New and dark light years

Chapter 34: Strength Over Desire

After finishing a set of spear skills, Li Lin made a spear flower and put the red tassel spear aside.

There was no sound in the court.

After a while, Huang Qi asked, "Cousin, how is Kun Ge's spearmanship?"

The middle-aged man who had suggested that Li Lin practice with his spear nodded happily. "He's a natural talent... Although only a hint of it can be grasped at the spear's essence at this age, it's extremely rare. I never thought such a talent could be found in this southern border. He shouldn't be a spirit hunter, he should be a warrior."

Huang Yan said calmly in the hall: "A warrior can cultivate as long as he has vigorous Qi and blood, but a spirit hunter truly needs talent."

"That's true." The man nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Li Lin and said, "Brother Li, I am Huang Qi's cousin, Huang Xiu, also known as Ziyue."

"Brother Ziyue!" Li Lin clasped his fists.

"I also like shooting very much and would like to learn from you. How about it?" Huang Xiu said with a smile.

"I'm just a beginner, and I've only mastered the basics of marksmanship. Let's learn from each other and compete with each other."

Huang Qi said with a smile: "Why don't you go to my house? The backyard can be used as a martial arts training ground. You can make as much noise as you want. Let's go!"

So the three of them bowed to Huang Yan and left the court.

After the three figures disappeared outside the courtroom, Huang Yan snorted, looked at Zhang Minsheng coldly, and said, "Now that you've seen the whole thing, what else do you have to say?"

"This Li Xunshou is definitely not an evil cultivator, nor is he possessed by a ghost." Zhang Minsheng bowed his head and clasped his fists, saying, "This humble official made an arbitrary judgment. However, I still think that since this Li Xunshou has no real roots, it's not a good idea to rashly allow him to become a spirit hunter."

"No roots?" Huang Yan snorted, dissatisfiedly saying: "Look at his appearance, how is he not like a Han boy? Or is it that among the Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman and Beidi, there is no one who can grow up to be as handsome as him?"

Zhang Minsheng lowered his head and said, "But after all, his origins are unknown!"

"Hey, you're from an unknown background?" A sneer crossed Huang Yan's face. "During that incident sixty years ago, your Demon Exorcism Division acted recklessly, forcing countless good families into hiding. Now that they're willing to come out, you're unwilling to acknowledge them as descendants of the Han family? Or are you afraid they'll bring up old scores?"

Zhang Minsheng took a step back and continued with his head down, "Your Excellency has wronged me. Sixty years ago, I wasn't even born yet."

Huang Yan picked up the gavel and slammed it on the table. "Li Lin is currently registered as a resident of Yulin County. I don't care what his previous status was. He is now a spirit hunter under my command. If the Demon Exorcism Bureau has any objections, please have your governor come and talk to me. Do you understand?"

Zhang Minsheng bowed and said nothing more, showing his submission.

On the other side, Li Lin, Huang Qi and Huang Xiu came to the backyard of Huang's mansion.

The person who came to serve tea was not a servant, but the eldest daughter of the Huang family, Huang Qing.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a dazzling hairpin and bright rouge on her lips. The fragrance of flowers was intoxicating, and her face had a shy blush.

Huang Qi's expression was encouraging, while Huang Xiu's smile was somewhat ambiguous.

Li Lin is not a fool. Seeing this scene, he knows that he seems to have been favored by the "Hu Ji" in front of him. These two "big brothers" are setting up a blind date for him.

He carefully looked at the girl in front of him. Although her appearance was not as delicate as his sister Huang Ling, her face was dignified and elegant, and quite attractive. Her figure was slim but not without plumpness, which perfectly matched his aesthetic taste.

"Sorry to bother you, Sister Huang." Li Lin nodded slightly.

Huang Qing became even more shy, but still bowed slightly and said, "Brother Shi, you're welcome."

Then she carried the tea tray and walked away slowly with lotus steps.

Huang Xiu smiled and said, "Sister Qing is getting more and more beautiful. By the way, Kunge, I heard from Brother Qi that you want to learn magic?" Li Lin replied, "I have already entered the rank, but I don't have any secret manuals of magic. I only have strength but no place to use it."

"You've reached the rank level so quickly!" Huang Xiu was a little surprised: "You've been a spirit hunter for less than a year."

Li Lin nodded: "More than half a year."

"That's indeed a gift." Huang Xiu pulled out a handwritten manuscript he had prepared long ago and placed it on the table. "This is a manual of magic I accidentally picked up several years ago. It belongs to the minor branch of thunder magic, the Falling Thunder Curse. I don't have much talent, so I can't master it. I'll give it to Kun Ge."

Li Lin didn't pick it up immediately. He knew very well how precious a book of magic secrets was.

Even an ordinary mental method like the rejuvenation and health-preserving exercise has to be sold for one or two taels of silver, not to mention a real secret book of magic, which is the most powerful offensive technique, the thunder method.

"Kunge, you don't like thunder magic?" Huang Xiu asked curiously.

Li Lin shook his head: "Spells are hard to come by and too precious to be taken casually."

Huang Qi and Huang Xiu looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

If Li Lin took it out of impatience, the two of them would not look down on him, but that would be it.

They don't like people who only focus on strength and don't care about the occasion and friendship.

But Li Lin's current state is consistent with their perception of a 'gentleman'.

Pursue power while exercising restraint.

Huang Xiu pushed the secret book in front of Li Lin and said, "This is a personal gift from me to Kun Ge. There are no strings attached. It's just a small gift between good friends."

Huang Qi also said, "Brother Kunge, just accept it. There are not many spirit hunters in Yulin County now. The stronger you are, the better it will be for us in Yulin County."

Li Lin was silent for a moment, then he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Ziyue. If you have any problems in the future, please feel free to come to me."

Huang Qi and Huang Xiu laughed at the same time. They knew that things were almost done.

The atmosphere was very good afterwards. The three of them chatted for about an hour, and then Li Lin apologized and left.

He had to go to the market to buy supplies and return to the village before nightfall, so he didn't have much time.

After Li Lin left, Huang Qi waved towards a window.

Soon, the Huang sisters came out from behind the door and sat down at the stone table.

Huang Xiu smiled and said, "Congratulations, sister Qing, you have found your ideal husband."

Huang Qing lowered his head and did not dare to raise it.

But anyone could see her joy.

Huang Ling sighed and said, "Why do you like this Li Xunshou so much? I think he is very ordinary and not worthy of my sister."

Huang Qi shook his head and said, "Little sister, you can't say that. If you're picky about people, they'll probably criticize you too. It's rare that Kun Ge and Big Sister like each other. What's more, in our Huang family, when marrying off a daughter, there's no need for the man to have a prominent family background. Our Huang family is his best family background. Let alone a talent like Brother Kun Ge, even if he were an ordinary person, our Huang family would be able to support him."

Huang Qing also lowered his head and whispered, "Little sister, I only like him, I don't want anyone else."

When the two men heard this, they burst into laughter!
