I Am Actually the Old Patriarch of the Xiao Family

"This is not a place to talk...Grandpa will take you to a place."

Xiao Lin stretched out his hand, grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulder, and led him to disappear here in an instant.

The next moment, they penetrated many spaces and appeared on a lonely mountain.

"Grandpa... where is this?"

"This is the relic of the largest power in the Jia Ma Empire."

"Misty Cloud Mountain?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback when he heard the sound, and took a private look, and sure enough, he saw many broken arms and ruins in the shadows of the forest.

It was his first time here.

When the members of the Xiao family used to fight, he had been quietly hiding in the back, concentrating on cultivation, and taking care of many things in the back at the same time.

So he has never been here, even when he was young, he was not qualified to come to this mountain.

When he was qualified later, there was nothing to see on this mountain.

Now that he came here suddenly, many things that had happened in the past also suddenly appeared in his mind.

When he was a child, he had seen Nalan Yanran before, but after the Xiao family fell, he never saw Nalan Yanran again.

Thinking about it now, this is really a distant name.

"Grandpa, why did you suddenly think of bringing me here?"

"I just took you to take a look. I also suddenly thought that you have never been here. Although there are only ruins left here, you can still see some shadows of the past after all."

Xiao Lin stood on a cliff, which was not a cliff originally, but the place where the Tianmen used to be placed.

Ever since Xiao Lin took the Tianmen away, this huge hole has been left here.

The reason why he brought Xiao Yan here was not only to find a quiet place to talk, but also because Xiao Yan was indeed deeply involved here.

Without his interference, Xiao Yan would appear here one day, as that young man who can't bully the young and the poor.

It's just that Xiao Lin interfered too much, and now Xiao Yan's personality is quite different.

If one has to say what Xiao Yan's personality looks like now, then even Xiao Lin has to say that Xiao Yan is very much like a decent adult.

It's the kind of people who have the ability to do things, not just pretending.

"I know you won't come to me for no reason. It's been a long time since you two talked to me last time."

In Xiao Lin's words, he didn't completely regard Xiao Yan as his grandson.

In any case, Xiao Yan is a time traveler after all. Originally following the normal trajectory, he quietly accepted the polishing of the environment and could become an existence similar to a person in this world, but Xiao Lin appeared.

The original historical trajectory no longer exists in this time and space, so Xiao Yan's style of dealing with the world has also changed somewhat.

Just like now.

If Xiao Yan was still the Xiao Yan in the book, he would definitely not be like this now.

But his appearance is exactly what Xiao Lin wants to see. The Xiao family doesn't need a brainless young man, nor does he need a Xiao Yan who doesn't bully the young and the poor.

"You must have a lot of doubts in your heart. I know this. I have been waiting for you to come and ask me, but since you and I expressed your thoughts that time, you have never said these things to me again. .”

Xiao Lin turned his back to Xiao Yan, floating on the clouds.

"Let's talk about it this time. Let's talk about it. If you have any questions, I will tell you."

"Actually, there aren't that many questions. My grandson just wants to ask one thing today."

Xiao Yan lowered his head and asked word by word.

"Why am I doing these things now?"

"..."

Xiao Lin was silent for a while, then suddenly he laughed.

"This question... I probably asked myself when your brother was the same age."

"What are you doing all this for?"

"Actually, there is no reason."

"In life, there are always many things that need to be pushed forward, which are not up to you to decide."

"Now you feel that the roads I have arranged for you make you feel very confused. Although you are following the roads I arranged for you, it doesn't make much sense, does it?"

"Ah."

"But have you ever thought that even if I hadn't arranged these paths for you, your life wouldn't have changed much?"

Xiao Lin's voice seemed a little ethereal as the wind blew.

"You will still practice and continue to live a peaceful life under the protection of your family, but in that case, will you be willing?"

of course not.

After all, Xiao Yan is a time traveler in his bones. Since he has lived a new life, who would be willing to be a mediocre person?

If he was willing, he would not have allowed Xiao Lin to embark on this road of becoming an emperor.

354 Xiao Lin's Way of Education

Now that you have embarked on this path, you must go on well.

But this road is not so easy.

People need to experience some setbacks, and setbacks and opportunities are equally important things in a person's growth path.

Xiao Lin accepted Xiao Yan's life trajectory, and arranged for him very smoothly while protecting him, so Xiao Yan didn't feel any setbacks.

This makes what he says and reacts now, especially like moaning without illness.

He has never experienced the hardships of others, and does not know the hardships of others, but Xiao Lin has experienced these things, so he understands Xiao Yan's current difficulties very well.

"Actually, the method is not important. What you should really know is what you want to do in the future?"

Xiao Lin made a wrong step, and his whole body suddenly appeared behind Xiao Yan. He stretched out a hand and patted Xiao Yan's back, making him raise his head.

"Look ahead, what do you see?"

Xiao Yan raised his head and looked into the distance, but only saw a vast sea of ​​clouds.

"Grandson... saw the cloud."

"anything else?"

"No more, just clouds of all kinds."

The sea of ​​clouds in front of him completely covers the other scenery. In the sea of ​​clouds, there are all kinds of scenes and shapes formed by clouds. Whether it is people or monsters, they just have no real appearance.

"That's right, this is the world."

Xiao Lin waved his hand and sent out a wave of battle energy, breaking up the clouds in front of him, but after they dispersed, the clouds returned to their previous shape again. Of course, the scene also changed a little.

"Even if it is a powerful force, it is difficult to change the appearance of the world,

You just concentrate on cultivating and walking forward according to the path I have planned for you, but you never pay attention to the people around you,

Whether it's in Canaan Academy or in the empire, no one has ever bullied you, because you are the prince of the Longevity Empire,

Your grandparents, uncles and elders are all strong men above Dou Zong. You have enough backing, so naturally no one dares to touch you easily.

It's just that you look at the sea of ​​clouds in front of you, even if it is swept by fighting spirit, it is difficult to clean up this vast sea of ​​clouds, and this is the world. "

Xiao Lin's voice was steady and gentle, making one sound extremely reassuring.

"You are in the world, so what you do is naturally for this."

The reason why Xiao Yan took this path was not only because of Xiao Yan's own choice, but also because Xiao Lin needed to prepare a back road.

Although he has a system, the system is not as straightforward as he thought. Even if he usually asks the system some questions, sometimes he can't get an answer.

The system must hide a lot of secrets, so Xiao Lin tried his best not to rely on the system when doing things. He planned every step of his own very clearly, not just to make himself stronger,

The most basic requirement is actually just to leave a way for oneself to survive.

"Like grandpa, you are not from this world. It's just a coincidence that you came here and became a grandson again. How small is the probability of this, have you ever thought about it?"

"Grandson has thought about it, and it is precisely because of it that grandson came to grandpa to ask today. After all, grandpa has lived so much longer than grandson in this world, and he must be able to understand more."

"It's fate, or God's will, that the two of us can meet. Since there is a fate between grandparents and grandchildren, then I will naturally protect your life and future."

"Remember? Grandpa asked you a question back then."

"Yes, grandpa asked me back then, do you want to become a fighting emperor?"

Xiao Yan paused, and asked with some doubts:

"But the matter of becoming Emperor Dou... Although Grandpa has paved the way for me, I still feel a little uncertain.

As my strength gradually became stronger, and I watched the people around me change one after another, I felt more and more powerless.

Especially my grandfather asked me to stay by Xun'er's side, but the longer I stayed with her, although the friendship between the two of us grew stronger, the secrets about her made me feel a little unbearable. "

Xiao Yan is well aware of Xun'er's family power.

A lot of information about the ancient race, other ancient races, and Zhongzhou came from the past memories of the Xiao family, some from Yaochen's supplements, and some from Xiao Lin's memory.

And these things are things that everyone in the Xiao family needs to know.

Today's Xiao family has fallen, but the ancient family is extremely brilliant, and the gap between the two is self-evident.

"If you really feel like you can't take it, let it go."

Xiao Lin didn't particularly care about Xun'er.

When he made this move back then, he just wanted to leave a childhood sweetheart for Xiao Yan in consideration of the story in his memory.

As for the Gu Clan, there is no rush.

Even if Xiao Lin wanted to pursue some kind of relationship, he might not be willing.

The Gu Clan's attitude towards the Xiao family has always been very clear. Except for Gu Yuan, almost no one can think highly of the now declining Xiao family.

Xiao Lin himself didn't care, originally he was most concerned about the two things of the Gu Clan, one was that the Gu Clan at least protected the Xiao Clan, and the other was that Xiao Xuan was still in the Gu Clan at the time.
