Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: You’ve Seen Through It

"Senior Sister Sun, I’ve come today because I have a favor to ask of you."

Entering Sun Lin’s bamboo house and casually inquiring about her injury recovery, Fang Bai got straight to the point.

"Junior Brother Fang, no need to be formal. Whatever you need, just say it. I will definitely do my best to help."

Having received Fang Bai’s help, which allowed her to recover and resume her path in the Martial Dao, Sun Lin felt indescribable gratitude towards Fang Bai. Now that he had a request, she naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Here’s the deal..."

Fang Bai explained the idea of him, Shi Ming, Zheng Hong, and Huang Zhong wanting to go out and train, concluding, "I’ve heard that for disciples of Lingxu Palace to venture out, a group of at least five is required, with at least one Foundation Establishment expert among them. So..."

Sun Lin blinked, her eyes showing a hint of amusement, and asked, "So you’re here to ask me to join your team?"

Fang Bai nodded and said, "Exactly."

Sun Lin sighed lightly, "But, Junior Brother Fang, like you, I’m just at the Half-Step Foundation Establishment!"

Fang Bai’s gaze fell on Sun Lin’s face, smiling, "Senior Sister Sun, if I’m not mistaken, your cultivation level will advance to the Foundation Establishment realm in the next three to five days, right?"

"How... how did you see that?"

Sun Lin raised her delicate eyebrows, appearing quite surprised.

Before her injury, Sun Lin’s cultivation was already close to breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm. With the healing effects of Fang Bai’s Marrow Cleansing Pill, her meridians reconnected, and the stagnant spiritual energy began to gather again. Her body was like a long-suppressed volcano, ready to erupt.

Additionally, in the past two days, Sun Lin’s grandmother, Sun Jing, had sent her plenty of spirit pills and spiritual liquids, helping her accumulate even more spiritual energy and power. This made the conditions for breaking through even more adequate.

Intuition also told Sun Lin that within three to five days, she might break through previous barriers, reaching the Foundation Establishment realm and becoming a Foundation Establishment expert, thus securing a place as an Inner Court disciple.

Sun Lin was very excited about this but decided to wait until she truly stepped into the Foundation Establishment realm to tell her grandmother Sun Jing, giving her a pleasant surprise.

Sun Lin disguised it well, so much so that even Sun Jing, who frequently visited her, hadn’t noticed anything different. Yet Fang Bai saw through her with one look.

Fang Bai laughed, "Senior Sister Sun, don’t forget that I have an Innate Fire Spirit Root, giving me a much sharper sense of fire spiritual energy than others. Besides, you practice Fire-based Techniques too!"

Sun Lin nodded, admiration in her eyes, "Junior Brother Fang, you’re amazing! No wonder grandma says that your future achievements on the Martial Dao path will be limitless! Grandma also said that in Lingxu Palace, apart from the Founding Ancestor, who was a Golden Core realm expert, no one else in the past ten thousand years has reached that realm. Yet you might be the most promising one!"

Fang Bai gave a wry smile, "Elder Sun is not complimenting me but putting me on a pedestal! I haven’t even successfully established my Foundation, let alone the Golden Core realm."

Despite his words, Fang Bai thought to himself, "What even is the Golden Core realm? At my peak, I could wipe out thousands of Golden Core experts in one breath!"

Sun Lin thought Fang Bai was being modest and softly chuckled, "Alright then! Since you’ve seen through it, once I advance to the Foundation Establishment realm, I’ll join your team and venture out together. How about that?"

"Then I’ll be eagerly awaiting your good news, Senior Sister Sun!"

Fang Bai knew Sun Lin’s advancement was a sure thing without needing his guidance. Since she had already agreed to join his team, he felt a sense of relief and bid farewell.

The next morning, when Fang Bai informed Shi Ming, Zheng Hong, and Huang Zhong, they initially found it hard to believe. Once confirmed, they became extremely joyous.

Who is Sun Lin?

The Former number one beauty of the External Courtyard, top three on the battle power ranking among disciples, and one of the External Courtyard’s most promising to advance to the Foundation Establishment realm, the cherished granddaughter of Elder Sun Jing of the Elixir Hall...

Sun Lin, with these halos, had caught the attention of all Lingxu Palace disciples, with many male disciples viewing her as the best Martial Dao companion, earnestly pursuing her in droves.

Zheng Hong was once among those admirers, but being a Mountain Guarding Disciple of the External Courtyard Department, he felt inferior and unworthy, thus never dared express his feelings for Sun Lin, only watched as others hovered around her, vying for her favor.

However, after Sun Lin was severely injured during an expedition, becoming akin to a cripple, she rarely appeared in the sights of the Lingxu Palace disciples, and their attention gradually faded.

The news of Sun Lin’s injury recovery was known only to Lingxu Palace’s high-level members, unknown to other disciples.

If Fang Bai hadn’t personally relayed the news, even disciples like Huang Zhong, serving as menial servants, would have heard it last.

"Senior Brother Zheng, I heard that back then, many admired Senior Sister Sun, were you among them?"

Seeing Zheng Hong’s intense reaction to hearing "Sun Lin," Huang Zhong couldn’t resist asking with a grin.

"Yes. I was quite enamored with Senior Sister Sun back then, but later felt I was completely unworthy of her in every aspect, so I gave up."

Zheng Hong didn’t shy away from the question and acknowledged it openly.

Now, guided by Fang Bai, Zheng Hong had newfound confidence in advancing to the Foundation Establishment realm and felt qualified to pursue Sun Lin, rekindling his "spring heart" that had lain dormant.

"This outing is a great chance for you to get close to Senior Sister Sun, don’t miss it. Let me congratulate you in advance for winning the beauty’s heart!"

Fang Bai jokingly teased.

Though beautiful, Sun Lin was far from comparable to Fang Bai’s numerous romantic interests in every way, and Fang Bai had no other feelings for her, only viewing her as an ordinary friend.

Though Zheng Hong was merely an External Courtyard Department guard now, being very loyal and of good character, Fang Bai didn’t mind supporting him and was happy to see him and Sun Lin together.

"Thanks for your blessing, Junior Brother Fang. I hope my wishes come true!"

Zheng Hong laughed heartily.

Fang Bai instructed Shi Ming, Zheng Hong, and Huang Zhong to return and prepare, ready to set off as soon as they heard from Sun Lin.

Three days later, Fang Bai keenly sensed an intense energy fluctuation from the direction of Sun Lin’s bamboo house, which calmed after a few moments.

Fang Bai knew then that Sun Lin had successfully established her Foundation.

Two more days later, after consolidating her realm, Sun Lin came looking for Fang Bai to discuss team training.

Soon, Shi Ming, Zheng Hong, and Huang Zhong all arrived at Fang Bai’s bamboo house.

"Senior Sister Sun, you... you... hello! I’m... my name is Zheng Hong, an External Courtyard disciple..."

When introducing Zheng Hong to Sun Lin, his excitement made him blush and stammer.

Watching this, Sun Lin couldn’t help but laugh softly.
