“Whether it’s Kang s.h.i.+ or the others, they’re all here for us. Since they’re here for us, we’ll make the best use of them.”
“…”
“Let’s bring him to the Medicine Sect first before addressing him openly. We can obtain any pills we desire.”
“…”
“I’ll handle this matter. You observe from the sidelines. The affairs of the clan will be under our control in the future. You need to learn how to manage things steadily,” the First Elder a.s.serted.
Kang Yan remained slightly dissatisfied, but his father’s reasoning made sense.
His discontent stemmed not from anything else but his aversion to Kang s.h.i.+ being in the spotlight, no matter the circ.u.mstances.
If they utilized him, they would still attract attention.
Kang Yan wished for Kang s.h.i.+, this seemingly worthless individual, to continue being unremarkable.
The First Elder patted Kang s.h.i.+’s shoulder and conveyed, “Yan’er, now that you’ve matured, Father’s influence in the clan has strengthened. As we’re no longer the same as before, we need to adapt. We must become magnanimous. If he can be of use, we’ll tolerate him. Ultimately, it’s still within your control.”
Understanding his son’s sentiments, the First Elder knew that trifles wouldn’t concern him when aiming for greatness.
Although Kang Yan comprehended, he couldn’t entirely let go. He nodded reluctantly. “Father, I understand.”
The First Elder nodded approvingly. That was more like it.
“It’s good that you understand,” the First Elder replied.
He signaled his men to summon Kang s.h.i.+ and instructed him to perform a task joyfully.
While Kang Yan lingered nearby, the First Elder awaited further developments.
During this time, the First Elder refrained from further discussion. He aimed to use this period to contemplate how to handle Kang s.h.i.+’s situation.
After a brief while…
Kang s.h.i.+ approached.
He appeared lively, yet somewhat unkempt.
“First Elder, what brings you here?” Kang s.h.i.+ bowed and inquired, maintaining a balanced demeanor.
The First Elder gazed at Kang s.h.i.+.
He sensed a subtle change in Kang s.h.i.+, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Concealing his thoughts, he said, “I heard you’ve been refining numerous pills lately, and their effects are quite remarkable?”
Gu Chaoyan quickly discerned that the First Elder had learned about the pills and was gearing up to manage the situation.
Kang s.h.i.+ smiled and disclaimed, “I dabbled in it casually. Disciples often engage in sporadic pill refining. It’s a common practice. Occasionally, when I refine a surplus, I exchange them with fellow disciples. If they find it worthwhile, they willingly partic.i.p.ate.”
“…”
“I’m not actually proficient in pill refining,” Kang s.h.i.+ insisted.
The First Elder chuckled. “Why so modest?”
“…”
“I comprehend the situation. Your cultivation has remained stagnant. Instead of this, why not consider joining the Medicine Sect? The Medicine Sect has been short of hands in recent years. Rest a.s.sured, with your father as the Clan Leader, regardless of your destination, the clan will treat you well.”
“…”
“What are your thoughts?”
“Nothing.” Gu Chaoyan directly declined.
“Kang s.h.i.+, don’t be unappreciative. With your current cultivation level, if there’s no improvement within the next two years, you’ll be compelled to work outside the clan. I’m just suggesting this for your own benefit…”
