Chapter 2 Lin Hong’s provocation, the cold air broke out!
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and recognized the young man in front of him at a glance. He was Lin Shan's brother Lin Hong.
Lin Hong is the most outstanding junior among the Lin family, besides Lin Xia.
Lin Hong and Lin Shan's father, Lin Mang, was in charge of the Lin family's finances and had much more cultivation resources than Lin Xiao.
Therefore, Lin Hong, who is only fifteen years old, has already reached the sixth level of body tempering!
The current Lin Fan is no match for him.
However, Lin Fan was not worried.
Because Lin Fan knew that Lin Xia should be arriving soon and would stop Lin Hong from taking action.
Even if Lin Xia doesn't come, Lin Fan can still take the Body Tempering Pill, temper his body during battle, and use Lin Hong's attacks to accelerate the refining of the medicine to improve himself!
In fact, the next development was exactly as Lin Fan expected.
The two sides exchanged words first, and then Lin Hong took action against Lin Fan.
However, Lin Hong only made one attack, and Lin Xia arrived in time and stopped Lin Hong from attacking Lin Fan.
Lin Hong was scolded by Lin Xia and planned to leave with Lin Shan.
When he walked to Lin Fan, Lin Hong paused slightly and said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"After half a year's race competition, I will be in the top three, and then I will ask grandpa for permission to let me get engaged to Qingtan, so take good care of Qingtan for me, she is my future wife."
"You have no chance, I promise!" Lin Fan smiled lightly and patted Lin Hong on the head as if he were treating his younger brother.
Lin Fan knew that Lin Hong was deliberately angry with him, so naturally he would not let him get his way.
Moreover, Lin Fan was more confident that Lin Hong would not succeed, so he did not take Lin Hong's provocation to heart.
Lin Fan's words and deeds made Lin Hong furious, but he did not get angry in the end, and left quickly with Lin Shan with a cold face.
After Lin Hong left, Lin Xia encouraged Lin Fan a few words and then left.
Qingtan looked at Lin Xia's slender back and said with some envy: "Sister Lin Xia is so majestic. Even Lin Hong has to bow his head obediently in front of her. If only I were as powerful as Sister Lin Xia."
Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Who told you to be lazy and not focus on practicing?"
"Hehe, then I'll put more effort into practice in the future," Qingtan said with a smile after hearing this.
Lin Fan rubbed Qingtan's head and said with a smile: "It's okay. Although you don't have the strength of Sister Lin Xia, you and I, Brother Lin Dong, will protect you."
"I don't want your protection. I want to work hard to become stronger. I will protect you, Brother Lin Dong, and my parents when the time comes."
Qingtan stuck out her pink little tongue and said cutely.
"Okay, I'll wait for Qingtan to protect me." Lin Fan heard this with a smile on his face.
The two of them were talking and laughing as they headed back to their residence.
Lin Changqiang ran behind them for a short distance. Seeing the sky getting dark, he had no choice but to leave with reluctance.
When Lin Fan and Qingtan returned to their residence, Lin Xiao, Liu Yan and Lin Dong's family were already waiting at the dinner table.
"Fan'er, Qingtan, you are back, come and eat quickly," Liu Yan said softly when she saw Lin Fan and Qingtan coming back.
While talking, Liu Yan was about to serve Lin Fan and Qingtan rice.
Lin Xiao sat at the table silently, while Lin Dong blinked at Lin Fan and Qingtan, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
Lin Fan quickly said: "Thank you, third aunt, I will do it myself."
Lin Fan's parents in this life passed away when he was six years old, and he lived with Lin Xiao and his wife for ten years.
Lin Xiao and his wife regarded him as his own son, and in his heart, they were no different from his real parents.
Lin Fan awakened his past life memories and valued this relationship even more.
While Lin Fan was speaking, he took the rice spoon and served food to several people.
Liu Yan looked at the sensible Lin Fan and felt very pleased.
"Fan'er, did you fight with the Lin Shan brothers again this afternoon?" After dinner, Lin Xiao put down the bowls and chopsticks and said calmly. Hearing this, Qingtan couldn't help but tighten her body, while Liu Yan on the side shook her head and glanced at the two of them angrily.
Qingtan timidly said: "Dad, this happened because of me..."
Lin Xiao glanced at the two of them, his expression did not change much, and asked Lin Fan: "Fan'er, how heavy is your body tempering now?"
Lin Fan said: "I broke through to the fifth level of body tempering two days ago."
"Fifth level, not bad!" Lin Xiao nodded slightly, showing a satisfied look, and then said with some regret, "I delayed you, otherwise, Lin Hong would not be your opponent."
Lin Fan heard the words and said quickly: "Third uncle, please don't say that. If it weren't for you and third aunt, I'm afraid it would be a problem for us to have food and clothing, let alone practice."
After all, cultivation requires resources!
Lin Fan didn't want Lin Xiao to continue to focus on him, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, Lin Dong seems to have made a breakthrough too."
"Oh?" When Lin Xiao heard this, his attention was diverted and he looked at Lin Dong with some surprise, "Give me your hand."
Lin Dong nodded silently and handed over his hand.
Lin Xiao held Lin Dong's arm and flicked it, a look of joy that could not be concealed appeared on his plain face, "Has the fourth level of body tempering been achieved?"
"Yeah," Lin Dong nodded, looking slightly nervous.
It was with the help of stone talismans that he was able to speed up his cultivation.
But he didn't want to expose the existence of the stone talisman. He always felt that it was better not to expose the secret of the stone talisman, otherwise he might be in trouble!
"Haha, good!"
After receiving the confirmation, Lin Xiao burst out laughing, his laughter filled with relief and joy.
Because of the incident that year, Lin Xiao always believed that he had lost a genius to the Lin family and ruined the hope of the family.
Therefore, with his stubborn personality, he has been trying to return another genius to the Lin family these years.
And Lin Dong is naturally the genius that Lin Xiao looks forward to the most!
Now it seems that Lin Dong did not disappoint him.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao remembered something and asked a little doubtfully: "It seems like it has only been ten days since you advanced to the third level of body tempering, right? How could you advance to the third level so quickly?"
Lin Dong blamed the red ginseng he had eaten before as the reason for his improvement in cultivation.
Liu Yan smiled at this time and said: "I heard that some people are blessed with a body that absorbs elixirs much better than ordinary people. Maybe this is the case with Dong'er."
Lin Xiao was a little surprised at first, but Liu Yan's words made Lin Xiao dispel his doubts, stopped asking any more questions, and took out another elixir again.
"This... second-grade elixir, Golden Jade Branch?" Liu Yan immediately covered her mouth and said in surprise when she saw the elixir.
"Haha, I went to the mountains yesterday. I was lucky and met this thing. Liu Yan will boil the golden jade branch tomorrow and give it to Fan'er and Dong'er," Lin Xiao said with a smile.
However, he didn't laugh for long before his face turned pale and he coughed twice.
"Third uncle (father), I don't need it, you should just take it and heal it!"
Lin Fan and Lin Dong said in unison when they saw Lin Xiao's appearance.
After some refusals, Lin Xiao brought up the matter of the clan competition, and finally insisted on letting Lin Fan and Lin Dong use the elixir and sent them back to rest.
After Lin Fan and the other three walked out of the room, they could still hear Lin Xiao's hearty laughter in the room.
Lin Fan patted Lin Dong on the shoulder and said, "Lin Dong, work hard. During the clan competition, we will definitely win the top three and live up to Third Uncle's high expectations!"
"Yeah", Lin Dong gently clenched his fist and nodded heavily.
At the same time, in Lin Fan's mind, the system's beep sounded again.
【bite! You touched Lin Dong and gained heaven-defying enlightenment! Note: Those with incredible understanding can easily understand any martial art! 】
Lin Fan was secretly happy when he heard the system reward. Suddenly he felt a chill coming from his side and hurriedly turned his head to look.
Qingtan's pink and jade-carved little face was completely white at the moment, and traces of cold air visible to the naked eye slowly seeped out of her body, causing fine shards of ice to appear on the ground nearby!
