The Heavenly Court is gone, I don't want to be a True Lord.

The next morning, Zuo Qi and his two companions returned from the training ground of the Lin family mansion and heard laughter coming from the guest courtyard. There were Chen Xun's voices, Chun Niang's voices, and a strange but very pleasant-sounding girl's voice.

Soon, he met the person in question.

The weather turned cold in October, and a heater was lit in the courtyard.

A girl in a red dress was sitting with her knees bent in front of the fireplace. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders and her cherry lips were as red as blood. When she heard footsteps, her almond-shaped eyes moved from Chen Xun to Zuo Qi, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"But was it the Left Guest Minister in person?"

The young girl feigned a bold and unrestrained demeanor, but the spoiled air of a pampered young lady raised in seclusion was still quite evident.

"My name is Lin Yujun, and Lin Yuchan is my older sister."

As she spoke, Lin Yujun stood up, revealing her graceful figure.

The most striking feature of her body was her full, rounded chest, followed by her slender waist.

Although she wore a long skirt, the waistband accentuated her high breasts and graceful waist.

"So it's Miss Yujun."

Zuo Qi's heart stirred slightly, and he also clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Lin Yujun said softly, "Didn't my older sister tell you everything?"

Zuo Qi was puzzled.

So Lin Yujun talked about the ancestral home academy. The fourth branch of the family, Lin Yunian, together with the second branch, Lin Yulian, formed a close-knit group called the "No Gap Small Meeting," which meant that the Lin family was very close.

But in reality, the two wanted to join forces and integrate the resources of the younger generation of the Sixth Division to sponsor a boy named Qin Chen from the City Guard Division.

The first gathering of the Uninterrupted Gathering is a competition where all the young students studying at the academy bring their sponsored geniuses to compete. The winner will receive sponsorship from the Uninterrupted Gathering.

Qin Chen is undoubtedly Lin Yunian's chosen one.

After Lin Yujun finished speaking, her eyes sparkled, and she muttered to herself, "I was thinking of having my eldest sister get back the two hundred taels of silver she donated, but I didn't expect her to refuse. If you're not sure you can handle this, then don't go."

After she finished speaking, Zuo gave her a strange look.

This girl speaks in a rather sarcastic tone; I wonder if she's genuinely concerned or just trying to provoke me.

However, Zuo Qi didn't take it to heart; it was just playful banter among the younger generation of the Lin family.

"I am confident that I will not disappoint the two young ladies."

Lin Yujun started muttering again, "The second branch is so generous this time, they actually brought out the Xuanfa martial art - the Dragon-Slaying Halberd Technique. And the fourth branch also brought out two Yuanli Pills. So many good things are going to be given to that Qin Chen."

Zuo Qi was stunned.

Mysterious martial arts techniques? And Yuanli pills that can increase arm strength?

No wonder Lin Yuchan attaches so much importance to it.

Zuo Qi also began to take it seriously. He didn't care about the Yuanli Pill; what he valued was the Dragon-Slaying Halberd Technique. He had always wanted to learn a weapon, but ordinary weapons were too light, so the halberd was just right.

……

night.

Zuo Qi sat cross-legged in the room, with long white steam rising from his mouth and nose, sometimes swirling and sometimes stretching.

Patches of moonlight shone through the paper window and fell onto the ground, dividing it into white patches of varying sizes.

From the outside, it looks as if the person is inhaling and exhaling moonlight.

Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed through the room, then the sound suddenly became more intense, and a series of sounds reverberated.

It sounded like a tiger's roar.

Tiger and leopard thunderous roar, bone refinement perfected.

Zuo Qi slowly opened his eyes, a hint of excitement in them.

The Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound is not a sign of mastering bone refinement; it is only something that a special group of people can achieve, indicating that the bone strength of such people far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Zuo Qi was born with superhuman strength, and to unleash it, he needed to be physically stronger than the average person. It was quite normal for him to be able to master the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound.

After testing his arm strength, Zuo Qi found it had increased again, though he didn't know exactly how much.

Feeling the 103 streams of bone-refining qi and blood within his body.

Once he has accumulated 120 streams of Qi and blood, and with the heart-protecting pills sent by Lin Yuchan, and after finishing all the matters concerning Lin Yujun, he can attempt the Three-Stage Breakthrough.

After breaking through, can we try to destroy the demon's lair marked by the Heavenly Eye?

Zuo Qi's anticipation returned.

……

The next day.

The Lin family ancestral home has a very large layout, especially the training ground in the side courtyard, which is as big as six or seven football fields.

In the very center of the venue, there are countless training equipment. In the very center is the ancestral hall, with a large cauldron placed in front of the door, which is used for worshipping heaven.

Every person has their own social circle, and the Lin family is no exception.

Led by Lin Yulian from the second wife, a group of about ten young men and women, all of whom were members of the Lin family's Yu generation and were studying at the academy, gathered together.

Not everyone is suited to martial arts. There are many people like Lin Yujun who cannot practice martial arts from a young age. Among them are both men and women. Children who study at the academy naturally have less say in the Lin family than those who come from the martial arts academy.

Naturally, a relatively closed circle was formed.

"Yu Jun, who is that person you brought? He looks rather fierce."

Lin Yu from the fifth branch said with a smile that today was the first gathering of their close-knit group, and almost everyone brought along the geniuses their families admired.

Lin Yujun, oblivious to the teasing tone in Lin Yuxiao's voice, happily said, "His name is Zuo Qi, and he's very capable."

Lin Yuxiao didn't say anything more.

Lin Yulian spoke up at this moment, "My father knows about the seamless little association we formed. He approves of it and says we've done a good thing. He also supports us to some extent. We will ask Master Ou to forge the weapons needed for the Dragon-Slaying Halberd Technique."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

The six branches of the Lin family each controlled different businesses. The blacksmith shop under the second branch was the most famous, and many of the weapons used by the garrison were even made by craftsmen under the second branch.

Especially Master Ou, who was said to be able to forge weapons from demonic artifacts that he had cultivated for thirty years. No matter who was from the second branch of the family, they all treated Master Ou with great respect.

Lin Yujun, in particular, has been frequently visiting the guest quarters these past two days. Although she hasn't spoken much with Zuo Qi, she has talked quite a bit with Chen Xun. Chen Xun told her about Zuo Qi's killing of the giant snake at the river mouth, and that he knows the other party is in need of a suitable weapon.

"Uncle Han is really generous."

Someone remarked with emotion.

"Alright, we can talk about the chit-chat later. Let's discuss the competition rules first."

Lin Yulian said with a light laugh.

As the founder and the person who provides the most resources, she naturally calls the shots.

"Fists and feet have no eyes. In order not to damage the harmony of our Lin family, let's have a contest of strength and see who is stronger."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Yunian of the fourth branch of the family, who nodded slightly.

He clearly had a lot of confidence in Qin Chen.

……

Meanwhile, many geniuses were also gathered together, and Zuo Qi stood out in the crowd because of his height.

After all, these days, being 1.8 meters tall is considered tall. When Zuo Qi was measured recently, his height had already reached 1.87 meters.

His gaze would occasionally fall on the young people being surrounded in the distance.

His name was Qin Chen, and he was about twenty years old. He was tall and straight and was wearing the official uniform of the city guard inspector.

"Lord Qin, I didn't expect you to come too."

"I had long heard that Lord Qin was the most outstanding young man in the City Guard in the past ten years. Seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed extraordinary."

Everyone praised it.

Fushan City is both large and small. The martial arts community is only so big. Young people who live in the city for a long time will naturally pay attention to outstanding individuals among their peers.

Qin Chen wore a warm smile, "Miss Yulian's hospitality is too much to refuse, please don't take offense."

Somewhat hypocritical.

Anyone with eyes can see that this so-called gathering today is just an opportunity for Qin Chen to gain fame and fortune, provided by Lin Yulian.

Zuo Qi shook his head slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

What the other person does is none of his business.

Unexpectedly, someone next to them suddenly spoke up.

"Are you Zuo Qi?"

Zuo Qi looked at the newcomer with suspicion. He shouldn't be very famous in Fushan City, so how come someone knows him?

"My name is Zhang Shuo, and Zhang Heng is my younger brother."

The young man looked at Zuo Qi with a sneer, then turned to the others and said, "My brother said that a swindler has come to the Sixth House Manor to gain Miss Lin Yujun's trust. Everyone, we have all received favors from the Lin family, so let's not let them suffer."
