Chapter 220: They Are Dao Partners

Chapter 220: They Are Dao Partners

In Zifeng Valley, a famous immortal valley in the Pu Han Empire, it is but one of many in the world.

Surrounded by clouds and filled with spiritual energy, everything in the valley possesses a celestial nature, a stark contrast to Tianling Mountain.

Lin Nuo thought that only those of status could come to Zifeng Valley, like himself, who came here openly and proudly.

However, he never expected to run into that woman in Zifeng Valley.

Yes, that woman—the terrifying woman.

“Young Master, let’s go greet sister~”

“Greet? Just pretend you didn’t see her.”

Just as Lin Nuo was about to pull Ruo’er back, she spotted him.

Dressed in light pink and white, her complexion like that of a peach blossom, her demeanor radiated the vivaciousness of youth.

Near the cliff stood the peach blossom girl, and as she swung down the Phoenix Sword, two Spirit Swords broke through the mist, falling beside the cliff.

The girl’s sparkling eyes locked onto the handsome young man in white at the cliff’s edge—he exuded heroism with every gesture.

“Ah?! It’s Senior Martial Brother! Senior Martial Brother is here!”

Seeing Lin Nuo arrive, Su Kexin was ecstatic, immediately halting her dancing with the Spirit Sword and rushing towards him.

Not only had Lin Nuo arrived, but so had his disciple Ruo’er.

Su Kexin and Ruo’er got along quite well since they were both innocent and uncomplicated, not to mention Su Kexin was eager to learn more about Lin Nuo, much of which she heard from Ruo’er.

Two naive girls getting along was fine; had they both been schemers, it would have turned into a meet-your-doom scenario.

“Senior Martial Brother, Senior Martial Brother! What brings you here?!”

Su Kexin ran up, getting uncomfortably close to Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo: “…”

Shouldn’t I be the one asking you? How are you so powerful, managing to arrive at Zifeng Valley?

Seriously, how old are you? You’re immortal already? Oh man, is there a chance for the villain to play?

So that’s why you vanished—turns out, you ran here.

How frightening—training in Zifeng Valley? Are you trying to defy heaven?

Oh, seems like you are trying to defy heaven, never mind then.

“Elder Sister Kexin, Dong Xiyan said my talent is great, so she brought me here to cultivate and become an immortal. Young Master came along to support my cultivation, but he’s not here to cultivate~ Where is elder sister, then?”

Ruo’er shook her large ears and asked.

“As for me, an old friend of my father is an immortal here, and he has deep ties with me. He said he could bring me here to change my environment and perhaps gain some enlightenment to improve my cultivation. I also asked my master and the sect leader for permission, and they agreed, so here I am.”

“Then elder sister, are you trying to become an immortal too~?” Ruo’er continued to smile and ask.

“I wish I could, but I’m not as lucky as you, Ruo’er. My talent isn’t enough. Even though my father’s old friend is an immortal, he can only teach me some slightly higher techniques, and I’ll have to endure some extra trials. He won’t share the path of becoming an immortal with me; that’s the rule in Zifeng Valley.”

Su Kexin sighed lightly, seemingly envious of Ruo’er.

Lin Nuo shot her a glance.

Well, well, thoroughly full of herself—would this be seen as you intentionally bragging?

Don’t worry, even if Ruo’er has good roots and qualifications, she can’t compare to your impressive constitution, Kexin. When you unleash your potential, even immortals are left in the dust.

For Lin Nuo, this wasn’t too bad; with Su Kexin’s lack of talent, even coming to Zifeng Valley wouldn’t put her on the path of immortality.

It’s true, if she had stepped onto the path of immortality earlier, he wouldn’t have ended up the world-destroying monster; she would have knocked him out ages ago.

Ruo’er and Su Kexin held hands, chatting happily like a pair of vibrant lilies.

At that moment, another immortal walked over. He had no artifacts in hand, his hands resting behind his waist as he came closer gently.

This immortal appeared to be about thirty, sporting a long beard and emanating a mature composure with a warm smile.

“Dong Xiyan, I heard you found a good seedling, I’m here to congratulate you.”

“Thank you, but I should also congratulate you for finding a good seedling.”

“That’s not quite true; I would love to take Kexin along to train, but realistically, it’s not allowed.”

The male immortal was somewhat sentimental; he had done his utmost by bringing Su Kexin here, but her insufficient talent meant she could not step onto the path of immortality. Forcing her cultivation would benefit neither.

This male immortal was the one who brought Su Kexin to Zifeng Valley, an old friend of her father named Zhao Zhou. He had become an immortal only after withstanding many trials alongside Su Kexin’s father.

“Senior Zhao, this is my Senior Martial Brother I mentioned before, Lin Nuo!”

Su Kexin hurriedly introduced Lin Nuo to Zhao Zhou. She had meant to introduce them someday but didn’t expect it to be today.

Zhao Zhou sized Lin Nuo up with a kind smile:

“Hello, young brother Lin Nuo. Kexin often speaks highly of you; meeting you today, you truly have an imposing aura and the spirit of a youthful hero. You will surely achieve great things in the future.”

“…”

You, immortal, are you from the land of curses? Is cursing people a natural greeting?

“Lin Nuo pays respect to Senior Immortal.”

Lin Nuo formally bowed. It was essential to observe basic etiquette in another’s territory.

“Young brother came to cultivate with Dong Xiyan, I presume?”

“He’s not.”

Dong Xiyan interjected,

“The one cultivating is this little fox clan girl; he’s her young master, here specifically to watch her train.”

“Then how did young brother arrive here? Did you come on a shared sword?” Zhao Zhou asked.

“Not at all; he arrived on his own sword.”

“Hmm? Young brother possesses remarkable strength!”

Zhao Zhou stroked his beard and continued smiling,

“Near Zifeng Valley, there exists a wind surge; unless one rides alongside an immortal, it’s perilous to enter, even risking one’s life. Young brother could arrive by yourself on your sword, as Kexin said, indeed impressive!”

Lin Nuo felt puzzled.

You might not believe it, but I just zipped right through that wind surge; why? I don’t really know either.

“Hmm? Young brother, your sword… oh, now I get it, hilarious, being young is wonderful!”

“Zhao Zhou, you can see this sword isn’t ordinary, yes?”

Seeing Zhao Zhou suddenly laugh louder, Dong Xiyan immediately asked.

“The sword is indeed extraordinary, but with a pair of swords, it becomes an unprecedented existence. Dong Xiyan, you may not know, this is the Phoenix Twin Swords, suitable for dao partners. The sword’s power comes from the synergy between the wielders, capable of slaying demons and cutting through divine beings.”

“Phoenix Twin Swords? So, there’s another sword that matches it?”

“Far away yet close by—Kexin’s sword is the matching one in her hands.”

Dong Xiyan and Zhao Zhou’s gazes fell on Su Kexin, and her sword indeed bore a resemblance to Lin Nuo’s.

Oh, understood! So they are dao partners!
