In the next few days, Lin Xiu did not stay in the attic to think about cultivation methods like he did a few days ago. Instead, he stayed in the shop and acted as an odd-job worker, helping the old couple take care of the business.
As time went by, the relationship between Lin Xiu and the couple became closer. Because the two old people did not have any children and they did not know Liu Cheng's whereabouts, they treated Lin Xiu as their own child.
During this period, Lin Ping came by once, but he turned a blind eye to Lin Xiu's behavior and pretended not to know him. He just ate quietly as usual.
On this day, Lin Xiu just walked out of the closed shop. Suddenly, a man in black directly stabbed at Lin Xiu's face. Lin Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly and a few small wounds suddenly appeared on Lin Xiu's body.
Lin Xiu did not know who this person was at the moment, but in Shou Zhou City, his strength and strength had been maintained at the peak of the Manifestation realm, so he did not dare to use a higher level of strength.
But the battle awareness displayed by this man in black was extremely strong. Although it seemed to be on par with Lin Xiu, because the opponent had launched a sneak attack, it made Lin Xiu a little flustered.
It seemed that this world was indeed not as simple as he thought. At first, Lin Xiu thought that the few Dao Enlightenment realm powerhouses in Cloud Sea City were not skilled enough in controlling their own strength, and that it was a common problem in the entire ancient world. However, this man in black completely shattered Lin Xiu's understanding.
Lin Xiu took a slight breath and moved his wrist. His back was bent like a dragon, and he stared closely at the man in black.
He did not say much. Since the other party did not show his true face from the beginning, his goal must be to intercept and kill him. Lin Xiu could not show the slightest bit of mercy to this kind of person. He suddenly let out a long roar, gathered his strength in his right fist, and bombarded the man heavily.
After fighting for a while, Lin Xiu could not help but praise. The man in black in front of him was indeed a rare powerhouse in the peak of the Manifestation realm.
If he encountered the Dao Enlightenment realm powerhouses in Cloud Sea City three months ago, it was still uncertain who would win and who would lose. This was enough to prove the strength of the man in black.
But how could Lin Xiu be defeated so easily? With a slight shift in his footsteps, Lin Xiu also displayed a skill that he obtained from the Shou Zhou City Lord Residence.
"Pegasus Meteor Fist!"
Pegasus Meteor Fist was a skill that Lin Xiu had purposely picked out from the many skills and skills that were related to the stars.
This was something that could not be helped. In order to deal with unexpected situations, if he inadvertently used the Star Tactics, he could use this as a cover.
The two of them moved slightly and began to fight in the box.
However, for some unknown reason, the two of them controlled the intensity of their attacks.
The power was restrained and could be released and retracted freely. It did not damage the surrounding buildings at all.
"Yao Kun's lackey, I advise you to surrender. It's impossible for you to be a match for me." The man in black's voice was extremely hoarse as he scolded Lin Xiu angrily. Then, he immediately used Black Tiger Steals Heart and grabbed Lin Xiu.
Regarding this, Lin Xiu was a little surprised. In an instant, he thought of many things. Under normal circumstances, the other party should not know his true identity because the strength that he revealed was only at the Manifestation Realm. And in order to catch the attention of the Venerable Residence, one had to at least reach the Enlightenment Realm.
Then the situation was very obvious. This expert must be from the City Lord Residence. Maybe this time, it was Lin Ping's test for him.
After thinking through this point, Lin Xiu no longer had any misgivings. He just firmly remembered to control his strength at the Manifestation realm and did not dare to exceed it in the slightest. After fighting with the man in black for an entire hour, both of them looked a little exhausted.
Lin Xiu's exhaustion was, of course, an act. The man in black saw that he could not do anything to Lin Xiu. With a cold snort, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the endless darkness.
Lin Xiu walked alone in the alley and carefully released his spiritual consciousness to sense the surrounding situation.
It seemed that Lin Ping was also a very cautious person. The reason why he still came to check the surrounding terrain was because if he still acted as if nothing happened after facing a sneak attack, it would instead arouse suspicion.
Along the way back to the City Lord Residence, Lin Xiu found that Lin Ping and an ordinary-looking young man were waiting at the gate.
Lin Ping's face was full of smiles, then he laughed and said to Lin Xiu, "Lin Xiu, this time, you have been wronged, I am really sorry, but this can't be helped. These days, who knows how many people under Yao Kun have come to Shou Zhou City. As the City Lord, I naturally do not want them to cause a commotion here. "
After this test, Lin Ping had completely let down his guard against Lin Xiu because he knew in his heart that if Yao Kun really sent experts to capture Liu Cheng, they must be people at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm.
Although the strength that Lin Xiu displayed was extremely extraordinary and could even fight against experts who had just entered the Enlightenment Realm, compared to those who stood at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm, the gap was still too big.
Hearing this, Lin Xiu revealed a helpless smile on his face, then turned his head to the ordinary-looking young man.
"Hmph, the next time we meet, I will definitely be able to defeat you."
After saying this, after the young man said this, he actually ignored Lin Ping who was beside him and walked into the City Lord Residence.
Regarding this, Lin Ping was a little embarrassed, his face revealed a look of shame, and said to Lin Xiu, "I have let you see a joke, this young man is not someone else, he is my son. All along, his path of cultivation has been smooth sailing. After hearing about your news, he took the initiative to ask me, saying that he wanted to test your strength. As a father, although I am proud to have such a son, I deeply understand that if life is too smooth, once he encounters a setback, it may cause a very big blow to him, so this time, I also used you as a whetstone. "
Lin Xiu was extremely curious, he did not think that this City Lord named Lin Ping would actually be so open and honest.
The two of them walked into the City Lord's Mansion together. However, no one knew what they were really thinking …
