Lin Xuanzi opened the window and looked outside. He couldn't help but marvel at how big 'Iron Sword Villa' was! And the scenery was beautiful.

The night was getting darker, and everything was quiet. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow over, causing the willow forest in front to dance in the wind.

However, Lin Xuanzi was not sleepy at all.

He slowly walked to the table and sat down.

The room was brightly lit by the pale yellow pine oil lamps. But it was also very warm.

Lin Xuanzi stared at the lamp as his thoughts raced. He frowned.

"How is this possible? Thirty years ago, the 'Allfiend Saint Hand' had become a nightmarish memory in the martial arts world, and it had long been forgotten by the people. And now, the martial arts world has appeared again? " Lin Xuanzi could not believe what Tie Xiaoyun had said in the day. Even now, he still didn't believe it.

And these few words, in Lin Xuanzi's heart, were not only representative of a demonic martial arts or a bloody history of martial arts. To him, to the Lin Family, it represented a heavy humiliation and hatred that had accumulated in the hearts of this generation!

So many years had passed, and from the bottom of his heart, his heart had become tranquil with the passing of that piece of history. It was like nothing had ever happened.

He clearly remembered when he was five years old, his father who was famous in the martial arts world, what kind of pride and happiness he had then! After the appearance of the "Allfiend Saint Hand", he and his elder brother had been orphaned! In the many years that followed, he and his brother would bear a lot of blood tears and hatred! Just as he vowed to cleanse his father of his shame before the time was ripe, the demon that he had hated for so many years had already become an eternal wound, a history that gradually faded out of his memories.

From then on, he learned to be patient. Forgiveness and tolerance. He had also learned how to calm himself down.

This period of quietness lasted for more than twenty years.

What kind of love, hate, and hatred have not been worn away in more than twenty years? No! Surely not!

But when a kind of pain that had become a memory began again, the pain was even more intense than before!

Lin Xuanzi was experiencing such pain!

He clearly remembered the time when his elder brother risked his life to seek revenge, and how he painstakingly tried to persuade him. After so many years, when the past was no longer a thing of the past, Lin Xuanzi thought the pain had been gone.

But today, he realized that he was wrong. And it was a big mistake. Because at this moment, his heart was in extreme pain! A heart-wrenching pain, almost suffocating!

He thought of his father. Even though he didn't see his father leave, he could feel the incomparable pain. Ye Zichen thought of his big brother and his sister-in-law. He still did not understand why those people did not give the Lin Family a chance to survive. After thinking for many years, he still couldn't think of a reason. He also thought of Yang Chentian, that companion and brother that he had grown up with. Other than being sincere, he also didn't understand why this world's kind-hearted and loyal people were never rewarded.

From what he had seen or heard today, he had come to realize that there were many people or things in this world that didn't require many reasons. To be too kind or too loyal is to dig a grave for yourself!

Hot blood spewed out. Lin Xuanzi felt dizzy. He quickly took a deep breath and slowly walked to the window. A gust of cold wind blew over, instantly clearing his mind.

Suddenly, a white light flashed. Lin Xuanzi was shocked! With a wave of his right sleeve, he grabbed onto something, but it felt soft. He lowered his head and opened his palm, "Er —" It turned out to be a small cotton ball. It even had the fragrance of makeup.

"Hmm?" Lin Xuanzi felt extremely strange.

"Hey! – Big Brother Lin! –" A low voice came from outside the window. Hearing it, it sounded familiar. Lin Xuanzi leaned over to look out the window. He saw a girl smiling and waving at him. Who else could it be?

Lin Xuanzi's face unconsciously turned hot.

"Hey!" Big brother Lin! Come down! Come down! "Come on," he saw Tie Ruyi waving her hand and calling out to him in a low voice.

"Ah?" Lin Xuanzi turned his head to look at his surroundings. It was completely silent, as if he had already fallen asleep. This girl hadn't slept at all this late at night, so why was she telling him to go down and do it? However, he felt extremely embarrassed in his heart.

"Hurry up! "Brother Lin!" Tie Ruyi was still waving her hand.

"Er — — wait a minute — —" Lin Xuanzi's face was flushed red as he greeted them. He turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey!" Lin Xuanzi turned back to the window when he heard Tie Rujie's voice again.

"Jump down from there!" Iris waved hard at the window.

"Ah?" From here? " "When Lin Xuanzi heard that Tie Shuangmei wanted him to jump out the window, he felt very awkward. Isn't that the same as being a thief? " Her face was red to the point of her neck.

"I'm fine!" "Heeheeheehee ~ ~" Seeing Lin Xuanzi's stupefied look, Rui-Mei immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

Lin Xuanzi looked around and thought that this was also a good idea. He went downstairs so as not to disturb the people inside the house. It was just that he had never done such a thing before, so he felt guilty about doing such a thing.

It seemed like it wouldn't be good to end tonight if he didn't see Iris like that. He hesitated for a moment, then moved his body and landed in front of Rui Mei.

"Wah!" Big brother Lin! Your Qing Gong is simply too cool! " When she saw Lin Xuanzi floating down from the window, she was stunned. His almond eyes were burning as he stared at Lin Xuanzi.

"Err .. Miss Lin, this is .." Lin Xuanzi's hair stood on end from being stared at by Tie Rukuang. He quickly turned his head to look at his surroundings. "Why aren't you sleeping now? It's already late at night .." After spitting out these words for a long time, he didn't dare look at her.

"Heeheeheeheeheeheehee" Iron Rui laughed out loud at Lin Xuanzi's appearance, "Hey, come with me —" She then grabbed Lin Xuanzi's hand and turned to walk towards the willow forest.

Lin Xuanzi only felt his palm heat up as a slippery sensation spread throughout his body. He was stunned for a moment before sweat began to form on his forehead.

"Ah?" Brother Lin, are you cold? " When she thought that Lin Xuanzi was cold, she immediately turned around and looked at him with concern.

Err .. no, it's not cold .." Lin Xuanzi had never come into contact with a girl before. The feeling of hugging this flower-like girl in his arms that day still made him excited. Who would have thought that she would be holding her own hand now? A sweet fragrance wafted from her side. She felt like she was about to be drunk, so how could she say anything. He followed her mechanically, one deep and one shallow, into the depths of the willow forest. However, when he turned back and looked around, he kept saying to himself that he mustn't let Old Senior Tie or Tie Wushuang see him. Now, he had a real feeling that being a thief was also a painful thing!

"Sigh!" At last he heard Iris say.

Lin Xuanzi took a closer look and discovered that there was a huge lake in front of him. At this moment, he was at the lakeside. The willow trees are shady here. There was a small pavilion right next to it.

"Big Brother Lin, let's take a seat over there — —" Tie Ruidao pointed towards the pavilion and pulled Lin Xuanzi's hand as they walked over.

"Urgh .."

He finally let go of his hand and sat down by the stone table! Lin Xuanzi let out a long breath, but his face was still very hot! His eyes looked left and right from time to time.

"Pfft!" Borileimu's gaze never left Lin Xuanzi for even a second since he sat down. Seeing Lin Xuanzi's appearance, she had never expected that a man was actually so timid.

"Sigh!" "Big brother Lin .."

"Ugh .." "Ai!" Hearing Tie Rukuang's cries, Lin Xuanzi immediately withdrew his gaze and looked towards her.

This thought did not matter, but Lin Xuanzi became even more agitated. He'd never seen this girl before, but when he looked at her closely now, he realized that she was much prettier than anything he'd seen before. The lake was covered with red lanterns, and by the dim light of the lamp, he saw Rui Mei with her hair tied up in a gold hairpin, wearing a light green velvet skirt and a purple cape. She had long, curved eyebrows, and her long eyelashes flashed as she looked around, her oval face pale and rosy, her long nose tall, and her cherry lips showing two rows of white jade teeth as she smiled at him; her curvy chest was curvy, and her white jade hands were placed on the stone table right under his eyelids, fiddling with it .. Lin Xuanzi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this! His eyes darted to the lake ahead. "Yet, his mouth uttered a 'oh'!

"Haha..." Rui Mei couldn't stand anymore as she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Ahh! – Brother Lin! –" Iron Cliff raised his right hand and waved it in front of Lin Xuanzi's face. One of his hands supported his chin as he looked at Lin Xuanzi with affection in his eyes.

"Where is your hometown?"

Seeing that Lin Xuanzi was being so timid, Rui-Mei immediately changed the subject.

"Er — ah, heh heh — my hometown —" Lin finally mustered up the courage to look at Rui-mei. "In Fujian — heh heh!" After saying that, he began rubbing his hands under the table.

Ah!" I heard from my father that Fujian is a good place — "Tie Ruyi's eyes lit up, as if she was very interested in Fujian.

"Hmm, not bad, but..." Lin Xuanzi looked up and around, "Compared to you guys, it's still far from good .." "Hehe .." With these two lines, Lin Xuanzi was no longer as nervous.

"Then why are you in Shandong again?" There was no end to the subject.

"Er — My master is in Penglai —"

"Oh! — — That's the 'Free and Unrestrained Immortal' that father mentioned? Is your master really a deity? I heard that Penglai is the place where the immortals live! "

"Haha .." Lin Xuanzi was actually amused, "What is this .." Just like us. The gods and the immortals were all legends. They could not be trusted. "Haha .."

Seeing Lin Xuanzi's smile, Rui-Mei's heart almost broke. He didn't expect that the honest man's smile would be so charming!

"Sigh!" Big Brother Lin, why didn't you bring that precious nephew of yours along!? "Too cute!"

"Haha, him? With grandpa accompanying him in cultivation, he's not interested at all .."

"Oh? That little guy also knows martial arts? "Heeheeheehee .. I really didn't see it!" Iron Cliff held his chin with both hands as he stared at Lin Xuezi.

"Sigh, do not underestimate that little fellow. "Haha .." Lin Xuanzi was extremely proud of Lin Hongxue.

"Oh? Then I will definitely bring him here next time! Let's see if he is as amazing as Brother Lin says! Where are his parents? "

"Eh — —" Lin Xuanzi's body involuntarily twitched. "Ah, this little guy has had a hard time. He lost his parents since he was young — —" Lin Xuanzi could not help but sigh.

"Oh! — I'm sorry, Brother Lin, I didn't mean to ask —" Tirion didn't think he would accidentally ask about someone's sore spot, and he felt very sorry for it.

"Hehe — that is fate. "Lady Tie doesn't need to mind — —" Lin Xuanzi hurriedly helped her to smooth things over. However, he frowned as if he had thought of something. Angele raised his head and looked around, but he was not nervous.

"Eh? "Miss Tie, the five little brothers from earlier in the day, was their gang really as Elder Iron said?" Lin Xuanzi seriously asked Tie Rujie in a low voice.

"Hm!" "That's right — —" Tie Ruidao's head tilted as he stared at Lin Xuanzi in a daze. Liu Mei also frowned, "Daddy has been troubled to death by this matter for the past few days! "The day after tomorrow, when the Sect Leaders of the various sects arrive, perhaps, there will be a conclusion .."

"Oh — —" Lin Xuanzi seemed to be deep in thought.

A gust of night wind blew. Lin Xuanzi looked around and said, "Hey, Miss Tie, it's already late. I think we should go back and rest —"

"Well — all right!" Tsui Mei also realized that Brother Lin must be tired from his journey today. She stood up and grabbed Lin Xuanzi's arm.

"Err .." Lin Xuanzi did not know whether to slap him or not.

"Hey, Brother Lin. In the future, you have to spend more time chatting with me." Borileimu looked up at Lin Xuanzi.

"Er — — mm, alright — —" Lin Xuanzi let out a groan.

"Really? You said that? "Come — and pull the hook —" After hearing Lin Xuanzi's answer, Tirian was overjoyed. But, she stretched out her pinky.

"Hmm?" Lin Xuanzi did not understand.

"Heeheeheeheeheehee .." Tsui Mei grabbed Lin Xuanzi's hand and hooked up her pinky with herself as a smile blossomed on her face. "Also, don't call me Lady Tie from now on .."

"Er — what's that called?"

"Hmm, Rui-Er, Mei-Er, Mei-jie, no matter what, don't be called Lady Tie, it's so unpleasant to listen to —" The girl tilted her head again, leaning on Lin Xuanzi's shoulder and dragging him slowly towards the house.

"Err .." Lin Xuanzi only felt a suffocating sensation in his chest ..
