Chapter 42
Putting aside the situation on Lin Canghai's side, on the Lin family's side of the elders, everyone who was originally skeptical about Lin Xuanzhong's strength now had the idea of being ashamed, because none of the many elders could cultivate the Eight Desolation Steps to such an extent, and judging from Lin Xuanzhong's performance, it would not be long before Lin Xuanzhong's strength would surpass many of them.
When many people kept changing their evaluation of Lin Xuanzhong, Lin Wuwu also gave his own evaluation, "If the teacher knows that my brother still has such attainments in footwork, I am afraid that the teacher will accept my brother as an apprentice on the spot." Thinking of Lin Wuwu, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he became more and more optimistic about Lin Xuanzhong.
Lin Piaoyu on the side was in an indescribable mood at this time, just looked at the cyan figure in a daze, and kept thinking about whether it was a brother who had always been good to him.
Under countless surprised gazes, Lin Xuanzhong's movements became more and more proficient, and now it was not difficult to take five steps in a row.
On the other side, Lin Guangyao smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that the four steps and eight desolations that he had finally displayed would become a stepping stone for Lin Xuanzhong to hone his footwork. In the case that there was no progress in his footwork, looking at Lin Xuanzhong's more and more agile figure, and after continuing to hold on for a period of time, Lin Guangyao, who was already helpless, simply chose to admit defeat. "Xuan Zhong, I'm not fighting. As he spoke, Lin Guangyao didn't forget to take a few steps back carefully.
At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong, who had been intoxicated, suddenly woke up, looked at Lin Guangyao with a wry smile on his face and stopped his movements with some embarrassment. "Thank you brother for agreeing," After a moment of silence, Lin Xuanzhong said humbly to Lin Guangyao with gratitude, of course, Lin Xuanzhong felt that his gratitude to Lin Guangyao was far from enough.
"You're welcome, it's a blessing for the Lin family to be able to produce a genius like you, I hope you can lead the Lin family to become strong in the future, regardless of your past suspicions. In the face of Lin Xuanzhong's gratitude, Lin Guangyao didn't care too much, but expressed more far-reaching thoughts.
It's just that for Lin Guangyao's "regardless of past suspicions", Lin Xuanzhong can't do it at the moment. "Brother doesn't need to say much, Xuan Zhong has his own plans. ”
Lin Guangyao could understand Lin Xuanzhong's emotions, and when he saw Lin Xuanzhong answer like this, he was a little disappointed, but he was not reluctant, but said to Lin Xuanzhong with a smile: "Xuanzhong, I hope I can fight side by side with you tonight." "Lin Guangyao has been present all the time to discuss the evacuation before, so he can say such things that surprised Lin Xuanzhong a little now.
When Lin Xuanzhong reacted, he just nodded firmly, "Definitely." "The two outstanding geniuses of the Lin family have reached an agreement at this moment.
After the two agreed to fight side by side at night, Lin Fangqing reacted from the shock just now, and there was still an excited look on his face, and now he was walking towards Lin Xuanzhong in the center of the martial arts platform, but his steps were not as steady as usual.
Lin Fang was more than half a hundred, his hair was half black and half white, and when he walked in front of Lin Xuanzhong. Looking at Lin Xuanzhong's indifferent expression, Lin Fangqing was speechless for a long time.
It wasn't until Lin Xuanzhong looked at the Great Elder that Lin Fangqing sobered up a little. This is the end of today's name correction ceremony, and Lin Xuanzhong won. "Despite having the strength of the sixth order of Dou Qi and a strong body, the Great Elder's voice still seemed trembling at this moment, giving people a feeling of weakness.
Originally, at the end of the competition between Lin Xuanzhong and Lin Guangyao, if Lin Xuanzhong performed well, the Lin family also planned to arrange for the juniors of other families to challenge Lin Xuanzhong, but at this moment, the Great Elder no longer needed to mention this matter. Because of Lin Xuanzhong's strength, no one in the younger generation dares to take the initiative to challenge.
For Lin Xuanzhong, in fact, the competition with Lin Guangyao was just the beginning, and now that his mood has calmed down, Lin Xuanzhong's mind is quickly focused on the things of the evening. Now that it is almost evening, the Lin family's banquet should have been almost prepared, and now the guests can be invited to the banquet.
The dinner lasted a few hours, and yesterday's plan was clearly half the battle. Thinking like this in his heart, his expression perked up, and he put away his long sword, Lin Xuanzhong glanced at all the people around him, and finally his gaze stopped at Lin Fangqing.
"Today's name correction ceremony has ended, and all the family heads and VIPs are invited to participate in the banquet prepared by the Lin family. At the same time, Lin Fangqing's voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Canghai directly got up and invited those family owners and VIPs to sit down. Then the heads of the family got up one after another, and followed Lin Canghai to the place where the Lin family held a banquet.
At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong on the martial arts stage had already walked to Qinglan's side. It's just that they haven't said a word to Qinglan yet, but many young geniuses from other families have come over at some point, some are here to make amends, some are here to make friends, men and women are geniuses like Lin You and Li Shuo. As for those ordinary Lin family members, they could only stand on the sidelines of the martial arts arena and watch, and now they didn't have their part to talk to Lin Xuanzhong.
For the children of the major families who suddenly arrived, Lin Xuanzhong's face was helpless to deal with it, after all, Lin Xuanzhong had no holiday with many of them.
Time passed little by little, and when all the young children of the family could say a word to Lin Xuanzhong, an elder of the Lin family came over and informed everyone to come over to attend the dinner. In this way, Lin Xuanzhong can finally leave.
After leaving the crowd, in a blink of an eye, only the Qinglan five people were left next to Lin Xuanzhong. "Piaoyu, you take them with worry-free and Qinglan to find a place to eat, and I'll go to the top of the Lin family to have a look. After saying goodbye to a few people, Lin Xuanzhong walked towards the center of the banquet with a calm expression. As the protagonist of today's naming ceremony, it is necessary for Lin Xuanzhong to appear in front of those family heads and VIPs.
After Lin Xuanzhong left, those young children gradually dispersed, and groups of three or five kept discussing the competition between Lin Xuanzhong and Lin Guangyao just now. Today is different from the past, when it comes to Lin Xuanzhong, every child of the Lin family does not dare to use an disrespectful tone. For the entire Lin family, today is destined to be an extraordinary day.
The dinner went on in its normal order and lasted until an hour and a half later. After seeing off those family heads and VIPs, Lin Xuanzhong returned to his residence alone. And Lin Wuwu and the others were also waiting for Lin Xuanzhong to come back.
"Brother, I didn't bring many people this time, so I can only try to help your Lin family a little. Seeing Lin Xuanzhong coming back, Lin Wuwu said slowly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Wuwu came back, he mentioned the events of the evening, and Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help frowning. Thinking about it, there are indeed not many people brought by Lin Wuwu, and they are all people who are used to protect Lin Wuwu. Now it is the Lin family's business for the three alliances to eradicate the Lin family, so Lin Xuanzhong doesn't want Lin Wuwu to get involved too much. So, coming back to his senses, Lin Xuanzhong said directly to Lin Wuwu: "Tonight's evacuation is the Lin family's business, and you and those subordinates don't need to participate in the battle at that time, just protect Qinglan and them." If the Lin family fails to get out of the city smoothly, you have to leave with them far away. ”
Having said that, although according to Lin Xuanzhong's plan, if everything goes well, the Lin family has a good chance of successfully evacuating, but Lin Xuanzhong always has a feeling of lack of confidence when he speaks. Thinking about it carefully, the more Lin Xuanzhong felt a little uneasy in his heart, but Lin Xuanzhong couldn't think of what it was.
"Childe, why don't you come with us?" While Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about the problem, Lin Feng on the side suddenly spoke. As a result, when Lin Feng said this, Qinglan and Wan'er obviously had some anticipation on their faces, only Lin Piaoyu and Lin Wuwu's faces were quite calm. For a long time, Lin Piaoyu felt that Lin Xuanzhong did not owe anything to the Lin family, let alone be responsible for the people of the Lin family. And in his heart, Lin Piaoyu actually hoped that Lin Xuanzhong would leave, after all, Qinglan would need someone to take care of him in the future.
When Lin Piaoyu was thinking about Lin Xuanzhong, Lin Xuanzhong glanced at everyone and saw that several people were by his side, and his face was more relaxed. "Actually, you don't have to worry, if the Lin family's evacuation fails, I will naturally use all my strength to fight my way out of the encirclement and join you when the time comes. After briefly comforting the Qinglan master and servant, Lin Xuanzhong thought about the evening again.
It is estimated that the Lin family has been well prepared, and now they can evacuate as long as they wait for the notice of the head of the family. However, Qinglan and they had to leave early, thinking in his heart, Lin Xuanzhong opened his mouth and said to Lin Wuwu again: "Wuwu, you take Qinglan and them out of the back door first." ”
"Brother, take care", nodding at Lin Xuanzhong, Lin Wuwu was already ready to leave.
"In that case, Xuan Zhong, you must protect yourself in the city, and I will wait outside for you to come back. "As before, when faced with danger, Qinglan, a woman with a weak appearance, will always show a strong side. Now seeing that Lin Xuanzhong has made up his mind, in order not to increase the burden on Lin Xuanzhong's heart, Qinglan did not show too much worry.
Over the years, the two have experienced a lot of ups and downs because of their respective identities, and now the situation has just improved, but they have to face greater challenges, to be honest, Lin Xuanzhong and Bai Qinglan are really not easy to live. However, whether it was Lin Xuanzhong or Bai Qinglan, when the crisis came, the two did not choose to retreat, but became stronger and stronger.
Now Bai Qinglan is just expressing his inner expectations in simple words, although it will make Lin Xuanzhong's burden heavier, but it will also make Lin Xuanzhong become free. Holding Bai Qinglan's hands, Lin Xuanzhong said with a tender gaze for the first time: "Lan'er, no matter what the result is, as long as I am here, you don't have to be afraid." As he spoke, Lin Xuanzhong's tone suddenly became firm.
During the conversation between the two, the others just watched in silence.
