Chapter 538: Chapter 221 Enchantment_2
“`
“So…”
“That’s why I sought you out for the upcoming competition.”
“And just as expected, you won!”
At this point, Ji Xiyue looked up, staring straight at Lin Jing before speaking,
“To truly confirm your identity, it was actually just now…”
“Just now?”
Lin Jing’s brows furrowed slightly as something seemed to dawn on him.
“Yes, just now…”
“When I asked you earlier, didn’t you respond?”
“What could be more genuine than you admitting your own identity with your own lips?”
“Isn’t that right, the heir of the Lin Family, the long-established family of the Ancient Alchemy Path, Lin Jing!”
At this, Ji Xiyue laughed again, her eyes curving like crescent moons. She seemed very pleased, almost like a little fox that had stolen a chicken…
Lin Jing found himself at a loss for words, not expecting it to be like this; he had been outwitted by this woman.
“So you’ve been uncertain all along, always just probing me?” Lin Jing said, his face darkening.
Ji Xiyue nodded and spoke to Lin Jing,
“Yes, it’s exactly like that!”
After finishing, Ji Xiyue didn’t forget to console Lin Jing,
“But you don’t have to worry about it. Whether or not you admit it, it doesn’t make much difference.”
“After all…”
“The Elixir Medicine you’ve concocted doesn’t lie,”
“Since I had my suspicions, I would surely use all means to collect evidence and confirm your identity.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing looked up at Ji Xiyue.
Ji Xiyue hurriedly said,
“Don’t look at me like that…”
“You should understand that it’s not just me— as long as you continue alchemy, someone will always be skeptical.”
“Your identity won’t stay hidden for long.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing also fell silent.
He understood this truth all too well.
He needed Elixir Medicine to enhance his cultivation, and those around him needed them as well. The more Elixir Medicines he produced, the more inevitable it was that flaws would be exposed, greatly increasing the chances of being discovered.
But that didn’t mean he could afford to give up on Alchemy for fear of choking.
Moreover, Lin Jing, aside from practicing the Alchemy Techniques of the Lin Family, also had access to the System Space.
And the Alchemy Dao of the Lin Family could serve as a cover for the existence of the System Space, preventing unnecessary suspicion.
Therefore, he was determined to continue with alchemy.
What Lin Jing could do was to try his best not to concoct Elixir Medicines in front of others, thereby delaying the time of exposure.
“So that’s the first question asked, right?” Ji Xiyue said, addressing Lin Jing.
Lin Jing nodded and answered,
“Yes…”
“I’ve finished asking the first question.”
Then, Lin Jing turned to Ji Xiyue to say,
“Now, onto the second question.”
“What is your true intention in doing this?”
…
…
“I want to take you as my master and become your disciple!!!”
Ji Xiyue looked directly at Lin Jing and said it straight out.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s eyebrows immediately knitted together, then he answered,
“Impossible…”
“You should know, the Alchemy Techniques aren’t something to be passed on lightly.”
“Moreover, since you have your own Sect, it’s even less likely that I would take you as my disciple.”
However, Ji Xiyue’s next words left Lin Jing completely silent.
“What if I leave the Xingluo Elixir Sect, would you take me on then?”
The top talent of the Xingluo Elixir Sect planning to leave…
Even if Ji Xiyue dared to leave, Lin Jing wouldn’t dare to accept her as a disciple.
Furthermore, Ji Xiyue’s father was the Grand Elder of the Xingluo Elixir Sect—could she even manage to leave if she wished to?
Lin Jing looked at Ji Xiyue and saw that she was gazing back at him, her expression extremely serious.
Lin Jing couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling,
“Could Ji Xiyue really be considering leaving the Xingluo Elixir Sect to become my disciple?”
Then, Lin Jing quickly shook his head, outright refusing,
