Chapter 366: A Strange Senior (1/2)

”You… you really could?” Lan Qing Xi nearly couldn't believe his ears as he looked at Lin Xiao with bewilderment.

Lin Xiao looked at the strange senior and nodded. ”You just need to follow the set of movements to understand what kind of move it is about. If you have water element, you should be able to understand it as well, Senior.”

”Water element?”

Seeing the surprise on Lan Qing Xi's face, Lin Xiao was sure that the senior didn't even think of connecting the sword's move with the water element. He already knew the name and yet he didn't try to connect the dot?

Lin Xiao felt it was strange.

Lan Qing Xi looked at Lin Xiao and smiled sheepishly. ”Ah, pardon me. I did think that way when I heard the sword's name but I still can't find any clue. When you master the skill, could you please allow me to see it?”

”See?”

”Yes. I wish to see the skill being performed.”

Lin Xiao furrowed his brows then turned to look at Fan Ling and Lin Yun. He was not sure what kind of response he should give right now. Some skills were always kept in secret because it could be their trump card but some other skills could be seen by others because it would be weirder if it was not seen.

This Sword River Bearing was a secret sword skill.

Fan Ling stepped forward. ”Sorry, but your request is too strange. How would we know that you will not use this chance to spread it to your friends?”

”Ah, I'm really…” Lan Qing Xi looked at Lin Xiao once more before he sighed. ”Alright, I'll not ask for that… Uhm, how about if we talk more in the future or something? I might be able to provide some useful information and…”

”There's still a year before we can interact with seniors.” Lin Xiao looked at Lan Qing Xi and smiled apologetically. ”I have to refuse your kind intention.”

They were new students.

It was the only thought that crossed Lan Qing Xi's mind as he looked at the three youths before him. Because of the rules here, it was harder for senior to meet with the new students before three years was up. The rule was set up so that the senior would not bully the new students before they had a chance to grow a bit more in the academy.

After three years, the academy turned blind eyes to whatever they wanted to do.

”Alright, I'll not bother you…” Lan Qing Xi actually still wanted to know more about that Sword River Bearing move but he knew that it would mostly depend on his luck to be able to understand what it was about.

”In that case, we'll be leaving first.”

There was still some time left but they could divide the time and used it for next time. Lin Xiao naturally didn't want them to use up their chance completely in one go since the stone pillar would be beneficial for Lin Yun.

The three of them walked out of the book pavilion and reported the time they spent inside. Looking at the few hours left, Lin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

”Do you plan to come here again?”

”If I want to learn new skill, it'll be good rather than having to challenge that tower again.” Lin Xiao shrugged.
