[Panlong] Genius VS Genius

"It's on the last floor of the last bookshelf together with the books I often read." Dealian mused, "The strange thing is, I don't remember reading the book of battle qi on the bottom floor before. Looking back, the book just kind of knew you needed it, and it was there automatically."

"Hearing you say that, it's as if someone secretly put it in after knowing that I'm interested in fighting qi." Dixie said coldly.

"The study in our family mansion is not so easy to enter." Dai Ya said seriously.

"It's not easy, but someone's going to get in, isn't it?" Dixie said.

"If that's really the case..." Dea Ryan's face turned pale, and he asked, "Has that Dou Qi secret book affected you?"

"Except for the rapid increase in strength, there is no other impact." Dixie said indifferently.

"If someone else put it in, it would definitely not benefit our Ryan family. Now it seems that the secret book is probably put there when your fifth uncle was cleaning up the study." Dea Ryan obviously relaxed Take a breath.

The study room of the family mansion not only contains the genealogy, but also the thousands of years of history of the Magnolia Continent. There are also special records covering the appearance, name and strength of most of the peak powerhouses, as well as some secrets of the Ryan family.Therefore, the study of the Ryan family cannot be cleaned by domestic servants. It is usually taken care of by people who are extremely trusted by the patriarch. Now it is Dixie's fifth uncle and several family elders who are taking care of the study.

"Hopefully," Dixie said.

If someone really put that book in the study, it means that the Ryan family has a very powerful enemy or friend.

The only one he wants to destroy or help is Dixie Lane of the Lane family.

"In the future, don't just focus on cultivation in the academy. It is always beneficial to have more contact with those friends. If you cannot become a disciple of the high priest, a strong network can help you a lot at that time." Dai Ya persuaded.

"I will become the high priest's direct disciple." Dixie said to himself, "As for things like contacts, I'm not interested."

"Really? Then you have to be careful about next year's class of students." Dai Ya said, "There are rumors that there is a child who is as talented as you."

"Talent does not equal strength." Dixie said coldly.

"Dixie, sooner or later you will suffer from being arrogant." Dea said.

"If I remember correctly, it was you who told me that apart from the royal family, the Ryan family would not be afraid of any family in the Yulan Empire. It was you who instilled in me the idea that the Ryan family was born noble when I was young. All of this The instigator is you, father." Dixie continued, "Of course, I deeply remember what you said, pride is built on the supremacy of one's strength. The same is true of being arrogant."

Looking at the Ernst Academy where there are so many talented people, it is only Linley who really catches Dixie's eyes.

"Since I said so, I hope to hear good news about you becoming the high priest's direct disciple in the future." Dea Ryan smiled slightly.

Aloof, defiant, and proud, his son was the same Dixie he was before Ernst Academy!

A son who makes him proud, and will also make the entire Ryan family proud!

"Yes, father," Dixie replied.

Before going out, Dea Lane turned around and said, "Although I will be very happy to see you practicing, but during the period of living here, please spend good time with Delia and me."

"I will, father."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he took out the golden egg hanging on his chest from the small cylindrical bag and placed it beside the pillow. Dixie changed into her pajamas and started a night's sleep.

Rewind time to ten days ago...

The sun in late August is like a big fireball that keeps heating up, and it is terribly hot.After eating lunch with Yale, George, and Lei Nuo, Linley took Beibei and walked towards his hometown, Wushan Town.Carrying a magic beast crystal nucleus worth [-] gold coins, Linley was only satisfied.

"Zhizhi~~" Beibei stood on Linley's shoulder and shouted joyfully.

Seeing Beibei's excited look, Linley also laughed, and asked through soul communication: "You are also very happy to be able to go back to Wushan Town? By the way, Beibei, I keep asking you, why did you stay in my abandoned ancestral home?" Where is the house?"

"I don't know." Beibei shook her head helplessly, "I just heard a voice saying, 'Stay here, don't run around'."

Stay here, don't run around.

It seems to be the message left by Beibei's parents.

"From the very beginning, I stayed there and ate rocks. I followed that voice and dared not leave your ancestral house. The first meat I ate was the hare you gave me, boss. Boss, you are the best to me in this world, and I will always Don't leave the boss." Beibei wrinkled her nose.

Hearing what Beibei said, Linley also remembered the scene when he was about to leave.

Beibei bit his trouser leg and yelled non-stop, not letting him leave, only biting Linley when he couldn't stop him, and concluded the contract.

Silly Beibei actually betrayed the voice that had been followed for many years for him.

"Okay, Beibei, we will always be together." Linley patted Beibei's head affectionately, and the little guy immediately narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Moving forward at a speed of twenty miles per hour, Linley finally arrived at Wushan Town in the evening.From afar, he saw Uncle Hillman standing with his chest puffed up among a group of children, supervising their strides.

"Back then, I also cultivated like this." Lin Lei suddenly felt emotional.

"Linley?" Seeing Linley from afar, Hillman ran over and gave Linley a bear hug, "Let's go home first, Lord Hogg will be very happy to see you. Hey, you have a bulging back." What is it?"

Linley said mysteriously, "The gift is for my father."

In the courtyard of Baruch's mansion, Hogg was lying on a chair and flipping through a book.

The maid came over and said respectfully, "Master Hogg, dinner is ready."

Hogg closed the book and nodded to the only maid of the Baruch family.After the butler Ciri took little Wharton to the O'Brien Empire, Hogg, who lived alone at home, had no choice but to grit his teeth and hire a maid. After all, as the patriarch of the Dragon Blood Warrior family, he couldn't work by himself.

Facing the not-so-rich dinner, Hogg sighed.If those nobles knew that his son was a genius magician from Ernst College and were willing to lend him gold coins, his life would be even more difficult than this.

"According to the current tax rate in Wushan Town, the gold coins in his hand can barely meet the kingdom's tax revenue and the salary of the guards." Hogg felt aggrieved when he thought about it. When the family passed down to his generation, most of the gold coins that could be sold were sold out.

fortunately……

He Hogg had two sons, two wonderful sons.

One is a genius magician from Ernst Academy, and the other is a dragon blood warrior who entered O'Brien Warrior Academy.

"Linley is now a fifth-level magician, and he will graduate soon. Then the family can be handed over to him, and I can do what I have always wanted to do."

Hogg got up and walked towards the living room, when suddenly——

"Lord Hogg, Lord Hogg!" Hillman started shouting before entering the door.

Hogg looked at the door suspiciously, and it was Linley who hadn't been home for a long time who came in.

"Linley, it's great that you're back, what a surprise!" Hogg happily embraced Linley, who had grown into a robust young man, and walked towards the living room together.

"Agatha, please prepare a richer dinner." Hogg patted Linley's shoulder affectionately, "My boy, you are almost as tall as me! By the way, you usually only come back at the end of the year. How about this time?"

Linley smiled mysteriously: "Father, I will tell you after dinner."

Hogg purposely kept his face straight, and said, "So mysterious?"

Hillman smiled and said, "Lord Hogg, you can just satisfy Linley's wish. He probably wants to surprise you! That is a mysterious gift that we don't even know about!"

"Uncle Hillman." Linley frowned and looked at Hillman.

"Okay, I won't say it, I won't mention it again." Hillman laughed loudly.

As night fell, the living room of Baruch's house was brightly illuminated by a few candles. Only when he and his father were left in the living room did Linley put the package he had been carrying on the table.

"This is?" Hogg asked suspiciously.

"Open it later." Linley got up and closed the door of the living room. Hogg couldn't help laughing, "Why are you so mysterious?"

After opening the bag, Hogg realized why Linley was so cautious——

This bag is full, full of brightly colored and colorful Warcraft crystal nuclei.Hogg looked at the thing that dazzled his eyes in surprise, he had never seen so many magic crystal nuclei in his life.

"Is this the magic crystal nucleus?" Hogg stared wide-eyed, looked at Linley in surprise, and swallowed with difficulty.With so many magic crystal nuclei, it is really shocking.

Linley nodded and said, "Yes, this bag is almost full of magic crystal cores. According to the description in the book, these magic crystal cores are worth at least 9 gold coins."

"More than 9 gold coins?" Hogg felt his heart twitch.

Today's Baruch family has to find someone to borrow even 500 gold coins, and more than 9 gold coins are enough to sustain the Baruch family for a hundred years.

Looking at the colorful magic crystal nucleus in front of him, Hogg finally calmed down after taking several deep breaths.

"Linley, where did these magic crystal nuclei come from?" Hogg immediately understood, "You, you went to the Warcraft Mountains!"

Linley nodded: "Yes, Father."

"You, you..." Hogg was a little annoyed, "The Warcraft Mountain Range is the most dangerous place in the Yulan Continent. You actually went to the Warcraft Mountain Range without consulting your family. Do you know that everything is dangerous there?"

Hogg then laughed at himself, since he had already been there, of course Linley knew how dangerous it was.

Looking at the silent Linley, Hogg said helplessly, "Linley, it's not that my father wants to scold you. You must know that you are now a genius magician of Ernst College, and your achievements will be limitless in the future. The burden of our Baruch family is It will fall on your shoulders. After all, your younger brother is still young, and I don’t know how long it will be before he becomes a real dragon blood warrior. You shoulder my hope, the hope of our Baruch family, so you can’t put your Life is a trifling matter. [Original text]”

"Lei, take off your shirt and let me see if you are injured." Hogg ordered.

"Father..." Others didn't know, but Linley knew how many scars there were under the clothes.Show father those almost fatal scars?He absolutely does not want to!

"Take it off!"

Ignoring Linley's hesitation, Hogg continued to order.

Linley could only obediently take off his shirt, and all those scars were immediately exposed.They staggered to make up for Linley's chest, abdomen, and back, and Hogg's heart trembled as he watched.

"Father, I'm fine." Seeing his father's face turning pale, Linley immediately comforted him.

Looking at the pile of magic crystal nuclei next to him representing huge wealth, and looking at the terrifying scars on Linley's body like roots, Hogg felt that he was so useless for the first time.

He hates it!

He hates his uselessness!

Taking a deep breath, Hogg looked up to the sky and was speechless. After a while, he slowly said: "Linley, you are tired after a long day's journey, go to rest early."

"Yes, father."

Linley left quietly, leaving only Hogg sitting quietly in the candlelit living room...

After that night, Linley felt that his father had changed a lot, he seemed very energetic.At his father's request, Linley lived in Wushan Town for another ten days. He still stayed at home until Ernst College started the second half of the semester.During these ten days, Linley lived happily, and the relationship between father and son had never been so harmonious.

Until the moment before Linley set off to return to Ernst College, he was thinking about what caused his father to change to this point.

Is it those Warcraft crystal nuclei, or his own scars?

After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, after bidding farewell to his father, Linley set off for Ernst College.

Watching his son leave, Hogg made a decision. To be precise, he made this decision the second day after Linley came back!

There is one thing that must be done immediately!

On the evening of September [-]th, Linley, who had just returned to Finlay City, came to Ganmo Road, downstairs of Alice's house, alone.

Looking up at the empty balcony, Linley felt disappointed.It has been more than a month since the two of them talked heart-to-heart last time, and before he knew it, he actually began to miss the girl who was sitting side by side with him on the balcony.

"Hey, what are you doing?" the middle-aged man at Alice's house shouted at Linley.

Linley smiled and asked, "Hi, I'm from Wellington Academy of Witchcraft and Magic. I'm good friends with Alice. Is she still at home now?"

"Oh, Miss Alice returned to the Academy of Magic three days ago." The middle-aged man laughed.

"I see, thank you." Linley said politely.

Linley turned around and walked along Ganmo Road towards Ernst College, but when he reached the end of Ganmo Road, he looked back at the balcony, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

On the street leading to Ernst College, a white streamer flew out from the coiled dragon ring, and Grandpa Delin appeared beside Linley.

"What, fell in love with Alice?" Delin Cowart looked at Linley with a smile.

"A little bit." Linley didn't deny it.

Delin Cowart stroked his white beard, laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be attracted to girls, but you two are not in the same magic academy, and the two places are separated, so it's hard to make progress in your relationship."

"I know, just let it go, if there is a result, there will be a result, if not, then forget it." The scene with Alice could not help but appear in Linley's mind.

It looked like it was panicking under the bloodthirsty war pig for the first time.

On the way back from the Warcraft Mountains, Alice looked shy when the two were talking.

There is also a moving appearance like a moonlight elf under the moonlight.

……

"Is this the first love?" Linley laughed at himself. At his age, the five brothers would often talk about girls when they were in the dormitory. Even Yale and Lei Nuo already had girlfriends.

Regarding the relationship, Linley also had a certain expectation in his heart.
