Lin Yun guessed that the “Brother Mu” Ke Xin mentioned was probably a few years older than her. For him to say that servants are slaves, Lin Yun felt his values were warped.
Naturally, Lin Yun did not want his daughter to be friends with someone with such skewed values.
“Oh,” Lin Ke Xin nodded.
At that moment, Yu Ying also arrived in the backyard.
“Brother Yun, I heard you started lecturing Ke Xin as soon as you returned?” Yu Ying approached with a beaming smile.
“When a child misbehaves, they need timely correction,” Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
“You’ve always treated Ke Xin like your treasure, yet you’re willing to discipline her,” Yu Ying teased with a laugh.
“Ying’er, if Ke Xin makes mistakes in the future, you must speak up when needed,” Lin Yun earnestly instructed.
“Got it,” Yu Ying nodded in agreement.
Lin Yun continued, “Ke Xin is now one year and one month old. You can start preparing to teach her cultivation. Early childhood is the best time to build a foundation, and a strong foundation now will greatly benefit her future cultivation path.”
Children in the cultivation continent generally begin cultivating at three years old. Though Ke Xin was just over a year old, her development surpassed that of most children over three.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already started teaching her recently. Leave it to me, but when you have time, you can guide her too,” Yu Ying replied.
Lin Yun nodded. Yu Ying had already reached the Ninth Transcending Tribulation realm, so she was more than capable of teaching Ke Xin.
Since stepping into the Transcending Tribulation realm, the Tianqiong Clan had provided Yu Ying with abundant resources, allowing her to progress smoothly.
“By the way, Yu Ying, how’s your own cultivation going? You need to start preparing for your future tribulation,” Lin Yun said, looking at her seriously.
“Don’t worry, I’ve never slacked off in my cultivation,” Yu Ying said with a bright smile.
Deep down, Yu Ying was quite driven. She knew how fast Lin Yun was progressing and worked hard to keep up, determined to fight alongside him in the future rather than be a mere ornamental figure.
“By the way, Brother Yun, Senior Du Yuanzi is almost done setting up the permanent formation. Your family from the small world will soon be able to reunite with you,” Yu Ying said with a smile.
“Really? That’s great!” Lin Yun’s eyes lit up.
He had long been looking forward to this, but building a permanent teleportation array took time, from gathering rare materials to construction.
For Lin Yun, his life on the cultivation continent was now stable. He had his own territory, a group of followers, a family, and a child. Bringing his loved ones and friends from Earth was the next step.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
“Daddy, you haven’t been back in so long. Can you take Ke Xin out to play today?” Lin Ke Xin nestled in Lin Yun’s arms, acting coy.
“Alright, the weather’s nice today. I’ll take you outside the city for a little trip,” Lin Yun said, a smile spreading across his face.
He felt an urge to fulfill any request his daughter made.
East Yuan Prefecture was safe, and with Lin Yun by her side, it would be good for her to see the world outside the city.
…
Three days later, Lin Yun prepared to leave for Beimen Prefecture.
Yu Ying and Ke Xin saw him off at the door.
“Daddy, be careful out there. Ke Xin will wait for you to come back,” Ke Xin said, her dark eyes brimming with reluctant tears.
“Don’t worry, Daddy’s very strong,” Lin Yun said with a smile, kissing her cheek.
Seeing his daughter’s teary eyes tugged at his heart.
Then, Lin Yun looked at Yu Ying. “Yu Ying, take care of the kids. Remember to teach her cultivation.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Yun. You be careful out there too,” Yu Ying said, also showing reluctance.
“I’ll be careful. I’m off now.”
With that, Lin Yun turned and soared into the sky.
…
Beimen Prefecture.
In total, Lin Yun had three targets in Beimen Prefecture.
His first target was the villain He Buwei.
At this moment, Lin Yun had arrived outside Beimen Prefecture’s city.
“According to intelligence, the villain He Buwei often appears in Lingbo County. I’ll head there first,” Lin Yun said, reviewing the intelligence.
Then, he took out his flying vessel and headed straight for Lingbo County.
…
Upon arriving in Lingbo County, Lin Yun entered the county city to inquire about He Buwei’s whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, the inquiries went smoothly. According to the information, He Buwei had recently been spotted at Nanyang Temple.
“I didn’t expect to find his whereabouts so quickly,” Lin Yun grinned.
After confirming the location of Nanyang Temple, he quickly left the city and headed straight for it.
Since taking on assassination missions, finding some targets could take Lin Yun up to three months, but others, like this, were located almost immediately.
…
After half a day’s high-speed travel, Lin Yun arrived above Nanyang Temple.
The temple was situated behind a hill, a secluded place with no human presence for miles around.
Lin Yun looked down at Nanyang Temple and quickly released his divine sense to probe the area.
Boom!
As soon as he extended his divine sense, a figure shot out from the temple.
“He noticed?” Lin Yun’s brow furrowed slightly.
“No matter, the sooner I deal with him, the sooner I can move on to the next target,” Lin Yun said, a slight smirk on his lips.
The figure instantly reached the sky, hovering about a hundred meters in front of Lin Yun.
It was a middle-aged man with black-and-white hair and a face full of menace.
His appearance and the overwhelming murderous aura emanating from him confirmed he was Lin Yun’s target—the villain He Buwei!
“You’re Lin Yun, aren’t you?” He Buwei stared at Lin Yun with a smile.
Lin Yun was startled. How did he know his name right away? They had never met, and He Buwei shouldn’t have known Lin Yun was coming to kill him.
“How do you know my identity?” Lin Yun asked, maintaining a calm exterior despite his surprise.
Since the other party could directly state his name, they were certain of his identity, so there was no point in hiding it.
“Want to know why? Haha, because your time to die has come!”
A piercing laugh echoed from Nanyang Temple below.
