I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds -
Chapter 202: Confused Wan Lin
Wan Lin initially didn't want to talk about her past, but under Chu Xinghe's persistent questioning, she finally opened up.
Wan Lin's background was quite extraordinary; she was born into the Wan family in Cloud City.
Although the Wan family wasn't one of the three great families in the world, it was still a significant and influential family.
The Wan family was renowned for its medical clinics, with branches in almost every major city.
However, from Wan Lin's words, Chu Xinghe learned that shortly after her birth, her father, the head of the Wan family at the time, passed away.
Such large families are never without issues. Because Wan Lin was the only daughter, her uncles fought fiercely for power, each wanting to become the new head of the Wan family.
Fortunately, Wan Lin's mother was truly formidable, standing firm against all pressures and becoming the leader of the Wan family as a woman.
Wan Lin was raised by her mother as if she were a boy, because in her mother's eyes, Wan Lin needed to be stronger than her, to shoulder the responsibilities of the Wan family, and not be like ordinary girls.
Hearing this, Chu Xinghe somewhat understood why Wan Lin had slightly peculiar interests.
From Wan Lin's words, Chu Xinghe could tell that she didn't genuinely enjoy those things; it was just her upbringing that shaped her that way.Later, Wan Lin displayed extraordinary talent and successfully entered the Grand Sky Sect.
On the day she left the Wan family, her mother held her hand and talked to her all night.
Her mother told her that upon entering the Grand Sky Sect, she was a new prodigy with an unlimited future. The Wan family was already a quagmire, and she shouldn't return. She should become a new Wan Lin in the Grand Sky Sect, which was her mother's greatest hope and all she could do for her daughter.
In the Grand Sky Sect, Wan Lin was well-loved by her senior sisters in the Hill Forest Palace and received various help from Senior Brother Xinghe. Today, Wan Lin truly lived up to the title of a prodigy.
With her talent, it wasn't entirely impossible for her to lead the Hill Forest Palace in the future.
Wan Lin was gradually adapting to this new self.
She no longer needed to wear a mask, scheme, or disguise.
In the sect, she could focus on her cultivation, with senior and junior sisters to help her with any problems, and Senior Brother Xinghe caring for her.
Wan Lin felt reborn.
She gradually understood why her mother had made her disguise herself for so many years. As a widow and orphan, if her mother hadn't been strong enough, and if she had been too weak, they would have been devoured long ago.
Wan Lin wanted to become stronger, to grow ever stronger, so that one day, when she had a voice in the Grand Sky Sect, she could return to Cloud City in the grandest way and tell her mother that from this moment on, she would help carry the burden on her shoulders.
From today onward, no one in this world would look down on them again, and her mother wouldn't have to work so hard.
But just a few days ago, Wan Lin suddenly received news from her family.
For some reason, the Wan family had offended the Zhou Medical Hall, a force far beyond the Wan family's reach. The Zhou Medical Hall launched a frenzied attack on the Wan family from all sides.
In a short time, the Wan family was besieged on all fronts, now riddled with holes and on the brink of collapse.
Wan Lin sent a letter to her mother to inquire, but her mother's reply was simple: stay in the Grand Sky Sect, and don't worry about the family's affairs.
Yet, between the lines, Wan Lin could still see her mother's despair.
For the first time, Wan Lin realized that despite her efforts, she couldn't help her mother.
She could only watch helplessly as the Wan family was devoured step by step by the Zhou family, and her mother's years of hard work were destroyed.
Wan Lin didn't care for the Wan family, but she cared about her mother. To her, her father was just a name, but to her mother, he was everything. Her mother's years of effort were all to preserve what her father had left behind.
But in the end...
Wan Lin had thought about leveraging the Grand Sky Sect's power, but... why would they help the Wan family? Just because she was a disciple?
The sect might stand up for her, but for her family? No sect would ever do that.
After all, there were too many disciples in the sect. If they intervened for one today, they'd have to intervene for another tomorrow. How could the sect function like that?
So Wan Lin realized she truly couldn't do anything. Even though her senior sisters showed concern, she didn't tell them. But in front of her was Senior Brother Xinghe, the person she respected the most. Confiding in him gave her some relief.
"Bang!"
Before Wan Lin could thank Senior Brother Xinghe for listening, Chu Xinghe slammed the stone table, breaking it!
Damn it, is the Zhou Medical Hall tired of living? How dare they mess with my Junior Sister Wan Lin's family?
Junior Sister Wan Lin, don't worry, your Senior Brother will handle this!
The sect can't intervene for a disciple's family, but I, your Senior Brother Xinghe, can!
The little Zhou Medical Hall, daring to attack my Junior Sister Wan Lin's family, your Senior Brother will take you to victory!
You want a business war with me? Your Senior Brother Xinghe may not understand business warfare, but your Senior Brother has money!
With the entire Grand Sky Sect behind me, crushing a Zhou Medical Hall is child's play.
Dare to bully my junior sister's mother? You're tired of living!
Junior Sister Wan Lin, hold on. Your Senior Brother will show you that he can teach you Staff Intent and crush others even better.
"Senior Brother Xinghe, you mustn't... The Zhou Medical Hall isn't insignificant; they have many forces behind them. If our sect intervenes, even if we win, the sect will suffer losses."
Wan Lin was moved, but she knew that if Senior Brother Xinghe intervened because of her family's affairs, and the sect suffered losses, how could she face anyone?
But saying this only made Chu Xinghe more determined.
What is this? An unexpected bonus?
I can swear on my ID that I never considered the sect's losses; I just wanted to help you, Junior Sister.
But Junior Sister, you have a surprise for me?
Junior Sister, you're not wrong. This is a business war. The Grand Sky Sect can't just send a bunch of big shots to wipe out the Zhou Medical Hall; that's not the righteous path...
Even if we did, we'd have to lose the business war first and then come up with a plausible reason to take them down...
But what's the Grand Sky Sect's weight? Can we lose a business war? Are you kidding me?
The Zhou Medical Hall wants to destroy the Wan family?
Then the Grand Sky Sect will crazily support the Wan family, pouring resources into them. In this fierce battle, won't the sect's resources suffer losses?
Even if we win, it would be a pyrrhic victory, but rest assured, Junior Sister, the Grand Sky Sect isn't short of resources. Your Senior Brother said he'd take you to victory, and he will!
And with your help, Junior Sister, how can we lose?
Chu Xinghe didn't waste any more words. He was about to pull out the Grand Sky Token and slap it on Wan Lin's face.
But then he thought, why use a nuke to swat a mosquito?
So he took out his disciple token, with the name Chu Xinghe shining brightly on it.
"Junior Sister, take your Senior Brother's disciple token. Cloud City is in the north, where we have the northern branch of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce. Although I have no idea who's in charge, go home now and have the northern branch of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce support you at all costs."
"I'll stay in the sect to oversee things, and resources will follow. We won't stop until we crush the Zhou Medical Hall!"
"Senior Brother Xinghe... such a big matter, shouldn't we report it to the Sect Master? At least let the Great Elder know, right?" Wan Lin was in tears.
With Senior Brother Xinghe's words, the Wan family was set to soar.
Chu Xinghe didn't hesitate and took Wan Lin to the Medicine King Palace, where they found the Great Elder in the middle of alchemy.
Wan Lin, seeing the Great Elder focused on alchemy, was terrified and suggested they wait.
After all, in the Hill Forest Palace, disciples didn't dare disturb the head during practice.
But Senior Brother Xinghe said, "Wait for what... let's go!"
Wan Lin then watched as Chu Xinghe approached the Great Elder, disregarding what the Great Elder was refining, and briefly explained Wan Lin's situation, clearly stating his intention to help Junior Sister Wan Lin.
After hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Wan Lin saw the Great Elder's face change dramatically!
Seeing the Great Elder's angry expression, Wan Lin was so scared she almost knelt before him.
After all, this was her family's private matter, and her Senior Brother was using the sect's power to help her. Moreover, he interrupted the Great Elder's pill refining; wouldn't the Great Elder be furious and send her back to the Hill Forest Palace to reflect?
But just when Wan Lin thought she might have implicated Senior Brother Xinghe, the Great Elder spoke.
"Get out!"
As expected... Wan Lin trembled.
Chu Xinghe remained unfazed!
"I've told you countless times! From now on, make your own decisions on such trivial matters. You're already a mature child. If you report everything to me, how will you shoulder the sect's responsibilities in the future? Get out!"
"Got it!" Chu Xinghe obediently took Wan Lin and left.
Until they exited the Medicine King Palace, Wan Lin's mind was buzzing.
What just happened?
Senior Brother Xinghe interrupted the Great Elder's alchemy and wanted to use his power to help her?
The Great Elder was angry, but wasn't his anger a bit misplaced?
Shouldn't the Great Elder have told Senior Brother Xinghe that the sect shouldn't get involved in such matters?
Shouldn't he have sent her back to the Hill Forest Palace for punishment?
But the Great Elder's attitude, though angry, seemed a bit off in his words.
What did he mean by making decisions on such trivial matters?
Was this a trivial matter?
Did the Great Elder misunderstand?
But she was there, and Senior Brother Xinghe's report was accurate, without any rhetoric. He simply emphasized wanting to help Junior Sister Wan Lin and crush the Zhou Medical Hall!
Yet the Great Elder's reaction was so unexpected.
Wan Lin was dumbfounded, and just as she was in a daze, something even more bewildering happened...
