This Family Is a Bit Timid

Others cultivate immortality for the sake of longevity and freedom, and kill demons. My family cultivates immortality just to survive - to survive until the next era. My name is Lin Xiao, an ordinary member of the Lin family in Qixia Mountain. The ancestral motto of my family is one word: coward. When in trouble, hide when you can, don't fight for treasures, and laugh when you see others. The entire world of cultivators regards us as honest farmers with good luck. Until that day, I discovered traces of the ancient "Star Observation Gate" and a bloody family copper coin in the secret realm. My father died in front of that door nineteen years ago. The family called me back overnight and said lightly: "Forget it, keep it secret." But I accidentally pushed open the deepest secret door in the family - Guilin Hall. There I learned: Behind my family's "cowardice" is a mountain-protecting formation that can kill the Nascent Soul, a network of sleepers that penetrates various sects, and a doomsday warehouse that hollows out the mountains. When my family is not "farming", they are engaged in intelligence secret warfare, resource monopoly, and civilization backup. And that "door" is related to a catastrophe that can bury the entire world of immortality. My family has been preparing for this for three thousand years. Now, the secret is starting to leak because of me, and the eyes from the dark are coming again. The head of the family patted my shoulder with tired eyes: "Xiao'er, remember-" "The Lin family has been cowardly for three thousand years, not because we are afraid of death." "It's because we know when to be timid." "And when... Should let the enemy die."
