"My goodness! You've also learned to do it? That's the spirit of my generation!" Lin Xiaodao stared at Tianming. âLittle punk, no need to worry about not having a challenge on Gladeus! Iâll make you the general of the cannon fodder and give you life-and-death battles to your heartâs content. Youâre a coward if you donât help me clean up Gladeus!â
âI donât agree, youâre using child soldiers!â Tianming was speechless. That would be war, not a challenging fight. However, he would be fighting for the Lin Clan. He now understood why Lin Xiaodao would loudly announce he was leaving the Lin Clan. No matter how wild he went over there, the ebons on Ebonia would have no excuse to act on the Infinitum Swordsea.
âThat way I can still help my grandparents, even if Iâm on Gladeus, and they wonât have to worry about me. Also, Lingâer, Xiaoxiao, and Little Fish will have somewhere they can fight!â He was really starting to look forward to it.
âSo whatâs the last problem?â Lin Xiaodao asked.
Tianming breathed in deeply and looked at Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue. âIâm worried about my grandparentsâ safety.â
Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue froze and then their eyes reddened.
That was Tianmingâs biggest concern about going. The two elders couldnât leave for Gladeus, as they had to help the main clan. The Lin Clan disciples still needed these two.
âFengâer, I understand your feelings, but everyone has their own responsibilities. No one can be a coward,â Lin Xiao said.
âAnyway, weâve already lived long enough. Itâll be a win if we accomplish anything more. As long as you grow up to be one of the mundusâ strongest, thereâs nothing else we need,â Dongshen Yue choked up with emotion. The two already no longer cared about their lives. âHaving a grandson like you and such amazing granddaughters-in-law in our twilight years is already our greatest blessing. Thus, donât be held back because of us,â she continued.
âFengâer, men need to leave home and accomplish great things. Go to the battlefield that belongs to you and win glory. No matter what, the Lin Clan still needs us two old fellows, so weâll definitely take care of our lives.â Lin Xiao smiled.
Lin Xiaodao patted Tianming on the head and disdainfully said, âListen to your grandparentsâ sincere words. Also, you canât protect them even if you stay, so why not come with your master to the countryside to train?â
It wasnât a pleasant feeling, going back to a village after experiencing the city. However, the people in the city were too strong; it was filled with old monsters thousands of years old. In the end, he had come to Ebonia too early.
Tianming didnât say anything else. He walked forward and fell to his knees in front of his grandparents. âYour grandson wonât let you down. Iâll definitely survive and bring glory to the Lin Clan!â
Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue looked at Tianming with tears in their eyes.
âExactly! If it wasnât for you, why would I have worked with Yi Daiyan, who stole the Ancestral Swordheart? Wasnât it to give you a chance to grow? Perhaps youâll surpass me one day, and throw that woman off her throne!â Lin Xiaodaoâs gaze showed that he believed the possibility was real. After all, he believed that Tianmingâs talent was above infinitum-class.
âAbsolutely wrong!â Dongshen Yue glared at Lin Xiaodao.
âHuh?â Lin Xiaodao was surprised.
âYou should say that one day, Yi Daiyan will be the fifth rex mundi. My grandson and his wives will be the top four, âDongshen Yue said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHey, that boast kicks me out of the top ten.â Lin Xiaodao wasnât sure whether to laugh or cry.
âTop ten? When my grandson starts having descendants, you wonât even be in the top hundred.â
Tianming felt cold sweat. Regardless, he had already made his choice. He would go to Gladeus! âThe only pity is the seven marks on my caelum. If I could remove them, I could also go to the Skydome Battlefield and see what that imperial-class wonder is all about!â
â¦â¦
The ebons may erupt at any time, so they had to quickly leave for Gladeus.
With Ying Huo and the rest urging him as well, Tianming needed to go to the Prime Myriadsword Corporation, then go get his Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and say his last goodbyes at Brokensword Peak.
He had heard that Lin Hongchen, Lin Huan, Lin Lele, Lin Xiaogui, Lin Xiuzhu, and over a thousand other disciples under the age of five hundred were coming to Gladeus with him. It was clear how much self-confidence Lin Xiaodao had.
As long as the ebons didnât use all their strength in an expedition, they couldnât handle an ether-class astralguard formation. But if they did that, it would weaken their local power.
War was an inevitability. To Yi Daiyan and the other Infinitum Bodhimanda clans, crushing the ebonsâ monopoly was the only way to return peace to the Infinitum Bodhimanda and bring back the rule of law.
âTwo and a half million merits points? How wealthy?â Even Lin Xiaodao was envious.
âDonât have any thoughts!â Dongshen Yue glared.
âWhy would I? Iâm not even his wife!â
Honestly, after all their stressful lockdown, Feiling and the girls were raring to go shopping.
âMaster, Iâll need you to protect me on this shopping trip,â Tianming respectfully said.
âA small matter. Just donât forget to be filial to this old man when youâre rich,â Lin Xiaodao chuckled.
âDo you have any shame?â Dongshen Yue prodded him with her stick. Fortunately, she thought Tianming was quite the fast thinker, so Lin Xiaodao wouldnât be running circles around him.
Laughing, they all set out for the Prime Myriadsword Corporation.
âThe Prime Myriadsword Corporation is managed by Lin Changkong. Grannyâs already checked it out. Thereâs a lot of things good for you, so just follow me,â Dongshen Yue said.
âGreat!â
âGrandmother, remember to leave some merit points,â Feiling softly said.
âWhat for? You canât use them at Gladeus.â
âWe have to buy some clothesâ¦.â
âAlright!â
