On the way back to the Lin family, Lin Qingshan proposed to send more people to protect Lin Long. The anger that Luo Xiong showed before made Lin Qingshan not dare to take it lightly.
Lin Long rejected Lin Qingshan's proposal because Zhang Shi and Zhang Zhi were already enough. It would be useless to add more people.
He didn't want a group of people to follow him. He didn't like it.
Of course, the most important thing was that he didn't think that Luo Xiong would choose the same approach as Luo Han when Luo Han made a mistake. He felt that Luo Xiong should deal with him in the martial arts competition.
Another thing was that Luo Xiong was being closely watched by the big families, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
After returning to his courtyard, Lin Long took out the piece of porcelain he got in the market. He studied it before going to the party in the market, but he didn't get any results yet.
Linlong carefully looked at the porcelain in his hand. After looking at it for a while, he took out a dagger and gently scraped the porcelain. After that, he hung a bit of powder on the porcelain and put it into a glassware. Then, he put in a suitable medicinal liquid.
At this time, his room had completely turned into a refining room, with all kinds of utensils in it.
After repeating this many times, Lin Long's eyes lit up because he found that he had found the right medicinal liquid.
After that, he, who had concocted enough medicinal liquid, gently smeared it on the palm-sized porcelain piece. As the medicinal liquid dried and was absorbed by the porcelain piece, many crisscrossing lines vaguely appeared on the originally smooth porcelain piece.
"Sure enough!" Lin Long suddenly laughed wildly.
He could now see that these lines were part of some kind of pattern, and this part was obviously related to the ruins he was looking for.
Because the map of the ruins was also found on a porcelain, and the method of hiding the map was similar to this piece of porcelain. The most important thing was that the porcelain was damaged.
Because of this kind of damage, the person who obtained the porcelain did not immediately find the ruins. Instead, it took a lot of effort to find the ruins.
In other words, this piece of porcelain was most likely on the porcelain.
Once he got first place and obtained the porcelain, Lin Long would be able to find the exact location of the ruins.
The reason why Linlong noticed this piece of porcelain was because it looked very old. Coupled with its special structure, it was twice as thick as ordinary porcelain pieces.
He didn't expect that he would make such a discovery after trying it out by accident.
The most important thing now was to find if there were any other broken pieces. After all, he couldn't guarantee that only one piece was missing.
With that thought in mind, Lin Long left a note in the room and quietly snuck out of the Lin family. He did not want anyone to know about this, nor did he want everyone in the Lin family to know that he had left.
People are afraid of fame as pigs are afraid of being fat.
Fortunately, Lin Long kept an eye out and remembered the vendor's appearance. Therefore, it didn't take him long to find the vendor in the market.
The sky had already turned dark. Fortunately, the other party did not intend to return home tonight. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Lin Long to find him.
What made Linlong speechless was that the other party did not know much about the porcelain shard either. All he knew was that it was left behind by his father. As for the rest, he was completely clueless.
Helpless, Lin Long could only give him some money and search his house, but he still did not find anything.
Lin Long could only put this matter aside. If there really were other porcelain shards, he would look for them again. He was not afraid that others would find him because everything he did now was very covert. It was impossible for anyone to find out.
After returning home, everything was as usual. No one noticed that he had left.
What warmed his heart was that at this time, Xiao Die was lying on the stone bench outside his room, dozing off. Beside her was a tray with a stew pot on it. There was some steam coming out of it, and the steam was accompanied by waves of saliva-inducing meat fragrance.
This little girl was busy helping this young master nourish his body in the middle of the night. Lin Long smiled slightly.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Lin Long bent down and picked her up, then carried her into her room.
After covering her with the quilt, the little girl suddenly shouted, "Young Master, don't leave Xiao Die!"
This girl was probably having a nightmare. Lin Long felt a trace of warmth in his heart.
After looking at Xiao Die and feeling that she was fine, he gently closed the door and walked out.
…
In the next few days, Lin Long worked hard as usual. As he worked hard, the martial arts competition in Chu Xi Town quietly approached.
On the day of the martial arts competition, the Lin family's patriarch personally led about 100 people from the Lin family to Chu Xi Town's market place.
Among the 100 people, there were only about 10 people who participated in the competition. They were all youths from the Lin family who were under 20 years old. In the past, these youths had followed Lin Yu's lead, but it was different now. Now, the Lin family's spearhead had been replaced by Lin Long.
Unlike facing Lin Yu, these youths clearly felt a strong sense of oppression when facing Lin Long. Therefore, they basically did not dare to talk to Lin Long. Instead, they looked at him from afar with respectful expressions on their faces.
Lin Long is indeed the person who defeated Zhou Mingzhi. The aura on his body is really too strong. That was what most people thought.
However, some people felt that Lin Long was simply putting on an act because he had a little bit of strength.
Of course, if they knew that Lin Long did not care about them at all, if they knew that Lin Long's previous self was Emperor Wu who had killed countless experts, they would not think that way.
The market was very lively that day. There were lanterns and colored banners everywhere. After all, this was Chu Xi Town's annual competition. It could be said that this day was like a festival to them.
The first day of the competition did not begin. Instead, they were divided into groups to draw lots. In principle, the stronger ones would meet the weaker ones first. People from the same family would not meet in the first or second round.
There were a total of four groups. Each group had about 15 to 18 people. In the end, the two strongest people in each group would enter the top eight.
The drawing of lots was obviously a little boring, so Lin Long did not pay attention to the entire process. He only began to pay attention when the names were read out.
Lin Long was in the first group. When the first group's name list was read out, Zhang Zhi could not help but analyze it for him.
"Young Master Lin Long, other than you, the strongest person in the first group is the Fang family's Fangzheng …"
When Fangzheng was mentioned, Lin Long, who recalled Fangzheng's previous appearance, looked up slightly at the Fang family's formation not far away. He saw a gaze that had been watching him hurriedly shift elsewhere.
Lin Long could not help but smile. This was because the owner of the gaze was Fangzheng. From the looks of it, the trauma left in Fangzheng's heart was just too great.
"The Zhou family's Zhou Yi, Second Miss Su, Su Qingqing …" Zhang Zhi's voice continued sounding in Lin Long's ears.
"It's all these people? From the looks of it, I'll be entering the top eight without doing anything," Lin Long said lightly.
