Chapter 1084: Two Personalities?

Lin Nuo had narrowly escaped death, using half a sword to slay the talking demon wolf. In a sense, he had also broken through, proving he could kill such a large demon wolf with his bare hands.

Strictly speaking, he had only dealt the final blow; the main damage came from Sister Su.

However, just when he thought it was all over, this girl in front of him seemed off.

It was hard to imagine she could effortlessly take down that massive demon wolf without so much as blinking.

In fact, she looked like she hadn’t blinked at all—her eyes were devoid of emotion, extremely cold.

What’s going on? Why is this girl so terrifying?

Could it be she wants to kill me?

She looked quite pretty, yet her inner darkness was so deep?

“Miss, what are you planning…?”

Lin Nuo began to back away, but he was injured and moving slowly. He couldn’t retreat fast enough to escape Su Kexin’s advance.

Before long, Su Kexin stood right in front of him, her gaze vacant, her expression cold, staring intently at Lin Nuo.

She raised the sharp sword in her hand, leaving a silhouette in the air.

Lin Nuo closed his eyes, thinking he was about to die; he didn’t even dare to look.

However, he was still conscious, and he hadn’t died.

Moreover, his body began to feel warmer, and the pain from the demon qi’s torment had dissipated.

What was happening?

Lin Nuo slowly opened his eyes and found the girl was no longer in front of him.

It wasn’t that she was gone; it was that she had collapsed.

Yes, she had fainted again.

What… is going on?

Lin Nuo was puzzled, this girl was too strange—she was about to strike him down, and now she had fainted again.

Though he had closed his eyes, he vaguely sensed that she had indeed swung her sword at him.

But she hadn’t aimed for his flesh; instead, she had struck the demon qi invading his body.

It seemed he was feeling better because of her.

Of course, that was just his guess, as he had his eyes shut and couldn’t confirm if it was truly her doing.

He thought that this girl was indeed terrifying; who knows, when she wakes up, she might try to slash him again.

What if he killed her now? Otherwise, when she wakes up, it might be him who ends up dead.

But he had survived thanks to her. If he turned around and stabbed her, he would be repaying kindness with cruelty.

The Xuanyun Sect wouldn’t teach him that; how could he possibly have such thoughts?

Lin Nuo hesitated, wondering if he should strike at this little girl now.

However, while he was hesitating, the girl woke up again.

Lin Nuo took one look and was startled, quickly retreating as if he had seen a ghost.

“W-What… where is this…?”

Su Kexin rubbed her drowsy eyes, her voice soft and weak as she discovered she was in an unfamiliar valley.

The current Su Kexin was vastly different from just now; she was now a cute little girl, looking harmless.

But Lin Nuo had already been shadowed by fear and completely dared not approach her.

“You, you are…?”

Su Kexin spotted Lin Nuo, but it seemed she was afraid of him.

Then she noticed the massive demon wolf lying dead beside her, blood pooling from its head, and Lin Nuo’s hands stained red.

Could it be that this brother killed the wolf?

“Sir, did you slay it?” Su Kexin asked.

“Huh? Wasn’t it you…? Strictly speaking, I killed it, but if it weren’t for you…”

Lin Nuo didn’t finish his sentence; it felt like this little girl was two different people, and she seemed to not remember what had just happened.

“Do you remember what just happened?” Lin Nuo asked.

“What just happened? Hm…”

Su Kexin scratched her head, trying hard to recall.

“I remember going up the mountain to gather herbs, then I accidentally fell down. That’s all I remember.”

“You really don’t recall?”

“Recall what? Did something happen?” Su Kexin looked confused.

“Fine then.”

Lin Nuo thought that if she had that kind of strength, there was no need for her to feign ignorance. If she wished to kill him, she could have just done it.

Could this little girl be suffering from split personality? Was she exhibiting another personality just now?

If she switched back to her previous personality, then he would be in danger!

It’d be best not to get too close; at the very least, when her personality changes, he would have room to escape.

“Sir, then that wolf was killed by you! How amazing! This wolf was so big, it must have been ferocious. Looking at your attire, are you a disciple of the Xuanyun Sect?”

Su Kexin gazed at Lin Nuo’s daoist robes, finding them somewhat familiar.

Currently, Lin Nuo was wearing these robes purposely to show the world he was from the Xuanyun Sect.

Back then, he was wholeheartedly aiming to become a hero.

Yet, he never imagined that after being reborn with demonic energy, he would toss his robes in a corner and not even want to wear them in Tianling Mountain.

“Yes, yes, I am a disciple of the Xuanyun Sect.”

Lin Nuo said proudly,

“I killed this wolf, so you can rest assured; it’s dead and won’t threaten us anymore.”

“Oh, thank you for saving me! I’m Su Kexin; I’m currently practicing martial arts with my father, aspiring to enter the Xuanyun Sect in the future. May I know your honorable name, sir?”

Su Kexin squinted her eyes and smiled. She looked very cute, her sweet smile even made Lin Nuo’s heart flutter a bit.

This little girl really is adorable.

It’s just a pity she has that terrifying personality.

But could this be destiny? Perhaps I, Lin Nuo, could help cure her dual personality disorder, and then we could have a fateful connection!

So I, Lin Nuo, did come with a protagonist template!

“My name is Lin Nuo. Miss Su, if you truly wish to join the Xuanyun Sect, I can surely recommend you to my master, though whether or not you can enter will depend on your potential and talent,” Lin Nuo replied.

“Oh, if that’s the case, I’m incredibly grateful! But I’m not very smart and lack comprehension; my father has taught me for a long time, but I’ve only grasped the basics. If possible, I’d like you to guide me, Lin Gongzi,” Su Kexin said with a light laugh.

“Of course, I can guide you.”

Lin Nuo nodded. Although he was a bit of a novice himself, it was more than enough to teach a little girl from a common background.

One-on-one teaching; who knows, maybe they’d hit it off?

“Hmm! Sir, your injuries…”

“It’s nothing.”

Lin Nuo was still putting on a brave face, even though it really hurt. It would be odd to say it didn’t hurt.

But in front of the girl, he had to display some of his masculine charm.

“Oh, okay! Sir, I’ve heard the Xuanyun Sect has a technique for flying with a sword. No matter how vast the world, one can reach anywhere they desire. Can you take me away using sword flight? My mother is waiting for me at home, and I’m worried she’ll be anxious if I return late.”

Su Kexin pleaded, leaving Lin Nuo speechless.

Flying with a sword? That kind of advanced technique was something he only dreamed about; he was merely a novice and wasn’t qualified to use it.

However, having already put on a show, admitting he couldn’t do it would be quite embarrassing.

Let’s just stall for time.

“Miss, it’s not that I don’t want to fly away on my sword. This wolf was ferocious, and I had a tough time killing it. I can’t fly someone on my sword just yet. Once I’ve recovered, then we can! In the meantime, we can look for other ways out.” Lin Nuo replied.
