In the main hall of the inner city.
Apart from the few powerhouses of the Lin clan who had high statuses, other warriors were not allowed to enter the main hall.
In the Lin clan, it was considered an honor to be able to enter the "main hall" of the inner city.
At this moment, Lin Feng was undoubtedly wearing the crown.
Whoosh! The light in front of him lit up.
Lin Feng moved and entered a special space.
The strong and majestic aura covered everything. There was a solemn and serious atmosphere, making it hard for him to breathe. As he walked forward slowly, Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He could vaguely see three figures that seemed familiar yet familiar at the same time.
Clan Leader Lin Zhen, Chief Weapon Refinement Master Lin Yan, and …
Master Yan Qing.
"He's really here," Lin Feng thought to himself with a straight face.
Yumo had predicted everything very accurately. She had long guessed that Master Yan Qing would be here.
That was the reason why he had been "delaying".
"Greetings, Clan Leader and Masters," Lin Feng said politely as he bowed slightly.
"We meet again, Little Brother," Yan Qing said with an amiable smile.
"Okay." Lin Yan expressed assent softly and stroked his long beard while looking at Lin Feng thoughtfully. It was their first "official" meeting. Lin Zhen shook his head helplessly and said, "Lin Feng, you've made me wait for a long time."
He had waited for a full three months!
He didn't expect Lin Feng to miss all the opportunities when he finally arrived.
"Please forgive me, Clan Leader," Lin Feng said with cupped fists without explaining much.
It was common for warriors to take two to three months to comprehend Star Techniques. Even two to three years was rare. Many weapon refinement masters were even more astonishingly invested 20 to 30 years in order to successfully comprehend and refine Star Weapons and Star Armors.
Lin Zhen sighed in his heart helplessly.
He had always thought highly of Lin Feng, but he did not expect that he had still underestimated Lin Feng.
Intermediate Fire Controlling Space had broken Grandmaster Lin Yan's record. What did this mean?
This was different from the Elementary Fire Control Space. The Intermediate Fire Control Space's test was a real refiner's test. It belonged to the process of refining star-grade tools.
Lin Feng actually had such ability!
After watching the video that day, Master Lin Yan immediately decided to take Lin Feng as his inner disciple. This kind of unpolished jade, if carved properly, would definitely become a pillar of support in the future. In Lin Yan's view, it was even possible for them to surpass the Pang family and become the strongest refining family in Shiluo County one day.
Pang Yan?
Who did he think he was?
Even if Lin Feng wasn't as good as him now, the difference between their potential was more than a mile and a half!
This point was something that all Earth Rank Weapon Craftsmen could see.
However, who would have thought that Lin Feng would directly go into seclusion?
It was delayed again and again.
And now, Yan Qing was here.
…
"Grandmaster Yan, let's do as we agreed just now?" Lin Yan smiled, but there was a hint of helplessness in his smile.
"I agree." Yan Qing looked at Lin Feng and nodded with a smile.
Lin Feng looked at Yan Qing and then at Lin Yan. He naturally knew what was going on.
However, his gaze was still fixed on Clan Leader Lin Zhen.
No matter what, his current identity was a fourth-grade "sub-branch" martial artist. In name, he still belonged to the Lin clan. Perhaps he now had independent autonomy and freedom, but there was no harm in giving face to Clan Leader Lin Zhen in front of others.
"It's like this, Lin Feng." Lin Zhen's eyes flashed, and he nodded. "Both Grandmasters want to take you as their disciple. Although you are a member of the Lin clan …" After a pause, Lin Zhen didn't say it out loud. He just muttered softly, "You should choose yourself. Both Grandmasters have agreed."
A Grandmaster of Weapon Refinement and Grandmaster of Inscription. What kind of glory was that in the Nine Provinces?
It had always been them who chose their disciples. Now, it was their disciple who chose them. If others knew …
Their jaws would probably drop to the ground.
Lin Feng sneered.
However, he smiled in his heart.
"Just as Yumo said, the Lin clan doesn't dare to offend Grandmaster Yan Qing."
"In this case, the initiative is in my hands."
After pondering for a while, Lin Feng was quite impressed by Yumo's "wisdom".
Although he didn't know why he couldn't become Grandmaster Lin Yan's disciple, Yumo's words couldn't be wrong.
The reason why he had delayed that day was because his performance in the apprentice workshop was too outstanding. Grandmaster Lin Yan wanted to take him as his disciple. If he really came to learn weapon refinement and joined the Lin clan because he liked weapon refinement … there was naturally no reason for him to reject Grandmaster Lin Yan!
Because this was an opportunity that every Weapon Refinement Master dreamed of.
Three months ago, it would have been difficult for him to advance or retreat. Whether he agreed or not, it would have been a "mistake".
But right now, he could openly refuse.
Lin Feng pondered for a while and fell into deep thought.
No matter what he chose, he had to at least make a "gesture" now.
The three people in front of him were three old foxes.
…
Time passed bit by bit.
Yan Qing and Lin Yan weren't in a hurry. They drank their tea slowly and waited for Lin Feng's decision.
On the other hand, a few drops of cold sweat dripped down Lin Zhen's forehead.
It seemed that there were many disadvantages no matter how Lin Feng chose the Lin clan.
If he chose Grandmaster Lin Yan, he would definitely offend Grandmaster Yan Qing. Perhaps he didn't say it, but Yan Qing would definitely have a knot in his heart. There would definitely be a crack in their relationship. However, if he chose Grandmaster Yan Qing, the clan would undoubtedly lose a genius Weapon Refinement Master. This "disadvantage" seemed to be much greater.
What a headache!
Lin Zhen smiled bitterly.
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly raised his head. His eyes flashed.
He had already made his final decision.
"Thank you for thinking highly of me, Grandmasters." Lin Feng bowed slightly. "However, I'm afraid I don't have the fortune to choose either of you. It's inevitable that the other Grandmaster will be unhappy. To avoid hurting the harmony, I can only reject the good intentions of the two Grandmasters."
Reject all of them?
Lin Yan and Yan Qing looked at each other in surprise.
They didn't expect Lin Feng to make such a decision. For a moment, they were a little stunned.
On the other hand, Lin Zhen's eyes lit up. A huge weight was lifted from his heart.
"Good idea!"
"Little guy, you're so smart."
Lin Zhen praised in his heart.
Lin Feng's decision could be said to have more advantages than disadvantages for the clan.
It was the best solution.
"Alright." Lin Yan's eyes flashed and he sighed softly.
"What a pity." Yan Qing shook his head and felt a little helpless.
After all, their statuses were there.
The two of them had already lost a lot of face by "snatching" a disciple. Fortunately, there weren't many people here.
If they really did something else in order to snatch a disciple, it would be too embarrassing. Moreover, they had previously agreed to let Lin Feng make his own choice. They wouldn't force him. Now, although this wasn't a very good outcome, it was still a passable one.
At least, it was the same for everyone.
Lin Feng also smiled slightly.
To him, it would prevent his intentions from being exposed and he would be able to stay in the Lin Clan with a low profile. This was also perfect.
As for becoming a disciple …
Although it would increase his strength as a weapon refiner, it was only temporary. Basically, he had already learned the basic knowledge that he wanted to learn. With the help of the Starry Sky Eyes, he also understood a lot about the Dao of weapon refiners. Even without a teacher, he could still refine weapons.
Perhaps he would take many detours, but that was the inevitable path to success.
Smooth sailing might not be the best.
…
Although he wasn't fated to become Yan Qing's disciple, this didn't affect their relationship.
Lin Feng felt somewhat grateful to a senior who thought so highly of him.
He would treat others the same way they treated him.
Perhaps there was some misunderstanding about his "acquaintance" with Yan Qing, but how could men always remember such trivial things? Even he and Wan Mochou, who had fought to the death in Yanling Manor, had a harmonious relationship now. They had become close friends.
Many times, there was a kind of fate between people.
"If you have the chance, come to Sang Yang District, little brother," Yan Qing said with a smile.
Sang Yang District was one of the nine districts of Shiluo County.
It was one level higher than the Qianluo Central District where the Lin clan was located.
"Okay, senior," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Mm." Yan Qing patted Lin Feng's shoulder and nodded with a smile.
The future was long, and no one knew what would happen in the future. With Lin Feng's talent, perhaps there would be a chance to meet him in the future.
Or perhaps, one day, Lin Feng would become his disciple.
These were all unknowns.
"Let's go," Yan Qing said softly to his two disciples and then walked away.
"Next time, I won't lose to you again, Lin Feng." An Lu's eyes glowed with an unyielding spirit.
Qin Xiaoyu stared at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes. She didn't say anything and left with An Lu. Looking at the backs of the three, Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly. It was indeed a pity to lose Yan Qing, who had both fame and power.
Lin Feng suddenly smiled.
Misfortune was a blessing in disguise.
At least, there was another message on his star crystal watch.
Master Yan Qing.
"It's time to meet Yumo." Lin Feng's eyes flashed.
He had many questions to answer.
…
The inner city was about the same size as the outer city.
However, the population of the inner city was less than one-tenth of that of the outer city.
This was the true foundation of the Lin clan. The fourth level sub-branch martial artists, the third level sub-branch martial artists, and the second level sub-branch martial artists all lived here. The ranks and hierarchy were very clear. For example, the fourth grade secondary branch martial artists could only live in individual houses. The third grade secondary branch martial artists could live in villas. Only the second grade secondary branch martial artists could have their own mansions.
However, there were some exceptions.
For example, Lin Yumo lived in a garden house.
It was more luxurious than the independent houses, and the furnishings were no worse than the villas, but the "grade" was slightly lower.
This was a house specially prepared for the "special" members of the clan.
For example, Yumo was one of the two rising stars of the clan in this generation. Naturally, he had special treatment. As for Lin Feng, he might not have received special treatment, but now he was an artificer trained by the clan, so he also had this "special treatment."
Lin Feng smiled faintly. "It's really fate. I can't believe I became neighbors with my sister."
There was only a wall between his garden house and Yumo's garden house.
It was very close.
"Ding dong." Lin Feng smiled and pressed the doorbell.
