Weird, my gaming life

Time passed day by day, and soon several more days had gone by. There was only a little over a week left before Lin Yuan woke up in the mortal world.

And on this day.

To the west of Qinghe Palace, the golden sunlight shines on the rolling mountains and reflects on the autumn chrysanthemums, creating a magnificent scene.

Amidst a sea of ​​flowers covering the mountainside, Xiao Lingling, accompanied by her best friend and two elegantly dressed young men, strolled and chatted happily through the blossoms.

Of course, there's always a little follower behind. Needless to say, this little follower is none other than Lin Yuan, the tiny kid who was forcibly dragged in to do odd jobs.

He was only six years old, yet the four of them assigned him most of the chores, ostensibly to train his physical strength.

Lin Yuan didn't have much to say about this. After all, if he didn't do it, who knows what his junior sister, who was already dissatisfied with him, would say about him in front of his cheap master.

Being disliked is a minor matter; being stripped of his current status is the real big deal. After all, when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.

He will only have the right to say no when he has the strength to resist. For now, he can only endure it for the time being. After all, although he has many accessories, they are not a problem for his current physical condition.

However, in order not to attract unnecessary attention, he pretended to be struggling and lagged far behind the four of them.

"Senior Brother, this place is absolutely beautiful!"

Wow! There are so many butterflies over there!

"Yan Yan, let's go dance together! Let's show our dance moves to Senior Brother and Senior Brother Lin!"

After saying that, Xiao Lingling, without waiting for Zhao Yan's consent, grabbed the somewhat shy girl and ran towards the flower bushes where butterflies were fluttering.

"Hehe, Brother Lingxiao, I didn't expect your junior sister from the Xiaoyang lineage to be so active!"

"Hehe, Brother Lin Ran, my junior sister is spoiled rotten. On the other hand, your Danyang lineage's junior sister is gentle and quiet, and her dance is incredibly captivating!"

Watching the two girls dance gracefully among the flowers, Ling Xiao and the eldest brother of the Fifth Elder's lineage couldn't help but comment on them.

Lin Yuan, who was not far away, silently put the group's belongings on the ground. When he looked up, he saw a scene as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

The girl's dance, the boy's gaze, and the butterflies fluttering in the air—this scene is so captivating that one has to compose a poem.

only.....

Lin Yuan always felt that there was an indescribable sense of crisis hidden beneath this beautiful scene.

From the first time he met his senior brother, he felt a strange sense of familiarity. Coupled with the perfect senior brother image he usually put on, it always gave him a sense of unreality, but he dared not express this feeling of unreality.

Judging from Xiao Weiran's attitude, he could tell how much his cheap master valued his eldest disciple.

Once he voiced his doubts, Lin Yuan had no doubt that he would be outmaneuvered. Therefore, when Lin Yuan met with this senior brother, he tried to be as quiet and cautious as possible to minimize his presence.

Ten minutes later, two rosy-cheeked girls walked towards their senior brothers with bright smiles, waiting for their praise. Just then, a colorful little bird suddenly flew low over everyone's heads.

The two girls' eyes lit up at the sight.

"My senior brother's little bird is so pretty!"

Ling Xiao's lips curved slightly. "Junior Sister, do you like it?"

Xiao Lingling nodded quickly.

"Haha, junior sister, wait here, your senior brother will go and catch it for you!"

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he saw Ling Xiao lightly tap the ground with his toes, and his whole body flew into the air. His legs moved slightly in the air, and the next moment his figure had turned into a small black dot in the distance.

"Wow! Senior brother's lightness skill is amazing! Ranran, did you see it?!"

Zhao Ranran, who was standing to the side, nodded shyly, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Seeing that he was completely overshadowed and seeing the starry-eyed look in his junior sister's eyes, Lin Ran felt a surge of jealousy. Although he was on good terms with Ling Xiao, their friendship was only superficial.

He didn't want his sweetheart from the Danyang lineage to be snatched away by that arrogant guy Ling Xiao, so he rolled his eyes.

"Junior Sister, if we're talking about the most skilled in lightness skill, it has to be the Grand Elder's personal disciple. She can walk on snow without leaving a trace, land silently, move like a startled swan, and swim like a dragon. She's the only person from our Qinghe Palace to be listed among the top ten prodigies in the martial arts world!"

Xiao Lingling, who was originally captivated by her senior brother's elegant figure, suddenly became displeased. Why did people always compare her senior brother to the Grand Elder's personal disciple?

So what if his martial arts are a bit better? But what good is that? In Qinghe Palace, when it comes to popularity, no senior brother can compare to his senior brother, because his senior brother is handsome enough.

"Hehe! Senior Brother Lin Ran, although Senior Brother Xiao Zhan is very powerful, he is not good-looking and is dull-witted. How can he compare to my senior brother?"

Lin Ran was speechless after being refuted by Xiao Lingling. Didn't you say your senior brother's lightness skill was amazing? He just found someone even more amazing to compare with. How did this involve looks?

However, he knew he couldn't argue with a little girl about this, because it would be pointless, so Lin Ran quickly changed the subject and started talking about things he was more professional about.

Sure enough, his junior sister's admiring gaze soon turned to him, which gave him a sense of satisfaction in getting back at her.

Just as the three were chatting idly, Ling Xiao, who had already used his lightness skill to get a hundred meters away, suddenly flew into a small grove of trees.

Four men dressed in black and with black faces immediately revealed themselves upon seeing the people.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Be quick and efficient, and remember not to leave any evidence!"

"Yes, young master, please rest assured. Dealing with a third-rate girl is a piece of cake. The two of us can easily take her down. The other two can clean up the mess. There will be absolutely no chance of failure."

"Yes! This matter is of great importance, and I don't want any mishaps to occur!"

"Yes, young master!"

The four second-rate peak experts bowed in unison. As assassins kept outside the sect, this was not the first time they had handled such shady matters for the Second Elder's lineage.

In the past, they had to deal with martial arts practitioners of the same level, which required some effort.

But today they were facing a little girl in her early teens, the kind who was spoiled and pampered. Despite her good background, she refused to work hard to practice martial arts. At twelve years old, she hadn't even reached the level of a third-rate martial artist. Dealing with this kind of girl was a piece of cake.

As for the others, one is the senior disciple of the Danyang lineage. Although he also possesses peak second-rate internal strength, he spends most of his time studying elixirs and is quite weak in combat.

Taking down such a martial artist would be a piece of cake for these assassins whose mission is to kill.

The assassins didn't take the remaining two seriously at all. One was a junior sister from the Danyang lineage who had almost no combat power, and the other was a disciple who had just been promoted from the miscellaneous servants' quarters. In such a short time, she hadn't had time to develop any combat power.

The four assassins quickly headed towards their destination.

On the other hand, Lin Yuan felt his right eyelid twitching after Ling Xiao left. Lin Yuan had experienced this terrifying sense of crisis once before, the day before his brother and mother were to leave.

Sure enough, he was sent to an orphanage the next day, and now he has reappeared. What does that mean? It goes without saying that a major crisis that will change his life has occurred. Lin Yuan has unwavering faith in this intuition.

Lin Yuan had already vaguely guessed that the person who had conspired with the Second Elder might have been his own senior brother.

However, at the time he was not sure, and he could not guess the reason why Ling Xiao did this, because from the attitude of his cheap master, it could be seen that he had already regarded Ling Xiao as his successor, and was even willing to entrust his beloved daughter to Ling Xiao for closeness.

Since everything in Xiaoyang's lineage would belong to him, the eldest brother, Lin Yuan couldn't understand what reason Ling Xiao had to betray them. Unable to understand, Lin Yuan decided to stop thinking about it. Now, he should think about how to avoid this crisis.

It wasn't that Lin Yuan was selfish, but rather that he wasn't close to Xiao Lingling. If he went to tell her there was danger and she should leave immediately, she wouldn't take him seriously, and he might even get a scolding. Naturally, Lin Yuan wouldn't do something so thankless.

The fact that his sense of crisis intensified as soon as Ling Xiao left shows what? It means that the other party had already made thorough preparations.

This place is not far from Qinghe Palace. If he wanted, with his current physical condition, he could quickly return to Qinghe Palace to report the news by jumping down a few hills. Perhaps Xiao Lingling could still be saved.

Lin Yuan glanced at the three people still chatting in the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly stepped forward.

"Third Senior Sister, I realized I forgot to bring the sketchbook you asked me to take while I was packing. Can I go back and get it now?"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Xiao Lingling instantly became furious.

"You can't even handle a small task! You know I'm going to show off my painting skills to my senior brother today, and now you're telling me you forgot your sketchbook? Let me tell you, if you don't bring it back before my senior brother gets back, I'll tell Father on you!"

"Yes! Senior Sister, please don't worry, I'll go back and get it right now. I promise I'll get your sketchbook back before Senior Brother returns!"

Lin Yuan lowered his head, and without waiting for Xiao Lingling's reply, he quickly ran back the way he came. Once he was completely out of Xiao Lingling's sight, Lin Yuan increased his speed to the maximum.

Although he didn't particularly like his junior sister Xiao Lingling, he had to admit that Lin Yuan's fate was now intertwined with his own. The main reason he was able to become a disciple was that Xiao Weiran wanted to use him as a way to motivate his daughter.

If he were unharmed but his daughter were in trouble, Xiao Weiran would definitely take his anger out on him. Even if Xiao Weiran is magnanimous and wouldn't easily take his anger out on him, there would still be some estrangement.

Once a rift develops, his status as a direct disciple will be indefinitely postponed. Therefore, at this moment, Lin Yuan really wants to return to Qinghe Palace to report the news and seek help.
