Lin Yi naturally understood Xu Zhi Wu’s thoughts. Upon entering the room, he noticed the presence of spiritual energy on the girl. Through his Spirit Wood Technique, he ascertained that her Cultivation level had reached the Qi Refining first level.
However, it was impossible to discern the grade of her Spiritual Root solely through the Spirit Wood Technique. Only by channeling spiritual power into the body with a special spell can one perceive the grade of the Spiritual Root.
However, based on the current situation, the probability was that she had lower-grade spiritual roots. As those with medium or higher-grade spiritual roots are usually taken in by the various sects.
Take Liu Yun Sect’s Inner Sect, for instance, they had over twenty-thousand Qi Refining Disciples, most of them possessed Medium Grade Spirit Roots, very few had top-grade Spiritual Roots, not to mention, supreme-grade ones.
Pointing at the girl beside him, he smiled and said, “Brother Xu, you haven’t introduced me to your daughter yet. You got married, had a child, and didn’t even notify me. You really don’t consider me as a friend.”
The girl seemed to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. He had been too preoccupied with his cultivation, and had not seen Xu Zhi Wu for over twenty years. The girl probably must’ve been born during this time.
Xu Zhi Wu coughed, glanced at Lin Yi with gratitude, and then weakly spoke, “Master Lin, after you went into seclusion, I met a woman, a fellow martial artist, who became my wife. A few years later, my daughter was born. I named her Xu Yu Rou. Afraid to disturb your cultivation at the time, I took the liberty to refrain from informing you.”
“When Xiao Rou was four, her mother died of illness. She’s very sensible, helping me out from such a young age.”
“Later, an Immortal Master tested her and found that she had lower-grade spiritual roots. Then, under the guidance of Master Zhang Fu Guang and with the Spirit Stone you gave, she successfully embarked on the path of Cultivation. She is now in the first level of Qi refinement…”
While speaking, he took several deep breaths, like a bellows, and then coughed up blood, fainting immediately.
“Dad.” The girl beside them was shocked and rushed to the bedside, calling out anxiously.
Lin Yi sighed softly. Years of martial arts training, combined with intense combat, had left Xu Zhi Wu’s body riddled with holes like a sieve. His arrival had caused Xu Zhi Wu’s continuously suspended breath to slacken, to a certain extent, accelerating the process of his death.
Looking at the crying girl, he spoke, “Your name is Xiao Rou, right? I can still make your father wake up for a while, but afterwards, he will die. Are you willing to let me do it?”
“Xiao Rou, quickly agree with Uncle Lin. If your father faints for another day or two, he will die anyway.” At this point, Zhang Fu Guang hurriedly interjected.
The girl lifted her tear-streaked face and nodded heavily, kneeling down in front of Lin Yi, “Elder Lin, please wake my father up.”
Lin Yi raised his palm slightly and a surge of spiritual power lifted the girl, “I am your father’s friend, there’s no need for such formalities.”
Then, he held Xu Zhi Wu’s palm and transferred some spiritual power into his body, stimulating all his life-force to give him one last chance to regain consciousness.
Before long, Xu Zhi Wu woke up. His previously deathly pale face became somewhat ruddy, “Dad, you woke up.” Seeing this, the girl immediately threw herself onto Xu Zhi Wu.
Looking down at his daughter hugging him tightly, he showed a puzzled look, “I feel as if I died and came back to life.”
“Brother Xu, Master Lin used a secret technique to wake you up. You don’t have much time. If you have any last words, say them quickly,” Zhang Fu Guang reminded him.
Understanding quickly dawned on Xu Zhi Wu. He sat up on the bed, raised his fists to Lin Yi in a traditional gesture of respect, and said, “Master Lin, thank you… ah… after I pass away, Xiao Rou, go to the Liu Yun Sect with Master Zhang and work in the fields. At least you’ll have a place to go.”
He hesitated, but in the end, he was still too embarrassed to ask Lin Yi for help.
Looking at the nearly-dead Xu Zhi Wu from the side, Zhang Fu Guang became anxious. A dying man was still saving face. Xiao Rou could have had a better arrangement elsewhere, instead of working in the fields with him. “Brother Xu, you must personally express some things, rather than have Master Lin take the initiative.”
Lin Yi chuckled, “Brother Xu, if you have something to say, then say it. Between us, is there any need for such formality? It’s about Xiao Rou, right?”
“Well, forget it, I’ll just let it go. After I leave, I ask Master Lin to take care of Rou’er for a while and let her have a place to stay. I would be satisfied with that.” Xu Zhi Wu sighed, gritted his teeth and said.
If Xiao Rou could have had better arrangements, he wouldn’t have bothered Lin Yi because it was Lin Yi who saved his life.
“Good, I will take care of it. However, I am accustomed to being alone and I will need to go into seclusion for cultivation later. Xiao Rou will be under the care of one of my senior sisters,” Lin Yi nodded and spoke. In fact, he had already planned for Xiao Rou’s future.
Zhang Fu Guang’s face promptly showed envy. He was merely an Outer Sect Disciple after all, for Xiao Rou to follow Master Lin’s Senior Sister, she would directly become an Inner Sect Disciple.
After hearing Lin Yi’s words, Xu Zhi Wu sighed in relief. Struggling to sit up on the bed, he tried to kneel towards Lin Yi, “Master Lin, thank you for your kindness. If there is a next life, I, Xu Zhi Wu, will become a beast of burden and repay your kindness.”
Lin Yi immediately prevented him from kneeling, “Your gratitude has been acknowledged, let’s dispense with such formalities. You don’t have much time left, talk to Xiao Rou. We’ll step out.” With that, he and Zhang Fu Guang walked out of the room.
