When Lin Yi simply ran away, a flash of contempt flashed in the eyes of Wang Yuluo and Huang Yiting. They immediately fell silent, as if they had not spoken about anything a second ago..
While Lin Yi himself wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Life didn't prepare him for this!
After all, they are both martial arts experts – and what kind of ones, too. He had the feeling that if he stayed for a couple of minutes, they would start fighting.
Linghu Feng arrived on time.
Although now he didn’t understand why his older brother looked like he had run away from pursuit. After thinking for a while, he looked back and saw Wang Yuluo leaving his room, followed by Huang Yiting. Now everything became clear to him, a smile involuntarily stretched on his lips.
But they were only discussing which of these two girls would become Lin Yi’s chosen one. Apparently someone spilled the beans - or they themselves felt the spirit of rivalry that had accumulated over these two months.
Linghu Feng couldn't help but imagine himself in the same room with his younger sister Liang Rulu and Duan Feifei - this scene made him horrified.
But then he felt anxious.
Duan Feifei was still to him that young girl with whom he drank and had heart-to-heart conversations. The first one he could open up to.
Three years have passed. What happened to her? Was she able to find her father? Will they have to fight this war? And what should he do if he meets her on the battlefield??It was like he had opened Pandora's box. The thoughts that Linghu Feng had been hiding from all these years had finally found their way..
If it weren't for older brother Lin, who cut their relationship at the root, what would his fate have been like??
Internally, he understood that Lin Yi did this for his own good, but how could he so easily cut off the only person he managed to love from him??
Rivers overflow their banks, sometimes dry up, but never stop flowing. So he constantly returned his thoughts to Duan Feifei.
Lin Yi, of course, had no idea what thoughts were bothering Linghu Feng. He was just grateful for the rescue.
However, this too faded into the background. What's important now is to prepare to fight the evil cults before the demon spies report that he's done with his training..
When he and Linghu Feng entered the hall of the lord's estate, it was already crowded with people from all over Kaifeng. Each faction sent its experts - if they did not reach the peak of the first class, then there was no place for them at the table, but no one complained, everyone stood silently along the walls.
In general, the scene was reminiscent of the very first gathering, with only one exception: no one doubted him as a leader anymore, and as soon as he was noticed, the faces of everyone in the hall lit up.
“Sword God!”
“Brother Lin!”
“Big Brother Lin has come!”
Everyone stood up and greeted him one after another, the voices mixed and turned into continuous noise. But this only showed how highly people appreciated his achievements.
Almost everyone was convinced that he was a worthy leader.
Even the Shaolin people no longer showed hostility openly, instead they all smiled, folded their hands in a gesture of politeness, and the Awakened Monk said hello for everyone:
“Amitabha, Lin and the Five Mountain Swords. I'm sure I will express everyone's opinion when I say that we are very glad to have you back.”
Although he stole their leadership position and took all the glory for himself, he paid back with the heads of countless demons. In just a few campaigns against vicious cults, he almost completely stopped the advance of troops into the lands of Shaolin.
Lin Yi, although he had the right to any orders, continued to work for the benefit of Shaolin. Therefore, no matter how stingy they were, they could at least show gratitude.
“Are you happy? With the Sword God, everyone is not only happy, everyone is ecstatic! Each of his campaigns ended in devastating success, maybe this time we’ll kill everyone?!”
“So I experience the same feelings. It seems that as soon as the Sword God came, all doubts went away!”
“Haha, that's for sure! Victory will be for the righteous!”
“Evil has existed since ancient times, but I feel that Lin Yi will be the one to make the final push and bring the enemy such defeat that there will be no one to recover!”
“First we need to at least expel them from the Central Plains, and then we’ll see how everything goes. In any case, as long as the Sword God leads us, victory will be ours!”
“That's right, that's right!”
Victory after victory, each louder than the last.
The higher you fly, the more painful it is to fall. Just one mistake could cost him his entire reputation, and their entire morale..
Not to mention that there were only crumbs of truth in these words. This is the current fist world - people shouted what brought them more benefit. The experts knew how to control their emotions, and although they succumbed to each other's auras, there was a cold grain inside them, watching to ensure that their personal benefits were respected first.
As soon as a conflict of interest arises, Lin Yi will suddenly turn from the Sword God into a Bloodthirsty Devil who must be gotten rid of.
Of course, Lin Yi had no contempt for these people. The world of politics made them like this, nothing can be done about it.
After all, he himself first of all thought about personal interests.
The old demon, who had been fighting for decades, knew the laws of the jungle better than others. Whoever has the bigger fist is right.
Therefore, putting on a slight smile, Lin Yi modestly said:
“Please, no need to praise me. All our victories are possible only thanks to our common work. Don't create idols, believe in yourself.”
People laughed, but nodded to themselves. On the one hand, the fact that Lin Yi is not a fool and understands everything beautiful is bad, because it will be more difficult to take advantage of him. On the other hand, it’s good, for the same reason, because otherwise Shaolin would probably have taken advantage, and everyone would have gotten even worse.
After waiting for everyone to calm down and become silent, Lin Yi took a chair and said with a serious expression on his face:
“I propose not to beat around the bush, but to immediately get down to what we are here for. I propose to launch a counterattack and finally go on the offensive against the vicious cults!”
Everyone nodded - no one expressed any doubts or objections. Lin Yi had already demonstrated his abilities and capabilities, so even no proposals were received from anyone - everyone listened silently and waited for orders.
Such was the power of reputation. Maybe, one by one, many of them would have decided to voice their objections and wishes, but in a fanatical group, any voices will drown, never reaching the minds of people. Even those who agree will probably scream against it in order to remain part of the pack.
“The first two battles showed how much stronger we are than the vicious cults, and now they have become even weaker. The losses were very heavy for their side; I am sure that the enemy’s morale has not yet recovered. However, the main enemy forces remained intact. This is evidenced at least by the fact that Kaifeng’s entourage remained in place. Demons understand that the initiative is theirs and do not want to let it go. So we'll have to take it away by force.!”
He clenched his fist, and at the same time his aura tightened, causing all the hearts to skip a beat..
“However, this time you can't attack like always. The games are over, this time we will not retreat, but destroy the real commanders. This time we won't bite, but devour them whole! So get ready for a tough battle..”
Having predicted the obvious question, Lin Yi will continue:
“We leave at dawn. The news that I'm done with training will definitely fall into their hands. Therefore, they will wait for the attack all night, and we will attack in the morning, when the enemy is most tired!”
He glanced at the people who had begun to smile and finished:
“The same people will participate in the battle as last time - exclusively the elite. Rest this night so that you have full strength in the morning! Available!”
No one raised any objections. Under the face of the crowd, people did not even dare to ask questions, they just lowered their heads and dispersed, rubbing their fists and trying to keep their emotions in check..
«What will the next dawn bring??» “was the question on everyone's mind.”
The heirs of the platinum arts were especially excited. They had all become Lin Yi's fans a long time ago, so now they almost couldn't control themselves.
After leaving the hall, Lin Yi returned to his room. The girls left his room as clean as if it had just been built. The soup also stood still. When he touched it, he found that it was still hot. Obviously, Yuluo was warming him up. Probably more than once.
He involuntarily felt a warmth in his heart.
And he drank it in one gulp, groaning with pleasure..
It was very tasty - so much so that I wanted to lick the plate. It is unlikely that Yuluo, the princess of Hangzhou, knew how to cook, she probably learned this skill just for the sake of it.
Lin Yi sighed softly: “Silly».
Putting the plate back, he sat in the lotus position and focused on his inner strength..
When his eyes opened, the sky had brightened and the sun peeked over the horizon..
After leaving his room, he went after the disciples of the Five Mountain Swords and found them in the same room, in full gear. Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction and led them along..
It's time for war.
