"Then this Shilan girl, where is it in your heart?" The man was amused by Zhao Jinheng's words, raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhao Jinheng pursed his lips, "I had twenty-eight parts of my heart before, but now I have been broken by this girl, and there is no place for her." ”

"It's a lot of crookedness, I'll go back first." The man shook his head, got up and strode out of the inn, heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Before Zhao Jinheng's words could be spoken, the man disappeared into the flow of people.

"Childe, what should we do?" The guard on the side cautiously stepped forward and asked.

"What else can I do? Go home! "Zhao Jinheng doesn't have a good airway, there is no grass at the end of the world, this flower is thorny, just change the place, make way for those who are willing to be stabbed.

……

Shi Lan went upstairs, summoned Wang Ning, and instructed:

"Arrange it, resupply it, and prepare to leave Purple Flame City."

Wang Ning left in response.

Shi Lan sorted out the messy materials, put them together with the map, packed them, and then picked them up and went downstairs.

Wang Ning and the others made supplies, put on armor again, and led the horse to the door of the inn.

Shi Lan turned on his horse and led everyone out of the city slowly.

……

The city lord's mansion, in the middle of the courtyard.

Lin Yusheng was lying on a recliner under the giant tree, holding a book in his hand, looking at it intently.

"Bang-"

The courtyard door was pushed open, and a figure strode up to him.

Lin Yusheng closed the book in his hand, threw it on the table beside him, picked up the teacup, and said in a flat tone: "Fan'er, I remember telling you many times that you should knock on the door before entering the hospital. ”

"My grandson knows what I was wrong." Lin Fan quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Grandpa, I have an intention." ”

"Oh? That's a good thing, girl? Lin Yusheng smiled slightly and took a sip of tea.

"It's the one who came to you yesterday, Shi Lan." Lin Fan said casually.

Lin Yusheng's face changed, and before he could swallow the tea, he choked on his saliva.

"Ahem... Ahem......"

Lin Fan took a step forward, patted Lin Yusheng's back, and said helplessly: "Grandpa, when you are old, drink water more slowly, if you don't catch your breath, it won't be a big deal." ”

With a light cough, Lin Yusheng stroked his chest, evened his breath, and slapped Lin Fan's hand away, "My old bones, it's not so easy to get into trouble, you say it again, who do you like?" ”

"Just the one who came to the house yesterday, Shi Lan, you still told me her name." Lin Fan repeated.

"Nope." Lin Yusheng shook his head and said.

"What's not going to work?" Lin Fan didn't react for a moment.

"You can't have anything to do with this Shi Lan." Lin Yusheng said in a deep voice.

Lin Fan didn't get angry, but asked with some confusion, "Why?" ”

"There's no why, you don't agree."

Hearing this, Lin Fan was a little surprised and said, "Grandpa, do you have Shi Lan's birthday?" ”

Lin Yusheng was choked up by the question, he just said something casually.

Sighing, Lin Yusheng said slowly: "Fan'er, give up this idea, there is no possibility between you and her." ”

Lin Fan was silent for a long time and said, "Grandpa, do you know how old I am this year?" ”

Lin Yusheng was slightly stunned, and subconsciously replied: "There are still two months left, twenty-five." ”

"My father urged me to get married, and I've been urging me to get married for almost eight years, and I haven't been married, just because I haven't met the girl I like, this time I finally have some feelings, if you don't say the reason, let me give up, forgive my grandson for being difficult to obey."

Without waiting for Lin Yusheng to speak, Lin Fan said again: "Let me give up, you must at least give me a reason." ”

Lin Yusheng put down the teacup, stood up, and said earnestly: "Fan'er, your father is the city lord of this Ziyan City, and he is a little thin in this radius of hundreds of miles, but this life has come to this level, as for you, one does not practice literature, the other does not practice martial arts, and you tinker with those strange skills and tricks all day long......"

"That's not called trickery... It's called a trick. Lin Fan corrected.

"Okay, tricks, since you want a reason, then I'll give you a reason, in this Lingyang realm, after all, it is the strength that speaks, with your father's strength, in this acre and three points of land, you can still eat, but if you go to those big places, it will be a little not enough."

"But what does this have to do with Shi Lan?"

"Don't worry, listen to me first." Lin Yusheng waved his hand and said:

"I won't talk about Shi Lan's identity for the time being, just that little girl's talent has left behind the vast majority of people in this world, I dare to assert that if she doesn't die halfway, this little girl will surpass your father in strength within five years."

Lin Fan's complexion changed slightly, and he subconsciously tightened his fingers.

Looking at the look on Lin Fan's face, Lin Yusheng sighed: "Now do you understand, you and that little girl are not on the same line, this is still stripped of her identity and background and all other conditions, you are not equal at all." ”

Lin Fan let out a long breath and said, "Grandpa, do you know Shi Lan's identity and background?" ”

Lin Yusheng shook his head, "I don't know her specific background, but just because of the identity of the Demon Suppression Army, you are destined to become impossible to become a person all the way." ”

"Demon Suppression Army......" Lin Fan muttered.

"You haven't dealt with the Demon Army, you don't understand what kind of people they are, they are a group of madmen who are ten times more murderous than the outlaws, from the generals to the ordinary sergeants, all of them are madmen who are not afraid of death!"

Lin Yusheng's expression became a little serious, "Fan'er, the woman in the demon suppression army, that's not something that ordinary people can bear, take care of it." ”

"Grandpa, I... Understood......" Lin Fan muttered, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Looking at Lin Fan's departing back, Lin Yusheng sighed, "Come out." ”

A middle-aged man in a green shirt walked into the courtyard and arched his hand with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Father." ”

Glancing at the man, Lin Yusheng sighed again, "When I asked you to study, you didn't want to, you had to practice martial arts, so now you can't do martial arts, so you can only stay in this rural place and be a hero." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Father, if I had been studying with you back then, I am afraid that I would not have cultivated Haoran Qi now." ”

Lin Yusheng snorted coldly, "Rotten wood can't be carved!" One or two don't worry, I don't bother to care about you, your precious son, you discipline yourself, I'll go back to the academy, you can do it yourself! ”

"Father walks slowly." The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said respectfully.

Lin Yusheng waved his hand expressionlessly, and the table under the tree disappeared in an instant, and then there was a hidden wind under his feet, and his figure soared upwards and walked away.

After Lin Yusheng left, the leaves of the huge tree in the courtyard that were as green as a cover instantly withered and yellowed, falling down, and after half a moment, only the bare branches remained.

Looking at the thick layer of fallen leaves in the courtyard, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly, shook his robe lightly, and a gust of wind swept through, and the courtyard was clean.

"Everything goes according to the arranged trajectory, what is the meaning of that person's life." The middle-aged man muttered, turned around and left the courtyard.
