Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 210 – Where did the moon come from?

Leng Feiyan was caught off guard by this sudden move.

Lin Jichen seemed not to have learned his lesson from last time, still so bold.

Of course, this time he had more confidence.

A 55-point affection level was his confidence.

Their relationship was already quite special, and besides, he was just holding her hand, not doing anything too outrageous.

Like stealing his master's underwear or something.

Before Leng Feiyan could react, Lin Jichen held her delicate hand, his face full of sorrow.

"So, all departures are premeditated. Master, are you also planning to leave me?"

Leng Feiyan: "????"

Seeing Lin Jichen's sorrowful expression, Leng Feiyan couldn't help but explain, "I'm not leaving you, just going into seclusion for a while."

"Really?" Lin Jichen's eyes were clear, full of emotion, without any pretense.

Leng Feiyan believed him, smiling as she said, "Of course it's true. How could I bear to... I mean, how could I leave you?"

Realizing she had misspoken, Leng Feiyan's face turned even redder, looking stunningly beautiful, almost making Lin Jichen lose his composure.

"Master, be careful during your seclusion. I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes, even if it takes forever, even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble! I will wait for you!"

Leng Feiyan's heart fluttered at his heartfelt words, feeling a bit flustered.

"I'm only going into seclusion for a short while, it won't be too long."

"But have you ever heard of 'not seeing each other for a day feels like madness'?" Lin Jichen asked.

Leng Feiyan's gaze turned adorably blank for a moment, then her eyebrows trembled slightly as she said, "I... understand..."

After speaking, she quietly withdrew her hand.

Ever since her disciple crossed his tribulation, she always felt that he was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, especially when he looked at her so affectionately, making it hard for her to resist.

Just as Lin Jichen was about to intensify his efforts, he heard a pleasant notification sound.

[Ding! Leng Feiyan's affection level for you +5! Current affection level: 60 points (Intimate)]

Hehe! Finally gained some more affection points!

He just wanted to make one last effort before his master went into seclusion to see if he could increase it a bit more.

Sure enough, his Alluring Bone was really useful. Normally, the higher the affection level, the harder it is to increase.

With the Alluring Bone, it seemed much easier.

Sixty points, sixty points!

With a bit more effort, once it surpasses seventy, he could... ahem...

"After I go into seclusion, you must be careful, understand? Don't get too attached to the mortal world, don't let playthings ruin your ambition, and definitely don't flirt around. Got it? And don't get involved with any royal princesses or female cultivators from the Medical Sect."

Leng Feiyan warned him with a half-smile.

Lin Jichen felt a bit guilty and quickly nodded, "Master, don't worry. Besides waiting for you, I have no other thoughts!"

Leng Feiyan was finally satisfied.

Even though it was just a short seclusion, neither master nor disciple wanted to part.

"Disciple," Leng Feiyan suddenly called.

"I'm here, Master." Lin Jichen answered, and a secret manual and a talisman appeared before him.

"I will be in seclusion for about a month. Take this secret manual and magic treasure."

Lin Jichen was overjoyed. As expected, the surprises Leng Feiyan gave him were never just a 'feast'!

But Leng Feiyan continued, "I have two tasks for you."

"Please instruct me, Master. Even if I have to go through fire and water, I won't frown."

"The first task is that in a few days, it will be the birthday of Ji Hongyue from the Hidden Dragon Royal Family. He has invited various sects to attend the banquet. You will go on my behalf."

"No problem, Master!" Lin Jichen thought it would be a tough task, but it turned out to be a chance to eat and drink.

Seeing his relaxed expression, Leng Feiyan said softly, "Don't bring any princesses back to the Sword Sect."

Lin Jichen felt a chill down his spine and quickly said, "How could that be! I've already forgotten what the princess looks like, I wouldn't dare."

Leng Feiyan didn't say whether she believed him or not, and continued seriously, "The second task is that to the east of the Sword Sect, at the border of Mu Xian Province, there is a branch of our sect called the Sword Pavilion. Yesterday, for some unknown reason, we lost contact with them. I feel something is amiss. Go and investigate, but if things are beyond your control, don't act recklessly."

"I will remember!" Lin Jichen was startled. He knew about the Sword Pavilion; wasn't that where the second Great War between the righteous and demonic sects took place?

Sure enough, the plot was accelerating!

"Alright, just complete these two tasks and return." Leng Feiyan said.

Lin Jichen was reluctant to leave.

The thought of not seeing his fairy-like master for half a month or even a month made his heart itch like it was being scratched by a cat.

"Um... Master, when will you go into seclusion?"

"Tomorrow. I need to instruct the senior uncles to manage the Sword Sect well and handle some sect affairs." Leng Feiyan replied.

"Then there's still some time. Master, would you like to go see the moon with me? It's very round tonight!" Lin Jichen invited.

Leng Feiyan looked out the window at the night sky, smiling as she asked, "Where's the moon?"

Lin Jichen turned his head and saw nothing but dark clouds. It looked like it would rain tomorrow, not a single star in sight.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Never mind, I'll just go back then."

He turned to leave.

But Leng Feiyan's voice came from behind.

"Forget about the moon, but we can enjoy the mountain breeze. If you have any questions about cultivation, I can answer them for you."

Lin Jichen was delighted, "Great! That's wonderful!"

Soon, the two of them appeared on a mountain peak.

This was the highest peak of the Taiyin Mountain Range. Standing here, the sky seemed within reach.

From here, they could even see the brightly lit Fengqu City at night.

Even though the two places were nearly a hundred miles apart.

A great river flowed by, its surface wide, stretching thousands of miles, with a magnificent view.

Lin Jichen and Leng Feiyan stood at the edge of the cliff.

Leng Feiyan suddenly asked, "Looking down from here, what do you feel?"

Lin Jichen looked at the scenery below and the distant city, remained silent for a moment, then said, "Only from the peak can one see the great river flowing above the mountains, feel the vastness of the long wind. The path of cultivation should inspire oneself in this way."

Leng Feiyan nodded in satisfaction, "With such ambition, I am relieved."

Then, silence.

The two sat on a stone stool, quietly admiring the beautiful night view.

At this moment, silence spoke louder than words, both enjoying this peaceful moment.

Leng Feiyan was not one to talk much. Ever since she took Lin Jichen as her disciple, she had spoken more in this period than she had in her entire life.
