After making up his mind, Lin Feng's thoughts changed rapidly: "Most of the time the little guy encountered was just a little shrimp. Should we go back and find him and silence him directly to prevent the big monks from the Fiery Sword Sect from coming to our door?"
After thinking about it, Lin Feng still gave up the plan of looking back to find trouble. Lin Feng knew nothing about whether the young man in red robe was acting alone and whether there were any of his companions nearby, so he finally decided not to take the risk.
Lin Feng knocked on the little one's head: "You brat, do you still dare to run around in the future?" The little one scratched his head in embarrassment, hehehe.
After leaving the mountains, there was a vast plain. Master Lin Feng and his apprentice quickly arrived at Wuzhou City.
Walking on the streets of Wuzhou City, looking at the endless flow of people, Lin Feng had a smile on his face. It has been almost three months since he came to this world. He has been in the mountains and has not seen such a lively scene for a long time.
Three months... Lin Feng sighed slightly, a quarter of the mission time has passed, and only a quarter of the mission has been completed. There is still a long way to go.
Lin Feng cheered up and asked people about the location of the Xiao family.
Although Wuzhou City is located on the southeastern border of the Qin Dynasty, it is an important trading town in the southeast of the Qin Dynasty. It is close to the vast mountains. Rare medicinal materials, animal skins and bones produced in the mountains are collected and distributed in Wuzhou City, and then sold throughout the Qin Dynasty.
Everywhere.
The Xiao family, from which Xiao Yan was born, is considered a powerful force in Wuzhou City and controls more than one-third of the medicinal materials trade in Wuzhou.
Of course, there is no comparison between a local power like the Xiao family and a behemoth like the Liuguang Sword Sect. After Xiao Yan became a genius, it is no wonder that Murong Yanran came to break off the engagement with the support of the sect.
The focus of Lin Feng's inquiries was whether anything major had happened to the Xiao family recently and whether any outsiders had come to the Xiao family.
When he heard that Murong Yanran and his party had not come to the door yet, Lin Feng felt relieved and knew that he was not late.
Ye Ge had a fight with Lao Peach Tree and was injured by Lao Peach Tree. It seemed that the injury was really serious and it would take a long time to recover. Murong Yanran would probably wait until Ye Ge's injury was almost healed before coming to Wu.
The state annulled the engagement.
Lin Feng was worried about gain and loss again at this time. If Ye Ge's injury lasted for half a year, would he have to wait for him in Wuzhou City?
"First find a chance to meet Xiao Yan himself and test him with the talent detector."
In Wuzhou City, Xiao Yan can be considered a celebrity.
He started practicing at the age of eight, reached the fifth level of Qi training a year later, and completed Qi training at the age of twelve. This speed of training is unparalleled in Wuzhou City, not to mention the Xiao family, even in the entire Qin Dynasty.
It is also famous far and wide.
Although the Xiao family is also a cultivator family, it is just a local force in Wuzhou City. The Taoism they practice is only at the third-rate level. Xiao Yan can achieve such amazing achievements. If he practices superior Taoism, his achievements will be even more limitless.
It was rumored that Xiao Yan's reputation at that time even alarmed Taixu Guan, one of the three holy places, and they were planning to come to investigate and take him into their sect.
At that time, the young man was confident and had a promising future. When he was about to turn thirteen, he embarked on a foundation-building period that countless cultivators may not be able to achieve in their lifetime, and became a successor to the Holy Land, writing his own legend.
How high-spirited! How high-spirited!
But the situation took a turn for the worse when Xiao Yan was twelve years old.
Xiao Yan, who had already opened up the twelfth level of the building and had perfected his qi training, suddenly lost all his magic power in one day, and the acupuncture points that had been opened were re-sealed one by one.
The state of Qi Lian Dzogchen was bizarrely regressed to the first level of Qi Lian, and Xiao Yan also fell from the clouds to the bottom in an instant.
There was no movement from Taixu Temple, which was rumored to be coming for inspection, and the admirations around him turned into sighs and even malicious ridicules.
The entire Wuzhou City was watching with pity as the former genius fell from the altar.
The little one next to Lin Feng also had a sad look on his face after hearing what happened to Xiao Yan: "It's not easy for him either."
"Yes, yes." Lin Feng echoed indifferently, but his blood boiled in his heart.
Damn, this is exactly the template for Mr. Right and the protagonist!
You can think about it with your knees. There must be something hidden in Xiao Yan's sudden transformation from a genius to a loser.
As the saying goes, suppress first and then rise. If it were not suppressed to the extreme now, how could it possibly explode?
And when Murong Yanran came to slap her in the face and break off the engagement, it was the critical point of the explosion. Once the marriage was called off, Xiao Yan would be able to find peace and embark on a golden road to kill everyone and take everything.
Lin Feng thought in his mind: "There must be some reason why Xiao Yan turned from a genius to a loser. This thing is often the golden finger of Xiao Yan's future rise. In other words... it is my competitor."
Murong Yanran and others had not arrived yet, so Lin Feng still had time to make arrangements calmly. He first found a place to stay in the city. After settling the little one, Lin Feng went directly to the Xiao family mansion.
After wandering around for a few days, he neither saw Xiao Yan nor did Murong Yanran come to his door. Lin Feng couldn't help but feel anxious.
Lin Feng considered coming directly to pretend to be a superior person and take Xiao Yan in before Murong Yanran broke off the engagement.
But this will cause many problems.
To put it more fantasy-wise, Xiao Yan's luck may not have turned around if there had been no break-up of the engagement.
To be more realistic, if there was no divorce incident, Xiao Yan's desire for power would not be so urgent, and his self-esteem would not be hurt and his heart would be filled with anger because of being slapped in the face by the divorce.
Different from the little one, Xiao Yan is already a fifteen-year-old boy with the most basic judgment. If he doesn't wait until he gets angry and loses his cool after the engagement is broken off, he may not be so easy to fool.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng decided to wait quietly for Murong Yanran to come to the door before taking action.
Just as he was thinking about it, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind: "The target has been found and is suitable to become the direct disciple of the host."
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment: "Holy crap!" He quickly looked up and saw a young man in black walking out of the Xiao family mansion.
Seeing the young man in black come out, the street outside the mansion fell silent for a moment. Everyone's eyes flashed at the young man in black, and whispers started, obviously everyone was talking about the young man in black.
The young man had handsome features and an expressionless face. When he saw the reactions of the people on the street, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips and he kept walking forward.
Lin Feng's eyes always fell on the young man in black, and the system prompts kept ringing in Lin Feng's mind.
"The talent system has been sorted out. The information on target No. 2 is as follows."
"Summary: The target's talent is extremely high. It is recommended to take him as a disciple and teach him carefully. He will definitely become a pillar of the sect."
Lin Feng took a deep breath, with a warm and sunny smile on his face: "The second one!"
His eyes began to search for Xiao Yan. If there were any gold fingers, for the sake of portability, they would probably be rings, bracelets, necklaces or something...
There is nothing in my hand.
There is, um, a rope around his neck, and there are two rings on the rope. They are black and very inconspicuous.
Lin Feng touched his nose and smiled: "Sure enough, there are rings, or two. I bet there is a master... master..."
Wait, something seems wrong...
Two rings?
Damn, what's going on?
Lin Feng's eyes were a little straight, and he stared blankly at the two rings on Xiao Yan's chest that were shaking and touching each other, making a low crisp sound.
