Normally, the simplest ambition was to protect one's loved ones.
Before Lin Yuan became the Moon Empress' disciple, his loved ones only included Chu Ci and maybe Uncle Li and Auntie Zhang, who took care of him.
But after becoming the Moon Empress' disciple, the entire Radiant Moon Palace had become his family.
Now that Chu Ci had become Cold Moon's disciple, Lin Yuan's family ties were closely connected with the Radiant Moon Palace.
As for the Return from Faraway Mansion, they were friends that had gone through thick and thin with Lin Yuan.
The private faction Sky City had also come from the Return from Faraway Mansion.
Lin Yuan wanted to protect the people that he cared about. No one felt more pressure to do this than Lin Yuan.
Thus, Lin Yuan felt that his improvement over the last eight months was nothing to toot his own horn about. He still had a long way to go.
