With cannon fodder, become the best in the world

Zhang Lin saw Zhou Yun's arrogant and domineering attitude, as if she had been a pampered master since childhood, as proud as a phoenix.

So he stood in front of Zhou Yun respectfully, lowered his salute, and carefully explained to Zhou Yun: "The eldest young master is handling important matters of the clan, and the elders are running around because of the injury of the head of the family. Although I am the son of the steward of the elders' council, I usually handle all the trivial matters in the mansion."

Jimo Yanzhou frowned, feeling that Zhang Lin looked at him with a sinister look, but he was somewhat in awe of Zhou Yun. He looked at Zhou Yun thoughtfully.

Zhou Yun said: "So you are also the steward of a family."

Zhang Lin bent down again and said humbly, "Miss, you are too kind. I am just an insignificant steward. I will obey the orders of the elders and the young master."

Zhou Yun continued, "Since we are going to take Jimo Yanzhou home, have you cleaned up the yard?"

Zhang Lin was stunned. He had indeed not thought about this question.

What the eldest young master meant was to test Jimo Yanzhou's strength first, and if he was mediocre, then deal with him according to the circumstances.

Jimo Yanzhou thought to himself: Hasn't my name been erased from the family tree by your family elders? Why do you suddenly take me back at this time?

"The head of the family is meeting Jimo Yanzhou." Zhou Yun stared at Zhang Lin closely.

Zhang Lin looked a little surprised and was speechless for a moment.

Zhou Yun saw this and immediately understood. He said, "After all, he is the only son of the patriarch. It is natural for the patriarch to miss him and be anxious to see him. Then you lead the way."

This girl calls Jimo Yanzhou "brother", so their relationship must be special. She must be the daughter of a noble family whom Jimo Yanzhou met in Yingzhou.

Zhang Lin raised his eyes and glanced at Jimo Yanzhou, thinking that Jimo Yanzhou's handsome appearance was very popular with little girls.

Jimo Yanzhou was originally reluctant to go home, but he was secretly happy to be able to go home with Zhou Yun. However, he did not dare to let Zhou Yun know that he was actually an abandoned child of the family, and he could not help feeling guilty.

Zhang Lin stood sideways and made a "please" gesture to Jimo Yanzhou, very politely.

Zhou Yun walked to the front calmly, and Jimo Yanzhou followed closely behind, flicking his sleeves, trying to hide his inner fear.

Jimo Yanzhou said nervously to his system: "Yun'er is right. I cannot avoid difficulties. I must face them bravely."

The system responded: "It seems that your eldest brother has kept your return home a secret from your father. Even if he didn't do anything to you in the city, he would have done something to you in the mansion."

Jimo Yanzhou sighed: "This is really a den of dragons and tigers!"

The system agreed: "That's about right. Once you enter the inner house, all kinds of despicable means will emerge one after another, and they will kill you without anyone noticing.

Jimo Yanzhou asked doubtfully: "How do you know this?"

The system replied as a matter of course: "All female-oriented otaku novels are written like this."

Jimo Yanzhou said helplessly: "But this is a cultivation text."

The system didn't care: "As long as the goal can be achieved, the type of text is not important, and the means used are not important."

Jimo Yanzhou was sent out of Tianhui City when he was young, and he had no memory of the way home. Unconsciously, he walked to a magnificent building.

There was a gilded plaque hanging in front of the door, with the words "Jimo" shining brightly. Zhang Lin went forward and knocked lightly on the door, which opened in response.

A man who looked like a servant appeared in front of him. After seeing Zhang Lin, he hurriedly bowed and stepped aside.

Jimo Yanzhou took a deep breath and stepped into the gate.

The moment he entered the door, it slammed shut. His heart was pounding, as if he had entered a cage full of dangers, with an uncertain future ahead.

At this moment, a warm hand reached out and held his palm tightly. The delicate and warm touch, like an invisible thread, slowly soothed his inner anxiety.

Jimo Yanzhou turned to look at Zhou Yun beside him, and saw that she looked calm, her steps were steady, and she showed no fear at all. She was like a brave warrior, rushing into this unknown world without hesitation.

Jimo Yanzhou suddenly felt courageous. He had said that he would protect her. No matter what the future held, he could not just retreat. He took a deep breath and his steps became lighter.

After passing through the main courtyard and turning east, you will see winding corridors on both sides. Then you will pass through an east-west hall and bypass the wing courtyard.

Zhou Yun suddenly stopped and questioned, "Doesn't the Jimo family master want to see his son? Why didn't he bring him to the main courtyard, but brought him to the side courtyard instead?"

Zhang Lin looked straight ahead and replied, "The doctor from Guiyi Sect is treating the master's injury. It is not appropriate to meet at this moment. Once the doctor from Guiyi Sect has stabilized the master's injury, someone will notify the Sixth Young Master."

Jimo Yanzhou frowned, glanced across the quiet courtyard, and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Zhang Lin replied: "The place where the Sixth Young Master lived before was Qingfeng Courtyard. The Sixth Young Master can rest in Qingfeng Courtyard first."

Jimo Yanzhou knew nothing about his childhood, so he waved his hand casually and said impatiently, "Okay, take us there quickly."

Zhang Lin led the way respectfully. Along the way, carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions, clear pools and waterside pavilions, rockeries and rocks, vines and green bamboos complemented each other and embellished the place. The green jade slabs reflected the green color of the green bamboos, which was quite elegant. However, the further we went, the more remote the terrain became.

Finally, Zhang Lin stopped in front of a simple wooden door. Next to the door was a square wooden sign with the words "Qingfengyuan" written in small seal script.

The courtyard is located in a bamboo forest, with a gentle breeze and air flowing in from all directions. It should really be called a "leaky courtyard".

Jimo Yanzhou raised his sleeves, waved away a spider web beside the gate, pointed at Zhang Lin and asked, "Is this the courtyard you cleaned up for me?"

Zhang Lin glanced at the courtyard and saw only overgrown weeds and spider webs, but he replied calmly, "I think the servants were negligent. I will report to the chief steward and ask him to arrange for someone to clean it up."

Jimo Yanzhou was furious: "You clearly didn't clean up. I am the young master of the Jimo family after all, and you..."

Zhou Yun held Jimo Yanzhou and thanked Zhang Lin: "Thank you, Manager Zhang."

Zhang Lin saw that the little girl was quite polite in her words and actions, and was surprised that she was abducted from somewhere. It was a pity that she followed Jimo Yanzhou, a useless man.

After Zhang Lin left, Jimo Yanzhou stepped into the weed-filled yard and muttered to himself, "System, did I go to the wrong plot? System? System, are you dead again?"
