In the second year of Shengyuan, it was mid-April.
Spring is halfway over, but the weather in Victoria is still dry.
Except for the rain more than half a month ago, there is no moisture at all.
Lin Ji had a rare moment of leisure.
After the last incident at Xingye Temple, Lin Ji originally thought that Tantric Buddhism would react in some way.
But just like he killed Xingyuan of Sakya Temple, the matter of Xingye Temple also had no follow-up.
It is obvious that the power that has controlled Victoria for thousands of years turned a blind eye to such a slap in the face.
Lin Ji smelled something unusual.
During his time in Jade City, Lin Ji had already met many outside monks, who were basically members of sects and aristocratic families from all over the Nine Provinces of the Central Plains.
Most of them are young people in the second and third realms, and even the fourth realms are rare.
But when Lin Ji happened to pass by the government office, he also saw some monks who were obviously not from Weizhou coming and going.
Compared with the young monks in the city, there are already people in the fourth and even fifth realms who come in and out of the government office.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.
However, Lin Ji didn't take these things to heart, and it was rare to have even half a day to spare in his life.
Ever since Lin Chun complained one day that he was too tired from practicing and wanted to go out for fun.
Lin Ji simply stopped his practice and took him wandering around Jade City all day long.
Gao Ling also raised objections several times, but had to give in under Lin Ji's official authority.
Because of this incident, Lin Chun became a little closer to Lin Ji, and seemed to have forgotten what he and Lin Ji had said some time ago.
Speaking of Yucheng, Lin Ji was quite surprised here.
It is clear that the situation in Victoria is not good, but the prefectural city of Yucheng is not much different from those in other states.
There is a trade route from Xiangzhou that leads directly to Jade City. Therefore, although it is not as bustling and noisy as Xiangcheng Liangcheng, it still has the necessary things.
Places such as brothels and casinos are also run decently.
At noon.
Lin Ji led Lin Chun to sit down at a restaurant in the city called Yumanlou.
The two of them sat on the second floor facing the stairs and ordered a few side dishes and two jars of good wine.
"I can't tell that you are still a drunkard. You are so good when you are only four or five years old. You will be better when you grow up." Lin Ji looked at Lin Chun with a smile and drank heavily from the wine jar, which was quite funny.
His head is not as big as a wine jar.
"My father won't let me drink it at home." After one sip, Lin Chun was already drunk and blurry.
"Dad's not here, just drink and empty this restaurant." Lin Ji said in a wicked way.
He wanted to see how much this kid could drink.
After all, he was a monk in the Body Refining Realm. No matter how much he drank, it would not hurt his body. Lin Ji would just turn around and help him get rid of the drunkenness.
While he was talking, the waiter had already started serving the dishes.
Lin Ji touched Lin Chun's wine jar with his wine glass and began to drink.
During the meal, people often came up to say hello to Lin Chun. They all seemed to know him, the young master of the Lin family.
The people who greeted Lin Yuxuan were also some elders who knew Lin Yuxuan. They also inquired about Lin Ji's identity and complained about Lin Ji letting a little kid like Lin Chun drink.
In response to this, Lin Ji also laughed and made fun of it.
Lin Chun was sulking and drinking.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
Seeing that Lin Chun had drunk so much that his mouth was drooling and he couldn't close his mouth, Lin Ji thought that was almost the end of it.
Just when he was about to call the waiter to pay the bill and leave, there was a quarrel on the first floor of the restaurant.
"What kind of bullshit place is Dadao Villa! I've never heard of it!"
"Hey, you little brat, you're quite tough. Come on, come on, you'll know how powerful you are after two moves!"
A few words of scolding soon turned into a full-blown fight.
Lin Ji felt that the voice below sounded familiar. He looked down the stairs to the first floor, then raised his eyebrows slightly.
Among the two people fighting below was Li Dalong from Dadao Villa.
This guy took copies of Wind Control Technique and Fuyao Technique from him, and I don't know if he has learned it or not.
But when he saw this man again, Lin Ji discovered that he had actually broken through to the fourth realm.
The young disciple who was fighting with Li Dalong was from an unknown sect. Although he was arrogant, he was only in the third realm.
In just three or two moves, Li Dalong hit him in the face with a blade, causing half of his face to become red and swollen.
"That's it? That's it?!"
Seeing his opponent fall to the ground, Li Dalong laughed loudly.
His opponent, on the other hand, sat down on the ground in bewilderment, with one side of his face red and swollen, and the other side also red.
Lin Ji thought it was strange at first, but when he saw the female monks at another table next to the young monk, he suddenly understood.
They are jealous of each other.
Just as Lin Ji was wondering whether to say hello to Li Dalong, another clear voice suddenly sounded from the first floor.
"You have to do something even if you want to eat. Whether it's annoying or not, shut your mouth!"
When Li Dalong downstairs was feeling proud, he heard someone scolding him and turned around in dissatisfaction.
But the moment he turned his head, a strong wind suddenly appeared.
Before he could even react, he felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate, his vision went dark, and his whole body was so stiff and frightened that he could hardly move.
clang!
A crisp sound echoed on the first floor of the restaurant, and everyone present was in the heart.
When Li Dalong opened his eyes again, he realized that he was not dead. Then he saw a long sword in front of him, blocking a pair of slender hands.
"Mr. Lin?!" Li Dalong looked at Lin Ji in surprise.
But soon, he noticed Lin Ji's extremely solemn expression.
He looked at the person who attacked him again.
His hair was unkempt, and his clothes seemed to be the robes of some sect, but they were so full of filth that it was hard to tell clearly.
This man clearly looked like a beggar, but the life and death in that moment made Li Dalong deeply understand the terror of the man in front of him.
"Huh?"
The beggar looked at Lin Ji in surprise, slightly curved his mouth, and turned his hands.
A huge force made Lin Ji's face become more solemn. In an instant, he summoned the power of four stars to increase his body, and the spiritual energy in his dantian spurted out, leaping on the edge of the sword.
He also flipped his hand, turning the sword upside down.
There was another muffled sound, and Lin Ji took two steps back before he could stand still.
But the beggar remained motionless, looking at Lin Ji with a glint in his eyes.
"Hey, is it you? It's only been a few months, and you can actually take on one of my moves."
Lin Ji saw that the beggar didn't seem to be ready to take action anymore, so he took back the sword with vigilance, but it did not return it to the sheath, but held it in his hand.
"Senior, as a monk in the Sun Traveling Realm, why do you bother these juniors in the third and fourth realms?"
After hearing Lin Ji's words, neither Li Dalong nor the red-faced monk who was knocked to the ground, or the female monks at the table beside him, were too frightened to speak.
