But this did not stop the servants Lin Yao had previously ordered from wanting to bully Lin Xuan themselves.
After all, Lin Yao had grown tired of it, but they had not.
The servant in front of Fang Ming was one of them.
Therefore, he claimed to be Lin Yao's subordinate, attempting to use this status to threaten Fang Ming.
And this threat, to be honest, according to Lin Xuan's memories, was quite potent and not an empty one.
Fang Ming knew from Lin Xuan's memories that given Lin Yao's personality, even if he was tired of it, he would likely not feel tired anymore if Lin Xuan truly slapped his subordinate's face.
After all, not actively seeking trouble and seeking trouble after one's subordinate is slapped are clearly two different situations.
They could not be treated the same.
However, even though he knew Lin Yao might come looking for trouble.
Fang Ming had no qualms about him.
Therefore, Fang Ming said coldly, "You won't let me off? Heh, then let him come find me."
After that, Fang Ming glanced at him again and said, "However, you might have to lie here in pain for a few days before you can bear the pain to tell him."
As Fang Ming spoke, his ears twitched, and he heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
"Someone's coming? Revenge can't be this fast, can it?"
Fang Ming thought to himself.
At this moment, all the servants who had come to cause trouble were already lying on the ground, and there should be no one to report back.
Naturally, there would be no retaliation.
At this moment, a figure entered the dilapidated courtyard.
As soon as Fang Ming saw the figure and recalled Lin Xuan's memories.
He had a sudden realization.
"So it's her, Lin Zhuyu. That's right, her arrival at this time is reasonable."
"At this time, it is indeed only she who can arrive."
Lin Zhuyu was the only friend Lin Xuan, in this body, had had in fourteen years.
Unlike Lin Xuan, who was from the main lineage of the family, Lin Zhuyu was a disciple from a collateral branch of the Lin family.
However, both were unfortunate souls with extremely poor aptitude. If Lin Xuan was practically a cripple who could not cultivate, then Lin Zhuyu was only slightly better than a cripple.
Therefore, both were oppressed by the clan. In this process, their shared fate forged a deep friendship – after all, they had suffered together.
At this moment, a girl, also around thirteen or fourteen years old, walked in. She wore a simple cloth dress and appeared somewhat frail.
"Brother Xuan, what is this..."
Lin Zhuyu covered her mouth in surprise upon seeing the servants groaning in pain from being beaten.
In her memory, Lin Xuan had not even reached the first layer of Condensing Pulse. How could he have defeated so many people?
Among these servants, there was even Gao Xianwu, who had been stuck at the second layer of Condensing Pulse for a long time and was close to stepping into the third layer.
"What on earth is going on?"
Lin Zhuyu wondered.
She did not understand why the current situation had occurred.
Her mind was filled with various doubts.
Fang Ming had already reacted.
Since she was a friend of his predecessor, he naturally should not refuse her now.
Fang Ming smiled and, mimicking Lin Xuan's tone, said, "Zhuyu, you've come at the right time."
"These servants who usually bully you have been beaten half to death by me. You can go and beat them up to vent your anger."
Fang Ming said this, but Lin Zhuyu's gaze did not fall on the servants.
Instead, she looked at Fang Ming's face with joy.
"Brother Xuan, you can cultivate now?"
Lin Zhuyu said this with great joy.
Clearly, compared to the servants who often bullied her and were now beaten half to death, it was more exciting for her that her only friend now possessed such strength.
Lin Zhuyu knew very well how desperately Lin Xuan had longed to cultivate in his heart. Now, upon sensing Lin Xuan's strength, she was genuinely happy for him.
"That's right, I can cultivate now."
Fang Ming replied to her.
"I've found some new cultivation methods..."
Fang Ming said naturally.
New cultivation methods?
Lin Zhuyu was a little confused by what Fang Ming had said.
Did he mean some secret techniques in cultivation?
Fang Ming directly showed her with his actions.
"Look..."
Fang Ming's gaze fell upon Lin Zhuyu.
In his eyes, it was as if ten thousand years of cold ice manifested.
Freezing the four directions.
Ice over everything.
This was a martial skill in the martial artist world.
In Lin Zhuyu's perception, she suddenly felt Fang Ming's presence becoming colder and colder, eventually resembling a bright moon, high in the sky, looking down on all beings and casting down its radiant light.
Lin Zhuyu was not an enemy.
Therefore, Fang Ming only slightly displayed the martial skill and did not truly unleash it, stopping at the point of demonstration.
After experiencing the martial skill and recovering her senses, Lin Zhuyu asked with surprise and confusion, "Is this a profound technique?"
"This power carries the flavor of a mental technique... mental divine abilities are rare and precious. At least a mid-grade Profound Technique of the Mortal Rank, right?"
Mortal Rank Mid-Grade Profound Technique.
This was the name given in this world to cultivation techniques similar to divine abilities.
Divine abilities had four ranks.
One, Mortal Rank, Two, Spirit Rank, Three, Earth Rank, Four, Heaven Rank.
Above Heaven Rank, it was rumored that there were Immortal Rank divine abilities that only immortals and gods could use, but whether Immortal Rank divine abilities existed in this world was unknown and not worth considering.
Therefore, in the classification of cultivation, divine abilities only had four ranks, not five.
Mortal Rank Mid-Grade Profound Technique was merely Lin Zhuyu's evaluation of the martial skill, having experienced mental martial arts.
Fang Ming had no intention of correcting her.
He merely nodded and said, "Probably. I obtained this inheritance, and I don't actually know its rank. There's no introduction... but based on my experience, it should indeed be Mortal Rank Mid-Grade."
Mortal Rank Profound Technique.
Although it seemed to be the lowest among the four ranks, in reality, the entire Lin family did not possess even a single Earth Rank profound technique. Spirit Rank profound techniques were already extremely precious in the Lin family.
Under these circumstances, a Mortal Rank Mid-Grade profound technique was considered quite good for ordinary Lin family disciples. As for collateral disciples like Lin Zhuyu, they did not even possess a single Mortal Rank Mid-Grade profound technique themselves.
As for Lin Xuan?
The original Lin Xuan, having a father at the Dao Foundation realm, also knew some knowledge about profound techniques. However, these profound techniques belonged to the family and were forbidden by inner demons, so they could not be taught to others casually.
Fang Ming looked at Lin Zhuyu and knew she was the original Lin Xuan's only friend.
With the activation of his world-traveling talent, the original Lin Xuan no longer existed.
Fang Ming felt that some compensation was due for this.
After all, he had occupied another person's body and identity.
And clearly, Lin Xuan was dead, and Fang Ming could no longer compensate him, so he could only compensate Lin Zhuyu.
