I'm in the world of Xianjian

Lin Shen and the other four came out of the government office. Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, you looked so handsome when you scolded Ji Sanniang just now."

Lin Shen smiled and said, "I just don't like her expression. Let's pack up and get ready to go."

Just then, a servant from the Lin Family Castle spotted them and called out, "Miss!" Lin Yueru looked in the direction of the voice and shouted, "Ade! Why are you here?"

Ade ran over and said, "Miss, I finally found you. I have something urgent to tell you. Please come back to Lin Family Castle."

Lin Yueru was anxious and asked, "But what happened to my father?"

Ade said, "Master, it's okay. It's the Shen family that's trying to cause trouble. They want to organize a martial arts competition in advance to select the next leader of the martial arts world."

Lin Yueru said, "That's not right. The next competition is still half a year away. How come it's brought forward?"

Ade said, "It must be someone from the Shen family who heard that the eldest daughter was not in Lin Family Castle, and wanted to use this opportunity to seize the position of leader."

Li Xiaoyao said, "You still do this? When is the next duel?"

Ade calculated the time and said, "Tomorrow."

Anu said, "So fast? Fortunately, Brother Anos is here. He can use the teleportation technique to take us back."

Lin Shen said, "Since the Shen family wants to cause trouble, let's help them. Let's hurry back to Li's Inn and gather at the door after packing up."

Several people returned to the inn. After two and a half incense sticks of time, everyone packed their belongings and paid the room fee, and met at the door of the inn.

After Lin Shen made sure that everyone, including Ade, was present, he immediately used the teleportation technique to teleport back to Lin Family Castle.

At this time, Lin Tiannan paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to deal with the Shen family. Lin Shen and his companions teleported to the front yard of the Lin Family Fort and immediately ran to the hall.

Lin Zhong saw Lin Yueru coming back and shouted to Lin Tiannan, "Master, the young lady is back!"

Lin Tiannan looked outside and saw that it was indeed Lin Yueru. He subconsciously called out, "Ruru, is that you?"

Lin Yueru said, "Dad, it's me, I'm back."

Lin Tiannan said, "Didn't you go to find and escort Miss Zhao to Miaojiang? Why are you back?"

Lin Shen took two steps forward and said, "Lord Lin, I brought her back."

Lin Tiannan looked at Lin Shen and said, "Master, you are here too."

Lin Shen said, "Lord Lin, you should call me by my name or my friend from now on."

Lin Tiannan said, "Okay, okay, my friend, are it just the two of you?"

Li Xiaoyao shouted from behind, "We are here too."

Lin Tiannan saw that it was Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger and Anu, and asked, "Are you all here?"

Zhao Linger said, "Lord Lin is in trouble, how can we just sit back and watch?"

Anu said, "Let's deal with the Shen family in tomorrow's competition."

Lin Shen asked, "Lord Lin, what exactly happened? Why is the competition coming up so soon?"

Lin Tiannan said, "My friend, you may not know that our Lin family and their Shen family will have a martial arts competition every three years to decide who will be the leader of the martial arts world.

This time, it might be because they knew Ru'er was away and there weren't many skilled fighters at home, so they suggested holding a duel at this time."

Anu said, "Then why not just give him a beating like before?"

Lin Tiannan said, "Miss Anu, if things were the same as before, it would be easier for us two old bones to compete with each other.

This time, the Shen family suggested that we two old bones watch from the sidelines and let the younger generations take over.

It's five on five, and the side with the most wins will take over as the next leader of the martial arts world."

Li Xiaoyao said, "It seems that they are keeping an eye on Yueru's departure. There are not many good young men in the Lin family."

Lin Shen said, "That's not right. Castle Lord, as far as I know, among the descendants of the Shen family, only Shen Qi can fight a little bit, and the rest are a bunch of useless people. Aren't you afraid of shooting yourself in the foot by doing this?"

I thought to myself: Actually, there is a promising girl named Shen Qishuang, the youngest daughter of Shen Qingfeng, but now she is probably just a little girl of seven or eight years old.

Lin Tiannan stroked his beard and said, "I don't really understand what you said. I guess they might have asked for external help."

Lin Shen said, "Is there no one to take care of it? Just let that Shen do whatever he wants."

Lin Tiannan said, "It seems they've made preparations this time. One reason is that the rules of the competition don't mention inviting outside aid, and the other is that they've invited the Sword Saint Dugu from Mount Shu to act as a notary public."

Lin Yueru said in surprise, "What? Uncle Dugu is here too?"

Lin Shen said, "Wow, even the current leader of Shushan is here." Lin Shen thought to himself: If he causes trouble for Ling'er here, I will definitely not let him see the sun the next day.

Lin Tiannan noticed Lin Shen's expression and asked, "My friend, do you know Dugu Jiansheng?"

Lin Shen said, "I haven't seen him, but I know a thing or two about him. Although he's a skilled swordsman, he's a stubborn person. He believes that those who are not of my kind must have different hearts, and he would rather catch someone by mistake than let him go."

Lin Yueru pulled Lin Shen and said, "Anos, don't say that about Uncle Dugu."

Lin Tiannan said, "That's all. It's just a matter of different standpoints and opinions. I understand if you don't like him."

At this time, a man with white hair and beard, about seventy years old, wearing a green Taoist robe, came flying with a sword. Lin Tiannan bowed and said, "Brother Dugu, you are here."

The white-haired old man bowed and said, "Yes, I came to confirm the details of tomorrow's competition."

Lin Shen looked at Dugu Jiansheng with a hostile expression, and stood beside Zhao Linger, protecting her with his body, fearing that Dugu Jiansheng would take action.

Dugu Jiansheng noticed Lin Shen's hostility, but did not react. At this time, Dugu Jiansheng saw Lin Yueru and said, "Niece Lin, long time no see. You have grown so beautiful."

Lin Yueru bowed and said, "Greetings, Uncle Dugu."

Dugu Sword Saint said, "Many of the people here look unfamiliar. Brother Lin, could you please introduce them to me?"

Lin Tiannan said, "It's my fault. I'll introduce them to you one by one."

So Lin Shen and others were introduced to Dugu Jiansheng one by one, but Lin Shen was always on guard against Dugu Jiansheng and kept his eyes on him.

Sword Saint Dugu still didn't get angry and asked, "Brother Lin, have you decided on the candidates for tomorrow's competition?"

Lin Tiannan said, "Let Ru'er and her good friends go."

Dugu Jiansheng said, "My niece is Brother Lin's beloved daughter, so it makes sense for her to join. But the others don't seem to have any connection to the Lin Family Fort, so this isn't quite right."

Anu said, "Uncle, since they can ask for external help, why can't we?"

Dugu Sword Saint said, "That's true. Except for Shen Qi and another disciple named Shen He, the others don't seem to be from the Shen family.

And this time, there is no prohibition on asking for external help. I have never seen them in the Shen family, but niece, how are the martial arts of your friends? "

Lin Yueru pointed at Lin Shen and said, "Let's put it this way, I guess those five aren't enough for Anos to fight alone. He helped us a lot along the way."

Dugu Jiansheng looked at Lin Tiannan, asking if it was true, and Lin Tiannan nodded.

Dugu Jiansheng looked at Lin Shen and found that Lin Shen was still very wary of him.

Dugu Sword Saint asked Lin Tiannan, "Brother Lin, what does this junior named Anos mean? He always looks at me with hostility."

Lin Yueru thought: Oh no, I can’t tell my uncle, because he mistook Ling’er for a snake demon and locked her up in the Demon Locking Tower, causing her death. So he must dislike my uncle.

Lin Tiannan said, "Perhaps it's because you don't agree with the strict rules and practices of Shushan."

Dugu Jiansheng said, "Well, it's just a difference of opinion. I'll be leaving now. See you at the duel tomorrow."

After saying this, Dugu Jiansheng walked to the front yard and flew away on his sword.

After they were sure that Sword Saint Dugu had truly gone far away, Lin Yueru patted Lin Shen on the back and said, "Anos, what are you doing? I know you're worried that Uncle Shi will take Ling'er away, but you're being too explicit. Fortunately, he didn't get angry, otherwise this would have ended badly."

When Lin Tiannan heard this, he said, "What, Brother Dugu took Miss Zhao away, what does that mean?"

Lin Yueru said, "Dad, listen to me."

So Lin Yueru came close to Lin Tiannan and whispered a lot.

Lin Tiannan suddenly understood and said, "So that's what's going on. Now I understand why you're hostile to Brother Dugu. (Looking at Lin Shen) So, what are your plans?"

Lin Shen said, "I have to thank the fortress lord for helping me out just now. I think the Shen family should know that Yueru has returned to the Lin family. Maybe she will come up with something new tomorrow.

I need to take them somewhere, and I'd like the Lord to prepare some food and water. We'll be back before the tournament begins."

Lin Tiannan didn't say anything, but just winked at Lin Zhong. After Lin Zhong understood what he meant, he left the living room.
