Chapter 141 Leaving

The morning light sprinkled on the earth, bringing vitality.

Shui Lanxin hurried back to Tianshui City.

In the meeting hall of the Shui family, several figures sat down. The leader was an old man with a gray face and a head full of silver hair, who was resting with his eyes closed.

She was one of the few soul fighters in the Shui family, and also the one with the highest seniority in the entire family. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the Dinghai Shenzhen.

However, as Shui Lanxin's soul power level increased, her strength had already reached the top of the family. Even if these people were a little impatient, no one dared to complain.

After a while, a crisp sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

"Sorry, grandma, and all the elders, I should not be late, right?"

The old man slowly opened his eyes and smiled kindly, "My dear granddaughter is back, come to grandma."

Shui Lanxin nodded happily and walked to the old woman and sat down.

"Xin'er, you asked everyone to gather together this time. Is there anything you need to discuss?" The old woman held Shui Lanxin's hand, her tone was unusually gentle.

"Grandma, I do have something to discuss, about the future of the Shui family."

"Oh?!"

The old woman was obviously stunned, and the other people around her also showed strange expressions.

Since everyone present was her own people, Shui Lanxin did not hide her thoughts and expressed her thoughts.

"Emperor Xue Ye actually awarded the title of Marquis. I didn't expect that the little guy who was brought back by you, Xin'er, has become so outstanding now. Time flies!"

The old woman sighed and her words were full of emotion.

The real power of the Marquis, this is an honor that their Shui family has never had.

"So Lanxin, do you want us to rely on him?"

A middle-aged man sitting at the bottom spoke slowly.

"That's right!" Shui Lanxin nodded without hesitation, "Xiaochuan has a close relationship with His Majesty Dugu, and he has also done a great favor to the Ye family. Now that he has obtained the title and territory, he will soon be able to grow to a level that is not inferior to other forces. The elders should not object to this, right?"

Everyone present nodded silently.

With the support of Titled Douluo and the Ye family, as well as the money-making tools of elixirs and special soul guides, it only takes time to develop.

"But even so, we don't need to rely on him. After all, that guy is from Tianshui College. With this incense relationship, we can continue to cooperate, right?"

Another elder expressed his opinion.

Shui Lanxin looked calm and said slowly, "That being said, what if this relationship is exhausted? What's more, during this period of time, the family has made a lot of money with Xiaochuan's elixirs, and my strength has improved. It's already considered that we owe each other nothing."

"But after all, he just became a marquis. If we really want to rely on other forces, why don't we choose the more powerful Tiandou Empire or Wuhun Hall?"

"Nonsense, knowing that the empire and Wuhun Hall don't get along, are you going to be cannon fodder?"

Before Shui Lanxin opened her mouth to respond, another irritable Lao Deng took the lead in refuting.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"

The old woman in the lead paused with her cane, and the noisy meeting hall suddenly fell silent. Then she turned to look at Shui Lanxin with a smile on her face.

"Xin'er, tell me your reasons!"

"Grandma, Xiaochuan's territory is now in ruins. If we rely on him now, we will undoubtedly be the first batch, and our status and trust are far beyond the reach of those who come later."

"Of course, the most important thing is that Xiaochuan is too talented. He will definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future. Relying on such a force will definitely benefit the family without any harm."

Shui Lanxin paused, and then continued, "Grandma, you also know that the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall want to win over our major elemental academies openly and secretly. The Spirit Hall has begun to show its ambitions in this elite competition. Perhaps the entire continent will fall into chaos in a few years, and we can't stay out of it!"

The old woman looked thoughtful, and then sighed softly.

"But even if it's like what you said, Xin'er, the family will still be involved in the dispute. Instead of choosing a new noble, it's better to choose the Empire or the Spirit Hall."

The Shui family lacks the foundation and cannot have the right to speak like the three sects, so they can only be forced to compromise.

Seeing that her grandmother was not confident, Shui Lanxin did not speak, but directly transmitted the message.

The old woman's turbid eyes suddenly brightened, and her face was shocked, "Xin'er, you are not kidding?"

Shui Lanxin shook her head, "Of course not."

"If that's the case..."

The old woman fell into thought, and after a moment, a sense of determination emerged around her.

"I support Xin'er's idea, I can rely on it, and the family's medicine business comes from that young man after all. If we give up, it will also be a loss to the family. What are other people's opinions?"

Everyone looked at each other one after another, with different thoughts.

You made the decision directly, so what if they have opinions?

As if she could see what the elders were thinking, Shui Lanxin added softly, "Elders, don't worry. Xiaochuan even gave the soul bones he won in the elite competition to Bing'er and Yue'er, which is enough to prove that he is very generous to his own people. If the family does not want to become a victim of the struggle between the Empire and the Spirit Hall, this may be the only way out!"

"We agree!"

In the end, all the elders of the Shui family had to agree.

...

The Shui family's decision was obviously unexpected by Lin Chuan.

But no matter what, this is undoubtedly good news. Now that the territory is in ruins, it is undoubtedly a good thing to have the Shui family's full assistance.

In addition, although the Ye family has few members, there are many management talents who can be put to good use.

"Sure enough, professional things should be left to professionals!"

In the Xueyuan City Manor, Lin Chuan was lying on a rocking chair, basking in the sun and enjoying the feeding from Ye Lingling. He was very leisurely.

Shui Lanxin, who had just walked into the courtyard, saw this scene and immediately rolled her eyes.

"Xiaochuan, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

"Aren't all nobles like this?"

Lin Chuan was not ashamed, but proud of it.

Now he can understand the happiness of nobles. They don't have to do anything, but they have endless money and resources. No wonder so many people are eager to become nobles.

It is true that the rich are drunk and feasting, while the poor are freezing on the road.

Hearing this, Shui Lanxin's face suddenly became serious, and she reminded him earnestly, "Xiaochuan, don't be like some nobles who only know how to indulge in pleasure all day long. Besides, I support you with my family, so don't lead us to destruction."

"Don't worry, Dean. Since you trust me so much, I will naturally not lead you into a trap."

Lin Chuan chuckled, and his expression was rarely serious.

"When all affairs in the territory are stabilized, I will set off with Yanzi and Lingling. I dare not say that the Shui family will become the number one family in the world in the future, but at least it will not be a problem to establish a sect and enter the top three sects. This is also my promise to you."

Hearing this, Shui Lanxin was shocked for a short time, and her eyes softened inexplicably.

"I'll remember what you said. If we can't achieve it in the future, I won't let you go."

Lin Chuan shrugged very frivolously, "Haha, why don't you let me go? At worst, I'll let you entangle for the rest of your life!"

"Bah, little pervert!"

Shui Lanxin's cheeks flushed, and she spat softly, "Since you have your own plan, I'm relieved. There are still many things to do, so I'll go and get busy first."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Chuan to respond, Shui Lanxin turned around and left with a voluptuous figure.

...

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

With the concerted efforts of the Shui family and the Ye family, Lin Chuan has almost completely taken over the entire territory, and all the important positions in all the cities have been arranged with trustworthy people.

Lin Chuan underestimated himself a little, and also underestimated the attraction of a territory noble to the new generation of soul masters.

During this period, many young soul masters came from afar to join him, which surprised him, but he did not refuse, but accepted them all.

It's just that before the details are investigated, these people cannot get close to the core group.

Now that the rear is stable, Lin Chuan will naturally not continue to be leisurely. He has not forgotten that there is still the threat of Haotian Sect and Tang San that has not been resolved, and the war that will affect the entire continent in a few years.

Without sufficient strong support, there is no way to control one's own destiny in this turmoil.

Outside the manor, a carriage is ready.

"Dean, Aunt Ye, I'll leave Xueyuan City to you!"

Lin Chuan stood beside the car and whispered to Shui Lanxin and Ye Rong.

"Don't worry, Xiaochuan, when you come back, you will see a completely different territory, so don't be surprised then."

Shui Lanxin, who has handed over all the affairs of Tianshui College to Leng Man, has become the steward of Xueyuan City, managing the territory together with Ye Rong.

One is the dean of the Soul Master College, and the other is the head of the Ye family. Naturally, they are quite familiar with these affairs. With them around, Lin Chuan is very relieved.

Ye Rong smiled, "Xiaochuan, please take care of my Lingling."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Yanzi and Lingling!" Lin Chuan nodded, his tone was particularly serious.

Dugu Bo also said in a deep voice, "Lin boy, don't worry, I will never let anyone destroy your territory at will, but you have to let me take good care of Yanyan!"

"Then I will trouble you, senior. We will be back in two or three years at most. Goodbye everyone!"

Lin Chuan waved to everyone, turned around and got on the carriage, and slowly drove away.

Until the carriage disappeared at the end of the road, Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er who stayed there showed a touch of sadness, with deep reluctance in their eyes.

A hand suddenly fell on their shoulders.

Shui Lanxin smiled helplessly and said with some heartache, "Actually, if you don't want to leave, you can also go with Xiaochuan and the others."

Shui Yueer forced a smile and shook her head stubbornly, "No, Aunt Shui, Sister Yan and Lingling are going to participate in the God's test. I don't know how much they will improve next time I see them."

"You guys..." Shui Lanxin smiled and shook her head, and suddenly took out a jade bottle from the soul guide, "This is what Xiaochuan asked me to give you before he left. In addition, he left a message, asking you to practice well. When he comes back next time, he will take you to participate in the God's test. Whether you can get the recognition of the gods depends on your efforts!"

Hearing this, the two sisters' eyes suddenly lit up.

The two women looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

"Aunt Shui, don't worry, Bing'er and I will definitely work hard, and we will never be left too far behind by Sister Yan and Lingling!"

"Then you two should work hard!"

Shui Lanxin gently touched Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's heads, with an especially gentle look.

If you want to stand beside Lin Chuan...
