Time passed minute by minute, when the bright moon hung high above the head and the fog began to appear faintly, the eyes of Old Man Ding and Feng Yue lit up one after another.
The next moment, Lin Dong could clearly feel that Yun Lan's whole body suddenly erupted with astonishing energy.
A breakthrough?
Lin Dong looked ecstatic, and Yun Lan, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, which further confirmed his guess.
Without any hesitation, Lin Dong shot out and appeared outside Yun Lan's door in an instant.
With a gentle push of the palm, the door creaked open.
On the wooden bed, Yun Lan's bright and clear pupils, like stars, shone with joy.
"I've made a breakthrough, I've reached the first level of the Heart Stage."
Yun Lan's mood could not be described as unexciting. Peak power is the highest goal that all martial arts practitioners pursue throughout their lives. Even she, a genius and the heir of the Tianjian Sect who is destined to become a peak powerhouse, cannot do so after officially purchasing the first level of the heart. Free from vulgarity.
"Congratulations!" Lin Dong stretched out his arms with a congratulatory smile on his face.
Yun Lan flew over and hugged Lin Dong tightly.
The moment Lin Dong was hugged tightly around his waist, he stopped trying to take advantage. He could sense Yun Lan's current mood.
This moment is a moment of ecstasy. There are two restless palms touching here and there, something inappropriate.
"Girl Yun, congratulations!" Old Man Ding stood behind Lin Dong and raised his hands towards Yun Lan with a solemn expression.
"Congratulations on your entry into the ranks of peak warriors. With your talent and age, you are destined to leave your name in the history of the martial arts world." Feng Yue also looked solemn as he stepped into the ranks of peak warriors. This is the most important moment in a warrior's life, even if He and Old Man Ding didn't want to disturb Yun Lan's mood at this moment.
"Thank you, old man, thank you, senior Feng. Without the protection of the two elders, Yun Lan would not be able to focus all his attention on cultivation." Yun Lan cupped her hands towards the two of them and thanked them.
The two of them quickly became humble.
"Why don't you thank me?" Lin Dong said with a smile: "I am responsible for peripheral surveillance. To be honest, the task is no smaller than that of the old man and Senior Feng. What's more, the two of them are responsible for your condition together, and I am responsible for it alone. Regarding your peripherals, in total, my contribution should be the greatest. That"
"Do we need to say thank you for our relationship?" Yun Lan asked with a smile.
"That's true!" Lin Dong originally wanted to trick him into a kiss, but upon hearing this, he was more excited than getting a kiss.
"Girl Yun, for such a big happy event, how about a drink?" Old man Ding took out the wine jar and shook it towards Yun Lan.
"No, let's go back to the room! Do whatever you have to do. Eat as much good wine and Tianfeng pepper as you want." Lin Dong immediately retorted. Naturally, he and Yun Lan had to handle such a big happy event alone. share.
Old man Ding and Feng Yue were speechless. They wanted to express their dissatisfaction, but after thinking about it, they gave up. Turn around silently and disappear silently.
"Let's go out to enjoy the moon?" Lin Dong asked.
Yun Lan nodded.
Lin Dong walked towards the stone table and took out a jar of fine wine from the mobile counter. There were two small jade cups on his fingers.
Sitting down on the stone bench, Lin Dong placed the jade cup in place, and in a flash, he came to the kitchen.
I took some cold dishes from the kitchen and returned to the stone table.
"Fine wine and delicious food! This is called drinking. It's not like drinking water, Mr. Ding." Lin Dong smiled, filled up a glass, and raised his glass: "Congratulations on your success in entering the ranks of the top experts and becoming the youngest in the history of the Han Dynasty. The pinnacle of strength.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you would also be able to speak politely.¡± Yun Lan smiled and raised her glass.
"It depends on the day. Today is unusual, so I still have to say what I need to say." Lin Dong drank it all in one gulp, smacked his lower lip with unfinished thoughts, and said with a smile: "How about it, what does it feel like to be a peak powerhouse?"
"It feels" Yun Lan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "I can't explain clearly, it's as if I have suddenly been reborn, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is more intimate. I can feel it in every plant and tree in the yard. thoughts and the smallest details.¡±
"So magical?" Lin Dong clicked his tongue, his expectations for the peak powerhouse deepened.
Yun Lan nodded, straightened out her thoughts, and was about to explain in detail when she suddenly frowned.
"Someone is coming!"
Soon, Lin Dong also sensed it. With his mind wandering, a dozen people actually turned over the courtyard wall and jumped in.
"People from Tianwei Pavilion?"
Lin Dong¡¯s brows also wrinkled. Today is Yunlan¡¯s peak.On this great day for the ranks of strong men, even Old Man Ding and Feng Yue, the two great masters of Linji Inn, started to chase them away, not wanting to be disturbed by a few spies.
"Probably not. One person from Tianwei Pavilion is enough." Yun Lan shook her head and said: "Besides, these people don't look like spies, but rather"
"Thieves?" Lin Dong took a closer look and couldn't help but said helplessly: "Thieves who are pretty good, could they be the gang that Ma Chun mentioned?"
"Who?" Yun Lan asked confused.
"Ma Chun told me in the afternoon that there was a group of people at the inn who encountered an unsolvable problem. I asked him to find a way to find out what the problem was. Unexpectedly" Lin Dong smiled and said: "Although my motives are not pure, but After all, I was doing them a favor, so they sneaked into my house, and they chose a time like this."
"They don't know that you want to help them." Yun Lan smiled and said, "Since you are of use to them, you should throw away some money."
"How do you know when I can use them?" Lin Dong was surprised. Yun Lan basically knew everything about Lin Ji Inn, but about the hidden mission, because it rarely appeared, he remembered not saying anything I heard it from Yun Lan.
"I'll know just by the tone of your voice." Yun Lan said slyly: "The old man and Senior Feng have both driven away, but he is a little hesitant about this group of people. It's not going to do any good. You can't do it."
Lin Dong gave Yun Lan a thumbs up.
"What should we do?" Yun Lan asked: "Change the place, or take the initiative to send money to the door? I remember you said that the big money from the inn belongs to you, and the small money belongs to Ma Chun."
"Let's see if they are really here to steal things first!" Lin Dong said: "A group of warriors should not be short of money. If it is a temporary emergency, there is no need for so many people to come here, and it is not for people to move."
Yun Lan nodded, and spiritual power surged out. Suddenly, a vague aura appeared in front of the two of them. Ordinary people, even warriors in the mental stage, would definitely not be able to notice that there is a stone table here, and there are two people sitting next to the stone table.
As soon as they spoke, the thieves, who were very capable, quickly and carefully walked through the yard of more than 200 meters and arrived in front of a row of houses.
Lin Dong took a closer look and saw that there were nine people coming, two women and seven men, all in their early twenties. The first one is the strongest and has the fifth level of mind stage. The other eight have strengths ranging from the first to the third level of the mind stage.
This strength, in front of Lin Dong and Yun Lan, might just be waved away by the wind, but in the secular world, it is definitely a powerful force. Judging from the age of these people, they all have the qualifications to become disciples of large sects. If they are placed in a medium sect, it is a sure thing to become an elite disciple who focuses on training. The first one is even qualified to become an elite disciple of a large sect.
"Why is it so shabby in the back?" The young man at the head looked at a row of red brick and wooden walls and couldn't help but frowned, as if he didn't expect that this place was not as wealthy as he thought.
Lin Dong was speechless, it was just a little simpler, the brick walls were all new.
¡°Elder brother, since this is not a rich place, let¡¯s go back!¡± A female voice like a silver bell suddenly sounded.
"With the business of this inn, it is impossible that he is not a wealthy man." The voice of the young man known as the senior brother became a little excited: "In my opinion, the owner of this inn should be stingy and not willing to spend money on anything. This way It¡¯s best to clear him out in one fell swoop later, which will give us an advantage in vain.¡±
Yun Lan pursed her lips and chuckled. Shopkeeper Lin has become a miser.
Lin Dong was a little unhappy and emptied everything in one go? There are quite a few warriors who have run out of money and are too lazy to serve as guards when they go out, or are in urgent need. Most of these people seek help from wealthy families, but they will never say anything about evacuating people's homes. Not to mention emptying, the attack is usually not too ruthless.
Generally speaking, when someone's home is robbed, and the government sends people to investigate the case, and it is discovered that it was a warrior, as long as no one is killed, a notice will be issued offering a reward for the capture of the warrior, and then nothing will be done. This is a rule set by Tianwei Pavilion in order to discredit all sects and give them a bad reputation in the eyes of the people.
The people are the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and they are also the foundation of the sect. Their disciples are all from ordinary people. Therefore, if sect disciples find such a notice, they will usually find a way to find out who is the black sheep and then get rid of them. Over time, this habit has been developed. Therefore, if a warrior needs help in an emergency, most of the time he will just find a big banker to withdraw 1,800 taels of silver. If he is honest, he will even leave a note indicating his identity and the date of return. When going out, warriors also encounter difficulties. It is not a shameful thing to rescue them.
"Evacuating people's whole families, that's what happens"?Not kind anymore, and rarely happens. After all, although the major sects do not have the perfect scouts from Tianwei Pavilion, there is no airtight wall in the world. To do this kind of thing, you have to be mentally prepared to face everyone shouting and beating you like a rat crossing the street in the martial arts world.
"Don't talk about us, you are the one who wants to take advantage of this!" Lin Dong was dissatisfied, and there were others even more dissatisfied than him. Behind the senior brother, a young man said coldly: "We agreed to only take two thousand taels of silver, how much more Yes, you can afford to lose this person, but we cannot afford to lose this person."
"What? You want to rebel before I take over the throne?" The senior brother turned his head coldly.
"Senior Brother, if you take too much money, you will easily be targeted by the sects in the capital." The female voice spoke again: "We"
"I have the final say on this matter! If you don't want to hear it, you can leave now." The senior brother glanced coldly at the junior brothers and sisters behind him.
Everyone was silent, obviously there was some reason why they couldn't leave, and no one spoke to refute.
