Crazy involution in male-oriented novels, my senior brother has set his sights on me

Master, do you still have mines?

This was the first thought that came to Lin Hao's mind. He didn't expect his master to be so secretive. He was usually stingy and had never been generous except when buying wine. He didn't expect that he was a hidden rich man!

Or the kind that has a mine at home!

But when Lin Hao recovered from his injuries and arrived at the mine with his master, his excited expression turned into something indescribable.

"Master, this seems to be the mine of Xuanling Sect."

The eldest son nodded as if it was a matter of course, "Yes, I know. What else? You don't think I have a mine, do you?"

Lin Hao: “…” He was overthinking.

Not far away, the disciples of Xuanling Sect who were mining saw the two of them discussing.

"Why did this Nanyou Immortal Venerable bring his disciple here again?"

"It's true. Every time he accepts a disciple, he comes here once. It has almost become a must for Nanyou Xianzun."

"Not really? Have you seen his eldest disciple?"

"It seems there really isn't any. Who cares? Let's dig our own."

"It was the same last time. Although Nanyou Xianzun's disciple helped dig a lot of ore, the price was really high. It was the material for forging a whole sword!"

"Who says it's not? They took away the best quality ore. But I have to admit that each of their apprentices is very efficient. One person can mine in one year what an ordinary person can only mine in two or three years."

"Forget it, why should we worry about it? Didn't you see that the Sect Master turned a blind eye and acquiesced to the shameless behavior of Nanyou Xianzun?"

"That's right. Forget it, let's dig quickly. This mine is really hard to dig. If I had known this would happen, I would not have accepted this sect mission."

The few people spoke in low voices, but the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Lin Hao still heard them.

Lin Hao: “…”

Isn't this how all my senior brothers and sisters got their natal magic weapons?

Zhang Ziqing didn't care about the disciples' comments. He pointed to the mountains in front of him and said, "The next part of your training is to use your hands to dig for the materials needed to forge your life-defining magic weapon. Remember, you must dig for the finest ore in the center. That's your reward. If you take something worthless, you'll lose money. It's like you've been digging ore for a year for nothing."

Lin Hao was speechless at this moment.

Just let me earn money to forge swords by myself and tell me directly, why bother to find such far-fetched reasons!

No matter how much Lin Hao complained in his heart, he still followed the training instructions assigned by his master.

Chang Ziqing obviously also knew Lin Hao's character. Seeing that he went to mine obediently, Chang Ziqing left with peace of mind.

Fortunately, the person in front of him was not Ye Zhiling, otherwise, he would probably stare at him all the time.

Apart from eating, Ye Zhiling's most studied thing was probably how to be lazy. She relied on her high talent, dual spiritual roots, and the blessing of natural divine power. Her talent was obviously not inferior to that of her eldest disciple, but she just didn't know how to work hard and just wanted to be lazy every day.

If it weren't for the eldest son Qing who forced Xiao Lingdang to practice hard for several years, she would probably have been surpassed by her young disciple.

Thinking of those years, Chang Ziqing felt bad. Ye Zhiling's little attention was all on him. Every day, like a guerrilla war, Ye Zhiling used thirty-six strategies to be lazy, and he was extremely alert to see if she was lazy.

Compared with now, what a miserable life I had lived in those years! Chang Ziqing wanted to shed a tear of sympathy for himself.

After leaving the mine, Zhang Ziqing came to Xuanlingmen.

Sitting at the main seat, Lie Yan looked at his wife, who was pouring tea, with a gentle look. Lie Yan's wife had a gentle appearance, which formed a sharp contrast with the tall and rough Lie Yan.

The eldest son Qing, who was watching from the side, was amazed.

"Just take your apprentice to dig for whatever mine you want. This isn't your first time here anyway."

Because his wife was present, Lie Yan did not care about Chang Ziqing's behavior. He did not speak as angrily as usual, and although he was not very gentle, he was much calmer.

Zhang Ziqing waved his hand and said, "Do you need to tell me that? My apprentice is digging there! I'm not here for the ore this time."

Why does this self-evident tone sound so annoying?

Under normal circumstances, Lie Yan would have gone up to fight with Zhang Ziqing, but now he looked at his wife beside him...

Forget it, I'll fight this guy next time. I suppressed my temper and asked, "What else are you doing here?"

Hearing Lie Yan's question, Zhang Ziqing placed the cloth bag that he had prepared long ago in front of Lie Yan.

"Please repair this sword."

When Lie Yan saw Zhang Ziqing being so secretive, he thought something big was going on. But when he saw that he just wanted him to repair a sword, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As he untied the bag, he said, "I thought it was something else, but it turns out..."

The rest of the words got stuck in Lie Yan's throat, and he fell silent as he looked at the sword in front of him that was broken into pieces.

He asked tentatively: "Is this a puzzle? Where's the sword?"

The eldest son Qing touched his nose guiltily, "This is the sword I want you to repair."

Lie Yan: “…”Are you kidding me?

Lie Yan picked up the pile of broken pieces and pieced them together, and it turned out to be a sword!

He raised his head and looked at Chang Ziqing, "What did you do with this sword?"

No matter how thick-skinned Chang Ziqing was, he felt embarrassed and turned his head away, not daring to look at Lie Yan.

"That's right... My apprentice just used it to fight a monster, and then... I don't know how the sword broke..."

"Did you say a word wrong? Are you sure it's a demon beast and not a divine beast?"

If it was just a monster, how could it be shattered so completely? This sword is at least a low-level spiritual weapon.

"It was just an accident."

Zhang Ziqing couldn't say that the sword was shattered by the unknown power of his little apprentice, right? Although there was a reason that there were already cracks on the sword before it was shattered.

But considering the special nature of Lin Hao's chaotic spiritual roots, Zhang Ziqing kept his mouth shut.

"I don't care whether it's an accident or not! Why don't you just let me reforge a sword for you since it's broken like this?" Lie Yan said sarcastically.

"That's great." Zhang Ziqing's shamelessness was brought to its extreme at this moment.

"What a fart!"

Lie Yan could no longer suppress his temper and slammed his palm on the table, causing the teacup on the table to fall to the ground and break into pieces.

But he still took his wife's presence into consideration and controlled his strength, so the table was not broken in half.

How could the eldest son Qing be frightened by such a scene? He ignored Lie Yan's rage and instead cast his eyes on Madam Lie who was sitting quietly beside him.

"Sister-in-law, have you not heard about Lie Yan's youth? Let me tell you about it."

Lie Yan: “!!!”

Mrs. Lie not only looks gentle, but also speaks in a soft voice, which is very comfortable to listen to. "What's the matter with Ah Yan?"

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, when he was young, he pursued..."

Before Chang Ziqing finished speaking, Lie Yan, who had already guessed what he was going to say, interrupted him hurriedly.

"Oh! It's not a big deal! Isn't it just a broken sword? I can fix it!"

"Don't you think it's too fragmented?" The eldest son Qing had the overall situation under control and calmly drank the tea in front of him.

Tsk! Wine is still delicious.

"How could that be?" Lie Yan squeezed out the last sentence from between his teeth.

Zhang Ziqing ignored Lie Yan's murderous gaze and said with a smile, "In that case, I will go back first. I will come back to bother you in a year when my apprentice has finished mining the ore."

Lie Yan: “…” Why did I attract this unlucky thing?

What sins did I commit in my previous life?
