Jian'an, Yu Kingdom's capital city, was a symbol of prosperity. It was also the root of the Yu Kingdom. Legend had it that as long as Jian'an was not invaded, Yu Kingdom would still exist. It should be the foundation of Yu Kingdom's six great clans.
The darkness of the night reflected Jian'an's glory.
The ancient buildings were incompatible with the prosperity of Jian'an, but no one dared to look down on this place, because this was the ancestral land of Lin Family, one of the six great clans in Yu Kingdom.
"Young lady, don't struggle. Aren't you making things difficult for us?" Two young men dressed in gold and silver respectively surrounded a thirteen - or fourteen-year-old girl and smiled bitterly.
"I didn't make things difficult for you. It was you who made things difficult for me." The girl rolled her eyes, revealing a sly look.
Immediately, a burst of intense light pierced the two of them, causing them unable to open their eyes. Balls of purple smoke exploded around them. They shook their heads helplessly, quickly took out a blue pill from their bosom, and took it. Then they rushed away one after another.
After a while.
"Lady, don't struggle. This is already the second hundred time you have escaped. Without the orders of the family leader, we wouldn't dare to send you away." The golden-clothed youth said, feeling extremely wronged. "Right, Yin?"
"Yes, We don't dare to let you go." The silver-robed man echoed expressionlessly.
"I beg you, Jin and Yin, let me go. If my father blames you, just say that I sneaked out. It has nothing to do with you." The girl kept looking around, trying to find a suitable way to escape.
"Lady, we don't dare to do that with the surveillance camera." Jin pointed to the surveillance camera beside him. "Right, Yin?"
"Yes, there are surveillance cameras." Silver echoed expressionlessly.
"Ah, the two of you are a scoundrel and a fool." The young girl stomped her feet and roared, with her pretty little face flushing red.
"Thank you for the compliment, lady." Gold bowed to the girl. "Right, Yin?"
"Yes, thank you for the compliment." Yin also bowed.
"Who made our baby angry again? I must teach them a lesson?" A dignified voice came from the air, and then an old man in plain clothes appeared next to the girl.
"Grandfather, the two of them ganged up together to bully me." The girl immediately threw herself into the old man's arms and said pitifully.
"Old master, how would we dare to bully our lady?" Jin immediately knelt. "Right, Yin?"
"We don't dare to bully our lady." Yin, who also knelt, said.
"Alright, I understand the situation. You may leave." The old man kindly waved his hand.
"Yes." The two of them slowly retreated, their figures slowly fading.
The old man nodded in satisfaction as he watched the two people retreat. When he was traveling, he had encountered bandits robbing a village, where hundred or so of villagers were all slaughtered. Only two babies in infancy were able to escape by being hidden in the water well. Seeing how pitiful they were, he brought the two of them back. What he did not expect was that they were extremely talented. When they were six years old, they had awakened the light and dark elements respectively. The older brother awakened the light elements while the younger brother awakened the dark elements. The two who had been trained since childhood had become the bodyguards of the lady in Lin Family. Their loyalty was self-evident.
"I know you so well. The two of them have always been bullied by you. How would they dare to bully you?" He pinched the girl's beautiful nose tip and said lovingly. "Don't keep thinking about escaping. That kid in Li Family is very outstanding."
"But I haven't even seen him before, let alone like him. I can't marry him."
"Yao'er, can grandpa tell you a story?" He took the girl's hand and strolled through the huge mansion. His eyes gradually became deep.
"Shadow Pavilion is an unpredictable organization, where a group of powerful outlaws had gathered. They believed in the God of s*******r and brought endless s*******r and death to this land, causing the hatred of all countries. In the past, two countries allied with two clans to work together to destroy this strength, but they ended up losing significantly. However, for some unknown reason, Li Family became enemies with the Shadow Pavilion, and the two sides broke out several great battles. The then-current head of the Li Family and the Shadow Pavilion master died together. However, the battle was far from over. The Shadow Pavilion said that they would destroy the future of the Li Family by killing their descendant. The death of the old patriarch was a huge loss for Li Family. As a result, Li Family's overall strength was weakened. Helplessly, the head of the Li Family family had no choice but to send the newborn child to a remote place to avoid the assassination."
"Was that Li Kong, the Young Master of Li Family?" The girl interrupted the old man and asked.
"Yes, he is actually very pitiful. At his age, he should have been spoiled by his family like you, with countless excellent resources. But... Alas!" The old man sighed deeply, "I went to see him twice. He has a good personality and good talent. He worked very hard and entered the Yuzhou City Magic Secondary School to study on his own. Back then, his grandfather and I were good friends. We agreed that if we both had grandsons, they would become brothers. If it were a girl and a boy, we would arrange for them to get married one day."
"Then he is still quite miserable. I've decided to give him a chance." Lin Yao said with a serious face. "Then I will go to that magic high school to study and see if this Li Kong is as outstanding as you guys praise him."
The old man was stunned. If he knew that it would be so easy to make his bizarre granddaughter compromise, he would have done so a long time ago. Then, a strange smile appeared on his old face.
"Grandpa, what's with that smile of yours?" Looking at the old man's smile, Lin Yao felt chilly on her back.
"Okay, I promise you, you just choose a time to go to Yuzhou City to take a look. If you still don't like him after getting along with him, then I will help you cancel the marriage. So will our precious baby Yao be satisfied?"
"That's more like it. I want to go by myself."
"No, Lin Jin and Lin Yin have to follow you. Otherwise, I won't be at ease." The old man's words instantly became stern.
"Then can I change two people to follow me? The two of them are bored to death." The girl pulled the old man's arm and shook it as she acted spoiled.
"Lin Jin and Lin Yin are specially trained by me to protect you. I can only be at ease with them around. The outside world is not like home. No one will treat you as a big lady and be obedient to you. So don't be picky." It was rare for the old man to resist his granddaughter's coquetry and constantly persuade her to accept the two brothers Lin Jin and Lin Yin. With the two brothers, people below the Sixth Grade couldn't frame Lin Yao. Even for those above the sixth rank, they still had the strength to fight back.
After making many agreements, the girl finally compromised and agreed to the conditions proposed by the old man.
"Let grandpa give you a good hug." After saying that, the old man picked up Lin Yao and rubbed his face against the little girl's cheek.
"Grandpa, your stubble hurts me."
"Oh! Okay, okay, I'll cut it tomorrow."
The laughter of the grandfather and granddaughter gradually faded away...
Li Kong, who had returned to the dormitory, did not know that he had been targeted and could not wait to call the landline at home.
After a while, a familiar voice came out, "Hello, is it Xiao Kong?"
Although he had only been here for many days, Li Kong still called his parents from time to time to tell them that he was safe and that they should not worry about him.
"Yes, and I have good news" Li Kong said to his phone.
"What good news?" The voice of doubt came from the phone.
"You don't have to give me allowances. I am working for the Yuzhou City Magic Guard now. This is a safe place with a high salary." Li Kong happily showed off his achievements to his parents.
After chatting with his parents about his daily life and listening to the constant warnings from the phone, Li Kong suddenly felt extremely comfortable. This was the love and care his parents had for him.
Right now, he had just found a suitable job. When he had enough money, he must buy a house here so that his parents did not have to live in the chaotic Yangzhou City. In this way, they also did not have to worry about sudden dangers. He must become stronger. Money could only be obtained more easily when he became stronger.
After hanging up the phone, Li Kong immediately entered a state of cultivation. According to his master, as long as he could enter the Fourth Grade mage and also awaken the Space Magic Department, he would teach him how to enter the Gate of Trials again.
At the thought of this, Li Kong was inexplicably excited. However, when he thought that he had only reached the Second Grade Senior-level of the fire element, the Second Grade Mid-level of the earth element, and the Second Grade Junior-level of the other three elements, his little face immediately became gloomy. How long would it take?
