The New Year is approaching, and the city of Yangzhou has become lively. Many disciples who were cultivating in their sects have returned home to reunite with their families.
And every year at the end of the year, from national cities to families, there will be some grand gatherings. In a world where martial arts are supreme, these grand gatherings naturally cannot leave out the two words "martial arts".
The various major families of Yangzhou City hold annual family reunions to see how their younger generations are doing, and occasionally there will be a grand gathering of the various major families throughout Yangzhou City to test who is stronger or weaker.
Tingfeng Wine House, a gathering place for excellent disciples of various families within Yangzhou City, where they drink and engage in lively discussions.
"It's said that Lin family's Lin Xuanwu has undergone a life-awakening and stepped into the spiritual martial realm, becoming an inner disciple of the Hao Yue Sect. Brother Lin Yu, I don't know if this is true or false." A person holding a folding fan gently shook it, asking Lin Yu from the Lin family, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lin Yu, seemingly all curious about this matter.
"This is naturally true. After Lin Xuan's promotion to the Lingwu realm, our Lin family's strength has greatly increased. If there's a martial arts gathering in the city, I think our Lin family will surely shine."
Lin Yu smiled, as he was the son of the Lin family's elder, naturally speaking from the Lin family's standpoint.
"Haha, I've just entered the Spiritual Martial Realm, but your Ancient Flame of the Gu Family has been in it for half a year already. None of you from the Lin Family are my match." The young man in yellow sat opposite Lin Yu, his eyes coldly smiling. The ancient families of Yangzhou City, the Gu and Lin Families, had always been at odds with each other; how could he let the Lin Family show off?
"The time it takes to enter the Lingwu realm doesn't represent anything, both Wen Jiang and I have already reached the second level of the Lingwu realm, except for Princess Nalan Feng from the City Master's household, who can rival us."
The people of Wen's family did not show weakness either.
The young man with the feather fan heard that his opponent had already reached the second stage of the Lingwu Realm, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Wenjiang has indeed arrived at the second stage of the Lingwu Realm, his talent is truly extraordinary."
"You invited me over just to listen to you guys talk about these boring things." A discordant and apathetic voice cut through the crowd's conversation, spoken by a beautiful young girl.
"Of course not, I invited everyone here today to tell you a piece of news. On the day after the New Year's Eve this year, my City Lord's Mansion will hold a martial arts gathering. Except for the young masters from my City Lord's Mansion and the three major families in Yangzhou City, other outstanding young people can also sign up to participate. Autumn Orchid, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Nalan Hai smiled warmly and the crowd immediately understood. In the past, Yangzhou City would also hold a martial arts conference, but it was limited to the younger generation of the four major families, including the city master's mansion. Unexpectedly, this time others can also participate in the martial arts conference. It seems that the city master wants to recruit talented young people from Yangzhou City through the martial arts conference.
Qiu Lan was said to be an orphan, but she had a considerable reputation in Yangzhou City. This was not only because of her beautiful appearance and elegant temperament, but also because of her exceptional talent.
Qiu Lan nodded slightly, she also wanted to see what kind of strength the outstanding young people from the four major families had.
"Heh heh, compared to this time's martial assembly being extremely wonderful, I heard that the trash from the Lin family seems to have made some progress and even injured Lin Yun. I think the trash from the Lin family should also participate in this martial assembly." The young man in yellow from the Gu family suddenly smiled faintly, his tone especially piercing.
"Gu Song, what do you mean? My Lin family has excellent disciples emerging one after another. Would we need a useless person like him to participate in the Martial Arts Conference?" Lin Yu naturally understood who the other party was referring to, and by saying that Lin Feng would be participating in the conference, he was clearly ridiculing the younger generation of the Lin family for having no one capable.
"Heh heh, you addressing your young master in such a manner doesn't seem quite right." Gu Song said calmly.
"Trash is trash, what's wrong with that? Besides, the position of our family head will eventually..." Lin Yu said, suddenly stopping and letting out a cold snort, saying no more.
At this time, the waste in their mouths was riding on a thousand-mile snow and entering Yangzhou City.
After rushing for over a dozen days, Lin Feng's face had a hint of dust and fatigue, but his eyes were exceptionally bright and alert, without the slightest sign of laziness.
Back in Yangzhou City, compared to before, Lin Feng's facial features were more defined and clear-cut, with a hint of hardness in his sharp outline, and his clean eyes had a slightly calm tone.
Lin Feng, with his back carrying an ancient sword and his waist wrapped in a silver-edged belt, his feet treading on the snow of a thousand miles, also attracted not a few people's attention. Seeing Lin Feng's outfit and appearance, the young man who whispered "good spirit" should be a young master from a large family who has returned from outside cultivation.
"Go." Lin Feng urged his horse on with a squeeze of his thighs, and the Thousand Mile Snow began to run slowly along the main road in Yangzhou City.
"Huh." As Lin Feng passed by a wine shop, a faint voice came from the rooftop, although it was very slight, but Lin Feng's current hearing was extremely sharp, he raised his head and saw a gaze falling on himself.
"Haha, I was wondering who it was, and it's actually Young Master Lin Feng of the Lin family. What a coincidence."
This man's eyes were filled with a mocking expression, and after a moment, several faces appeared in the window on the second floor, among which one face Lin Feng was quite familiar with, but this face was very gloomy at this time.
"Lin Yu." Lin Feng said in a low voice. This Lin Yu was the son of an elder of the Lin family, with a cultivation base of eight layers of Qi Refining stage, and his innate talent was not bad.
"Hmph." Lin Yu didn't give Lin Feng any face at all, with a cold expression and furrowed brows. She hadn't expected to run into Lin Feng here, and probably these people would mock her again.
"Lin Feng, we're having a gathering of several big families here, since you've bumped into us, why don't you come up and join us?" As expected, Gu Song immediately extended an invitation to Lin Feng, clearly not with good intentions.
"Lin Feng, you've traveled such a long distance, go back and rest with your family first." Lin Yu said reluctantly.
Lin Feng sneered inwardly, his identity being the young master of the Lin family. When Lin Yu saw him, he should have at least asked how he was doing, but not only did Lin Yu not do that, he even gave him a cold stare and even wanted to interfere with what he was doing.
"I have to consider your expression when doing things." Lin Feng said quietly, then looked at Gu Song and said: "I'll come up now."
"Wait." Lin Yu's voice turned slightly cold: "Lin Feng, this isn't a place you should be coming to. It's better for you to just go back home and stay there."
"How dare you." Lin Feng's voice was cold and stern as he looked straight at Lin Yu, his eyes icy. "What is your status, what is my status, how dare you speak to me like that."
Nowadays, Lin Feng is no longer the weak 'Lin Feng' of the past. His father being the head of the Lin family, how could he tolerate Lin Yu's arrogance in front of him? If he didn't show some anger, it would really seem like this young master thought he could bully him as he pleased.
Lin Yu was taken aback by Lin Feng's sudden outburst, he clearly hadn't expected Lin Feng to change so completely and become so overbearing.
His face turned bright red, but Lin Yu didn't know how to refute Lin Feng. In terms of status, Lin Feng was the young master of the Lin family, and although he was the son of an elder, he still didn't have the qualifications to be arrogant towards Lin Feng. On the contrary, even if Lin Feng scolded him, he didn't have the qualifications to retort.
"Haha, this is indeed the young master of the Lin family." Gu Song's smile grew even more faint as he spoke, causing Lin Yu's face to grow increasingly dark.
At this time, Lin Feng had dismounted his horse and handed the Qianli Xue to the manager of the wine house. He then stepped into a elegant room on the second floor of the wine house that faced the street.
There were seven or eight figures sitting at the wine table, all of whom were young disciples.
As Lin Feng entered, not a single person made a sound. They all sat in their own seats, lifted their wine cups and took light sips, directly ignoring Lin Feng. Even Gu Song, who had invited Lin Feng earlier, was sitting there with a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, a self-abasing good-for-nothing who really thinks he's a young master, what status?" Lin Yu didn't even glance at Lin Feng, seemingly muttering to himself.
"The identity of the young master of the Lin family, Lin Yu, don't you forget, this waste is your family's young master." Gu Song reminded him, this was exactly what he wanted to see, letting the Lin family lose all face.
Lin Feng sneered and scanned the crowd with his eyes, then his gaze fell on Gu Song. He took a few steps forward and came to Gu Song's side.
"May I sit down?"
"What are you, qualified to sit?" Wen Jia Wenshan said bluntly. Among the four major families in Yangzhou City, the Wen family had the strongest power and was not on good terms with the other three families, especially the Gu and Lin families. However, if there was an opportunity to strike at the Lin family, the Wen family would naturally not miss it.
"What about you?" Lin Feng didn't look at Wen Shan, but asked Gu Song.
"Can't you understand? Trash, also has the qualification to sit with us." Gu Song looked at Lin Feng with a slanted eye, this guy really didn't have any self-awareness.
"So you were just playing with me earlier?" Lin Feng asked calmly without showing any anger.
"What's with you, scram." Gu Song scolded, unexpectedly finding Lin Feng so uncooperative.
