After Xiao Lin broke through to the Three-Star Dou Zong through two months of cultivation, he naturally left the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

After all, his spirit was once again exhausted when he broke through to the Three-Star Dou Zong.

Xiao Lin had no good solution to this negative effect of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Therefore, he could only choose to cultivate there for a period of time, and then come out to get some fresh air and allow his mental state to recover.

"Ugh, another day of rest is such a hassle!"

Back at his lodgings, Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain.

But there was no other way; compared to the benefits, Xiao Lin could tolerate these negative effects.

Fortunately, Xiao Lin was a cultivation fanatic and could withstand this kind of mental torment.

If it were an Ordinary, they probably would have gone completely insane by now!

Even the Qian Bai Er Lao, though they also wanted to improve their strength, would leave the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to rest for a while after each time they were mentally exhausted before going back in to cultivate.

Unlike Xiao Lin, who would rest for a day after each outing and then immediately return to cultivation once his mental state had recovered.

To be fair, the title of "cultivation maniac" is indeed very fitting for Xiao Lin.

It should be noted that back when he was still with the Xiao Household, Xiao Lin would cultivate whenever he had free time, and he would also cultivate when he had something to do.

For Xiao Lin now, it's just a change of cultivation environment; in reality, there's not much difference.

A day passed quickly.

Just as Xiao Lin had recovered and was preparing to enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate again, he was ambushed before he even stepped out of his Pavilion.

The one who blocked Xiao Lin's way was none other than the First Elder Su Qian!

"First Elder, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

Upon seeing First Elder Su Qian outside the door, Xiao Lin's face showed surprise.

After all, although he had become Elder of the Jia Nan Academy, due to his special status, the First Elder Su Qian did not actually assign him any tasks.

Even though Xiao Lin didn't have any specific responsibilities, his salary, which was in terms of Fire Energy, was among the highest of all the Elders!

In modern terms, it means getting paid even without working.

This is truly enviable for those who work the 996 work schedule!

There's no way around it; Xiao Lin is just that arrogant, and he has the confidence to back it up.

However, it's unclear whether First Elder Su Qian felt that Xiao Lin's life at the Jia Nan Academy was too comfortable, so he specially found him something to do.

Sure enough, after hearing yesterday that Xiao Lin had come out of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, he came to block the door early this morning.

Through their interactions over this period, First Elder Su Qian also learned that Xiao Lin was a cultivation fanatic.

If he doesn't come to intercept people early in the morning, he probably won't be seen by noon!

However, once Xiao Lin entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate, he could not forcibly pull him out.

Therefore, Xiao Lin witnessed the scene of Su Qian blocking the door early this morning.

"Ahem, Elder Lin, I wonder what you've been busy with lately?"

Thinking about the matter he needed to ask Xiao Lin for help, First Elder Su Qian spoke up somewhat embarrassedly.

Furthermore, as he finished speaking, he awkwardly turned his head away, avoiding looking into Xiao Lin's eyes.

Looking at First Elder Su Qian, who was behaving strangely today, Xiao Lin was also somewhat bewildered.

However, considering that all the benefits he had received since entering Jia Nan Academy were secured for him by the old man in front of him, Xiao Lin still had a good impression of him and therefore did not have any doubts.

"To be honest, there's really nothing to be busy with, and I have to thank the First Elder for making the arrangements."

These are Xiao Lin's honest thoughts.

However, he might soon regret what he said...

"That's wonderful, Elder Lin! I've been busy with some things lately and can't spare the time, so could you please do me a small favor?"

To emphasize how "small" this favor was, First Elder Su Qian even gestured with his right thumb and forefinger.

Judging from his description, it certainly must be very "small".

However, Xiao Lin, who had lived in the world of Battle Through the Heavens for too long, had forgotten a classic saying and gesture from his previous life, "Universe between the fingers!"

Because Xiao Lin not only had no defenses against First Elder Su Qian, but also had quite a bit of goodwill towards him, he was about to be tricked by this old geezer!

"Of course, I am an Elder of the Jia Nan Academy. If there is anything that needs my help, I will certainly do my duty!"

First Elder, please speak freely!

Xiao Lin, unaware that he was about to fall into a trap, made a solemn promise at this moment.

Well, Xiao Lin's countdown to being tricked has begun!

"Excellent, excellent! Elder Lin truly lives up to his reputation as a role model among all the Elders of the Jia Nan Academy. Not only is he diligent in his cultivation, but he's also willing to spend time helping to take care of the child. I'm so grateful to you!"

As he spoke, First Elder Su Qian looked at Xiao Lin with an expression of overwhelming gratitude.

However, as First Elder Su Qian finished speaking, Xiao Lin's smiling face instantly froze.

Then, Xiao Lin stammered, "Wait, wait, First Elder, what did you say? You want me to help, help take care of the child?"

At that moment, Xiao Lin was completely dumbfounded.

He had imagined a million First Elder Su Qian might ask him for help, but he had never considered that it would be taking care of a child!

You really have to understand how tough it is to raise a child; only those who have done it themselves truly know!

Because his wife died early, Xiao Zhan was naturally raised by Xiao Lin from a young age.

Even though Xiao Zhan had been very sensible since he was a child, Xiao Lin Xiao Zhan still spent countless amounts of energy on him until he was six years old.

Although Xiao Lin could have entrusted Xiao Zhan to the clan members to take care of, for example, occasionally asking the clan leader Xiao Dongcheng to help take care of him.

However, considering that Xiao Zhan lost his mother at a young age, Xiao Lin was naturally unwilling to entrust him to anyone else.

Therefore, apart from a small portion of the time when Xiao Lin was cultivating, with the clan leader Xiao Dongcheng helping out for a period of time, Xiao Lin did everything himself.

Therefore, Xiao Lin naturally knew how troublesome it was to take care of a child.

Of course, Xiao Zhan was sensible early. Some children, after the age of six when they can be mischievous, are as naughty as monkeys, and you can't control them at all!

Xiao Lin had seen many such mischievous children in his previous life.

Therefore, Xiao Lin knew all too well how painful it was to take care of a child.

Compared to that, Xiao Lin now much prefers to enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and cultivate for Jiujiu -one days!

Or we could find Dou Zun expert and have Xiao Lin fight the opponent with all his might!

Xiao Lin now really wanted to ask First Elder Su Qian if he could take back what he had just said.
