at his daughter-in-law with a half-smile.
Similarly, it wasn't until this moment that Yang Xiyue finally realized what mistake she had made.
This immediately made her blush deeply.
This was mainly because Yang Xiyue had been Xiao Household for almost half a year and had gotten used to calling Xiao Lin "Uncle," so she hadn't quite adjusted to the new situation yet.
In addition, normally, newlyweds are expected to serve tea to their parents-in-law on the second day of their marriage.
Although her mother-in-law had passed away, Xiao Lin's father-in-law was still alive.
This tea ceremony can also be called the "changing of address" tea ceremony.
However, on the second day after Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue's wedding, Xiao Lin suddenly felt that he was about to break through, so he went into seclusion.
This is why the tea ceremony has been delayed until today and has not yet taken place.
At this moment, after being reminded by Xiao Lin, Yang Xiyue finally realized what was happening.
As for Xiao Zhan, he was a step behind before finally realizing what the problem was.
Right now, Xiao Zhan is staring at his wife with a big, motherly smile.
Being stared at by Xiao Lin and his son Xiao Zhan at the same time, Yang Xiyue, who had been living in the Xiao Household for almost half a year, became a little shy.
Not to mention there were several Leadership of the Xiao Household around!
"Dad~"
Finally, amidst everyone's smiling expressions, Yang Xiyue, imitating Xiao Zhan, softly called out "Father."
She didn't call him "father-in-law" or "father," but instead called him "dad," just like her husband Xiao Zhan!
"~, haha!"
Hearing his daughter-in-law address him in that way, Xiao Lin burst into laughter.
From now on, his family has one more member!
After Xiao Lin finished his seclusion, all the Leadership dispersed.
Meanwhile, Xiao Lin and the other two returned to the main hall inside and made up for the ritual of the daughter-in-law serving tea to her father-in-law, which should have been completed five days ago.
Of course, just as there's the tea ceremony performed by the daughter-in-law, there's also the ceremony where Xiao Lin, as the father-in-law, gives out red envelopes.
This red envelope is no Ordinary red envelope.
Besides, given Xiao Lin's current status, he wouldn't be able to afford an Ordinary red envelope, would he?
What's more, this red envelope was for his daughter-in-law!
Therefore, after Yang Xiyue finished serving tea to her father-in-law Xiao Lin smiled and handed her Storage Ring that had been prepared five days ago.
"Xiyue, now that we're all family, please take this Storage Ring. Consider the little trinkets inside a gift from your father-in-law!"
The contents of this Storage Ring are the red envelopes that Xiao Lin gave to his daughter-in-law.
And what Xiao Lin produced could hardly be considered shabby.
