Lin Zhengren had been cultivating in the National Academy, and he rarely came back to the Lin family in Wangjiang City.
How cautious must a person be to set up a formation in a room that he didn't usually live in? And there were two of them at once!
He was probably worried that something would happen to him at all times and kept a way out for himself.
If it weren't for the sudden encounter tonight, Jiang Wang believed that it would be very difficult for him to catch Lin Zhengren. Lin Zhengren was so cunning and cautious.
If it was against an ordinary opponent, the first Water Dragon Formation would be enough.
Today, it could still attract Jiang Wang's attention and buy time for Lin Zhengren.
And the Wall of Water and the Plowing Horn were a perfect match.
If it were any other powerhouse that the Plowing Horn could contact, Jiang Wang could choose to quickly break the formation and kill him before leaving calmly.
But if that person was Du Ruhui …
Jiang Wang couldn't help but sigh.
Putting everything else aside, it was a great blessing for the Zhuang Country to have a powerhouse like Du Ruhui who was so close yet so far and who cared about his country!
How many powerhouses could he be compared to!
"If you don't believe me. You can take a gamble and see if I can really contact the State Minister immediately. If you win, you will kill me without any benefits. If you lose, you will be hunted down by the State Minister and pay with your life for me! "
Lin Zhengren looked straight at Jiang Wang. "Sir, do you want to take a gamble?"
He actually still had a few protective magic artifacts on him, but their level was not high enough to make the other party more cautious, so he didn't take them out as a bargaining chip. On the contrary, if he continued to hide, he might be able to deal with accidents.
"Then why haven't you activated it?" Jiang Wang also looked into Lin Zhengren's eyes.
Both sides were testing each other's determination.
Although in terms of strength, Lin Zhengren was no match for Jiang Wang. But with his ruthlessness and caution, he once again won the right to fight!
"It's not easy to make the Plowing Horn, and it won't be used again without great merit. I've already lost a lot tonight, and I don't want to lose any more. "
Lin Zhengren said slowly, "However, considering the duration of the Wall of Water at this intensity, I'll give you ten minutes. After ten breaths at most, I will directly play the Plowing Horn. "
He turned around to stare at Jiang Wang. Even though he could not see Jiang Wang's face through the mask, it was as if he wanted to carve this man's face into his heart. "Now, it's your turn to make the choice. Do you want to stay here and try to kill me, or do you want to run away immediately? "
Jiang Wang was silent.
Time passed slowly but determinedly.
Separated by the flowing water barrier, the two of them faced each other in silence.
Eight breaths, seven breaths, six breaths … three breaths …
Jiang Wang raised his hand high, and the flame in his palm blasted a huge hole in the roof. Through the hole, he flew away without saying a word.
Lin Zhengren was indeed a formidable opponent, but Jiang Wang was not worth risking his life for.
He chose to give up.
…
In the end, the mysterious man wearing the mountain ghost mask left.
Lin Zhengren was alone in the room for a long time before he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took a few steps back and fell into a chair.
Tonight was probably the biggest crisis he had ever faced in his life. Because he was completely unprepared, he encountered a sudden encounter, and he was suddenly hostile. Moreover, the other party had the advantage of overwhelming strength.
But in the end, he still managed to get through this terrifying crisis.
Even though … the price he paid was so heavy.
In the room where there was no one around, Lin Zhengren closed his eyes and forced back a tear that was about to fall.
Was he sad?
No matter how much of a trash Lin Zhengli was, no matter how vicious he was, he was still his younger brother. The two of them grew up together, and naturally, there were times when they were innocent and naive. There were times when they were truly brothers …
How could he not be sad?
But Lin Zhengren only allowed his sadness to linger in that moment, because tonight was not over yet.
He opened his eyes, got up, and walked out. His expression had already become very calm.
When he reached the door, he stopped.
Because there was a white-haired old man standing outside the door, leaning on a cane.
He was the head of the Lin Clan, his grandfather.
Lin Zhengren opened his mouth. "Grandfather."
He was a precocious person. Since he was very young, he had looked down on his father. His name was Lin Duanxing, but he was neither decent nor incompetent. Other than drinking and playing with women, he didn't know anything else. He was a good-for-nothing.
And the person he was closest to since he was young was this white-haired old man in front of him, his grandfather.
His grandfather was an extremely scheming person. The Lin Clan of Wangjiang City, which was once unknown, grew up in his grandfather's hands and became the leader of the clans in Wangjiang City.
Perhaps because he was too disappointed in Lin Duanxing, his grandfather was personally in charge of his and his younger brother's education since they were young.
People's hearts, tactics, business … He had learned a lot from this old man.
Compared to the irresponsible Lin Duanxing, his grandfather had really poured his life's work into the family.
The white-haired old man stood alone outside Lin Zhengren's door without any attendants.
When the Lin Clan members surrounded the courtyard and shouted at Jiang Wang, he didn't appear.
When Lin Zhengli was forced to jump into the well, he didn't appear.
But at this moment, he appeared outside Lin Zhengren's room.
If there was anyone in the entire Lin Clan who could truly understand Lin Zhengren, it was only his grandfather.
He looked at Lin Zhengren. In his turbid eyes, there was wisdom given by time.
"Have you thought it through?" he asked.
Lin Zhengren fell silent.
Although he had made up his mind, he still hesitated in front of his grandfather.
"I'm asking you if you've thought it through?" The old man tapped the ground with his cane to urge him.
Lin Zhengren lowered his head and raised it again. His eyes became firm. "Grandfather, I can't bear such a reputation."
"Zhengren, on one hand, I'm very disappointed in you. On the other hand, I'm very satisfied with you. "
The old man's white hair trembled in the night wind. His expression was a little sad. "I look forward to your future. At the same time, I'm sad for Zhengli. Although he's not as good as you, even his ruthlessness is not as good as yours. "
"Grandfather …" Lin Zhengren opened his mouth.
The old man raised his hand and interrupted him. "Go, make the choice you think is right. I'll deal with Duanxing. Patricide … will be punished by the heavens. "
They all understood very well that once the matter of Lin Zhengren forcing his own brother to kill was exposed, Lin Zhengren would no longer have a future at the National Academy.
No matter how dark or dirty the world was, at least during the day, everyone needed to see sunlight.
And with so many people present tonight, this secret would be very difficult to keep. With Lin Duanxing's personality, there was even less hope that he would consider the "big picture". So there was actually only one choice …
This choice was the reason for the old man's disappointment, but also the reason for his satisfaction.
Lin Zhengren gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
"Lin Zhengren," the old man said behind him. "Never forget what the Lin family has done for you. Never forget that your surname is Lin. In the underworld, I want to see a glorious Lin family! "
Lin Zhengren's footsteps only paused for a moment before he continued forward.
… …
Night.
A demon barged into Wangjiang City's Dao Academy at night, forcing the Dao technique Rotten Wood Art. At that time, Lin Zhengren, one of the six heroes of the National Academy, had also participated in the pursuit of the demon.
Unexpectedly, the demon had actually infiltrated the Lin clan's territory and … wiped out the entire Wangjiang City's Lin family.
