Chapter 65: Tempering

  "Lin Hui, how are you here?" Lu Hao asked in surprise as soon as he saw Lin Hui.

  Lu Hao's words immediately attracted the attention of Lu Jian Gong and Wang Jia Wen.

  "Do you two know each other?" Wang Jiawen asked aloud. He was very familiar with Lin Hui, so how did he know Lu Hao?

  "Ah, I see." Lu Hao nodded and said, he really didn't expect Lin Hui to appear here.

  Wang Jia Wen and Lu Jian Gong were playing chess, in the midst of excitement. After asking a few simple questions, they returned to their game. Lin Hui didn't disturb them either, walking over to chat with someone else on his own.

  Lin Hui was shocked, the old man in military uniform just now was actually Lu Hao's grandfather? Lin Hui didn't know Lu Jian Gong, but he knew what kind of person Lu Hao's grandfather was.

  Commander of the Jiangnan Military Region! He is actually the Commander of the Jiangnan Military Region.

  Lin Hui's eyes involuntarily glanced at Lu Jian Gong, who was not far away and was playing chess. Previously, he had never thought that the person standing in front of him earlier was actually Lu Jian Gong. When preparing to deal with the Heng Sheng Group, he already knew about Lu Jian Gong.

  Surprise returned to surprise, but Lin Hui's expression didn't change much on the surface.

  "Lin Hui, I'm asking you and Chen Yanxin what's going on between the two of you?" Lu Hao asked with a sly smile on his face. He had already noticed something unusual about Chen Yanxin's behavior towards Lin Hui when they were in the Imperial City last time. Having known Chen Yanxin for so many years, he wouldn't believe that she would casually bring out just any guy.

  "What's going on?" Lin Hui was taken aback for a moment.

  Lu Hao revealed a speechless expression, "You little brat, stop pretending. How dare you say that you and Yan Xin don't have a special relationship?"

  Looking at Lu Hao's somewhat lewd expression, Lin Hui finally understood what he meant, and his heart was sweating profusely. "Yan Xin and I are just ordinary friends, don't make wild guesses."

  Lu Hao's face immediately revealed a disbelieving expression, "Although your expression looks very real, I still don't believe you."

  Lin Hui said somewhat speechlessly, "I already have a girlfriend, and Wang Lao also knows her, whether you believe it or not is up to you."

  Lu Hao opened his mouth, and finally spoke up, "You and Yan Xin are really just ordinary friends? Are you sure?" He was finally a bit uncertain. But how could this be possible, did this kid not have any interest in Chen Yan Xin? He clearly felt that Chen Yan Xin had good feelings towards Lin Hui.

  Lin Hui shrugged his shoulders, "That's just the way it is."

  "Damn it!" Lu Hao couldn't help but curse, but he didn't know what to say next.

  Just as two people were chatting, the other two had already finished their game and called them over directly.

  "Xiao Hao, go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. It's been a long time since I've written properly." Lu Jiangong said to Lu Hao.

  Lu Hao responded with a sound and went straight to the study. A moment later, Lu Hao took out the thing, looking extra careful.

  Lu Hao had to be careful, if he wasn't careful and messed it up, he would definitely end in tragedy. He was very familiar with his father's temper, although he was so old now, beating and scolding were still very normal things.

  At this time, Lu Jianguo looked at Lin Hui with his eyes, "Before Old Wang praised you for writing well, you are the first among the younger generation to make him say so, but I still don't quite believe it."

  "You'll naturally believe it later, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Lin Hui could write such a good hand." Wang Jiawen said with a smile, in his heart he could only sigh at Lin Hui's high talent, how could ordinary people reach that level at this age?

  Hearing the two people's conversation, Lu Hao suddenly curiously asked Lin Hui, "Your calligraphy is very impressive?"

  Lin Hui smiled and said, "Compared to Wang Lao, I'm far inferior."

  Everything was ready soon.

  "Xiao Hui, you go first." Wang Jiawen said. Lu Jiangong had no desire to take action at all now, and his eyes were also on Lin Hui.

  Lin Hui smiled wryly and didn't push back, but at this moment he suddenly discovered that he didn't have a single thread of tension. To think that the person standing beside him was the commander of the Jiangnan Military Region, someone he had once looked up to. If it were his former self, facing such a figure would have definitely given him some pressure, but now he felt nothing at all.

  With the growth of his strength and the influence of Ling Tian's soul, he had unknowingly elevated his confidence and mental quality to a certain realm.

  Lin Hui did not speak directly and picked up the brush on the table. After a moment of contemplation, Lin Hui began to write.

  At the moment of writing, Lu Jiangong and Wang Jiawen both involuntarily lit up in front of their eyes. The momentum that Lin Hui showed was indeed a general trend, and at this time, the person who wrote seemed to be no longer a young man in his early twenties.

  This time Lin Hui wrote in running script!

  Lin Hui had not even finished writing the first character when Lu Jian Gong's face showed a look of surprise. When Lin Hui finished writing the four big characters "Dragon Flying Phoenix Dancing" and lifted his pen, Lu Jian Gong's face was already filled with shock, as if he couldn't believe it. His two eyes stared fixedly at the four big characters on the paper.

  Wang Jia Wen had already seen it before, but at this moment he was still a little surprised. The four words of Lin Hui were actually improved again compared to last time. Between the four words, there was a kind of grandeur everywhere, majestic and powerful, flowing like clouds and water.

  "What a great character! What a great character!" After a few seconds, Lu Jian Gong finally spoke up, and to this day, his face still showed a hint of incredulity.

  Wang Jiawen's face was filled with a smile, "Old Lu, aren't you a bit unbelievable?" Seeing Lu Jian Gong's expression, Wang Jiawen seemed to be enjoying it very much. After all, he had also been through this before.

  "It's indeed somewhat hard to believe."

  At this time, Lu Hao standing beside him looked at Lin Hui as if he was looking at a monster. Although he didn't understand calligraphy very well, the good or bad of the characters could still be seen. Adding to that the old man's expression and evaluation, he already knew what the result would be. It must be known that the old man himself was a master of calligraphy.

  Can hear the color of the dots, calligraphy is so powerful, it seems that his hands are also very good, what kind of person is this guy?

  Lu Jian Gong kept staring at her like she was some kind of monster, and after a while, Lin Hui couldn't help but feel a little unnatural.

  "When did you start practicing calligraphy?" Lu Jian was extremely curious in his heart. Had this kid been practicing calligraphy since birth?

  "My dad also liked writing, and I started following him from primary school," Lin Hui said thoughtfully. In fact, he had a big question in his heart all these years - with his father's talent, why did he stay in that mountain village, relying on physical labor to make a living every day? Not only was his father proficient in calligraphy, but also extremely knowledgeable in various fields. He even mastered three foreign languages, which Lin Hui discovered by chance, and probably no one else knew except his mother.

  It's not just his dad, but also his mom. The knowledge and upbringing of the two are fundamentally different from those of a person growing up in the countryside. He had curiously asked several times, but neither his father nor mother answered him, so he stopped asking after a long time.

  However, since he was sensible, his father's body has been very weak, especially in recent years, his body has been getting worse and worse.

  "No wonder..." Hearing Lin Hui say that, Lu Jian's heart felt a bit more at ease. If he had learned it on his own, that would be too unbelievable. It seemed that Lin Hui's father's calligraphy skills wouldn't be too bad either.

  It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Lu Jianguo finally let Lin Hui off and stopped asking questions.

  Three people were interested in calligraphy, but Lu Hao on the side was already extremely bored. Seeing that Lin Hui had nothing to do, Lu Hao suddenly spoke up and said, "Lin Hui is here for the first time, I'll take him out for a walk." He then directly pulled Lin Hui away.

  "Finally out." Walking into the yard, Lu Hao let out a sigh of relief. If he wasn't afraid of being scolded by the old man, he would have run out long ago.

  Looking at Lu Hao like that, Lin Hui suddenly burst out laughing.

  "Don't laugh, if you lived under his tyranny like me, who knows what would happen to you." Lu Hao sneered with a slight curl of his lip.

  Two people started chatting casually in the courtyard, and more than half an hour passed quickly.

  At this time, Lu Hao suddenly said to Lin Hui, "Lin Hui, have you practiced before? I think your skills seem pretty good."

  Lin Hui was slightly stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded, "I've practiced a bit."

  When Lin Hui said that, Lu Hao's smile deepened, and he seemed to be eager to try it out. "Why don't we go over there and practice a bit?" He pointed to a patch of grass outside the courtyard.

  Lin Hui didn't expect Lu Hao to say that, but soon he felt a stir in his heart. He had heard Chen Yanxin mention before that Lu Hao had grown up in the army since childhood, and it seemed that Lu Hao's skills shouldn't be too bad. He had just broken through and increased his strength significantly, but hadn't really made a move yet. Now hearing Lu Hao say this, he suddenly felt a bit motivated to take action.

  "Don't worry, we'll just stop when we're done, it's just a simple spar." Seeing Lin Hui not responding immediately, Lu Hao thought Lin Hui was worried about something and opened his mouth to say so. In fact, he wanted to exchange blows with Lin Hui to see what his strength was like. It couldn't be denied that he had become somewhat curious about Lin Hui now.

  "No problem." Lin Hui agreed in one breath, but in his heart, he secretly thought, "I hope it's not too weak."
