152 Soaring to Great Heights (1/2)

When one achieved greatness, their family would soar with them!

There was an old saying that if one achieved Dao and attained immortality, their parents and family members would soar into the world of immortals as well.

That similar scene unfolded right before the spectators' eyes. It felt surreal as though it had been a dream.

They looked toward Feng Lin's parents and siblings with mixed feelings.

They were just low-grade clansmen, yet they leaped through the ranks simply because they had a great son.

They were talking about ten million clan points! Even divided among the four of them, it was enough to raise their ranks to 3rd-level clansmen, stepping through the doorstep of being high-grade clansmen. They would have surpassed 95% of the clansmen.

They would only require four million clan points to become high-grade clansmen, and the remaining amount would have been enough for them to lead their life without worries and enjoy it in abundance.

Even if they wasted their time away until their last breath, they would not be able to finish it.

What had they done? All they did was to have given birth to a good son.

A phoenix rose from a pheasant's nest.

Why didn't such great fortune befall upon them instead?

Witnessing as the snares from heaven captured by that pair of slightly dull-witted parents instead, they could hardly disguise the jealousy and hatred on their faces.

”Have you decided?” The clan leader reconfirmed one last time.

”Yes!” Feng Lin replied resolutely. The number of times they had questioned his decision was getting on his nerves.

The clan leader was troubled. There was something different about the abrupt appearance of this Feng Lin. He seemed to have a concealed independence from the clan.

How could he have given up on such a huge amount of clan points so easily!

What did that mean?

It meant that Feng Lin didn't possess any sense of belonging toward the clan.

However, it was understandably true.

Upon his understanding of Feng Lin's life before, the clan leader thought it to be possible.

Feng Lin had always been quiet and never received any benefits from the clan. While growing up, he was also extremely unhappy from the Head Butler's pressure, to the point where he had run away from the clan in secret.

They didn't know what had happened to him during this period that caused him to grow by leaps and bounds.

That said, the clan did not spend a single cent during the entire process of his growth.

It was only normal that Feng Lin didn't favor the clan much and could give up such valuable clan points without hesitation.

Even so, as the leader of the clan, he had to put the clan as a priority through every decision.

Every gifted cultivator was the biggest asset to a clan.

It would be a great pity if such a talent drifted away from the clan and did not contribute their fair share to the latter.

Yet, since the lad's mind had been made, it was honestly difficult to persuade him otherwise.

Then what should he do?

He frowned. For a moment, he didn't know what would be the best course of action.

All of a sudden, an idea struck as he looked toward Feng Lin's parents.

Feng Lin didn't possess any sense of belonging to the clan, and he could have gone practically anywhere with his abilities, so why did he come back?

It was probably for his family that he stayed.

The clan might not be able to keep him, but his family could.

As the clan leader, he was a sneaky fox himself and saw through Feng Lin's thoughts.

Feng Lin had boundless prospects in the days ahead. As the disparity of vitality grew between him and his family and their path in life diverged, it was difficult to stay in the same place.

This was why he was willing to tolerate his distaste for the clan and wanted to keep his regular family members under the protection of the clan.

At that thought, the clan leader gained an epiphany. He knew what to do.
