Chapter 77

【Age 0: You are born in the Wu'an Lord's mansion and named Qi Lin.

Thieves break into the mansion to seize the Immortal's finger bone; twelve great black-clad assassins from the Three-Color Pavilion strike, your father the Wu'an Lord dies in battle, and the Wu'an Lord's mansion is destroyed.

You are thrown into the river by a maid and picked up by an Old Blind Man.】

【Age 1: The Old Blind Man often visits brothels, claiming it is to find milk for you, and you do indeed get to drink plenty of milk—different varieties, different types, and different flavors.】

【Age 2: An unremarkable year; you are already able to walk.】

【Age 3: The Old Blind Man moves your residence ten times with you.】

【Age 4: You begin to learn to read and write, and the Old Blind Man never visits brothels again.

One night, you hear the Old Blind Man cursing loudly: "Those dog-begotten Three-Color Pavilion bastards, not doing their proper jobs, even opening brothels now."】

【Age 5: You begin to practice horse stance, and the Old Blind Man goes to the mountains every day to hunt wild game for you to eat.】

【Age 6: Your physique is strong, and you are already able to defeat adults.

The Old Blind Man leaves for a trip and returns a month later with a pale complexion.

You often hear the Old Blind Man coughing at night, coughing up blood and even internal organs.

You can also hear his occasional angry curses: "You bitch, I should have fucked you to death back then."】

【Age 7: The Old Blind Man tells you about your life background and tells you not to seek revenge.】

【Age 8: The Old Blind Man explains the martial arts factions and the classification of Martial Arts realms to you.

Experts in the pugilistic world are ranked from Seventh Grade to First Grade, with First Grade being the strongest.

Above First Grade, there are Martial Arts Grandmasters.】

【Age 9: The Old Blind Man takes you to change residences many more times.】

【Age 10: The Old Blind Man teaches you his Unique Skill, the Gold Cloud Sword; he says that this sword technique should not be shown to others lightly, or it will bring you misfortune.】

【Age 11: The Old Blind Man poses as a Daoist and goes with you to perform services for weddings and funerals, saving up some money; the Old Blind Man buys himself a Gold sandalwood coffin.

The Old Blind Man says, "You have learned how to perform rituals; if I die in the future, you can perform the rituals for me, which will save the money for hiring someone."

"The money for one ritual is enough to go to a brothel several times."】

【Age 12: On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Old Blind Man goes to a brothel again.

On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, the Old Blind Man says many things to you.

He says, "In the future, if you see a woman with a tear mole under her eyebrow and a Fenglan-shaped birthmark above her lower abdomen, give this brocade pouch to her."

The Old Blind Man also says that he is actually a Fenglan person, and all of Fenglan are people abandoned by Heaven.

After saying these things, you, who never touch alcohol, accompany the Old Blind Man in drinking a jar of wine.

The Old Blind Man looks at you and curses angrily: "You little brat, don't you dare sell my Gold sandalwood coffin while I'm drunk."】

You say to the Old Blind Man, "I have great skills; I don't have my eyes on your Gold sandalwood coffin."

The Old Blind Man does not believe you, so you say to the Old Blind Man, "I'll show you a trick: I'll step on my right foot with my left, then my left foot with my right, and go straight to the sky."

The Old Blind Man curses you angrily for teasing him.

As a result, you really do step on your right foot with your left, then your left foot with your right, and ascend thirty meters into the air.

The Old Blind Man is dumbfounded, a look of unprecedented brilliance appearing in his eyes.

He shouts: "Qi Mu, you must fuck that stinking bitch Su Yunqiong to death!"】

On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, Lin Chao wakes up.

"Old Blind Man?" he calls out.

The Old Blind Man does not respond at all.

Lin Chao's nose feels a bit sour and hot.

"I've already made an agreement with Li Lao Er to sell your precious coffin; he'll be here soon."

The Old Blind Man still has no reaction.

Lin Chao calms his emotions and holds the Old Blind Man's cold body.

Half a day later, Lin Chao places the Old Blind Man into the Gold sandalwood coffin.

This time, he hires monks and Daoists, and even takes action himself to perform the rituals for the Old Blind Man.

The night is deep, and Lin Chao is still before the grave.

"Old Blind Man, now that you're gone, I suppose I have no home, right?"

Lin Chao drinks the inferior yellow wine; it is bitter and astringent, and lacks potency.

However, this is the very wine the Old Blind Man loved to drink, needing to drink two taels a day.

He never drank an extra mouthful because he had no money.

"Old Blind Man, your revenge, and the revenge for my family, I will take them all."

Lin Chao's gaze is firm.

He was reborn into this world; although he was an infant, he remembers the events of that time with absolute clarity.

Unfortunately, he was only an Ordinary infant, and he had no way to deal with the tragedy of his family's destruction.

However, things are different now.

A trace of killing intent appears in Lin Chao's eyes.

He has a talent: he is an ancient martial artist.

This talent is extremely powerful; as of now, his strength has already surpassed First Grade.

Above First Grade is the Grandmaster.

Above the Grandmaster is the Great Grandmaster.

At this moment, Lin Chao had remarkably broken through to become a Great Grandmaster last night.

A twelve-year-old Great Grandmaster is a terrifying thing to hear of.

In this world, there exist powerhouses who are Grandmasters.

However, Grandmaster powerhouses are as rare as phoenix feathers and Qi Lin horns; you couldn't find even a few in the entire Dayan, and which Grandmaster powerhouse isn't at least sixty years old?

"It's a pity my talent doesn't include medical arts," Lin Chao sighed.

However, he knew that the Old Blind Man had actually long since harbored a will to die.

With his heart already dead, even if his wounds were healed, he wouldn't live for long.

Drinking yellow wine, Lin Chao felt a complex mix of emotions inside.

"Without family, how can one call it a home?"

The direction of his reincarnation this time was home.

As a result, just after reincarnating here, his entire family was dead.

At first, Lin Chao still felt some self-reproach.

After all, just like in a certain manga from his past life, whenever the protagonist arrived at a certain place, people in that place would die.

But later, Lin Chao thought it through.

It was not because of his reincarnation that these people died.

Rather, it was he who had reincarnated into this family.

If he hadn't reincarnated here, this family might have died in vain.

Now that he was here, his parents, whom he had never met, could not have died in vain.

"Now, it's time to go earn some money; otherwise, I won't even be able to scrape together the travel expenses to find my enemies."

Lin Chao looked at the grave before him and kowtowed three times.

"Foster father, I will help you fulfill your wish!"

Over these years, Lin Chao had also made quite a few guesses about his foster father's identity.

His foster father was actually a killer from the Three-Color Pavilion, the number one killer organization in the world.

And he was no ordinary killer.

In the Three-Color Pavilion, killers were divided into three ranks.

They were the White-Edged Killer, the Green-Edged Killer, and the Black-Edged Killer.

Black-Edged Killers could even kill First-Grade Experts.

Above the Black-Edged Killers, there was another type of killer: the Gold-Edged Killer.

The Old Blind Man was a Gold-Edged Killer, but for some reason, the Old Blind Man had defected.

According to Lin Chao's guess, it had to do with Su Yunqiong, and also with a woman.

He remembered the name Su Yunqiong.

The most noble woman in this Great Yan Dynasty.

Yet in the Old Blind Man's words, Su Yunqiong was a lowly woman.

"Alright, time to go earn travel expenses."

A sharp glint appeared in Lin Chao's eyes.

What is the fastest way to earn money? And without too much psychological guilt?

That would naturally be taking out high-interest loans and not paying them back.

Or, dog-eat-dog.

Lin Chao's figure sank into the darkness.

Home, we'll talk about that later.

Family, we'll talk about that later.

First, get the revenge.

【12 years old: After the Old Blind Man died, you began to act with chivalry, specializing in killing mountain bandits and robbers, and you quickly accumulated your first pot of gold in life.】
