#14 - Lin Xia joins

Lin Yun and Lin Dong both borrowed three martial arts techniques.

The Martial Arts Pavilion had backup copies of all the martial arts techniques, enough for many people to borrow them simultaneously.

There were many people at the Martial Arts Pavilion today.

And they were all of the younger generation.

Although the clan competition had just ended, the Qingyang Town Hunting Event, held every three years, was at the end of this year, and the younger generation of all major forces in Qingyang Town could participate.

That was a stage higher than the Lin Clan's competition, and it was also a trial competition to showcase the strength of the younger generation of each force.

If one could stand out in the hunting event, not only would they win honor for their clan, but they could also receive better rewards, and at that time, they could gain some fame in the entire Qingyang Town.

Therefore, the atmosphere of cultivation continued, and it was even more intense.

Many people greeted Lin Yun and Lin Dong enthusiastically.

Lin Xia also came here. Seeing Lin Yun and Lin Dong walking out of the Martial Arts Pavilion together, chatting and laughing, Lin Xia's expression froze. Lin Yun had few friends, and he used to bring Lin Yun to the Martial Arts Pavilion.

She snorted and said, "Oh, you two just finished fighting yesterday, and today you're already stuck together. What's wrong? Did you develop feelings after fighting?"

"Sister Lin Xia, what are you saying? Our relationship has always been very good. I have always respected Brother Lin Yun, and I sincerely accepted my defeat yesterday. Don't try to provoke us," Lin Dong teased.

"Can I provoke you? Look at the way you two looked at each other yesterday on the stage. Who couldn't see that you have a good relationship? In the first battle of the final, I've never seen anyone fight so harmoniously and lovingly," Lin Xia continued to tease the two.

As the big sister of the Lin family, she was naturally very happy to see each of her younger brothers and sisters be outstanding and united with each other.

It's just that these two guys were hiding too deeply.

It was too much; they even hid it from their older sister.

Especially Lin Yun, they had competed twice before, and Lin Xia was sure that Lin Yun had held back against her at that time.

These two were clearly stronger than her, their older sister, yet they were so low-key. Before the clan competition, everyone thought she would be the first, but when the competition came, all the attention was taken by these two guys, and she became a background board.

Moreover, what was hateful was that the two of them even put on a performance battle in the final. Lin Xia had reason to suspect that these two guys had agreed in advance.

"Honestly, did you two secretly cultivate together before? Otherwise, how could you cultivate the same martial arts techniques, and your martial arts attainments are so high?"

Lin Xia scrutinized the two, with the intention of getting to the bottom of things.

She felt that her suspicion was very likely.

Both of them rarely appeared in the public eye. Who knew if they were discussing martial arts together.

"Sister Lin Xia, you really misunderstood us. It's completely a coincidence. Although I and my younger cousin Lin Dong hit it off at first sight and had a good understanding in the clan competition, we really didn't collude. We usually cultivate in our own homes, and I didn't intentionally hide my strength. I'm just used to cultivating alone and don't like to be high-profile. I believe my younger cousin Lin Dong is also like this, so, Sister Lin Xia, you're really thinking too much," Lin Yun explained seriously.

Lin Dong immediately echoed, "That's right, that's right. I basically have no contact with Brother Lin Yun. It's completely a coincidence that we cultivate the same martial arts techniques. Moreover, there are so many people in the clan who cultivate these two martial arts techniques. You can't conclude that we are cultivating together and colluding to hide our strength based on this."

The two explained seriously. Even if they really colluded to hide their strength, it wouldn't be a big deal, but after all, Lin Xia was the first choice to win the championship, so it felt like they were stealing her limelight and slapping her in the face by deliberately colluding.

Of course, there was also Lin Hong, but Lin Hong was eliminated too early, so Lin Xia became the background board in the final stage.

Lin Xia was a good older sister, and they didn't want Lin Xia to misunderstand.

However, at this moment, Lin Xia suddenly saw that among the three martial arts techniques the two were holding, two of them were actually the same.

And the other one that was different was a fist technique.

"Heh, you two really have a tacit understanding," Lin Xia directly grabbed the hands of the two holding the martial arts techniques and put them together, as if she had successfully caught them in the act, and laughed in anger.

Such a "seeking common ground while reserving differences" friendship.

And they said they weren't familiar!

Lin Yun and Lin Dong's faces instantly turned awkward. The three identical and similar martial arts techniques in their hands became the most powerful evidence to refute their previous explanations.

If you're not familiar, would you choose the same martial arts techniques to cultivate?

Generally, what martial arts techniques you learn are secret, right? That's your own ability, so how could you casually reveal it to others?

And what's the point of learning the same martial arts techniques? Isn't it to facilitate communication and verification, learn from each other, and improve together?

Would people with ordinary relationships do this?

Now, it seems that saying anything is pale and powerless!

"Okay, Sister Lin Xia, if you really want to think that way, we can't do anything about it. Whatever you think it is, it is," Lin Yun spread his hands, simply not explaining anymore.

"Hmph!"

Lin Xia snorted angrily and suddenly said, "You two guys, can't you take me with you?"

"Ah, together?"

Lin Yun and Lin Dong were stunned.

Together, what together?

They weren't prepared to cultivate together.

Although they had chosen the same martial arts techniques, both of them wanted to cultivate separately… quietly work hard and shock the other.

Lin Xia's meaning was that she wanted to join the two, cultivate together, discuss martial arts, and improve together.

Lin Yun and Lin Dong's previous performances had impressed the elders. Their ability to cultivate two martial arts techniques to perfection proved that they had unique insights into martial arts.

Therefore, Lin Xia was tempted. If she could cultivate with the two of them, even if she couldn't reach their level, she should improve faster than cultivating on her own.

She wanted to learn martial arts experience from Lin Yun and Lin Dong.

Seeing Lin Yun and Lin Dong showing surprised expressions at the same time.

"What? Do you dislike me?" Lin Xia said angrily, feeling wronged.

As the big sister, she had always been forthright and believed that she was good to her younger brothers and sisters.

Before, she had even reluctantly parted with two second-grade spiritual herbs and gave them to Lin Yun.

Now, they were hesitating about such a small request.

Was she very stupid? Was she not worthy to discuss martial arts with the two of them?

Then, at worst, she would just listen and watch from the side, and she wouldn't disturb them. Was that not okay either?

Lin Dong didn't dare to offend Lin Xia and looked at Lin Yun and said, "Brother Lin Yun, what do you think?"

Lin Yun was helpless. In this situation, it was obvious that it couldn't be explained. Lin Xia had already determined that the two were cultivating together, and if he refused again, he would really be looking down on his older sister.

He could only take some time out to guide Lin Xia. As for whether Lin Xia could make progress, it would depend on herself.

After all, they were not martial arts geniuses. The reason why they were so awesome was purely because they had cheats.

"Okay, Sister Lin Xia, let's schedule a time regularly. Um, five… ten days, once every ten days. The location will be in the back mountain. There are few people in the back mountain, and it's spacious. When the time comes, let's go there together, exchange martial arts, and by the way, we can also go hunting, practice in advance, and prepare for the hunting event at the end of the year."

Lin Yun thought for a while and said.

"Okay, that's good!" Lin Dong immediately agreed.

"That's more like it!" Lin Xia also said with satisfaction.

Always cultivating in seclusion was too boring. It would be good to go out and move around, and Lin Dong and Lin Xia were both strong, so they were two good sparring partners.

"Then, Sister Lin Xia, which of these four martial arts techniques are you going to choose now?"

Lin Yun spread out the three martial arts techniques in his hand and asked.

Lin Xia stared blankly at the six martial arts techniques of the two. She didn't want to complain about these two perverted younger brothers anymore. Cultivating three martial arts techniques at the same time, and they were still third-grade, was simply insane.

Before, when she was cultivating the second-grade martial arts technique Spirit Sword Finger, it took her a long time to succeed.

Now, when cultivating the third-grade martial arts technique, she didn't have much confidence.

These two guys chose three at the same time, and they looked so confident.

Was this the difference between geniuses and mortals?!

Although Lin Xia was a girl, she also had a strong character, and she didn't want to be compared too much by her two younger brothers.

"I'll just compromise and choose the ones that you two have in common, Flowing Wind Movement and Qimen Seal," Lin Xia said straightforwardly.

She didn't intend to dwell on why the two of them would choose the incomplete martial arts technique Qimen Seal. Geniuses' thoughts were incomprehensible to mortals. Anyway, she would learn how the two of them cultivated when the time came.
