The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 241
241. Dual Wielding
After being “criticized” by the immortals, Tianqi Immortal started talking about the previous matter concerning Li Ruo’er.
He said:
“Young brother Lin, we can agree to your previous request. Regarding Li Ruo’er’s affiliation, it can be according to your wishes. Li Ruo’er can cultivate as a disciple in Zifeng Valley, but she will always belong to you. If you change your mind, you can take her away.”
“Alright.”
Lin Nuo finally heard something sensible. After being criticized for most of the day, they finally said something useful.
He thought there would be a long negotiation with the old immortals, waiting for them to see Li Ruo’er’s true talent before reluctantly agreeing to his request. But now, they agreed directly.
Tianqi Immortal continued:
“Well, as the elder of Xuanyun Sect said, you have unique talents. Li Ruo’er belongs to you, which is beneficial to the world. The promotion of righteousness is entrusted to you young people.”
“Rest assured.”
Yes, rest assured, when the time comes, your values will be shattered.
Entrusting the future peerless fox fairy to a demon, eventually turning into a demon fox, not only Zifeng Valley but the whole world will be doomed.
This huge contrast is undoubtedly fatal to this group of immortals, more fatal than physical injuries.
Lin Nuo continued:
“I will take her down to the Immortal Valley in a while, but I will bring her back for cultivation.”
“Can you tell us the reason? Although she belongs to you, we also care about her whereabouts.”
“Lin Family’s grand celebration, she is my maid, naturally, she has to go back with me.”
Lin Nuo said, he recently remembered the Lin Family’s grand celebration. The Lin Family is a big family with talents emerging in large numbers, spread all over the world. These family members rarely interact, even during holidays, but this time the Lin Family’s grand celebration has called them all back together.
Although they gather together, the Lin Family is not as united as imagined.
On the contrary, it is full of intrigue.
The bigger the family, the more interests are involved, unity is difficult. If they could be united, he wouldn’t have been helpless to fall into the demon path back then.
The so-called Lin Family’s grand celebration was set by an ancestor of the Lin Family a long time ago, the first ancestor was valued by the court and moved to the Central Plains.
In the past, the ancestors of the Lin Family roamed the world, had no fixed abode, later made meritorious deeds on the battlefield, then moved to the prosperous city of the Central Plains, and began to pass on the family line. Generations of efforts have created the huge Lin Family today.
The grand celebration lasts for about half a month, and family members celebrate this joyous occasion.
However, in recent years, the Lin Family’s grand celebration has become a time for showing off. The Lin Family members invite dignitaries over and then indirectly show off their achievements and power.
Whoever invites the most prestigious people, their power is the strongest, and they have the most say in the Lin Family.
In the previous life, every time Lin Nuo went back, he was shown up. Although he was fortunate to enter Xuanyun Sect for cultivation, his cultivation was low and he had no fame, so he was naturally ridiculed.
But he couldn’t not go back, he would be considered disloyal and unfilial, and if he didn’t go back without a major reason, he would be condemned, and later targeted by the Lin Family, which would be troublesome.
So he chose to go back, only taking a maid, just to go through the motions, and enjoy some free food.
Logically, new disciples should stay in the valley for a year and a half to cultivate. If the senior immortals think it is appropriate, they can go down to the valley for practical training.
But Lin Nuo made the request, and the Lin Family’s grand celebration was also heard of, it is considered a big event in the Puhan Kingdom, and Li Ruo’er is also considered a member of the Lin Family, so she should go back.
“Alright, inform us two days in advance when you go back, then you can leave. But we also hope to bring Li Ruo’er back as soon as possible, it will be difficult to pick up the cultivation of immortal arts again if the time is too long.”
Immortal Tianqi agreed, and Lin Nuo nodded in agreement.
…
After the conversation ended, Li Ruo’er had to assist the immortals in treating the immortal beasts. Although the surface injuries were healed, the inner injuries were not, and needed to be soothed. At this time, the immortal beast caretakers would play a big role.
Lin Nuo also followed, acting as a commander, occasionally giving directions to the immortals, and when he couldn’t, he would drink tea and eat fruits.
In a sense, he saved Zifeng Valley, and the immortals of Zifeng Valley naturally respected him and were willing to listen to his “high opinions.”
Suddenly, he found it quite enjoyable to give directions to the immortals, even though he was just a third-tier rookie.
Su Kexin had been following him all along. From him, she saw the demeanor of an immortal, although he was not an immortal.
Lin Nuo thought it was quite good that Su Kexin was following him. At least with her in his sight, she wouldn’t secretly comprehend some earth-shattering technique.
However, Su Kexin kept nagging about practicing the Twin Dance Sword Technique with him, and of course, she brought up dual cultivation. But Lin Nuo always diverted the topic of dual cultivation, at most practicing the Twin Dance Sword Technique with her a little.
Thanks to Su Kexin, Lin Nuo felt his sword had become stronger.
This meant that Su Kexin and her sword had also become stronger. However, whether they were human or ghost, they were all getting stronger, only he remained a rookie.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.
He said to Su Kexin:
“Junior Sister, give me your sword.”
“Hmm? What does Senior Brother want to do?”
Su Kexin obediently handed the Phoenix Sword to Lin Nuo. Now he had two swords in his hands, feeling a strong spiritual power surging in his hands.
Lin Nuo felt he could do it again, feeling that with these two swords, he could chase the strongest person in the world from the south to the north without any problem.
He originally had many swords. Most sword-wielding cultivators wielded a single sword, as it was easier to channel spiritual power and control.
Moreover, most sword techniques were for single swords. If there were multiple swords, it had to be a heaven-defying technique like the Myriad Sword Intent. Twin swords seemed redundant, hard to control, and not much more powerful, so few people chose to practice with twin swords.
Moreover, the twin sword technique required two swords of similar level. If the swords were of different levels, one heavy and one light, it would look like a theatrical performance.
Lin Nuo felt it was time to show his long-hidden dual-wielding technique.
Lin Nuo wielded the twin swords with both hands, moving smoothly and fluidly. The additional sword did not slow down his sword speed but allowed him to cover both sides.
Rocks and branches bore sword marks, and the sword wind swept the leaves on the ground.
At this moment, the immortal Zhaozhou, who had previously guided Su Kexin, passed by.
He saw Lin Nuo wielding the twin swords, each swing powerful and fluid, without any sloppiness.
He quietly watched Lin Nuo’s sword dance, smiling with satisfaction.
Lin Nuo just enjoyed himself for a while and then stopped.
Not bad, he felt he had already ascended to the height of Master Tong.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Zhaozhou, who had been watching from the side, clapped his hands and then walked towards Lin Nuo, “Brother Lin Nuo, I didn’t expect you to be proficient in the twin sword technique. This is the first time I’ve seen someone wield the swords of a Dao companion simultaneously. May I ask, would you be willing to spar with me using the twin sword technique?”
Zhaozhou’s sudden invitation surprised Lin Nuo.
“Alright.”
He still agreed.
