Chapter 19 - Today You Take Pride in the Sect, In the Future, the Sect Will Take Pride in You
“This Embracing Moon Sect, could it be that it’s going to rise again, rising from the ashes?”
On the Peach Blossom Sect’s flying ship, Elder Zhou’s expression was unsightly.
Elder Wu pondered, “This Xiao Ling’er probably entered with pre-existing cultivation, but to possess such strength and temperament at such a young age is indeed the mark of a genius. But a genius before they have grown up is just a genius.”
“We can find opportunities…”
Elder Zhou nodded, “That’s true.”
“However, I’m probably worrying too much. Moreover, even if she grows up, so what? A sect has never relied on just one person. Who among the five elders of the Embracing Moon Sect is weak? But isn’t the Embracing Moon Sect still at the bottom of the third-rate sects?”
“The Embracing Moon Sect has few disciples, and they are of varying quality. This year, they only recruited Xiao Ling’er. Even if she grows up, she can only ensure the Embracing Moon Sect’s survival.”
“Perhaps, even survival is not guaranteed.”
“What does Elder Zhou mean?”
“Human nature.”
“We cultivators value strength above all else. With Xiao Ling’er’s talent, perhaps in a few years, the Moon Gazing Sect will not be able to provide her with any help.”
“By then, whether she will still care about the Embracing Moon Sect, who can say for sure?”
“That makes sense.” Elder Wu nodded in agreement.
However, both of them were very clear.
This statement was just self-comfort, in short, self-deception.
Everything was pinned on ‘possibility’, but who knew what the future held?
“If there is a chance, we still have to…”
Elder Wu raised his hand and gently wiped it across his neck.
“Absolutely!”
“…”
“Return to the mountain.”
Lin Fan waved his hand, and everyone returned to the mountain.
On the way, he said lightly, “You have all seen it.”
“In the Immortal Martial Continent, strength has always been paramount.”
“If you have strength, even if you slap their disciples in the face in front of their elders, they can only swallow their anger. But if your strength is insufficient, today’s events would have been reversed.”
The disciples deeply agreed and nodded deeply. At the same time, a sense of urgency to become stronger spread in their hearts.
At the same time, the seven mascots looked at Xiao Ling’er with extremely envious eyes…
But Lin Fan said again, “Now, when we encounter these third-rate sects, there are still five elders standing in front, sheltering us from the wind and rain.”
“But the elders are also human. They will grow old, get injured, and die. There are also many, many people stronger than them.”
“If one day, they grow old, they are gone, or even their lifespans are exhausted, what should we do?”
Everyone’s hearts sank, and they fell into deep thought.
Xiao Ling’er took a deep breath and said, “Today, the sect shelters us from the wind and rain. In the future, we will naturally shelter the sect from the wind and rain, and shelter those who come after us!”
“Good.”
Lin Fan smiled, “Sect inheritance, generational succession, that’s how it is.”
“Generation after generation, the previous generation selflessly dedicates themselves to the next generation, and the next generation also has its own mission.”
“Today, you take pride in the elders and the sect.”
“In the future, the sect will take pride in you!”
Boom, as soon as these words came out, the disciples’ minds buzzed, and goosebumps rose from head to toe.
“I hope that one day, you can also become elders, shelter the sect from the wind and rain, suppress injustice for future generations, and clear all obstacles.”
“I really look forward to that day.”
These words came from Lin Fan’s heart.
Since he had come and become the sect leader, he had to take responsibility!
And the healthy development of a sect could not be separated from everyone’s joint efforts.
Perhaps the seven mascots were originally destined to achieve nothing, but from now on, or rather, from the moment he became the sect leader, everything would be different.
Now, a disciple with a protagonist template had joined the Embracing Moon Sect.
As the saying goes, when one achieves the Dao, even their pets ascend to heaven. Even if they couldn’t ascend to heaven, even if they only received a trace of benefit, it would be enough for them to rise.
Becoming top experts might be difficult.
But becoming the backbone of a sect was not a big problem!
Moreover, if they were lucky, more protagonist templates would join in the future. With their leadership, what was there to worry about?
“We are also looking forward to it.”
Wu Xingyun spoke at this moment, full of melancholy, “In terms of combat power, I am currently the strongest in the Embracing Moon Sect, but I sincerely hope that you can grow up as soon as possible, and then surpass us, and go further and further on this path, leaving us far behind, until we old guys can’t even see your backs.”
“That day, I will not be sad, I will not be grieved, and I will not be jealous.”
“On the contrary, even if I die, I will die with a smile.”
Su Xinghai smiled, “I feel the same way.”
Li Changshou carried his hands on his back, “So, cultivate desperately, little ones.”
Chen Erzhu grinned, “I don’t have much culture, and I’m not good with words, so… me too.”
Duan Qingyao cast a spell, and large clouds gathered, carrying everyone to ascend to an altitude of ten thousand meters. “The scenery at the top is much more exciting than at the foot of the mountain. Even if it’s not for the sect, just for the sake of standing higher, you can’t slack off.”
The disciples were all moved.
Xiao Ling’er’s eyes were even red.
But they didn’t know that the elders standing in front felt the same way.
They knew more than the disciples, and because of this, they had more doubts and more confusion.
Like why Lin Fan was so strong just now?
But now, they roughly understood.
At the same time, they finally believed that this was the Embracing Moon Sect’s last chance!
They also believed that Lin Fan was the only sect leader in so many years who had given everyone hope.
“Could it be that before we die, we can really see the Embracing Moon Sect rise again?!”
If it were really so, just imagining the future scene would make them breathe rapidly.
“Even if we can’t see the rise, just being able to see the Embracing Moon Sect begin to flourish, begin to go uphill, would be without regret even in death.”
After this day, the disciples’ cultivation was obviously nonstop and more seriously.
Xiao Ling’er naturally didn’t need to be talked about. The life of a hot-blooded protagonist didn’t need explanation. Lin Fan wouldn’t be surprised even if she suddenly said one day, ‘Don’t underestimate a youth’s potential.’
The seven mascots also seemed to have their Ren and Du meridians opened.
Their cultivation didn’t advance by leaps and bounds, and their talent didn’t change, but diligence… at least it could make up for some of their shortcomings.
Xiao Ling’er’s growth would also deeply stimulate them, making them grit their teeth and chase after her.
With the blessing of the seventh-grade Condensing Yuan pill, their progress was naturally far beyond the past.
Li Changshou also successfully completed the matter.
He sold a portion of the seventh-grade Condensing Yuan Pills and obtained a full tens of thousands of spirit stones, enough for the sect and the protective formation to use for a period of time. At least in the short term, they didn’t have to worry about spirit stones.
The five elders were also busier…
Because Xiao Ling’er needed more spiritual herbs and materials.
However, although they were busy, they were all happy to do it.
Perhaps, the only problem with the Embracing Moon Sect at present was that there were too few disciples and the scale was too small, resulting in it being too deserted and lacking competition.
