Chapter 1556: Appearance

"Lin Zhentian, the head of the Lin family branch in Qingyang Town, Yancheng, Tiandu County, Great Yan Dynasty... greets Young Master Chaoci of the Lin family!"

noon.

sunny.

The Lin family is one of the three major families in Qingyang Town.

The middle door is wide open.

This attracted the attention of passers-by around.

Looking at Lin Zhentian, who had white hair and beard and an aura of the late Tianyuan realm, he bowed to the child leading the horse and even saluted.

Lost his voice for a moment.

You can hear the needle drop.

The Lin family is not a native family in Qingyang Town. There are only two native families in Qingyang Town, one is the Lei family and the other is the Xie family. In other words, their family heads are all locals. Maybe they have not done anything good, but there is still a difference between outsiders and locals, because the idea of ​​xenophobia always exists in everyone's heart.

Of course.

The Lin family was able to take root here.

It has already demonstrated one's own strength.

Because if the Lin family was not strong enough, they would have been driven out by the local Lei family, Xie family, and Kuang Dao Martial Arts School long ago. To snatch food from the tiger's mouth, one really needs courage. Those who don't have that courage don't even dare to make a move. But whether one can succeed or not depends on one's strength.

Lin Zhentian hasn't taken much action in recent years.

Because the structure of Qingyang Town is becoming stable.

There was no chance for him to take action.

But thirty years ago, when Lin Zhentian brought the Lin family to Qingyang Town, there was a bloody killing spree. It can be said that they snatched the current Lin’s Market from the Lei family and the Xie family with their fists. As for the Kuangdao Martial Arts School, it survived because it did not rely on the market business but on the fishing industry. All the ferry crossings in Qingyang Town belonged to the Kuangdao Martial Arts School and there was no conflict in industry, so it was lucky enough to avoid it.

But all the old vendors nearby knew how fierce Lin Zhentian was back then.

Although they were just a fellow back then.

Or a servant who does odd jobs.

I don't know much.

But no matter how you look at it, the scene Lin Zhentian created is still shocking.

Especially what Lin Zhentian said.

They did know that the place where they were now was called Qingyang Town, and they also knew that above Qingyang Town was Yancheng, but they had no idea what was above Yancheng or how big it was.

So many people are thinking about it at this moment.

It turns out that above Yancheng is Tiandu County.

Above Tiandu County is the Great Yan Dynasty.

In addition, the word "division" is easy to understand, but precisely because it is easy to understand, it is hard to believe. Because in the eyes of these people, the Lin family led by Lin Zhentian is already a dragon from Jiangjiang. Although it is transforming into a local tyrant, it will take at least two generations, that is, after Lin Zhentian's death and Lincoln's succession, and after Lincoln's death, the next generation of Lin family members can be considered local tyrants.

And the Lin family is so powerful.

In Lin Zhentian's mouth.

It can only be called a separation.

So, how powerful is this family?

Could that Lincheng be named after a surname?

However, the people around him had different thoughts and were silently thinking about these questions that were destined to have no answers, so that the scene was silent and the atmosphere was quite awkward. However, Lin Chaoci didn't care about these.

Take two steps forward.

He stretched out his hands and held Lin Zhentian's arms.

Stopped Lin Zhentian from paying his respects.

Then, he smiled and said, "I am not worthy of your courtesy... Although we have separated, I cannot write two Lin characters with one stroke. Going back in time, perhaps my great-grandfather and I are cousins. And if we trace back 6,500 years, we have the same ancestor. This is always true... So, please get up, I am just passing by to visit you. I am sorry to bother you... In addition, I am sorry to say that I encountered some minor troubles when I first arrived in Qingyang Town. It was thanks to the help of Sister Lin Xia and these brothers and sisters that I was able to escape. You are Sister Lin Xia's grandfather. Even from this relationship, I cannot accept your courtesy!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhentian was shocked.

This is not pretending.

But I'm really a little flattered.

Lin Xia and others have never been to Lincheng, so they don’t know the family’s background.

Lin Xia and others do not live in their native home, so they do not understand the rules.

But he comes from the same family!

Because of making a mistake, he was expelled from the family!

Therefore, he was particularly clear about what Lin Chaoci's configuration meant!

Six years old, Earthly Realm.

Just these two conditions determine that Lin Chaoci must be the core member of the family, and it can even be said that he is most likely a candidate for the young clan leader. Of course, it is still a bit early to say this now, because the competition for the young clan leader will not begin until the candidate reaches the Formation Realm. Before that, even if other candidates know that there is a competitor with amazing potential, they cannot make a move before this person reaches the Formation Realm. This is also a guarantee for healthy competition.

Moreover, looking at the history of the Lin clan.

No other young clan leader could reach this level at this age.

What was the growth trajectory of young patriarchs in the past?

Start practicing at the age of eight to ten.

He reached the Earthly Realm before the age of twelve.

He became a Tianyuan realm warrior at around the age of fifteen.

At around the age of twenty, Yuan Dan is condensed.

Before the age of twenty-five, enter the three realms of creation, and then before the age of fifty, complete the three realms of creation and seek nirvana. The rest will be discussed separately.

Because the knowledge beyond that is not something that he can access at his level.

Anyway, as long as the young patriarch becomes a monk in the Nirvana realm.

The Lin family officially entered the next generation.

No matter how accomplished the old patriarch is.

Can you do it?

There will be a transfer of power.

That is to say, if the original young clan leader, who is over forty years old, has not yet become a Nirvana-level warrior and is stuck in the last of the three realms of creation, and coincidentally, at this time there is a rising star who is twenty years younger than him, who is a genius and surpasses him to become a Nirvana-level warrior, then the young clan leader who is over forty years old will directly lose his current identity and hand over the position to this rising star. In a very short time, we will see this rising star become the new clan leader of the Lin clan.

In short, there are cases of the inferior overthrowing the superior.

And during the years when he was expelled.

It was a time when several candidates for the position of young patriarch were competing.

This kind of competition lasts for an extremely long time and is extremely brutal every time. Although no one will die, there will indeed be many losers.

If calculated according to the timeline.

More than 30 years have passed.

Within ten years, the competition will begin again.

Because candidates are counted by proxy.

This refers to the period starting from when the patriarch takes office.

To put it bluntly, if a baby is born before the patriarch takes office, then he has no qualifications to compete. But if a baby is born after the patriarch takes office, maybe only two days later than the former, he has the qualifications to compete for the position of junior patriarch.

But anyway.

Closer to home.

Lin Chaoci must have caught the attention of the family's senior leaders and was listed as a key training target. He can be said to be the future of the Lin clan.

How could a genius like this come out to play without any protection?

Well, there are only two possibilities for having a strong man accompanying you. The first is that the other party has a strong background, and his father or grandfather may be a powerful figure who is qualified to give orders to a strong man at the third level of the Creation Realm. The second is that he is too talented, and the result of a meeting of the top leaders of the family is to send a strong man to look after you!

This way.

No matter which possibility it is.

For him and his lineage.

They are all big shots who cannot be messed with.

In addition, children are inherently unstable. A visiting card is certainly a clear visit, but if the person handing it in is an adult, it would be relatively easier to guess. But if the person handing it in is a child, seriously speaking, before he greeted him, he had already prepared himself mentally to be told by the child that he was just joking, "I didn't expect you to really come out", "Okay, it's nothing, you can go back", etc. However, he did not expect that reality did not develop as he imagined, but instead went on very smoothly.

Not as difficult as I had imagined.

Not as arrogant as imagined.

There is nothing, it's just his imagination!

Of course, it cannot be said that there was nothing, there was still some strength holding up his arm. You know, he is a warrior in the Tianyuan realm. Even if he is old, his physical fitness is definitely not up to par, and he may be 10% away from his peak self. But that is not a reason for a warrior in the Diyuan realm to lift himself up easily with just his hands, even without any effort!

That's why.

Let Lin Zhentian confirm his previous guess.

His attitude towards Lin Chaoci became more respectful.

It was determined that Lin Chaoci was a noble descendant of the family.

Don't be lazy.

He didn't even dare let Lin Chaoci stand here and be stared at like a monkey by the people around him.

He immediately stopped exerting force.

Get up.

Under the blank gaze of Lincoln and others, he took Lin Chaoci into the mansion.

"Brother, what is this...?"

"No, is even a child of our family worthy of such courtesy from Dad?"

"All that's missing is a sedan chair with eight bearers to carry the person in."

"What if the head of our family comes?"

"Do we all have to kneel down to greet them?"

In the crowd walking.

Lin Zhentian's second son, Lin Mang, lagged behind a little.

He grumbled to his eldest brother Lincoln, who was also at the end of the team.

Hearing this, Lincoln rolled his eyes and glanced at his father Lin Zhentian who was walking in front of him and had already entered the inner courtyard. After making sure that he couldn't hear him, he lowered his voice and asked, "Look at what you're asking... How should I know?"

"Weren't you born in the family?"

Lin Mang looked at his eldest brother Lincoln in surprise.

Then, he was choked by his elder brother's question.

"It's true that I was born in this family, but how old was I at that time?"

"You count on your fingers."

"Was I old enough to remember then?"

Of course.

That's what he said.

But Lincoln also had his own guesses.

He looked around and whispered, "However, I do have a guess, but I don't know if it's accurate... Do you want to hear it?"

"Then tell me about it?"

Lin Mang put his ear closer.

In fact, the three sons all knew their father's thoughts, just as they also knew the existence of the branch family and the main family.

Starting from Lin Zhentian, this generation begins.

They are the second generation.

Lin Xia, Lin Hong, Lin Dong and others are considered the third generation.

The younger generation of the third generation didn’t know this simply because an extraordinary figure appeared in the second generation, and that was their third brother Lin Xiao.

Before Lin Xiao was born.

Lin Zhentian, as a father, can be said to have always been obsessed with returning to his family. Even when he urged them to practice, he did so with the goal of returning to his family. What he meant was that Dad was incompetent and had made mistakes, but you must practice well and return to your roots in the future and add this half page of our family tree back to the family tree of your original family.

Although it is a temptation to open a family tree alone.

But I saw those torn pieces of paper.

seriously.

Whether it's Lincoln or Lin Python.

I really feel bad.

Because this was not a glorious thing, the ends of those pieces of paper were particularly eye-catching, as if telling them and their father Lin Zhentian that you were expelled and had no right to go back.

If you want to go back, you must participate in the clan competition.

That is the competition among the Lin clan.

Under thirty years old.

Tianyuan realm.

This is a dead end, there is no room for negotiation.

Logically speaking, Lin Zhentian must have enough, because he became a Tianyuan realm warrior at the age of twenty-four, but he still has sins, so he definitely cannot participate and can only watch the next generation perform.

Therefore, the two of them practiced under this kind of pressure when they were young.

Until the third brother Lin Xiao was born.

In fact, if the third brother Lin Xiao's qualifications were average, similar to theirs, the third-generation descendants such as Lin Xia of the eldest house, Lin Hong of the second house, and Lin Dong of the third house would know about the main family and the branch family. Because under the premise that it is clear that the second-generation descendants have no hope, this kind of pressure must be given to the third-generation descendants. After all, fallen leaves return to their roots, and Lin Zhentian's obsession in this life is to be buried in the cemetery of the Lin clan. In short, it is impossible to evaluate.

Everyone has their own aspirations.

But the third brother Lin Xiao's qualifications are stronger than his father Lin Zhentian, and this has even been acknowledged by his father Lin Zhentian himself.

In the words of my father Lin Zhentian.

He was able to reach the Tianyuan realm at the age of twenty-four.

That's because he eats well and uses it well.

He enjoys enough resources.

The reason why Lin Xiao, the third brother, was able to enter the Tianyuan Realm was purely due to his talent. If he was in his own family, he would be confident that Lin Xiao could enter the Tianyuan Realm at the age of 20 or earlier, instead of wasting about four years away from the upper limit as is the case now.

But there will always be time to participate in tribal competitions.

In this way, the pressure will not be on the third generation.

A task that can be completed by the second generation.

Why involve three generations?

And these second-generation people will not say anything, just like the eldest brother Lincoln facing Lin Xia, and the second brother facing his son Lin Hong, they all feel ashamed. After all, they are fathers after all. As for the third brother Lin Xiao, he is so busy that apart from practicing, his father Lin Zhentian teaches him the moves step by step. He has no energy to promote to the younger generation.

That’s why Lin Xia and others didn’t know.

Lin Mang and Lincoln started discussing here.

To put it bluntly, in the original novel, it was because Lin Xiao was injured by Lin Langtian and could not bear it anymore, and the truth could not be hidden, so Lin Zhentian could only pin his hopes on the third generation of descendants. That's why Lin Xia and others found out. Otherwise, although he is the father of Lincoln, Lin Mang, and Lin Xiao, he is also the grandfather of Lin Xia, Lin Hong, Lin Dong and others. He still has to save his face. He can't just make the mistakes of his grandfather public, right?

And right now.

If you can hold it.

It is enough to bring shame upon the sons.

There's no need to pass it on to the grandchildren.

Therefore, after making sure that Lin Zhentian, the father, could not hear the muttering, Lincoln whispered to Lin Mang, "Perhaps father wants to use this method to build a good relationship with this young master from the family. Not to mention cheating in the clan competition next year, nor considering leaking the questions in the clan competition next year, so that the third brother can increase his chances of winning... In short, it is better to build a good relationship with him so that when the third brother goes, there will be a relative to take care of him. It is always good... You are not young anymore, and you have dealt with a lot of affairs over the years. I won't waste my time talking to you about the principle that people will get cold when they leave. Even if father goes with the third brother, it will be difficult to find old friends for help. What if something happens or a conflict occurs... You also know the character of the third brother. You can't say he is very arrogant, but he is not very humble anyway. Although he does have the capital to be proud... But when he goes to the family, conflicts are very likely. It is always beneficial to make friends with a relative!"

"Tsk...every good thing happens to him!"

Lin Mang smacked his lips, his tone somewhat dissatisfied.

But he just sighed.

Nothing more was said.

No one likes to be treated differently, especially when they are not the one being favored.

But it’s already wrong, what can I do?

They can only count on their third brother Lin Xiao to take them back to their home.

Besides, if the third brother really has this ability, he can also benefit from it, because the resource supply of the main family is obviously not comparable to that of the branch family. Even for the sake of his own son, in order for his son not to lose at the starting line and to have a better development, his dissatisfaction can be erased by himself.

You can even ask him to kowtow to his third brother.

Work hard for your children without any complaints.

Not to mention the blood relationship.

Although Lin Xiao, his third brother, is not on good terms with him.

But both sides just like to bicker.

It didn't develop to the point of physical action.

When meeting face to face, we will still say hello, and we will also be sensible in what we do.

In short.

Complaints are complaints.

We still need to support it.

Whoever is capable can take the lead.

Anyway, he clearly knew that he was no longer capable.

This must also be acknowledged.
