Chapter 64: 63. Lin Xiao’s first kiss is taken away again! Zhu Wanning appears! _1

Something’s off about this guy’s sword intent...

As he gazed at the man he once considered a mere underling, now radiating an extraordinary and terrifying Sword Intent, Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel a pang of unease.

"Young friend! You’re seriously injured, and you’ve just battled that young girl, draining a great deal of your True Yuan. You shouldn’t use the Great Five Elements Destruction Sword!"

"A wise man knows when to retreat! Let me train you for another half-month, and then you’ll surely be able to handle this person!"

A frantic voice suddenly spoke out from the ring.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback before a bitter smile crept onto his face. "Run? Old Shi, if you looked down on me before, that’s one thing. But now you’ve seen for yourself."

"I defeated Chen Feng, the former chief disciple of Tiandang Peak, with just one move! Even Daoist Yuan Yi looked at me in a new light!"

"Among the younger generation of the Qinglan Sect, I am now a top existence. Why would I fear someone with merely an undeserved reputation?"

Ye Chen appeared indifferent, his face showing no sign of fear.

However, what he never expected was that...

The usually kindly old man inside the ring would suddenly burst out with curses:

"You really think you’re that strong?"

"You idiotic runt!"

"Alright, I won’t beat around the bush! Here’s the truth!"

"Every time you were severely wounded in your fight with that boy, a portion of your ’Golden Supreme Luck’ was stolen by him!"

"Even he may not have realized this!"

"Now I can finally confirm it!"

"That person hidden within the Qinglan Sect, who’s been intercepting your luck and whose standing is no less than yours, is precisely this Lin Xiao before you!"

Upon hearing these words, Ye Chen was greatly shocked. The huge sword in his hand nearly slipped from his grip and fell to the ground!

"Wha...What?"

"That person is... Lin Xiao?"

"Old Shi, are you serious!?"

His voice was hoarse, and a chill ran down his spine.

The voice from the ring responded:

"Nonsense! When have I ever lied to you?"

"Moreover! This Lin Xiao didn’t show the slightest killing intent when he first fought you at the disciple recruitment ceremony!"

"So that day, despite your disadvantage, I was merely observing from the shadows; I didn’t intervene."

"But now it’s different..."

"The killing intent in his sword has reached its zenith! This time... if he wins, he will undoubtedly kill you!"

"You must understand, the look in one’s eyes when they want to tear someone limb from limb and scatter their ashes cannot be hidden!"

"Ye Chen! If you remain obstinate, then throw away this Soul Ring! I admit defeat!"

"Old Shi, you..."

Ye Chen’s face went deathly pale. He turned to look at the white-robed figure in the distance, whose Sword Intent was growing increasingly vast and sharp. For a moment, he truly felt a sliver of fear.

"Fine! A great man knows when to yield and when to stand firm! I’ll listen to you!"

Having said that, he gritted his teeth. Disregarding his pride as the chief disciple, he executed his movement technique and dashed with all his might toward the sleeping chambers of Daoist Yuan Yi, his nominal Master.

His actions naturally stunned the entire crowd:

"It’s over! It’s really over!"

"Who would have thought that the once so arrogant Chief Ye would... actually flee from battle!"

"Huh... but he wasn’t like this when he fought Senior Brother Chen Feng!"

"Isn’t it obvious? He must have been terrified by Senior Brother Lin’s Sword Intent! The Formless Sword Body is no mere boast!"

"It seems the world has deeply misunderstood this Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak! He is truly strong!"

"Tsk, tsk. With Senior Brother Lin entering the fray, this year’s Five Branches Martial Competition will be quite a show! I wonder if that Senior Sister Zhu can still defend her title as champion?"

* * *

What the hell.

Ye Chen, that brainless Long Aotian, actually retreated without a fight when he was at his most arrogant, having just mastered the Five Elements Sword Art?

Lin Xiao too was somewhat caught off guard.

"Eldest Senior Brother!"

A faint, weak call from Little Junior Sister Lu Yingying reached him from a distance.

Lin Xiao’s heart clenched. He executed the Drunken Immortal Watching Moon Step and was by her side in an instant.

Seeing the shocking sword wounds on his Little Junior Sister up close, his heart ached once more.

He quickly retrieved the healing elixirs awarded by the system over the years from his storage space and began to staunch her bleeding.

"Yingying, why did you suddenly run off to find that mad dog Ye Chen?" Lin Xiao asked with a pained heart, gently rolling up the girl’s sleeve and carefully applying the ointment.

At this point, why still play the damned villain? All he wanted now was to hold his junior sister, with her delicate and frail body, in his arms, offering her the greatest solace and warmth.

"Eldest Senior Brother..."

Lu Yingying struggled to lift her deathly pale little hand and touched her beloved’s cheek, choking out, "Eldest Senior Brother... Yingying was so useless. I couldn’t even kill Ye Chen... to save you..."

"Save me?"

Lin Xiao gave a bitter smile and gently replied, "Silly girl, don’t talk nonsense, and don’t circulate your True Qi. This Thousand Year Blood Condensing Paste Eldest Senior Brother has is a First Grade spiritual medicine. Your external wounds will heal quickly!"

"Eldest Senior Brother... Yingying really likes... the way you are now."

"And I love the way you speak now... so gentle, just like when we were children..."

"Eldest Senior Brother, please don’t pretend to be so fierce anymore, okay?"

"Yingying is sometimes truly afraid... afraid that I’ll never see the Eldest Senior Brother from our childhood again." She choked on a sob.

The girl completely ignored him, continuing to speak her heart. Two streams of crystalline tears slid down her pale little face, lending her an even more heart-wrenchingly beautiful and pitiful appearance.

"Uhh..."

Listening to the girl’s words, Lin Xiao’s heart trembled violently.

Even a stoic man like him felt his eyes well up at this moment!

Thinking of all the excessive things he had done to his junior sisters over the years to maintain his villain persona, a sharp pain pierced his heart!

He finally understood.

This sensitive and perceptive Little Junior Sister had long since seen through his act!

The reason she hadn’t reacted with the same aversion as depicted in the original novel all these years was simply because...

She deeply loved... the Eldest Senior Brother from her childhood, who was as warm as a gentle breeze and a sunny day!

That was the real Lin Xiao!

Immersed in a whirlpool of emotions, he pulled the young girl into his arms. He gently kissed her forehead and, in the most tender voice he had ever used, said:

"Let’s go! Eldest Senior Brother will take you home!"

Hearing these words, the girl before him froze, her cherry-red lips parted slightly, a dazed expression on her face as if she had transcended worlds!

Every time she got into trouble as a child, her tall and steadfast Eldest Senior Brother would always appear in time to shelter her from the wind and rain, and take her home!

Thus, for him to say these words again after so many years signified...

The world’s gentlest Eldest Senior Brother...

He was back!

"Eldest Senior Brother!"

Instantly, tears streamed down the girl’s face like rain. Casting all else aside, she pushed herself up and threw herself into her Eldest Senior Brother’s embrace.

"Everything will be alright once we’re home. Master is there, and so are your two senior sisters. Everyone will dote on you."

Lin Xiao also held back his emotions, squeezed out a smile, and comforted the girl in his arms.

Witnessing this scene, the Lion Hawk Beast beside them flapped its enormous wings, letting out a joyful MEOW.

"Tsk, you’re quite resilient, aren’t you, big fella?"

Lin Xiao patted the beast’s large head.

It was then he noticed a white-robed figure standing beneath a Phoenix tree, watching them with a dazed expression!

Zhu Wanning?

"Senior Brother Lin, when I heard that Junior Sister Lu went to Tiandang Peak to duel Ye Chen, I rushed over. But... I’m truly sorry, I was still too late... *Sigh*."

Zhu Wanning sighed lightly. Her slender legs moved gracefully as she walked over, stepping on a pair of crystal high heels.

Seeing this peerlessly elegant, ice-queen-like beauty, Senior Sister Zhu Wanning, before her, Lu Yingying’s small face tightened, clearly showing some displeasure.

Indeed, during the public trial, this Senior Sister Zhu had shown interest in her Eldest Senior Brother, which had displeased her somewhat!

Anyone who tries to snatch Eldest Senior Brother away is a heretic, someone who must be eliminated!

However, a smile soon blossomed on her face.

"I’ve already driven Ye Chen off. There’s no need for Senior Sister Zhu to worry."

"Excuse me."

"I’m taking my junior sister home now."

With that said, Lin Xiao didn’t spare the beautiful fairy before him another glance. Cradling his junior sister, he mounted his sword and rode the wind, departing.

"Senior Brother Lin..."

Zhu Wanning watched the fading figure of Senior Brother Lin from Divine Phoenix Peak, whom she had encountered once before. She intuitively stretched out her hand as if to hold onto something, but it ultimately turned into a sigh of regret.

By all rights, given her upbringing—always the center of attention, admired by her peers, and favored by the elders—she should have been furious at such treatment. Yet, for some reason, being slighted like this for the first time by a man, what she felt more acutely was not anger, but a sense of unwillingness and bewildered loss.

"Eldest Senior Brother, Yingying loves you so much~"

High in the sky, Lin Xiao was caught completely off guard. He heard a soft POP, and then felt a cool, soft sensation on his lips...

He then realized...

His first kiss... stolen again!
