“Now, let’s give a warm welcome to Lin Lu, a member of the Lucheng Cultivation Committee and director of the Inspection Bureau, who will deliver an important address. Let’s hear it for him!”
“Director Lin, as I understand it, you’re a Lucheng native who rose through the ranks here. Your early experiences inspired countless people who wanted to serve cultivators.”
“You were orphaned and destitute as a child, but never gave up. Through your own hard work, you got into No. 1 High School, won Outstanding Student and Three Purities Student awards year after year, and were named one of Lucheng’s Ten Most Inspiring Young People in your senior year. Then you topped the city in the university entrance exams and got into Modu University. There, you held important positions, including student council president.”
“You could have stayed in Modu and made your mark on a much bigger stage, but you resolutely returned to your hometown to serve cultivators...”
“You started at the grassroots level in Lucheng and worked your way up step by step, yet it still took you five years to become director of the Inspection Bureau and protect the city’s cultivators. What a terrible injustice...”
“I’d like to ask you, Director Lin!” The host’s eyes filled with tears. Sobbing, she asked, “What kind of spirit, what kind of fearless courage, carried you through all the rumors and criticism and brought you to where you are today?”
Lin Lu smiled and said, word by word, “There’s no such thing as peaceful times. I’m simply the one bearing the burden for everyone else.”
The host was moved to tears and led the entire audience in a mysterious dance.
“Listen, I want to say thank you, ”
“Because of you...”
“You’ve brought warmth...”
