Chapter 1: Fool
Chapter 1 Fool
Tianyang City, on the Lin Family Martial Arts Field, the coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin.
The coming-of-age ceremony is the first step for the children of the Lin family to become famous in the world.
I saw all the boys and girls, gearing up to show their talents. On the stage, in addition to the important members of the Lin family, they also invited the city owner and people from the major families in Tianyang City to watch together.
But there was a boy, fifteen or sixteen years old, who was playing in the mud and murmured, "Come on, become a dragon!"
"Come on, turn me into a big tree!"
"Come on, kill these gods and demons for me!"
...
For this young man, the disciples onlookers whispered.
"This kid, what a lunatic!"
"I don't know why the head of the family adopted him!"
"Who made the head of the family have no children?"
"That's better than picking up a fool, right?"
The fool that everyone said was Lin Tian, the adopted son of Lin Yao, the current head of the Lin family, and it was said that the head of the family brought it back from the restricted area in Yun Yao Mountain more than ten years ago.
It's just that Lin Tian has been crazy since he was a child, and his IQ is like that of a three- or four-year-old child. Even what he says is even more crazy, and he is still going to destroy the world.
But just like Lin Yao treated him as a treasure, he gave him all kinds of medicinal materials and even found all kinds of famous doctors, but it took more than ten years and still no improvement.
"Patriarch Lin, is your son an adult too?"
The sad, middle-aged man in white armor looked at a man in blue sitting next to him and asked.
The man in Tsing Yi had a splayed beard. This man was the head of the Lin family. He was stunned and said, "Yes, the city master."
The white Linjia man is the city lord of Tianyang City, Tianwu. I saw his brow wrinkled, but shook his head helplessly, "How can I have the heart to betroth my daughter to him like your son?"
"Tiancheng Lord, this." Lin Yao knew that Lin Tian was indeed not worthy of Tianwu's daughter. After all, she was the number one beauty in Tianyang City, and she was considered a thousand-year-old genius. How could she marry an outsider she picked up.
But Lin Yao has regarded Lin Tian as his son for more than ten years. To say that he has no feelings is a lie.
"Forget it, I don't want to hurt our decades-long friendship because of this!" Tian Wu obviously didn't want to hit Lin Yao on purpose, so he just sat there and said nothing.
Nai He, the elder of the Lin family, King Lin, stroked the long white beard, shook his white eyelashes and said with a smile, "Tiancheng Lord, more than ten years ago, you just casually talked about marrying your daughter to that fool. Don't worry too much."
Tianwu didn't speak, but everyone knew that King Lin had always been at odds with the head of the family, and even wanted to make things difficult for the head of the family during the coming-of-age ceremony to force him to abdicate.
But King Lin knew that the relationship between Tianwu and Lin Yao was not shallow, so he needed some ruthless medicine today, so he saw that the city lord didn't respond and said with a smile, "Tiancheng lord, my grandson, Lin Yan, has already refined Qi to the ninth level, One step away, the foundation can be established!"
"The ninth level of qi refining?" Tian Wu's expression was moved, and some of the surrounding Lin family members who had been bought by King Lin started booing.
"That's right, this Lin Yan has already reached the ninth level of qi refining half a month ago. He is also the only person in Tianyang City who has reached the ninth level of qi refinement before reaching adulthood for nearly a hundred years!" An elder echoed.
There was also an elder who laughed and said, "With his ability, with the city lord's daughter, that would be great!"
These words sounded harsh to Lin Yao's ears. As for Tianwu, although he didn't say anything, but if he was asked to re-elect, he would definitely choose Lin Yan instead of a fool.
But Tianwu didn't want to get into trouble with Lin Yao, so he could only smile awkwardly, "The matter of marriage is still up to their juniors to decide! Not us!"
These words made Lin Wang feel that his grandson had hope, so he laughed and said, "Presumably, Qianjin is here?"
"Come on, right there!" Tian Wu pointed to Lin Tian's position in the crowd.
At this time, Lin Tian was playing in the mud, and beside him, there was a woman with a veil, squatting at the gate and looking at her fiancé.
"You're Lin Tian?" That woman was Tian Wu's daughter, Tian Luo.
I saw her beauty pupils blinking there, curiously asking Lin Tian's identity, but Lin Tian smirked, "I want to make the sky dark, it won't dare to light, I want to make the sky split, it won't. Dare to close!"
Tianluo's expression was solemn, and the onlookers thought at first that this woman was just a servant girl accompanied by Tiancheng Lord, but when they heard that she was the City Lord's daughter, countless men immediately began to discuss.
Some people still want to go forward and see Tian Luo's face up close, and some even want to tear off her veil, but the city lord is in front, and everyone can only suppress it.
Na Lin Wang reminded Tian Wu, "City Lord, let your daughter come back, or you will get dirty with mud later, it's not good!"
Tianwu glanced at Lin Yao's expression, but Lin Yao's eyes were sour at the moment, but he couldn't say anything more.
This made Tian Wu sigh helplessly, "It's okay, let her play."
Lin Wang saw that the city owner had not changed his mind, and smiled at Lin Yao again, "Patriarch, everyone is almost here, let's start the coming-of-age ceremony."
Lin Yao was exhausted physically and mentally, but he stood up helplessly and looked at everyone, "Adult ceremony, start!"
Then a person lined up, came to a huge black stone, injected a mass of qi into the stone, and after a while, someone was counting on the side.
"Lin Feng, five levels of Qi refining."
"Lin Shan, the fourth level of Qi refining."
...
"Lin Shan, the eighth level of Qi refining!"
"Wow" There was an uproar at the scene, and even people from other families on stage showed envious expressions one by one.
After all, it is very difficult to reach the eighth level of qi refining as an adult. It has not been seen once in almost a hundred years, but now Lin Shan is a girl who has already reached the eighth level of qi refining.
In addition to this Lin Shan, he was also a peerless genius of the Lin family. Lin Yan directly showed the ninth level of Qi refining in front of everyone, making other families envious.
Some people even congratulated King Lin, "Old Lin, your grandson has a bright future."
Lin Wang was very happy, and someone smiled at another bearded middle-aged man who said nothing, "Lin Sanye, your daughter, not bad!"
Lin Sanye, Lin Yao's younger brother, Lin Xiong, because he ranks third, everyone calls him Sanye.
But he has always been eyeing the position of the head of the family, and even said coldly with King Lin as his company, "But so what? My big brother, didn't you give all your resources to a fool?"
The smell of gunpowder is very strong, and people from other families are watching the play.
Lin Yao looked at Lin Xiong and said solemnly, "Third brother, the training materials I give you are the same."
"Same? But he's a fool? You give it too?" Lin Xiong immediately refused, what Lin Yao wanted to say, but the woman in the audience, Lin Shan, laughed evilly, "Dad, I can be better than that fool without any materials. ."
Lin Xiong wanted Lin Yao to step down, not to see his daughter show her prestige, so he glared, "If he gave you and Lin Yan his, you two would have built the foundation long ago!"
Everyone thought it was reasonable, and many elders also began to criticize Lin Yao, no doubt trying to force Lin Yao to abdicate in front of everyone.
At this time, Lin Yan in the audience, with blond hair, smiled arrogantly and said, "I said, Patriarch, look, you have no children under your knees, and more than ten years ago, the cultivation base was half backward because of him, so why not? Step back."
Originally, those elders did not dare to say this, but Lin Yan said it first, so he immediately attracted the approval of many people.
Lin Yao looked ugly, but Lin Wang said with a fake smile, "Yan'er, don't make trouble."
Everyone knows that King Lin is hypocritical, but that Lin Yan laughed and said, "The position of the head of the family can't be said, so my privilege can always be said?"
"Privileges?" Some people present didn't know what privileges were, but Lin Shan, who had already heard about it, said with a joking joke, "Whoever measures the highest level of cultivation at the coming-of-age ceremony is qualified to challenge anyone."
Everyone suddenly realized, and Lin Yao asked with an ominous premonition, "Who do you want to challenge?"
"He!" Lin Yan pointed at Lin Tian.
The disciples who were watching immediately became noisy, and Lin Yao looked ugly, "You."
Lin Yan smiled, "This is a family rule!"
Lin Yao's face was very ugly, and many disciples of the Lin family knew that Lin Yan had always looked down on Lin Tian.
There are rules in the Lin family, and no fights are allowed in private, except in adult ceremonies or special arenas.
This is why Lin Yan chose to challenge the fool Lin Tian at this juncture. Naturally, he wanted to abolish him, or even kill him. The owner of the family didn't dare to say a word, otherwise it would break the family rules.
"Patriarch, my grandson is not talented, I want to challenge that fool." King Lin looked at Lin Yao with a weird smile.
Lin Yao knew that if he agreed, it would mean letting Lin Tian go to his death, but if he didn't agree, it would mean breaking the rules of the family, so he didn't need to think about his position as the head of the family.
But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly threw a pile of mud into the air, then screamed with an 'ah', and then his eyes turned red.
Tian Luo who was on the side was frightened, but that Tian Wu quickly came to Tian Luo and pulled her aside, "Be careful!"
Lin Yao panicked and came to Lin Tian's side, put a pill in Lin Tian's mouth, and said, "Quick, Qingling Pill! Swallow it!"
