Chapter 540: Celebration

It took a long time for the five of them to reach the edge of the forbidden land, and when they couldn't feel the influence of the wind at all, they all breathed a sigh of relief. I have to say that just coming out of it makes people feel like they are cultivating, and if they walk a few more times, it will naturally be easy to strengthen their bodies.

After walking to the edge, Sister Ling Zixin was afraid of being seen by others, so she separated from Lin Xuanzhong. Fortunately, the people of the Ling family were busy holding celebrations, and few people were in the forbidden land, so on the way back, they didn't meet the people of the Ling family.

After separating from the two women, the three of them rested for a while, and then went inside again according to Lin Xuanzhong's suggestion and found a place to cultivate. It's natural to go back and rest and be happy, but cultivation is more important, and if you improve your strength a little more now, you will have a better chance of surviving on the battlefield in the future. Fang Qing and Ni Youbin both understood this, so when Lin Xuanzhong proposed to go back to the forbidden land to cultivate, neither of them had an opinion.

When the three of them were practicing tirelessly, the Ling Mansion was lively, coming and going, and there were busy figures everywhere. There will be a celebration tomorrow, and the Ling Mansion needs to prepare well.

Those members of the Ling family walked together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, all talking about tomorrow's celebration. After tomorrow, Ling Zihao will surpass Ling Ziyu and Ling Zimo to become the most admired people in their hearts, which is something to be happy about. Another point is that tomorrow the Ling family can drive Lin Xuanzhong and the three of them out, which is also a place to be happy.

By ten o'clock at noon, in the windless city, those families with the highest names had already received invitations from the Ling family, and then they were discussing which clan the Ling family was going to prepare for the celebration party and preparing congratulatory gifts. According to custom, when they come to the Ling family tomorrow to congratulate, they will also bring some outstanding female clansmen over. Show it to the young people of the Ling family, or to the young people of other families.

If there is a mutual interest, the two families can marry, which is a tradition in the Windy City, and of course it is found in many places.

It is worth mentioning that the Ling family not only invited many families in the city, but also specially invited the night army generals to come and watch. The main purpose of the Ling family inviting those generals to come was to let them see Lin Xuanzhong make a fool of himself, once Lin Xuanzhong was defeated, Lin Xuanzhong would not only not be able to stay in the Ling family, but would also lose face in the army, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone for the Ling family.

On the other side, in the Night Army, after receiving the invitation, some of the generals didn't want to bother with it, and some planned to use this matter as a reason for them to report Lin Xuanzhong's dereliction of duty.

To put it bigger, Lin Xuanzhong disregarded his identity and fought with a big son, and humiliated himself outside. Once lost, it will lose the face of the night army, make outsiders question the system of selecting talents for the night army, and embarrass their generals in public. As long as it is slightly modified, it will definitely allow Lin Xuanzhong to be severely punished from above.

The invitation of the Ling family was exactly what Yu Tong wanted, so after receiving the news, Yu Tong immediately contacted those generals who had a deep prejudice against Lin Xuanzhong, and finally many people decided to go to the Ling Mansion to attend the celebration. As for the congratulatory gifts, they only need to prepare them simply, and they will welcome them as many as they give.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and early the next morning, gongs and drums were beaten at the door of Lingfu, as if doing a happy event, filled with a festive atmosphere, some of the people in charge greeted the guests at the door, and the servants came and went to serve tea and water to the guests.

Most of the high-level members of the Ling family were entertaining guests in the mansion, greeting and saying things that were not salty or light. The current visitors are all people from the Winless City, and they know each other a lot.

Those guests, except for one representative of each family, were all young people from each family, mixed men and women. Just like when Lin Xuanzhong competed with others in the hidden city, in case before Ling Zihao and Lin Xuanzhong competed, there were young clansmen from any family who wanted to show their hands, so they just took this opportunity, so those sons and young ladies who came were all sixth-order martial arts cultivators without exception, and excellent children of various families.

After all the guests arrived, Ling Changsheng came out to speak, and it was okay for the Ling family master or the great elder to preside over such a grand event, so the guests were not surprised why they didn't see the Ling family master show up.

According to the normal form, the Great Elder first said which guests he was fortunate to invite to watch the ceremony, and then said who he was presiding over the celebration, at first Ling Changsheng said some clichés, until he talked about a competition between Ling Zihao and Lin Xuanzhong, and those guests became interested. Especially after Ling Changsheng deliberately mentioned Lin Xuanzhong's identity and talked about the five generals who were specially invited, those guests were more interested in the celebration.

Based on the strength of those generals, those family representatives who didn't know Lin Xuanzhong and the people in their clan had already guessed that Lin Xuanzhong was a seventh-order martial cultivator, which could confirm that Ling Zihao's cultivation had reached the seventh order of the martial realm. At the thought that someone in the nineteenth generation of the Ling family had already become a seventh-order martial cultivator, the family representatives were surprised.

At the same time, the young people were even more surprised. If Ling Zihao really broke through to the seventh order of the Martial Realm, then the people among them who had already had a gap with Ling Zihao were now even more out of reach of Ling Zihao, this was something they didn't want to see, but unfortunately the facts were the facts.

After the Great Elder finished speaking, the Ling Mansion became even more lively, and those family representatives, one by one, elder-level figures sat together in twos and threes, constantly discussing what kind of changes Ling Zihao had brought to the Ling family or the Windless City by becoming a seventh-order martial cultivator.

The house is lively, and the same is true outside the house, in the troubled times, the Ling family can still hold such a celebration, naturally attracting attention, many city residents gathered together to discuss the current situation, while discussing the young talents of the major families in the city, who has more, who has one less store, who is developing and growing, and who is declining and weak. Without exception, whenever the Ling family is talked about, there is a lot of praise, and everyone feels that the Ling family is still the Ling family of the past.

In such a chaotic period, the strength of the Ling family was naturally even more awe-inspiring. In any case, for many days, only today has been the most vibrant in the Windy City, but it is still unknown whether it will last long.

Time passed quickly, and not long after Lin Xuanzhong and the three of them returned to the small courtyard to rest after breakfast, a servant of the Ling family came to report and invited Lin Xuanzhong to come over to attend the celebration. Unexpectedly, it had been two days since he was still a little nervous at the beginning, if it weren't for Fang Qing and Ni Youbin, Lin Xuanzhong would have felt that he would have stage fright. After the three of them agreed to go with the servant, Lin Xuanzhong thought of the Ling family master with some worry.

Since the head of the Ling family left that day, he has never appeared again, as if he deliberately wanted to temper Lin Xuanzhong, everything was left to Lin Xuanzhong to face alone. Although Fang Qing and Ni Youbin have been with each other, there are some things that can only be faced by Lin Xuanzhong alone, so he is a little nervous now, but unfortunately there are some things that he can't hide if he wants to.

Not much, the three of them were led to a square area, and the people of the Ling family seemed to be deliberately showing off, deliberately erecting a high platform in the middle, which was very large, obviously used for martial arts. Three of the four prescription seats on the high platform are full of tables and chairs, leaving only one vacant seat as a passage for personnel to enter and exit, and the three prescription seats are full of people, including invited guests, as well as people from the Ling family, one by one, sipping fine wine, drinking fragrant tea, tasting pastries, and eating fruits are very comfortable.

"Everyone, pay attention, General Lin has arrived," it wasn't until someone from the Ling family reminded them that many people stopped their movements and looked at the location of the passage.

In the midst of countless glances, Lin Xuanzhong walked between Fang Qing and Ni Youbin with white hair and a calm expression, walking forward without hurrying or slow. While looking at everything in front of him, he didn't expect that the Ling family not only changed the place of the fight they had agreed with Ling Zihao, but also invited so many guests. When Lin Xuanzhong was surprised, his eyes happened to stop at Tonghe.

After glancing at Yu Tong coldly, he glanced over and saw Zhang Jiutian and the five people next to him. Those five people were all over forty years old, and all of them had a strong aura, and they were obviously all high-level martial cultivators. What puzzled Lin Xuanzhong was that the five people seemed to have come with Yu Tong and Zhang Jiutian, and he had never seen the five people in the army, so what was the identity of the five people.

Thinking about it briefly, Lin Xuanzhong already had a very definite speculation about the identities of the five people, and those five people were all generals. Unexpectedly, the Ling family was so gracious that they even invited some colleagues in the army over, and while he was very surprised, Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about whether the intention of those five people was good or bad.

Not long after, after taking his eyes off those people, Lin Xuanzhong saw the Ling Zixin sisters in the position of the Ling family again, and the faces of the two girls were full of concern, and Lin Xuanzhong's heart warmed when he saw it. After smiling at the two girls, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that there was a familiar face not far from the two girls. That expressionless face made Lin Xuanzhong look stunned, and Lin Xuanzhong was a little surprised that Ling Ziyu was here.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the brilliance of this woman is even more difficult to hide, even if she is expressionless, she compares to all the female clansmen of the Ling family next to her, even the Ling Zixin sisters are no exception, just like a fairy in the world, I don't know how Ling Ziyu would feel if she smiled at herself. While feeling excited in his heart, Lin Xuanzhong thought of Lin Piaoyu, and his emotions eased.

Looking at Ling Ziyu's cold appearance, without paying attention to himself at all, Lin Xuanzhong was embarrassed to look at it twice, shook his head and withdrew his gaze. Unconsciously, he had already walked to the edge of the platform, and in front of him was Ling Changsheng and a high-level member of the Ling family. The Ling family's greeting ceremony was very grand, but they didn't expect to be personally received by Ling Changsheng.

When Lin Xuanzhong was surprised that someone from the Ling family would leave their seats and come over to greet him, Ling Changsheng greeted with a smile on his face, "General Lin, please follow me to take a seat there first." Today is the day of the martial arts competition agreed between my grandson Ling Zihao and General Lin, and I specially invited several generals and two of General Lin's subordinates to come over, hoping that General Lin will not blame the old man for being abrupt. On how to make it public, Ling Changsheng didn't regard Lin Xuanzhong as a junior at all, and directly called Lin Xuanzhong's title to give Lin Xuanzhong face.
