The twenty-third family
As if afraid that Roman Sword Master would chase him out and promise greater benefits, Ling Yun quickly walked out and came to the front hall.
When he entered the vestibule, almost everyone stopped talking at the same time, and their eyes fell on the silver badge with a sword seal on his chest. As a swordsman, no one did not understand the meaning of this silver badge.
First-level sword master!
Although the swordsman and swordsman are only one word different, when everyone saw the badge, they also understood that as Ling Yun successfully promoted to a master of the swordsman level, the gap between them, both in terms of identity and status, has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Previously, when they learned that Ling Yun was here to participate in the swordsman assessment, everyone was just respectful and envious, but as he successfully passed the assessment and put on the swordsman badge, all they could do was look up and deep awe from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if a level nine swordsman is not promoted to a swordsman level master in one day, he will never be able to compare with the status of a swordsman, even if the other party is a first-level swordsman.
No matter how powerful a swordsman is, he is just a swordsman after all.
As long as ordinary people have good qualifications and talents, and hard work, they will sooner or later be able to cultivate to the level of a level nine swordsman. However, after reaching the level nine, if they want to go further and enter the palace of swordsman, it is like a difficult time as if they ascend to heaven.
The swordsman was a cruel watershed, ruthlessly resisting the swordsmen who had put countless efforts outside the door, making him desperate to death.
There are absolutely tens of thousands of high-level swordsmen in the entire Ziyun Empire, but the swordsman...
Ling Yun swept around the hall, and all the swordsmen who were swept by him bowed their heads respectfully and saluted with humility.
This is the respect of the weak to the strong, and this is the undisputed rule that has been born after nearly millions of years of development.
The salutes of the people were ignorant of the people, and he had seen many of them before on Earth. However, the eyes of these people made him remember the changes in his current identity.
It is true that the swordsman-level masters have various advantages that are incomparable, but they are accompanied by various forces trying to win over and get in. This can be seen from the reaction of Roman Sword Master. If he does not want to worry about various invitations, banquets and other things, it is best to take down the badge like an ordinary swordsman and enter it as an ordinary swordsman.
Under the surprise gaze of the swordsmen, Ling Yun put his professional badge into his pocket, did not stay any longer, and left the swordsman union, 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 swordsman profession badge, he no longer had to worry about accepting the money for the temple mission.
After leaving the Sword Master Union, a few steps later, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side.
"Lincheng, stop!"
Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, and then recalled that he was calling himself. He raised his head and looked at the streets for a look.
The one who called him was a girl who was sixteen or seven years old. The girl looked pretty and showed a cool heroic spirit between her eyebrows. She was tall and wore a long sword on her waist. She looked quite old. Moreover, in his memory, she was still a little familiar with this girl.
At this moment, the girl was coming quickly and looked at Ling Yun with a fierce resentment: "Lin Cheng, do you still have this family in your heart? It has been two years since it disappeared. No matter how we inquire, there is no sound training. If it weren't for the secret sensing, the family members would think you were dead. As the heir of the family, how could you run around so irresponsibly? How could your father be assured to hand over the inheritance rights of the family to you in the future?"
Ling Yun was scolded by this girl for some reason. After a while, it took Lin Cheng's memory to remember this girl. Isn't she the cheapest sister Lin Xue, who is countless times higher than Lin Cheng's qualifications?
In the past two years, he focused all his attention on cultivation and ignored the world. If this girl hadn't mentioned it suddenly, he would have even forgotten that Lin Cheng had the identity of a heir to the fallen family.
However, Lincheng is Lincheng, and his Lingyun is Lingyun. What does the family inheritance or prosperity and decline have to do with him?
After waved his hand, Ling Yun smiled irresponsibly: "But why bother making a fuss about leaving Nianxu. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, with my qualifications, I will inherit the position of the clan leader of the family in the future, and I will definitely not be able to carry forward it. Since that is the case, why put the so-called family responsibilities on me?"
His expression that was not indifferent made Lin Xue, who valued family honors very much, blushed with a little face: "As the heir of our family, you actually said such unprofitable words. According to the family rules, you have to be confined to at least three months. It seems that your life in the past two years has already corrupted your ambitions. Have you completely forgotten the family glory that our Lin family bears on their backs?"
Ling Yun didn't care much about the so-called family glory and dignity, but said with a puzzled look: "I really can't understand that you have such ambitions and your own strength has reached the level of a level 5...6 swordsman, which is absolutely awesome. Whether it is means or strength, you have defeated me a lot. Why is it me who will eventually inherit the family, not you? Are the thoughts of the elders of the family so decayed that they have no such judgment?"
When Lin Xue heard this, she was shocked: "Brother, you, are you actually talking about the right and wrong of the elder?"
In Lin Cheng's memory, he was extremely respectful of the elders who had reached the level eight swordsman's strength and regarded them as wolves and tigers. However, Ling Yun was already a formal swordsman at this moment, and his own strength was also catching up with the second-level swordsman. Moreover, he was a innate Mahayana during his lifetime, and even a Roman swordsman with a third-level cultivation level. With this level of cultivation, how could he take them seriously when he saw a few eight-level swordsman?
"They can't even make up this most basic decision. I scold them, what's wrong?"
"You, aren't you afraid of being expelled from the family? From now on, you will lose the protection of the family?"
Lingyun shook his head. The flowers in the greenhouse can never bear it*.
"Okay, Lin Xue, your ability is far above me. I believe that it is definitely much better to deliver the family to you than to be defeated by me. I believe you have always thought so in your heart." After saying that, Ling Yun waved his hand, and didn't want to waste time on Lin Xue. He said directly: "Don't come to find me again, say goodbye."
"Wait a minute." Lin Xue suddenly became panicked when she saw Ling Yun wanting to leave. She hurriedly chased after him for a few steps, stopped Ling Yun, and said anxiously: "Brother, what I said just now is wrong. In order to make you realize that you are too important to the family, I will apologize to you carefully here."
Ling Yun felt a little confused. His cheap sister changed her face faster than reading a book.
Lin Xue looked at him sincerely, and his gem-like plea flashed with pity: "Brother, I know. I can't compare to you in terms of strength or perseverance. Not only me, no one in our entire family can compare to you."
"I can't compare to me? Could it be that Lin Cheng is really amazing?" Ling Yun quickly turned out Lin Cheng's memory and browsed it roughly, but after a moment, the result he got was that Lin Cheng has been mediocre since his birth and his soul disappeared, and he could not be mediocre. Moreover, this is true.
Before Ling Yun could veto his ability, Lin Xue spoke again: "The family exhausted their financial resources and had been searching for you for two years. They also officially appointed you as the heir of the patriarch. They all passed the decisions of the senior members of the family and received the support of the entire family. In fact, all your efforts and achievements over the years are eye-catching, and there is no need to hide them anymore..."
"Wait." Ling Yun felt the unclear point in her words and frowned and asked, "All my efforts, achievements? How did I work hard? How did I achieve success? It seems that I have not made any contribution to the family."
Lin Xue smiled sarcastically when she heard his question, she immediately gave people a feeling of helping her face with the spring breeze: "Lin Cheng, my good brother, don't pretend anymore. Don't you know? The competition between you and Senior Yano of the Brilliant Academy is now known to everyone." Speaking of this, Lin Xue, who has always been a little above the top, looked at him with a flash of passionate worship: "For the revival and glory of the family, all the children are working hard to cultivate and study, and so do I. Originally, I already thought I was working hard enough and hard enough. But it was not until later that I went to my brother's academy to inquire about your deeds and found that my practice was nothing compared to you."
"Ano of the Brilliant Academy..." Ling Yun understood a little.
Lin Xue continued to say at this time: "This is what your bedmate Green said personally. Once you practice, you may even sit for a few days without moving. Moreover, in order to save all your time to practice, you have never participated in any academy activities and devoted your life to the path of cultivation. Only you, with such amazing perseverance and will, and have made ten or even hundreds of times hard work than others, can you reach the level of a seventh-level swordsman at the age of sixteen!"
After Ling Yun traveled through Chenglin City, his practice was indeed a bit too hard. At that time, he was almost powerless. In order to survive in this world where force is respected, could he not work hard? However, he had only been practicing for a few months. It seemed that Green's big mouth must have boasted about his efforts as much as possible, and he couldn't explain it even if he wanted to.
The strength of the level seven swordsman has been exposed, and Ling Yun nodded and nodded, "I admit that I have certain strength and have made certain efforts. However, being strong does not mean that I can serve as the leader of the family."
