Lin Ningshan

Zhang Ruochen, Concubine Lin, and maid Yun'er sat in an ancient antelope-horse chariot and walked out of Yunwu Palace slowly.

Antelope is not a real horse, but a wild beast with a single horn on its head. Its body is more than three meters high, like a baby elephant, and its running speed is more than five times that of ordinary war horses. Some of the strong antelopes can even travel three thousand miles a day.

The antelope and horse ancient chariot did not know how far it traveled, and it gradually stopped.

Zhang Ruochen got out of the car, looked at the two magnificent gates not far away, and then looked at the gold-edged plaque hanging on the top of the gate, on which were written two vigorous characters: "Lin Fu!"

His heart skipped a beat, isn't his mother's surname "Lin"?

Looking at the grandeur of this mansion, the Lin family is not a small family, but a big family.

If my mother's family is really a big family, why didn't I get the support of my mother's family, but was bullied by other princesses everywhere in the county prince's mansion?

There must be something hidden.

Concubine Lin also got down from the carriage, looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar door, and said, "Chen'er, you must have wanted to see Ningshan for a long time! Now you have also created the mark of martial arts." , I believe you and Ningshan have a lot of topics to talk about, you must work hard!"

Until now, Zhang Ruochen didn't know who Ningshan was. He always had a strange feeling when he heard what Yun'er and Concubine Lin said.

Led by Concubine Lin, Zhang Ruochen and Yun'er walked into the Lin Mansion together.

Theoretically, the concubine should be welcomed grandly when she returns to the family, but it was only an elderly butler who welcomed Concubine Lin and Zhang Ruochen into the gate.

Concubine Lin was taken to the inner mansion by the old housekeeper, Zhang Ruochen and Yun'er stayed in the outer mansion, and only two maids stayed to receive them.

Zhang Ruochen always felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he didn't know how to ask, so he could only keep silent.

"Ninth Prince, aren't you going to see Ningshan? She should be the martial arts arena right now, and those young children of the Lin family should all practice there." Yun'er asked.

Being mentioned several times by Yun'er and Concubine Lin, Zhang Ruochen became even more curious, who is that woman named "Ningshan"? It shouldn't hurt to go see you.

"Well! Let's go to the Lin family's martial arts arena." Zhang Ruochen nodded and said.

...

The inner mansion of the Lin family.

In an antique hall, Lin Fengxian, the patriarch of the Lin family, sat on the grand master's chair in a stable manner.

He looked to be in his thirties, with two neat beards on his lips. He glanced at Concubine Lin who was sitting opposite, and said, "The Ninth Prince is a descendant of the county prince's mansion. You should also go to the Cangshu Pavilion of the county prince's mansion to choose exercises, why did Concubine Lin come to the Lin family to ask for exercises?"

Concubine Lin bit her lips lightly, and said, "It's not asking for it, but I'm asking my elder brother to give him a book of cultivation techniques because Chen'er is your nephew."

"Boom!"

Lin Fengxian snorted coldly, slapped his palm on the table, and said, "Now you know that you are here to beg my brother? Now come to tell me about your love? Three years ago, when I went to the county palace to beg you, why didn't you look at Chen Yu is your nephew to save him? You know very well that Chen Yu is my son, and he is also a peerless genius who is rare in the Lin family for a hundred years. As long as you ask the king of the county, you can always keep him, but , but you didn't..."

"Three years ago..." Concubine Lin was very wronged, she couldn't help crying, and wanted to tell the truth about three years ago.

However, Lin Fengxian interrupted her and said: "You go! The Lin family and you have long since broken up, and you will never come back again. Concubine Lin."

"Boom!"

Concubine Lin knelt on the ground, weeping non-stop, and said in a whimpering voice, "Brother, are you so heartless? I want to see my father."

"Father went to Tianmo Ridge, and he won't be back until three months later. You won't see him now." Lin Fengxian said indifferently: "There is one more thing, Ningshan and His Royal Highness Seventh Prince are about to get engaged, called His Highness Ninth Prince." Stay away from Ning Shan from now on."

Concubine Lin felt even more desperate, and said: "You know that Chen'er has always liked Ning Shan, how sad would he be if he knew that Ning Shan was engaged to the Seventh Prince? Besides, how could it be the Seventh Prince?"

Lin Fengxian said: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince opened the seventh-rank martial arts seal when he was three years old. How amazing is his talent? With his current martial arts cultivation, no one in the younger generation of the entire Yunwu County can hold a candle to him. Ning Shan can compete with the seven The marriage of His Royal Highness will be of great benefit to the future of our Lin family."

"Although the Ninth Prince and Ning Shan are cousins, they were also good playmates when they were young, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. However, the Ninth Prince has mediocre aptitude after all. He only opened the mark of martial arts at the age of sixteen. He will not achieve much in this life. He can practice It should be the limit at the later stage of Huangji Realm, and there is no way to compare with the Seventh Prince."

Concubine Lin said: "Ningshan is also willing to get engaged to the Seventh Prince? For the sake of family interests, will you really be happy?"

Lin Fengxian stared at Concubine Lin, and said indifferently: "You are wrong, this is Ningshan's own decision!"

...

The martial arts arena of the Lin family is very spacious, as big as half a football field.

One by one, the young disciples of the Lin family in blue military uniforms were practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena, some were practicing boxing, some were practicing swordsmanship, and some were practicing swordsmanship.

They belonged to the elites of the Lin family, and each of them had opened the mark of martial arts, concentrating on cultivation. At the same time, there were elders from the Lin family giving advice to them in the martial arts arena, and it was a thriving atmosphere.

Zhang Ruochen nodded, thinking to himself, "The Lin family can be regarded as a rich family in Yunwu Commandery."

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen's eyes fixed on a slender girl, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

I saw that the girl was only fourteen or five years old, she was petite and exquisite, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes were as bright as stars, her skin was as white as jade, she was such a beauty.

She holds a sword that exudes a faint starlight, exuding a light blue sword light, countless sword auras surround her body, and follow her steps, graceful like a frightened bird, graceful like a dragon, and her sword skills are simply amazing. Subtle to the extreme.

"The true energy is released, and the sword moves according to one's heart. Her martial arts cultivation has at least reached the extreme level of Huangji Realm, and she is much stronger than the Eighth Prince." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

"Huh! Isn't that the Ninth Prince? He actually came to the Lin Mansion?" A young boy of the Lin family smiled coldly when he saw Zhang Ruochen standing outside the martial arts arena.

"It must be looking for sister Ningshan again. Unfortunately, sister Ningshan doesn't even bother to see him now."

"I heard that he also opened the mark of the gods and martial arts."

"Hey! He only opened the imprint of Shenwu at the age of sixteen. What can he do? If he wasn't sister Ningshan's cousin, he might not even be able to enter the Lin family's gate."

"I heard that sister Ningshan is going to be engaged to the Seventh Prince, she is really a beautiful woman!"

"Hey! It is said that the Ninth Prince has always been secretly in love with Sister Ningshan. Guess what expression he will have if he hears that Ningshan and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince are going to get engaged?"

All the young warriors of the Lin family stopped their cultivation, staring at Zhang Ruochen who was standing outside the martial arts arena, pointing and talking, sometimes laughing jokingly.

Lin Ningshan also stopped practicing swords, and glanced at Zhang Ruochen who was standing outside the martial arts arena. With a light wave of her slender jade arm, the Xinghui sword in her hand was accurately inserted into the scabbard five meters away.

Lin Ningshan walked up to Zhang Ruochen, looked at Zhang Ruochen's thin body, and said, "Cousin, long time no see. I heard that you have also activated the mark of martial arts?"

When they were very young, Lin Ningshan and Zhang Ruochen were still very good playmates, they could be regarded as childhood sweethearts, but later Lin Ningshan activated the Imprint of Divine Martial Arts, and spent most of his time practicing, becoming more and more alienated from Zhang Ruochen.

After what happened three years ago, she never went to Yunwu Palace again. Although Zhang Ruochen was sick all the year round, he still went to Lin's house to look for her from time to time, even if he could see her, he would feel very happy.

However, the number of times I can see her is less and less, and I have never seen her in the past six months. She always sent a maid out to send Zhang Ruochen away.

"So she is my cousin."

Now Zhang Ruochen can be said to be seeing Lin Ningshan for the first time, and he didn't have any feelings for her, so he seemed very calm, and said modestly: "It is true that the mark of Shenwu has been activated, but the empress said that it is just a mark of Shenwu without grade. Naturally, it cannot be compared with my cousin's imprint of martial arts."

Lin Ningshan nodded, raised her snow-white chin, proudly like a white swan, and said: "After all, you are already sixteen years old, and being able to activate the mark of martial arts is also a gift from heaven to you. You must work hard in the future Practice, although you can't become a martial arts expert, but at least you can strengthen your body and don't have to lie in a hospital bed all year round. For you... at least you can be a normal person."

Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly, nodded, and said, "I will definitely work hard in the future, trying to catch up with your cousin."

Lin Ningshan naturally knew that Zhang Ruochen liked her. Hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, she thought that Zhang Ruochen was still unwilling to give up and wanted to continue pursuing her.

"Hey! Cousin, my cultivation has reached the middle extreme of the Yellow Realm, and I'm only one step away from the Great Extreme. With your aptitude, it's estimated that you won't be able to cultivate in the middle extreme in your lifetime. What you should do is practice down-to-earth, don't blindly pursue something that shouldn't be pursued, and you can't be too ambitious, or you will suffer from it." Lin Ningshan said with a pun.

Zhang Ruochen frowned even deeper.

Lin Ningshan looked at Zhang Ruochen with some sympathy, and said, "Cousin, there is one more thing I want to tell you, I hope you will not be too sad. Three months later, when the king of the county leaves the customs, His Royal Highness Seventh Prince and I should be together. Getting engaged."

"There's a good show to watch! Hehe!"

The young warriors of the Lin family were all overjoyed, and all stared at Zhang Ruochen, wanting to see what kind of reaction Zhang Ruochen would have?
