Chapter 1125: Found the Senior Martial Brother!

Chapter 1125: Found the Senior Martial Brother!

After leaving the inn, Lin Nuo hurried on the road with Qin Shili and the others.

After all, he had promised to deliver them to their destination, no matter what.

According to the normal script, without any mishaps, he should have already dropped Qin Shili off and then gone back to find Ruo’er.

But who would have thought he suddenly blacked out after a long time and ended up dreaming for three days straight?

What a dizzying experience! Fighting a Mage like Liang Zhao or the Ice Dragon shouldn’t have knocked him out for this long.

Now, he was rushing ahead, and it was obvious to Qin Shili that Lin Nuo was anxious.

“It seems her place in your heart is truly unshakeable,” Qin Shili finally broke the silence after a while.

“Who?”

“Who do you think?”

“I believe I’ve mentioned this before.”

“Yes, but I still hope to hear something different from you. Hope is a fragile thing, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Haven’t you said we should always hold on to hope?”

“You’re right.”

Lin Nuo gave Qin Shili a thumbs-up as a form of encouragement.

“You’re being dismissive.”

Qin Shili let out a light sigh, feeling helpless, but it didn’t change his attitude at all.

She still needed him to rescue her, which meant she was still a burden to him.

How could she become someone unforgettable and irreplaceable in his heart?

It was too difficult, harder than mastering any transcendent technique.

Without realizing it, Lin Nuo and the others had already reached their destination. He could split his sword into multiple blades now, allowing for swift travel as he led them efficiently.

He was pondering that if he truly didn’t walk the path of darkness, what was a Sword Saint compared to him?

Alright, alright! If he hadn’t fallen into darkness, that wouldn’t have been the case; he would have long become an NPC and met his demise.

“Alright, we’ve arrived.”

Lin Nuo halted his sword technique, allowing Qin Shili’s subordinates to disembark. Upon seeing them, they were incredibly excited:

“Lord Qin! It’s Lord Qin! And Lady Qin! Quick, come greet them!”

The subordinates rushed over to welcome Qin Zhu and the others, relieved that their master was safe.

“Are you leaving?”

Qin Shili suddenly turned to Lin Nuo and grasped his hand.

“Yes, I have to go. Just let go of my hand,” Lin Nuo nodded, not saying much. Let her handle the part of letting go herself.

“You can shake me off; that way, I’ll lose hope faster. But if you want me to let go, I can’t do it.”

Qin Shili said, still not letting go of Lin Nuo’s hand, squeezing it just a bit as if it were better than nothing.

However, she was worried that he might suddenly shake her off, which would truly be self-inflicted misery.

Lin Nuo attempted to gently pull his hand away from hers, but Qin Shili was holding on tight, requiring him to exert some effort.

“Why are you doing this? Hm?”

Suddenly, Lin Nuo realized something and looked up at the sky.

Wait a second, is that…?

Isn’t that Su Kexin?

Goodness, and she brought her father along!

What is up with this situation? Are they here to take his life?

Oh wait, are they here to take his pretty boy life instead?

Fighting here would just bring trouble to the Qin family.

Speaking of, he was the main character; didn’t he consider others’ lives? And now he’s left for me, the villain, to ponder?

This is upside down! Shouldn’t we switch places? Why don’t you take on the role of the villain?

“Who is it? Hm? What are they here for?”

Qin Shili also noticed Su Kexin and Su Lingjiang approaching on their swords. At this point, holding Lin Nuo’s hand was the least of her worries; she practically leaped into his arms.

“What are you doing?!”

Lin Nuo was startled; Qin Shili suddenly jumping into his arms was becoming quite excessive and was really putting him in a tough spot.

He couldn’t just send her flying, could he?

Meanwhile, Su Kexin and Su Lingjiang soaring above had also spotted Lin Nuo.

“Dad, there he is! Just as you said!”

Su Kexin spotted Lin Nuo from a distance, excitement coursing through her. If she weren’t on a flying sword right now, she’d be bouncing around!

But who’s in Lin Nuo’s arms…?

Is that Qin Shili?!

Upon seeing her, Su Kexin’s joy turned to fury. What’s going on? What are they doing?!

Brother! Brother! Don’t you know how much I missed you? How can you be all lovey-dovey with this woman?

She must have crossed the line, this shameless woman, always clinging to her brother!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she intensified her spirit power as the Phoenix Sword beneath her manifested a flurry of phoenix shadows, diving down rapidly.

Lin Nuo looked up and realized she wasn’t coming just to fight; she was flying down with intense phoenix energy!

Is she serious? It’s getting real! I can split my sword into many parts, but I can’t create phoenix shadows!

In terms of swordplay, you’ve got me beat!

Grinding his teeth, Lin Nuo decided not to just sit back and take it.

It was time to engage in battle.

Once the notion of fighting entered his mind, Lin Nuo’s focus sharpened, and he swiftly pushed Qin Shili away.

Qin Shili was startled. Lin Nuo pushing her away was far too sudden! There wasn’t even a hint of warning!

Does this man have no compassion at all?

Or did he just push her away because he felt guilty seeing Su Kexin coming?

Am I not as good as Ruo’er? Am I not as good as Su Kexin?!

Qin Shili started to get angry as an intense cold aura began to emanate from her.

Seeing this, Qin Zhu shouted to his subordinates:

“You all, hurry up and leave! An enemy might have shown up!”

“Ah, an enemy! My lord, come with us!”

The subordinates panicked; their already weakened forces had just stabilized, and now they faced another enemy?

It must truly be an enemy, or why would the young lady have such strong hostility?!

They scrambled to escape, while Su Kexin surpassed Su Lingjiang, landing first.

Whoosh!

Upon landing, a strong wind swept through, the phoenix shadows swirling around Su Kexin as she raised her head to the sky and shouted.

At the same time, the phoenix shadow from Lin Nuo’s sword flew out upon hearing the call of the phoenix.

Lin Nuo thought, good heavens, what a traitor.

Is it you who leaked the news?!

This could very well be an insider.

What if they’ve even managed to sway that dragon onto their side?

These two seem like they’d form a wicked alliance.

“Senior Martial Brother, Senior Martial Brother! You really are here! This is amazing! I can finally see you! Do you know how much I missed you?!”

Su Kexin dismounted from the sword, ecstatic, and dashed straight toward Lin Nuo, wanting to give him a big hug.

“Stop! Don’t come any closer!”

Though Lin Nuo brandished his sharp sword, he wouldn’t dare to strike at her. She was a natural counter to him, and he had yet to figure out how to break her abilities.

Even in his dreams, he couldn’t manage that.

At most, he could break through a barrier or two in his dreams.

“Senior Martial Brother, what are you doing? Ah, are you being threatened by that woman?”

Suddenly, Su Kexin had an epiphany just as Qin Shili prepared to launch her attack on her.
