Chapter 328 My Brother's Heartfelt Thanks? Lin Xiyue: Ugh, so cheesy!
Blue Star, Great Xia.
Inside the Quiet Room.
Since hanging up the communication with Lin Mo, Lin Xiyue had not left; instead, she sat cross-legged on the prayer mat and began to Cultivate.
Don't be fooled by how busy she had been lately, appearing as if she hadn't been Cultivating properly.
In reality, her cultivation progress was not slow at all!
By now, her cultivation had quietly reached the eighth level of the Golden Core!
She was not far from the Nascent Soul Realm, where one shatters the core to form the soul!
"Whew... I need to hurry up."
"I must strive for an early Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Lin Xiyue set a small goal for herself in her heart.
It wasn't that she had any ambition to dominate the world.
It was purely because... the precious disciple she had just taken in, Shen Qingyi, was simply too much of a Prodigy!
That cultivation speed was just like drinking water, soaring upwards with a 'whoosh'!
If one day this disciple's cultivation surpassed hers as the Revered Master... where would she put her Face as a Revered Master?
For the dignity of the Revered Master-disciple path, she had to work hard!
Just as Lin Xiyue had her eyes tightly closed and her aura was growing rapidly and steadily.
Buzz!
An ethereal yet familiar notification sound rang out deep in her mind without any warning.
"Eh?"
Lin Xiyue snapped her eyes open, a clear hint of confusion showing in those large, spirited eyes.
"Brother?"
"Didn't he just contact me not long ago?"
"Why is he contacting me again so soon?"
She remembered clearly that her brother had vowed earlier to go to the Holy Land and kidnap an Artifact Refiner for her.
How long had it been? At most, only a few hours' work, right?
Although she couldn't quite figure it out, Lin Xiyue didn't dwell on it.
She immediately ceased her cultivation and connected the communication at once.
"Hello? Brother?"
"What's going on?"
As soon as the connection was made, Lin Xiyue's energetic voice transmitted over.
"Don't tell me you found the blacksmithing talent this quickly?"
There was a hint of pleasant surprise in her tone; if that were the case, her brother's efficiency would be terrifyingly high!
"What are you thinking?"
Lin Mo's somewhat speechless voice rang in Lin Xiyue's mind.
"How could that be possible!"
"I'm still traveling on the flying boat right now, I haven't even seen a shadow of the Yanyang Holy Land yet, where would I find someone for you?"
"So you didn't find anyone?"
Lin Xiyue was stunned, then asked somewhat puzzledly:
"Then is there some urgent matter?"
"Could it be that you've run into trouble again?"
At this point, her tone became slightly more serious.
"Tell me, Brother, what do you need me to do?"
"Your Younger Sister guarantees she'll handle it beautifully for you!"
"Hah, you're overthinking it."
Looking at his Younger Sister's cute appearance on the light screen—looking like she was facing a great enemy and ready to charge into battle at any moment—Lin Mo couldn't help but smile, his heart warming.
"This time I don't need you to do anything, and I haven't run into any trouble."
"It's just that I..."
"Just got some good stuff on the road."
"I thought they'd suit you quite well, so I prepared to give them to you as a gift!"
A rare trace of doting laughter was in Lin Mo's voice.
"Ah?"
"A gift?!"
Hearing those two words, Lin Xiyue's eyes lit up in a flash, like two small light bulbs!
"Holy crap! For real?"
"Brother, have you finally remembered that you still have a precious sister waiting to be fed?"
Lin Xiyue's excitement was simply beyond words; she almost jumped up from the prayer mat.
It wasn't surprising she had such a big reaction.
If she calculated carefully, ever since Lin Mo's Awakening of the System,
Aside from that initial green wood qi nurturing pill that helped her with Qi induction which was specifically for her,
The Cultivation Techniques, Formation Plates, and even that nation-guarding divine general Little Gold that were sent back later... although she could use them and benefit from them, in the end, they were all for the country and for the big picture!
A "private gift" like this, which her brother had specifically prepared for her, was a first!
Of course, she certainly wouldn't blame her brother for it.
She was a sensible sister and knew it wasn't easy for her brother over there,
And opportunities to teleport items had always been rare and precious.
They had to be used where they were most needed!
This was for survival and for Great Xia; she completely understood and had always been silently supportive.
But understanding was one thing... as a sister, who wouldn't want to receive a gift from her brother?
"It's definitely for real!"
Seeing his Younger Sister's expression of mixed surprise and joy, Lin Mo said with a smile:
"How could I possibly forget my precious sister?"
"You are my greatest contributor!"
At this point, Lin Mo's voice suddenly became a bit low and full of emotion.
He looked at the girl in the light screen who always showed him a smile, who never complained once no matter how hard or tiring it was,
And a sense of guilt couldn't help but well up in his heart.
"Ahem... that."
"Younger Sister..."
"All this time... you've really worked hard."
"Thank you!"
Lin Mo said these words very softly, but their meaning was heavy.
He knew better than anyone.
From the moment he got the System, Lin Xiyue was forced into this massive vortex.
In order to make him stronger and allow him to survive in that cruel Xuanhuan world.
This eighteen-year-old girl, who should have been enjoying a carefree university life,
Had stubbornly shouldered the heavy burden of being the "dao ancestors spokesperson"!
Whether it was coordinating the overall situation for him or her current desperate cultivation... she had always been working hard and contributing in silence.
And every time they contacted each other, what she showed Lin Mo was always that heartless, innocent, and happy smiling Face.
As if it were all very easy.
But Lin Mo knew that carrying the heavy responsibility given by him and Great Xia, and bearing the future of billions of people,
The pressure in his sister's heart was actually not a bit smaller than his own struggle in the Cangxuan Great Realm!
She just never showed it.
For the sake of... not making him, her brother, worry, and not distracting him!
This was his sister!
However.
Just as Lin Mo was still moved by his own thoughts and brewing more sentimental words.
"???"
On the other end of the communication, Lin Xiyue shuddered all over and held her arms with a look of horror.
"Brother, did you take the wrong medicine?"
"Or have you been Possessed?"
"Why are you suddenly saying such cheesy things?"
“Eww! I’m getting goosebumps!”
She exaggeratedly rubbed her arms, looking as if she were disgusted.
"..."
Lin Mo's affectionate thanks were instantly shattered by Lin Xiyue's roasting.
"Alright, alright, don't do that sentimental stuff, didn't I say so!"
"We siblings don't do that!"
Lin Xiyue quickly interrupted him, intentionally changing the subject.
"Quickly tell me, what exactly is the gift you prepared for me?"
"I'm dying of curiosity!"
Looking at his Younger Sister's impatient look, Lin Mo shook his head helplessly and could only laugh it off.
This girl really didn't leave any room for a touching moment.
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I said it."
"I'll just send it over and you'll see!"
With those words, with a thought, Lin Mo prepared to send those two massive Divine Beast eggs over.
"Wait a second!"
Just then, Lin Xiyue suddenly shouted, stopping Lin Mo's action.
"Brother, don't send it yet!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Mo was stunned.
"That..."
Lin Xiyue bit her lip, saying with some conflict and heartache:
"Your teleportation opportunities are so precious... don't waste them on a small matter like giving me a gift, okay?"
"How about... you keep it first?"
"Wait until there's some critical moment of life and death to use it?"
"Anyway, the gift is right there and won't run away. It'll be the same if you give it to me when we meet in the future!"
Although she really wanted the gift and was looking forward to it.
But at the thought that this might consume one of her brother's precious teleportation opportunities, she felt a bit pained and reluctant.
What if her brother encountered danger in the future and urgently needed support from Great Xia, but was delayed because he didn't have any teleportation counts left... she would definitely regret it to death!
Hearing this, another warm current surged through Lin Mo's heart.
It really was his sister!
Even at a time like this, her head was still full of his safety and the big picture.
"Silly girl."
Lin Mo laughed, laughing very happily.
"Don't worry, do I look like the kind of person who doesn't know what's important?"
"Since the System's last upgrade, I now get two teleportation opportunities every three days, and they can even accumulate infinitely!"
"So the teleportation count is no longer as tight as before."
"Just put your heart at ease!"
"I know what I'm doing!"
Having said that, without waiting for Lin Xiyue to continue arguing, Lin Mo directly gave the command dominantly.
"System, teleport!"
[Ding, command has been accepted, item teleportation successful!]
