After two months of cultivation and breaking through to Three-Star Dou Zong, Xiao Lin naturally left the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. After all, while breaking through to Three-Star Dou Zong, his soul had once again become weary.
Regarding this negative side effect of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Lin didn't have any good solutions. Therefore, he could only choose to cultivate inside for a period of time and then come out to catch some fresh air, allowing his mental state to recover.
"Sigh, I have to rest for another day. How troublesome!"
Returning to his residence, Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain.
But there was no other way; compared to the benefits gained, Xiao Lin could still endure this small negative effect. Fortunately, Xiao Lin himself was a cultivation fanatic who could withstand this kind of mental torment.
If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have truly gone mad long ago!
Even for the two elders, Elder Qian and Elder Bai, although they also very much wanted to increase their strength, every time their spirits grew weary, they would leave the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to rest for a period of time before going back in to cultivate.
They were completely unlike Xiao Lin, who, every time he came out, would rest for a single day and immediately enter to cultivate again once his mental state recovered. Suffice it to say, the title of cultivation fanatic was indeed very suitable for Xiao Lin.
One must know that back when he was still in the Xiao Clan, Xiao Lin would cultivate when nothing was happening, and still cultivate when things were happening. To Xiao Lin now, he had merely changed his cultivation environment; in reality, the difference wasn't that great.
Soon, a day passed.
Just as Xiao Lin had restored his state and was preparing to enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate again, he hadn't even stepped out of his pavilion when he was unexpectedly blocked.
The one who blocked Xiao Lin was none other than Grand Elder Su Qian!
"Grand Elder, is there something you need from me so early in the morning?"
Seeing Grand Elder Su Qian outside the door, a look of surprise appeared on Xiao Lin's face. After all, although he had become an Elder of Jia Nan Academy, because of his uniqueness, Grand Elder Su Qian had not actually assigned him any tasks.
In fact, although Xiao Lin didn't have specific affairs to be responsible for, his salary—namely, Fire Energy—was among the highest group of all the Elders!
In modern terms, he had money to take without having to work.
This would truly make the people of the modern 996 work schedule die of envy!
There was no helping it; Xiao Lin was just that overbearing, and he had the confidence to be so. However, one couldn't help but wonder if Grand Elder Su Qian felt that Xiao Lin's life at Jia Nan Academy was too comfortable, so he specifically found something for him to do.
Thus, after hearing that Xiao Lin had come out of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower yesterday, he came early this morning to block the door.
Through their contact during this period, Grand Elder Su Qian also knew that Xiao Lin was a cultivation fanatic. If he didn't come to block him early in the morning, he probably wouldn't see a trace of him by noon!
Once Xiao Lin entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate, he couldn't forcibly pull the man out. So, this scene of Su Qian blocking the door early in the morning that Xiao Lin saw came to be.
"Ahem, Elder Lin, I wonder if you have anything you're busy with lately?"
Thinking of the matter he wanted to entrust to Xiao Lin, Grand Elder Su Qian spoke somewhat awkwardly. Moreover, as his voice fell, he also uncomfortably turned his head away, not looking into Xiao Lin's eyes.
Looking at the somewhat strange Grand Elder Su Qian today, Xiao Lin was also a bit confused.
However, considering that after he entered Jia Nan Academy, all his benefits were obtained for him by the old man in front of him, Xiao Lin still had quite a bit of goodwill toward him, so he didn't suspect anything.
"If we're talking about matters, there really isn't anything to be busy with. I have to thank the Grand Elder for the arrangements."
These were Xiao Lin's sincere words.
However, he might immediately feel regret for these words...
"That's wonderful, Elder Lin! I just happen to have some matters on hand that I'm busy with and can't pull myself away, so could I trouble you to help me with a small favor?"
To show that this favor was truly "small," Grand Elder Su Qian even specifically gestured with his right thumb and index finger.
Looking at how he described it, it indeed should be very "small."
However, Xiao Lin, who had lived in the world of BTTH for too long, had already forgotten a classic quote and gesture from his previous life called "The Universe between the Fingers!"
Thus, because Xiao Lin not only had no guard against Grand Elder Su Qian but also had quite a bit of goodwill toward him, he was about to be pitted by this old rascal!
"It's easy to discuss. I am also an Elder of Jia Nan Academy after all. Since there is a matter that needs my help, I am naturally duty-bound! Grand Elder, you might as well just say it!"
Still unaware that he was about to fall into a pit, Xiao Lin made a vow-like guarantee at this moment.
Yes, the countdown to Xiao Lin being tricked!
"Good, good, good. Elder Lin is truly a model for all our Elders in Jia Nan Academy. Not only do you cultivate hard, but you are now also willing to spend time helping to babysit. I am truly grateful to you!"
As he spoke, Grand Elder Su Qian showed a look of tearful gratitude toward Xiao Lin.
However, as Grand Elder Su Qian's voice fell, Xiao Lin's originally smiling face instantly froze. Immediately afterward, Xiao Lin spoke somewhat stumblingly: "Wait, wait, Grand Elder, what did you say? Let me help, help babysit?"
At this moment, Xiao Lin was completely dumbfounded.
He had thought of ten thousand kinds of favors Grand Elder Su Qian might ask of him, but he had never considered babysitting!
One must know that the hardship of babysitting is something only people who have done it themselves truly understand!
Because his wife passed away early, Xiao Zhan was raised by Xiao Lin single-handedly from the time he was a baby. Even though Xiao Zhan had shown himself to be very sensible from a young age, Xiao Lin still spent countless energy on him before raising Xiao Zhan to the age of six.
Although Xiao Lin could have handed Xiao Zhan over to other clansmen at that time—for example, occasionally letting the Clan Leader Xiao Dongcheng help out.
Considering that Xiao Zhan had lost his mother at a young age, Xiao Lin naturally didn't feel at ease handing him over to others.
So, except for a small portion of the time when Xiao Lin was cultivating and Clan Leader Xiao Dongcheng helped for a while, the rest was done by Xiao Lin personally. Therefore, Xiao Lin naturally understood how troublesome of a thing babysitting was.
Of course, it was just that Xiao Zhan became sensible early; some children, at the age when they can cause a ruckus after six years old, are as mischievous as monkeys, and you simply can't control them!
Xiao Lin had seen many such naughty children in his previous life.
So, Xiao Lin understood all too well how painful of a thing babysitting was. In comparison, Xiao Lin would rather enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate for nine-nine-eighty-one days right now!
Or find a Dou Zun expert and let Xiao Lin have an all-out fight with them; that would be fine too!
Xiao Lin really wanted to ask Grand Elder Su Qian right now if it would be okay to take back those words he just said?
