"Jun Hao, pay your respects to Grandpa." A man with white hair and green beard, dressed in luxurious clothes, knelt in front of Lin Tianheng and saluted respectfully.
This person is the current head of the Lin family, Lin Tianheng’s eldest great-grandson, Lin Junhao.
"Get up." Lin Tianheng said calmly.
After Lin Junhao stood up, Lin Tianheng asked again: "How is Jianliang's health?"
"Replying to my great grandfather, my father is still in good health, but the weather has turned cold and he occasionally suffers from asthma." Lin Junhao slowly walked to Lin Tianheng's side and lowered his head to report back.
"Where are the people?" Lin Tianheng asked. The order he gave to Lin Junhao was to bring the younger members of the family for him to review.
"Everyone is waiting in the courtyard." Lin Junhao said, "My grandson has selected twelve people according to your wishes. They are all extremely talented people who are at the peak of physical training and are no more than sixteen years old."
"Are they all talented people?" Lin Tianheng raised his eyelids slightly, his tone full of doubt.
"Yes." Lin Junhao replied with a guilty conscience.
"That's all, let the kids come in." Lin Tianheng waved his hand and said.
The Wutian Sect, the largest sect in Daqi, heard that the peerless genius among the true disciples of the sect can touch the threshold of innateness at the age of sixteen. That is the real talent!
It's better to forget about these brats in their family. They can't even pass the entrance examination of Wu Tian Sect, but for now they can only make do with it.
Just when Lin Junhao was about to call people in, a loud voice came:
"My grandson Jianli asks to see you."
Hearing this voice, Lin Tianheng smiled without trace, while Lin Junhao's face turned cold.
The person who came was walking like a dragon and a tiger with extraordinary bearing. It was Lin Jianli, the governor of Lingchuan County.
"Grandson pays homage to grandpa." Lin Jianli also saluted after entering.
"No courtesy." Lin Tianheng said.
"I've met Uncle Twelve." Even though the two of them didn't deal with each other, in front of Lin Tianheng, Lin Junhao still bowed slightly to Lin Jianli, showing great courtesy.
The Lin family is roughly divided into two lines, the family head line and the county guard line. This problem began when Lin Tianheng married two wives.
The eldest wife has four sons. After Lin Tianheng stepped down from the family affairs, his eldest son took charge of the affairs. After the eldest son passed away, it was passed down to the eldest grandson, until the current eldest great-grandson Lin Junhao.
The second wife came in late and left only one son. Lin Tianheng's old son doted on this younger son and directly promised him the position of county guard, which was then passed on to his beloved son Lin Jianli.
Although the family head's lineage has many people and strength, all Lin Tianheng's first four sons have passed away, so they can only barely compete with the county guard's lineage.
There has always been a rift between the two families, which is one of the bane of the Lin family. But now that Lin Tianheng is pressing on it, there can be no trouble. Once Lin Tianheng goes west, the two families will inevitably separate, and the Lin family will fall apart.
disaster.
Lin Tianheng knows this very well, but even if he sets strict family rules, such scandals are bound to happen in the family.
The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, so Lin Tianheng could only try his best to ensure that the bowl of water was as level as possible and never favored any side.
"I heard that grandpa wants to meet the younger generation, and the grandson also brought three people." Lin Jianli said, glancing at Lin Junhao lightly.
Noticing Lin Jianli's provocative eyes, Lin Junhao clenched his fists in his sleeves, but he could only hold back his breath for the time being.
"Okay, let's ask them all to come in." Lin Tianheng said leisurely as if he didn't notice the little actions of the two people.
The two gave orders, and fifteen juniors from the Lin family filed in. All fifteen of them were men, and all of them were accomplished in physical training, but they did not make the slightest sound.
"Greetings to the ancestor!" Fifteen people knelt down and said in unison.
"Which generation of little guy is this?" Lin Tianheng asked.
"Most of them are from the "Yi" generation, and there are two from the "Zi" generation." Lin Junhao said.
"All three of them are of the "Yi" generation." Lin Jianli said.
"Heaven is strong and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement." This is a lineage set by Lin Tianheng himself.
"Everyone raise their heads and let me take a look." Lin Tianheng said.
"Follow the order of our ancestors." The fifteen people all raised their heads, but no one dared to look Lin Tianheng in the eye.
"What is this child's name?" Lin Tianheng looked at everyone carefully and suddenly pointed at a young man and asked Lin Junhao.
"Replying to my grandpa, this child is Lin Yicong from the third bedroom." Lin Junhao looked calm on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.
Although he didn't know what Lin Tianheng was going to do when he saw these juniors, Lin Junhao was extremely happy that Lin Tianheng had chosen someone from his department.
"That's right." Lin Tianheng nodded. This boy is handsome and handsome, and has the style of his ancestors. Although he only has one or two points of charm, he is enough to kill many others in an instant.
In most cases, the first impression is very important, and even many opportunities arise from it.
‘Anyway, the qualifications are almost the same, so let’s choose someone with this appearance to stand out.’ Lin Tianheng thought to himself, and then waved his hand, signaling Lin Junhao and Lin Jianli to leave with the others.
"It seems that Uncle Twelve has wasted his efforts this time." After leaving the old house, Lin Junhao said with a smile.
Lin Jianli glanced at Lin Junhao with a cold look, then snorted coldly and led others away.
"Grandpa, what exactly is our ancestor going to do when he summons us this time?" Lin Junhao's grandson Lin Yihui asked. The other juniors also looked at Lin Junhao with keen eyes, full of curiosity.
"Ancestor must have deep meaning when doing things. If you are not supposed to know, don't ask too much." Lin Junhao coughed dryly and said, he didn't know what the ancestor was going to do, and he didn't dare to ask.
"I really envy Brother Yicong. He is so lucky that he was favored by the ancestor." Someone among the younger generation said.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately echoed it, and everyone looked envious.
"Okay, let's all disperse." Lin Junhao waved his hand, "Remember to practice martial arts well and strive to be appreciated by the ancestors in the future."
After hearing this, the juniors all bowed and then went back to their homes to practice their own skills.
"Cong'er, this is how I will call you from now on," Lin Tianheng said.
Lin Yicong's eyes widened when he heard this, as if he was too excited to speak.
"Cong'er, come and sit." Lin Tianheng called Lin Yicong to him and said with a smile.
"Cong'er doesn't dare." Lin Yicong secretly looked at this ancestor whom he had only met twice, with an expression of fear.
"Don't be afraid, our ancestor has given you an opportunity." Lin Tianheng said more and more kindly.
The more Lin Tianheng looked at it, the more he found this child pleasing to his eyes, so he said to the system in his heart: Just choose him!
Immediately, the system bound Lin Yicong as the task target of the novice task.
"Opportunity?" When he heard these two words, Lin Yicong's eyes lit up. Since it was the ancestor who spoke, he was about to become prosperous!
"How old are you this year?" Lin Tianheng asked.
"Reporting to my ancestor, Cong'er has just turned fourteen this year." Lin Yicong replied.
"The peak of physical training at the age of fourteen is not bad." Lin Tianheng nodded, thinking that his vision was indeed good.
"Ancestor is so complimentary." Lin Yicong said respectfully, but his heart felt as sweet as honey. Among the younger generations of the Lin family, he was the first person to receive such praise from his ancestor!
"In the next few days, the ancestor will personally take you on a trip. At that time, I will help you find an internal skill that will make rapid progress. You must work hard to advance to the acquired heaven as quickly as possible, and even reach the innate world. Listen.
Do you understand?" Lin Tianheng said seriously.
"Thank you, ancestor, for your grace." Lin Yicong quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Not to mention that he was a junior, even the head of the family, Lin Junhao, had never enjoyed such treatment. How could Lin Yicong not be excited!
The ancestor personally took him out to practice. What a gift it was. The ancestor was whispering advice every day. Lin Yicong believed that he would soar into the sky, and he even began to think about the days after he became the head of the family.
"By the way, let's go to the Tibetan Weapon Pavilion next door to pick out a weapon first," Lin Tianheng said.
"Thank you, ancestor, for the reward." Lin Yicong said excitedly. What an honor it is to be able to go to the ancestor's Tibetan Arms Pavilion to choose weapons by himself!
Not long after, Lin Yicong came back carrying a large dragon-queen sword that was half his body height. Lin Tianheng's eyelids jumped wildly when he saw it.
"This boy actually uses such a weapon. He is really blinding his handsome face, which is even more charming than my ancestor!" Lin Tianheng said in his heart.
However, the candidate has been bound, so there is no need to worry about such trivial details, so Lin Tianheng stunned Lin Yicong with a pointer, and then took him through time to another world.
