With an enigmatic smile, Lin Huanran did not directly answer Xiao Chen's question.
"I wonder if my benefactor knows my origin?" Xiao Chen took a deep breath and sat next to Lin Huanran. He felt that the origin of the person in front of him was mysterious and unfathomable. The wine just made him linger and have endless aftertaste, and he actually
It also has the effect of healing wounds, which is really unexpected.
Lin Huanran shook his head slightly, "Before I came to the academy, I had been walking alone outside. I liked to fight against injustices along the way, but I also got a nickname: Nanhui Yixia."
"Oh? Nan Hui Yixia: Xiao Chen? It's a pretty good name. I remember Nan Hui is the name of a village."
"Yes, I saved the entire village and that's why it got its name."
"Oh." He nodded suddenly, showing more respect for Xiao Chen.
In this martial continent where people cannibalize people, everyone has no time to take care of themselves. In order to improve their cultivation and strength, they practice life-threatening exercises. There are very few people with chivalrous hearts like Xiao Chen.
"Then I passed through a city and heard rumors about the white jade fox Kong Fei. It was also because of this rumor that I came to Shangwu Academy to become a student." Xiao Chen's words aroused Lin Huanran's interest. What exactly is this Kong Fei?
Already?
Xiao Chen had a disgusted expression on his face, "The white jade fox Kong Fei picked up yin and replenished yang, and he harmed many women."
"Collect yin and replenish yang?" Although Lin Huanran didn't understand, how could he not know about the Skybreaking Sword? After telling the origin in his mind, Lin Huanran also had a cold light in his eyes, "I didn't expect that Kong Fei actually practiced such a technique.
"
"Kong Fei's targets for collecting yin and replenishing yang are mostly ladies and cultivating women. The yin energy of such female virgins is more useful. Moreover, Kong Fei started with love and played with emotions, making many women crazy about him. In the end, he got
Knowing the truth, but not having the courage to live, they all died. How can I not get rid of such a scum as soon as possible?" Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he seemed to want to kill Kong Fei again.
Lin Huanran also nodded, agreeing with Xiao Chen's words on this point. If you really like these women, you can keep them with you. Although having a group of wives and concubines is a bit indecent, it at least gives them something to rely on.
The wandering heart wanders without a trace.
When the time comes, even if you harvest Yin Yuan, it will be between you and me, and no one can meddle in others' affairs.
But to abandon it after playing with it is really unacceptable.
"It turns out that what you secretly communicated with him on the ring that day was these truths."
"That's right. So I fight with him, whoever loses will die." Xiao Chen said coldly.
Indeed, if someone else knew such a secret, in this martial arts academy with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it would be impossible for Kong Fei to escape. Only by killing Xiao Chen could he ensure his own safety.
"Lin admires Brother Xiao's chivalrous heart very much. I wonder if Brother Xiao can help me keep the secret?" Lin Huanran looked at Xiao Chen and admired him very much, so he planned to tell his true identity.
Xiao Chen stood up, clasping his fists with both hands, "If I haven't repaid my benefactor for saving my life, let alone being tight-lipped, Xiao Chen has no obligation to refuse even if it means going through mountains of fire."
Lin Huanran also stood up, and after returning the courtesy, he took off his Glacier Thousand Transformations. Xiao Chen's face showed a hint of surprise, "Are you the handyman who was rumored about in Shangwu Academy some time ago?"
"Yes, it's Xia Lin Huanran."
Xiao Chen sighed, "I didn't expect that Brother Lin would hide himself in the city in this way. He would not fight, snatch or snatch, but his strength is unfathomable. I am afraid that there will be no match for you in the top 100 list."
He waved his hand and said, "Originally I thought so too, but now it seems that it may not be so." Heng Wentian has such strength, but I don't know how strong the top three masters on the hundred list are?
"Brother Lin's moves are really very strange. Although I can't see them clearly in the dark, the sharpness that makes my scalp feel cold is the only one I've seen in my life." Xiao Chen said.
Smiling, Lin Huanran said, "I'm not afraid of Brother Xiao's jokes. I practice swordsmanship."
"Sword?" Xiao Chen was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Brother Lin is indeed not an ordinary person. He has mastered a weapon that others have discarded to such an extent. He will definitely become a great master and become famous all over the world in the future."
Lin Huanran smiled slightly, "Thank you for your kind words, Brother Xiao. It's dawn now, how about we warm a pot of wine and have a chat?"
"That's what I meant, but after drinking Brother Lin's wine, I'm afraid other drinks will be like coptis?" The taste in his mouth still hasn't dissipated, but these words come from the bottom of his heart.
"I would like to ask, where does the wine Brother Lin just made come from? Not only is it like a fairy wine, but it also has healing properties. It is really magical." Although asking such questions is a taboo in the world, but Xiao
Chen is an upright and straightforward person, and can be said to be informal.
Moreover, he believed that Lin Huanran was definitely not a weakling, so he directly asked.
Lin Huanran smiled mysteriously, "The tavern will tell you the truth."
The lights were dim, and there were only four or five wooden tables around. Even though I wiped them hard, I could still feel the oil stains on them.
A plate of beef and a jar of fine wine, the two of them started chatting here. Because there was usually no one around at this time, the boss was dozing aside, and the only people in the tavern were Lin Huanran and Xiao Chen, so they chatted without any scruples.
, and not afraid of others hearing any secrets.
"Seriously?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes when he learned that this wine was brewed by Lin Huanran himself.
He looked at Lin Huanran as if he were a monster. "Of course, if Brother Xiao wants this kind of wine, he can come to me in the handyman's yard. If I have a collection, I won't be stingy."
"Haha, it's a deal. It seems that life in the school will not be lonely and monotonous in the future." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Not long after, half of the jar of wine was gone. Although the taste of the wine was very light, the two people appreciated each other and it had a different taste.
"Brother Lin, I'm really sorry because I caused you to get into trouble with such a powerful enemy as the Duan family."
"What's the origin of the Duan family?" Lin Huanran asked nonchalantly, the beef in his mouth mixed with water and wine becoming more and more full of flavor.
Xiao Chen's face turned serious, "Excluding the real martial arts continent, there are eight huge families in the entire Haoyang Kingdom that can be considered the dominant ones, among which they are: Bian Family, Ding Family, Duan Family, and Yang Family
, Yuwen family, Lei family, Sima family and the Hong family in Wangcheng."
"The Bian family is indeed among them. There is also the Ding family." Lin Huanran thought of Ding Xiang and Zhang He, but remained calm on the surface.
"This Duan Lei is a descendant of the Duan family. Even though Duan Lei's Duan family is not his own, it is still a big trouble." Xiao Chen sighed.
Lin Huanran nodded. Without this background, how could Duan Lei have two old men as bodyguards and force Xiao Chen into a desperate situation?
"The Hong family in Wangcheng? Boy, do you still remember the person who gave you the jade pendant?" Potianjian didn't know much about the family in Haoyang Kingdom. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, he remembered something.
Frowning slightly, he thought of the young master Hong Dingtian whom he rescued before entering the Huangquan Mountains. By the way, his surname was Hong, and he also lived in the Hong family. Could it be that he was a member of the Hong family?
The dense jade in the Sky-Breaking Sword space was not of much help to my cultivation, so I kept hiding it in the sword and almost forgot about it. Only then did I remember it when I heard about the Eight Great Families.
"Brother Xiao, you are worrying too much. Even if Duan Lei does this, even if he doesn't come to kill you, he will offend me one day, and I will kill him at that time. Instead of you feeling guilty and dragging me down, it is better to strengthen your strength. In the future, we will destroy you."
He killed his Duan family."
"Haha, okay! I, Xiao Chen, am too cowardly. Brother Lin, thank you for waking me up in my dream with your words. I'll do it first as a token of respect." Xiao Chen picked up the big bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Xiao Chen's heroic spirit, Lin Huanran was also infected and immediately drank a glass of wine. The two looked at each other and smiled, cherishing each other.
"Brother Xiao, I wonder what the origin of this Hong family is?"
"The Hong family in Wangcheng? They are relatives of the emperor. It can be said that they represent the imperial power of this empire." Although it was strange why Lin Huanran was interested in the Hong family of the eight major families, he still told the truth.
"Imperial power? Could it be this Hong Dingtian?" Lin Huanran narrowed his eyes slightly as he had doubts in his heart.
"Hey boy, you are meeting noble people everywhere." Potian was a little gloating, because of Sunan City's words, Lin Huanran knew that this seemingly peaceful Haoyang Kingdom was actually brewing a storm that would change the world.
"Brother Xiao, let's go back to the school first. I have already taken care of the bodies of Duan Lei and the others. Even if they disappear, there will be no suspicion on us for a while. If we stay out all night and are discovered, I'm afraid we will really have no excuses."
Lin Huanran said.
"What Brother Lin said is absolutely true."
After Xiao Chen paid for the drink, the two entered the school separately. Lin Huanran naturally walked through the handyman passage. At this time, the handymen had already started working, and Lin Huanran quickly changed his clothes and joined them.
Now the handyman compound is almost all their own. When they see Lin Huanran being mysterious, they won't ask or talk about it. To them, Lin Huanran is the boss.
But there was a surge of calls in the school. It seemed that some big shot had appeared. No need to ask, Ding Xiang had already arrived at the handyman compound. He was panting and said, "This is incredible."
"What happened?" Lin Huanran asked after putting down the broom.
"The top ten masters on the Hundred Rankings have all returned to school."
"Back to the school? They are not in the school?" Lin Huanran was stunned.
"Of course, it is said that the Master of the Academy Jijiu has set a task for each of them based on their ranking. As long as they complete this task, they can return to the academy, and then they can publicize their names to the entire Haoyang Kingdom. The ten of them can also
They will be the top ten masters with the best and most potential in Shangwu Academy. They will also have to leave the academy within a short period of time. What awaits them is a future with unlimited potential."
