Chapter 466 Arrangement
Ye Wei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Xiao Bei's attitude, but she was still not entirely at ease. After all, she knew from Lin Zhao's words that Lin Yi was the most qualified person to raise Xiao Bei.
Perhaps sensing Ye Wei's mood, Lin Yi picked up Xiao Bei from Lin Zhao's arms and placed him in Ye Wei's arms: "I have too many things on my mind and am not suitable to raise this little brat. I will entrust this little thing to Miss Ye from now on. Xiao Bei is a good name, but as his brother, I still hope that his son knows that Xiao Bei's father's surname is Bai, and he was once the second assassin of Panlong Tower, Bai Qilin. His mother was the famous Qingxue Fairy of the Ancestral Dragon Continent."
Ye Wei took Xiao Bei, her eyes slightly moist, and said thank you to Lin Yi.
Whether in her past life or this life, her greatest concern in this world is Xiao Bei. Over the years, she has relied on Xiao Bei for survival in the City Lord's Mansion, so naturally she does not want the child to leave her.
"I'll have someone give Xiao Bei his living expenses regularly." Lin Yi could tell that Ye Wei wanted to refuse, so he shook his head: "Consider it my last act of kindness to my brother."
Ye Wei didn't say anything more.
As for Xiao Bei, Lin Zhao had been paying close attention to the child's emotional changes.
After learning about his background, Xiao Bei did not show much emotion. Perhaps he had already thought that his parents were no longer alive, or perhaps he had considered even worse possibilities. Now that he knew the truth, the child showed a calmness beyond his years.
After she explained her background to him, she was able to accept it quickly and was willing to acknowledge Lin Yi as her godfather. It wasn't until she sensed that Ye Wei, who was holding her, was about to cry that he showed a bit of the naivety that a child his age should have, raising his hand to wipe Ye Wei's face: "Mother, don't cry."
Lin Zhao and Lin Yi exchanged a glance, and they no longer had the idea of taking the child away from Ye Wei.
Ye Wei pinched the child's cheek: "Why are you crying, Mom? Quickly thank your godfather and our benefactor. If they weren't our benefactors, neither of us would be alive now."
Xiao Bei climbed down from Ye Wei's arms and gave Lin Zhao a proper bow: "Thank you, benefactor."
Lin Zhao looked at him for a while: "This child is still two years old, so he can be tested for spiritual roots, right?"
Ye Wei nodded.
"The matter of helping you return to the Red Dragon Clan must be resolved within two years. Besides testing the child's spiritual roots, the most important thing is that your Crimson Dragon Heart will always be coveted by others."
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
Back then, wasn't Lin Zhao coveted by the Ji family because she was weak but possessed the destiny of a phoenix?
The Phoenix's Fortune is not something that ordinary people can take away, but the Crimson Dragon's Heart is different. In Ye Wei, who is still young, it has become a rare treasure.
"If Miss Ye doesn't mind, you can cultivate with Xiao Bei in the secret realm during this time. Once my second brother and I have finished dealing with our urgent matters, we'll see if we can contact the Red Dragon Clan."
To be honest, although Lin Zhao joined the army of the Great Qin Dynasty, ever since he learned that the Duan Ye family of the Great Qin Dynasty was actually related to the eldest princess of the Great Qing Dynasty, and that Ji Wulian even called Young Master Duan Ye "Master", Lin Zhao began to doubt whether other dynasties could truly threaten the position of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Since the current dynasty is unreliable, why not support a new one?
This idea is somewhat audacious. After all, Lin Zhao himself is not as well off in the Ancestral Dragon Plane as he was in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane. He has information from Cheng Hai and is blessed by the Phoenix Luck. He is already favored by the Ancestral Phoenix Plane. He can just go directly to the Phoenix Medicine Sect to complete the mission.
In the Ancestral Dragon Plane, Lin Zhao could only look around and see enemies and her second brother, who was burdened with debts.
After leaving the secret realm with Lin Yi, Lin Yi said, "You said before that you joined the army of the Great Qin Dynasty? You have good judgment. Among the several dynasties around here that can rival the Great Qing Dynasty, the army of the Great Qin Dynasty is the strongest."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao took a deep breath.
Even the strongest dynasty has been infiltrated by such a large thorn; other dynasties can forget about it. It seems that to support a new dynasty, we must base it on the Qin Dynasty.
"Let's put the Qin Dynasty's affairs aside for now; there's no rush."
Even if this attempt fails, there are so many high-level dynasties; we can just try another one. After all, Zhao Lin's identity was fabricated, and the major dynasties don't conduct population censuses, especially those targeting cultivators, with such rigor.
"Second Brother, why don't you tell me how to win the position of Tower Master of Panlong Pagoda?"
Lin Yi stroked his chin: "Because assassins are not well-regarded in the cultivation world, very few cultivators are willing to do it, so the Panlong Tower is not even considered a first-rate power in this Ancestral Dragon Plane."
Lin Zhao nodded; of course she knew this.
In order to avoid being burdened with karmic debts, what normal cultivator would be willing to kill someone who has no karmic debts?
There are only a few desperate criminals left, but these desperate criminals with high cultivation levels are not fools. Rather than being assassins, these cultivators with higher cultivation levels would rather become elders in a more powerful sect, where they would not only have a higher status and more freedom, but also be able to take on disciples and show them respect.
Therefore, the profession of assassin is considered dangerous and mysterious only in the mortal realm, but in the cultivation world...
In fact, they can be equated with cheap, elite assassins.
Therefore, it is evident that the Panlong Tower has quite a bit of skill in turning such an unpopular profession among cultivators into a second-rate force in a plane.
"Within the Panlong Tower, the three most powerful cultivators are the three Venerable Elders, all of whom are at the Integration Stage. Most of the power in the Panlong Tower rests with these three Venerable Elders. Below them is the Tower Master, whose status is equivalent to that of the Venerable Elders. The Tower Master also has some power, but it is not as great as that of the Venerable Elders. The current Tower Master's strength is probably at the peak of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, but his lifespan is coming to an end, and he has no hope of reaching the Integration Stage."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao asked, "Have these three elders been replaced?"
Lin Yi shook his head: "Since I came here, I have checked the files of Panlong Tower. These three elders have never been replaced, but the tower master has been replaced seven times. After the tower master steps down and is still alive, at most he can only retire to the rank of elder. No one has ever been promoted to the rank of elder."
"why?"
"Because to sit in the position of elder, one must reach the Integration Stage in cultivation. However, as you know, the secret technique of the Panlong Tower will overdraft a person's lifespan and potential, allowing the cultivator to advance rapidly in a short period of time. Therefore, almost no cultivator can live to advance to the Integration Stage."
Lin Zhao looked at him for a while: "Maybe it's not that he won't live?"
Lin Yi frowned: "What does Zhao Zhao mean?"
"If the secret technique used by the Panlong Pagoda can only allow a person to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, regardless of their potential and lifespan?"
One or two generations is fine, three generations is also acceptable, but it's very strange that after so many generations of tower masters and so many assassins, no cultivator has successfully reached the Integration Stage.
Lin Yi exhaled: "I had doubts about that too, but only the three elders and the tower master have the right to review the secret techniques of the Panlong Tower, and the secret techniques on my body have been almost completely destroyed by demonic energy."
Therefore, it is impossible to use oneself as a test subject.
Lin Zhao stared intently at him: "Then, Second Brother, how did you offend the Demon Lord back then?"
The answer to this question will determine their future plans.
