If others saw this scene, they would definitely think that there was probably a poetry and painting reception held in the Lin Mansion. But the handyman knew that this was not the case.
"It turns out that it's April 13th of the same year again." The handyman was relieved, but his interest was waning. He lay on the bed again and fell asleep.
Everyone has his own hobbies, and also has another side that is unknown. For example, during the day, the handyman is ordinary and honest, but he does not dare to take a second look at the beautiful maid. At night, he dreams of one day getting a beautiful lady.
of favor, hugging me from left to right.
For example, Mr. Lin Xiaotian, who is extremely serious in people's minds and has a straight face all day long, always stays up all night on April 13th of every year, drinking and painting alone...
Cuiyun took the other little maids into the room, put the brushes and papers neatly, brought the wine, and left in a hurry. During the whole process, no one dared to say a word, and no one dared to stay here.
.
Drinking alone should be a very lonely and depressing thing. However, the Lin family is at its peak. It has grown from an unknown family thirteen years ago to one of the eight major families in the city. But the head of the family, Lin Xiaotian, has to
Do you drink alcohol on April 13th every year?
This seems to be a strange thing.
But after such a strange thing happened for thirteen years, the maids no longer found it strange.
The wind outside the door had not stopped yet, and Lin Xiaotian seemed to feel a chill, so he raised his head and took a sip of hot wine and closed the door.
Under the light, the room was very quiet. He was the only one in the room, as if he was the only one left in the whole world at this moment.
However, even though he was alone, Lin Xiaotian, who was usually relatively taciturn, started to speak.
"Time flies so fast, it's been thirteen years in a flash." Lin Xiaotian said as he raised his head and drank.
He spread out the drawing paper very skillfully and began to draw. While he was drawing, he would stop and mutter a few words from time to time.
It was as if there was an old confidant beside him.
Time passed by unconsciously, maybe an hour passed, maybe not. It started to rain outside the window, and the rain became heavier and heavier, swaying in the strong wind.
But Lin Xiaotian remained unmoved and concentrated on his paintings wholeheartedly.
That was a landscape painting. Coincidentally, there was also a landscape painting hanging on the wall behind Lin Xiaotian.
The painting is called "Tulu Xiu Shui Tu", and it depicts a scene in the Puying City area, close to Tulu Mountain.
What Lin Xiaotian painted at this time was also "Tulu Xiu Shui". The only difference was that the painting behind him was more natural, and where the painting was signed, there was the word "Qin".
"Thirteen years have changed a lot of things. The Lin family has become stronger, and so have I. It's just a pity that I never had the chance to draw a perfect painting." Lin Xiaotian looked at his painting and then looked at it again.
Looking at the painting on Qiang, a look of reminiscence gradually appeared in his eyes.
At that time, in the Tulu Mountains, he and Qin Xiaochi were as close as brothers. The two drank and painted. At that time, he did not have any prominent status, but he lived a relaxed and carefree life...
However, just as Lin Xiaotian was secretly thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who is it? Don't you know that when I'm drinking and painting, I'm not allowed to disturb anything?" Lin Xiaotian thought it was some blind servant in the house and shouted sternly at the door.
However, the man outside the door did not reply or leave. Instead, he pushed the locked door open with a big hand. The cold wind and rain poured in as the door opened wide. .
Anger appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face, and he stared closely at the uninvited guest who broke in through the door and wore a raincoat and bamboo hat. He was the first person to dare to break into his room since the Lin family became one of the eight major families in the royal city.
However, this uninvited guest was extremely calm, and he seemed to be very familiar with this room. He took off his raincoat and bamboo hat, and hung them calmly on the clothes rack on the right side of the door.
At this time, Lin Xiaotian finally saw the figure clearly, and the look on his face became stunned in an instant.
"Father-in-law? It's so late, why are you here?" Lin Xiaotian said respectfully.
There is only one person in this world who can be called father-in-law by Lin Xiaotian. There is no doubt that this person is the dean of Qianwu Academy, Yuan Beishan.
Yuan Beishan is undoubtedly a real big shot in the royal city, and his cultivation level has even stepped into the realm of true martial arts. Even though he is over a hundred years old, he still looks full of energy and does not look old at all. state.
Yuan Beishan turned his head, glanced at the paintbrushes scattered on the table and the "Tulu Xiushui" behind Lin Xiaotian, and frowned inadvertently.
"Put away that painting. Some people and things are not worth remembering." This was the first sentence Yuan Beishan said.
His voice was not harsh, but it contained a domineering and unquestionable tone.
Lin Xiaotian frowned slightly. Of course he knew that the person and thing Yuan Beishan was referring to was his former sworn brother, Qin Xiaochi.
Lin Xiaotian did not express his position on this matter. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "My father-in-law came to visit on a rainy night. He just wanted to remind me of this."
Yuan Beishan said: "The general is already angry."
"General?" Lin Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed. That general was undoubtedly the most terrifying existence in the entire Daqian Kingdom.
Yuan Beishan said: "You should know that the cold air on Lin Xue's body and the intervention of the Ice and Snow Palace have caused some variables in the general's plan. And Prince Chu's failure in the arena competition has amplified this variable. Several times."
Lin Xiaotian said: "Don't you have the same opinion as me about the arena competition? In the wrestling between the royal family and the generals, it is still unknown who will lose and who will win. We should not make a choice too early."
There was a trace of anger in Yuan Beishan's eyes, "However, there are some little shrimps who are causing trouble. He should not be allowed to appear. This will make the situation in the royal city even more chaotic."
"What do you mean?" Lin Xiaotian was shocked.
"Qin Feng must die." Yuan Beishan said firmly.
After saying this, he looked at Lin Xiaotian's new painting and snorted: "What? Do you still have to take into account that ridiculous brotherhood? Don't forget, what did you do thirteen years ago?" Chosen!"
"Since Qin Feng comes from the Qin family in Puying City, he is destined to be our enemy in the future. The faster he grows and the more attention he attracts, the worse it will be for us! Those who achieve great things cannot be benevolent as women." Here, Yuan Beishan sighed slightly and said: "Forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter. I have already made arrangements. Tomorrow is the day of the trial in Yinwu Mountain, which is a good time to get rid of him." Chance."
Lin Xiaotian said nothing. He had thought about killing Qin Feng countless times. But today was undoubtedly a special day.
April 13th was the day when he and Qin Xiaochi became sworn brothers with different surnames. Every time this day came, he couldn't help but think of his mysterious and powerful brother who was extremely generous to others. Sometimes Lin Xiaotian would also I can't help but think about whether that decision made thirteen years ago was wrong...
If I made a mistake back then, am I unable to go back and must I continue to make a mistake now?
Yuan Beishan did not notice the change in Lin Xiaotian's expression, and continued: "Besides, what you need to pay attention to is the matter of the Ice and Snow Palace. The messenger has revealed the news that the elders of the Ice and Snow Palace will come to the royal city in the near future. .”
"So fast?" Lin Xiaotian was shocked again. The Ice and Snow Palace is undoubtedly a real behemoth, and its power far exceeds that of the Daqian Kingdom.
The elders in the Ice and Snow Palace have such a noble status that they are the king of the Daqian Kingdom, and they must obey them. Such beings are truly important people.
"You should know what to do." Yuan Beishan said again, turned around and threw himself into the wind and rain.
Yuan Beishan's arrival was like a gust of wind and rain, coming and going quickly, without any stop or any sloppiness. His conversation with Lin Xiaotian was not like the conversation that a father-in-law and his uncle should have.
He just came to the Lin Mansion to do business. Apart from the business he had to do, nothing else seemed important. If people have two sides, the other side of Yuan Beishan seemed to not exist. He was so rational. , so rational that he has no emotions whatsoever.
Lin Xiaotian was left alone in the room again. He stood in front of the door and was unable to say another word for a long time. His whole body was in a fierce struggle...
The rainy night begins to clear up, the morning light gradually lights up in the eastern sky, and the earth wakes up from the dark night. This is another brand new day.
Under the morning light, the little handyman in the Lin Mansion had already gotten up. He was walking on the road with his head slightly bowed. When he saw the beautiful girl, he still did not dare to take another look. The honest and honest expression on his face, It is also well known to people.
The night seems to be the reflection of the day. People's faces change with the alternation of day and night.
The expression on Lin Xiaotian's face gradually became cold and calm. This expression is also familiar to people. It seems that the person who remembered the past, drank and painted last night was just his reflection...
In Lingxiao Academy, crowds began to gather in the direction of Hidden Mist Mountain. This day was the day when elite disciples went to the outskirts of Hidden Mist Mountain for trials.
The Daqian Kingdom is a kingdom that stands in a land full of ferocious beasts. Even now, it still faces the threat of ferocious beasts from time to time. The purpose of practicing martial arts is to protect the family and the country, not to use weapons.
The so-called trial is to apply what you have learned. It is one thing to have advanced cultivation, but it is another thing to use your cultivation to fight against ferocious beasts.
All the elite disciples who participate in the trial have a cultivation level above the third level of the Xuanling Realm, and have passed the test of the evil beast illusions of the seven evil-suppressing monuments in the forest of evil-suppressing monuments.
If you can't even withstand the illusions in the seven evil-suppressing monuments, you are not qualified to participate in the trial. After all, the real ferocious beasts are several times more ferocious than the illusions.
Qin Feng opened the door of his room, his eyes full of light. He had been waiting for the trial of Hidden Mist Mountain for a long time.
At this moment, Li Ying stepped forward. Yesterday, he walked away angrily because Qin Feng did not listen to advice, but today, he is still here.
