Chapter 16

Two days later, the meeting hall of the Lin family.

Lin Xiu and the other five people who had passed the family competition stood in a row. In front of them was the family patriarch Lin Wentian and a group of elders who held real power.

Looking at the most outstanding youngsters among the juniors of the five families, the big men were obviously in a good mood, pointing at them together, and sometimes there were voices of praise.

After a while, after the high-level discussion in the family was over, Lin Wentian got up from his chair, faced the five teenagers, and said: "The little eagle under the protection of the eagle will never learn to fly. You are the future of the family. , is the hope of your fathers, but you are the real reliance on whether you can become an indomitable man in the future."

Seeing that the five teenagers remained calm after he finished speaking, Lin Wentian nodded secretly, and then continued: "In the past two days, you have all learned martial arts that suit you, what do you not understand? Feel free to ask the elders of the family for advice, and I will personally lead you out of Huaining City tomorrow morning to attend special training."

The five people who looked the same at first started to panic when they heard the words. Fatty Lin Feng took a step forward and said, "Patriarch, leave Huaining City? Where are we going?"

The other four also stared straight at Lin Wentian.

With a cold snort, Lin Wentian looked at Lin Feng who had not fully recovered from his injuries and said: "One should be brave and diligent in one's cultivation, do you think your current cultivation level is enough? Let me tell you that there is still a long way to go. Not really After experiencing the baptism of blood, how can you grow up quickly? The family competition the day before yesterday, your moves were still very jerky, so you want to participate in the selection of the city lord's mansion, hmph, it doesn't matter if you embarrass yourself by then, but you will end up with me The face of the Lin family."

Lin Feng's face was flushed, and he looked at Lin Xiu as if asking for help.

He raised his head and looked at his own grandfather. Different from Lin Feng's reaction, Lin Xiu was sincerely happy to go out for special training. Originally, he wanted to fight a life-and-death battle, but now it seems that there is no need for that at all. up.

Unlike the other four flowers in the greenhouse in the family, under the guidance of Master Fenghuo, Lin Xiu has long understood the truth of the jungle. If you just blindly practice step by step, it will be difficult to achieve something on the path of cultivation.

After giving Lin Feng a helpless look, Lin Xiu looked at his grandfather and the elders, and then took the lead to step forward and said, "I have no objection to the family arrangement."

Lin Wentian and several elders in the family had smiles on their faces, and they were particularly satisfied with Lin Xiu's performance.

Seeing this, the other people could only bow their heads in resignation.

How can you get the tangy fragrance of plum blossoms without going through a lot of cold bones.

After Lin Wentian explained some precautions, he then ordered the teenagers in the five families to go home and explain to their parents in detail.

After returning to his small courtyard, Lin Xiu was pleasantly surprised to find that his parents were waiting for him in the courtyard.

After explaining to them carefully that he was about to leave Huaining City, Lin Xiu waited patiently for his parents' reaction.

To Lin Xiu's surprise, Lin Zhong had a clear attitude.

Seeing his son's uneasy look, Lin Zhong walked up to Lin Xiu, patted him on the shoulder with his remaining right hand, and said loudly, "A man with ambitions everywhere, how can he be overwhelmed by this little city of Huaining?" I have already known about your grandfather's plan, and this is what I suggested to him."

Lin Xiu was very surprised when he heard this.

He always thought that his father didn't have a harmonious relationship with the family, so he basically never saw Lin Wentian come to their house these years.

But unexpectedly, Lin Zhong could directly express his opinions to Lin Wentian even with the elite children of the family going out for trials. It can be seen that in Lin Wentian's heart, Lin Zhong's status is by no means as simple as what he saw .

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiu stopped thinking about it. He should know that his father would tell him that it was useless for him to think about it alone.

The two went straight back to the room. Lin Zhong took out several sets of clothes that had been washed and some dry food, and put them into Lin Xiu's bag.

After everything was tidied up, Lin Zhong drew the curtains in the room under Lin Xiu's puzzled gaze.

Lin Xiu had never seen his father's solemn look before, and knew that Lin Zhong must have something important to explain to him next.

Sure enough, after everything was prepared, Lin Zhong dragged Lin Xiu to the corner of the room, and then used his palm as a knife to slash towards a blue-gray unremarkable stone brick in the corner of the room.

After a crisp sound, the stone bricks turned into ashes. Where the original stone bricks were located, a quaint, cyan wooden box was exposed.

Handing the wooden box to his son, Lin Zhong said solemnly: "When you go out, remember to put your own life first. Your mother and I just want to see you, happy, and live a safe life. Regardless of How far you can go on the road of cultivation in the future, as a parent, the greatest wish is to keep your children safe."

"The things in the wooden box were obtained by me after all my life and hard work. This is a pair of Nine Dragons Lock Sky Armor."

After speaking, Lin Zhong asked Lin Xiu to open the wooden box. As soon as the wooden box was opened, Lin Xiu felt an astonishing chill rushing towards his face.

The temperature in the room became much colder in an instant, and Lin Xiu finally understood why his father acted so solemnly.

Looking up into the wooden box, he saw a pair of thin transparent armor lying quietly in the wooden box. The moment he saw this pair of armor, Lin Xiu felt that all the blood in his body was flowing. Boiling, all in the carnival.

Lin Zhong, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, made a sudden move at this moment, took out a sharp knife from his pocket, and then slashed straight at Lin Xiu's wrist.

Tick!

Bright red blood dripped down Lin Xiu's wrist and dripped directly onto the cold armor.

The strange thing is that as soon as the blood drops fell on the surface of the armor, it seemed to be absorbed by the armor, and there was no trace of it anymore.

Under the sudden pain, Lin Xiu's boiling blood also suddenly calmed down.

And the armor that had absorbed the blood no longer radiated cold air, and just lay quietly in the wooden box, as if it had never been moved for thousands of years.

Staring blankly at the armor in the wooden box, Lin Xiu didn't say a word. After about a quarter of an hour passed like this, Lin Xiu, whose wound was already scarred, slowly put one hand into the wooden box.

He took out the armor and put it on his body directly. The armor, as thin as a chandelier's wings, fit tightly on the skin, without feeling a trace of thickness at all.

And at the position closest to the chest, there is a looming trace of a dragon.
