154 I will establish an interstellar prestigious clan myself! (1/2)

”Protector?” Feng Lin was puzzled. What did this mean?

”That's right. As long as you become my protector, you can come with me back to my Interstellar Ancestral Clan!” Feng Shaoyou smiled and nodded, with an expression like Feng Lin had just stumbled upon the greatest fortune of his life.

”Being your protector, what responsibilities do I have? What missions would I need to do?” Feng Lin didn't lose his calm. He had an indifferent look on his face as he asked.

There wouldn't be free lunch in the world.

This Feng Shaoyou wouldn't be so nice to him without a reason. There should be something beneficial to him which Feng Lin didn't know about.

In any case, the title 'Protector' seemed to mean him becoming a subordinate of others.

Feng Lin had to know the reason clearly or he might be sold off by this Feng Shaoyou without even knowing.

Feng Shaoyou upon seeing that Feng Lin didn't lose his reasoning when he heard of this good news felt even more admiration for Feng Lin in his heart. ”The word 'protector' is a term from ancient cultivation records. The responsibilities are very simple. The interstellar space is simply too dangerous, not only are there many terrifying alien races, but there are also many conflicts between humans. Things are not calm at all. If a cultivator wishes to grow stronger, their future would be filled with extreme danger and they might even die at any time. Hence, for those cultivators with boundless futures, they would always search for protectors of their own. These protectors need to have combat prowess that far surpassed the peers of their generation. After the cultivator matures, he or she would then pull their protectors along, giving them benefits to raise their cultivation. This is a mutually beneficial relationship!”

After he spoke until here, Feng Shaoyou smiled at Feng Lin. It was like he could already see the joy on Feng Lin's face as Feng Lin impatiently agreed.

Protector? Isn't that just a glorified term for someone's hired thug?

A cold smile appeared on Feng Lin's lips. Was there anything good about being someone's protector?

”While the universe keeps rolling on an orbit, a superior man makes a continuous endeavor to advance. Sorry, if I wish to explore the universe, I will depend on my own abilities to enter the interstellar university. I will definitely not become subordinate to someone.” Feng Lin decisively rejected.

”You actually reject my offer?” The smile on Feng Shaoyou's face completely vanished; his face became as cold as ice.

However, Feng Lin didn't give a damn. His expression was as calm as ever as he stared at Feng Shaoyou.

”Do you know what sort of opportunity you are missing out?” After being deadlocked for a few moments, Feng Shaoyou icily spoke. His eyes had a resentful expression as though Feng Lin was too dumb for words.

Opportunity?

The smile on Feng Lin's lips widened.

There are only opportunities where one had to strive constantly to achieve. For opportunities bestowed by others, he disdained to grab them.

”The solar system is one of the star regions with the lowest cultivation standards. It cannot even be compared to the Bermuda Star Region, Carribean Star Region, Mediterranean Star Region...that are infested by interstellar pirates! The reason is simply because the spirit substances have all been exhausted since ancient times, and it has to depend on supply from other places for cultivation resources. In this place, the highest you can progress would be the elite cultivator realm. That's the absolute limit; it's possible to climb any higher. For a mountain where there are no tigers, even monkeys can become the king. If you wish for a brighter future, you can only head into the interstellar space. As a member of a Feng Clan, returning to the Ancestral Clan should be your greatest hope. I'm also the only one who can help you…” Feng Shaoyou's voice was extremely glacial as he harshly spoke.

Upon seeing that he was about to continue, Feng Lin shook his head and interjected, ”There's no need for you to worry about my future. What's deserved to be mine will be mine; there cannot be a single thing lacking. As for the things others can 'give' me, I rather not touch them at all. I will depend on my own effort and strength to enter the interstellar space!” Feng Lin stated.

If he couldn't depend on himself even after becoming an interstellar cultivator, what was the point in cultivation?

On his path leading to this point, Feng Lin had always depended on himself. When had he depended on others before?

He hadn't done this in the past, he didn't do this now, and he definitely wouldn't do this in the future!

The true logic of cultivators meant that one had to unceasingly break through the limits of their life shackles to evolve into a higher lifeform, gaining the power to control their fates.

Once he depended on others, he would lose his own initiative and freedom, becoming a mere subordinate. What was the point in cultivating then?

In the legends, to break free from the control of the heavenly courts, the Great Sage Equal to Heavens, Sun Wukong, wreaked great havoc and turned the entire heavens upside down.

The path Feng Lin was walking on was Sun Wukong's path. He had even experienced the Great Sage Will and there was no doubt that he would never agree to Feng Shaoyou. If not, wouldn't he have thrown face for the Sun Wukong's mythological path?

”In that case, you are unwilling to be my protector, right?” Feng Shaoyou's gaze was as sharp as swords. A dangerous aura began to radiate from his body.

Upon seeing the malicious look on Feng Shaoyou's face, as well as the fact that he kept hinting that he would miss a huge opportunity if he didn't become his protector, Feng Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud. He felt that his choice was the correct one.

Leaving aside the fact that Feng Lin would never become someone's subordinates, even if he was willing to, given how narrow-minded this Feng Shaoyou was, Feng Lin would never choose him as his master.
