Lin Yao wanted to cultivate at the beginning in order to have a means of self-preservation, since there was no danger, it didn't matter if he had the potential to cultivate.

"Speaking of which, I've been in this world for so many days, and I've only come to a library in the huge palace, so it's better to take advantage of today's shopping. "The place where Lin Yao lives is located on the back mountain of the entire palace, which can be described as remote, but it is very close to the palace library, since he can't cultivate, there is no need to go to the library again, just leave his own one-third of an acre of land and go to the other places of the palace to see.

Finally got down the back mountain, Lin Yao hurriedly found a pavilion to sit down, panting and said: "There's something wrong, what kind of design genius is this, it actually built the room on the back mountain, it's too far, and the next time the mountain will be tired and half dead......"

While resting, he looked around at the surrounding environment, this is the home he will live in the future, the pavilion Lin Yao is in now is actually located in the northwest corner of a courtyard, this courtyard is at least four or five times larger than Lin Yao's own courtyard on the mountain behind the palace, and the layout is more luxurious, and it is also equipped with special servants and maids, while Lin Yao's mansion only has Xiao Susu and Lin Yao's mother and son, which is a little shabby in comparison.

"Third brother, is it the third brother?" While Lin Yao was sitting in the pavilion to rest, a tall young man in the courtyard walked towards Lin Yao, and when he saw Lin Yao's back, he was not sure.

Lin Yao heard that someone seemed to be calling him, so he turned around, for this unfamiliar face, Lin Yao had a question mark on his face, but from the title, it was estimated that this tall young man should be his eldest brother or second brother, and then bowed, and replied vaguely: "Well, brother." ”

"Sure enough, it's you!" the tall young man smiled, and then asked: "The third brother is just right, why did he leave the back mountain today, is he here to find the second brother for something?" No matter what it is, the second brother will definitely help you!"

"It turns out that this is the second brother Lin Yi. Lin Yao looked at it silently, and said politely: "How dare you bother the second brother, I just haven't left the back mountain for too long, and I want to look around to see if there are any big changes." ”

"In this way, then I'll find a few people to accompany you, the third brother's body is poor, and if he is tired, someone will take care of him, and the second brother I still have to prepare for next month's conference, so I won't accompany him." After Lin Yi finished speaking, he glanced at the few maids behind him and asked them to follow Lin Yao.

"Thank you, second brother! Since the second brother has something to do, I won't bother and say goodbye!" Lin Yao felt that this Lin Yi was not bad to him, so he saluted and thanked him and took the four maids to wander around the palace.

"Hmph, come on, tear down the pavilion where he sits, I'm dirty. After Lin Yao left, Lin Yi's face instantly darkened, and he said coldly.

Leaving Lin Yi's courtyard, Lin Yao found that the faces of the maids who followed behind him were not very good-looking, and when Lin Yi asked them to follow him just now, they were very reluctant, Lin Yao wondered: "Are you uncomfortable somewhere?" If you really don't want to follow me, go back to the second brother." ”

The maids shook their heads again and again, and their expressions were even more aggrieved: "The second young master doesn't want us anymore, we can only follow the third young master in the future, please don't drive us away." ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Yao remembered that Lin Yi didn't say that these maids were given to him, but he didn't bother to delve into it, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, what is the conference that my second brother said just now?

The maids looked at each other, and suddenly remembered that in the rumors, Lin Yao had lost his memory and forgotten many things, and then explained: "Back to the third young master, on the fifth day of the first month of next month, the Lin family in the sixteen cities of Donghai County will bring their talented children back to the palace of Qicheng County to pay homage to the prince, and at the same time, some big clans in Qicheng will be invited to let the talents of the younger generation of all ethnic groups have a competition, which can not only show the strength of the new generation of the Lin clan to the outside world, but also have the possibility of entering the family with outstanding performance." ”

"So that's the case, if the children of that family don't behave well and lose the majesty of the Lin family, will they also be expelled from the family?" After listening to the maid's explanation, Lin Yao suddenly said, no wonder so many young children ran all the way to the back mountain of the palace to enter and exit the second floor of the library a few days ago, they should be to participate in next month's conference and prepare some hole cards.

"Yes. The four maids bowed their heads deeply, unable to see their expressions, and replied: "All the adult young generations of this family, except for the eldest young master, must participate in the clan competition, and those who have no cultivation talent, no matter who they are, will be expelled from their own family. ”

"What?!" Hearing this, Lin Yao couldn't wait to vomit blood, according to the rules of the Cangyun Empire, a man is an adult at the age of fifteen, that is to say, after the fifth day of the first month of next month, the crippled spirit root himself will definitely be driven out, and he will have to be beaten in vain.

“...... Be sure to find me......"

"What sound?" When Lin Yao's head was buzzing with this bad news, he suddenly heard a voice full of obsession coming into his ears from the hall in front of him.

"There is no sound, the third young master is tired, do you want to rest first?" The maids did not hear any sound.

"What's the place ahead?" Lin Yao frowned slightly, and asked by pointing to the hall in front of him.

"That's the Mingguang Palace, and it's the place where the prince and the ministers deliberate. ”

"Prince...... Just look at what kind of ball my cowhide coaxing dad looks like. "Lin Yao has been in this world for several days, but he has never seen this legendary father come to visit him and Xiao Susu, and he was still alive before, barely picking up a life.

Lin Yao held his breath, and walked into the Mingguang Hall with a little nervousness, but found that there was no one in the main hall, although he was a little disappointed, his mood suddenly relaxed, and he glanced around at this Mingguang Palace, and his eyes locked on a strange long sword hanging high on the wall behind the throne.

It's not that the shape of this long sword is peculiar, but that it seems to have eyes, and when Lin Yao sees the long sword, it seems that the long sword is also looking at him.

Lin Yao, who was curious, involuntarily walked towards the throne, and was about to reach out to hook the long sword, when the maids behind him hurriedly stopped him: "Third Young Master, that is the sword of the prince, Xing Ke, it's better not to touch it." ”

"Okay. It was recorded in the book that Lin Xuan had a sword that could cause miracles, named Xing Ke, although he was very curious about this long sword in his heart, Lin Yao still held back and left the Mingguang Palace.

The territory of the palace is bigger than Lin Yao imagined, Lin Yao walked around for most of the day, and he didn't go all over the palace, seeing that it was getting late, he had to go back to the back mountain first, and when he went out, Xiao Susu told Lin Yao to go home early.

Even if he doesn't say it, Lin Yao will go back early, because he is a little greedy for Xiao Susu's cooking, these days, Xiao Susu has taken care of himself meticulously, he is more gentle and considerate than his own mother, and he also cooks a good meal, every day is not the same, the most important thing is that because his spiritual root is crippled and cannot be cultivated, everyone in the palace looks at him differently, but this mother Xiao Susu will be good to herself, Lin Yao often sighs in his heart: There is still only a mother in the world.

Since the four maids were reluctant to return to Lin Yi and insisted on following him, Lin Yao had no choice but to take them back to the back mountain together.

"Mother, I'm back!" Lin Yao smelled the aroma of rice before he entered the door, and greeted from afar.

"Yao'er is back~ The meal has just been prepared, come and taste if it suits your appetite~" Hearing Lin Yao's voice, Xiao Susu unbuttoned her apron and walked out of the room happily.

"Madame Shaw. Seeing Xiao Susu come out, the four maids behind Lin Yao hurriedly saluted.

"Who are you?" asked Xiao Susu, a little confused.

"Mother, they turned out to be the second brother's maids, today the second brother asked them to accompany me around the house, and when they came back, they insisted on following me, so they had to bring it back, and now they are the maids of our family~" Lin Yao explained with a hippie smile.

"I see, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat together. Xiao Susu welcomed with a smile.

"Then how can it be, it's better for Mrs. Xiao and the third young master to eat first. The maids were a little frightened and said, there is a difference between the lord and the inferior, if this was in Lin Yi's house, the subordinates who dared to go to the table to eat with the master would have been executed a long time ago.

"It's okay, you came back later today, I cooked a lot of extra meals, and Yao'er and I couldn't finish it, and before I married the prince, I was just a little maid, so you don't have to be too restrained. Xiao Susu smiled gently.

Lin Yao looked at Xiao Susu, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, Xiao Susu was already married to Lin Xuan, even if she was just a concubine, her status should be extremely respectful, and she should enjoy all the glory and wealth, but now it is the mother and son who live on the back mountain, and all the work is still done by themselves, and there is no difference between them and a subordinate.

All this is because of Lin Yao, this is a world where strength is respected, but Lin Yao is crippled, he has no strength at all, people say that mothers are more expensive than children, but Xiao Susu has been snubbed because of Lin Yao, and next month, he may be expelled from the county king's mansion and separated from Xiao Susu's mother and son.

"Maybe I should try to find a way to repair the spiritual root. Lin Yao sighed in his heart and began to eat, but as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, his hands trembled like a sieve, and the chopsticks fell directly to the ground.

"What's the matter? Could it be that you are too tired from walking today?" Lin Yao looked at his hands and guessed in his heart, but he still couldn't control the trembling of his hands, and his body was getting colder and colder, and the qi and blood in his chest kept surging.

"Oh no, Yao'er!" Xiao Susu saw this scene, his expression suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly got up and ran to Lin Yao's side, holding Lin Yao's hand.

Burst!

The next moment, Lin Yao spurted out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale in an instant, his eyes were blurred, and his vision began to blur, like a dying person.

"Ahh

"You guys go get a basin of water and get a clean towel!" Xiao Susu was about to cry, patting Lin Yao on the back and instructing the maids.

After the maid left, Xiao Susu lay Lin Yao flat on the ground, pressed his hands on Lin Yao's heart, and an incomparably strong aura poured into Lin Yao's body, Lin Yao's face quickly became rosy like a trick, but his consciousness was not yet fully awake.

Xiao Susu remembered something, and hurriedly took out a white jade bottle from his cuff, poured out a pill, and sent it into Lin Yao's mouth.
