Chapter 41: Escape?
Lin Geng's awakening made the gloomy atmosphere of the Lin family finally come to an end, in the hearts of the Lin family, as long as Lin Geng, as the head of the family, wakes up, then all problems are not a problem.
At the same time, as a figure who turned the tide, Lin Haoxue's image in the hearts of everyone in the Lin family suddenly became stronger and more magical, and she also became the object of worship of the Lin family. From a delicate young lady who needed someone to protect her a few months ago, she has now become the backbone of the Lin family and the backbone of the Lin family. This change can be said to be earth-shaking. Now, Lin Haoxue's reputation in the Lin family is not inferior to Lin Geng's, and there are even faint signs of transcendence.
Lin Haoxue couldn't cry or laugh at the formation of such a situation, but Lin Geng didn't care about it at all, and even secretly rejoiced that Lin Haoxue could improve the self-confidence and cohesion of everyone in the Lin family.
During this period, Lin Haoxue and Lin Geng were busy with plans against the Wu family.
Five days later, an astonishing piece of news swept through Taixing City: a person with good talent appeared in the Lin family, a small third-rate family, and this newly baked genius was none other than Lin Haoxue, who still had no cultivation talent not long ago. Now, this second young lady threatens to challenge all the disciples of the Wu family, one of the Big Three, by herself.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately became a hot topic in the streets and alleys of Taixing City, and people talked about it before and after tea, and felt that the credibility was not high, but after hearing that the Lin family had also invited the heads of the Zheng and Wang families to testify, they knew that this matter was true.
The attitude towards this matter, the people of Taixing City are divided into two camps, one is to support Lin Haoxue, thinking that since Lin Haoxue dares to challenge, then he must have his own hole cards, and the facts of these people are based on the fact that Lin Haoxue defeated He Long of the He family last time, however, the people who hold this view are less than two percent of the total number.
The other thinks that Lin Haoxue does not know the height of the sky, and is arrogant and presumptuous. They believe that although Lin Haoxue had defeated He Long of the He family at the beginning, that He Long was just a great mysticist. Now she has to face the entire Wu family, a family with a history of three hundred years and an extremely deep heritage. Such one of the giants of Taixing City is obviously not something that her little Lin Haoxue can shake. Moreover, there are no less than dozens of great Xuanshi among the disciples of the Wu family, and there is no shortage of geniuses who surpass the Great Xuanshi, Lin Haoxue's move is no different from hitting a stone with an egg. And no less than eighty percent of those who hold this view.
Of course, this is because very few people know the news that Lin Haoxue challenged Wu Shiyue and became a spell master that time, and it has not been spread, otherwise this proportion may be reversed.
The entire Taixing City was in an uproar, but the Lin family and the Wu family, who were the parties involved, were surprisingly quiet. It's as if nothing happened. But everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm. The Wu family knew Lin Haoxue's strength, so naturally they would not despise this duel. But the Lin family did not relax for half a minute, according to the reply of the Zheng and Wang families, when she heard the news of Lin Haoxue's challenge, the Wu family agreed very happily, knowing that their strength was still so happy, they must be prepared, Lin Haoxue and Lin Geng couldn't help but secretly pay attention.
In the curiosity and expectation of the people in Taixing City, the time for the duel has finally arrived.
On this day, tens of thousands of people in Taixing City gathered around the fighting arena in the east of the city, whether they supported Lin Haoxue or the Wu family, they all wanted to see this liveliness. For many poor people, being able to see the duel between the best of the younger generation will inevitably benefit them a lot, and whether it is the children of the Wu family or Lin Haoxue, they are all outstanding figures of the younger generation, and they are the existence they look up to, and the duel between the two must be unusual.
The fighting arena in Taixing City has existed for thousands of years, it is a platform one zhang high, thirty zhang long, and twenty zhang wide, the entire fighting arena is built of solid granite, and at the same time, the four corners have the power of ancient spell blessings, which is extremely strong, and there is no need to worry about the energy of the battle will make this place collapse.
Before dawn, someone came here to occupy a position, and at this moment it was already the middle of the day, and the people of the Wu family and the Lin family had not yet appeared, but the surrounding area of the fighting arena had already been surrounded by water.
At this time, two young men of seventeen or eighteen, one cold and one mild, came to the edge of the fighting ring, and after they appeared, everyone on the spot consciously retreated to both sides, giving them a two-meter-wide passage. There are some young children who don't know the identity of these two people, and they ask their brothers and sisters around them, and they know: these two people are Zheng Yucheng of the Zheng family and Wang Mufeng of the Wang family, they were named after Wu Shiyue five years ago, and the three of them were called the three geniuses of Taixing, but they didn't appear for a long time and were ignored by people.
The Wu family, the Zheng family, and the Wang family were able to become the three giants of Taixing City, not only because the strength of the family head was equal, but also because the talents and potentials of their children were also among the best, so a delicate balance was formed. In this generation, there is an outstanding figure Wu Shiyue in the Wu family, a Zheng Yucheng in the Zheng family, and a Wang Mufeng in the Wang family.
Zheng Yucheng and Wang Mufeng have a good relationship, and they were taken out to travel by a mysterious master who came from afar at the same time five years ago.
The two of them walked to the front of the stage with a look of scrutiny or adoration with a calm expression, not the slightest unnatural.
Suddenly, Wang Mufeng, who had always been dressed in white and had a good demeanor, suddenly stopped and greeted a relatively vague shadow in the crowd: "Brother Wu, you are here." ”
"Aren't you here too?" A young man in Tsing Yi in the crowd replied with an unhappy expression, it turned out to be Wu Shiyue. Wu Shiyue has always felt ashamed to see people since the last ambush Lin Haoxue failed miserably, and now he is hidden in the crowd, but he doesn't want to be called by Wang Mufeng, he is a little embarrassed, so he replied angrily.
Zheng Yucheng couldn't help but glance at Wang Mufeng more, and saw Wang Mufeng hand-cranked folding fan, smiling elegantly and charmingly, I have to say that his smile is indeed fascinating, but Zheng Yucheng knows that he is a smiling tiger, he has seen it too many times, and the opponent lost his life in Wang Mufeng's smile like a spring breeze.
After seeing Wu Shiyue appear, the people around him kept talking to each other and exchanging the information they had gotten. Wu Shiyue, Zheng Yucheng and Wang Mufeng, these three people are the most famous geniuses of the younger generation in Taixingcheng. Since five years ago, after King Zheng and Wang went out to practice, they have not appeared at the same time, and now these three people appear at the same time, which naturally caused a lot of uproar.
Wang Mufeng heard the displeasure in Wu Shiyue's tone, just smiled and said no more.
"I haven't seen him for five years, and Brother Zheng's strength has grown a lot. Wu Shiyue didn't pay attention to Wang Mufeng, but asked Zheng Yucheng on the side, because he found that although Wang Mufeng's strength was a little higher than his own, he could still see the depth, but he couldn't see the height of this Zheng Yucheng, and this discovery made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Where, Brother Wu is also hidden. I'm afraid that the Lin family is not qualified to let Brother Wu appear. ”
Zheng Yucheng replied politely, although he only said such a sentence politely, but Wu Shiyue unconsciously remembered his defeat to Lin Haoxue, and said with a pale face, "I won't appear this time." ”
After saying this, he immediately diverted the topic: "I heard that Uncle Zheng is the notary this time, why don't you see him?"
"Since my father has agreed, he will naturally not lose his trust, listening to my father's tone, I attach great importance to this duel," Zheng Yucheng, who was calm and introverted, also smiled slightly, and gestured forward with his eyes, "Ah, isn't that coming?"
Wu Shiyue looked along Zheng Yucheng's gaze, and sure enough, a group of people in front of him were clustered with three figures, walking towards the front of the fighting arena, and those three figures were Wu Haiping, Zheng Shiling, and Wang Xunyuan. With the arrival of these three big figures, the onlookers were even more excited.
I saw that Zheng Shiling and the three of them came to the front of the fighting arena and sat down on a chair, because of the identity of the Zheng Wang and Wu families in Taixing City, and because Zheng Shiling and Wang Xunyuan were notaries, for them to sit in the middle, others naturally did not dare to object.
After sitting down, Zheng Shiling looked at Lin Geng, who had already appeared on the field, and saw that he did not react, and then looked at Wu Haiping, saw that he nodded slightly, glanced at Wang Xunyuan, cleared his throat, and spoke:
"Everyone, the Lin family and the Wu family have grudges, the two of them are willing to compete in this fighting arena, but they have grievances, and the second lady of the Lin family, Lin Haoxue, challenges all the disciples of the younger generation of the Wu family. Now, please invite the people from the Lin family and the Wu family to play. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the audience, everyone stretched their necks to look at the stage, most people don't pay much attention to the merits, they just care about this wonderful showdown.
As soon as Zheng Shiling's words fell, a young man from the Wu family jumped lightly and stepped onto the fighting arena, his posture was fluttering, which naturally attracted a warm applause.
"Wu Shilin?" someone in the audience called out the name of this person, this Wu Shilin is the Great Xuan Master, and he is also one of the leaders of the Wu family's generation, he was very satisfied with the discussion and applause caused by his appearance, and looked around triumphantly.
When he looked around, his face immediately sank. Lin Haoxue, who was trembling and regretting in his imagination, did not appear. Because, there is no shadow of Lin Haoxue around at all. Although Wu Shilin has never seen Lin Haoxue, he has seen Lin Haoxue's portrait, but anyone who has seen Lin Haoxue will not easily forget her appearance.
Now that Lin Haoxue has not appeared, there is no one on stage, and there is no one off the stage, could it be that she slipped away?
