52 Bidding Goodbye to Family (2/2)

”I'm going to graduate very soon. I'm grown up now! Isn't going out to work something that I should do?” Feng Lin didn't reveal anything and just smiled.

After a day of hard work, his parent's faces were filled with fatigue. They didn't have the energy to continue the reprimands after a while.

In order to prevent them from asking further, Feng Lin quickly diverted the topic. ”Oh, right! I used the money earned from the part-time job to purchase mid-grade nutrient fluids. Not only can they replenish energy, but they can also help replenish nourishment for younger brother and sister, raising their cultivation aptitude!”

He walked toward the fridge and took out five bottles of mid-grade nutrient fluids.

”Yay! We can drink mid-grade nutrient fluids again!” When Feng Lin's younger siblings heard that, they immediately pounced toward him like two greedy kittens.

Feng Lin's parents looked at the mid-grade nutrient fluids, their emotions welling up. They felt ashamed, regretful, and helpless.

They felt ashamed that although they were parents, they were unable to provide their children with good conditions that could allow them to grow up strong and well.

They felt regretful because if Feng Lin had had enough nourishment, his cultivation aptitude wouldn't have been this bad. He was already in his third year in high school, yet his vitality was only at 0.4. He had no hopes of going for the college examinations and could only work at the clan's factory, with no prospects at all for his entire life.

They felt helpless as they were low-grade clansmen and really couldn't do anything about it.

The taste of the mid-grade nutrient fluids wasn't bad. They tasted much better than low-grade nutrient fluids. However, even though Feng Lin's younger siblings enjoyed them with a great sense of satisfaction, his parents felt as though they were tasteless, as if they were eating wax.

Feng Lin could tell what his parents were thinking. However, he didn't tell them that he was no longer the same as how he had been before.

If he were to share this fact abruptly, this overwhelming change would give the two of them a great scare, causing them to worry needlessly.

Feng Lin only thought of watching over this family and to let his parents and younger siblings have a stable living environment.

At the thought of this, his determination to break off from the clan grew.

”Father, mother, I've already applied for leave at school! I'll be taking on part-time jobs again in another few days' time!” Feng Lin said.

His parents were drinking the nutrient fluids, and they immediately stopped upon hearing that.

Feng Lin's father had on a sorrowful expression. ”How long will you be gone for? Don't be holding up your internship at the clan's factory. Otherwise, the Head Butler will blame and punish you!”

”Don't worry, it'll only be for a week!” Feng Lin told them a white lie.

If he didn't return after a week and the clan pursued this, there would be Feng Lang to handle the matter. Thus, Feng Lin wasn't worried.

Hearing that, his parents nodded and didn't object further.

After all, this wasn't something bad. The money earned could be used to replenish Feng Cheng's and Feng Xin's nourishment, increasing their cultivation aptitude so that they wouldn't walk down the same path as Feng Lin.

With Feng Lin intentionally guiding the conversation, the atmosphere became more relaxed and they shared a lot of laughter over dinner.

Seeing that it was late, Feng Lin's parents brought his younger siblings back to sleep.

Feng Lin returned to his dark bedroom and immediately drew back his smile.

It was rare that this time around, he didn't put in great effort to cultivate but instead, attempted to sleep on his bed.

He stared at the ceiling, not knowing why he was unable to sleep.

Tomorrow was a day that would change his destiny. If he took the right move, the world would open up for him, and he would be able to go wherever he wished to.

If it was a wrong move, then he could only leave the clan forcibly, wandering alone in the universe.

Feng Lin had the confidence that he'd be able to leave. However, it'd be difficult for him to bring his parents and younger siblings along!

Therefore, he wouldn't leave by himself selfishly until there was really no other way out.

He had no idea if things would turn out the way he wanted them to on this trip.

If it didn't, then he would...

No, things must work out...

For sure...

Feng Lin entered a deep slumber amidst the grogginess.

Early the next morning, before the sun was up, his eyes opened.

Feng Lin pretended as if nothing was wrong and started to clean up his room, bringing along all of the potions of life with him. These were all precious resources and were extremely important in the cultivation that would follow.

After taking a long look at his parents and younger siblings who were in deep sleep, Feng Lin turned and left with great resolution.

Father, mother, goodbye!

Young brother, younger sister, goodbye!
