The Prodigies War-Chapter 2907 Senior Sister Comes to Visit

Lin Xun immediately stopped. In fact, he never intended to kill Cang Zhenkun anyway as it was unnecessary.

In the distance, Cang Zhenkun wobbly stood up. He panted heavily, his hair disheveled, and his face was as white as a translucent ghost. He looked at Lin Xun with incredulity pasted on his dim face.

“Fellow Daoist, since you’ve lost, it's time to honor your promise and of course the oath you've just sworn.” Xuan Feiling smiled.

“Don’t worry, I'm not one to go back on my word.” Cang Zhenkun snorted as his gaze was fixed on Lin Xun. “You might think my warning earlier is a threat, but if you are not scared of death, then feel free to try leaving the Origin Sect.”

Dropping these words, he left. There was nothing for it; he didn't know how his old face could endure the shame if he stayed any longer.

Watching him depart, Xuan Feiling commented, “Looks like the Ninth Heaven Domain really might have quite a number of old fogeys staring at you.”

Lin Xun said, “Nothing to fear. So long as they don’t come in their true flesh, there’s no need to care.”

Xuan Feiling glanced at Lin Xun with a strange look. “If my identity wasn’t in the way, I would have wanted to test your true depths myself.”

Lin Xun flashed him a friendly smile and invited, “Dao debates don't care about status. Senior, why don’t we take this opportunity and have a spar?”

Xuan Feiling’s head shook like a rattle drum. “Should I win, it’s bullying the small and an unfair win. And should I lose, it’s even worse. I won’t be able to raise my head in front of you for the rest of my life.”

Lin Xun egged on, “Don’t worry about that, I promise I won't tell anyone else.”

Xuan Feiling walked away. “I won’t fall for it, you crafty kid.”

Lin Xun smiled and followed him back.

......

The first thing Lin Xun did after returning to the sect was find Fang Daoping. Due to the latter's close relationship with Spirit Venerable Qing Yun, Lin Xun wanted to ask for his help in delivering a message to the Spirit Sect in order to poke around for news of Third Senior Sister Ruo Su.

When Fang Daoping heard Lin Xun’s intention, he agreed. On the same day, a message was sent from the Origin Sect.

After accomplishing this, Lin Xun directly returned to Origin Sky Mountain and looked for Xuan Jiuyin and Jintian Xuanyue. Only after having a meal with them did he return to his cave haven.

However, when it was time to enter meditation, he grew a little distracted. He stared blankly into space for a while and finally let out a soft sigh.

During his talk with them over the meal, Jintian Xuanyue had appeared as usual, but Lin Xun still keenly noticed that her feelings for him not only hadn't diminished but instead had become even more determined.

Or rather, she had become accustomed to it. When a woman became accustomed to silently holding someone dear, one could imagine how strong and firm those feelings were.

Lin Xun was not a blockhead, he had long been aware of Jintian Xuanyue’s special affection for him. She just had never said it out loud, always carefully hiding her love in her heart. Perhaps for her, it didn't matter if she never got it, and that keeping and tending to it in her heart was already enough. However, that affection made Lin Xun feel ashamed.

Back then, Jintian Xuanyue was the number one goddess of White Emperor Star Field. She had a noble temperament and great splendor, but she had always accompanied him like a maid. She was sensible, cultured, and dutiful to her role next to him.

Together, they had gone through many storms and tribulations. Even after a long separation, he could always feel her unwavering feelings when they finally met again.

Such infatuation was unobtrusive. It was concealed from view, restrained, careful, and steadfast. It was as if even if he failed her for the rest of her life, she wouldn’t change the slightest bit.

Even until now, Lin Xun had been acting like he was oblivious to it, never positively giving any response. How could he not be ashamed?

Originally, he had thought that time could wash away all this, that as the times they met gradually decreased, Jintian Xuanyue would learn to let go. Now, however, he realized that she refused to loosen her hold on that love. She had already integrated it into her very own habits!

“Riding on drunken courage, only to see one's beloved horse has been hurt upon waking. Being smug with the ability to win women's hearts, only to feel uneasy about letting them down...” Lin Xun muttered, “Feigning ignorance risks turning falsehood into truth. I must do something and stop dragging it on like this.”

......

Around the same time, Xuan Jiuyin was glaring at Jintian Xuanyue with frustration and disappointment. “That was a good opportunity to make advances just now, Miss Xuanyue! Why did you suddenly turn into a mouthless gourd?”

Jintian Xuanyue had a different opinion. She smiled it off. “I can't put Young Master in a difficult situation. Otherwise, what would I do if it makes him distance himself from me?”

Xuan Jiuyin lamented, "But continuing like this isn't a good idea either, right? How about I tell him for you?"

Jintian Xuanyue said, “If you do that, I promise I will disappear from this world.”

She looked determined.

Xuan Jiuyin was speechless for a good moment. "It’s really curious, what’s so good about Lin Xun that makes you condescend yourself like this? And what's with your ‘not putting him on the spot’ attitude? If this goes on, how can he ever know how you actually feel? Simply...incomprehensible!"

Jintian Xuanyue laughed. Her picturesque face was like the petals of a beautiful flower after the rain. “You wouldn't understand, so just leave it alone. I'm content as long as I get to see him every now and then.”

Toward the end, she revealed a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.

“Unbelievable!” Xuan Jiuyin was so angry that he twisted his body and stormed off.

“Where are you going?” asked Jintian Xuanyue.

“To cultivate, what else? I'm going to attain immortality as soon as possible so that I don’t have to be trapped in this shit-hole of a place every day,” Xuan Jiuyin said without looking back.

Only when she was finally alone did Jintian Xuanyue reveal a hint of melancholy. She knew her heart, and she didn't want it revealed. That was all, nothing else.

......

For the following time, Lin Xun passed his days leisurely. Apart from meditating and cultivating, his time was spent on chatting, having meals, and hanging out with Xia Zhi.

Nowadays, the Origin Sect knew of Xia Zhi as his disciple, and since her appearance had already been disguised, it didn’t cause much of a stir.

When Lin Xun was with her, his heart was at peace and firm, as if nothing else in the world could concern him. Half a month went by like that.

On this day, Fang Daoping visited.

“Lin Xun, I have good news,” he said as soon as he saw Lin Xun. “Your third senior sister is here.”

Lin Xun was stunned. “Where?”

Fang Daoping said, “She just arrived at the central hall.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Lin Xun cupped his fist.

“Go quickly.” Fang Daoping smiled. He could tell that Lin Xun was excited.

In the grand central hall, a delicate and graceful figure stood. Her clothes were simple, and her hair bun was fixed with a wooden hairpin. She was beautiful from appearance to posture, and her skin was so fair that she glistened. She looked gentle as she stood quietly.

On sensing Lin Xun approaching the hall, she twirled around and greeted with a smile, “Long time no see, lil’ Junior Brother.”

Her voice was as soft as water, and her expression was nothing but amiable. It was none other than his third senior sister, Ruo Su.

Lin Xun couldn’t hold back his excitement. “Senior Sister, you're actually here in person?”

A few days ago, he had sent a message for her to the Spirit Sect through Fang Daoping. To think that she appeared in the Origin Sect today. How could Lin Xun not be surprised?

Ruo Su maintained a slight smile on her lips as she said, “Talking through messages is inconvenient after all, so it's better I come to see you in person.”

“Please be seated.” Lin Xun came up and personally served her tea.

His mind was taken back to the first time they met. It was in the Mythical Huang Dao Court, one of the Great Six Courts in the Ancient Nebula Road. At that time, Ruo Su arrived just when he was being bullied by Emperor Fire Spirit, and uttering a single word, she threw Emperor Fire Spirit down from the high clouds. The latter ended up in a sorry state and lost all face!

In the entire Fangchun Mountain, Third Senior Sister was undoubtedly the most popular. Even one as unruly as the fourth senior brother had nothing but respect when he spoke of her. When the other brothers and sisters mentioned her, they displayed nothing but amity.

Lin Xun was naturally no exception.

After Lin Xun sat down, Ruo Su smiled. “I’ve heard a lot about what you’ve been doing in the Origin Sect. Even I didn’t expect that you’d progress so quickly.”

Lin Xun laughed, “Your progress is equally not small.”

He could tell at a glance the surging aura belonging to the peak of the Transcendence Stage around her. It was as complete as the full moon above the sea, smooth and unblemished.

Ruo Su continued, “This time, I came here with something else to discuss with you.”

Lin Xun nodded, his expression becoming serious.

“In your message, you asked me about the situation of our fellow Fangchun Mountain disciples. Regarding this, I can assure you that whether it’s those of us in the Spirit Sect or those who are trapped in Taiyu True Realm like Eldest Senior Brother, their lives are not in any danger.”

Ruo Su’s voice was soft, transmitting a power that calmed the heart, “However, the situation in the world has been changing too quickly in the recent years, many of those changes even I didn’t anticipate. As such, it's bound to pose unexpected threats to us members of Fangchun Mountain.”

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

Ruo Su added, “Speaking of which, all these variables are related to you, Junior Brother.”

Lin Xun was stunned. “How so?”

Ruo Su said, “After the Immortal Dao Battle in the Ten Directions Demon Realm came to an end, not only was the Eighth Heaven Domain thrown into shock, but in the Ninth Heaven Domain, there was also an uproar amongst the Eternal Divine Clans.

“The reason was that a Divine Rank law targeted by the four major Eternal Divine Clans of Cang, Ji, Wen, and Yuan ended up falling into your hands.

"Possessing a Divine Rank law is the same as holding the opportunity to establish an Eternal Divine Clan of your own. In the Ninth Heaven Domain, there are many Divine clans, but only twelve can be called ‘Eternal Divine.’ Who of them could accept a new Eternal Divine Clan out of the blue?"

Hearing this, Lin Xun instantly had a rough grasp. "The problem is not actually me but the treasure in my possession. Those Eternal Divine Clans have a grudge against me because I obtained that Divine Rank law."

Ruo Su said, “That’s more or less the story. If that Divine Rank law had fallen into anyone else's hands, those Eternal Divine Clans would have no worry about seizing it.

“But it has ended up in the hands of a Fangchun Mountain disciple, and someone with the Eternal Supreme foundation that has never been seen before on top of that.

“As a result, those Eternal Divine Clans had to take this matter seriously. To be exact, they are already unable to sit still!”
