“Yeah,” Lin Yi nodded, patting Linghu Feng on the shoulder as if talking to his younger brother. “Remember my words? In this world everything depends on strength! Therefore, study the Nine Lonely Swords as quickly and deeply as possible. Become a supreme master as quickly as you can, only then will you be able to protect those you care about and the entire native sect. Do it for yourself, for the sake of your comrades, and for the sake of hundreds of thousands of Huashan students.”
Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder again and walked away..
Looking at the teenager's back, Linghu Feng couldn't suppress his admiration. He looked after him for a long time, thinking, and finally sighed heavily.:
“Big Brother Lin, I admit, you are better than me.”
When he held the book tightly in his hands, his entire aura seemed to change, like a sharpened blade..
“But Huashan does not belong to you, Big Brother Lin, you cannot hold it alone. I, Linghu Feng, may not be so talented, but as long as the sword is in my hands, the enemies will not pass me by! I will share this heavy burden with you!”
With a thin whistle, the blade left the sheath again.
A large cobblestone standing nearby split in half. The cut was smooth as the surface of a mirror.
“Big brother, big brother!”
Hearing his younger sister's voice, Linghu Feng turned around and saw Liang Rulu running towards him with a worried face..Seeing the cut cobblestone and the angry face of her older brother, she asked with excitement:
“Did Lin Yi bother you again? Hmph. I knew it! As soon as he seized power, he immediately began to cause problems. Damn him! A few days as the main disciple, and already he dares to mock you! You can’t do that, brother, you have to fight! We won't let him do whatever he wants.!”
Linghu Feng didn’t have time to get a word in, but when she turned around and was about to run to complain to the elders, he grabbed her hand. However, even after that she immediately growled:
“Big brother, you are too kind! I'm right now–”
“Look at that!” Feng shouted, raising the book in front of him.
Her eyes widened and her pupils shrank into dots. Covering her mouth with her hand, she mumbled:
“This... this is the same...”
“That's it! This is from Big Brother Lin.”
“B- but... but how?..” she muttered, refusing to believe and trying to understand how Lin Yi benefited from this. “I don’t believe it! Is this some kind of trick!”
Feng shook his head:
“Little sister, you should call him big brother Lin from now on. Or at least just an older brother. This order is not from him, it is from me! Because Senior Brother Lin is a good person and the first person I admire in this life. I have never had an idol before, but I admire his strategic mind, his talent, his kindness, his sword skill... I admire everything he can do, because he is superior to me in everything!”
But admiration suddenly gave way to anger and he added:
“If you hate him, that's okay. At times, I hate it too. He is too much superior to us and knows it. If he decides something, then without asking anyone, he first does it and then apologizes. He beat you, and it was I who felt that I should apologize! You have no idea how much I hate and how much I admire him for this!”
Liang Rulu opened her mouth wide in surprise. Little did she know that her older brother admired this bastard. When he spoke about the beating, it caused her to smile involuntarily, but as soon as she remembered those shameful slaps in the face, her whole face turned red. Gritting her teeth, Zhulu nodded:
“Yes, it's true. Lin Yi... brother Lin Yi has something to hate for!”

At the top of Hua, behind the main palace, there were thirteen more. They belonged to the great elders and were divided into factions.
The territory of the Linghu and Yu palaces looked the most rich and powerful. Great Elder Linghu was the strongest of them all, but Great Elder Yu was not far behind.
They fought each other every day of their lives, even climbing to the top of Huashan together, shoulder to shoulder. Ouyang Ming turned out to be only slightly stronger than them, which allowed him to become first the main disciple, and later the sect master.
However, they did not consider him a winner. While he was busy with paperwork and management, they had time to deal with the real issues: namely, fighting for power and resources within Huashan, seizing more and more for their family every year.
In Grand Elder Yu's palace, a young man, Yu Zecheng, knelt in front of the throne and waited for permission to speak..
“So, Lin Yi has agreed to our support?” asked the elder with a slight hint of joy in his voice.
Zecheng nodded:
“Yes. Elder Brother Lin also asked me to convey a message: he thanks you and the entire Yu family for your support!”
The elder nodded and waved his hand:
“You've worked hard, you can rest.”
“Yeah.”
Zecheng bowed and left.
As soon as he disappeared through the doorway, two men in purple and gold robes entered from another room. They were also great elders, Huo and Li, fifth and ninth in strength.
“Big Brother Yu,” they greeted, bowing.
“Junior Brother Huo, Junior Brother Li,” Elder Yu smiled at them. He motioned for him to sit down and laughed: “This little guy, Lin Yi, is quite an interesting guy. He immediately realized whose side was strong and joined us. Haha, old man Linghu won't interfere with us anymore!”
Both Junior Great Elders looked at each other and congratulated him with smiles.:
“This great victory came to us thanks to you, Big Brother Yu.!”
“Haha!” he laughed, smiling smugly. “Old Man Linghu now probably can’t find a place for himself out of anger! Lin Yi will cut off these parasites from Huashan. Ha! Did you see how he turned blue when Lin Yi won? Yeah, every time I remember I start laughing!”
“Elder Brother Yu, but this Lin Yi is a heavenly talent,” Elder Li noted with alarm. “We can definitely control it?”
Elder Huo nodded in agreement..
Yu waved his hand dismissively:
“Genius, so what? He's just a kid who doesn't know shit. Throw him a couple of bones and he’ll come running like a darling, and won’t even realize that he’s being used. Nothing. Three days later, old man Linghu finds out where the crayfish spend the winter. And this young fool would not have achieved anything without our support, and will not achieve anything. Let's show him this and he will obey like a faithful dog..”
“You are right, Senior Brother Yu,” both men agreed. “You thought of everything ahead..”
“Of course! But now the three of us have a lot of work to do. I can't defeat old man Linghu alone. With the support of the main student, he will definitely end!”
He laughed and put his hands on his younger brothers' shoulders.
All three of them were still shaking slightly. When Linghu Feng revealed the will of the sword, they thought they were finished. Who knew that Lin Yi also opened it, and even earlier! They never expected this!
With a sparkle in his eyes, Grand Elder Yu said:
“Wait three days. Just three days and I will kill old man Linghu once and for all.!”
The three old experts laughed, even the wrinkles on their faces seemed to smooth out.
.˙.
Three days flew by in one moment.
Lin Yi, with the help of the maids, put on the purple robe of the chief disciple, pulled on the boots of the chief disciple, put the emblem of the chief disciple in his belt, and hung the sword of the chief disciple on his belt..
Going outside, he went to the palace, built especially for the meetings convened by the chief disciple. This building had been idle for many decades, but the servants cleaned it up so well that it looked new..
The preparations are over. The first day as chief student began.
