Translator: 549690339

Lu Xun looked into Lin Chan’s eyes, and couldn’t help but smile.

He rubbed her head and said, “As your master, I won’t practice sword cultivating technique every day. Even if you want to help me, Lin Chan, you can’t.”

In his opinion, it was not appropriate to have his disciple assist him with cultivation in his room every night.

This kind of late-night interaction was good once in a while.

After all, after each cultivation session, the power would remain in his body. It wouldn’t dissipate, nor would it weaken. Therefore, it was convenient enough to absorb it once in a while.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chan sighed inwardly and lowered her head, looking somewhat disappointed.

“Go and rest,” Lu Xun said with a smile.

Lin Chan nodded and got up from the bed.

“Good night, Lin Chan,” Lu Xun said kindly.

Lin Chan closed the door to Lu Xun’s room and murmured in her heart:

“Good night, Master.”

Inside the room, Lu Xun lay on his bed, his hands tucked under his head.

“It seems that you are quite fond of her?” he said aloud.

There was no one else in the room. His words were addressed to the small sword in his sword heart.

This Sword Silly was alive, but its spiritual wisdom was very limited.

However, it possessed basic emotions.

Just now, during Lin Chan’s assistance with the cultivation, the little sword in his sword heart was very active.

Obviously, the practice focused on the physique which had nothing to do with the sword, yet it was still very active.

The little sword in the sword heart shook rapidly as if giving Lu Xun an answer, but he didn’t know whether it was nodding or shaking its head.

“You Sword Silly, you only excel in vibrating, you’re such a simpleton,” Lu Xun said with a smile.

He felt like he had a “Rich Woman Happy Sword” inside him.

Just as he was ready to take a rest, he felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy from next door.

Lin Chan lives next door. Had she had a breakthrough?

Strange, did Little Chan have an epiphany while assisting me in cultivation?” Lu Xun wondered.

Gifted people were so wonderful, they would have epiphanies every now and then.

Lu Xun looked at his remaining experience points and thought, “I haven’t harvested experience points from players for a long time. I should take the chance to stock up next time.”

Time passed, and half a month flew by in the blink of an eye.

Apart from cooking and preparing meals in the back mountain, Lu Xun frequently visited the Outer Sect of the Demon Sect.

All his sword-serving disciples performed well. Their strengths improved significantly, and the experience points he had spent on them weren’t wasted.

The reason he often went to the Outer Sect was to visit Ji Li.

Somehow, if he didn’t see Ji Li for too long, he started to miss her.

Pushing open the wooden door to Ji Li’s yard, Ji Li who was practicing with the Wedding Sword noticed Lu Xun, she immediately threw her sword aside, then rushed over to him.

“Why are you running so fast? Doesn’t it hurt?” Lu Xun glanced at her thoughtfully.

“Lu Xun! You’ve come?” Ji Li said cheerfully.

Lu Xun nodded, raising the small dessert in his hand and said, “I know you might be lonely in the Outer Sect, so I’m here to chat with you. Here, I brought you some food.”

Ji Li joyfully received it with her eyes sparkling like crescent moons.

Looking at her, Lu Xun said with a smile, “Good, had another breakthrough?”

Ji Li nodded, swallowing her food and said, “Definitely! I’m the top disciple amongst my peers. Naturally, I should double my efforts!”

“Good, good! I heard the assessment for the Inner Sect promotion of Demon Sect is coming in a few days, right?” Lu Xun said.

“Yes, that’s why everyone in the Outer Sect has been really motivated lately. I’ve seen many people pulling their socks up, hoping to make it to the Inner Sect.” Ji Li replied.

The resources available to Outer Sect disciples differ from those available to Inner Sect disciples.

Outer Sect disciples are taught by Outer Sect Elders and Deacons, while Inner Sect disciples are personally mentored by Shen Yan and several Peak Masters. There is a great difference between them.

Of course, Shen Yan is famously bad at mentoring disciples. Even the Outer Sect Elder performs better than him as an instructor,” was the consensus.

“Do you have confidence?” Lu Xun asked.

“Yes!” Ji Li lifted her head and puffed up her chest, retorting: “Don’t underestimate me, Elder Qiu Shui even said that I’m a sure fire success for this assessment!”

“Terrifying, truly terrifying,” Lu Xun responded.

“Lu Xun, will you come on the day of the Inner Sect promotion assessment?” Ji Li looked at him expectantly.

Lu Xun was very aware that not only Shen Yan but the other Peak Masters also saw potential in this little seedling, Ji Li.

Especially Shen Yan, who saw her as his successor early on.

What Lu Xun understood more was that Ji Li longed to become his disciple.

That way, she could rightfully live in the back mountains and satiate her cravings at whim.

Moreover, in terms of hierarchy, Lu Xun was currently her Young Elder, becoming her master would bring them a generation closer!

In the world of cultivators, there is nothing strange about romantic relations between masters and disciples. It is quite common.

Female masters with male disciples or male masters with female disciples, both situations are common.

Of course, such relationships happen more often when the disciple is of a certain age when accepted by the master.

If a child is accepted as a disciple, the relationship is more like that between a parent and a child.

Lu Xun gazed at her, “You want me to take you as my disciple?”

“Yes!” Ji Li admitted straightforwardly.

Lu Xun flicked her forehead and replied: “Even if I do, you’ll be a troublesome disciple!”

“How could that be possible! Master, I’ll be sure to serve you well!” Ji Li flirted, winking at him.

“God knows what kind of ‘serving well’ you have in mind.” Lu Xun grumbled to himself.

This little girl thinks about offering herself all day long, she can’t even compare to the obedient and sensible Little Chan.

For example, a few days ago when he was unconscious due to the profound Sword Cultivating Technique of the Eldest Brother, Little Chan was diligently taking care of him by his bedside, not making any unreasonable moves.

But if it were Ji Li and Lu Xun was unconscious…

The consequences were unimaginable!

Who knows whether she could control herself!

Upon further thought, despite the mix of thrills and feelings, it seemed a little inappropriate.

At least not feasible for the time being.

Taking Ji Li to the back mountains was a plan he could agree with, it would assist her cultivation.

But preferably not as his direct disciple.

Senior Brother is certainly not taking any disciples, he recently didn’t seem in the mood to do so either.

As of now, Senior Brother hasn’t established any new criteria for accepting disciples, and Lu Xun was questioning whether he might end up being Senior Brother’s last disciple.

Considering Elder Brother wasn’t an option, he was as good as closed up for the duration.

Third Brother was ruthlessly ruled out by Lu Xun, for the simple reason that he was male.

As for Mao Nanbei, she was ruled out since she would faint at the sight of female body.

After careful consideration, the most suitable candidate was Second Sister.

Plus, both Second Sister and Lin Chan were Sword Cultivators, perfectly suited to guide Ji Li’s cultivation.

However, before that, he needed to persuade Second Sister first.

Among the Elders at the back mountains, only the First Elder had taken disciples. The others had not.

Mao Nanbei did express interest in taking a disciple or two for fun, but everyone opposed it.

Second Sister… obviously had no intentions of taking disciples.

However, Lu Xun remained confident about persuading Second Sister Gu Xiaoman.

Although Second Sister has a cool exterior and doesn’t talk much, she had always cared for Lu Xun.

And Lu Xun knew very well, Gu Xiaoman was only seemingly aloof, in fact, it wasn’t so.

He stood up, “No more chat, I’m returning to the back mountains.”

“Huh? Why are you in such a hurry to back?” Ji Li was a little reluctant, “Did I say something wrong, have I upset you?”

“What are you thinking about?” He flicked her forehead again, smiled and responded: “I have things to deal with, you’ll know when the time comes.”
