Brother Lin Is Too Low-Key

"Mm..."

Taiwan Novel Network Library had plenty of books—take your pick.

"Sister Mu Xi, are you taking me back?"

After leaving the Blacksmith Association, Tang Wulin looked at Mu Xi, who was following beside him. A curious look appeared on his face as he spoke.

Why did it feel like... ever since his blacksmithing ability had been rated, this sister had been paying him special attention?

Although this senior sister had treated him rather well in the original story, they had only just met now...

Mm, once he thought about how he was a Fourth-Level Blacksmith, it suddenly seemed like no issue at all.

"What's the big deal?"

"We're from the same academy anyway, and I happen to be heading back too, so we can go together."

Standing beside Tang Wulin, Mu Xi shook her head upon hearing that and spoke as though she did not care.

It was such a small matter. What was there to mention?

"However..."

"Are you usually free?"

Yet before even a few seconds had passed, she finally revealed her true intentions. Her eyes gleamed as she looked at Tang Wulin and asked.

Wu Lin, are you free?

"I was wondering, when you have time, could I ask you to share some of your blacksmithing insights with me?"

"I want to know what blacksmithing is usually like for a genius like you, someone far more talented than me."

As she spoke, she could not help blushing a little, clearly feeling somewhat embarrassed.

As a young lady already thirteen or fourteen years old, and the daughter of an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman, asking a younger boy for guidance was rather embarrassing no matter what.

But! As the saying went, the strong were teachers. There was nothing wrong with her doing this!

So it really was because of that.

Hearing her question, Tang Wulin fell into thought. It was indeed just as he had expected.

I remember that Mu Xi was very devoted to blacksmithing in the original story. It seems that really is true.

She truly is the beloved daughter of an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman. She can even become a Saint Craftsman in the future. A female Saint Craftsman... that sounds pretty impressive.

He sighed inwardly.

A female Saint Craftsman—it sounded powerful just by hearing it.

"Mm, of course I am."

"When there are no classes on weekends, I'm generally pretty free."

Then, with a smile on his face, he answered.

"Yay!"

"Then it's settled?"

Receiving an affirmative answer, Mu Xi instantly beamed and spoke happily.

"Of course."

Elsewhere, at Eastsea City Junior Academy.

It had to be said that as one of Eastsea City's strongest figures and the president of the Blacksmith Association, the Mu Family was quite influential.

The soul-guided car prepared for Mu Xi was also extremely fast. Before long, they had already reached their destination...

"Little Brother Wu Lin, you should head back first."

"I'm going to the blacksmithing room to make some materials. Ahem, well then, bye-bye."

The moment she dropped Tang Wulin off at the academy dormitory building, Mu Xi gave a light cough and said this.

As for that excuse about conveniently being on the way... when had she ever said such a thing?!

"..."

"All right, Sister. You go on back."

Tang Wulin's face showed an unsurprised look as he replied.

He knew it. How could she possibly return to the academy right after getting her blacksmith rating? So she had only come to talk to him.

"Okay."

Mu Xi hurriedly nodded like a pecking chick, then waved and headed toward the school gates.

"Great~"

"As long as Little Brother Wu Lin agreed, that's enough. I want to see what the secrets of genius blacksmithing are like. They'll definitely help me a lot."

Mu Xi walked with an exceptionally light step, delight written all over her as she skipped out of the academy.

She was still a young girl, after all. Something that matched her expectations so well naturally put her in a much better mood.

"School seems to start tomorrow."

"Then I'll just rest for the next two days. Since I've just arrived, I'll take a look around the city."

Tang Wulin said this with a smile.

However, the next moment, a familiar voice entered his ears.

"Brother Lin!"

"That person just now was..."

"Your sister?"

Xie Xie, who happened to be passing by, had witnessed everything that had just happened. He walked over, a thoughtful look on his face, and could not help asking.

From what he had seen, that soul-guided car just now was hardly inferior to his family's, perhaps even more high-end...

The other party's background must have been anything but ordinary.

Yet even so, he had never heard of her great reputation before. That was truly rather strange.

"Mm."

"You could say she's my sister."

Tang Wulin gave the matter a little thought, then nodded in reply.

Whether she was his sister or not, one could say she was, but one could also say she was not...

In other words, that was that.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Xie Xie nodded, a contemplative look in his eyes as he quietly replied.

At that moment, he was completely convinced that Tang Wulin had spoken so vaguely because he did not want to reveal his background.

After all, if his Martial Soul had not been so thoroughly suppressed by Tang Wulin's, he would only have considered him a handsome guy, not a powerful expert.

The words "low-key" seemed to describe him better than anything else. In all his years of life, Xie Xie had never seen a boy more low-key than him.

As expected of Brother Lin. No matter how extraordinary his background is, he won't reveal the slightest bit of it...

No wonder he suppresses me so thoroughly and beat me up so badly.

He sighed inwardly. Admiration instantly welled up in his heart, and he could only feel that a big brother truly was a big brother.

So powerful, yet so modest and unassuming... truly worthy of being Brother Lin!

I have to learn from Brother Lin too.

Xie Xie clenched his fists, determination flashing in his eyes as he thought seriously.

Tang Wulin was so much stronger than him, yet he did not flaunt it at all. As for himself, he was merely an ordinary Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power and soul power rank 18. What right did he have to act arrogant?

He understood!

"Mm?"

"Xie Xie, what's wrong?"

Seeing the other boy deep in thought, Tang Wulin was instantly at a loss and could not help asking.

Why did it feel like something was a little off with him?

"Nothing."

"Brother Lin, I understand now. I will definitely adjust my mindset and become a truly outstanding genius."

Xie Xie shook his head and slowly spoke, gratitude on his face.

"?"

"Did I say that?"

"Did I mean that?"

Tang Wulin heard this, his wide eyes filled with immense helplessness. With a thoughtful expression, he could not help muttering.

He had told Xie Xie to adjust his mindset and become a truly outstanding genius?

How...

He did not even know that himself!
