More than two years later.

An early morning in Suining Town.

It is the early spring season, only to see the distant mountains such as Dai, a few streams murmuring, the mist in the forest, the warbler flying grass on the ground grows, the flowers are red and willow green, there are bees and butterflies dancing everywhere, a vibrant scene.

On a small road leading to Linjiazhuang, a thin and slender figure was walking slowly.

I saw him wearing a bamboo hat on his head and a brown shortshirt and shorts. With straw sandals, a bamboo basket in his hand, a bamboo fishing rod on his shoulder, and an unknown grass stalk in his mouth, he seems to be swimming freely.

At this time, the man looked at the distant village, looked up at the sky, grinned, and said to himself, "It's almost there, maybe I can go back and make a delicious fish soup." ”

He was about twelve years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were bright. The bridge of the nose is high, the lines are straight down like a knife, the upper lip is slightly thinner, and the lower lip is slightly thicker. Although the young face is not childish, it is unusually white and handsome.

When the corners of his mouth are lightly raised, two rows of neat white teeth are revealed, and the refreshing and pure sunny smile will be particularly eye-catching......

At the same time, Lin Jiazhuang, the Lin family is holding an annual martial arts competition within the clan.

"Bang!"

There was a dull loud thud, and a thin body was knocked out of the ring like a rag bag.

"Hmph, Lin Dong, you waste! It's been three years, and your cultivation has not advanced an inch, which is simply a waste of family resources. If I were you, I would have found a wall and killed me, so as not to be embarrassed. Haha......"

The thin body struggled to get up from the ground, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in the ring who was wantonly laughing at him, his eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness.

"Lin Jin, you bastard, you wait, one day I will take revenge. Why, why, scum like him has surpassed me, and he is already at the end of the Spirit Gathering Realm. And I, who have been known as a genius since I was a child, had spiritual consciousness at the age of five, the early stage of spiritual gathering at the age of seven, and the late stage of spiritual gathering at the age of nine, but I have not been able to break through the spiritual gathering into spirituality for more than three and a half years. Now, if I hadn't been cultivating hard day and night, my cultivation might even have regressed. Why, why, God, why are you fooling me Lin Dong so much?"

Lin Dong roared in his heart, but the cruel reality made him helpless and silent.

At this moment, a beautiful girl dressed in pink clothes at the age of eleven or twelve hurriedly ran over.

While helping Lin Dong up, she asked anxiously, "Brother Lin Dong, how are you hurt?"

Lin Dong glanced at the girl, and saw that her white jade flawless face was full of concern and worry, and his heart was warm and uncomfortable. I saw that he barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and comforted him softly: "Ying'er, I'm fine, it's just a little flesh injury." ”

When the young man in the ring saw this, his eyes showed a look of jealousy, and he snorted coldly and said, "Lin Dong, a waste like you only deserves to hide in a woman's arms and cry." I advise you to recognize the reality as soon as possible and honestly go to the family market to learn and do business, which can be regarded as waste utilization and find your own way out. ”

"That's enough, Lin Jin. Brother Lin Dong is injured like this, and you are still sneering at him, don't you have a little clan affection?"

"Ying'er, it's not that I don't miss the love of the clan. I'm trying to get him to sober up and face reality. Lin Jin was expressionless and said to her coldly.

As he spoke, he peeked at her, intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that she was defending Lin Dong, and he became more and more jealous of Lin Dong in his heart. Because I don't want to be seen by her. Lin Jin quickly looked aside, looking up at the sky, looking high and ignoring.

The girl in pink didn't believe his words at all, and said to Lin Jin: "Hmph, you hurt Brother Lin Dong like this, I'm afraid you have ulterior motives, right?"

Lin Jin's face changed slightly, thinking that she had seen something, and was a little flustered.

However, he quickly calmed down. He straightened his face, his expression was cold, he stared at her fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Yun Ying'er! You don't want to talk nonsense, why do I have ulterior motives? You have ulterior motives, right? This is a matter within our Lin family, when will it be your turn to be an outsider?"

Yun Ying'er couldn't help but blush with anger when he drank like this, and was about to continue arguing with Lin Jin. I saw Lin Dong on the side shaking his head at her and stopped her.

At this time, Lin Dong coughed a few times, stroked his chest and said weakly while panting: "Count...... Forget it, Ying'er, this is indeed our Lin family's business, so don't get involved. Will you help me back?"

"I ...... Okay, I'll help you go back to Brother Dong. Yun Ying'er originally wanted to argue with Lin Jin, but when she heard Lin Dong say this, she had to put out her thoughts unwillingly, and helped Lin Dong to leave the competition scene.

Lin Jin watched the two leave, secretly clenched his fists, and there was a touch of ruthlessness and viciousness in his eyes.

Along the way, Lin Dong was silent, and Yun Ying'er, who was holding him, wanted to comfort him several times, but she wanted to say nothing and stopped. Because she has said countless comforting words to Lin Dong in the past three years, she doesn't know what to say now.

Yun Ying'er hesitated, feeling that she had better comfort and comfort the other party, this was the only thing she could do.

"Brother Lin Dong......" As soon as she spoke, Lin Dong immediately waved his hand, shook his head with a wry smile and stopped her.

He said, "Ying'er, I know what you want to say, but you don't need to comfort me. Reality is reality, fate should be like this, no matter how hard I try, it will still be the same result. In fact, Lin Jin is right, I really should have recognized the reality as soon as possible and honestly went to the family caravan to learn business. ”

Yun Ying'er listened, and although she knew that he was right, she still couldn't help but ask: "But Brother Lin Dong, you have such a high talent for martial arts, isn't it a waste to really go into business? Didn't you say that you wouldn't give up? Then why did you give up now?"

Lin Dong looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and said with a bitter expression: "Ying'er, haven't you noticed that I have fallen to the early stage of the Spirit Gathering now? My cultivation is now regressing more and more, and after tonight, I may not even be able to maintain the Spirit Gathering." ”

Yun Ying'er was taken aback when she heard this, she hurriedly grabbed Lin Dong's wrist and checked his pulse, and said anxiously: "What? How can this be? Brother Lin Dong, let's go to my father now, let my father think of a way." ”

"It's useless, Uncle Yun treated me a month ago, and he told me a long time ago that there would be such a situation, and I didn't want to believe it. But this is fate. Lin Dong said with a wry smile, with a little crystal in his eyes, full of despair and helplessness.

"How can this be?" Brother Lin Dong ......" Yun Ying'er's eyes immediately turned red, and she said a little choked, "Brother Lin Dong, don't be sad, let's think of a way, there will definitely be a way." Although my father is a skilled doctor, there are doctors out there who are more skilled than my father. Just because my dad can't cure you doesn't mean that other doctors can't cure you. It's a big deal, let's go outside and find another doctor to treat it. There is no endless road, Brother Lin Dong, don't give up, you still have hope. ”

"Okay Ying'er, I've figured it out, doing business may not be a good way out. Lin Dong shook his head, sighed, and said to her seriously, "Even if there are more intelligent doctors, it is not something that our small Lin family can afford to hire. A five-star doctor like your father, if he hadn't had a relationship with my father, he would never treat me. If I can go into business and make a lot of money, then there may be a little hope of hiring a more senior doctor. ”

"Brother Lin Dong, do you really think so?" Yun Ying'er asked, and then said seriously, "No matter what, Ying'er will support you." If you make a lot of money, I'll go and beg my father to find you the best doctor in his face. ”

"Thank you, Ying'er!" Lin Dong said, "I'll work hard to make money." In fact, it's good to be a businessman, at least you don't need to fight and kill so much. ”

"Well, being a businessman doesn't need to fight and kill, and it's good to live a peaceful life. Yun Ying'er wiped the sparkle in her eyes with her hand, nodded, and said with a smile, "Then Brother Lin Dong, you have to promise me that in the future, when you go south and north in business and travel all over the Tianyuan Continent, you must take Ying'er with you." Ying'er also wants to see the customs and culture of various places, and experience herself by the way. ”

Lin Dong's heart was warm, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Yun Ying'er smiled playfully, stretched out the little finger of her right hand, winked at Lin Dong and said, "Pull the hook and hang yourself, you can't change it for a hundred years." Whoever changes is a puppy!"

Lin Dong smiled helplessly when he saw this, and also stretched out his little finger, and just as the fingers of the two were about to touch, a stone suddenly flew and hit Lin Dong's palm accurately.

"Ouch, hiss-"

Lin Dong screamed in pain, grabbed his swollen palm, and looked angrily in the direction where the stone was coming.

I saw a young man in white who was about the same age as him standing in front of him, followed by five or six companions, and a group of people happened to block Lin Dong's way.

"Lin Xiao, you bastard!"

Seeing the visitor, Lin Dong's eyes were immediately filled with anger, and the whole person was overwhelmed by hatred.

It was this person who made him humiliated and rejected by the entire Suining Lin family. Just because the other party is a branch of the Lin family in the capital of Yunxia Kingdom, he is the son of the patriarch of the Lin clan and the future son of the sect. Even his father, Lin Qian, didn't dare to stand up for him, and even when he saw this person, he had to whisper and call the other party, "Young clan master." ”

Lin Xiao is gifted, his bones are amazing, and he is a once-in-a-century martial arts wizard.

When he was only five years old, he was favored by the Feiyun Sect, a famous martial arts cultivator in the Yunxia Kingdom, and was accepted as an official disciple by an exception, worshipping under a clan elder of the Feiyun Sect and practicing with him.

Now eight years have passed, Lin Xiao has broken through the spiritual gathering realm, stepped into the early stage of the spiritual realm, and won the seventh place in the "Youth Heroes Competition" in Yunxia Kingdom last year, known as the "Yunjing Four Heroes", famous in Kyoto!

Today's Suining Lin clan is a branch of the Lin clan in the capital, although Lin Dong's father is the head of the Suining Lin clan, his status is still a step behind Lin Xiao.

In addition, because the Suining Lin clan has not cultivated relatively good martial arts training talents in recent years, the sect branch began to gradually become dissatisfied, and has not sent anyone to notify the Suining Lin clan to participate in the Lin family sacrifice for three years, and it seems that the Suining Lin clan has been excluded intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, Lin Dong can be regarded as a once-in-a-millennium martial arts wizard.

It's a pity that three years ago, there was a physical problem, and instead of making an inch, his cultivation has not progressed an inch, but has regressed day by day.

Otherwise, with Lin Dong's qualifications and diligence, he might be able to catch up with Lin Xiao and be on a par with him.
