There was the Autumn Lake on Mount Dibing.
In fact, there was a river winding down from a mountainside with a length of six to seven kilometers. Autumn Lake was located in a low terrain with a radius of 100 meters in the middle of the river. The water was clear, like a treasure pond.
Autumn Lake was not big, but had its own special sceneries in each season, gentle and beautiful. In spring, the clear water of the lake flowed and rippled. The green hills, white clouds, and green trees that were clearly reflected in the water also fluctuated slightly. The gentle wind blew past with sweet moistness, providing a poetic and glorious setting.
It could let immortals forget to worry and let ordinary people forget the vulgar world.
Summer River, Autumn Lake, and Worry-free Pool.
They were private landscapes belonging to Mount Dibing and the Wang family of Beihai only. They might not be amazing at first sight, but they had already made people immersed in it at second glance.
Lin Fengting liked such sceneries very much.
Until the coming age of fifty, knowing his destiny approaching, he had been wandering in all his life, either by himself or with his wife and children. When a person had a unique martial art but no ambition, only wanted to live a life with his identity concealed and inexhaustible money, his life would be extremely comfortable no matter how he lived it.
Over the past few decades, Lin Fengting had traveled around the world and seen too many picturesque sceneries of mountains and rivers, too many splendid sights of blooming flowers, as well as too many magnificent scenes of spectacularity.
In order to enter the Fire-flaming Realm, he walked straight into the polar region.
In order to enter the Invincible Realm, he reached the summit of Mount Everest alone.
His life was really too meaningful and well-rounded, leisure and wonderful. However, no matter how many places he had gone to, in his heart, the Worry-free Pool of the Mount Dibing right here was still the best place that could make him carefree.
The scenery of the lake and mountain was hazy with the water.
Such a scene was the most unique and natural one.
I really don’t want to go. I may even forget the way home after sitting here all day.
Sitting quietly on the green and soft grassland, Lin Fengting said gently in a soft tone, with a hint of imperceptible sadness.
Then stay here.
Wang Tianzong, sitting beside Lin Fengting, chuckled and said,
You can choose any of the palaces on the Mount Dibing at your will. Even if you want the Sword Emperor Palace where I live in, it will be all right, just wait until they have repaired it.
Lin Fengting turned around to look at him, and put aside his fishing rod, letting the fish that had taken the bait struggle to escape underwater. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Tianzong, said with his head shaking,
If I really live in the Mount Dibing, I’m afraid that I will not see any scenery.
There’s always the time to do do that.
Wang Tianzong said earnestly,
It’s not a very big thing, and doesn’t need you to do anything. You can live a steady life like now. If you like, how about being a nominal Co-governing King in the Wang family of Beihai? For everything in the Wang family of Beihai, your orders are equal to my orders.
Governing together with the Sword Emperor in the Wang family of Beihai.
Such an honor was simply supreme, not to mention the others, even among all the elites of Invincible Realm in the Dark World, there were few people who could refuse this offer.
But Lin Fengting shook his head and said gently,
Come on, I’m not the kind of person who can stay at one place for long. I’m too lazy to take part in any of your preoccupying things. How could it be as easy as doing whatever I want?
Wang Tianzong sighed slightly and didn’t say much. When the Li family fell years ago, even though he originated from sort of the same source as the Li family, Lin Fengting had never stood out, but let the Martial Arts influence founded by the ancestors of the Lin Family disappear gradually. Having such a mentality, Lin Fengting had obviously made up his mind not to participate in the game of the Dark World. Would there be any advantages if he tried too hard to convince him?
Wang Tianzong was somewhat lost in thought. Over the past 500 years, the Wang family of Beihai had elites of Invincible Realm for nine generations, and the Xuanyuantai of Kunlun had elites of Invincible Realm for nine generations, too. However, no one knew that the Lin family that Lin Fengting belonged to also had elites of Invincible Realm for nine generations.
In the shining years of glory and honor, every elite of Invincible Realm from the Wang family of Beihai and Xuanyuantai of Kunlun was famous and shocked the world.
But where were the elites of Invincible Realm from the Lin Family?
All day long, they visited the scenes of mountains and rivers, living in carefree seclusion. They stood aloof about all the changes in the outside world.
Nine generations of elites in Invincible Realm.
Except for their ancestors, no one else had entered the secular world.
They came quietly and left quietly.
They remained indifferent to the elapse of time and turbulent times.
How detached and romantic were they?
Wang Tianzong lit a cigarette and shook his head.
Where are you going next?
Go back to Europe and have a look around. Chuxue wanted to go to the Vatican and said that she would like to see its headquarters. I may show her around there.
Lin Fengting said casually with the cigarette in his mouth.
To the Vatican?
Wang Tianzong asked with a teasing smile.
You had caused a lot of trouble there those years, hadn’t you? It was said that their pope had issued a wanted poster, and Aresis had chased you for several days but let you run away finally. The news from Italy was vague, but I think it was you.
How did you know that?
Lin Fengting was embarrassed. There was really nothing to be proud of. And the thing had passed for five to six years, so he had almost forgotten it.
Is there anybody else except you that might sell Tao Te Ching in front of the Apostolic Palace, and set up a stall for fortune telling? It was no wonder that the pope rebuked you as heresy. And also, how many heresies were there in the world that could run away under Aresis’s arrest?
St. Aresis.
He was the Saint War Angel of the Vatican, who ranked second on the Divine List of the world, just after the Sword Emperor, Wang Tianzong.
It must be Lin Fengting who had made the representative character of the force of the Vatican himself chased for several days, but ended with a failure. Wang Tianzong could easily know this with the exclusion method.
Ahem.
Lin Fengting coughed and suddenly looked around. At this moment, an obscene temperament suddenly turned up at the middle-aged man who had a handsome appearance all over his body. He smiled with a thievish-looking.
I will tell you, but you should never tell it to others. That bastard had chased me for three days and almost crossed the border of Italian. Later, I went to the Vatican again and beat him hard when he was off guard. Haha, it was cheerful.
Wang Tianzong’s lips twitched. He indeed did not know the news. Not to mention the strength of Lin Fengting and Aresis, only according to the fact that he dared to go deep into the Vatican to beat Aresis, Lin Fengting had shown his lawlessness and arbitrariness. Besides, the Vatican also wouldn’t say this thing out loud, because it wasn’t a thing to be proud of that their Saint War Angel was beaten by others.
Help me to prepare my plane ticket. I will leave tonight. First I will go to Youzhou, then to the border, and finally, I will return.
Lin Fengting toyed with the fishing rod in his hand and said lazily.
Hmm? I thought you would go for a look in Huating.
Wang Tianzong turned around and took a deep look at Lin Fengting, then chuckled.
Lin Fengting was silent for a moment, then shook his head,
I wanted to see the descendant of the Li family of this generation, but I think I’d better forget it. Since I don’t want to enter the secular world, why should I bother going there? I don’t have that thought, so I won’t give him any hope.
Wang Tianzong hesitated for a little while and said,
How about the sword move you owe the Li family…
I’ll return it back at a proper time.
Lin Fengting shook his head, meditated Li Tianlan’s name for twice, and suddenly said,
What are you going to do with Li Tianlan?
I gave him a set of Immortality Potions.
Wang Tianzong said with no facial expression,
Though the Wang family owed the Li family too much those years, I have paid it off with the set of Immortality Potions. Now we owe each other no more. If he should become my enemy someday, I would kill him.
Lin Fengting’s mouth moved and he tentatively said,
With Yuetong accompanied, in the future, he will…
Wang Tianzong didn’t change his facial expression but just quietly looked at the water of the Worry-free Pool in front of him.
At this moment, he seemed to have distanced himself from Lin Fengting. He was no longer Lin Fengting’s childhood friend, but the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State, who ranked the top on the Divine List.
An ambitious hero!
The words turned up abruptly in Lin Fengting’s mind, and the interests in his eyes worn-out.
He pointed downstream and whispered,
Is the hot spring at the foot of the mountain still there?
The Summer River was flowing around the Mount Dibing. The Autumn Lake in front of them could make people forget their worries. The area at the end of the lower reaches was naturally geothermal. The Wang family had made a medium-sized hot spring there, which was not open to the public, but only used occasionally for private leisure.
Yes, it is.
Wang Tianzong’s expression slightly eased, and he whispered.
Actually, standing here, what impressed me most was still the childhood.
Lin Fengting spoke softly, with a distracted and soft look,
I was nine years old back then, right? Second elder brother was 11, and you were 12, right? My father took me to Mount Dibing for the first time and said that he would introduce me to two good brothers. Uncle Wang took you to meet us, and then we met Uncle Li together. At that time when those three brothers were taking a bath in hot springs below, we stood at the upper reaches and urinated in the water… Oh, that should be the last time for the three of them, as well as the three of us being together, right? Later, I had met the second elder brother and you separately, but we three had never been together. Then, the second elder brother died at the border because of treason, and so far…
How many years since then?
He lowered his voice and finally became silent.
Wang Tianzong pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
I have always remembered the words ‘good brothers’.
Lin Fengting paused for a while and finally said,
Eldest brother.
As soon as Wang Tianzong was about to speak, the phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and gave a cool hello.
Lin Fengting looked at him quietly until he hung up the phone with a smile. Then he calmly asked,
What’s the matter?
There is a quite boisterous thing.
Wang Tianzong whispered,
On the 15th of June, the Master of Samsara Palace made an appointment with Gu Xingyun in the Sky Academy for a do-or-die fight. Situ Cangyue also joined in the fun and made an appointment with Gu Qianchuan. Interesting. This year’s Special Warfare System and the Dark World are becoming more and more interesting.
Lin Fengting’s eyes brightened slightly, then he frowned and said,
I guess the injury of the Master of Samsara Palace is not all right yet. June 15th? It will hardly be fully recovered in more than a month.
Wang Tianzong was in silence and did not speak. His eyes kept flashing, making him look thoughtful.
What do you think?
Lin Fengting waited for a while and continued to ask. He lived in seclusion and did not know as much about the general trend of Zhongzhou State and of the Dark World as Wang Tianzong—a joined player, did. However, he had to pay special attention to the Master of Samsara Palace.
A Master of Samsara Palace who could use the Twenty-fourth Blade, the most core unique technique of Xuanyuantai of Kunlun.
What was the relationship between her and the Li family?
I don’t know. Huating is a bit busy recently. The behavior of Samsara this time is probably aming at standing up for Li Tianlan, but not exactly. For the Divine List will be re-ranked next year, she might challenge Gu Xingyun in order to make a run for the ranking. The higher her ranking is, the greater the gains Samsara will get after the destruction of the Night Spirit. Otherwise, in the end, they will be very sad to do others a favor after suffering all kinds of hardships to destroy the Night Spirit. Who is willing to do this? To see from the view of Zhongzhou State, it is also possible that the Academics secretly instigated a decisive battle between Samsara and Gu Xingyun. Gu Xingyun dares to fight, but he will not fight to the death easily. The inside story behind this upcoming fight is complicated.
Wang Tianzong softly sighed with emotions. Even if he was the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State, he would find it difficult to grasp the specific trend of the general trend until the truth came to light.
The Academics secretly stirred up? The Master of Samsara Palace is not stupid. Since she is seriously injured, had she regarded Gu Xingyun, the fourth expert on the Divine List, as a useless decoration?
Lin Fengting subconsciously frowned.
Wang Tianzong glanced at him and chuckled,
Don’t forget that her surname is used to be Gu.
She was once surnamed Gu, but she had learned the unique technique of the Li family.
Lin Fengting’s eyes brightened.
I’m going to have a look in Huating. It isn’t known how many elites of Invincible Realm overseas want to watch this fight. Will you go and see? Is it okay to stay for another month?
Wang Tianzong looked at Lin Fengting and said with a smile.
Yes, I will.
Lin Fengting hesitated for a moment, then finally said excitedly,
You arrange it first. I’ll wait for you at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Tianzong nodded his head, and his whole body disappeared instantly after a step.
Lin Fengting smoked a cigarette, sitting quietly. When it was almost the right time, he picked up the fishing rod and shook it casually.
There was no fish on his fishhook.
But the water in the Worry-free Pool crashed up with his movement of shaking hands.
A large quantity of water rushed up dozens of meters from the pool in a split second, like a water curtain.
The water curtain was clear and sparkling in the sunlight.
The figure of Lin Fengting stayed in the water curtain for a moment and then disappeared in a flash.
The water of the pool crashed down and sprayed in all directions. The rumbling sound echoed through the mountains, lasting for a long while.
There was a sound of sigh melting in the deafening roar of water, vague yet clear.
Going south to return the sword move…
