NOVPUBChapter 750: Chapter 407: Qin Xi’s Request_1 Chapter 750: Chapter 407: Qin Xi’s Request_1 Just as Lin Shihua was speaking, Qin Xi seemed to recall something and quickly changed the subject.
“Grandpa, I heard you just mentioning something about selecting candidates. Has something big happened in the Cultivation World?”
“This? This?”
Lin Shigong looked helpless, his speech breaking off repeatedly as if he was hesitating.
Seeing this, Lin Shihua also spoke up, “Xi’er, it’s just some arrangements within the family, nothing significant has happened. You and Tian Ming are the future of the Lin Family, and all you need to do is stay on the family grounds and cultivate in peace!”
“As for matters of the outside world, let us old folks handle them!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Shigong also chimed in with agreement.
...
“Indeed, Shihua’s right. You youngsters just focus on your cultivation and strive for breakthroughs. We old folks are aging, and our potential is almost exhausted. We can only do our best to support you for a hundred some years.”
Before the words were finished, Qin Xi’s expression grew solemn, and then she spoke, “Both grandpas, I’ve heard the matter you were discussing just now!”
Hearing this, Lin Shigong and Lin Shihua both felt a little embarrassed and somewhat apologetic.
In their eyes, it was better not to tell Qin Xi about the Recruitment Order, to prevent the younger generation from unnecessary worries.
But Qin Xi had by chance heard their conversation and even exposed their lies, which made them feel a bit embarrassed.
While the two men were smiling bitterly, Qin Xi continued to speak.
“The front lines are very dangerous, and clan members with too low cultivation might not come back alive!”
“Xi’er has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level and has successfully cultivated a Spirit Art. Even an average Foundation Establishment Seventh Level cultivator might not be a match for me.”
“Now that the family is in trouble, as a member of the Lin Family, let me go!”
As soon as she finished, Lin Shihua sternly refused Qin Xi’s request.
“How could you go? The battlefield is too dangerous, and besides, our relationship with Zhenyang Sect is very delicate. There’s no guarantee they won’t make things difficult for us!”
“I do not agree to you going!”
Seeing that Lin Shihua’s tone and attitude were resolute, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation.
Yet in Qin Xi’s view, Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong were simply concerned for her safety, which is why they were so stern.
Because of this, she felt the care of her elders and was reminded of her grandfather’s kind face, his strictness, and his tone, which were quite similar to these two men.
Such a scene reminded her of her grandfather, and she felt the warmth he had given her.
At this moment, Qin Xi was deeply moved and couldn’t help but feel a twinge in her nose.
Having calmed herself down, Qin Xi looked at the two serious elders and sincerely began to persuade them.
“Twelfth Grandpa, Xi’er and Ming have fought together on the Demon-Subduing City Battlefield and are familiar with the Inner Sect Disciples of Zhenyang Sect. We can surely handle them!”
“Besides, Ming knows well what my strength is. I may not win easily against those of a higher realm, but I have a great chance of winning against cultivators of the same level!”
“Ever since stepping onto the cultivation path, I’ve also encountered many life-and-death crises and have slain no small number of cultivators, which at least makes me someone with considerable combat experience.”
“Moreover, currently, the family doesn’t have too many suitable candidates.”
“And even if I were to stay within the family, it’s unlikely that I could break through in my cultivation in a year or two, so it would be better to go to the battlefield to gain experience.”
“Both grandpas, Xi’er is confident in dealing with it, so let me fulfill the duty of a clan member for the family!”
Qin Xi’s words did not convince Lin Shihua or Lin Shigong, but they did convince Lin Tianming.
In his heart, Qin Xi was truly outstanding, not at all inferior to himself.
Putting aside the issue of cultivation level, speaking purely of strength among cultivators of the same stage, she truly was among the very best.
She had achieved such strength and cultivation after enduring a lot over the years and had managed well in such a harsh environment, even turning her enemies around at her whim.
In dire situations, she became even stronger in battle, a feat not just anyone could achieve.
Knowing her past, he genuinely admired her.
Now on the matter of choosing a candidate, considering Qin Xi had stated her case so convincingly, she truly was one of the best choices for the battlefield.
Beyond this, he himself believed in a truth: that crisis and opportunity coexist, and only with sufficient effort can one reap greater rewards.
If they, as husband and wife, wished to stay together for the long-term and advance further on their cultivation journey, they must face challenges head-on.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming joined Qin Xi’s camp.
Under the relentless bombardment of their words, Qin Xi pulled out all the stops, using various sweet words to please the two, and even feigning anger to threaten the elders.
Sure enough, these tactics were quite overwhelming for Lin Shihua and the other.
“Grandpa… Twelfth Grandpa, please, let Xi’er go… Pretty please…”
“Just let me go… If it comes to that, I will follow Uncle Tongxing’s plan completely!”
“This… This…?”
Lin Shihua was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to rebut, nothing like his sharp-tongued self when facing others.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming chuckled, realizing that even the Clan Leader could have his awkward moments.
Then, under Qin Xi’s relentless persuasion, Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong had a private discussion.
It seemed they were no match for their persistent granddaughter-in-law, and at last, helplessly relented and agreed to Qin Xi’s request.
“Alright… Since Xi’er is so determined, we old folks will let you go.”
