Chapter 666: You Complete It for Me

“What?”

Lin Nuo heard Su Lingjiang mention his daughter—does that have anything to do with your secluded cultivation?

You old man really expect your daughter to save the world from the get-go? Do you know she has explosive capabilities? Or are you just blindly confident?

It should be the latter. If you really knew Su Kexin had explosive abilities, wouldn’t you have started training her with daily death drills since she was a toddler?

If that were the case, by the time she was six, she’d be ruling the world while you’re still loafing around the Lin family, with no plot to follow—just an NPC living a mundane life.

Lin Nuo asked:

“Does this have anything to do with your daughter? You don’t have to conquer the demonic path; there are countless righteous souls in the world. Why put your daughter at risk? She just needs to know how to protect herself safely.”

“No, she’s a unique child with a legendary story. She escaped home on her own when she was young and accidentally fell into a deep valley filled with fierce beasts. I thought she was as good as dead. When I found her, she was unconscious, surrounded by numerous dead beasts.”

“Maybe she encountered a master helping her?”

“Possibly. But she’s also had other strange experiences. Clearly a super heavy sword, one that a regular cultivator couldn’t lift, and yet she can pick it up effortlessly. Her comprehension is peculiar; she grasps ordinary techniques at a normal person’s level, yet when it comes to profound skills, she understands them effortlessly. Sometimes even I struggle with certain texts, but she can pinpoint the key points.”

“Maybe it’s just luck?”

“Not luck; it’s talent. I had her fortune read by an authority, and after explaining her situation, they said she would encounter major events in the future and achieve great things. I consulted several other authorities, and they all had the same response, some even tying it to the fate of all living beings.”

“…”

Wow, these people are all peeking at the script, getting the results before you did.

In this spirit cultivation world, there’s a bunch of fortune-tellers who can predict things quite well.

But when the Lin family took him for divination, after several queries, the result was: destined for greatness.

Let’s hope that “destined” isn’t a verb.

But privately, his own readings revealed: nothing special.

So most of these fortune-tellers are just smooth talkers; if it weren’t for the Lin family’s reputation, they’d call him ordinary too.

Overall, no one even hinted that he might turn evil in the future and be a menace to society. Otherwise, when he was young, they would’ve captured him and avoided any future troubles.

As for fortune-telling, it’s just a way to please people.

“So you believe it?”

“Yes, I believe. I absolutely believe my daughter is extraordinary, and in the future, she may shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving all living beings. However, I hope that day never comes. Walking this path will lead to great suffering, with much danger; all I wish is for her to live safely, even if it means being an ordinary person.”

Su Lingjiang sighed, speaking in a tone befitting a doting father.

Lin Nuo countered:

“In that case, why let her cultivate? Just teach her sewing, music, chess, literature, and arts—let her marry someone!”

“With the chaos in the world and dangers everywhere, who knows when disaster will strike? I can’t protect her at every moment; she needs martial training to protect herself and her mother, and that’s enough.”

“Then just tell her to stay safe and not go around seeking justice.”

“I’ve told her. But she has a fiery heart, full of ideals and ambitions. I respect her wishes; otherwise, she would resent me.”

Lin Nuo: “…”

Wow, you’re saying you respect her wishes, but you don’t expect her to be safe? Su Kexin often wants to uphold justice and ends up reckless; without a protagonist’s halo, she might’ve been dead hundreds of times by now.

“So, you wish to save the world without her lifting a finger, right?”

“Exactly.”

“Hope you can make it happen, but honestly, it’s going to be tough. If you can’t defeat the demon spirits, how do you plan to start?”

Lin Nuo scoffed, questioning. If you can’t even defeat me now, how do you expect to handle me in the future? To save the world, you’ll need to take me down.

“True. Maybe I’m just blindly confident and still far from my ideals.”

Su Lingjiang sighed again, feeling contemplative but not hopeless.

“I may not be able to do it. But I believe, young man, you can.”

“What?”

Lin Nuo chuckled. Seriously? You want the main boss to save the world? Isn’t that asking for me to end it all?

“On what basis do you believe I can do it and even would?” Lin Nuo questioned.

“You can do it. I sense your extraordinary talents and power. Just a moment ago, with that demon spirit, when I was at a loss, you annihilated it. That’s enough for me to believe. You will act, and I’m sure your current thoughts align with mine—you don’t want her to venture into danger.”

“…”

It’s true that I don’t want her to take risks, but the reasoning’s off; you’re spoiling your daughter, while I’m worried about her explosiveness—two different matters.

Of course, in a way, they both wish for Su Kexin to be a laid-back character.

“In the beginning, my attack on you was just to test your skills. Although I haven’t been the best father, I’m still her father, and I need to understand her husband. I recognize you; you are the son-in-law of our Su family.”

“…”

Wow, you really think I’ve become your Su family’s son-in-law? You blind man, do you think a villain can be your son-in-law?

Do you know I’m the greatest calamity derived from that so-called demon star? Wouldn’t that make you so mad you’d drop dead right there?

But Su Kexin’s family makes him envious; at least she has a father who dotes on her, while his own father is pure workhorse.

“Are you planning to meet them?” Lin Nuo asked.

“I have no face left to see them.”

“You really don’t have any face, but at least they are your family. Let’s put it this way, even if you become a powerful cultivator, if you’re alone with no family around, then you’re a pitiful person. You want Su Kexin to live well, and she wishes to know you’re safe too.”

Lin Nuo said seriously, turning to Su Lingjiang,

“I don’t know if you’ll achieve your ideals in the future, but I believe you can accomplish the task at hand. Of course, you can continue to evade; even if you die, it won’t matter to me.”

Listening to Lin Nuo’s words, Su Lingjiang felt this youth had a story. Despite his young age, he seemed to have experienced more than himself.

Thinking it over, he sighed again:

“Ah, you’re right. I really miss them because I couldn’t reunite with them while the demon spirit is around. Ideals are for the future; the reunion I can grasp today.”

With Lin Nuo’s encouragement, Su Lingjiang felt a bit better; it’s been two years, and it was time to embrace his wife and daughter.

Lin Nuo glanced at Su Lingjiang and shook his head.

Truly father and daughter; both strong yet not the shrewdest.

But he still envied this family.
