Lin Qi suddenly spoke, "Is there any spirit stone?"

The female cultivator was stunned for a long time, not understanding her meaning.

A burly man wielding a knife rammed into Lin Qi, and as he grinned and moved forward, she suddenly reacted and yelled: "I have spirit stones!"

"My father is the head of the Bishuizong, and my mother is an elder of the Huayuanzong. As long as you save me, I can give you a lot of spirit stones!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the muscular man wielding the knife unleashed two sharp blades of energy.

These two blades of energy struck directly at her dantian.

If this were to be hit, the female cultivator would instantly become a cripple, with no power to resist.

By then, I'm afraid these people will be allowed to run rampant.

Lin Qi's heart has always been cold. She didn't mind watching female cultivators die before her eyes.

But she didn't want to see the female cultivator being humiliated like this, right in front of her.

A tooth lost brings cold to the lips; one's own kind harms another.

Hearing the female cultivator's answer that she had spirit stones, Lin Qi's Emperor Phoenix Sword unsheathed silently, a cold aura swirling around it.

The man wielding the knife instantly sensed Lin Qi's cultivation the moment she drew her sword.

At such a young age, to possess the Golden Core realm... either this person is an old monster disguised using an illusion pill, or they must be an elite disciple cultivated by a major sect or powerful family.

If in the past, a man with a knife had endured this anger and turned away.

At this moment, he scanned his surroundings, and it was packed with people.

These people come from all walks of life, and countless individuals have donned disguises.

Even if he had committed a crime, after leaving and changing his face and head, running around in all directions, who could recognize him?

The four of them were late stage Golden Core cultivators. If they were afraid of a single mid-stage Golden Core disciple, how could they ever hold their heads high in the future?

"Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! This is not your sect's territory, so don't act recklessly!"

Lin Qi's face remained unchanged, his eyes calm. "Are you going to leave or fight?"

Choose for yourselves.

Her delicate and pretty face was emotionless, her whole body surrounded by a chill. Her eyelids twitched slightly, her killing intent hidden from view.

Several men in black actually felt intimidated by her aura, but their status as cultivators prevented them from lowering their weapons and admitting defeat.

"If that's the case, don't blame us brothers for getting rough!"

As the man in black at the front roared, the three brothers behind him simultaneously unleashed their cultivation base of late-stage Jindan. A fierce and tiger-like aura surged forward, causing many onlookers to retreat three feet in fright.

At the same time, two people had already made their move and launched a surprise attack.

First, they pleaded with Lin Qi, but when Lin Qi rebuffed them, the two suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura and attacked Lin Qi at the same time.

Lin Qi stood still, her expression unchanged. However, the chill of her sword intent had silently spread throughout the surroundings.

When several people launched an attack simultaneously, a chilling white light swept across the faces of the crowd.

Everyone only felt a chill run down their necks.

Lin Qi's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

---

To be replaced later

A dignified and aloof voice carried a chill, but the gentle movements of his hands inadvertently revealed a touch of tenderness.

Lin Qi subconsciously stood up straight, her nose twitching unconsciously.

Gong Shaojun took a handkerchief and wiped the dirt and tears from her face. His movements paused when he touched the two lumps on her forehead.

This is not the first time.

Lin Qishi was born missing a soul and a spirit, specifically the earth soul and the spiritual wisdom spirit. He showed signs of being somewhat mentally impaired.

When playing outside, I always get bullied and come back home with injuries every time.

When asked who hurt her, she didn't even know she was injured.

She can protect her for a while, but not for her whole life.

Gong Shaojun sighed, "You're just in time, let's go take a look together!"

She waved her hand, and everything that happened in the ancestral hall was projected onto the screen.

Lin Qi saw his father being pressed onto a long bench and beaten. The iron board landed on his father's body, each blow making him wince in pain.

He cried out.

Grandaunt and her maternal mother sat in the first place, their faces calm and indifferent.

Grandaunt asked, "Mother, 'This fool has wronged you and brought shame upon our family. He deserves to be killed! But he is the head of the Lin family after all... Just spare his life, and do with him as you please afterward!"

'Mother calmly sipped her tea, casually revealing a major piece of news.'

Last night, I luckily broke through to the Yuan Ying stage.

Lin Qi saw her great-grandmother stand in shock.

Then, filled with rage, he commanded the servants, "Beat him! Beat him severely! If you kill him, throw his body out!"

The servant, frightened, increased his strength.

The father's screams grew louder and louder, and he even spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

"Mother sees that the time is ripe, and slowly speaks: 'Auntie, please do not get angry. Lin Jian's personality is weak, he is not suited to be the head of the family. Perhaps we can use this incident to make him step down, and replace him with someone else... what do you think?'"

Lin Qi looked at her great-grandmother's face turning purple.

She loathed her father's incompetence and seethed at her mother's constant pressure.

In this remote, border town, a Nascent Soul cultivator could ensure the Lin family's peace for a thousand years.

If Gong Shaojun were to divorce in a fit of anger and take another wife, even the grand aunt wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

You can't provoke this Nascent Soul cultivator, she is not to be messed with.

Grandaunt probed weakly, "If Lin Jie doesn't become the head of the family, who do you think would be suitable?"

“My dear,” her mother said gently, “Little Seven is getting older now. She’s old enough to take over her father’s position.”

When four-year-old Lin Qi takes over as the head of the Lin family after her father?!

Grandma was surprised, but also relieved.

As long as the head of the Lin family still bears the surname Lin, she would not be betraying her ancestors.

She immediately agreed and said, "Okay, I'll have someone start arranging it right away!"

Lying on the ground half-dead, Lin Jue suddenly raised her head, her bloodshot eyes pointing at "Mother": "Young Master, you plotted against me!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, two figures rushed towards Shen Jue, sobbing.

One little girl glared angrily at the elderly matriarch on the throne and Gong Shaojun, her eyes brewing with a touch of hatred.

Lin Qi opened her eyes wide, staring at the face that was both unfamiliar and familiar to her.

The girl's face was still quite young, but it matched the appearance of Lin Yun, the celestial being who had achieved enlightenment, from her dream.

Foreign memories flooded in, crashing against Lin Qi's brain like a tidal wave.

She couldn't bear it any longer, spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Xiaoqi!"

Gong Shaojun's usually calm and composed voice carried a hint of worry.

Lin Qi's felt like she had either just woken up from a dream or been forcefully implanted with many unfamiliar memories.

She realized that the dream she had before was actually her past life.

She actually lives in a fantasy novel about cultivating immortality.

This storybook narrates the struggles of her half-sister, Lin Yun.

When his father was incompetent and his mother was murdered, three-year-old Lin Yun could only survive by relying on the Lin family.

As the illegitimate daughter of the Lin family, she was looked down upon by everyone in the desolate city.

The elder sister was stupid and domineering, often bringing people to bully her, even allowing the servants of the Lin family to oppress and abuse her at will.

Before the age of five, Lin Yun's life was incredibly miserable, beyond description.
