"Brother Lin, regarding Erniu's matter, it was indeed sowhat careless."
The eighty-year-old Shen Lie, with a head full of gray hair, could only shake his head and sigh helplessly regarding Erniu's family affair.
anwhile, Wei Buyi, standing nearby, let out a cold snort, clearly displeased.
"Back then, when Erniu coveted beauty and took concubines, I already said that the wife of his youth should not be abandoned. And the result? Ever since Yifan established his Foundation, he's been living in a dream.
He truly thinks he's the ancestor of a Foundation Establishnt Clan. Look at how many concubines he's taken over the years. Yifan is indeed his biological son, but it was this wife of Erniu's youth who raised him single-handedly!"
Wei Buyi spoke with frustration, and despite his harsh words, they were grounded in truth.
Lin Chang'an, upon hearing this, also shook his head and sighed.
"This Erniu, how is it that even at his age, he lacks discretion and managed to cause such a significant issue."
Over the years, ever since Li Yifan established his Foundation and beca independent, Li Erniu has enjoyed elevated status thanks to his son and took on the role of the Li Family's ancestor.
Having taken several beautiful concubines, dissatisfaction arose due to the internal distribution of resources. This concubine even colluded with her brother from her maiden family, taking advantage of the absence of Li Yifan, the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, within the clan.
They stole a premium Foundation Establishnt Pill that Li Yifan had left behind after establishing his Foundation.
Faced with Erniu's family affair, they all shook their heads.
The three of them made their way to the Li Family.
The courtyard exuded a strange atmosphere.
"Uncle Lin, Uncle Shen, Uncle Wei."
Upon entering, they were greeted by Li Yifan.
As the only Foundation Establishnt Cultivator of the Li Family, Li Yifan received them respectfully, but he rely led them to his father's courtyard and did not enter.
One could imagine the years of strained relations between the father and son duo.
At this ti, inside the house, despite his age, Li Erniu had fallen seriously ill due to this incident, unable to recover until Lin Chang'an and the others ca to see him, which moved him to tears.
"Brother Lin, what is this ss, how could that shaless woman dare this! How dare he!"
After experiencing this situation, Erniu appeared aged by several years, his eyes filled with remorse and sha.
"Brother Lin, this was sothing Yifan left with great effort, planning for the future... It's all my fault; after drinking too much, I foolishly let it slip..."
Lin Chang'an once again shook his head. How could Erniu, at such an age, still act so thoughtlessly?
The blunt Wei Buyi harshly stomped his iron crutch and said unkindly:
"Erniu, it's not that you're getting old, nor is it that you drank too much, or were possessed by ghosts; it's that you were carried away by success. Look at the foolish things you've done over the years.
Look outside this room, your progeny, due to uneven resource distribution, are clearly divided. To the unaware, it might seem like a mundane imperial power struggle!"
Seeing Wei Buyi's anger, Shen Lie hurriedly stepped in to advise.
"Erniu, don't get too angry."
"How can I not be angry! A Foundation Establishnt Pill! That shaless woman, conspiring with her brother, actually stole it..."
Li Erniu roared in fury, with various expressions among the family mbers within the courtyard.
Li Yifan's mother and her offspring each displayed a mix of anger and indifference.
After this incident, what did these children of the concubines have to compete for resources with them?
And now, each of the concubines was in a state of anxiety, collectively hateful of the vile woman who stole the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
In just a few years, the Li Family, with so few people, made Lin Chang'an feel as if he were in a royal family's scheming environnt.
"That shaless woman has been captured and is now locked in the back room, but her brother has already taken the Foundation Establishnt Pill and gone into seclusion."
Inside the room, seeing Li Erniu's remorseful appearance, Lin Chang'an understood.
If this person failed to establish his Foundation, he would be nothing more than a Qi Refining Cultivator, and naturally, Li Yifan would not spare him.
But what if he succeeded in establishing his Foundation?
Therefore, regarding the concubine who conspired with outsiders to steal the Foundation Establishnt Pill, even Li Yifan would first imprison her, waiting to see how events would unfold.
"Erniu, since it has co to this, as Friend Wei said, establishing a cultivator family is no easy task."
Lin Chang'an shook his head, having no intention to ddle in Erniu's family affairs.
Shen Lie also patted Erniu, sighing in resignation.
"Erniu, I'm originally from a royal family, yet why do you think I never considered establishing an Immortal Cultivation Clan with Qingqing all these years? Even when Shen Fan established his Foundation, I never gave it a thought?
Building a family business takes more than a day, and establishing rules doesn't happen overnight. Even royal families among mortals are like this, so establishing an Immortal Cultivation Clan is no easy feat."
After a series of consolations, Lin Chang'an remained calm, clearly seeing the pleading glint in Li Erniu's eyes.
But his heart was unmoved because sooner or later, he had to leave this place to pursue the Immortal Dao of longevity.
He could help once, but how could he keep helping all the ti?
...
It wasn't until the end that Lin Chang'an walked out of the room and encountered Li Yifan in the courtyard.
"Uncle Lin."
Lin Chang'an gave a light hum, looked at the reticent Yifan, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "What do you think of this matter?"
Li Yifan, however, was not as angry as expected. Instead, he calmly raised his head, his eyes filled only with endless fatigue.
"Uncle Lin, now I finally understand why the Zhou Family agreed so readily for
to establish my own household back then."
Under Li Yifan's complex expression, it was clear that the Zhou Family's hundreds of years of heritage weren't sothing any Foundation Establishnt Cultivator could simply use to establish an Immortal Cultivation Clan.
If it were that easy, there would be countless Immortal Cultivation Clans under the heavens.
Back then, he was simply a factor of instability; letting him set up his own house was actually the best choice.
