Chapter 221: Only I Have Cultivated Together with the Young Master

Watching Zhao Zhou laugh non-stop, Lin Nuo was puzzled.

What’s so funny, really? This guy is just chuckling all day like a clown!

You mean this sword you’re talking about?

Well, that’s truly hilarious.

Lin Nuo suddenly realized that he had initially thought he could swagger around with the Phoenix Sword, without Su Kexin around.

But look at this—he ends up meeting Su Kexin in the mystical Zifeng Valley.

Su Kexin isn’t like him; she doesn’t stash the Phoenix Sword away. Instead, she destroyed her original sword to show that she only wields this Spirit Sword.

The Spirit Sword has its spirit, and she has been harmonizing with the Phoenix Sword, as if they could communicate. Now, the Phoenix Sword can sense her intentions, and they’re gradually building a bond.

This was extremely important for her—being able to sync with Lin Nuo required her to sync with the Spirit Sword first, so she worked hard at it.

As for Lin Nuo, he was resistant to syncing with the Phoenix Sword, but absurdly, he shared an amazing rapport with it, even higher than with his previous sword.

He seriously suspected the Phoenix Sword had tapped into his aura and formed a bond with him.

He had to admit, deep down he actually enjoyed using this sword. After all, soaring on it meant he wouldn’t crash, and he had overcome that fierce storm without breaking a sweat.

Dressed in white robes and wielding silver Spirit Swords, they looked quite the pair from the outside.

Unbeknownst to them, however, a villain and the protagonist were worlds apart; even though both Spirit Swords were outwardly silver, his was internally black.

Yes, pitch black—like a villain’s heart.

Dong Xiyan began to realize that Lin Nuo and Su Kexin were companions, and turned her gaze to Ruo’er, sensing a tangle in their relationships.

Dong Xiyan asked Su Kexin:

“Miss, may I ask, have you ever tried the method of dual cultivation?”

“Ah, dual cultivation…not yet…”

At this point, Su Kexin’s face flushed a bit. She had heard of dual cultivation, a balance of yin and yang between opposites, but didn’t know how it worked in practice.

Because she had never seen it, she was curious and began to fantasize. Still an innocent girl, her face turned red when thinking about it, and there was even a hint of shyness.

Ruo’er was exactly like that at first too, but her reaction gradually lessened and she even started asking Lin Nuo for dual cultivation.

Of course, Lin Nuo had chosen to decline, for the sake of his cultivation.

“Senior Immortal, why do you ask…”

“Oh, nothing, just a casual question.”

Dong Xiyan had learned some facts; it was strange for them not to have dual cultivated since companions usually did.

In contrast, Lin Nuo and Ruo’er, who weren’t companions, dual cultivated. Talk about a complicated relationship.

“Lin Gongzi and this lady hold the Phoenix Twin Swords, right? You two must be companions?”

“Ah, companions…not yet, haha, the senior is joking! I’m quite weak, unworthy of my senior brother. Just being able to train with him using the Phoenix Twin Swords and the Dual Dance Sword Technique makes me very satisfied,” Su Kexin laughed.

“Not yet doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.”

The other immortal Zhao Zhou chuckled, stroking his beard.

“They are still young, and Kexin’s foundation isn’t solid yet; she should focus on solidifying it. However, everyone grows eventually, and there are similar swords in the world like the Phoenix Twin Swords, like a red thread; who knows what the future might hold.”

“Senior Zhao, you flatter me…talking about companions is still early…”

Su Kexin’s face turned even redder, as she shyly covered her face.

Lin Nuo looked coldly at them.

Seriously, old immortal, if you had one peanut, you wouldn’t be this drunk! You’re talking nonsense even before dark!

Putting aside all grudges, Su Kexin is indeed a lovely girl. In his past life at Xuanyun Sect, he had once thought of pursuing her.

He wanted to pursue everyone, dreaming of having a harem, but as often happens, it fell apart.

Later, he learned he was destined to be a villain, resisting fate to reverse last life’s outcomes, creating a world where the villain triumphs over the protagonist.

This world needed to come into being first for his harem dreams; otherwise, all women would simply hinder his ideals.

It’s called being born of worries, dying of comfort.

Even if, hypothetically, he became companions with Su Kexin, there would be minor conflicts, squabbles are normal, but what if it escalated into a big issue? With one hit, she could send him to the afterlife.

How could one become a companion? That would be asking for death! It’s said whoever became her companion would meet their doom.

And then there’s Ling Meng, suggesting that these two become companions and harm each other.

At this moment, Ruo’er caught wind of something unbelievable—those Phoenix Twin Swords! Initially, she thought only her young master owned one but was astonished to find Su Kexin had one too.

And they were companion swords named Phoenix Twin Swords. How on earth could her young master share such a sword with her?

Perhaps their master forced it; it had to be for training, there shouldn’t be anything major about it.

Besides, it’s not like she had never dual cultivated with her young master—it’s only me, Ruo’er, who had dual cultivated with him, making me special!

“Master, Ruo’er will definitely do her best~!”

Ruo’er immediately clenched her little fist, determined.

She wouldn’t lose to Sister Kexin!

“I suggest, Senior, to arrange Ruo’er’s entry into the valley first.”

Lin Nuo quickly interrupted them. He had come here to drop Ruo’er off for school, yet they were talking about his companionship with Su Kexin—what a bizarre shift!

“Oh right, then follow me! I also need to report to other seniors.”

Dong Xiyan led Lin Nuo and Ruo’er away to meet other immortal seniors.

“Senior Brother, we’ll see each other later~”

Su Kexin waved continuously. Initially worried that coming to Zifeng Valley would be lonely, she thought since Senior Brother was here, she would have plenty of time with him.

Plus, the most crucial point—without two senior sisters around, no one would interrupt her date with Senior Brother!

Zifeng Valley is a beautiful place, filled with clear lakes and surrounded by immortal energy, refreshing and suitable for cultivation, especially for practicing the Dual Dance Sword Technique.

It felt like ages since they last trained in the Dual Dance Sword Technique; finally, she had an opportunity now.

Lin Nuo glanced back at Su Kexin, feeling a bit of a headache.

In Zifeng Valley, forget about taking out Su Kexin; it’s all immortals here. He would be lucky if they didn’t discover he concealed demonic arts!

Along the way, Lin Nuo saw many immortals, some being familiar faces.

Right, in his past life, these guys hunted him down; he had mercilessly wiped out some of them.

Of course, new faces outnumbered the old ones. In his impression, Zifeng Valley shouldn’t have so many immortals.

If he happened to stumble upon some major event that took out a bunch of immortals, he wouldn’t know, would he?

Not that it mattered to him.

“Master, did you know? There’s a place here perfect for dual cultivation~”

Ruo’er tugged at Lin Nuo’s sleeve, giggling.
