CHAPTER 627: CHAPTER 627 DO WHATEVER THE ANCESTOR TELLS YOU TO DO

"I must confess, Elder Zhang, I’ve turned you down time and again because I truly had no other choice."

Zhang Zidao had already spoken to me with his heart on his sleeve, and I felt so touched that the truth just slipped out, "I have promised my maternal grandfather that I will take over the Lin Family in the future."

Who knew Zhang Zidao would suddenly smile and ask me, "So, dear disciple, do these two conflict?"

As the saying goes, a woman does not marry two husbands, a good man doesn’t take two wives.

How can I, with just one body, enter two sects and inherit both mantles?

Me: "They don’t conflict?"

"If Xiao Linzi agrees, would you then be willing to be my disciple?" Zhang Zidao seemed in high spirits as he signaled to Yu Rongling to pour three more rounds.

He contentedly poured and drank by himself, as if he had already taken me as his disciple.

Xiao Linzi...

Uh... Thinking about it carefully...

In terms of seniority, my grandfather really is just a child in front of Zhang Zidao.

Calling me Xiao Linzi is not wrong!

I awkwardly nodded, "If my grandfather agrees, there shouldn’t be a problem."

Grandfather... he probably won’t agree to me joining the Zhang Family, right??

"Wha~t? Xiao Linzi, right? It’s me, Zhang Zidao." Zhang Zidao suddenly picked up his phone and dialed out.

After chatting casually with Lin Huan for a moment, he beamingly handed me the phone, "Your grandfather wants to speak with you."

Watching Zhang Zidao’s sudden audacious move, I almost petrified on the spot.

I carefully took the phone, softly starting with, "Grandfather?"

"You’ve made progress, Wanwan, to have gained the admiration of our ancestor." Lin Huan, on the phone, showered me with praises then advised, "Learn well with the old ancestor, do whatever he tells you to do."

"If I really become Elder Zhang’s disciple, then... What about the Lin Family..." I felt utterly stumped, my lips nearly cramping up.

Unexpectedly, my grandfather, who values heritage so much, would be so supportive...

Grandfather’s hearty laughter came through, "Hahaha, you’ll still inherit the Lin Family, don’t worry. Follow the old ancestor; others can’t get this kind of fortune in several lifetimes, even I’m a bit envious."

"Uh, okay." I resigned myself and hung my head, "Happy New Year, Grandpa. How are you doing? How is mom? And grandma, is she... okay?"

"Everyone is doing alright, Wanwan, you’re thoughtful to remember your grandma. She’s getting on in years and is quite stubborn; don’t take it to heart what she says."

Lin Huan answered my questions and specifically consoled me about my grandmother Yan Hua’s disdain, finally seriously instructing, "When you have the time, come back to visit the Lin Family more often. If Yu Longting ever wrongs you, just come home, and your grandpa will support you."

"Okay, oh, Grandpa, there’s something... I’d like to ask for your help with." I hesitated, my nerves making my mouth dry.

Lin Huan’s voice tightened, "What is it? Did Yu Longting actually mistreat you?"

"No no no, not at all! Yu Longting has been very good to me, it’s something else..."

So much had happened in Western Hunan, I had almost forgotten about the promise I made to the Rat Immortal, but it came back to me while talking to Lin Huan. Summoning some courage, I requested, "Do you... Remember the Grey Immortal Robe on Su Qiang? Could... could you give it to me? I want to return it to the Grey Clan."

Five Great Family Immortals, for Fox: yellow, white, willow, and grey.

The last one, grey, refers to the Rat Immortal.

People often respectfully call it the Grey Immortal.

"I thought it was something serious, the way you were beating around the bush," Lin Huan paused on the phone, seeming to take a moment to think, "Like this, I’ll have someone send it to you, just wait to receive it."
