C94

In the end, the Yang Hou left. Lin Xiao did not make things difficult for Ye Fan. The Saint Sun Sect was one of the top powers in the Sky Demon Region. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Xiao did not want to offend them.

As for whether the Duke of Yang would still remember him, everything was still unclear.

For the rest of the journey, there were no more iron-headed children like Yang Hou who came to cause trouble for Lin Xiao and the rest. They returned to Feng City unhindered.

Ye Qing and Ye Yihao left in a flurry of emotions. Her elder brother Ye Wentian had returned to the clan and was also one of the top hundred in the Sky Demon Region. As the successor of the Yu Shui Clan, she naturally couldn't miss such a happy occasion.

He needed to properly digest the insights he had gained from the battlefield, and he also had no such memory of that inexplicable Lin Jian. Thus, he needed to familiarize himself with the God King Sword, Lin Jian, and the Profound Mysteries of the Fifth Slash.

For seven days in a row, Lin Xiao locked herself in the cave and didn't see anyone, not even a drop of water. Since Lin Xuan had no one to play with, Lin Xiao had to go into seclusion and Xiao Qi had to concoct pills, so she had to pick up stones to build a wall.

Outside the cave, Lin Xuan's wall was already built to the size of a room. Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the city wall that she had painstakingly built crumbled just like that. However, Lin Xuan was not disappointed. Instead, her small face was full of excitement.

Lin Xiao came out of seclusion.

The entire cave was directly blown into smithereens. Sand and rocks tumbled down, and Lin Xiao held her sword as she rushed out from within. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. In his heart, he could not help but praise the person who had forged the sword; it was as if this God King Sword had been specially forged for him.

"With father's Divine King Sword, there's no need for Little Flame." Lin Yan opened his mouth quietly while floating in the air. His voice was sour and it was hard to hide the jealousy in his tone.

Shaking his head, he said, "The Divine King's Sword is not as good as Sister Yan's Desolation Flame for now. If I were to use the Profound Truths of the Five Slashes, I might be able to suppress Sister Yan a little, but the repercussions will be huge. It's too useless."

Lin Xiao was also used to these two little fellows, so she let them bicker.

"Big brother." Lin Xuan immediately pounced over and was lifted up by Lin Xiao, spinning a few rounds in the air.

"Xuanxuan, let's go. Big brother will bring you back to Dragon City." Lin Xiao had already told Lin Xuan about this matter. She was naturally very happy to be able to see Grandpa Jiao and the rest.

Xiao Qi seemed to have received some sort of excitement these days and was basically concocting pills. Lin Xiao knew that she could not interfere with refining pills. She told Xiao Qi in the monster box that he and Lin Xuan had gone to Dragon City before leaving the cave.

Along the way, Lin Xuan was very excited and she danced about. In the end, she fell asleep on Lin Xiao's lap, exhausted from playing.

Upon arriving at Dragon City, Lin Xiao did not immediately look for Jiao. Instead, she carried the sleeping Lin Xuan to her friend, Wang Hai's home.

After a month of not seeing Lin Xiao again, Wang Hai was very excited to see Lin Xuan again. He put Lin Xuan in his bedroom to rest, and Wang Hai picked up two bags of crayfish and started drinking. The two of them were eating and drinking like this, talking about recent events.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Hai was a little drunk. He took out a cigarette but was rejected by Lin Xiao. He hadn't touched this thing in a long time, so he could just quit.

Complaining that Lin Xiao was ungrateful, Wang Hai lit one himself and told Lin Xiao about the changes in Dragon City. Recently, a developer took a fancy to the vicinity of Wang Haiju and wanted to develop it into a restaurant. This area could not be demolished, after all, there were schools and hospitals nearby. However, the developer had connections in the government and had obtained permission from the officials to develop it.

"Sure, let's move out." Lin Xiao teased him with a smile, but what he got instead was Wang Hai's sigh.

He would have been willing to move into a new house if it was really a demolition job, but the developer was stingy. The price they offered the nearby residents was too low and they couldn't afford to buy their own house.

"I have to put my life on the line to buy this house. I had to borrow money from the bank. The demolition fee isn't even enough for me to repay the loan. How are people supposed to survive when I have debts and no residences?" Wang Hai took a few puffs and said, "Black hearted developer, we can't not move. We found a bunch of people from the underworld to form a demolition team, whoever doesn't want to move will be destroyed. It's going to be my turn soon."

Lin Xiao was silent. This sort of matter was known to everyone. Without the protection of a high ranking official, how could these hooligans be so arrogant? It seemed that some officials had obtained many benefits from the unscrupulous developers.

"Hai Yang, I'll help you with this matter." Lin Xiao patted Wang Hai's shoulder. How could he watch his brother get displaced?

"Can you?" Wang Hai asked in confusion. Then, as if he had thought of something, he smacked his head and laughed, but there was a hint of loneliness in his smile as he said, "I almost forgot. Lin Xiao, you are already an immortal now."

Immortal? However, to an ordinary person, he was indeed an immortal. However, Wang Hai's words caused Lin Xiao's heart to feel very uncomfortable. He did not know how to comfort Wang Hai, but was it possible that he was also destined to die?

"Hai Yang, in front of you, I am no immortal. I am your brother. I am your university classmate, Lin Xiao."

Seeing Lin Xiao's resolute expression, Wang Hai was stunned. A trace of gratitude appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

"I know, you are my brother Lin Xiao. You have always been one. Come and drink with me."

In the end, Wang Hai fell drunk, lying on the sofa and talking nonsense that even Lin Xiao didn't understand. Lin Xiao carried him to the sofa and covered him with a blanket, and after cleaning up the dining table, she sat to the side and looked at Wang Hai.

This old classmate of his was really tired of society. He had no background, no wealth, and could only live at the bottom. Even though he was trembling in fear as he worked diligently, he was still bullied by others.

She remembered that Lin Xiao, who had just stepped into society, firmly believed in one sentence: Birth cannot decide the future, and hard work and hard work can make a happy life.

Even now, Lin Xiao still believed these words. But why wasn't these words effective on his brother?

Was it because he wasn't diligent enough? No, Wang Haihai went to work as soon as the sun rose. At night, he only got off work after midnight or even after dawn. He only ate instant noodles during lunch time, and then forced himself to work after a few minutes. It wasn't that Lin Xiao didn't know about this, but he was still a poor diaosi.

Was it because he didn't have the ability? "No, Wang Hai graduated from Dragon City University with excellent grades. He could be said to be a talent, and should be fought for wherever he goes. However, the truth is that those with poor grades have already found good jobs in their relationships, and he could only abandon his status as a top student and live in a small company as a clerk.

The Heavens have never been fair, Lin Xiao thought to himself as he also laughed. He laughed at himself for naively believing that those rich second generations would definitely not be as diligent and hardworking as him. This was because he was a talent, and those people were just useless.

However, the truth was the exact opposite, because those people had an overbearing father.

YangHou was a good example. If the other party stopped him in his tracks and stepped on his face, the consequences would have been obvious. The Yang Hou was so despicable, but in the end Lin Xiao still let him go. Why? He couldn't afford to offend the Sun Holy Gate.

It was impossible for him to be strong alone. Two fists was no match for four hands. Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with an illusionary light, he needed his own power.
