I was hiding in the village and became the Grandmaster of all things!

"I have met the senior..."

Facing Lin Qingzhi's deep gaze, Xia Kingdom's King Si Lingtian and a group of officials bowed and saluted, their gestures full of respect.

Lin Qingzhi nodded slightly, his gesture revealing an indescribable calmness and indifference.

"Brother Lin, long time no see..."

Si Jinxuan raised her lips into a gentle smile, her eyes fell gently on Lin Qingzhi, and she spoke softly.

"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. Xiao Yaoer must have caused you a lot of trouble recently..." Lin Qingzhi also had a smile on his face, and his words were full of kindness and gratitude.

"No, Xiao Yao'er is so well-behaved and cute. Everyone feels happy when they see her. How can there be any trouble?" When mentioning Xiao Yao'er, a gentle light flashed involuntarily in Si Jinxuan's eyes, as if she saw that lively and cute little figure again.

Afterwards, when Si Lingtian's gaze fell on the backs of Lin Qingzhi and Si Jinxuan who were talking, he calmly gave a subtle look to the officials behind him.

The officials understood what he meant, and then, under his leadership, the group slowly retreated from the scene, their steps showing a sense of tacit understanding and caution.

Si Lingtian was secretly delighted with the interaction between his eldest daughter Si Jinxuan and Lin Qingzhi, and seemed to be going along with it.

If this perfect couple could achieve a happy marriage, it would undoubtedly provide a solid backing for the Xia Dynasty.

By then, not only will the threat from the barbarians be no longer a concern, but even if those sects and forces come together, the Xia Dynasty will be able to remain calm and not show any fear.

Lin Qingzhi noticed the actions of Si Lingtian and others, but did not respond.

"Brother Lin, have you found your wife recently?" Si Jinxuan once heard Lin Ruo say that Lin Qingzhi had gone out twice, and he came back with regret every time.

So, in her opinion, Lin Qingzhi went out to look for his wife. Every time he came back, he felt regretful, probably because he did not find his wife.

I don’t know what’s so good about my clone that Brother Lin has been thinking about him for so long.

I look exactly like his wife, and we are both clones of someone else, but he has no interest in me.

Thinking of this, a trace of bitterness flashed through Si Jinxuan's heart.

After two years of living together, she had already engraved the man in front of her in her heart, but she didn't get any response.

"No, I haven't been looking for her since my first trip to the fairyland. I have a feeling that one day she will show up on her own..."

When Lin Qingzhi heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he began to explain.

For some reason, when Si Jinxuan heard Lin Ruo say before that the several times he went out were not to look for his wife, she actually felt a little happy in her heart.

After calming herself down, Si Jinxuan smiled and changed the subject.

"Brother Lin, Xiao Ruo told me that you recently accepted several disciples and taught them some special training methods."

"That's true..."

Lin Qingzhi nodded.

"Then I'm very curious, Brother Lin, I wonder if you can tell me about it..."

"..."

Si Jinxuan said with a smile.

The two chatted while strolling around the palace.

Occasionally, Si Jinxuan would stop to introduce the buildings inside the palace to Lin Qingzhi.

At the highest point of the palace, Si Lingtian and a graceful old woman were standing there, both of them with their eyes fixed on the garden below.

But the occasional glances towards the distance betrayed the two of them.

The two of them must have come to see what happened between the eldest princess and Lin Qingzhi.

Standing dignified beside Si Lingtian was none other than Empress Ma Yi, the descendant of the Xia Dynasty and Si Jinxuan's mother.

Now she frowned slightly, with a hint of barely perceptible worry, and whispered softly:

"Your Majesty, do you think Xuan'er's marriage can be settled this time..."

Si Lingtian's eyes darkened slightly when he heard this. After a moment's hesitation, he replied in his steady yet slightly hesitant voice:

"I don't know either, but Xuan'er's eyes are full of that person. As the saying goes, if a girl pursues a boy, it's easy to succeed. Maybe this time it will work out!"

After hearing this, the Queen's worried expression eased slightly, and she sighed softly:

"That's good, that's good. Xuan'er is already old, and she is the only princess in the palace who is of marriageable age. After all these years, this matter has finally made some progress."

In the Xia Dynasty, women reached the age of 15, and after reaching the age of 15, it was time to talk about marriage.

Now, the eldest princess Si Jinxuan is already twenty-three or twenty-four years old, but still has no place to go. As a mother, how can she not be worried?

"Let's go! He is a martial arts master after all, so we should leave first."

Si Lingtian patted the back of the queen's hand before speaking.

"Okay..." The queen nodded quickly and agreed.

in the afternoon.

Xiao Yaoer and Lin Ruo, who had gone out to play and eat delicious food, finally returned to the palace.

Since they arrived in the imperial capital, Xiao Yaoer and Lin Ruo have lived in the palace with Si Jinxuan, while Dulang and others have lived in the princess's mansion.

After all, there were more than a hundred people, plus the servants and guards of the princess's mansion. Even though the princess's mansion occupied a large area, it felt crowded.

Moreover, since the first day Xiao Yaoer and Lin Ruo entered the palace, Queen Ma Yi liked these two children from the bottom of her heart, especially Xiao Yaoer.

So he decided to let Xiao Yaoer live in the palace.

I eat with Xiaoyaoer every day.

The Empress, who was always frugal, would order the imperial kitchen to prepare some exquisite dishes in order to make Xiao Yaoer and the other girl happy with their meals, and each time the dishes were different.

The two little girls entered the harem.

At a glance, he saw the Queen and Si Jinxuan chatting in the garden.

"Grandma Queen, Aunt Xuan, I'm back..."

Seeing the two of them, Xiao Yaoer immediately raised the candied haws in her hand and shouted happily.

"Xiao Yao'er is back. How was it? Did you have fun playing outside the palace?" Seeing Xiao Yao'er, the queen immediately smiled and stood up and said to Xiao Yao'er.

"Happy. By the way, Aunt Xuan, has my father left?" After saying that, Xiao Yaoer did not forget to look around secretly, as if she was afraid of seeing Lin Qingzhi still there.

"Your father has already left. Why? Are you afraid of being spanked by your father?" Si Jinxuan said to Xiao Yaoer with amusement.

"How is that possible! I'm not afraid of being spanked by my dad. I just think that since my dad is so busy, it's better for him to go back early..." After hearing that her dad had left, Xiao Yaoer said this shamelessly.

"Little girl..."

Si Jinxuan pinched Xiao Yaoer's cheek and couldn't stand this little girl anymore.

"Oh! Grandma Queen, Aunt Xuan is bullying me again..."

Xiao Yaoer cried out in pain, then quickly hugged the queen's neck and said coquettishly.

"Snapped..."

The queen slapped Si Jinxuan on the back of her hand, then patted Xiao Yaoer on the back and said, "Look, Xiao Yaoer, don't be afraid. Grandma has avenged you."

"Great! Thank you, Queen Grandma, for loving me."

"You little heartless thing, when has Aunt Xuan ever treated you badly? Now that you have the Queen, you've forgotten Aunt Xuan, right?"

Si Jinxuan pretended to be angry and shouted.

"Why....."

The four of them chatted in the garden for a long time, and the whole garden was filled with laughter.

That laughter echoed for a long time...

..........................................................

In Linjiang Village.

Lin Qingzhi had already taken back his clone in the imperial capital.

Lying on the lounge chair in the yard, Lin Qingzhi drank tea comfortably while stroking the red panda in his arms.

It's so comfortable to pet a cat...

What's more, he was petting a red panda.

Under the recliner, the little white fox was lying on the ground, and traces of spiritual energy were entering its body.

This little guy is practicing, and he knows that he can practice fastest next to Lin Qingzhi. So, every time Lin Qingzhi lies down leisurely, he will run over and practice directly next to Lin Qingzhi.

Turning his head to look at the little white fox below, Lin Qingzhi showed a smile on his face.

This little white fox's talent for cultivation is not much worse than GunGun's.

If he succeeds in his cultivation in the future, he can be considered a good assistant.

Lin Qingzhi held a small fan in his hand and slowly fanned himself.

It wasn't that he felt hot, but he felt a little uncomfortable if he didn't move his hands.

at this time.

"boom..."

A huge sound resounded in the void.

Lin Qingzhi looked up.

But he saw the palace gate floating in the air suddenly being pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, a figure fell directly from the magnificent palace with an aura that should not be underestimated.

That figure was none other than Chen Zixin, who was carefully placed in the palace by Lin Qingzhi, where he was undergoing a journey of seclusion and arduous cultivation.

A few days of time is just a blink of an eye in the endless river of cultivation, but for Chen Zixin, this period of time is a leap in the trajectory of his life.

In these few short days, his cultivation has quietly risen to the innate realm. A vigorous vitality surges in his body, like a river flowing into the sea, unstoppable.

What is even more remarkable is that Chen Zixin's body has undergone earth-shaking changes during this period.

His height suddenly grew until it was over 1.7 meters, like a thriving pine tree, tall and strong.

The muscles covering his body were like carefully crafted works of art. Each muscle contained explosive power, and the lines were smooth yet powerful. Even the athletes in his previous life who were famous for their bodybuilding seemed slightly inferior in front of him, and could hardly match this perfect fusion of nature and strength.

"Disciple greets Master..."

When Chen Zixin saw Lin Qingzhi, he jumped up and approached him, then spoke to Lin Qingzhi respectfully.

"Very good, your cultivation has reached the Xiantian realm so quickly. It's time to find Xiantian objects to refine your body. There just happened to be a Xiantian fire ahead of Xiaofan. Go get it and cultivate!"

"Yes, Master, but how can I get over there?" Chen Zixin said, scratching his head.

"Go back home and explain to your father first. When you come back, Master will take you there."

"Okay, Master, I'll go home first."

Chen Zixin bowed respectfully to Lin Qingyi, then turned around and ran outside.

Looking at Chen Zixin who had disappeared, Lin Qingzhi couldn't help but smile. This fool, didn't he even notice that his clothes had changed?
