The sword eats the world

Chapter 28 Xue Lin
As if he was afraid that Sword Master Luo Man would come after him and promise greater benefits, Ling Yun walked out quickly and came to the front hall.

The moment he entered the front hall, almost everyone stopped talking at the same time, and their eyes fell on the silver badge with a sword mark on his chest.As a swordsman, no one does not understand the meaning of this silver badge.

Tier [-] Sword Master!
Swordsman and swordsman, although the difference between the two is only one word, but when everyone saw the badge, they understood at the same time that after Ling Yun was successfully promoted to a swordsman, the gap between him and them, no matter the status Or status, have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Previously, when they learned that Ling Yun was here to participate in the sword master assessment, everyone just respected and envied him, but after he successfully passed the assessment and wore the sword master badge, all they could do was look up, and Deep awe from the heart.

Even a ninth-level swordsman, as long as he has not been promoted to a sword master for a day, he will never be able to compare with the status of a sword master, even if the opponent is a first-level sword master.

No matter how powerful a swordsman is, he is only a swordsman after all.

As long as ordinary people have good qualifications and talents, and work hard, sooner or later, they will be able to cultivate to the level of a ninth-level swordsman.But after reaching the ninth level, if they want to go one step further and step into the palace of sword masters, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky.

Sword master, that is a cruel watershed, ruthlessly rejecting those swordsmen who have put in countless efforts to resist the door, making them despair to death.

There are absolutely tens of thousands of high-level swordsmen in the Ziyun Empire, but the sword masters...

Ling Yun's gaze scanned the hall, and all the swordsmen whom he scanned lowered their heads respectfully, saluting humbly.

This is the respect of the weak for the strong, and this is an undisputed rule born after millions of years of development.

Ling Yun turned a blind eye to everyone's saluting, and he had seen many such scenes on Earth before.It's just that the gazes of these people reminded him of his current identity change.

It is true that sword master level masters have various incomparable advantages, but with it, there are also major forces trying their best to win over and make friends, which can be seen from the reaction of Roman sword master.If he didn't want to worry about various invitations, banquets and other things, he'd better take off his badge and enter it as an ordinary swordsman like an ordinary swordsman who wants to enter the city.

Under the surprised gazes of all the swordsmen, Ling Yun put his professional badge in his pocket, didn't linger any longer, and left the swordsman's guild directly, leaving behind the infinite envy and longing of many swordsmen.

After Ling Yun went out, he walked directly to the temple next to him. With the sword master professional badge, he no longer needed to worry about accepting the money for the temple mission.

After leaving the Sword Masters Guild, they only walked a few steps, when a crisp voice suddenly came from the side.

"Lin Cheng, stop!"

Ling Yun was startled for a moment, then recalled that this was calling him.He raised his head and looked to the side of the street looking for the sound.

The one who stopped him was a girl who was sixteen or seventeen years old.This young girl has a handsome appearance, with a dashing heroism revealed between her brows. She is tall and slender, with a long sword on her waist, she looks quite like an ancient heroine.Moreover, in his memory, he was vaguely familiar with this girl.

At this moment, the girl was coming quickly, and she was threatening Ling Yun with a strange resentment: "Lin Cheng, do you still have this family in your heart? It has been two full years since it disappeared, and no matter how we inquire about it, there is still no voice. If it weren't for the existence of the secret method, the family members would have thought you were dead. As the heir of the family, how could you run around so irresponsibly? How can your father trust you in the future? "

Ling Yun was somewhat baffled by this young girl's scolding, and it took a while to think of this young girl based on Lin Cheng's memory. Isn't she the cheap little sister Lin Xue whose qualifications are countless times higher than Lin Cheng's?
In the past two years, he has devoted all his attention to cultivation, and he has never cared about the affairs of the world. If this girl hadn't mentioned it suddenly, he would have even forgotten that Lin Cheng still has the identity of an heir to a declining family.

However, Lincheng is Lincheng, Lingyun is Lingyun, whether the family inherits or not, prosperity and decline, has nothing to do with him.

Waving his hand, Ling Yun smiled irresponsibly: "But why make a fuss when you leave Nianxu. Family matters, you can figure it out. Anyway, with my qualifications, even if I inherit the position of family patriarch in the future, I will definitely not be able to Carry it forward, if this is the case, why impose the so-called family responsibility on me."

His indifferent demeanor made Lin Xue, who attached great importance to the family's honor, flush with anger: "As the heir of our family, you actually said such unprogressive words. According to the family rules, at least You will have to stay in confinement for three months. It seems that your two years of life have already let An Yi corrode your ambition, have you completely forgotten the family glory that our Lin family children carry on their backs?"

Ling Yun didn't care much about the so-called family glory and dignity, but said with a look of doubt: "I really don't understand, you have such ambitions, and your own strength has reached five...six levels of swordsmanship." The level of a scholar is definitely called a talent. Whether it is means or strength, you are much better than me. Why is it that I am the one who inherits the family instead of you? Could it be that the thoughts of the elders of the family have been so rotten that even Don't you have any sense of judgement?"

When Lin Xue heard this, she was startled: "Brother, you, you actually talked about the elder's right and wrong?"

In Lin Cheng's memory, he was extremely in awe of those elders who had reached the eighth level of swordsman, treating them like wolves and tigers.But at this moment, Ling Yun is already a dignified and official swordsman, and his own strength is directly catching up to the second-level swordsman, and he was an innate Mahayana in his lifetime, and he was even higher than the Roman swordsman with the third-level cultivation base. With this When you cultivate your horizons and see a few eighth-level swordsmen, how can you take them seriously?

"They can't even make this most basic decision, so what's wrong with me telling them off?"

"You, are you not afraid of being expelled from the family? Since then, you have lost the protection of the family?"

Ling Yun shook his head.Flowers in a greenhouse can never afford to grow.

"Okay, Lin Xue, your ability is far superior to mine. I believe that entrusting the family to you is definitely better than being defeated by me. I believe you have always thought so in your heart." After finishing speaking, Ling Yun He waved his hand, and didn't want to waste time on this Lin Xue, so he said directly: "Don't come looking for me again, leave."

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Ling Yun wanted to leave so much, Lin Xue suddenly panicked, hurriedly chased after a few steps, stopped in front of Ling Yun, and said anxiously: "Brother, what I said just now was wrong. You realize that your importance to the family has been overstated, and I sincerely apologize to you here."

Ling Yun felt inexplicable for a while, his cheap little sister changed her face faster than turning the pages of a book.

Lin Xue looked at him sincerely, her jewel-like eyes flashed with pitiful pleading: "Brother, I know. Whether it is strength or perseverance, I can't compare to you. Not only me, but our whole family There's no one like you."

"Not as good as me? Could it be that there's something really special about Lin Cheng?" Ling Yun quickly flipped through Lin Cheng's memory, and browsed through it, but after a while, the result he came up with was——Lin Cheng From birth to the end of his soul, he has been doing nothing, and the mediocre can no longer be mediocre.And, it is true.

Before Ling Yun could veto her ability, Lin Xue spoke again: "The family has exhausted its financial resources, and has been persistently looking for you for two full years, and officially appointed you as the successor of the patriarch. Your decision has won the support of the entire family. In fact, all your efforts and achievements over the years have been noticed by everyone in the family, and there is no need for you to hide it anymore..."

"Wait." Feeling the ambiguity in her words, Ling Yun frowned and asked: "All my efforts and achievements? Why did I work hard? How did I achieve success? It seems that I have not made any contribution to the family."

When Lin Xue heard his rhetorical question, she smiled sassyly, and immediately gave people a feeling of spring breeze: "Lin Cheng, my good brother, stop pretending. Don't you know? You and Brilliant Academy Ya The contest between Senior Nuo is now known to everyone." Speaking of this, Lin Xue, who has always been a bit high-spirited, looked at him with a trace of fiery admiration: "For the revival and glory of the family, all My children are all doing their best to practice and study, and so am I. At first, I thought that I worked hard enough and had enough hardships. But I didn’t realize until I went to my elder brother’s college to ask your classmates about your deeds. These cultivations are really nothing compared to you."

"Yarno of Brilliant Academy..." Ling Yun sort of understood.

Lin Xue continued to speak at this time: "This is what your bedmate Green said personally. Once you practice, you may even sit for a few days without moving. And in order to save all the time for cultivation , You have never participated in any college activities at all, and you have dedicated your whole life to the road of cultivation. Only you, with such amazing perseverance and will to practice, have put in ten times, or even a hundred times more effort than others, to be able to grow old At only 16 years old, he has already reached the level of a seventh-level swordsman!"

After Ling Yun traveled through Chenglin City, his cultivation was indeed a bit too hard.At that time, he was almost powerless. In order to survive in this world where force is paramount, can he not work hard?However, he has only practiced for a few months. It seems that Green's big mouth must be bragging about his efforts as much as possible, and he can't explain it even if he wants to.

The strength of the seventh-level swordsman has been exposed, and Ling Yun no longer hides it. He nodded and said: "I admit that I have certain strength, and I have also made certain efforts. However, being strong does not mean that I can be the leader of a family." long."

Hearing Ling Yun's confession, Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief.She smiled sweetly, and suddenly it seemed that the light in the world was brighter: "If it weren't for your battle with Senior Yanuo, the head of the Ziyun Empire branch of our Lin family saw the development potential of our line, our Lin family How could your family status have improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and you have given us all the attention? Now not only the Lord of Scorching Sun City is polite to our family, but even His Majesty the Emperor of Ziyun Empire has personally issued an order to condolences to our family's recent situation , and rewarded a large number of treasures, and promoted officials to ranks. So, do you still think that you have not made any contribution to the family?"
