In the past, the geniuses of the five major academies graduated, if they valued fame and fortune, most of them would accept the royal family's solicitation and step into officialdom, but if they missed the old love or were indifferent to fame and fortune, most of them would choose to stay in the academy as mentors, and some would even open a academy on their own.

But these people only encountered a fork in the road in their lives when they graduated from the academy, and Li Lin was enrolled in Hongsang Academy for less than half a year, and the royal family extended an olive branch to him.

There is no way, the youngest Confucian, such a terrifying genius would be very exciting if it were any force.

"Hehe......" Faced with this temptation that ordinary people could not refuse, Li Lin smiled indifferently and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness the Prince, but I have no intention of officialdom, I just want to concentrate on writing books." ”

In order to truly step into the small realm of "Shuling Soldiers" as soon as possible, what Li Lin needs now is quiet cultivation, if he enters the officialdom, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will protect him all the way, he still has to face many intrigues, which conflicts with Li Lin's plan.

Therefore, Li Lin did not hesitate to refuse to the prince.

The prince sighed secretly when he heard this, and said regretfully: "Well, if you change your mind, you can come to Wujing to find me at any time." ”

At their level, once the decision is made, it will not be easily changed, so the prince also understands that it is impossible to persuade Li Lin to stay, but fortunately, even if Li Lin stays in Hongsang Academy, he is still a citizen of the Zhou Kingdom, and the youngest Confucian is from the Great Zhou, this fact is enough to make the prince's thoughts clear.

So, the prince smiled slightly and said, "In a few days, I will send someone to send you back to Hongsang City, and you might as well go shopping in Wujing these days." ”

"No......" Li Lin shook his head and smiled: "Wujing, I will come again, what I need most now is to return to the academy to settle myself, I think I will leave and return tomorrow!"

Li Lin has made up his mind, and the prince is not reluctant, and after saying a few more words, the prince is also ready to leave, as the crown prince, he can be regarded as a daily manager, so it is naturally impossible to stay with Li Lin for too long.

But before the prince left, he said a piece of news, which made Li Lin's pupils shrink slightly.

"Li Lin, one last thing to tell you, that demon in the Luoyun Mountain Range is not dead yet. ”

The next day, after Li Lin had simply dressed up, he left Wujing, and before leaving, he took some of the gold from the Wanshu Pavilion battle from the royal family, and the rest of the gold was still not taken - although Li Lin's strength was now monstrous, it was not convenient to carry so much gold with him.

After exchanging the gold for a common currency, he got up and set out for the Red Mulberry City.

Before leaving, Li Lin only informed Luo Lan for a moment, and then set out on the road alone.

Wujing is also dozens of days away from Hongsang City, and Li Lin does not have the toad in Sang Hongyun's pen, so he can only walk back step by step.

Although as a five-star writer, it is not a problem for him to write a livestock for driving, or to buy a carriage, Li Lin chose the most down-to-earth way to carefully appreciate the scenery along the way.

It's not for nothing that he did this, it's still the old saying, his strength is progressing too fast, it can be said that he has reached the sky in one step, but this amazing progress is not without a price at all, Li Lin himself knows very well, on the surface he is very beautiful, the youngest Confucian of the generation, but if he is complacent with this arrogance, it will be difficult for him to reach a higher peak in the future.

Precipitation, he needs precipitation.

Perception, he needs to perceive.

Insight, he needs insight.

The most important thing for him now is not to write a book, but to adjust his psychological condition to the best, and with a solid foundation, he will have some certainty of impacting the six-star or even seven-star realm in the future.

Therefore, Li Lin would rather work harder, walk all over the mountains and rivers with his feet, and understand the red dust of the world.

On this day, he came to a small town called Chuanxi Town, which was also some distance away from Wujing and belonged to the jurisdiction of Zizhulin Academy.

Walking into Chuanxi Town, Li Lin found an inn, ordered a pot of tea at random, and sat down.

Not long after, a person walked in from outside, and when he saw Li Lin looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

However, the man reacted quickly, smiled naturally, walked to the opposite side of Li Lin and sat down, and said, "My lord, we meet again." ”

Li Lin poured a cup of tea disapprovingly, and said, "It's not a coincidence, tell me, what have you been doing with me for so many days?"

The man's eyes looked to the side, and he said casually: "My lord, you are too careful, I just happened to pass by." ”

Li Lin smiled slightly and said, "You have been secretly following me since three days ago, if it weren't for our fate in Xiaozhang Village, I would have taken you out and rewarded you with a slap." ”

This was said tyrannically, but Li Lin's expression was relaxed, which made the man shudder.

"Sure enough, I still can't escape the eyes of adults, and I am poor. The man said with a wry smile, and the fairy bone demeanor of his body also looked a little cramped.

Yes, this person is the old man who pretended to be forced in Xiaozhang Village a few days ago, Wen Qicheng.

"I said Lao Wen, we are all old friends, why do you need to say these polite words?" Li Lin took a sip of tea with a smile and said, "Why don't you tell me about something?"

Wen Qicheng shuddered again, for some reason, seeing Li Lin's smile made him feel a sense of fear of being targeted by prehistoric monsters.

After calming down, Wen Qicheng regained his solemn expression, and said with a fairy style: "My lord, this time the family teacher has an order and orders me to come to find my lord." ”

"Looking for me?" Li Lin smiled and said, "Don't beat around the bush, what are you looking for me?" I can't say anything, for the sake of you following me for three days, I will definitely slap your face crooked!"

Wen Qicheng was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The family teacher ordered me to come and follow the adult!"

"Follow me?" Li Lin couldn't help but be stunned, and tried to recall: "I remember...... You are from the Xuanzhen sect, and your master's name is ...... What's it called?"

"The family teacher's road number is Dingchen Dao people. Wen Qicheng sighed, thinking that his master was also the number one person, and even some small and medium-sized academies respected him, but he didn't expect that in Li Lin's mouth, he seemed to be an insignificant person.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "It's him! Why, your master asked you to follow me? Could it be some conspiracy?"

Wen Qicheng smiled bitterly when he heard this: "My lord, I can't answer you accurately...... I won't tell you the truth, the family teacher is good at divination, a few days ago he calculated that you are the son of fate, follow you, and you can leave a glimmer of life for my Xuanzhen faction when the catastrophe comes!"

"Wait, wait! I was a little confused when you heard this!" Li Lin hurriedly said: "Your master calculated that I am a child of destiny? What kind of nonsense is this? Also, what is the Great Tribulation? Why don't I know?"

Wen Qicheng shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, the divination of the family teacher rarely makes mistakes...... He calculated that you are the child of fate, and you must be the one who is favored by fate! In addition, I have only heard a few words from my tutor about the so-called catastrophe, and it is said that the catastrophe is coming, and no one in the world can escape at that time! If you can't get through it, you are ...... Doomsday. ”

"Doomsday?" Li Lin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Interesting." ”

After being silent for a few seconds, Li Lin said leisurely: "Okay, I will allow you to follow, and you will reluctantly be my guard." ”

As a great Confucian, it is normal to have a few followers, Li Lin happens to have no one around, and it is also a good thing to take this old Taoist as a guard, although this old Taoist loves to pretend to be forced, but he is from the Xuanzhen faction, and he still has some real skills.

It just so happened that Li Lin's "Headless General" was scrapped before, and naturally there was no middle-aged Taoist priest to drive him, and now there is a genuine old Taoist priest to make up for the shortcomings.

Seeing Li Lin nodding, Wen Qicheng said in surprise: "Thank you, sir!"

You must know that it is an honor for many people to be able to follow a writer, especially Li Linnai is a student of Hongsang Academy, this amount is even more different, even Wen Qicheng from the Xuanzhen School will feel that he is stained with Li Lin's light.

After all, Wen Qi is an adult, and his status and future in the Xuanzhen Sect are not optimistic, and it is not a good thing to follow Li Lin.

At this moment, Li Lin looked at the top of Wen Qicheng's head as if he suddenly noticed, and asked, "By the way, Old Wen, your hair was still gray when I saw it last time, why is it so dark now." ”
