Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 286 Clean up the Lin Family!【2 more】

For five thousand years across Shenzhou, Jianghu has also evolved for just as long.

During the Shun Dynasty, martial arts began to rise; it gained momentum during the Yong Dynasty and reached its zenith in the Ning Dynasty.

However, for all this time, there has been only one person who has completely relied on his own efforts to kill his way up to become the Supreme Martial Arts Master, and that is the Master of Highest Heaven Tower.

Before him, although the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch was still elected during the Martial Arts Conference, most had the support of their forebears and behind-the-scenes Jianghu forces.

Reviewing the entire history of Jianghu, no one would oppose the statement that the Master of Highest Heaven Tower is the strongest Hierarch of the Martial Arts Alliance ever.

The mere fact that no one in Jianghu knows his true face is enough to prove his might.

Even King of Yan, He Jia, rated him highly—

The first man of Jianghu.

Just five simple words, but they reveal the terrifying power of the Master of Highest Heaven Tower.

"They do need to be taught a lesson, or else they’ll keep targeting Miss Ye and her family every day, making it impossible for Miss Ye to properly prepare for the physics competition," Bing He said solemnly, "Young Master, as Miss Ye’s most solid support, it’s up to you to help her remove any worries from the rear, so she can move forward better!"

Tie Ma looked at Bing He somewhat strangely.

He had always felt that recently Bing He seemed to have read quite a few books and had grown a little too fast.

Could it be because the year was ending, and he wanted to snatch his year-end bonus?

Thinking this, Tie Ma instantly became much more vigilant.

He would absolutely not give Bing He this opportunity!

He needed to find the right moment to sell out Bing He!

"Mm, let’s go," Yan Tingfeng coughed softly a few times, "We still have to keep this from Xiao Wan. I became ill while looking for her a while ago and damaged my health. Although I have recovered now, if she knows I’ve taken action again, she will probably be angry."

Hearing this, Bing He and Tie Ma exchanged glances, both somewhat hesitant.

They did want to keep it a secret...

But with Miss Ye’s keenness, could they really hide it from her?

Bing He sighed inwardly.

It seemed that he could only light a candle for their Young Master in advance.

Late at night, the Lin Family residence was still brightly lit.

In various courtyards, one could hear the sounds of different classical instruments, including zithers, flutes, and pipas.

Whether they were core descendants, direct lineage descendants, or peripheral descendants, all were seizing the time to practice the Heavenly Music Method, all to improve their status and gain more resources.

Several guard teams patrolled within the Lin Family’s domain to ensure that no emergencies occurred.

However, it was precisely at this time that an unexpected event happened.

"Whoosh!"

A leaf swept through the air and "bang"—it actually directly shattered the weapon in the guard’s hand.

This weapon was made of iron, forged through a thousand hammerings.

It’s not just leaves, even weapons of the same iron quality could definitely not achieve this.

Yet, this leaf not only shattered the weapon but also knocked the guard holding it to the ground.

The force was so great that the guard passed out.

"Who?!"

The other guards became alert.

They looked up, and in that instant, more leaves flew over, turning into blades under the overwhelming force of inner strength.

An ordinary person would think this a ghostly sight.

But the Lin Family guards knew these leaves were propelled by inner strength. The delicate leaves had such killing power, indicating the person behind them possessed profound inner strength.

Fearfully... not even the Lin Family’s Supreme Elder could match this!

"Enemy attack—!" The Chief Guard roared, "We’re under enemy attack!"

"Clang!"

"Clang clang—"

The Lin Family descendants, still in training, immediately used their instruments to chase after the enemy.

An enemy attack, for them, was actually a great training opportunity.

Unless, of course, the enemy was stronger than they imagined.

Leaves floated down, losing the support of inner strength.

But then the sound of a flute rang out, its expansive inner strength spreading throughout the entire area of the Lin Family.

This flute sound, even when clashing with the sounds of various classical instruments, remained unhurried and composed.

The Lin Family had deployed all their guard teams, but they couldn’t spot any intruders.

"Miss, there’s nobody!" Steward Lin said hurriedly, "However, five of our guard teams have temporarily lost their ability to act. There have been no fatalities, but what should we do..."

Five guard teams, that’s two hundred and fifty people!

And to think the enemy hadn’t even shown themselves yet, what kind of terrifying existence could this be?

The three elders who remained at Lin Family were also deep in thought with somber expressions, contemplating the situation.

"This is a warning," Lin Shiyuan spoke slowly.

A warning?

At these words, the people of the Lin Family were both shocked and angry.

They were shocked at the fact that they didn’t know what the Lin Family had done to receive such a warning.

Angered that someone in Yunjing dared to warn the Lin Family?

Even the Xiang Family, the undisputed leader of the Five Major Families, would never dare to warn the Lin Family in such a manner.

Moreover, there has never been much dispute over interests between the Lin Family and the Xiang Family; the two families are even related by marriage.

But apart from the Xiang Family, which other power could possess such means?

The Elders Council was also silent for a moment.

Lin Shiyuan frowned slightly.

She had just heard the sounds of the flute, its tones long, melodious, and very pleasant to the ear.

Yet it was this flute music that shattered the zither music of the Lin Family, causing the guards to be struck down before they could even use their actual strength.

This indicated that the other party was very familiar with the Heavenly Music Method.

Yet she was one hundred percent certain that the person who appeared today was definitely not the same person who had seriously injured her confidant the other day.

There was another one...

Lin Shiyuan took a slow breath, and for the first time, a hint of impatience appeared in her calm heart.

The Great Elder asked, "Shiyuan, have you figured anything out?"

"Enough," Lin Shiyuan closed her eyes, "This is a critical moment. We can’t afford any distractions. Whether it’s bringing back the Secluded Zither or other matters, let’s suspend them all."

The Chief Guard blurted out, "Miss, but the Secluded Zither—"

The Secluded Zither had been hard-won by Lin Weilan and had made its way into the hands of the younger generation in Yunjing. If not now, when else would there be a better opportunity?

"No need for further words, I have made up my mind," Lin Shiyuan raised her hand to stop the Chief Guard from saying more, "I will be in seclusion during this period. Should anything major arise, let my mother and the Elders Council decide."

Having said that, she left straight away.

The Great Elder sighed, "It’s probably for the best. Shiyuan has really been too exhausted these days. With so many people in our Lin Family, we can’t put all heavy burdens on her alone."

It was just because Lin Shiyuan was so exceptional that the other descendants of her generation couldn’t come close to matching her.

If there really were a second prodigy to share some of the load with Lin Shiyuan, they wouldn’t be in such a difficult position.

**

Having been warned, the Lin Family really did calm down, and these past few days in Yunjing had been peaceful.

With Xue Yiwei’s disturbances gone, the team from Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School, under Ye Wanlan’s leadership, won another three rounds of the elimination matches.

They only needed one more win to enter the final competition.

The Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School’s team’s performance was also commendable, having moved on to the fourth round of eliminations.

This round pitted Yunjing No.1 Middle School against Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School.

Yunjing No.1 Middle School is one of the two best high schools in Yunjing, on par with Yunjing University Affiliated Middle School.

The two schools’ teams also accounted for two of the four seeded contestants in this Physics Competition.

In terms of overall strength, Yunjing No.1 Middle School was indeed stronger than Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School.

The rules of the elimination match haven’t changed, it’s still four problems, one for each person.

But by the fourth round, the difficulty level of the problems had increased several fold.

Lin Wenli and Lin Qin, having been through Ye Wanlan’s devilish training, were able to smoothly read the problems, but the other two team members lagged behind in comprehension, needing Lin Wenli and Lin Qin to explain to them.

However, even then, Lin Wenli and Lin Qin had no time to spare to help them finish the problems.

Because by the time the two of them completed their own problems, the countdown had already begun.

And Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School still had two problems unfinished.

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry," the two team members cried in panic, "Wenli, Qinqin, we truly did our best, we’ve let you down."

The problems were too difficult; it seemed that Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School was going to stop at the semifinals.

Lin Wenli shook his head, his voice gentle, "It’s okay, we are a team, you don’t have to apologize."

The closer they got to the finals, the more challenging the problems became.

The final competition would have individual matches, but the elimination rounds were only team matches.

However, since the abilities of each team member varied, even the strongest contestant couldn’t take on four alone.

Lin Wenli sighed.

It seemed he couldn’t keep his promise to meet Ye Wanlan in the finals.

"Don’t panic," Lin Qin echoed, "We’re here to practice, to learn. If we lose, we lose; it’s not a big deal."

"Dinglingling—"

The bell rang, signaling the end of the match.

The four whiteboards from Yunjing No.1 Middle School were now turned towards the audience, displaying neatly written answers.

But these four problems were solved by the two seeded players on their team.

Two people had done the work of four, their talent in Physics truly substantial.

The judges also awarded them full marks.

And because Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School failed to complete two problems, they only scored three hundred points.

In this round of the elimination match, Yunjing No.1 Middle School won.

Ye Wanlan wasn’t surprised by the result at all; the overall strength of the Yunjing No.1 Middle School team was indeed stronger than that of Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School.

Then, a boy spoke up, "Lin Wenli, is it? Remember this, the person who defeated you is called Lu Shuyun."

Lin Wenli turned his head.

"You have some skills, but your teammates..." He scoffed as he continued, "Such simple questions, and they’re crying because they can’t solve them? That’s embarrassing. Is this the quality of education and students in Jiangcheng; this useless?"

His gaze toward Lin Wenli and his teammates was filled with contempt, clearly branding them with the words "useless" and "trash."
