Chapter 5: Broken (Asking for Flowers)

A voice slowly came into Xue Lin's ears. "Lin'er, you really disappointed me!" After a long time, it was only after Xiao Tong withdrew his Yuan Force that he said slowly, and the gentleness in Xue Lin's memory was also lost in his voice.

Back then, when Xue Lin first met Xiao Tong when he was eight years old, Xiao Tong's attitude was extremely kind, and he treated Xue Lin like a close relative. But now, time has passed, and he has become a waste, a waster with no future and no use value, and everyone's attitude towards themselves has also changed openly. At this time, Xue Lin was deeply touched by the sadness of the birds hiding their bows and the rabbits and dead dogs.

Xue Lin stared at Xiao Tong silently, without saying a word, it was in vain to say anything at this time, it was better to wait quietly for his fate.

"Come on, take back Xue Lin's Yang Huo Order, take him to the outer city, and he will not be allowed to step into the inner city in the future!" After a long time, Xiao Tong finally made his own decision, waved his sleeves, and left the room, without saying a word.

And Xue Lin, too, left the inner city of the Xiao family, where he had lived for fourteen years.

Huoxiao City, with a population of one million, is the most prosperous city in the northwest of the Ming Kingdom, and is also the main road of north-south traffic, and has always enjoyed the reputation of the Quartet Tongxue, in addition to the capital of the Ming Kingdom, it is the most prosperous city. The entire Huoxiao City is divided into two cities, the inner city is considered a city within a city, occupying one-fifth of the land of the entire Huoxiao City, and only the people of the Xiao family are qualified to live here. The outer city, on the other hand, is inhabited by ordinary residents.

Walking out of the inner city and looking at the high city wall behind him, Xue Lin felt bitter in his heart. When he was at his most energetic, he planned to get the permission of his family after the assessment at the age of fourteen and go out for training in a dignified manner. But he didn't expect that his goal back then was achieved, but in a different way, and he was permanently expelled from the house. The so-called world makes people, presumably nothing more than that.

With a smile, Xue Lin took a step forward and walked forward firmly. Since he didn't have the opportunity to stay and continue to cultivate Yuan Li, he could only work hard for the next new life.

Although Xue Lin was expelled by the family, he also received the last severance pay left by the family, one hundred gold coins. For the sake of the family, no matter how bad Xue Lin is, he can still take this money, start a small business, eat with his mouth, and stay in the outer city of Huoxiao City to spend his life in a mess.

Since it was the first time he walked out of the inner city, everything was new to Xue Lin, but at this time, Xue Lin did not have the slightest interest in these, but walked quietly on the noisy street, enjoying the hustle and bustle around him.

It is not a luxurious house, a street, and an ordinary person without Yuan Li, but it is full of reality, giving Xue Lin a feeling of comfort and comfort, which Xue Lin has not experienced in the past fourteen years.

The huge outer city was beyond Xue Lin's expectations, and it wasn't until night fell that Xue Lin found the place where the family had arranged for him, a dilapidated stone tile house.

Looking at the houses around him, Xue Lin only had a wry smile in his heart, such conditions were simply different from the inner city, and there was no comparable surname at all.

"Hey, are you new here?" Just as Xue Lin sighed, a childish voice came from behind him.

Xue Lin turned around slowly, only to see a child looking at himself with big eyes, Xue Lin smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Yes, I'm new here." ”

When the child heard this, he was instantly overjoyed, pulled out his calf and ran towards the next room, shouting in his mouth, "Daddy, grandpa, we finally have neighbors." ”

With the child's shout, a middle-aged man slowly walked out of the next room, and at a glance he knew that it was the child's father.

The man looked at his baby son dotingly, lifted the child up with a big hand, put it on his shoulder, looked at Xue Lin standing in the middle of the road from a distance, showed a sincere smile, and said loudly, "You just moved here, right? Your house has been idle for a long time, I'm afraid you need to tidy up before you can move in, and it's too late today." ”

Xue Lin smiled, showing a helpless smile on the room, looking at the honest man, Xue Lin also had a good impression in his heart, here is to be more humane than the family.

In the Xiao family before, Xue Lin had always been a loner, and he was a stranger to the people in the family, although this was somewhat related to Xue Lin's lack of family warmth since he was a child, but most of the reason was because the people in the family were mercenary.

The man walked up to Xue Lin, stretched out his sturdy right hand without hesitation, and greeted Xue Lin, "Hello, my name is Da Niu, you can call me Da Niu." This is my son, Maverick. We'll be neighbors from now on. With Dahan's introduction, the child on Dahan's shoulder also greeted Xue Lin with a smile.

Xue Lin looked at the sincerity on the faces of the father and son, and unconsciously stretched out his hand, this was the first time Xue Lin had formally dealt with people, feeling the sense of sufficiency brought by holding hands, Xue Lin also felt relaxed physically and mentally.

At the eager invitation of Da Niu's father and son, Xue Lin was also taken back to his home by the two.

Da Niu has a family of four, in addition to his wife and son, there is also an elderly father. A dinner, although the food is not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, but it is full of warmth.

The night was quiet, feeling the breeze blowing on his face, but Xue Lin's heart was unusually peaceful. Tonight is like last night, full of stars, but the difference is that I am in two places, and my mood is different.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Xue Lin slowly turned around and looked at the old man who came over, Da Niu's father, with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Niu, thanks to the care of your family, Xue Lin is grateful. Xue Lin thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Uncle Niu waved his hand, a smile appeared on his old face, he looked at Xue Lin meaningfully, and said, "Lin'er, are you surnamed Xue? It is a child of a foreign race、、、 fourteen years old this year, he was expelled from the inner city by the Xiao family and placed here!"

Xue Lin was shocked, and looked at Uncle Niu in disbelief, he hadn't talked about his origin when he came here, but who knew that the old man in front of him actually knew.

Looking at the doubts and vigilance in Xue Lin's eyes, Uncle Niu coughed helplessly and sighed, "Lin'er, don't feel strange, in fact, I know these things about you because I used to be surnamed Xiao!"

"What! You are also surnamed Xiao?" Xue Lin was stunned, and he had already guessed the whole story of the matter in a flash, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Niu, are you also ...... back then?"

Uncle Niu nodded, affirmed the guess in Xue Lin's heart, slowly walked to Xue Lin's side, looked in the direction of the inner city with a pair of cloudy eyes, shook his head and sighed, "Although the Xiao family is rich in clothes and food, it lacks human affection, and it is not as leisurely as this simple world." When I was expelled from the Xiao family, I was also unwilling and unwilling. But then I gradually got used to the life in this outer city, and I suddenly realized that I used to be too famous and rich. Lin'er, you are a child with a very high surname, you should understand what I mean. ”

"Thank you Uncle Niu for your teachings, Lin'er understands. From the moment you step out of the inner city, let the past pass away with the wind. Xue Lin smiled tactfully and replied humbly.

Uncle Niu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's late, you can rest early, tomorrow I will let Da Niu take you around this outer city, you just came, you are not familiar with life, you need to see it well." ”

Xue Lin was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and asked unconsciously, "Uncle Niu, do they know about your identity, why don't you teach them to cultivate Yuan Force?"

Uncle Niu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "They just need to live a normal life, although cultivating Yuan Li is everyone's dream, it is not suitable for everyone." After speaking, Uncle Niu took a step, turned around and walked towards the house, and when he walked to the door, he stopped hesitantly, turned around slowly, and said to Xue Lin in the courtyard, "Lin'er, the family originally arranged for you to join the family's industry, but I know you don't want to, so, let it be, maybe young people should have the vigor of young people." ”

The cold night wind hit people, but Xue Lin didn't feel a trace of chill, and continued to stand quietly in the courtyard, breathing the touch of humanity in the air, recalling Uncle Niu's last words.

Yes, I really wouldn't be willing to live such a peaceful life, after all, within the huge walls of the inner city, there is still my mother......

In Xiao Tong's study in the inner city, an old man sat in the guest seat, looking at Xiao Tong sitting in the main seat in a very unhappy mood, and finally couldn't help but say after a long time, "Family master, you let Xue Lin leave the family like this? The reason why he didn't cultivate the Yang Fire Yuan Power must be the reason why this evil seed has the foundation of infant water!"

Xiao Tong looked at the worried old man, his face was extremely stiff, and he said coldly, "Great Elder, please be careful, I have already checked the Yuan Force in his body during the day today, and it is the Yang Fire Yuan Power is good, and there is no trace of the base of the Infant Water at all!"

The old man was stunned, "Then he really didn't condense Yuanying because of his qualifications?"

Xiao Tong nodded and said, "Yes, I guess he used some method to pull out the seedlings and help them grow, and he quickly increased his Yuan Force, so he couldn't break through." ”

"I see!" the old man said slowly, but there was still a trace of worry on his face, "Master of the family, why don't you also lock him up and confine, if he does something wrong, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"

Xiao Tong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, he doesn't know his life experience, for so many years, although I asked him to visit Xiao Xuan'er, Xiao Xuan'er didn't say a word to him." ”

The Great Elder was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect this to be the case, so he pondered for a moment before he said slowly, "Since this is the case, then everything is up to the head of the family." ”

Xiao Tong nodded and said, "Great Elder, the matter about Xue Lin has been revealed here, as long as he doesn't leave Huo Xiao City and there are no accidents, it will be enough for us." As long as this kid doesn't have the leisure of Brother to do things that are not good for our Xiao family. As for his mother, there will be an accountable future. That's it!"
