Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Lin Mo returned to the sect at night, and he didn't know whether the others had returned.

"Ah~, this Assassin Alliance's stealth skills are really useful. They come and go freely. It's impossible for anyone other than a Soul Realm expert to discover them. Even for a Soul Realm expert, the probability of discovery is low. Even a high-level Soul Realm expert wouldn't be able to discover them unless they're paying close attention!"

When he got to his room, he made some millet porridge. He knew Xue'er liked millet porridge the most. Of course, Xue'er liked the millet porridge he made the most. He also liked it very much. After eating and drinking, he started to practice. He practiced kendo.

"My father often said, 'Only when you have reached a certain level of swordsmanship can you destroy all living things with one sword. Everything can be a sword. There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with one sword. If there is, then use two swords. Learning is endless, and so is the way of the sword!'"

Most of the Lin family members practiced swordsmanship: Lin Mo's father, the first elder, the third elder, the fourth elder... These people all followed in their father's footsteps and practiced with their fathers. Many children wanted to be like their fathers when they were very young. In their eyes, their fathers were powerful and unmatched.

Lin Mo's current realm is Spirit Sword, the eighth star, which is considered very good for his age, and his talent is also excellent. There are many people in Fengshuang City who cultivate the sixth and seventh stars, but it is almost impossible to cultivate the eighth star at the age of nine. Lin Mo started learning swordsmanship with his father at the age of five, and it has been four years now. During these four years, he has put in a lot of effort, firstly for himself, and secondly to protect his sister.

Late at night, Lin Mo concluded his training for the day. He gently stroked the sword in his hand, his mind racing. For four years, he had trained day and night, striving to become stronger and protect the one he loved.

Suddenly, he heard a slight noise. Lin Mo immediately became alert, gripped his sword tightly, and walked towards the direction of the sound. When he got closer, he saw a little fox, shivering and hiding in the corner.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and put down the sword. He squatted down and gently stroked the little fox's fur to comfort it. The little fox seemed to feel Lin Mo's kindness and gradually stopped trembling.

Lin Mo originally wanted to release the fox and leave the door open, giving it a chance to leave on its own. However, he discovered the next day that the fox did not leave, but fell asleep on Lin Xue's bed in his room.

Lin Mo decided to take the little fox in and named it "Linglong." "This little guy is quite cute, with pink and white all over. My sister will definitely like it."

When it was breakfast time, Lin Mo woke up "Linglong" like a younger sister. The fox seemed to understand human words. It yawned, stretched, and jumped into Lin Mo's arms. Lin Mo caught "Linglong" steadily. "Linglong" licked Lin Mo's hand and cried.

"Ah? Who are you? Are you hungry?" Lin Mo asked in confusion.

"Linglong" cried softly and nodded its head.

"Ha! You can actually understand what I'm saying. Okay, I'll take you out for some delicious food." Lin Mo placed Linglong on Lin Xue's bed and said, "Don't run around. I'll get you something to eat." Linglong nodded obediently, indicating, "I know, I know."

Lin Mo turned and left the room, and came back after a while. He came to the dining table, stretched out his right hand, and the ring on his index finger lit up. Fish, eggs, baked potatoes, chicken liver, and millet porridge appeared on the table.

"Come to Linglong. The fish, eggs, and chicken liver are yours. The potatoes and millet porridge are mine. Come and eat."

"Linglong" cried a few times and jumped from Lin Xue's bed to the ground. Then she jumped to the dining table and started eating. She finished the chicken liver in a few bites and started eating the fish.

"Hahaha, slow down, slow down. No one is competing with you. I'm not going to class today. I'm preparing for the competition tomorrow, so there's no need to eat so fast."

Lin Mo couldn't help laughing as he watched Linglong wolfing down her food. He patted Linglong's head and said, "Don't worry, there's still plenty left."

Linglong finished the fish and started eating the eggs. While eating, he kept looking at Lin Mo, as if to say, "It's delicious, thank you!"

Lin Mo also started eating, he thought today's meal was particularly delicious. After finishing eating, he began to clean up the dishes.

At this time, Linglong came over and circled around Lin Mo. Lin Mo smiled and said, "What's wrong, little guy? Do you still want to eat?"

Linglong shook her head and pointed at the door with her paw. Lin Mo understood what she meant and said, "Do you want to go out and play? Okay, let's go for a walk."

Lin Mo brought Linglong to the yard. Linglong ran excitedly on the grass, stopping from time to time to smell the flowers and tease the butterflies.

Lin Mo stood quietly by, looking at Linglong's cheerful figure, feeling extremely warm in his heart.

At this moment, Lin Mo couldn't help but think of his sister Lin Xue, the lively, cute and innocent little girl.

In his memory, every weekend is a wonderful time filled with laughter and warm moments. At that time, they would play together, enjoying the warmth of family love, eating delicious food together, and strolling on the streets together, feeling the tacit understanding and companionship between each other.

However, now, all of this has become the past, and he can only search for the happiness he once had in his memories. This morning, he learned that the Lin family had issued a wanted order in Fengshuang City, and the reward was as high as one string of coins.

He thought again that even if there was no wanted order for Lin Xue, they would not be able to live in Fengshuang City. The Lin family was here, and the Lin family was Lin Xue's worst memory. As long as the competition was over tomorrow, he would take Lin Xue and flee to another city to start a new life.

The morning passed quickly as Lin Mo watched Linglong playing. After lunch, they decided to go and see how Lin Xue was doing.

After the two finished eating, Lin Mo took "Linglong" and ran out of the Lin family. He still didn't let anyone see him. He came to the big tree, swiped his card, entered the door, and closed it in one go.

When he came behind the secret door, he saw Lin Xue sitting on the bed in a daze, as if thinking about something.

Lin Mo felt relieved when he saw that his sister was fine. Without saying anything, he walked over to Lin Xue and touched her head. Lin Xue subconsciously dodged and covered her head with her arms, shouting, "Don't... don't hit me."

After hearing these words, Lin Mo suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"It's okay, I'm your brother Lin Mo. Look, I brought you a friend. I named him "Linglong". If you don't like it, you can change it to another one." Lin Mo said with a doting face.

"Brother...Brother, I miss you so much, wuwuwu...wuwuwu." Lin Xue hugged Lin Mo and cried. It can be seen that he was very worried about Lin Mo. "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, I'm fine. Come and meet new friends." He pointed at "Linglong" and said.

Lin Xue cried for a long time before she stopped. She looked at the little fox Lin Mo was pointing at and said, "What a cute little fox. Thank you, brother. Brother is the best."

Lin Xue gently stroked Linglong's fur, and Linglong lay obediently on her lap, enjoying her caress. Lin Mo felt a little relieved when he saw how harmoniously his sister and Linglong got along.

"Lin Xue, we may have to leave Fengshuang City in the future." Lin Mo said slowly.

Lin Xue raised her head and looked at Lin Mo, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise and worry, "Why, brother? Where are we going?"

Lin Mo sighed and told Lin Xue about the things at home and the wanted warrant.

Lin Xue was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "Brother, I'm not afraid. As long as I can be with you, I can go anywhere."

Lin Mo looked at his sister with emotion and nodded vigorously, "Well, we will get through this together."

At this moment, "Linglong" suddenly jumped onto Lin Xue's shoulder and called out to Lin Mo twice, as if to say that it would always be with them.

Lin Mo and Lin Xue smiled at each other, their hearts filled with courage and hope.

Suddenly, Lin Xue fell down without any warning. Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately reached out and grabbed Lin Xue. He kept shaking Lin Xue's body, hoping that she would wake up quickly.

After a while, Lin Xue opened her eyes, broke free from Lin Mo's arms, and jumped to the side. When Lin Mo found out, he looked at Lin Xue in surprise. He cleverly discovered that Lin Xue's eyes had changed, becoming the same look as when she killed the third elder's son before. Lin Mo immediately took a fighting stance.

"Who are you! No matter what kind of monster you are, get out of my sister's body! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Lin Mo was very panicked, but his face was calm.

"Don't worry, I won't cause any harm to her, because she is my sister. Let me introduce myself. My name is Mu Xue, the Mu of Luoluo Mumu. From now on, she can no longer be called Lin Xue. She should be called Mu Xue instead, the Mu of Chaochao Mumu."

A cold, stern female voice, completely different from the previous one, came out of Lin Xue's mouth. "I am Mu Xue's alter ego, which emerged from the daily bullying. I am her older sister. I will always protect her, and I will also protect myself. You also said you would protect her, and I hope you will keep your promise." Mu Xue fainted again after she finished speaking. Lin Mo hurriedly supported Mu Xue, who was about to fall to the ground.

Lin Mo carefully placed Mu Xue on the soft bed, his movements gentle and slow, fearing to hurt her. Then, he took out a piece of paper from his storage ring and gently spread it on the bedside.

He picked up the pen and the tip of the pen danced on the paper, and every word was filled with deep attachment and determination.

"Xue'er, everything will be fine. I have decided to participate in the sect competition. This is not only my mission, but also for you. I will do my best to avenge you and make those who hurt you pay the price.

Don't worry about me, I'll be back safely. In the meantime, please take good care of yourself. Remember, no matter what happens, our hearts will always be together.

Wait for me, I will pick you up tomorrow night and we will leave this place together. Love you, brother."

Lin Mo put down the letter and looked at Linglong. "You stay here with Xue'er. I'll go first." Lin Mo walked out of the Assassin Alliance branch and just closed the tree door. When he turned a corner, he ran into the third elder who came here to look for Muxue.

"Lin Mo! What are you doing here?" The Third Elder immediately called out to Lin Mo upon seeing him. He was also thinking: Is he here to help me catch Lin Xue? It seems I had misjudged him before. Even in his urgency, he actually found time to help me!

"Ah! Third Elder!" Lin Mo was afraid that he would be seen when he came out, but just in case, he still said tentatively: "I am here to avenge your son and capture Lin Xue! Yes, I am here to capture Lin Xue."

He was very scared, afraid that he would be discovered and afraid that he would not be able to see his sister, because the Third Elder was a soul-level powerhouse, almost at the same level as his father, and he could not defeat him with his current cultivation level.

"Good boy!" The third elder smiled and patted Lin Mo's shoulder. "I have had high hopes for you since you were young. Now you are helping me catch people. I am really touched. However, no matter how urgent the group competition is, you should go back to practice first. I am still waiting for your good news!" The third elder patted Lin Mo's shoulder a few more times, smiled and turned away.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Third Elder leave. "Okay! Third Elder wishes you good luck. I will go back and prepare for tomorrow's competition!" In order to avoid being discovered, he left as quickly as possible.

On the way back, Lin Mo's heart was filled with regret and self-blame. He thought of his sister's weak and helpless appearance, and a pang of pain pierced his heart. If he had been strong enough, his sister would not have been bullied; if he had been strong enough, his sister would have received the protection she deserved; if he had been strong enough, he and his sister would not have ended up like this.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo clenched his fists and secretly vowed to practice hard to make himself stronger. Only in this way could he protect his sister.

It was already evening when Lin Mo returned to the Lin family. He started practicing after having dinner.

The training didn't end until the next morning. After breakfast, I hurried to the duel arena. It was already crowded with people, and everyone was talking.

One of them shouted, "Look, Lin Mo is here! He's the favorite to win this time! And that's Lin Guanyu over there! I heard he's already broken through to the eighth star! He's definitely the dark horse for this clan competition!"

Lin Mo listened to their conversation and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Huh, didn't expect it? I broke through the ninth star last night. This time, the first place is definitely mine. Not only will I take first place, I will also destroy those who bully my sister!"

At this time, Lin Mo's father, Lin Changqing, the head of the Lin family, walked onto the duel stage.

"Everyone, today is our Lin family's annual clan competition. According to family rules, only those under ten years old can participate in this group competition. Let everyone see the young prodigies of our Lin family. We have specially invited the leaders of the other four major families to watch this duel. When the contestants and spectators have arrived, the duel will begin immediately. This year, we will use a team battle! 48 people will duel on a 200-meter arena. The last one left on the stage will be the winner! Now, please invite the contestants to the stage! 3! 2! 1! The game begins!"

"Everyone, focus on the strongest Lin Mo first!"
