Rise Against Desperation

In the face of the proud expression of the guards, Lin Hu disapproved.

"Why did you surrender? Give me a reason."

On the night that Lin Fei died, Lin Fei's father sent me a letter. Lin Fei's spirit tablet had been shattered by a soul fragment from Lin Fei, so his life was taken away by Lin Fei, and you just happened to pick up that little girl that night. What else do you need?

Lin Hu laughed at these words, and then his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Xiao Yue'er was repeatedly bullied by Grandpa Huang, and for an old man in his eighties without any martial arts cultivation, his lower leg was broken, and as a village supervisor, I thought you didn't know at first, but it seems you already knew."

"As the village head, he was originally thinking for the sake of the villagers, to make the lives of the villagers happy. However, I have been in danger of my life, and you just have to ask for help from the others. Tonight, I will remove this tumor on behalf of the heavens."

After Lin Hu finished his words, he leapt up towards the guards and took a quick look at the cultivation base of a seventh stage Fighter.

"Good boy, you dare!"

How could the other five just sit there and wait for death? They immediately went up to support him, however, a fourth phase martial artist's cultivation was around 200 jins.

To Lin Yu, who had the strength of 800 Jin at Stage Seven of Martial Disciple, how could he compare with him?

The huge wooden staff smashed down onto the door of Lin Fei's guard, blood splattered all over the place, and Lin Fei had already fallen.

"You don't need to catch the scapegoat, I was the one who killed Lin Fei and the rest. Even if you die, you will still rest in peace."

Lin Hu then turned his head to look at the wretched man in a daze before he smashed down with his wooden stick once more. Both of his lives had perished here.

"Good brat, even if your meridians are restored and you have the cultivation of a martial artist at Stage Seven, we have five people. Do you think you can be our match with that wooden stick in your hand?"

These five people were all subordinates of Lin Fei's father. At this moment, they all had fear in their hearts, and with Lin Hua's cultivation level, they all took out their short sabers and looked at Lin Hu vigilantly.

"It is also because I do not have any martial skills that I cannot keep you all here. Thus, you all can leave."

Lin Hu waved his hand and turned around, but golden halos of light appeared in the night sky.

The five people, who were still rejoicing even after the blood blossomed, unknowingly fell to the ground.

After a few breaths, his eyes widened as he stared at a figure standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Hu.

"I knew you would be around. Sorry for troubling you again."

Lin Hu looked at the figures that appeared, and then he started to bury the corpses.

He then hurriedly returned, in case the village manager would be suspicious.

"Lin Hu, don't move."

Turning around to look at the purple eyes that had helped him, Lin Hu was filled with gratitude as he obediently stood where he was.

"Put down your guard, open your mind, and close your eyes."

Since he could not find any defense against the Purple Eyed Forest Sprout, he did as he was told.

A cold and silky jade hand touched her forehead, causing her to feel a little absent-minded.

After about ten minutes, the refreshing feeling gradually disappeared, and Lin Yuan finally opened his eyes.

The instant he opened his eyes, Lin Hu saw a silhouette tottering about.

Just as he was about to step forward to support him, the figure waved his hand and turned around to leave.

"It doesn't matter if your injuries have yet to heal. This is the Three Saint Dragon Fighting Technique, it's a low grade one Earth rank body tempering technique. Remember not to spread it to others. You can first find some time to comprehend it, then I'll slowly teach it to you when I have time."

Lin Hua was shocked by the words that were being spoken from behind him.

Earth Rank body tempering technique.

All those years ago, the highest cultivation technique he had heard of in the Lin Clan's ancestral manor was only a middle grade Profound Rank technique, and it was even an incomplete one. He then excitedly waved his hand towards the back, "Thank you, Master Purple Eye."

With these words, Lin Chu rushed back to the Fragrant Leaf village.

The sky gradually brightened. Lin Hua's hair was tainted with some morning dew, and a strand of hair was hanging down from his right temple.

In the faint light of the morning, she seemed even more resolute, and her young face was even more resolute.

"Zu'er, you've finally returned. Last night, the two overseers in the village asked where you were. We all said that you went up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs."

Hearing Grandpa Huang's caring voice, Lin Hu smiled and took out the medicine basket on his back.

"These medicinal ingredients are enough for me to use for a few days. I can also earn some money to support my living and give Xiao Yue something good to eat."

"Brat, why are you working so hard? Xiao Yue'er and I can eat our fill, so you don't need to rest properly, right?"

"Grandpa Huang, it's nothing, it's almost daybreak. I have to go to the medicine hall and hand in some medicinal herbs."

Lin Zhu did not reveal his whereabouts to the people closest to him.

This was because he was trying to protect others as well as himself. After a few short sentences, Lin Hu was about to leave and head towards the Medicine Hall.

Suddenly, Grandpa Huang stretched out a hand and grabbed onto Lin Hua's sleeve.

"No matter what, I have to eat my breakfast and dry rations before I can leave."

Lin Hu was stupefied for a moment. He looked at Grandfather Huang's intentionally slanted face and nodded warmly in response.

"Brother Lin Zu is great. Today, you will have breakfast with us again."

Xiao Yue'er was extremely happy to see Lin Hua sitting together with her, her eyes narrowing into the shape of crescent moons.

She was even happier than she used to be.

Watching the warm scene under the morning sun, Lin Hu swore to himself that he would never let any harm come to his family.

"Zu'er, my heart hasn't been at peace lately. I feel like something big is going to happen, so don't go into the mountains. The living expenses you earn are enough for the three of us to live a life of prosperity."

For Grandpa Huang and Xiao Yue'er, as long as they didn't starve or freeze, they would be rich.

Lin Hua looked at Xiao Yue'er's worn-out shoes and smiled faintly.

"Grandfather Huang, when you saved me, I was only thinking of repaying you for saving me. You see, Xiao Yue'er doesn't have any new shoes now, so when I have enough, I won't run into the mountains anymore."

Lin Hu had already stood up by this time, he patted Grandpa Huang's hand and said: "Grandpa Huang, don't worry, I'm very smart right now and won't be in danger. I'll be going to the medicine hall to hand in the herbs, I still need some janitor disciples to complete their tasks, so I'll be leaving first."

"I'm full and I don't have any sprouts. I can't eat anymore, so I'll give all of it to you."

A voice came from behind, Lin Hu's eyes turned red as he waved his hand, "Grandpa Huang, I saw that you didn't even eat a single bite, don't try to trick me into eating my fill."

At this moment, it was the busy time for the servant disciples. They could see the servant disciples splitting firewood and carrying water.

All of this was just for the sake of having a meal. He would train a few bodies every month with his meager martial arts stones. This was the daily routine of the janitor's disciples.

"Bro Zhu, you're here to hand in the herbs as well. It's really amazing that you picked so many."

A tiger-like youth who was a head shorter than Lin Hu was looking at Lin Hu with a face full of admiration. This youth was Little Tiger.

"Little Tiger, is your mother's sickness better?"

Lin Hu looked at Xiaohu as he shook his head, revealing a sorrowful expression, before patting him on the shoulder.

"Before the family meeting, I will go visit your mother. Maybe I have a way."

Upon hearing these words, Xiaohu looked at Lin Hua, his eyes gleaming, "Big brother Lin Hua, do you really have a way?"

"When have I ever lied to you? If there is a way, there is definitely a way. Quickly hand in the medicinal herbs and complete the next task."

Lin Hu was now able to cultivate, and after many years of repairing his meridians, he would not be harmed in the slightest.

As such, his words were filled with confidence, mainly because of the mysterious starlight that gave Lin Chu so much confidence.

"trash Lin Hua, give us some medicinal herbs."

A few discordant voices came from the entrance of the Medicine Hall, causing Lin Hu to furrow his brows as he sized up the three people in front of him.

Huang Xuan, Li Fei, and Zhao Shi were all janitor's juniors. Normally, they didn't have any conflicts, but they all listened to Lin Fei's words and colluded with him, betraying his whereabouts several times.

"Why should we give you these medicinal herbs when we picked them?"

Xiao Hu was the first to stand unhappily in front of Lin Hu and berated him loudly.

"If I let you give it to me, I'll let you guys give it to me. Why are you wasting your time? Do you want to get beaten up?"

Something was not right, something was not right. Lin Hu sized up the people in front of him.

Normally, there wouldn't be any conflicts. They were all janitor's disciples and all of them had a Fighter 2-dan cultivation.

These people did not have the guts to steal their medicinal ingredients.

"Huang Xuan, Li Fei, Zhao Shi, I, Xiao Hu, am now a Fighter 5-dan cultivator. Are you sure you want to take action?"

Little Tiger's words caused Huang Xuan and the other two to be stunned, but it also caused Lin Hu to be astonished.

He sized up Xiao Hu a few times. It seemed that the injuries on his leg and hands were not caused by harvesting herbs. It was also related to his own hard work in cultivation.

Huang Xuan and the other two were much taller than Little Tiger. Just as they were about to give it a try, they heard that Little Tiger had reached Fighter 5-dan, so they didn't dare to move closer. They could only look at him in disbelief.

"Stop lying, you want to reach Fighter 5-dan? If you reach your age, then you would have become an outer disciple long ago."

"Humph!" Once I've cured my mother's illness, I'll go and participate in the clan gathering to become an outer disciple. You guys just wait for me when the time comes. "

Little Tiger carried the medicine shop on his back as he pointed at the four people with his right hand. In a split-second, the four people did not dare to advance.

Seeing this scene, Lin Hu inwardly smiled, guessing that these four people might have been secretly sent by the Medicine Hall's steward to probe him.

Now that Little Tiger had done this, it saved him a lot of trouble.

"Older brother Xuan, I suspect that this brat is lying. How about I go and try?"

"Alright!" "Li Fei, go give it a try."

When Li Fei heard these words, he took a step forward and rushed in front of Little Tiger.

"Li Fei, today I will give you a punch to let you experience growth."

Little Tiger didn't slap Li Fei's face, instead, he threw a punch towards Li Fei's chest.

Four hundred Jin of strength sent Li Fei flying. This scene had truly shocked the three of them.
