The Forest Region.
In the towering mountain range, a magnificent mountain gate was faintly discernible. Rich spirit energy floated between the mountain peaks, turning into billowing spirit energy. Many cultivators were flying around in an endless stream.
This was the mountain gate of the Lin Family, the core of the newly promoted first-class cultivation force of the Lin Family.
In one of the remote mountain forests, there was a simple courtyard built. The spirit energy here was not rich, but the scenery was beautiful. There was a small bridge over flowing water, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. This was not the core area of the Lin Family, but there were many formations nearby. Some could even kill without warning. It was one of the forbidden areas in the hearts of the Lin Family members.
"Madam, please be careful …"
"An 'er, where's my An' er … He must be playing games with me, hehehe … I want to find him, he must be hiding here …"
An old woman's voice was heard. She laughed foolishly, as if playing games with her son. She kept shuttling around the corners of the courtyard, looking for traces of her son.
"Hahaha, I found him. My An 'er is really here!"
The old woman found a doll that was taller than a person in the corner and hugged it happily, her face full of joy.
"Alright, don't cry. Mommy will hug you …"
The old woman patted the back of the doll and looked at it kindly, as if she was afraid that her son would go missing again if she was not careful.
At this moment, a white light landed outside the courtyard and turned into the handsome figure of a young man.
"Young Master Lin An, you're here?"
Seeing the white light, the servant girl immediately knew who had come. She rushed to the old woman and said in surprise, "Madam, Young Master Lin An is here. Look!"
At this moment, Lin An was standing outside the courtyard. Through the semicircular gate, he looked at the old woman sitting in the courtyard with the doll in her arms. The corners of his mouth curled up and he slowly smiled.
Unlike the usual Lin An, his smile was sincere and came from the bottom of his heart. He no longer had the arrogance of a peerless prodigy from Nakagawa, only the joy of seeing his family.
"Mother, I'm here!"
Lin An walked slowly into the courtyard and said softly, as if afraid of disturbing the old woman.
"An … An 'er …" Seeing Lin An walk over, the old woman seemed very surprised. She first looked at the doll in her arms, then raised her head to look at Lin An. Suddenly, she threw away the doll in her hands and pounced at Lin An.
"My An 'er … I've finally found you … An' er …"
Lin An carefully hugged his mother. Gentle spiritual energy emanated from his body, calming the old woman's emotions. "Mother, I'm here. I've always been here. You don't have to worry …"
When the maidservants saw this scene, they tactfully left carefully and did not disturb the mother and son's meeting.
As long as Lin An was in the Lin Family, he would come here almost every day if he wasn't in closed-door cultivation. As for why he didn't stay here often, it was because Lin An couldn't accompany his mother all the time. If his mother got used to having him by her side and he left, it would have a negative impact on her.
Hugging his mother, Lin An felt a rare sense of peace in his heart. Because of his mental state, many of the old woman's words were meaningless, but Lin An still listened patiently.
After a long while, Lin An spoke softly.
"Mother, I'm going to duel with someone tomorrow. His name is Hayashikawa. He's my half-brother. I don't know how it'll turn out …" Lin An patted the old woman's back gently as if coaxing a child.
However, it was clear that the old woman didn't understand what Lin An was saying.
"Mother, do you think I'll win or lose?"
Lin An asked.
However, the old woman only looked at Lin An kindly and didn't give any response.
"I think I'll probably lose. My brother is too powerful. He's so powerful that I don't dare to give him any more time to grow. Otherwise, I think I'll lose even more miserably. The peak of the Body Integration Stage is the limit I can reach now. If we both enter the Great Ascension Stage, I probably won't have any chance at all!" Lin An seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be complaining to his mother.
"But it's good that I lose. This way, I can let go of many things. Those responsibilities can all be handed over to Hayashikawa. When the time comes, I'll come back to accompany you and never leave again!" Lin An chuckled.
"It seems that the scene that I've always hoped for is finally coming to fruition. I should be happy!" Hayashikawa shook his head. His clear eyes fell on his mother's face, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again!" Lin An said softly.
After muttering to herself for a long time, the old woman seemed to be tired and fell asleep in Lin An's arms. Lin An waited for a while before taking off his robes and wrapping them around the old woman's body. He then called for a servant and turned to leave.
It was time for him to set off for the Great Si Lianshui.
Not long after Lin An left, a thin old man in black appeared in the courtyard. His eyes flickered as he opened and closed them. He carefully checked all the places in the courtyard, especially the place where Lin An had just stayed. After confirming that there was nothing special for a while, he left.
In the main hall of the Lin family, there were already many people waiting for Lin An, including the four emissaries of Daybreak. After the incident in the Immortal Ancient World, Daybreak was no longer a secret. This decisive battle was extremely important to Lin An. It was expected that Baili Chenle and the others would act together. In addition to the dead man, the rest were all elders and disciples of the Lin family. There were hundreds of people from the Great Vehicle Stage to the Void Training Stage.
"Let's go to the Dasi Rippling Water!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the space was torn apart. Lin An and all the cultivators in the main hall disappeared.
When they reappeared, they had already arrived at the Dasi Rippling Water.
"Lin An, you changed your clothes?"
Looking at Lin An, the Flower Emissary asked in surprise.
Lin An rarely changed his clothes. Unless something happened, he would always wear a few white robes. However, the Flower Emissary noticed that Lin An's clothes today were different from his usual clothes. The clothes he wore last time were the same ones they had worn when they came out of the Immortal Ancient Realm.
"Yes, I changed my clothes and also changed my luck. Maybe I'll win this time. Last time, I almost lost to Hayashikawa when I wore those clothes!" Lin An replied with a chuckle.
"Since when do you care about these things?" The Flower Emissary said in amusement. "But don't worry, I think you'll definitely win!"
"Then I'll count on your auspicious words! To be honest, I don't think I'll lose. Otherwise, I wouldn't have issued this challenge! "Lin An looked at the Dasi Rippling Water and said with a smile.
