369 Advice From Lin You (1/2)

Wang Baole didn't have to wait long for his lesson. After ending the transmission with Lin Tianhao, Lin You made himself a cup of tea. He took a sip, waited for a moment, and after he drank half a cup of tea, he took out his voice transmission ring and called Wang Baole.

The timing wasn't too hurried or too delayed; it was just right. The other party would be able to sense his sincerity as well as his composure. This was a life lesson that Lin You had distilled from his long life. It was something that those who hadn't experienced it personally wouldn't be able to understand.

Wang Baole had been expecting Lin You to call and thank him when his voice transmission ring vibrated. He saw Lin You's name on the device and was about to pick it up. Then, he thought for a bit. He waited for a few moments before putting the call through.

Wang Baole's interactions with Lin You were limited. Lin Tianhao acted as their intermediary most of the time. The last time Wang Baole had contacted Lin You was because of Lin Tianhao's disappearance, and he had made the call while feeling extremely guilty for what had happened.

Despite their limited interactions, they were able to converse with ease. Lin You was an extremely charming person. His charm wasn't limited to his physical appearance but came from the way he treated others and his attitude towards other people. He congratulated Wang Baole and thanked him for giving Lin Tianhao such an important task.

Lin You then paused, seeming to be taking a sip of tea before he spoke again, softly.

”Baole, you and Tianhao are of the same age. That's why I'm going to treat you like a nephew. Have you ever thought about your future progression in the Federation?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”I've heard about your ambition. You want to become the Federation President. That is a good ideal to strive towards. I envy your father. If Tianhao could be as ambitious as you, I would be able to put my mind at ease as well.” Lin You sighed. He had said that from his heart. He had lacked for nothing in this life. He was gifted with above-average talents and was confident that with time, he would be able to reach the Nascent Soul based on his talents and resources!

His greatest regret was Lin Tianhao… that was why he was so grateful towards Wang Baole.

Wang Baole coughed after hearing what Lin You said.

”Uncle Lin, you are right. I thought the same since I was a little boy. I envy my father for having such a good looking, talented, and ambitious son as well.”

Lin You fell into momentary silence. He seemed to have come to his senses after hearing what Wang Baole said. He had an odd expression on his face, and he hastily changed the topic and spoke immediately.

”Baole, you have now reached an important point in your career. The times have changed. It's no longer what it was before when I was young. When I was young, as long as your cultivation was sufficient, as long as you possessed certain maturity and will, and were willing to showcase yourself, you would either fall from grace or rise up the ranks to stand above the rest!

”Now, the climate has stabilized. Every political force desires a prolonged period of stability and security. Even if Duan Muque has grand visions and ambitions for the future, he finds great difficulty in each progressive step he's taking.

”That is why… what I mean is, in such times, a Primary Rank Four Noble is the highest rank a person without power and authority can hope to achieve. If nothing unexpected occurs… you have now reached the pinnacle of your life. Nothing will change unless you are like our Fellow Daoist Osmanthus, who reached the perfected Core Formation realm and broke through the glass ceiling.

”However, you must pray that when that happens, the Federation President and people like us haven't advanced to the Nascent Soul realm…

”Baole, do you understand what I'm getting at? If you wish to progress, it'd remain difficult to do so even if your cultivation reaches the Core Formation realm. After all, currently, the four Dao Colleges aren't headed by the Ethereal Dao College…”

Lin You's words were straightforward and honest. He was analyzing Wang Baole's future based on his vast experience. That was why Wang Baole grew more serious as he listened to Lin You. He pondered over what Lin You said and couldn't deny that most of what Lin You said was true.

He became slightly depressed. He wondered if there might be any major contributions that he could make in order to advance from a Primary Rank Four Noble to a Secondary Rank Three or even Primary Rank Three Noble.

”However, you have become the mayor of the new Martian city zone. You have made a correct move. In fact, this could be an opportunity for you…
