In the end, Lin Mengmeng still lost.
Lin Yun also felt a bit sorry to see it.
Late-stage Ming Jin martial artists are not without the ability to defeat martial artists at the pinnacle of Ming Jin.
However, the opponent could reach the pinnacle of Ming Jin at such a young age, and their background is not low either. The martial arts they practice are also not simple.
On the contrary, Lin Mengmeng's martial arts skills were a bit lacking.
Lin Yun knew that Lin Mengmeng was good at flying swords and hidden weapons.
Unfortunately, in this rookie competition, the use of hidden weapons was not allowed.
In addition, Lin Mengmeng, as a woman, was already somewhat behind in terms of physical fitness in various aspects, which led to this defeat.
Without winning the third round, Lin Mengmeng could only be considered one of the top 100.
Lin Mengmeng's martial arts talent can be said to be extremely strong, but in such a rookie competition, she could only manage to place in the top 100. From this, one can see how many martial arts geniuses there are in this rookie competition.
However, it is also because Lin Mengmeng is too young, she is only 21 years old now, and in five years, she will only be 26 years old. Not only can she participate in the rookie competition again, even if she is that young in the rookie competition at that time, she will still be considered young.
Lin Mengmeng lost and stepped off the stage, and some people from Jin Jian Men immediately came up to her.
Among them, Lin Yun saw Lin Mengmeng's father, Lin Yuanshan, whom he had met before.
Lin Yun did not go up to say hello.
After all, his current identity was Lin Yi, not Lin Yun.
Soon, it was Lin Yun's turn to go on stage.
In the third round, Lin Yun once again won without incident and advanced directly to the top 60.
A new round of the resurrection competition began again.
Lin Yun and Zhang Haoran began to rest.
'Lin Yi, look at that Jiang Wei. Haha, he was so scared when he saw you advance to the top 60 in the rematch that he never dared to wink at us again. I just saw his match, and he lost in the third round...' At this time, Zhang Haoran pointed to a young man in the distance, looked at Lin Yun, and laughed.
It was the Jiang Wei who had previously competed with them.
That Jiang Wei had been paying attention to the situation on Lin Yun's side. Zhang Haoran and Lin Yun's laughter and conversation were a bit hard to hear due to the chaos, but he could vaguely guess what they were talking about.
His eyes darted away, and his face kept changing expressions. Eventually, he turned around and left in a dejected manner.
Just as Zhang Haoran said, he was shocked to see Lin Yun advance to the top 60.
This is the top 60 of the rematch, not the top 60 of the preliminary round, which is more valuable than Lin Yun's ranking in the preliminary round, which was in the top 20.
However, this was not what surprised him the most.
It was Lin Yun's opponents...and the speed with which Lin Yun dealt with them...
He paid attention to all three matches.
Lin Yun's luck was neither good nor bad; all three opponents were late-stage Ming Jin martial artists.
However, among these late-stage Ming Jin martial artists, Jiang Wei had heard of the names of two of them, and their strength was not inferior to his at all, and even the strength of one of them surpassed his.
However, Lin Yun still only used a few moves to solve the opponent.
How could Jiang Wei not be shocked that Lin Yun could solve an opponent whose strength surpassed his with just a few moves? How could he not be afraid?
Naturally, he no longer dared to provoke Lin Yun and Zhang Haoran.
The reason was that he was still watching Lin Yun's battles.
He wanted to see if Lin Yun would have an accident in the fight.
For example, get injured?
Or even become disabled?
Or even die from serious injuries?
Such things are not uncommon in rookie competitions.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
In the third round of the competition, Lin Yun still defeated his opponent with just a few moves.
...
In the other direction, Lin Mengmeng looked far over to Lin Yun's side, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
'Mengmeng, what are you looking at?' Lin Yuanshan asked curiously.
As he spoke, he followed Mengmeng's gaze and looked in that direction.
'Father, it's nothing...' Mengmeng forced a smile and hurriedly said.
Thinking about what she had just thought, her heart beat slightly faster.
When she first saw the figure of that person... she thought that it was Lin Yun... Unfortunately, when the other person turned around, she realised that it wasn't...
This made her feel as if she had been thinking about the other person too much.
During this period of time, her family encountered some problems, and she thought several times that if Lin Yun helped her... or if the person she chose... if it was Lin Yun... he could definitely solve their family's problems, and she definitely wouldn't have to be so reluctant.
'Mengmeng, if there are people you don't fancy, Daddy won't force you...' Lin Yuanshan didn't see anything, and he turned to look at Lin Mengmeng, sighed slightly, and said.
Lin Mengmeng's reaction made him think that Lin Mengmeng was distracted by the events of this period of time.
'But what about my brothers? What should we do?' Lin Mengmeng shook her head.
'From the moment they became mercenaries, our family has taken their lives lightly,' Lin Yuanshan mused.
'But it's obvious that it can be fixed. Obviously someone is targeting my brothers. They're just mercenaries abroad, not in the country. Why would they be targeted by the authorities when they come back?' Lin Mengmeng bit her lip and whispered.
Lin Yuanshan was silent.
Why?
He vaguely guessed the reason.
It should be, after all, Qingyun Company.
Lin Yun was the founder of Qingyun Company. At the beginning, when Lin Yun was looking for bodyguards and security guards, he almost exclusively looked for them at Golden Sword Security Company, and never looked at any other security company.
Now, Qingyun Company has had an accident, and it is difficult for their Golden Sword Security Company to escape blame.
The authorities suspect that they have a connection with the forces behind Qingyun Company.
Some people want to use them to find out the forces behind Qingyun Company.
They just want to take down some people in the Lin family who are on the edge of the law...
He guessed that it was still related to the sentence Lin Yun let out:
'Those who offend Qingyun must be punished, even if they are far away.'
Those people, on the one hand, want to use them to find the forces behind Qingyun Company.
On the other hand, they are afraid of angering Lin Yun and causing Lin Yun to bring more people for another massacre.
Therefore, they took down some people in the Lin family who were on the edge of the law, leaving people with nothing to say and unable to guess the official's main objective. Perhaps...there was also a reason to give Lin Yun a way out?
On the surface, the official wasn't targeting the forces behind Qingyun Company?
Asking Lin Yun not to act impulsively and not to take action again?
After all, if Lin Yun did something like that mass killing again...this matter was not a trivial matter for the forces behind Qingyun Company, nor was it something that would definitely not cause any losses.
The Lu and Mo families were a case of the authorities being ill-prepared. At the time, they were unaware of the power behind Qingyun Company. Now, the authorities are aware, and if the power behind Qingyun Company takes action again, it will not necessarily be fine.
Unfortunately, their Lin family has no connection to the power behind Qingyun Company.
What can those people find out?
Presumably, these days, those people have also found out this.
However... this has also added another point of crisis for their Lin family...
The Lin family has no connection with the forces behind Qingyun Company, but their company, Golden Sword Security, did provide bodyguards for Qingyun Company before, and some of those bodyguards even died at the Qingyun Hotel.
If those people bear a grudge against the Lin family and lose the threat of the forces behind Qingyun Company, who can say that they won't do something even more extreme?
No one is perfect. Some forces have developed to a certain extent, and none of them are clean. Their family is a martial arts family that has been passed down for hundreds of years and even owns the Golden Sword Security Company...it is more likely to have problems in various aspects.
If the authorities really continue to target their family, their family simply cannot withstand it.
In this situation, he came up with a solution.
That is, their family find a patron.
Marriage...is the best way to find a patron, and Lin Mengmeng also has the conditions.
If the authorities continue to target their family, they can only say that their family's influence makes the authorities not afraid of them. If their family marries into a powerful family, or even a family with great influence in the authorities, they might be able to easily resolve this matter.
This time, Lin Mengmeng was allowed to participate in the Rookie Competition because Lin Yuanshan had this idea in mind.
Martial arts families and martial arts schools have a natural advantage in terms of various forces.
Many martial arts families and martial arts schools have great influence in the authorities.
If Lin Mengmeng marries the son of such a powerful family...at the very least, Lin Mengmeng's safety should be preserved.
This was Lin Yuanshan's innermost thought, which he did not tell Lin Mengmeng.
The matter involving their family this time was too big.
It had reached the top.
No one knew the thoughts of those at the top.
In case those people did not let the Lin family go, even if Lin Mengmeng was safe, he would have no regrets even if he died.
