Lin Yun and Lin Dong each borrowed three Martial Arts techniques.
The Martial Arts Hall's techniques all had copied backups, enough for many people to borrow simultaneously.
Many people came to the Martial Arts Hall today.
They were all from the younger generation.
Although the Clan Competition had just ended, at the end of this year was Qingyang Town's triennial Hunting Event, which the younger generation of all major powers in Qingyang Town could participate in.
That was a stage higher than the Lin Clan Competition, and also a trial and competition to showcase the strength of the younger generation from each power.
If they stood out in the Hunting Event, they could not only win honor for their clan but also receive better rewards. At that time, they would gain some fame throughout Qingyang Town.
Therefore, the cultivation atmosphere continued, and even intensified.
Many people warmly greeted Lin Yun and Lin Dong.
Lin Xia also came here. Seeing Lin Yun and Lin Dong walk out of the Martial Arts Hall together, chatting and laughing, Lin Xia's expression froze. Lin Yun had few friends, and she was the one who used to bring Lin Yun to the Martial Arts Hall.
She snorted through her delicate nose and said, "Oh, you two just fought yesterday, and today you're sticking together. What, did you develop feelings for each other after fighting?"
"Sister Lin Xia, what are you saying? Our relationship has always been good. I've always respected Brother Lin Yun, and I was completely convinced by my loss yesterday. Don't try to sow discord between us," Lin Dong teased.
"Can I sow discord? Look at how you two were so appreciative of each other on stage yesterday. Who can't see that your relationship is good? I've never seen anyone fight so harmoniously and friendly in a final match for first place," Lin Xia continued to tease the two.
As the big sister of the Lin Clan, she was naturally very happy to see all her younger brothers excel and be united.
It was just that these two guys hid too deeply.
It was too much, they even hid it from their sister.
Especially Lin Yun, they had competed twice before, and Lin Xia was sure that Lin Yun had gone easy on her back then.
These two, who were clearly stronger than her, their sister, were still so low-key. Before the Clan Competition, everyone thought she would be first. When the competition happened, the spotlight was completely stolen by these two guys, and she became the background.
What was even more hateful was that in the final battle, the two even put on a performance. Lin Xia had reason to suspect that these two guys had arranged it beforehand.
"Honestly confess, did you two secretly cultivate together before? Otherwise, how could you cultivate the same Martial Arts techniques, and have such high Martial Arts attainments?"
Lin Xia scrutinized the two, clearly intending to get to the bottom of it.
She felt that her suspicion was very likely.
Both of them rarely appeared in public view. Who knew if they were discussing Martial Arts together?
"Sister Lin Xia, you really misunderstood us. It was completely a coincidence. Although Lin Dong and I felt like old friends at first sight and had a good understanding during the Clan Competition, we really didn't collude. We usually cultivate in our respective homes, and I didn't intentionally hide my strength, I just prefer to cultivate alone and don't like to show off. I'm sure Lin Dong is the same. So, Sister Lin Xia, you're really overthinking it," Lin Yun explained seriously.
Lin Dong immediately echoed, "Exactly, exactly. Brother Lin Yun and I basically have no contact. Cultivating the same Martial Arts techniques is completely a coincidence. Besides, there are so many people in the clan cultivating these two Martial Arts techniques, you can't conclude that we cultivated together and colluded to hide our strength based on this."
The two explained seriously. Even if they did collude and hide their strength, it wasn't a big deal, but after all, Lin Xia was the top contender for the championship. It was a bit like stealing her thunder and slapping her face. Deliberately colluding would be equivalent to deliberately targeting Lin Xia.
Of course, there was also Lin Hong, but Lin Hong was eliminated too early, so Lin Xia became the background in the final stage.
Lin Xia was a good sister, and they didn't want Lin Xia to misunderstand.
However, at this moment, Lin Xia suddenly saw the three Martial Arts books in their hands, and two of them were actually the same.
The other different one was also a fist technique.
"Heh, you two really have a good understanding," Lin Xia directly grabbed the hands of the two holding the Martial Arts books and put them together, as if she had successfully caught them in the act, laughing angrily.
Such a friendship of "seeking common ground while reserving differences."
And they said they weren't close!
Lin Yun and Lin Dong's expressions instantly became awkward. The three identical or similar Martial Arts books in their hands became the most powerful evidence against their previous explanation.
If you weren't close, would you choose the same Martial Arts techniques to cultivate together?
Generally, what Martial Arts techniques one learns is a secret, isn't it? That's one's own ability, how could it be casually exposed to others?
And what is the purpose of learning the same Martial Arts techniques? Isn't it for better communication and verification, mutual sparring, and common progress?
Would people with a normal relationship do this?
Now, whatever they said seemed pale and powerless!
"Alright, Sister Lin Xia, if you really want to think that way, there's nothing we can do. Whatever you think it is, it is," Lin Yun spread his hands, simply giving up on explaining.
"Hmph!"
Lin Xia snorted angrily, then suddenly said, "You two guys, why don't you take me with you?"
"Ah, together?"
Lin Yun and Lin Dong were stunned.
Together, what together? They weren't planning to cultivate together.
Although they had chosen the same Martial Arts techniques, both of them wanted to cultivate separately... quietly work hard and shock the other.
Lin Xia's meaning was that she wanted to join the two, cultivate together, discuss Martial Arts, and make progress together.
Lin Yun and Lin Dong's previous performance had impressed the elders. Their ability to cultivate two Martial Arts techniques to perfection proved that they had unique insights into Martial Arts.
Therefore, Lin Xia was tempted. If she could cultivate with the two, even if she couldn't reach their level, it should still be faster than cultivating and exploring on her own.
She wanted to follow Lin Yun and Lin Dong to gain Martial Arts experience.
Seeing Lin Yun and Lin Dong simultaneously show expressions of surprise.
"What? You dislike me?" Lin Xia said loudly, feeling a bit angry and wronged.
As the eldest sister, she had always been straightforward and believed she was quite good to her younger siblings.
Before, she had even reluctantly given Lin Yun two Grade 2 Spiritual Herbs.
Now, with such a small request, they were actually hesitating.
Was she that stupid, not worthy of discussing Martial Arts with them?
Well, at most, she would just listen and watch from the side, not disturb them. Couldn't they even allow that? Lin Dong didn't dare to offend Lin Xia and looked at Lin Yun, saying, "Brother Lin Yun, what do you think?"
Lin Yun felt helpless. In this situation, it was clearly impossible to explain. Lin Xia had already decided that the two of them were cultivating together, and refusing again would truly be looking down on his sister.
He could only spare some time to guide Lin Xia. As for whether Lin Xia could make any progress, that would be up to her.
After all, they weren't Martial Arts geniuses. The reason they were so formidable was purely because they were cheating.
"Alright then, Sister Lin Xia, let's set a regular time. Hmm, five... ten days, once every ten days. The location will be the Back Mountain. There are fewer people on the Back Mountain, and it's spacious. At that time, we'll go together to exchange Martial Arts, and we can also go hunting along the way, getting some early experience to prepare for the Hunting Event at the end of the year."
Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, that's good!" Lin Dong immediately agreed.
"That's more like it!" Lin Xia also said with satisfaction.
Constantly cultivating in seclusion was too boring. It was good to go out and be active. Moreover, Lin Dong and Lin Xia's strength wasn't bad; they were two good sparring partners.
"So, Sister Lin Xia, out of these four Martial Arts we are currently cultivating, which one are you planning to choose?"
Lin Yun spread out the three Martial Arts manuals in his hand and asked.
Lin Xia stared blankly at the six Martial Arts manuals of the two of them. She no longer wanted to complain about these two abnormal younger brothers. Cultivating three Martial Arts simultaneously, and they were all Grade 3, was simply insane.
Before, when cultivating the Grade 2 Martial Art, Spirit Sword Finger, it had taken her a long time to successfully cultivate it.
Now, cultivating a Grade 3 Martial Art, she didn't have much confidence.
These two guys simultaneously chose three manuals and looked so confident.
Was this the gap between geniuses and ordinary people?!
Although Lin Xia was a girl, she had a strong personality and didn't want to be too far behind her two younger brothers.
"I'll take a middle ground and choose the ones you two have in common, Flowing Wind Movement Technique and Mystic Gate Seal," Lin Xia said straightforwardly.
She wasn't going to dwell on why the two of them would choose a fragmented Martial Art like Mystic Gate Seal. The thoughts of geniuses were something ordinary people couldn't understand. Anyway, however the two of them cultivated it, she would just learn that way.
