I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds -
Chapter 204: Damn! A fortune beyond imagination!
Cloud City, Wan family mansion.
The Wan family was steadily losing ground in their confrontation with the Zhou family. Not only were Wan family medical halls closing down across various regions, but their staff were also defecting to the Zhou Medical Hall.
Even within the mansion, other members of the Wan family were considering their next steps.
The once bustling Wan family mansion, which used to be filled with guests, was now eerily quiet.
Forget about guests, even the five doormen had dwindled down to just the oldest, most senior one, who was now dozing off in the gatehouse.
A large portion of the other servants had also been dismissed, leaving the Wan family mansion with a sense of desolation.
The remaining servants no longer felt the pride of being part of the top family in Cloud City and were gathered together, discussing whether they should look for new employment.
"I heard the Zhou family has cut off all of the Wan family's supply channels... Many of the remaining medical halls don't even have any medicine left."
"It's not just the medicine; more people are leaving..."
"The Zhou Medical Hall is the strongest medical hall. How can our Wan family medical halls compete with them?""If you ask me, at this rate, we'll probably need to find new jobs by next month..."
As the servants lamented, a figure strode into the Wan family mansion.
A newly hired servant quickly approached the newcomer and said, "Miss, our Wan family is not receiving guests at the moment, so please..."
Before the servant could finish, the old doorman exclaimed in surprise.
"Young... Young Miss!"
With that shout, all the servants turned to look, and when they saw Wan Lin dressed in black, those familiar with her quickly gathered around.
"Young Miss is back!"
"Young Miss... I've missed you so much..."
"Isn't that the Grand Sky Sect disciple uniform on Young Miss? My goodness, it looks amazing..."
"Young Miss is back... Quickly, inform the madam, Young Miss has returned..."
The stagnant atmosphere of the Wan family was stirred back to life with Wan Lin's return.
In no time, everyone in the Wan family knew that the Young Miss had returned.
Upon hearing of Wan Lin's return, Li Yunxian showed a hint of surprise, followed by a helpless smile.
She had already told Wan Lin that she didn't need to get involved in the Wan family's affairs and that she should focus on her own path in the Grand Sky Sect.
Wan Lin, oh Wan Lin, why did you have to come back and get involved in this mess?
In the Wan family hall, Li Yunxian looked at Wan Lin in her black core disciple uniform, a tear glistening in her eye, but she quickly wiped it away, not wanting her daughter to see.
"Linlin is back, and it's incredible. Linlin is now a core disciple of the Grand Sky Sect." Wan Xianglun circled around Wan Lin, looking her up and down, then said expectantly, "Linlin, your brother wants to join the Grand Sky Sect next year. Now that you're a core disciple, can you pull some strings?"
Wan Lin chose to ignore her second uncle's words.
She knew exactly what kind of person her brother was.
Join the Grand Sky Sect? Besides indulging in vices, he couldn't even manage to climb into bed.
What kind of place is the Grand Sky Sect? Pull some strings? Even at the peak of the Wan family, there was no way to influence the Grand Sky Sect.
Do you think I'm Senior Brother Xinghe, who can let anyone join as they please?
And even if we talk about Senior Brother Xinghe, he only recruited Feng Yuzheng, but is Junior Brother Yuzheng just anyone? Junior Brother Yuzheng has been on a rampage!
"Second Uncle, Linlin just got back. You're being too hasty." Li Yunxian intervened to help Wan Lin.
However, Wan Xianglun snorted and continued, "Yes, yes, I'm too hasty, unlike you, Sister-in-law, who has such a good daughter. But coming back now, are you planning to take Sister-in-law and flee early?"
Wan Xianglun's words were harsh, but the surrounding Wan family members nodded helplessly.
Because Wan Xianglun wasn't wrong. At this point, the Wan family was on the brink of collapse. Even as a core disciple of the Grand Sky Sect, what could Wan Lin do?
Aside from taking Li Yunxian away, there didn't seem to be anything else to do.
Li Yunxian's eyes flashed with anger, but she didn't lash out. She was too tired of arguing, having done so too many times over the past month.
Now, Li Yunxian didn't want her daughter to see her in a state of desperation.
"Linlin, now that you're back, take a couple of days to rest. Whatever you want to eat, have the family chef make it for you. Whatever you want to buy, tell me, and I'll get it for you. Don't let your sect training fall behind. Rest for a few days, then hurry back to the sect. You don't need to worry about the family's affairs."
Li Yunxian spoke casually, even though the family was on the verge of collapse. She didn't want Wan Lin to get involved or see the family's downfall.
The other Wan family members sighed upon hearing this.
But just as Li Yunxian was about to end the meeting and take Wan Lin away, Wan Lin spoke up, "Mother, I'm aware of the family's situation. I came back this time to resolve the family's problems."
As soon as Wan Lin said this, not only Li Yunxian but everyone in the Wan family was stunned.
What?
You're here to solve the family's problems?
Wan Lin... It's not that your uncles and aunts look down on you, but even as a core disciple of the Grand Sky Sect, isn't that a bit too ambitious?
You're a disciple of the Grand Sky Sect, but the Wan family isn't. It's unheard of for a super sect to intervene in a disciple's family matters. Sects are supposed to be above worldly affairs and wouldn't get involved in these things.
"Linlin, your intentions are good, but with your current abilities, it might not be feasible..."
Wan Xianglun didn't spare Wan Lin's feelings. You're just one of many core disciples in the Grand Sky Sect.
You can't just say you'll solve the family's problems. What do you think you are, an Elder of the Grand Sky Sect?
Li Yunxian also shook her head helplessly, as she thought her daughter's words were indeed a bit far-fetched.
But as everyone shook their heads, Wan Lin smiled, her gaze sweeping across the room as she spoke calmly, "I will take action to resolve this family crisis! Look at this!"
With a flash of light in her hand, a disciple token with the name Chu Xinghe appeared in Wan Lin's hand.
The sudden appearance of the token caught everyone's attention, but soon, the Wan family members were bewildered.
What is this? When Wan Lin took out the token, everyone's first thought was, did Wan Lin bring an Elder's Order from the Grand Sky Sect?
If it were truly an Elder's Order, then it might indeed help the Wan family overcome the crisis.
But upon closer inspection, it wasn't the purple Elder's Order from the Grand Sky Sect; it was a black disciple token!
What use is a disciple token from the Grand Sky Sect?
An Elder's Order can command various factions within the Grand Sky Sect, but a disciple token is just proof of identity and serves no other purpose.
However, someone soon noticed something unusual.
"Chu... Chu Xinghe?"
With that question, the faces of countless Wan family members changed. There was nothing wrong with the disciple token, but the name on it was different.
Is this Chu Xinghe's disciple token?
Who is Chu Xinghe? There's probably no one in the world today who doesn't know... the number one of the younger generation.
In less than two years since joining the Grand Sky Sect, he has propelled the top sect to new heights, and his actions have repeatedly shocked the world. Today, if someone doesn't know Chu Xinghe, they must be living in a village without internet!
So the weight of Chu Xinghe's disciple token is far from being just a simple Grand Sky Sect disciple token.
But soon, Wan Xianglun spoke up, "Linlin, Chu Xinghe is indeed extraordinary, but the Grand Sky Sect has its rules. To mobilize the sect's resources to help the family, Chu Xinghe's disciple token might not be enough, right?"
With these words, many Wan family members nodded in agreement.
Even her mother showed a hint of doubt.
But Wan Lin wanted to say, you have no idea what Senior Brother Xinghe represents in the Grand Sky Sect!
If the sect had given me an Elder's Order to help the family fight against the Zhou Medical Hall, I wouldn't be confident. After all, Elder's Orders have different ranks, and only the Great Elder's purple-gold Elder's Order could mobilize resources without limitations.
But Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token is completely different!
Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token is second only to the Grand Sky Token. Within our Grand Sky Sect, holding Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token is like holding the Grand Sky Token.
Even in the sect's treasury, when Feng Yuzheng enters with Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token, the deacon in charge merely glances and doesn't ask a single question.
Every time Feng Yuzheng takes things from the treasury, the guards don't even bother to check!
What? Don't trust Feng Yuzheng but trust Xinghe...
Wan Lin didn't bother to explain further. She simply tossed Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token to her second uncle, Wan Xianglun, and said, "Second Uncle, whether Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token is useful or not, you'll know once you visit the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce. I boldly ask Second Uncle to take it to the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce and tell them that from now on, the entire Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce will spare no effort to support the Wan family!"
With that, the disciple token was in Wan Xianglun's hands.
Wan Xianglun looked bewildered, but seeing the equally puzzled expressions of others, he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and headed out.
Wan Lin, oh Wan Lin... You've clearly spent too much time in the Grand Sky Sect and don't understand the ways of the world outside!
While Chu Xinghe may be famous, the Grand Sky Sect has its rules. Do you think a mere disciple token from Chu Xinghe can mobilize the entire Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce?
You must be crazy!
If you want to embarrass yourself, I'll let you!
Wan Xianglun went straight to the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce, holding Chu Xinghe's disciple token. He walked in and threw the token at a steward-like figure of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce.
The steward, suddenly receiving a disciple token from the Grand Sky Sect, was also confused. Isn't this the second master of the Wan family? What are you doing with a disciple token from our Grand Sky Sect?
But when the steward saw the name Chu Xinghe on the token, his eyes nearly popped out.
Damn! A fortune beyond imagination!
