Although Lin Xun's residence was quite remote in the Lin family's main courtyard, such a long fight was enough to attract people's attention. Moreover, the Lin family was a wealthy family in the local area. The elders were strong and could also detect the sound of fighting.
Not long after, a new guest appeared in the originally deserted courtyard. Looking at the old man in front of him, he heard the other party ask indifferently,"What happened here?"
Lin Xun recognized him. He was the Law Enforcement Elder of the family, named Lin Li. He was in charge of the rules and punishments in the family. It could be said that he had great power, and most importantly, he was quite powerful. He was already at the eighth level of the Qi Refinement realm.
Moreover, although he was usually quite strict, as long as one did not violate the clan rules, he would not deliberately find trouble. It could be said that he was quite upright and did not need to worry about the other party accusing him.
"Disciple doesn't know either. I was sleeping well in the room when I suddenly sensed a thief coming and fought with him. Just as I subdued the thief, Elder arrived.”Lin Xun was not worried at all and directly told him what he knew.
Anyway, this battle wouldn't last long, and most of what Lin Xun said was true. He only hid a little bit, but it didn't matter. As the saying goes, nine truths and one falsehood were the hardest to see through. Moreover, it was basically the truth now. Anyway, there was no evidence at this moment. Lin Yong couldn't get up and sue him now, right?
The elder slowly nodded his head in response to Lin Xun's words. After all, the corpse on the ground was dressed in night clothes. It was obvious that he did not want to expose his identity, which meant that he had ulterior motives. Under such circumstances, no matter what the other party's identity was, Lin Xun still had merit in killing the other party.
After all, there had been traitors in the family for so many years. Even if Lin Yong came back to life, he would not be able to clear his name.
Lin Li nodded immediately." You did well. You have your father's style back then. I hope you can continue to work hard. This is my token. Go to the accountant's office tomorrow to collect three bottles of Body Tempering Pills. Consider it a reward.”
"Thank you, Elder." Lin Xun received the token with a smile. He was originally anxious that he did not have any cultivation resources. He did not expect this elder to be so kind and directly send it over.
At the same time, he thanked Lin Yong in his heart. Although the other party was not a treasure giver, it was almost enough. Not only did he send himself to Lin Yong's door for revenge, but he also made Lin Yong perform meritorious deeds. He even received three bottles of Body Tempering Pills. He was simply a great person!
Since he had already taken his revenge, Lin Xun didn't feel any pressure no matter how much he praised the other party.
Elder Lin Li left immediately after he understood the whole thing. As for the corpse on the spot, it was also picked up by the patrolling guards.
As for Lin Xun, he sat cross-legged in the room and quietly pondered. The scene from before echoed in his mind. From the first move of the two people's exchange until the other party's death, he did not miss a single move.
Just as the sage said, I reflect on myself three times a day.
Although Lin Xun couldn't be like a saint, he still needed to think quietly after every battle. Where did he go wrong and where did he make a mistake? These were not trivial matters. Today, Lin Yong was just a small figure.
However, in a true battle between geniuses, a single mistake would lead to more mistakes. Even if it was just an inconspicuous mistake, it could even cause one to lose a good opportunity and even die in the end.
There was only one life, and Lin Xun was still quite serious when it came to his life.
After about an hour, Lin Xun finally finished digesting the first battle of the day. Although it was just a battle, his current combat strength had increased by two levels compared to his previous self. Moreover, his understanding of the [Versatile Sword Technique] had also deepened.
He let out a long sigh. Not only had he fought a battle tonight, but he had also analyzed it in detail. This made Lin Xun's spirit a little tired. He was prepared to pack up and rest.
Suddenly, he saw a fine iron sword on the ground. It seemed to be left behind by Lin Yong, and it was not taken away. It could be said to be Lin Xun's spoils of war.
Even though a fine iron sword was not very eye-catching, it would still cost a full fifty silver taels to buy in Qingyun Town. This was equivalent to five months of Lin Xun's monthly salary. This was indeed a treasure with a sky-high price.
Lin Xun's previous monthly salary was basically used to maintain his own life. He could not save so much money at all, nor could he afford an iron sword. Therefore, when he practiced the sword, he could only use a wooden sword instead.
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed. Even though Lin Xun had the iron sword in his hand, he had no intention of replacing the wooden sword. This was because the wooden sword in his hand was no longer just an ordinary wooden sword.
After ten years of tempering, the wooden sword contained Lin Xun's essence, qi, and spirit. Not only was its appearance hard enough to compete with refined iron swords, but it was also exceptionally handy when used. If it was nurtured like this, it could even undergo a transformation in the end.
Therefore, this sword was only of little value to Lin Xun. It was tasteless to eat and a pity to throw it away. Lin Xun decided to sell it tomorrow, hoping to exchange it for some money and materials. After all, money was quite important to cultivators.
Lin Xun immediately took the iron sword and wanted to place it properly.
However, as he casually waved the sword in his hand a few times, he accidentally touched the small sword case he kept close to his chest. Then, something shocking happened. The iron sword slowly fused into the sword case and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xun paid great attention to this situation. After all, ever since the sword box allowed him to cultivate, he would carefully check it every day, hoping to find some other opportunities. However, the final result was very disappointing.
This sword box was at most a small box that could not be opened, but even so, Lin Xun still did not give up. He did not think that the sword box that could allow him to transmigrate and give him a cultivation technique would be so simple. He did not expect that he would finally give himself away today.
Overall, the sword case did not seem to have changed much. The size was still the same, but only Lin Xun noticed that its appearance seemed to have darkened from its original light black color. Moreover, it had become heavier in his hand. It was exactly the same weight as the sword from before.
All of this indicated that the sword box was not that simple. Lin Xun was quite optimistic about its future, but if he had to keep eating swords, it would be a little unbearable for him.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Although there were intruders last night, considering the influence of traitors, no news spread. It was as if nothing had happened at all. No one noticed that two people had disappeared from the family without a sound.
At this moment, in Linlong's courtyard, he was throwing a tantrum."What do you think is going on? Why was that trash fine, but Lin Yang and Lin Yong had disappeared?”
Lin Long didn't care about such trivial matters, but he was summoned by Patriarch of Law Enforcement in the middle of the night. He was only released in the morning. Although he was a direct descendant of the family and the number one genius, he didn't have any special privileges when it came to traitors.
In the end, the result was that Lin Yong was a traitor and seemed to have some plan. As for Lin Yang, he had already fled to avoid punishment, and Lin Xun had actually made a contribution. This result made Lin Long dumbfounded, but he could not refute anything.
Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his words. He quickly denied that everything had nothing to do with him. After all, he could not possibly say,"All of this was arranged by me. I was the one who asked them to steal the cultivation technique from Lin Xun.”
If he really said that, even if he was a direct descendant of the family, he would definitely be investigated. Even if nothing was found in the end, the image that he had built for a long time had collapsed, and his prestige had been completely lost.
Coincidentally, Lin Xun had already finished washing up and was about to leave. The two of them met just like that. Lin Xun's expression was indifferent, while Lin Long's expression was as gentle as ever, but there was still anger in his eyes that could not be hidden. The two of them formed a sharp contrast.
Especially since Lin Xun's eyes were filled with innocence. This made Linlong even angrier, and it even slowly turned into hatred and a faint killing intent.
Although Lin Xun was puzzled as to why Lin Long was so angry, ever since he found out that it was the other party who instructed Lin Yang and the others to attack, the two of them were already enemies. It was even destined that one day, the two of them would draw their swords at each other. However, the angrier the enemy was, the happier Lin Xun was.
However, after sensing the faint killing intent from the other party, Lin Xun slowly touched his wooden sword. At the same time, he thought to himself, Since you once targeted me, I will repay you ten times over in the future.
However, they were in the Lin Family after all. Lin Long could not attack Lin Xun for no reason in front of everyone. Otherwise, the image that he had deliberately disguised for so long would instantly disappear.
As for Lin Xun, it was even more impossible for him to take the initiative to attack. His current strength was insufficient, and he still needed enough time to accumulate strength. Only with enough strength could he ensure his own safety. No matter how many schemes the other party had, under absolute strength, it would be like a landslide.
