152 Soaring to Great Heights (2/2)

His next move would be to treat Feng Lin's parents with kindness. As long as they were still here, Feng Lin would never leave the clan.

A moment's contradiction was no big deal. They could resolve it slowly and with time.

”Alright! I'll agree to it,” replied the clan leader.

Following the clap of the clan leader's decision, it meant that Feng Lin's family reached the ranks of high-grade clansmen, all but Feng Lin.

He didn't save any points for himself.

Feng Lin didn't care as he turned on his heel and walked.

Thereafter, the A.I ranked the other contenders based on the slight discrepancy of their timings and allocated their rewarded clan points as per usual.

Clan points were the currency used in trades within their clan. With it, one could purchase all sorts of items. There were some valuable products which could only be exchanged through clan points; you wouldn't even be able to buy them with star coins.

As long as you had clan points, there was nothing you couldn't buy from the clan.

Witnessing how Feng Lin had given up the clan points, the others couldn't help but stamp their feet in regret. If only those points were theirs!

Yet, Feng Lin seemed unconcerned as he returned straight to his family.

”Feng Lin, you really did it!” Feng Lang exclaimed with glee written all over his face as he met Feng Lin in the middle.

Feng Lin gave him a nod but spoke no more as he continued on his way.

There was no such thing as friendship between them. Everything was just a deal.

He had helped block out the pressures from the clan and take care of his family. In return, Feng Lin had suppressed the talented adversaries of the clan.

Everything was but a deal.

They have nothing to do with each other once the deal was done.

Feng Lin had his mind set on cultivation, and he had no interest in the clan's disputes.

”Son, how could you do that?” His father approached and continued with worry, ”You have given all the points to us! What about you then? You're alone with no support from the clan; it'll be difficult for you to continue on your cultivation path in the future!”

Feng Lin flashed a small smile. When had he received the clan's help in his journey?

However, he experienced way too much and the road was treacherous. It was too bizarre and complicated to explain to his family.

Feng Lin smiled as he replied with undisguised confidence. ”Father, Mother, don't worry. I have my ways, so don't worry too much. Didn't I become an interstellar cultivator with my own abilities? I wouldn't halt just because of this!”

”But…” His father was still skeptical.

”Don't worry. As long as you and my younger siblings can lead a happy life, I'm rest assured. I'll be able to pursue cultivation without worry! It's just ten million clan points, and I wouldn't be able to spend it outside of this clan anyway. It's no big deal!” Feng Lin brushed off their concerns.

Hearing his words, his parents knew that Feng Lin had made up his mind. With a sigh, they didn't persuade any further.

They felt a pang of guilt.

As his parents, they had never given Feng Lin much support, yet their fates changed because of their son.

Without realizing it, Feng Lin's wings had already grown and he had become a northern goshawk in the vast blue skies, out of their reach.

They could only pat his younger siblings' heads and sigh. ”If you find yourselves with bright prospects in the future, you must never forget your brother's benevolence. You must understand that it was him who has changed your fates and given you hope!”

The two younger siblings nodded as they regarded Feng Lin with admiration in their eyes.

The family gathered harmoniously, looking forward to the future ahead of them.

The envious looks all around them were not even worth a mention.

Feng Lin sighed inwardly. He made the appropriate arrangements for his family. Now, he could focus all his energy on cultivation and prepare for the interstellar entrance exams.

His future was the boundless ocean of stars!

Feng Lin's had a faraway look in his eyes as though he had leaped through time and space and seen the boundless astral river.

At that moment, the ceremony for the other nine contenders began. Feng Lin didn't plan on staying and was prepared to leave with his family.

Suddenly, a peal of soft laughter sounded. It was light yet crisp as it resounded in his ears. It was, however, without any hint of respect.

”Feng Lin, you're not bad at all! Do you have any interest in joining Interstellar Ancestral Clan? Do you want to become a true Huaxia Progeny of the Three Sovereigns? Do you want to awaken that supreme blood flowing in you?”
