Final Instructions

"Haha, Xiao Yan, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I only stopped by the Starfall Pavilion to visit you. I have something very important to do next, so I probably won't be staying for more than a few days."

Xiao Lin smiled and then spoke calmly.

He hadn't originally planned to come; as Xiao Lin said, he was just passing through.

"Oh? Grandpa, you just happened to be passing by to see me?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan feigned a somewhat sad expression.

Seeing Xiao Yan's silly antics, Xiao Lin was quite speechless.

However, this also shows that Xiao Yan was in a pretty good mood today because of Xiao Lin's arrival!

"What? You're not happy about it? Then I'll leave?"

Xiao Lin spoke again, with a slightly mocking tone.

"No, Grandpa! I've missed you so much, haven't I? Besides, with my current Alchemist skills, I'm capable of healing the hidden injuries you sustained years ago!"

Xiao Yan first sincerely tried to persuade Xiao Lin to stay, but when he mentioned Xiao Lin's hidden injuries, he revealed a confident look!

Xiao Yan refused to believe that the hidden injuries on the Dou Wang's body could possibly be a problem for a mere Eighth-Tier Alchemist like himself.

If he still can't heal his grandfather's hidden injuries, then he has no face to call himself the champion of this year's Pill Gathering!

After saying that, Xiao Yan prepared to come over and check on his grandfather's health.

However, Xiao Lin would not allow Xiao Yan to examine him now.

After all, Xiao Yan is no longer the same as before. He now possesses the cultivation of Dou Venerable, the Soul Power Spirit Realm, and four Heavenly Flames!

On the surface, as long as Xiao Lin puts on a disguise, Xiao Yan will be unable to detect anything.

However, if Xiao Yan were to examine her body, the risk of being exposed would be considerable.

Xiao Lin has no intention of letting Xiao Yan know about all this yet!

Therefore, he had no choice but to refuse his grandson's kind offer!

"Alright, Xiao Yan, my hidden injuries have already healed, you don't need to bother with that."

As he spoke, Xiao Lin also revealed that his Dou Qi level was even stronger than that of the Seven-Star Battle King he had been before.

Yes, Xiao Lin's current apparent cultivation level is already that of Nine-Star Battle King!

After investigating Xiao Lin's situation, Gu He concluded that Xiao Lin would not be able to break through any further, and his Dou Qi cultivation would even become weaker and weaker.

At that time, Xiao Lin was at the Seven-Star Battle King level.

Now that Xiao Lin has revealed the aura of Nine-Star Battle King, doesn't that mean his hidden injuries have been healed?

Furthermore, after Xiao Yan Xiao Lin his Dou Qi, Xiao Yan carefully sensed it and found that there was indeed no sign of him running out of energy, so he naturally believed his explanation.

"Ah, you've really recovered! That's wonderful! But Grandpa, what happened to you...?"

"This is the Central Plains, after all! The hidden injuries I sustained back then might be difficult to heal in the Northwest Continent, but there are plenty of talented people in the Central Plains."

"As long as you can afford the cost, these kinds of hidden injuries are actually not difficult to treat."

Xiao Yan had only asked half of his question when Xiao Lin, having already guessed what he was going to ask, preemptively answered.

Faced with Xiao Lin's deception of Xiao Yan, Yao Lao and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged a silent glance and then pretended to know nothing.

"I see! Well, after all, this is Central Plains!"

Xiao Yan vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

So, in the end, he nodded, agreeing with his grandfather's reasoning!

"Grandpa, even if you recover, you can stay at the Starfall Pavilion! You're already so old, and although the Dou Wang realm isn't weak in the Northwest Continent, this is the Central Plains!"

It's still dangerous for you to travel around. You should stay at the Starfall Pavilion so I can take care of you.

"Coincidentally, I'm also Alchemist, so I can definitely help you further enhance your strength!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan also spoke up to persuade Xiao Lin to stay.

For Xiao Yan, having family around makes him feel safer!

He felt that he could now protect his family and his grandfather!

Meanwhile, Yao Lao and Xiao Yi Xian continued to pretend they knew nothing, letting Xiao Yan go and fulfill his filial duties...

"Xiao Yan, I have received your kind intentions! However, as I just mentioned, I only stopped by the Starfall Pavilion to drop by and see you."

Actually, I have things to do in a few days.

Clearly, Xiao Lin had no intention of staying at the Starfall Pavilion for long.

After all, he originally wanted to have a get-together with his family before going to the old site of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

Now that I've even met Xiao Yan, whom I hadn't seen before, I naturally have no regrets.

"Oh? Grandpa, you have something else to do? I'll go with you!"

Upon hearing Xiao Lin mention it, Xiao Yan immediately stood up and volunteered without hesitation.

His grandfather's affairs are his affairs!

"No need. Your priority right now is to focus on your own affairs! If my arrival only distracts you from my work, then I'd rather not have come at all."

Xiao Lin naturally refused.

"Grandfather!"

However, Xiao Lin's words clearly made Xiao Yan a little angry.

Sure enough, his brows were slightly furrowed at that moment.

Isn't the reason I strive to become stronger so that I can better protect my family?

Why is Grandpa acting like he doesn't want to trouble me?

I imagine that any filial descendant would feel the same way as Xiao Yan at this moment.

Parents are afraid of troubling their children, but sometimes children just want to help!

"Alright, Grandpa, it's just a small matter, I can handle it myself! On the contrary, you should not only help Yao Lao revive in the coming days, but also solve the problem of the Woeful Poison Body in Xiao Yi Xian's body, right?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's disapproving expression, Xiao Lin smiled and spoke up.

After saying that, Xiao Lin even steered the conversation towards Yao Lao and Xiao Yi Xian.

Knowing that his grandfather had previously met Yao Lao and Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan wasn't surprised that his grandfather knew about these two matters.

"This..."

As expected, Xiao Yan was also conflicted at this moment.

After all, his grandfather was family, but the Yao Lao and the Xiao Yi Xian held a place in his heart no less important than family!

"Don't worry, if anything really happens, would I refuse the help of Dou Venerable's grandson?"

Xiao Lin then jokingly remarked with a relaxed expression.

"Okay, I understand. But Grandpa, you have to promise me that if there's anything you can't handle, you won't force yourself. I'll help you!"

Unable to go against his stubborn grandfather, Xiao Yan could only helplessly speak up.

"Okay, Grandpa will definitely do it next time!"

Xiao Lin chuckled and nodded.

However, he only said "next time" in his heart.
