Chapter 2, the protagonist makes an appearance
As the little friends came up to apologize and make amends, a few traces of pride emerged in Linghua's tear-filled eyes
Regardless of how fast he moves, Tianlin always maintains his original posture, gliding back and forth at a steady pace, exuding an air of transcendent elegance.
At this moment, Tianlin's eyes shifted, seemingly aware that it was not appropriate to continue. Thus, with a swift movement, her petite body split into five, simultaneously appearing in the air ten zhang high, distributed according to the five elemental directions. With her hands reaching out into the void, it seemed as if she intended to seize something, but unfortunately, the speed was too fast to discern clearly
Linghua remained silent, yet suddenly raised her voice in crying, clearly intending to attract the attention of her companions nearby
She soon noticed the boy several zhang away, and her cries suddenly intensified, drawing concerned inquiries from the four boys beside her
A considerable number of exceptionally talented and highly promising new recruits have been added, playing an extremely important role in the continuation of Tenglong Valley
Seeing Lin Fan angry, the little black monkey quickly followed his words and said, "Since that's the case, for Linghua's sake, let's capture Tianlin and have him apologize as a form of compensation"
Over there, when Lin Fan saw Tian Lin split into five and soar into the sky, his expression changed immediately, and he shouted as he flew after him
Known as the "First Valley of the Icefield," Tenglong Valley has experienced thousands of years of tranquility. Will it continue in peace, or will it rise to face turbulent times?
Today, the population of Tenglong Valley has surged, a result of a wise decision made hundreds of years ago to introduce foreign personnel, which has led Tenglong Valley towards prosperity
The little black monkey was troubled: "What should be done about this?"
Currently, the number of disciples under the Tenglong Valley has significantly increased, with a large group of talented young children, merely a few years old, undergoing the most rigorous training. They are beginning to take their first steps in life, moving towards higher and more distant goals.
"Shut up, can't you say something nice instead of being so annoying?" Lin Fan interrupted Tao Renxian's words, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
Moments later, Tianlin's figure merged into one, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Linghua, placing a delicate ice lotus flower into her astonished hands.
The fat man and Tao Renxian were relatively weaker in terms of skill, and after a bout of chasing, they were both panting heavily and gradually came to a stop
Snowflakes dance in the air, accompanied by the chill of winter
Seeing her cry, four out of the five little boys immediately surrounded her, coaxing, "Linghua, be good, don't cry, we were just playing with you."
Among the six children, Lin Fan is the oldest at the age of 7. Next are Tian Lin, who is 6 years old, and Hei Xiao Hou, who is also 6 years old. Ling Hua and Pang Zi Xue Jun are both 5 years old, while Tao Ren Xian is 4 years old
Lin Fan scoffed disdainfully and said angrily, "Tian Lin, do not put on your arrogant airs here. This time you made Linghua cry; shouldn't you step forward and apologize?"
Tian Lin glanced at the five individuals and said proudly, "I have no responsibility, so why should I apologize? She cried because she couldn't handle it, not because I deliberately teased or bullied her."
The tallest Lin Fan, upon hearing this, glanced at the handsome boy several zhang away and then lowered his head to ask, "Linghua, is it like this?"
On one side, the person who had been silent and rather annoying (real name Tao Renxian) finally spoke: "Tianlin is the most clever; every time we are played with by him, and we cannot compete with him, this..."
The siege and evasion occur in tandem; Tian Lin's seemingly slow figure, however, is able to navigate effortlessly among the swift movements of the four companions, making it difficult for others to comprehend
Soaring into the sky, there was already no one in sight of Tianlin
Fatty Xue Jun remained silent, while the little black monkey hesitated in expression. The remaining Tao Renxian was still young and lacked cunning, and he blurted out: "He has long been riding on our heads, so what will happen in the future..."
Tenglong Valley, flying dragons soar, an ancient legend, a hundred generations of reincarnation
Lin Fan and the other three moved swiftly, and although they were only a few years old, their early training in Taoist techniques made them resemble hunting dogs and agile leopards, darting through the snow.
Unfortunately, his current cultivation level only allows him to create three clones, which is still a significant gap compared to Tianlin
In the arena, Lin Fan's offensive maneuvers became increasingly swift
Beside him, a chubby boy of about five years old said, "Yes, we will all accommodate you from now on"
At this moment, a little girl, having chased her companions for half a day without catching any of them, huffed in annoyance, "You are bullying me; I am not playing anymore"
In this way, Lin Fan naturally felt unconvinced, but the other three harbored a latent awe towards Tian Lin, for throughout their lives, they had never once defeated Tian Lin.
Lin Fan searched around and found Tian Lin beside Ling Hua, feeling a surge of anger and disappointment. However, he was a moment too late; Tian Lin had already slipped away, leaving a trail of laughter echoing in the snow.
In the icy plains of the northern country, significant events are rare
However, who would have thought that Tian Lin would not respect Lin Fan's status as the leader, constantly mocking them, and causing Ling Hua to follow him like a shadow, which made Lin Fan and the others both resentful and furious
Lin Fan hummed, "A game is just a game, but when Linghua was crying just now, if you had stepped forward and said a few words, this situation would not have occurred. Who else can be blamed if not you?"
As Lin Fan and the others approached, Tian He and Tu Shu Lin remained indifferent, shaking their heads and mocking, "It is both sad and lamentable, and even more regrettable, to seek pleasure in love and fame. Impulsiveness will inevitably lead to punishment, and regret afterwards is of no avail." Their tone was calm, exuding a mature composure that was truly astonishing.
The current master of Tenglong Valley is named Zhao Yuqing, who is the most outstanding individual in Tenglong Valley in nearly a thousand years. He appears to be only thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, handsome and wise
Lin Fan's anger eased slightly upon hearing this, and he said loudly: "This is how it will be decided. If Tian Lin takes the initiative to apologize, this matter will be considered as if it never happened. Otherwise, today he will definitely know that we are not to be trifled with"
Lin Fan was at a loss for words and retorted, "Even if we had responsibilities at the beginning, we all apologized later, yet you did not apologize at all, and that is where you are in the wrong"
Tian Lin's expression was calm as he smiled and said, "We have been playing this game since we were young, and everyone is familiar with the rules. How can you shift the responsibility onto me?"
As a result, there has been a population peak in Tenglong Valley up to this point
Upon hearing this, Linghua's crying gradually subsided. With her red-rimmed eyes, she looked at her little friends and then at Tianlin, as if she wanted to say something. However, in the end, she swallowed her words due to the indifferent smile on Tianlin's face, and an expression of anger emerged on her face.
Time passes slowly
Observing the situation, Linghua's small face showed some concern. Several times she wanted to speak up to call for a stop, but for some reason, the words stuck in her throat.
"Lin Fan, you said Linghua has been crying; is it because Tianlin hasn't come to apologize?" The speaker was a small boy, precisely the "black little monkey" that Linghua mentioned, who had just turned six this year
When the little black monkey also helplessly withdrew, Lin Fan was left alone, which was even more dire
Seeing this, the stout Xue Jun affirmed, "It must be like this; every time Linghua is made to cry by Tianlin, Tianlin never apologizes"
Speaking of Zhao Yuqing, the only noteworthy mention is that over five hundred years ago, he single-handedly battled the Lord of the Departed Hate and the Master of the Evil Sect, resolving that conflict
What kind of legend will such a magical place reveal to us
They stopped in their tracks, and the five boys aged four to seven exchanged glances before bursting into laughter, shouting: "Linghua is such a miser; when he can't catch someone, he retreats, goes home and cries, yet later he won't admit it."
At that moment, seeing her five companions mocking her, she became even angrier and burst into tears, exclaiming: "Damn Lin Fan, bad Tian Lin, stinky fatso, black little monkey, annoying people, I hate you all, boo hoo..."
At this moment, Linghua cried even louder, which made Lin Fan feel increasingly irritated. He said to the three chubby friends, "Today, it was all because of Tianlin that Linghua was driven to tears. We must make him apologize; otherwise, he will continue to ride roughshod over us in the future"
Had it not been for that incident, no one would have imagined that Zhao Yuqing possessed such astonishing strength, capable of taking on two opponents and subduing the leaders of those two factions
As the oldest among his companions, Lin Fan has always considered himself the leader. He is regarded as the chief by Hei Xiaohou, Fatty, and the annoying one, and the four of them have always shown great affection for Linghua
On a flat expanse of snow, several slender figures are playfully chasing each other with great enthusiasm
Putting aside his arrogance, Tian Lin wore a mischievous smile on his face and made a funny face at Linghua, who was not far away. He then swayed his body left and right, like the slanting shadows of the west wind, wandering back and forth on the snow-covered ground where snowflakes danced.
Among them, a boy about seven years old, who was the tallest, comforted, "Linghua, don't cry. We won't dare again in the future. Please forgive us."
Lin Fan, exasperated, scolded, "Useless, don't you know how to resist?" Tao Renxian, naturally timid, silently lowered his head and dared not speak.
The boy's eyes were clear, occasionally flashing with a glimmer of intelligence, making it evident that he was a mischievous and clever child. At this moment, he was observing Linghua's situation, a hint of a mysterious smile that did not belong to his age playing at the corners of his mouth
To this end, Lin Fan and his three companions once joined forces to confront Tian Lin, but the outcome was unexpected; despite being four against one, they were unable to prevail and instead found themselves at the mercy of Tian Lin.
Several zhang away, the boy who had not yet approached appeared to be around seven years old. He was wearing a bear fur cotton jacket and had a delicate and refined appearance, even more handsome than a girl.
The girl named Linghua is about five years old, wearing a snow-white mink fur coat, with a small face that is rosy, which is quite endearing.
Linghua, despite her unwillingness, continued to weep, as if she had suffered a great injustice
Upon hearing the cries, Linghua began to weep again, while Linfan scolded, "Shut up. You refuse to admit your mistake and yet speak so confidently. Now we are going to capture you, and you must apologize." After saying this, he shouted loudly and charged ahead, leading the other three children towards Tianlin.
Glancing at Linghua, who had stopped crying, Tianlin smiled and said: "Her tears were due to her inability to catch anyone, and not caused by me. If you all had not competed with me at that time and had slowed down just a little, how could the subsequent events have occurred?"
The black monkey's agility was exceptional, fully cooperating with Lin Fan's attacks, yet it could not touch Tian Lin in the slightest, rendering the effort a complete waste of energy
For a thousand years, Zhao Yuqing has dedicated himself to the development of Tenglong Valley. Although he does not seek to expand territory or infringe upon others, his achievements are evident to all, leading Tenglong to thrive and reach a period of great prosperity
