The Junior Has Been a Little Distracted

"Xueli, this is the fifth time you've turned back."

Night fell, and in the skies above the outskirts of Donglin, Xiao Xueli, who was riding on her Sword Flight, turned back once more and looked toward the direction of Donglin City.

Seeing his disciple's reluctant expression, the Sword Spirit sighed softly.

The concept of "emotion" is not only a crucial hurdle on the path to enlightenment for the fox clan, but it is equally important for other cultivators.

Especially "love".

"Love" has been a timeless and fascinating topic throughout history, and there's good reason for that.

"Master, did you really help me say goodbye to him properly?"

Reluctantly turning her gaze away from the direction of Donglin City, Xiao Xueli lowered her eyes and asked softly.

"Yes, of course."

"Did you apologize to him for me? About... about me kicking him for no reason..."

"You little rascal, this isn't just random..." The Sword Spirit gently tapped the disciple's forehead with the hilt of its sword. "You like him, you're being honest."

"But..."

"But you don't know if he likes you?"

"..."

Xiao Xueli did not answer, but that was tacit agreement.

"Silly girl, whether he likes you or not, why don't you just ask him?"

"Elder Sister Sword Spirit..." the girl said in a rare, coquettish tone.

"Okay, okay, I know you don't have the courage, but I don't know if Jiang Lin is really in love with you, but he definitely has feelings for you."

"Huh?"

"Because I just asked him..."

The Sword Spirit told his disciple about his request to Jiang Lin in the courtyard, and Jiang Lin's reply.

"Elder Sister Sword Spirit, what did you ask her?" As soon as Sword Spirit finished speaking, Xiao Xueli was already extremely embarrassed, her cheeks burning, and she wished she could immediately fly to the mountain spring to calm down with the cool spring water.

But in the girl's heart, she was incredibly happy, and his words kept echoing in her mind.

It was as if this was the most beautiful love confession the girl had ever heard.

Knowing that his apprentice was currently harboring girlish thoughts, the Sword Spirit didn't say much. Such girlish thoughts were the purest and most innocent.

Even after countless years, when I look back again, the feelings and memories are still so clear, as if etched into my soul, like a fine wine from the depths of my being.

"Xueli, after you go to the Extremely Cold Continent and learn the 《Thousand Autumns One Dream》, return to Wutong Province. You don't need to worry about my affairs anymore..."

"No! Elder Sister Sword Spirit! I won't leave! It was Elder Sister Sword Spirit who helped me escape from danger time and time again, and it was Elder Sister Sword Spirit who taught me cultivation!"

"You little rascal, what if something happens to you? How will you reunite with your little lover then?"

"No! I will definitely avenge Elder Sister Sword Spirit!"

"You little brat, why won't you listen? The Black Soul Hall is not something you can interfere with."

"Then I want to stay with Elder Sister Sword Spirit too!"

"You... are always so stubborn..."

The Sword Spirit's tone carried a hint of helplessness, but deep down he felt incredibly warm.

Who says the Great Way is without feeling? Is it the Great Way itself that is without feeling, or is it humankind?

Without realizing it, the Sword Spirit also recalled the boy wrapped up like a mummy at the Qian residence, and couldn't help but smile:

If that kid and Xueli really become Dao Companion and start a sect, the sect will definitely be very lively.

"And Elder Sister Sword Spirit, you're wrong about one thing."

Just as the Sword Spirit was pondering, the girl said in her heart.

"Um?"

"Xueli's Supreme Bone is incredibly powerful. Once we break through the Black Soul Hall, Xueli will go find him and tell him for real! I love him!"

The Sword Spirit chuckled and joked, "What if he already has Dao Companion by then, or he no longer likes you?"

"If that's really the case..."

The girl smiled gently, her smile enchanting and dreamlike under the moonlight.

"Then I'll kick his shin again!"

On the eighth day, at the Qian residence, eleven days had passed since the great battle that night.

Three days after Lin Qingwan and Xiao Xueli left, Jiang Lin removed his bandages and became a hero again.

That very evening, Jiang Lin was going to take Little Fatty to the Spring Breeze Pavilion to celebrate his rebirth.

However, Little Fatty refused while crying, seemingly traumatized by the girls from the Spring Breeze Pavilion he had been chased by last time.

But that's okay.

That evening, Jiang Lin, along with Little Fatty, Hu Shuang, and You You, embarked on a thrilling and exciting adventure...

Flying Chess...

The next day, Jiang Lin was to return to the Sun Moon Sect, and Hu Shuang, You You, and Little Fatty were also leaving.

I heard that Hu Shuang's Hailstone Sect, is on good terms with a painter sect called Pika Sect, so Hu Shuang agreed to help Little Fatty with the introduction.

As for You You, she did not Hailstone Sect.

Her acquaintance with Hu Shuang was a Opportunity. They met while training in a Xiao Xiao ruin, helped each other, and each gained Opportunity.

Hu Shuang's Opportunity were alright; while not bad, they weren't so bad that they would arouse envy from others.

However, You You is different. No one would have expected that there would be Sea Bright Pearl in that Xiao Xiao Secret Realm. Although the Sea Bright Pearl is not a destructive magic weapon, it has miraculous effects on both healing and alchemy!

Even powerful figures at the Nascent Soul Realm would be envious.

Having been possessed by You You, Youyou was relentlessly pursued after that, which led her to Donglin City.

Fortunately, those cultivators were not highly skilled and were mostly Wild Mountain Cultivators. Because they wanted to monopolize the Sea Bright Pearl, they did not make a fuss. This allowed You You and Hu Shuang to escape and arrive in Donglin City, where they were eventually rescued by Little Fatty.

Because the Chenghuang bloodline is extremely rare, comparable to the white fox and the dragon, and because You You possesses a great treasure, Tai Er Zhenjun lent You You a newly improved super-fast-wind -Message Delivery Flying Sword to send a message to the White Kingdom so that the bigwig could come and pick him up.

The big shot just happened to arrive today; he was also a yellow-haired old man.

Jiang Lin couldn't discern Cheng Huang's cultivation level, but although Cheng Huang was skilled at long-distance travel, the fact that it arrived in just ten days indicated that its cultivation level was definitely not low.

Jiang Lin's eyes burned even brighter as he looked at the old man!

"This fellow Daoist must be Young Master Jiang. Thank you, Young Master Jiang, for saving my granddaughter."

Looking at Jiang Lin, Grandpa Huang bowed deeply, showing great courtesy.

But when the old man looked up at Jiang Lin, for some reason, he felt like a beautiful woman who had just emerged from a bath, and then encountered a lecherous man, who was staring at her intently...

Even I got goosebumps from looking at myself.

"Young Master Jiang?"

Grandpa Huang asked tentatively.

"Oh, my apologies." Looking at Lao Chenghuang, Jiang Lin composed himself, cupped his hands in apology, and said, "I was a little distracted just now."

You You rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin and snorted, "Grandpa, don't listen to his nonsense. He wasn't daydreaming; he wanted to ride you."
