I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

Following the direction the arrow pointed, Lin Yu discovered a secret realm, which was left behind by the Lin family's ancestor!

It was very safe here, so Lin Yu began to cultivate inside.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Lin Yu opened his eyes, and all the spiritual energy around him gathered on his body, but he still couldn't break through the bottleneck of his cultivation!

"Break!" Lin Yu shouted, circulating his cultivation technique once more, and spiritual energy surged towards him again!

But it was still stuck there, the spiritual energy gathered and then quickly dispersed!

"Come again!"

"No, let's do it again!"

Just when Lin Yu was on the verge of despair, a faint voice rang in his ear: "Child, don't be anxious."

Lin Yu was startled and looked around but couldn't see anyone.

The voice slowly came again: "Lin Yu, I am a member of the Lin family, and a wisp of my remnant soul remains here."

Lin Yu hurriedly and respectfully said, "Junior Lin Yu thanks Ancestor for guiding me here! But why can't my cultivation break through?"

The Lin family ancestor said, "Although you are diligent, your mind is unstable and you are eager for quick success. This is a major taboo in cultivation."

Lin Yu suddenly realized, but Tang Doudou was outside, and it was so dangerous outside. If he didn't quickly improve his cultivation, how could he protect Tang Doudou!

Don't be in a hurry!

Lin Yu calmed himself down, adjusted his breathing according to the guidance of his predecessors, and felt the harmony between himself and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Before long, he felt a warm current flow through his body, and his previously blocked meridians gradually became unblocked. With a flash of light, he successfully broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage and reached the Deity Transformation stage.

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage are considered powerful outside!

Lin Yu was overjoyed and quickly thanked the Lin family ancestors.

"You are the most promising among the younger generation! However, you lack experience. Go, venture into the vast world!" After saying this, the remnant soul of the Lin family ancestor dissipated.

Lin Yu bowed once more towards the place where the remnant soul had dissipated!

Then he left! He was going to find Tang Doudou, hoping she was alright!

Lin Yu arrived at the location of the nine major families. He had been imprisoned here before, but now he was back!

But where is Tang Doudou?

Lin Yu was walking down the street when he suddenly saw a familiar face. He remembered that it was the same person who had brought Tang Doudou to see him last time!

He quickly followed behind him, watching him enter the Qian residence.

Qian Jingyuan sensed someone was following him. Who could it be? He had indeed made quite a few enemies recently!

But he is not afraid!

After reviewing the account books, Qian Jingyuan went to the courtyard. More than half a year had passed since Tang Doudou left, and in that time, he hadn't received a single piece of news about her!

How is she? Where is she now?

Qian Jingyuan stood in the courtyard, recalling that time when Tang Doudou kissed him. Did she like him?

Unfortunately, he never had a chance to ask.

Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong, turned around, looked into the distance, and shouted sharply, "Who's there!"

The guards under his command were already prepared, waiting only for Qian Jingyuan's orders!

Lin Yu appeared from the shadows!

"It's you!" Qian Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "What do you want from me?"

"Where's Tang Doudou?" Lin Yu asked.

"I don't know either. It's been more than half a year, and I still don't know where she went," Qian Jingyuan said with some disappointment.

"What happened?" Lin Yu asked again.

Qian Jingyuan looked at Lin Yu and asked, "What's your relationship to her?"

Lin Yu looked at Qian Jingyuan, "I am her fiancé!"

"Fiancé?" Qian Jingyuan looked at Lin Yu. "She never mentioned him!"

"What happened to her?" Lin Yu approached Qian Jingyuan step by step.

"A year ago, after she saved you, she was exposed. The patriarchs of the nine major families plotted to force Tang Doudou to show herself using the Lingyun Continent, but she got the news! She fought against the nine major families all by herself, and finally, she was forced to try to take them all down with her by self-destructing!"

"How could this happen!" Lin Yu roared and rushed forward.

But Qian Jingyuan stopped him, saying, "With your abilities, you think you can protect her? Dream on!"

Lin Yu was not convinced and made another move! The two exchanged several blows in an instant, and the surrounding air was distorted by the surge of spiritual energy.

"You bunch of scum!" Lin Yu shouted angrily, channeling his spiritual power as he charged toward Qian Jingyuan.

"Well said!" Qian Jingyuan said, and retaliated without any hesitation!

The two exchanged blows for dozens of moves! However, Lin Yu had only recently broken through to the next level and was suppressed by Qian Jingyuan, unable to move!

"She was rescued by her master!" Qian Jingyuan released Lin Yu.

"Her master? Who is he?" Lin Yu asked in confusion.

“If I’m not mistaken, it should be Master Void!” Qian Jingyuan said. “Master Void ascended to heaven many years ago. Tang Doudou will definitely survive with him.”

Lin Yu had calmed down by now. As long as he was alive, that was good enough! As long as one is alive, there is always a chance to start over!

The two stood in the courtyard, remaining silent for a long time.

"How about we cooperate?" After a long pause, Qian Jingyuan finally spoke up.

"cooperate?"

“If we cooperate and wipe out these nine major families, when Tang Doudou comes back, no one will be able to bully her!” Qian Jingyuan said.

"You like her?" Lin Yu looked at Qian Jingyuan and asked seriously.

"Yes!" Qian Jingyuan readily admitted, "I like her!"

"You'd better get out of here now!" Lin Yu threatened. "Otherwise, I won't be polite!"

"I'm competing fairly with you, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?" Qian Jingyuan said with a smile.

"Hmph!" Lin Yu snorted coldly and turned to leave!

"Regarding the collaboration?"

"I will not cooperate with you!" Lin Yu said coldly, then turned and left.

Qian Jingyuan watched Lin Yu's departing figure. In just one year, he had reached the Nascent Soul stage, making him a formidable opponent!

Looking at myself, my relationship with Tang Doudou is just a partnership; the road ahead is long and arduous!

Qian Jingyuan sighed, but quickly came to his senses. Tang Doudou had not yet returned, and it was still uncertain who would win or lose.

Besides, as long as I'm not married, I still have a chance!

Thinking about it this way, Qian Jingyuan's mood immediately improved a lot.

"Tang Zhanyue, where are you? When will you come back?!"
