Chapter 1126: I Have Two Personalities
These two girls initially kept to their own paths, and according to usual plot development, even as fellow disciples, they would end up like strangers, not even greeting each other when they met after Su Kexin matured.
However, Lin Nuo’s presence created more intersections between them.
Of course, it was more about hate.
But in times of crisis, they would stand united against a common enemy.
Well, that’s a story for another time.
Right now, they looked like they wanted to fight to the death.
Enemies meeting, extra fiery tension, you know the drill.
Qin Shili charged in with an ice sword, the cold wind howling, while Su Kexin intercepted with the Phoenix Sword, and Lin Nuo’s Phoenix Shadow darted toward Su Kexin’s Sharp Sword, with the dual shadows of the phoenix sweeping through the air. The scene was quite spectacular.
Lin Nuo watched these two; they really had the makings of righteous heroes, but with so many innocent bystanders around, they were already throwing punches.
Seriously, you both are starting to look like villains.
One day, I should hand you a trophy for that.
Lin Nuo was no stranger to this familiar scene.
Somehow, he’d become the peacekeeper, rushing in with that broken sword to break up their scuffle.
What else could he do? Letting them duke it out? If this continued, Qin Shili would definitely have the upper hand, and then Su Kexin would explode, turning the tables on Qin Shili.
And trust me, when she explodes, there’s no reasoning behind it. Whoever provokes her, she’ll take them out.
Maybe I should just take down your old man, Su Lingjiang.
“Stop!”
Lin Nuo quickly dashed in with his sword, landing smoothly between the two of them.
Lucky!
In the blink of an eye, a strong wind erupted around him, forming a wind wall that temporarily blocked the two fighters.
Retreat!
Lin Nuo slapped the ground, releasing a surge of force that pushed them both back a bit.
At that moment, Su Lingjiang also flew down, worriedly taking in the scene.
His daughter was way too impulsive, not considering the situation. There were ordinary citizens nearby! Just landing could unintentionally cause harm to others!
However, this girl’s power was truly becoming astonishing, even able to summon the Sword Soul while flying on a sword.
Not bad, my Su Lingjiang’s daughter indeed.
“Kexin, hold on! Don’t go wild!”
Su Lingjiang quickly stopped Su Kexin, but she wasn’t having any of it, firing back:
“Dad, she attacked first! How could I just sit back and do nothing!”
“No matter what, your counterattack will definitely create a disturbance and hurt innocent people. Plus, you came down too hastily, and if you’re not careful, you could injure others.”
Su Lingjiang lectured Su Kexin, but she remained defiant:
“But Senior Martial Brother said it’s about right and wrong! I want to hear what he says!”
This struck a chord in Su Lingjiang’s heart. Has he lost all authority now? He can’t even discipline his daughter!
This Lin Nuo has stolen my daughter’s soul!
That kid, if he would just focus on my daughter, I might respect him. But he’s such a flirt, not knowing how many girls he’s tangled with, it’s infuriating.
What kind of spell has he cast on Kexin?
“Both of you, chill out! Stop arguing about who’s right and wrong.”
Lin Nuo sighed, having to mediate between them. Am I really going to be the villain acting as a peacemaker here?
“You, what’s going on? What grudge do you have with her?”
Lin Nuo turned to Qin Shili, who had just sheathed her sword, replying:
“Isn’t it because of you?”
“Me? I’m the one who told you two to fight?”
“Can’t you see your own actions? When you see her, it’s like you’re a guilty ghost, pushing me away with all your might! How can I not be furious?”
Qin Shili’s words dripped with a heavy sense of grievance, sounding like a wronged wife.
“How am I acting like a guilty ghost? Forget it.”
Lin Nuo was too tired to explain, would he really say he was worried about Su Kexin exploding?
Su Kexin had no idea about her demonic ability; how could he reveal that?
“If you don’t want to admit it, then you’re tacitly agreeing. This isn’t like you, Lin Nuo, being so hesitant. So tell me, am I at the bottom of your heart?”
“What on earth are you talking about…”
Lin Nuo felt helpless. What on earth is this woman rambling about?
“How did you come to this place? What’s the goal? If you’re here to pick a fight, leave. I’m busy today.”
Lin Nuo glanced over at Su Kexin, who locked eyes with him and suddenly became thrilled, bouncing over like she wanted to hug him.
“Stop right there! Don’t come any closer.”
Lin Nuo stepped back, unnerved. These protagonists can just waltz right up to the villain, their protagonist aura daring to overthrow him.
“Ah, Senior Martial Brother! I came to find you, definitely missing you~! What else could it be~?”
Su Kexin squinted her eyes and smiled, her love-struck brain interpreting every word Lin Nuo said as sweet.
“How did you find this place? Was it that Phoenix who tipped you off? Don’t come back with that thing.”
Lin Nuo pointed at the flying Phoenix, scolding it. But even so, he knew without it, his sword power would be halved; the harmony of Dragon and Phoenix Souls was what made this sword marvelous.
“Not at all. Dad said you visited the Qin family. He recognized where the remaining forces of the Qin family are, so he just took a shot at luck. Seems we really are fated, Senior Martial Brother, I found you right away.”
Su Kexin continued to smile, and Lin Nuo was at a loss for words. No matter how much he scolded her, she’d still smile.
Just like with Li Ruo’er.
So it was Su Lingjiang who guessed it.
Oh, Su Lingjiang is here too. I didn’t notice at first.
Well, seeing someone from the Su family puts my mind at ease; otherwise, I’d worry about her sneaking off to train without him noticing.
“Senior Martial Brother, don’t stay so far away! I can barely hear you!”
Su Kexin kept inching closer, eager to get close to Lin Nuo, but he continued to step back, maintaining a safe distance.
“You can hear me just fine; otherwise, how could you be responding? So spill it, what have you been through recently? I need to know.”
“Ha ha ha, thank you for your concern, Senior Martial Brother~!”
“… I’m not concerned about you…”
“Got it! Senior Martial Brother, you’re full of contradictions. A lot has happened recently, and I even had a dream about you. But I just found out, I actually have this very unusual ability.”
“Unusual ability?” Lin Nuo felt a bad premonition creeping in.
“Yeah. It seems like I have another personality, and in moments of life and death, she comes out to crush my enemies.” Su Kexin pouted a bit and said.
“Wha…”
Lin Nuo was dumbfounded. No way! This unusual ability is just your explosive power, right?
You know about it already, so aren’t you cheating the heavens? Go find some bosses, let them slash you a few times, and then boom, you explode into invincibility.
And I’m going to be the one getting GG’d.
“But Dad says that this personality shows up too often, it’ll erode my main personality, so I have to limit its use. Senior Martial Brother, what do you think?”
“Ah, right, right, right!”
Lin Nuo hurriedly agreed. Finally, Su Lingjiang said something sensible.
