"Auntie, don't worry. Lin Xi will never worry you like before."
Lin Xicheng said sincerely.
"Xier, it seems that you have really grown up."
Lin Ruyun showed a happy smile.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Lin Xi finally said:
"Auntie, do you have anything else to say to me?"
He had long noticed that Lin Ruyun looked worried and full of things on his mind when he came out of the headmaster's hall. Logically speaking, if Lin Xi defeated Meng Jun, Lin Ruyun should be happy and happy.
But in fact, the worry deep in Lin Ruyun's eyes has not diminished much.
Lin Xi still didn't know that she had something on her mind.
As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, she saw Lin Ruyun's body trembled, with a surprised look on her face. It was obvious that Lin Xi had hit her mark.
"Xier..., although you defeated Meng Jun this time, you should not be careless."
Lin Ruyun hesitated for a moment and finally decided to speak out:
"In five months, you will be eighteen. At that time, I'm afraid Meng Jun and the others will take advantage of this opportunity to target you again!"
Lin Guoyun could not hide the sadness between her brows.
"Um?"
Lin Xi frowned and said in surprise: "What's wrong with being eighteen? Am I still afraid that they won't be able to deal with me then?"
Lin Ruyun shook her head:
"No. Xi'er, you may not know yet. Our Five Thunder Sect has another rule for the young master who inherits the power of the sect. That is, if the young master of the sect has not made a breakthrough when he is eighteen years old,
If you reach the sixth level of the Divine Realm, you will be considered as not having the qualifications and talents to succeed as a master, and you will be directly deprived of your status as a young master."
"This rule was made by your grandfather. The purpose is to select geniuses from the descendants, so as to prevent the head of the family from falling into the hands of mediocrity. Your martial arts has been neglected for six years, and these six years have been wasted. You
Although you defeated Wang Yuehe at the fifth level when you were in the Council of Elders, your realm is still only at the third level of body tempering. There is still a gap of three realms between you and the sixth level of divine movement.
.And this rule of our sect only recognizes realm, not strength!"
Lin Guyun no longer concealed the worries in his heart.
"What? There is such a rule!"
Lin Xi was shocked, as if she had been struck by lightning, and was stunned.
This was the first time he heard this rule.
"Well, this is why I have been worried. You are still in the third level of body tempering stage. You must cross three levels in a row to reach the sixth level of divine power. To achieve this step, we
It takes at least five years for the core disciples of the Five Thunder Sect; it took me four years; it took your father three years; and even the great elder of the Dragon Power Realm took two and a half years!"
Lin Ruyun sighed:
"If there is enough time, with your genius, of course my aunt will not worry, but now, there are only five months left for you!..."
After hearing these words, Lin Xi's heart sank to the bottom of the water.
Even the Great Elder, who is known as the top master of the Five Thunder Sect and is strong enough to fight a giant dragon, needs two and a half years. But Lin Xi only has five months!
What can be done in five months? Even for the proud men of many sects, reaching the fourth level of Iron Bone Realm is already considered pretty good. Let alone the sixth level of Divine Movement Realm!
Reaching the sixth level of divine movement before the age of eighteen is difficult, but it is definitely not impossible. However, Lin Xi's wasted time in the previous six years became his fatal blow!
Even the arrogant and arrogant martial arts genius would not dare to say such wild words. He could go from the third level of body tempering stage to the sixth level of divine movement in just five months!
Lin Xi felt the heavy weight.
A huge gap stretched in front of him.
This news is so unexpected!
However, although the gap was huge, Lin Xi had no idea of retreating.
"Aunt, you don't have to worry. This goal may be an impossible task for others. But it may not be for me. - Aunt, you have forgotten. Although I only have the cultivation level of the body tempering stage, I am not
I also defeated Wang Yuehe in the fifth level. At that time, no one thought that I was destined to lose. Since I can do things that others cannot do, I will definitely be able to accomplish this!"
Lin Xi laughed and stretched his long eyebrows. Although the challenge was huge, it successfully aroused his fighting spirit.
"This... is what I said. Under the circumstances at that time, I'm afraid even the Great Elder wouldn't be able to do it. - Maybe, Xi'er, you really can do it."
Lin Guoyun was also infected by Lin Xi's strong confidence. Thinking of the challenge that took place in the master's hall, he suddenly felt that this matter might not be impossible for Lin Xi:
"You little guy, tell aunt, how on earth did you do it?"
Lin Xi used an internal punch to penetrate Wang Yuehe's tough skin and injure his internal organs. This scene obviously left a deep impression on the hearts of all the elders of the Five Thunder Sect. They were almost knocked over.
Their understanding of martial arts.
The same is obviously true for Lin Ruyun.
"This is a secret. Auntie, what do you think?"
Of course, Lin Xi will not tell the secret of his inner martial arts. This is his biggest secret, which does not belong to this world at all. To a certain extent, it is a secret that Lin Xi must never tell anyone.
"You little naughty boy..."
Lin Ruyun laughed and cursed. Being beaten up by Lin Xi made her feel a lot more relaxed.
"By the way, there is something, and it's time to give it to you."
Lin Ruyun suddenly stood up, and under Lin Xi's surprised gaze, he took out something from a hidden place in the hall.
"This thing originally belonged to your mother. Later, it was kept by your father. Later, when your father had an accident, it passed into my hands. Now that you have grown up, it is time for you to hand it over to me.
is you."
Lin Ruyun said and handed over the things in his hands, feeling relieved.
"Scroll painting?"
Lin Xi was startled, raised her head, and then slowly opened it under Lin Guoyun's nod.
This is a portrait of a woman. The woman in the painting is wearing a red palace lady's dress. She is graceful and elegant, and looks like a fairy. There is a smile at the corner of her mouth, not charming, but there is an unusual gentleness that makes people see it.
People have a warm and caring atmosphere in their hearts.
The first time Lin Xi saw the woman, she felt a strange sense of familiarity in her heart, as if she was seeing someone very close to her and very important.
Somehow, there was a strange bond connecting him to the woman in the painting. However, Lin Xi was also very convinced that he had never seen this woman before.
"This is……"
Lin Xi was thoughtful, vaguely thinking of something, but not sure.
"This is your mother."
Lin Ruyun's words revealed the identity of the woman in the painting.
"What?! My mother..."
Lin Xi was shocked. He originally only opened half of the painting, but after hearing these words, he immediately opened the entire painting completely.
In everyone's heart, mother is sacred. Lin Xi is the same.
"Not long after you were born, your mother left the Five Thunder Sect. She was originally a royal princess with a golden branch and beautiful leaves. After staying outside for a long time, she naturally became homesick. But on her way back from visiting relatives, something happened in the Liang Dynasty.
On the way back to Wulei Mountain, your mother was kidnapped and disappeared without a trace. When your father received the news, he was greatly stimulated and almost went crazy! From then on, he no longer paid attention to the affairs of the sect.
He was so distraught that he went crazy, looking for your mother everywhere. The reason why he died in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range is inseparable from this matter."
Lin Ruyun's eyes revealed deep sadness and loneliness:
"This scroll painting is the only thing left by your mother. Your father hangs it on the wall every day, facing her, missing your mother. Now that your father has passed away and you have grown up, your mother's portrait should also be
Returned to you."
"Auntie, what do you mean, my mother is not dead?!"
Lin Xi's heart was filled with ups and downs.
This news was completely huge for him, and it completely overturned his understanding of his mother.
In Lin Xi's memory, he only knew that his mother was a royal princess and knew nothing else. Lin Xi's father, Lin Xiong, was also very secretive and never talked about his mother.
Lin Xi originally thought that his mother had died a long time ago, but Lin Ruyun now told him that his mother, Princess Yangyang, might not have died at all!
"Yes, your father has always believed that she is still alive. Xi'er, promise aunt not to do anything impulsive under any circumstances. Your current strength is too weak. If you leave Wulei Mountain, you have no ability to protect yourself.
Your father is dead, and your aunt is the only relative left. If something happens to you again, what do you want your aunt to do?"
Lin Ruyun looked nervous. She grabbed Lin Xi's hand and begged.
When she said these words, she actually regretted it. If Lin Xi ran away to find her mother regardless of everything, then she would really be the one to blame! She would be too embarrassed to see her brother underground even after he died.
Lin Xi was moved in her heart. In this world, there is no doubt that the best person for him is the aunt in front of him!
"Auntie, don't worry. I won't be impulsive. I won't go anywhere until I defeat Meng Jun and inherit the position of head! I'm seventeen now. I know my priorities clearly and know what to do.
What not to do.”
Lin Xi smiled.
He rerolled his mother's portrait and put it in his arms. For Lin Xi, this was the only thing related to his mother that he had obtained.
"Xier, you have really grown up."
Lin Ruyun was relieved.
Lin Xi smiled. He was calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with ups and downs.
Although he talked about the challenge of eighteen years old easily in the palace, half of those words were used to comfort his aunt Lin Ruyun. Deep down, Lin Xi was not sure.
However, in the struggle for sectarian power, Lin Xi had no choice. Even if it was not for herself, Lin Xi had to think about her aunt.
Once Meng Jun and others take control of the sect, what awaits Aunt Lin Ruyun will definitely not be a good end!
She is her only relative in this world. Lin Xi will never allow anyone to hurt her!
"My mother must be saved. But my aunt cannot let her down. Only by grasping the present can we grasp the future..."
Lin Xi's eyes flashed and she immediately suppressed all the distracting thoughts in her heart.
The most important thing is to grasp what you can grasp in front of you.
Soon, a maid served a meal, which was very sumptuous. Lin Xi had not eaten with her aunt for a long time, and both her aunt and nephew enjoyed this meal.
