“It’s not too late now.” Lin Xuanzhi said. “For every cultivator, as long as they have the determination, they will always be able to find a path that’s suitable for themselves.”

Yan Tianhen nodded in agreement.
When he saw how happy Lin Xuanzhi was, Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but timidly say in his heart, luckily he had browsed through lots of books ever since he was a kid and had a photographic memory, which was why he could easily find a cultivation book that was similar to 《Imperial Corpse Technique》from the nook and crannies of his memory’s storage of books.
If Lin Xuanzhi discovers that he’s not cultivating《Partial Arts》but《Imperial Corpse Technique》in the future…
Yan Tianhen snuck a peek at Lin Xuanzhi then decided to not think about that possibility anymore.

Soon after, Lin Xuanzhi was summoned by Fifth Elder. Fifth Elder had even specially instructed him to bring Yan Tianhen along.
On their way over, Lin Xuanzhi bumped into the Lin Zezhi, Bai Susu, and Lin Yurou who were walking over from the opposite direction.
The three of them had a long line of Lin family members following behind them with ingratiating smiles on their faces.
Lin Yurou was still chatting and laughing at first, but the moment she saw Lin Xuanzhi, her smile immediately stiffened.
In the past, she had always treated Lin Xuanzhi as her role model, and even had feelings of adoration towards him, so she had always fawned upon him. But after Lin Xuanzhi turned into a good-for-nothing and was sent back to the Lin family, she had only gone to visit Lin Xuanzhi once — and it was to double check if Lin Xuanzhi truly had no hope of recovering.
After she had gotten her answer, Lin Yurou distanced herself from Lin Xuanzhi at the request of her parents. They didn’t want their lineage to be implicated by Lin Xuanzhi.
And the main lineage now had clearly changed from Lin Zhan’s to Bai Ling’s and Lin Zezhi’s lineage.

It’s just that, no one had expected Lin Xuanzhi to start cultivating again, and to actually cultivate the equipment path!
This was out of everyone’s expectations. It could be said that Lin Xuanzhi had forcefully stuck his foot in Bai Ling and Lin Zezhi’s path to dominating the Lin family.
Bai Susu wore a disdainful expression on her face as usual. In any case, craftsmen were a dime a dozen in their Bai family, so it’s not like she was particularly amazed by the profession. What’s more, Lin Xuanzhi had just switched to the craftsman path not too long ago, so he was still far worse than the craftsmen in her Bai family who had cultivated this path ever since they were young.
Additionally, the Bai family was the Five Continent’s mainlands one and only elite-class craftsmen family, so Bai Susu naturally had a sense of superiority.

This is all because in their daily lives, any random Bai family member would be fawned over by countless admirers when they stroll down the streets. Thus, out of the three, only Lin Zezhi took the initiative to greet Lin Xuanzhi.
“Xuanzhi Tangxiong.” There was a decent smile on Lin Zezhi’s face. He wasn’t like this before and had always been arrogant, but Third Elder repeatedly chided him to remain calm. It’s only when he can maintain his composure that he can ruthlessly step on those below his feet in the future without leaving them any evidence to use against him.
Lin Xuanzhi casually uttered an ‘un’ to acknowledge them.

Lin Zezhi’s face immediately turned ugly.

Bai Susu was the first to express her dissatisfaction. She blocked Lin Xuanzhi’s path and rudely said, “Lin Xuanzhi, my Biaoge is talking to you, what kind of attitude is that?”
She couldn’t stand to look at anyone who would dare humiliate Lin Zezhi!
At the Law Enforcement Hall that day, Lin Xuanzhi had incited Fifth Elder to attack Madam Bai with just a few words. Bai Susu was extremely clear that hitting Madam Bai was obviously slapping the face of the her entire lineage. Fifth Elder had stepped on them to give Lin Xuanzhi face!
Bai Susu really hated Lin Xuanzhi to the core!
Lin Xuanzhi casually cast a glance at her, as if he was looking at air.
“What do you want?” Lin Xuanzhi asked.

Bai Susu said angrily, “You should at least stop walking and greet Biaoge with a smile on your face — that’s basic courtesy!”
Lin Xuanzhi almost laughed out loud, she wanted him to stop and greet Lin Zezhi with a smile on his face?
Frankly speaking, Lin Xuanzhi didn’t plan on currying favour with anyone, not even the one who had replaced his position as the top Lin family member of the younger generation — Lin Zezhi!
Yan Tianhen was amused, “What you just said is really interesting. What right does an outsider like you, who comes from the Bai family, have to point fingers at my Gege? When you saw my Gege, why didn’t you stop walking and bow to him? And now you’re even rudely accusing my Dage? Who gave you the right?”

Bai Susu immediately retorted, pointing at Yan Tianhen’s nose, “And what right do you have to question me? I’m a craftsman and an honoured guest of the Lin family. Not only is your surname not Lin, you’re also an ugly good-for-nothing!”
Yan Tianhen wasn’t angry and laughed instead as he nodded, “That’s right, as humans we should be self-aware. You see, even though I find Lin Zezhi unpleasant to look at, I wouldn’t try to stop him and suddenly preach to him. So you should do the same. Stop pointing fingers at my Dage, you don’t have the right. Also, even if you are a craftsman, it’s not like you have any real capabilities to speak of. You used up so much of the Lin family’s resources but I haven’t seen you produce a single piece of decent equipment yet.”
“You…”
Bai Susu’s face had flushed red from being berated. Lin Yurou furrowed her brows, then walked up and said, “Yan Tianhen, how could you talk to a girl so harshly? Susu might have stepped out of line, but she’s our family’s guest and she’s still young, so you should be more tolerant of her.”

Tolerant? If he’s tolerant to Bai Susu, then who would be tolerant of the Yan Tianhen in the past?
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help but remember that in his past life, after he had obtained a sky-level medicinal pill and restored his Dantian Qi sea, he immediately left the Lin family. Afterwards, Yan Tianhen turned into a target for the Lin family to vent their frustrations upon. People made things difficult for him all the time, and he was constantly humiliated, so he eventually fell onto the devil’s path. These people definitely didn’t play a small role in the distortion of Yan Tianhen’s mind.
Lin Xuanzhi thus coldly said, “Ah Hen is only 12 this year, he isn’t even 13 yet. But Bai Susu is already 15; with just one look you can tell who’s the younger one. Also, Ah Hen is my Didi, what right do any of you have to point fingers at him?”
Lin Yurou’s gentle and beautiful face turned pale. Her eyes were almost filled with tears and she looked like she had suffered a great grievance.
After Lin Xuanzhi finished speaking, he pulled Ah Hen, “Ah Hen, let’s go.”
