That night, everyone in the Lin family, from the old to the young, got drunk.

The joy in their hearts could not be expressed in words, and the entire Lin Mansion was boiling, falling into a festive atmosphere.

What an honor and what an inspiration to be one of the four favorites.

But in a corner of the Lin Mansion, Lin You's eyes were dim.

As the only junior of the Lin family who lost in this selection competition, although he also showed his talent and perseverance to everyone, failure is failure after all.

"Hey, what are you doing hiding here alone?" Just when he was sad and lonely, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

It turned out that Lin Zhong came to his side at some unknown time.

As early as when the competition had just ended, Lin Wentian and I found my son who was the most shining and eye-catching, and told him in detail how much I valued and appreciated Lin You, and hoped that Lin Chong could do well in the future. For a period of time, they took on the responsibility of teaching Lin You. In the entire Lin family, only Lin Zhong had the highest cultivation and insight. They didn't want to bury Lin You's talent.

He believed that even though his cultivation was no longer one in ten, his son still had good eyesight. Under his training, Lin You would not necessarily be much worse than those who entered the Guiyuan Sect in the future.

Staring blankly at the middle-aged man in front of him, Lin You was a little puzzled, wondering what this former favorite of heaven wanted to do now that he found himself.

After Lin Zhong explained his reason for coming, Lin You's eyes were full of disbelief, he never thought that he could get into the eyes of the other party.

It's not that he didn't believe in Lin Zhong's strength, but he didn't expect that the other party would be willing to accept him and asked to take the initiative to be his teacher.

"Hey, what are you thinking about, kid? Do you think I'm not worthy to be your master?" Seeing Lin You's dazed look, Lin Zhong's tone gradually became a little impatient.

Back then, he was the number one master in Huaining City, even if you look at the Guiyuan Domain where there are many masters, the warriors at the Earth Yuan Realm can still be called a powerful party.

But right now, he came to the door on his own initiative, and the kid in front of him didn't know how to be content!

Lin You pinched his wrist hard, and after feeling a burst of pain, he was finally sure that what he saw was not a dream.

His eyes glowed with hope again, and he bowed down directly to the thick middle-aged figure in front of him.

"Disciple, meet Master."

After signaling Lin You to stand up, Lin Zhong took out a wine gourd from his waist and drank a few gulps.

"No one can say for sure about the fate of life. I never worshiped Guiyuanzong back then, and I still broke out my own world. The failure in the trials can only show that at this stage, your strength is better than There is still a little distance between them. But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Lin Zhong's face also turned rosy after several mouthfuls of mellow wine.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart. A person's life is very long and full of variables. I hope that in three years, when Lin Xiu and the others come back, I will compete with them on the same stage. You can Prove that you are not worse than them." Looking at the thin boy opposite, Lin Zhong seemed to see himself back then.

In the past, he was also obsessed with the pursuit of martial arts. For this reason, he even left his hometown alone and chose to go to the mainland to fight alone.

Although some accidents happened later, he never regretted his choice back then.

Only after seeing the world outside can one understand that this place in Huaining City is really just a pond.

"After Lin Xiu and the others leave, you start to practice with me. Let me remind you in advance that I have very high requirements for my disciples. However, when I was training Lin Xiu before, I still felt that my requirements were very important to him. , It’s like scratching an itch, it’s far from reaching his limit, which makes me, a father, very embarrassed. I have no chance to get my son’s face back, so I can only find it on my disciples It's back to the field. So I decided to double the amount of training you have."

After saying this, Lin Zhong raised his head and swallowed the fine wine again, and returned to his home alone. Lin Xiu was still waiting for him there.

In the brightly lit home, Lin Xiu and his son looked at each other silently.

Seeing this child growing up in front of his eyes, Lin Zhong couldn't tell what it was like, proud, reluctant, or both.

After all, Lin Xiu is only twelve years old this year, and he has never left his hometown except for going out with his father for more than ten days.

This farewell, we don't know what year and month we will meet again.

Originally, he still had a lot to say to Lin Xiu, but seeing his son's slowly resolute face, his throat moved, but in the end he didn't say a word, he just patted Lin Xiu's shoulder, and then turned back. When he arrived at his room, Lin Xiu had grown up and had his own opinions when encountering things, so he didn't need to remind him.

Lin Xiu, who was lying on the bed, was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. Bits and pieces of the past twelve years began to emerge in his mind.

Lin Xiu, who had never met his biological mother since he was a child, was brought up by Lin Zhonghan so hard. He thought of his father when he taught him how to practice boxing for the first time. He thought of crying when he was laughed at by other children and had no mother. Lin Zhong's eyes were red, but he still tried to comfort him.

He thought of the gratified look in Lin Zhong's eyes when he handed him the Nine Dragons Suotian Armor before going out to practice.

Lin Zhong's temples were gradually graying, but Lin Xiu grew up bit by bit.

Although Lin Zhong never said it, Lin Xiu still understood in his heart that the sufferings his father had endured over the years were definitely not much weaker than his own. He believed that when he was crying and looking for his mother, Lin Zhong was also thinking about his mother.

Father as a mountain.

The brief parting is for a better meeting in the future!

He believed that when he met again, he already had the strength to protect his father, and then he must completely heal the hidden dangers in his father's body.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

During these three days, Lin Xiu traveled to every corner of Huaining City, and went to the forest to visit the black-eyed snow-hoofed beast, and stroked the snow-white hair of the black-eyed snow-hoofed beast reluctantly. The two of them frolicked again by the stream.

Although Lin Xiu is still not the opponent of the black-eyed snow-hoofed beast, after breaking into the bone-hardening state, he already has a certain ability to protect himself in front of the powerful black-eyed snow-hoofed beast. In this battle, he finally did not fight again. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his body was only slightly injured. In the face of the powerful recovery power of the Thousand Layers Body Training Art, the wound had recovered to its original state in just a few hours.

Before leaving, Lin Xiu went to the mountains to catch a lot of game, and prepared a grand barbecue banquet for the black-eyed snowhoofed beast. We have known each other for so long, but we have never really satisfied its appetite.

I don't know when I will be able to see this big guy in front of me again. Looking at the black-eyed snowhoof beast that was feasting, Lin Xiu couldn't help thinking.

When they meet again, the black-eyed snowhoof beast will definitely not be their opponent.

It gets cooler at night.

The chill of late autumn was refreshing, Lin Xiu rested his chin on one hand, and stared blankly at the bright moonlight in the sky. I don't know if the moon in other places is as bright and bright as in Huaining City.

The parting of young people is always a poem. This year, Lin Xiu was twelve years old, and his cultivation base had already reached the Bone Tempering Realm, and his real combat power was even harder to find an opponent in the Bone Tempering Realm. Challenges await him.
