C12 Inverting Right and Wrong
Lin Mo smiled and fooled her. Lin Xi's bright eyes clearly didn't believe him, but since Lin Mo didn't want to say it, she didn't force him. She just said worriedly, "Mo, after you left that day, a lot of things happened. The City Lord decided to hold the three tests ahead of time. "
Lin Mo frowned. Since the establishment of the three tests, the time had always been fixed. Lin Mo asked, "Has the City Lord explained the reason?"
Lin Mo spread his hands and said helplessly, "No. Mo, I think you should be careful. The City Lord doesn't seem to be in a good condition. I also saw the steward of Lin family buying some herbs and using the personal vault of the City Lord. "
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat. He recalled what the old man had said about the Mortal Refining Pill. He was really afraid of anything that came. However, he quickly calmed down. The medicinal herbs needed for the Mortal Refining Pill were as rare as the Blood lineage Qi Sea. The City Lord couldn't gather all of them in a short period of time. However, Lin Mo couldn't understand why the City Lord would suddenly bring forward the time for the three tests.
"Yo, isn't this a useless person who ran away? You still dare to come back?" It was unknown when the second young lady appeared under a tree not far away. Her eyes were sizing up Lin Mo from head to toe. Her face was full of pride and disdain.
Anger appeared on Lin Xi's face as she said to Lin Qing, "Lin Qing, this. . . In these three years, was it not enough for you to target Mo? What did he do? Could it be because he was stronger than you back then?"
Lin Qing's expression was ugly as she pointed at Lin Xi and said," Little girl, you are slandering me. Be careful, I will tell father and let him teach you a lesson. "
Lin Xi was not afraid at all. As the number one new blood, she was no longer just a member of Lin family. She was the focal target of the Tianzong City and the City Lord could not easily do anything to her.
Lin Mo pulled Lin Xi's sleeve, indicating that she should not have any conflict with the second young lady. He took a step forward, bowed and said, "Second young lady, the Lin family did not stipulate that the disciples of the family are not allowed to leave the city. Xi-er is only young and hot-tempered, don't take offense. "
Lin Xi looked at Lin Mo's side profile, pouted and did not speak. Her heart was twitching. Back then, Lin Mo was also a young man. He had gone through too much these years, that was why he had become so cautious.
Lin Qing's gaze landed on Lin Mo's eyes. Those eyes were like stars, firm and unshakable. She gritted her teeth and a wave of irritation arose spontaneously. She said with a cold smile, "Lin Mo. Who do you think you are? How dare you plead with me? You are just a lowly commoner's child. You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. "
The adoptive mother's face, which was lying in a pool of blood, flashed. Lin Mo clenched his hand, and his aura became different.
Lin Mo raised his head and said calmly, "What about the second young lady? If she wasn't guilty and worried about losing the bet, she would have kowtowed and apologized to me. Why did she have to apologize to me? Why did you come here to see a son of a lowly commoner like me? "
Lin Qing's expression changed immediately. She took out her long whip from the Storage Bag. Her soul power overflowed in all directions, and the leaves rustled. The soul power that was nurtured from a mystic grade cultivation technique was incomparably powerful. The long whip tore through the air, and carried an unparalleled momentum as it rushed towards Lin Mo's vital points.
Ambush!
Lin Xi's expression changed greatly. She did not think that the second young lady would suddenly attack. Her movements were a step slower, and she was unable to save her in time. Seeing that the whip was getting closer and closer to Lin Mo's chest, the next moment, Lin Mo would be lying dead on the spot.
Lin Mo's breathing was a little heavy. He subconsciously held his sword across his chest. Seeing the ancient Long Sword, Lin Qing's expression was a little serious. However, she immediately felt that the Long Sword didn't have any soul power. A determined killing intent flashed across her face.
You dare to humiliate me? Go to hell!
But it was different from what she had imagined. The moment the dark green whip made contact with the ancient Long Sword, there was no impact at all. The surging soul force seemed to have disappeared into thin air in an instant.
The three people present were stunned, but Lin Mo's reaction was even faster! His wrist flipped, and the Long Sword drew a sword flower. It broke free from the entanglement of the dark green whip. These movements were completed in one go. His body was as light as the wind, and the Long Sword turned into a stream of light that went straight towards the second miss' throat!
A look of fear and confusion flashed across Lin Qing's eyes. Lin Mo was not even a martial artist. Why did he block her attack?! She panicked and did not have any defense. The sword Qi was strong. Lin Qing felt the fear of death. But just as the Long Sword was about to drink the beauty's blood, Lin Mo suddenly stopped his attack. However, he couldn't stop his body anymore. He borrowed the momentum of the attack. Lin Mo struck the second young lady's chest with his palm!
Lin Qing grunted and took two steps back.
A cool breeze blew past the fallen leaves. Anyone who saw this battle could not hide their shock. A mortal who had not advanced to a martial artist actually repelled the second young lady who had cultivated a mystic grade cultivation technique!
"Lin Mo! What are you doing?!" A deep reproach broke the silence. The city lord appeared just in time, and with an impartial look, he questioned Lin Mo.
Lin Mo sheathed his sword, bowed and said, "Second young lady suddenly attacked. Lin Mo defended himself out of instinct. "
"Self-defence?" The City Lord's eyes swept across Lin Mo's Long Sword. He had actually appeared a long time ago. He had been standing by the side when Lin Qing attacked. Lin Qing could not tell. However, he knew that it was to resolve Lin Qing's attack. It was this Long Sword that he coldly snorted. He furiously said, "I only saw you attacking Qinger! My Lin family owes you a debt of gratitude, but you actually do not know what is good for you! Drag Lin Mo away and serve him according to the family rules!"
Lin Mo lowered his head and did not say anything. There was no point in retorting. He would even make the punishment heavier. In these three years, He was the only one who had disputes with others, and the one who would be punished would always be him. He was used to it, and was about to accept the punishment. Lin Xi jumped out and protected Lin Mo behind her. Her expression was respectful, but her voice was angry. She was like a cuckoo crying its blood as she asked. "City Lord! Every word that Lin Mo said is true! What's wrong with that?! Why did you punish him?!"
The City Lord's face darkened. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Lin Xi, mind your own business. Go home!"
Lin Mo also pulled on her sleeve from behind and said, "Stop messing around. My skin is rough and I can take hits. Just hit me a few times will do. It doesn't matter. "
Lin Xi's eyes were slightly red. She gritted her teeth and her small face was full of stubbornness. She refused to move aside.
A trace of coldness flashed across the City Lord's eyes. He sneered and said, "Alright. If you don't move aside, you will be punished together with me!"
After Lin Mo heard this, he frowned and pulled Lin Xi behind him. He said even more respectfully, "City Lord, Lin Mo knows his mistake. City Lord, please punish him. Xi-er was just worried about me. Please don't take offense. "
The City Lord was quite satisfied with Lin Mo's tactfulness. Just as he was thinking of how to take the Long Sword for himself, the Second Elder suddenly appeared and said to the City Lord, "Patriarch, the third stage of the test is right in front of us. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to sentence Lin Mo at this time. "
The City Lord's expression was somewhat gloomy. The Second Elder's realm was not low, and he had already stepped half a step into the Martial Master realm. Therefore, his words carried a lot of weight. The City Lord restrained his anger slightly and said impartially, "Second Elder. According to what you said, If someone makes a mistake at this time in the future, can't they be punished? "
Lin Qing had also recovered at this time. Relying on her father's presence, she looked at Lin Mo with hatred and said, "That's right! Didn't you see just now that Lin Mo's sword almost pierced through my throat! He clearly has a grudge against the Lin family. Such a person must not be left alive!"
Lin Xi extended her jade-like hand and protected Lin Mo behind her. She fought back angrily," You are talking nonsense! It was clearly you who attacked first! "
Lin Qing's expression was ugly as she pointed at Lin Xi and said, "Why are you always protecting him?! I see that the two of you clearly have an affair! You shameless woman!"
"Enough!" The Second Elder's voice exploded like thunder. They were all members of the Lin Family. This kind of conflict would only cause outsiders to see a joke. He looked at the Second Miss somewhat unhappily. He waved his hand and said to the city lord. "Patriarch, the matter is not clear yet. Why don't we take the two of them into custody temporarily and wait until the third trial. We'll decide later?"
Lin Qing anxiously said from the side, "Father! We can't let that slut off so easily!"
The city lord pondered for a moment and his mind turned quickly. The Second Elder intervened. It was already hopeless to quietly deal with this matter. It was better for them to take a step back. He patted the back of the Second Lady's hand to comfort her and said to the Second Elder, "We will do as you said. However, Lin Mo used a weapon to hurt people. Everyone knows that his weapon must be confiscated. "
Lin Mo's face darkened. So it was because of this sword!
The Second Elder frowned. He didn't know where Lin Mo's weapon came from, but he knew that the city lord must have demanded something extraordinary from him.
He had picked Lin Mo up and watched him grow up, so he naturally stood on his side. However, the City Lord had already regressed. The Second Elder gave Lin Mo a look, sighed and said, "Let's do it this way. However, after passing the three trials, I hope that City Lord can return the sword to Lin Mo. "
A trace of joy emerged on the City Lord's face. He walked to Lin Mo and extended his hand, "Give it to me. "
Lin Mo gripped the sword tightly. This was something he had risked his life for. How could he bear to spit it out after it had entered the City Lord's mouth?
"Kid, give it to him. It's fine. " Surprisingly, the old man who had been silent for a long time suddenly opened his mouth.
Lin Mo gritted his teeth and waved his hand. He inserted the Long Sword into the ground and turned around to return to his room.
