Shiluo County.
At this moment, it was very lively.
All the strong people were nervously preparing for the battle.
The groupings for the first round of the preliminaries were already out. Although the Cosmic Realm states who directly participated in the preliminaries did not get a bye in the first round, the 10,000 people who qualified after the baptism of the preliminaries would fight each other in pairs. It was indeed a real fight, and there was no luck to speak of.
To be able to continuously pass the qualifying rounds and the qualifying rounds, none of them were weak!
They were at least Star Lord Rank 9, and most of them were peak Star Lord Rank. Even Star Lord Rank 8 was very rare.
Most importantly, no one knew how strong their opponents were. Perhaps the "information" from a year ago could be investigated, but a lot of things could happen in a year. The strength of a martial artist fluctuated greatly. The reward for passing the preliminaries was a key to the Star Realm state. As long as a peak Star Lord entered, they would have a great chance of breaking through!
The probability was very high!
For example, among the eight warriors of the Lin clan who made it to the preliminaries, Lin Fan and Lin Yumo both reached the Star Realm state.
…
Lin clan.
At this moment, they were nervously preparing.
Unlike the preliminaries, the Lin clan put all their energy into the "elites" after entering the preliminaries. Of the eight people who made it to the preliminaries, six of them had been strategically "abandoned". If they couldn't break through to the Star Realm state with such a good opportunity, they would probably have no hope in their lives.
They might be lucky enough to make it to the first round, but what about the second round?
Not to mention the third and fourth rounds.
Their opponents would get stronger and stronger!
The absolute difference in strength could not be made up for by simply using astral treasures and astral weapons.
The focus of the clan was on Lin Fan and Lin Yumo. Together with Lin Zhan, Lin Molong, and Lin Jiaorao, who were already Star Realm states, the Lin clan's strength was not bad on paper. They were only slightly weaker than the Wu clan in the Qianluo District.
Compared to the Evil Dragon Gang and the Qingyun Brothel, they were on par or even stronger!
But …
"Yumo, that little girl, is still in seclusion?" Lin Zhen smiled bitterly.
"Sigh …" Lin Yan let out a long sigh. His old eyes dimmed. "In this world, the most difficult thing is love."
Lin Zhen frowned and nodded, "Indeed, back then, he also possessed the second grade eye, the Dark Spirit Eye, and was already one of the top three experts in the clan at a young age. Moreover, what's even rarer is that he's proficient in the art of refining. Within the clan, he's only inferior to you, Yan Lao. "
Lin Yan slowly said, "If he were still alive, he would definitely be the brightest star of the Lin clan."
As their gazes met, both of them couldn't help but sigh.
"The past is like smoke." Lin Zhen shook his head in surprise and looked at Lin Yan. "Back to the topic, Yan Lao. Tomorrow is the first round of the preliminaries, and Yumo still hasn't come out of seclusion. Could it be …"
"It shouldn't be." Lin Yan stroked his long beard, his expression serious. "I watched Yumo grow up. Back then, even when the clan underwent such a huge change, it didn't crush him. Instead, it became his motivation. This time, although Lin Feng's death was a huge blow to him, it's still not as bad as back then. Clan Leader, you can rest assured. "
Lin Zhen let out a long sigh. "I hope so."
…
Inner city's northern district.
Indeed, it was just as Lin Yan said.
At this time, Lin Yumo had already come out of seclusion.
For an entire year, other than activating the 'key' to become a Star Sector-level expert and participating in the clan's celebratory banquet, Lin Yumo didn't leave the house at all. He was practically in seclusion all the time. Whether it was Lin Fan or Yu Yunlong, they were all rejected.
Even Clan Leader Lin Zhen and Master Lin Yan were no exception.
Her heart had long been shattered.
Expressionless, the current Lin Yumo was even colder than before. It was a kind of indifference that came from the bottom of his heart, as if life had lost its luster. Even she herself didn't know when Lin Feng had occupied such an important position in her heart.
Many things were destined to happen.
"Miss, it's time to eat," Steward Wu said respectfully.
Lin Yumo nodded lightly. That flawless crystal-like face hid a heart-wrenching sadness, causing Steward Wu to sigh softly in his heart. This year, his Miss had suffered too much 'pain'. That was a kind of mental torture. No one knew it better than him.
This kind of pain was far more difficult to heal than physical injuries.
But, what could he do?
Standing quietly behind Lin Yumo, Steward Wu adhered to the etiquette of a steward. He absolutely shouldn't ask what he shouldn't ask and shouldn't pry into his master's secrets. To him, to be able to 'serve' his Miss again was already a great honor. After a full twenty years.
Suddenly —
"Pa!" "Pa pa ~" A series of sounds came from outside the mansion. Lin Yumo instantly raised her head. Her beautiful face was slightly surprised. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and her breathing quickened slightly. "It's the sound of firecrackers. Steward Wu, go and see what happened."
"Yes, Miss." Steward Wu bowed and ran out.
Soon, Steward Wu returned.
"Miss," Steward Wu was out of breath. "It's the sound of firecrackers coming from Young Master Lin Feng's mansion." Steward Wu's breathing calmed down slightly. A slight breeze seemed to pass by his ears. "I heard that Young Master Lin Feng died almost a year ago. I wonder if there's any good news …"
As he raised his head, Steward Wu said doubtfully. Then, his voice suddenly stopped.
Where was his Miss in front of him?
…
…
Lin Feng's mansion.
It was a scene of celebration and joy.
Lin Feng's sudden appearance stunned Steward Guan Zhong for a few seconds. It wasn't until Lin Feng greeted him with a smile that Guan Zhong shouted excitedly, causing the originally lifeless mansion to be filled with laughter and liveliness.
The sound of firecrackers rose and fell, celebrating the return of their 'master'.
In the past year, Lin Feng's mansion could be said to be lifeless. It was like a flower without water, dying. If it wasn't for the ten thousand year contract signed between Lin Feng and the Lin clan, even this mansion would have been taken back. After all, once Lin Feng died, what value did the remaining servants have?
But now, it was like a sweet dew after a long drought!
Their leader had returned!
"Great, Young Master, this is really great." Guan Zhong kept smiling. It was a silly smile, but he was happier than anyone else.
It wasn't only because after Lin Feng returned, Guan Qing and Guan En could continue to 'live'. More importantly, during this period of time, he had already regarded Lin Feng as his family. He named his twin daughters' En 'and' Qing 'in order to remember Lin Feng's kindness to their family.
"How is it? Have Xiao En and Xiao Qing been fine this year?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
He looked behind Guan Zhong. The two little girls were hugging Guan Zhong's thighs and looking at him curiously with their big black eyes. It felt like a year had passed in the blink of an eye. The two little girls had grown up a lot.
"It's fine. With the pure yang jade, Xiao En and Xiao Qing are very healthy." Guan Zhong smiled and said, "Moreover, Young Master left 500 star crystals before entering the Green Field Immortal Track. It's enough."
Lin Feng nodded and felt relieved.
Fortunately, he left some money in the mansion. Otherwise, Xiao Qing and Xiao En would be in trouble after he left for a year.
Although the pure yang jade was good, he still needed the Extreme Yang Soul Returning Pill.
However …
"I don't know if these hundreds of star fruits will be of any help to Xiao En and Xiao Qing." Lin Feng pondered.
If it could cure the root of the problem, it would be worth it to pay a small price.
Lin Feng would never be calculative with his own people.
Just as he was about to speak, Guan Zhong suddenly thought of something and hastily said, "By the way, Young Master, during this year, Miss Yumo would come to the mansion every three to five days. She …" He didn't finish his sentence. Guan Zhong was experienced and naturally understood.
Lin Yumo didn't give up on a person who was considered 'dead' in the outside world.
Even if she left in disappointment and secretly shed tears every time, Lin Yumo never gave up even the slightest bit of hope.
This persistence and this sincerity were enough to show!
"Yumo." Lin Feng's eyes flickered. He was quite touched.
Just as he expected, the person who was most worried about him was Yumo.
Although there were some misunderstandings in the past, they were family after all. Blood was thicker than water. After all, the people who cared about him the most were his family members.
Just as he was thinking …
Suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
In the distance, a gust of wind whistled. The person who came didn't hide her aura at all. She was extremely anxious. That aura was filled with urgency and uneasiness, mixed with a thick sense of hope. Lin Feng's heart was stirred. He smiled faintly, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint smile.
While he was thinking, Yumo arrived.
In an instant, a beautiful figure stopped in front of him.
Her beautiful face was full of disbelief as she stared at Lin Feng. Her delicate body seemed to be trembling. Her beautiful eyes were wide open and her full chest was undulating. Guan Zhong smiled knowingly and left with his two daughters. At this moment, he shouldn't stay here.
A competent steward should know when to advance and when to retreat.
Lin Feng smiled. Looking at the familiar beautiful face, he opened his arms. "Yumo, I'm back."
It was a simple sentence, but it was like a sharp sword that pierced Yumo's chest. A year of suppression, torture, and pain in her heart all exploded at this moment. Tears streamed down Lin Yumo's cheeks, but a bright smile bloomed on her face like dew after the rain.
"Lin Da Ge!!" With a happy smile mixed with tears, Lin Yumo flew into Lin Feng's open arms. She tightly hugged the body of her dreams. There was no hiding of her emotions, no shyness. There was only joy and excitement that could no longer be hidden.
For Yumo, at this moment, nothing was important to her.
Hugging the person she loved the most, it was as if she had the whole world.
She wasn't willing to let go.
"Don't leave me again, Lin Da Ge." Yumo softly murmured. Her clear voice was enough to melt all ice.
"Okay." Lin Feng smiled and hugged Lin Yumo. He lovingly stroked her little head.
Her body language was more real and touching than any words.
He had indeed worried her for the past year.
