There's Something Wrong With This Account

She didn’t expect that the one occupying the squat toilet without using it was her own teacher!

Although Mao Nanbei was somewhat unrestrained in her usual days, she always held the principle of respecting teachers and would not make mistakes in this regard. She immediately covered her little mouth with both hands, indicating, “I’ll keep quiet.”

The teacher looked at the astonished crowd, cleared his throat lightly, then nodded in satisfaction.

Feigning as if he hadn’t been choked by the tea, he raised a finger, picked up the teacup again, took a small sip, and said:

“The knowledge that I have acquired is quite miscellaneous, and I also have some insights into knife techniques, so there is no need for you to be surprised.”

Lu Xun thought to himself, “Here it comes, the most common modesty that is just showing off!”

At the same time, Lu Xun found another strange thing.

His Sword Fate could buff the sword cultivators nearby. The teacher admitted he had Knife Luck, so why didn’t Mao Nanbei, as a knife repairer, sense it?

Is it because Knife Luck can’t buff knife repair?

After pondering for a while, Lu Xun asked, “Teacher, after the Sword Fate is applied to me, it seems to affect the sword cultivators nearby. About this Knife Luck…”

The teacher waved his hand and said, “Your situation is the normal one. Mine is a little special, and there’s no need to mention it.”

Seeing that the teacher didn’t want to elaborate, Lu Xun didn’t press further.

The old man has lived for God knows how many years, it’s normal for him to have some untold secrets or mysteries.

At this moment, Lu Xun was actually looking forward to the day when the teacher will use his knife.

“I wonder what kind of spectacular scene it will be?” he thought to himself.

…

…

The tea ceremony at the back mountain ended after an hour.

The teacher had his own biological clock. When he had nothing to do, he would go back to his room and rest as soon as it reached the time, just like he was going to bed for beauty sleep.

As soon as the teacher left, a sword light flashed in the bamboo forest. It was the return of ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ and the Sword Sheath.

Even though Lu Xun had said that everyone could go their own way back to the sect, he had been back at the back mountain for the whole day, so ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ and the Sword Sheath naturally couldn’t stay outside the sect for too long.

It was obvious that after spending some time alone together, the bond between the sword and the sword sheath had heated up quickly, and they even staged a drama of reluctant farewell in the bamboo forest.

Oh, this dog food is really hard to swallow.

In the end, the Sword Sheath returned to Lu Xun’s hand, and ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ casually floated back to the summit of Hidden Mountain.

“Shall we also go back to our rooms?” Lu Xun looked at the women and spoke.

Wow, saying such words to four women, seems pretty awesome.

However, to be honest, Lu Xun had stayed so long down the mountain that he hadn’t been able to have a good sleep during this time.

Although at his level, it didn’t really matter whether he slept or not, but truth be told, having a good sleep was a great pleasure and could bring him a sense of joy.

With the teacher in the back mountain, this was the safest place in the world, where Lu Xun could rest without any guard, relax his nerves which had been tense during this period.

The one man and four women didn’t choose to fly, but strolled leisurely towards the Small Study on the mountain top.

The magical fireflies at the back mountain were flying around, acting as the street lights.

Mao Nanbei kept jumping up to scare the fireflies and clinging to Lu Xun, she never rested.

After they arrived at the Small Study, everyone went back to their own rooms.

Lu Xun had just taken off his black cloak, only wearing an inner shirt, when he heard a faint knock on the door.

He could sense that the one standing outside the door was Little Chan.

Due to his own uniqueness and the changes brought by the Sword Cultivating Technique, there was a faint connection between him and Lin Chan, the Natural Sword Embryo, in the obscure.

Therefore, the mutual perception between the master and apprentice was extremely sharp.

Lu Xun got up, opened the door, and saw Lin Chan lowering her little head, her eyes firmly fixed on her own toes.

She didn’t have Ji Li’s inherent gift in some areas, Ji Li would lower her head and couldn’t see her toes.

Lu Xun stretched out his hand to Lin Chan and asked with a smile, “Little Chan, what do you need from your Master?”

The Little Mute extended her index finger and began to write in Lu Xun’s palm.

This was the unique way the master-disciple pair communicated, which had been in place since the very first day she became his disciple.

“Master, do you need me to assist you in cultivating?” Lin Chan wrote in Lu Xun’s palm.

Her fingertip slid across his palm, it was cold and ticklish.

This shy and innocent girl was so soft and gentle even when writing on his palm, barely putting any pressure.

Lu Xun glanced at Lin Chan, thought for a moment, then nodded, “Okay, I’ve recently broken through several realms and should have a lot of residual power left in my body. I’ll need you to distribute it using the Sword Cultivating Technique.”

He wasn’t actually in a hurry to enhance his physical body because unless it was a direct breakthrough, the improvement from 10% Superior Spirit Sword to 20% wasn’t too noticeable.

However, he knew that Lin Chan always felt there wasn’t much she could do to help the Master. So when it came to assisting during cultivation, she was particularly keen.

After sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Xun patted the bed and said, “Come here, sit down.”

“Okay.” Little Chan replied in her heart, then came over with her head down and sat before Lu Xun.

There wasn’t much light in the room, making the whole environment slightly dim. This gave the two, seated close together, a hazy feeling.

Lin Chan had always possessed the charm of a girl-next-door. Now, instinctively lowering her head, she gave the impression of a blossoming flower waiting to bloom.

Lu Xun raised his two palms and calmly said, “Let’s begin.”

Lin Chan nodded firmly, then raised her hands, pressing them tightly against Lu Xun’s palms.

While Lu Xun felt nothing, Lin Chan was lost in thought for several seconds.

“It’s…it’s that weird feeling again.” She thought to herself.

Her sensitive little ears turned red in an instant. Lu Xun, with his eyes closed, didn’t notice.

“Calm down, calm down, calm down…” After repeating it several times in her heart, Lin Chan finally calmed down and performed the Sword Cultivating Technique, guiding the power within Lu Xun’s body.

The power dispersed in various places was slowly absorbed by Lu Xun’s body as the Sword Cultivating Technique was performed.

Time passed second by second, and it took half an hour for his body to fully absorb these powers.

Lu Xun opened his character panel to check. He found that his physical status had risen to 41.7% Superior Spirit Sword.

“Very good, very good.” He was very pleased.

After opening his eyes and slowly lowering four palms, Lu Xun looked at Lin Chan and asked curiously, “Little Chan, why are your ears so red?”

He wasn’t aware that her ears had been red for over half an hour.

Under Lu Xun’s gaze, Lin Chan, like a startled little rabbit, didn’t dare to sit on the bed anymore. She quickly stood up, her head down and stood aside.

Before, she could be certain that her wish to assist her Master in cultivation was pure, she simply wanted to do something for her Master, nothing more.

But now, she knew, it wasn’t just that anymore.

She now had some “ulterior motives”.

Although she was very reluctant to admit it, she indeed had some “unacceptable” thoughts.

— She wanted to be in touch with her Master.

She enjoyed the process of assisting in the cultivation.

In the silence of the night, Little Mute, with her head hung low and her ears red, heard her heart beating like thunder.

“Thump!”

“Thump!!”

“Thump!!!”

The sound was so loud, so intense, like the chattering of cicadas in midsummer.
