Chapter 422 - Chapter 422: Chapter 122: Turns Out Its Not a Younger Brother, Its a Younger Sister (1/2)
chapter 422: chapter 122: turns out it’s not a younger brother, it’s a younger sister
upon hearing this, yue qi’s mother was momentarily stunned, then nodded, saying,
“i understand, island master…”
lin jing nodded in return and briefed yue qi’s mother before preparing to leave.
but at that moment, he suddenly remembered something he had seemingly forgotten to mention.
so he turned around and said to yue qi’s mother,
“qi’s mother, i need a few more courtyards built near the tops of the mountains next to the alchemy room. arrange it for me…”
yue qi’s mother nodded, replying,
“certainly, island master…”
“i will arrange it immediately.”
lin jing nodded once more, then departed.
……
in the following period, under yue qi’s mother’s arrangement, construction began on small courtyards atop the nearby mountains.
by this time, li qingqing and lin jue had already started cultivating the lin family’s alchemy dao.
even ye yun had received the seven refinement body forging technique gifted by lin jing, and he had already cultivated it to the first level.
in the entire northern part of li yan island, only han bingyan was still the same as before.
……
time flashed by, and over a month passed.
the small courtyards on the other mountaintops were all built, and li qingqing, along with lin jue and the others, would move into the new courtyards starting tomorrow.
thus, on the evening before this day,
lin jing summoned han bingyan, intending to have a private talk with her.
since rescuing han bingyan, lin jing had barely spoken with her and only knew that she was not fond of talking and was very shy.
beyond that, including details about her family and her sect, lin jing knew nothing at all.
therefore, at this time today, lin jing decided to inquire in detail.
when lin jing called han bingyan into the room alone, she was visibly uneasy, not even daring to raise her head.
seeing han bingyan like this, lin jing could only shake his head, puzzled by where such a nature came from.
it felt like dealing with a child, naive to the ways of the world and utterly shy.
but the questions that needed to be asked still had to be asked…
thus, lin jing took the initiative to speak,
“there’s no need to be so nervous. i called you here just to ask you some things.”
han bingyan, with her head lowered, replied softly,
“what would senior like to ask?”
lin jing then proceeded to ask,
“han bingyan, if i remember correctly, you once mentioned that you are a disciple of the ice god palace, right? do you know where your sect, the ice god palace, is located?”
“and do they know about you falling into the hands of the black shark gang?”
after hearing this, han bingyan finally lifted her head slightly and said,
“senior…”
“actually, i don’t know where the ice god palace is, either.”
lin jing was puzzled by han bingyan’s response and asked again,
“you don’t know either?”
han bingyan nodded lightly and said,
“actually, like senior, i was originally from the nanming domain.”
“but when i was very young, i encountered my master, who noticed my exceptional aptitude and said she wanted to take me to cultivate immortality, so she took me away…”
“it was from what my master told me that i knew our sect was called the ice god palace.”
lin jing continued to ask,
“since you were taken in by your master as a child, haven’t you returned to the ice god palace at all during this time?”
han bingyan shook her head and said,
“after accepting me, my master brought me to the demonic monster sea, and we’ve been cultivating on an island whose name i don’t even know until now.”
“it was only recently, i think an enemy of my master found us, and the two of them began to fight.”
“to avoid me getting hurt by mistake, my master sent me away. shortly after i was transmitted out, i ran into the people from the black shark gang…”
after listening, lin jing frowned slightly and asked again,
“you haven’t been to the ice god palace up to now, so you don’t know its location, is that right?”
han bingyan thought for a moment and then responded,
“my master did mention a bit, she said our sect, the ice god palace, is very powerful and that it’s located somewhere within the demonic monster sea, with many people knowing of it.”
lin jing was speechless upon hearing this…
the entire demonic monster sea, whose expanse was unfathomable.
a sect within the demonic monster sea was, in truth, like finding a needle in a haystack.
moreover, her master had claimed that their ice god palace was very powerful and well-known, which lin jing frankly didn’t believe.
lin jing had been venturing in the demonic monster sea for such a long time.
he had never heard of any ice god palace, and not just lin jing, even when he had asked li tangyu before, he had said he had never heard of it.
however…
for someone from a sect, to exaggerate the prowess of their own sect was something lin jing could understand.
after all, han bingyan herself had great talent and additionally, a special body constitution; any sect that got her would certainly not want to let her slip away.
thus, lin jing could quite understand her master’s behavior.
afterward,
lin jing looked at han bingyan and continued to ask,
“by the way, did your master ever tell you what kind of body constitution you actually have?”
han bingyan nodded and said,
“my master told me that my constitution seems to be called the extreme yin ice spiritual body, similar to the first ancestral master of the ice god palace. that’s why i am most suitable for cultivating the ice god palace’s cultivation techniques.”
lin jing nodded and said,
“so that’s the case…”
after thinking for a while, lin jing then told han bingyan,
“since your master hasn’t come back for now, you can stay here for the time being. if you need anything, just tell me…”
han bingyan nodded and replied,
“thank you, senior…”
lin jing waved his hand, saying,
“it’s nothing…”
then, lin jing asked again,
“by the way, what is your master’s name, and what does she look like? i’ll see if i can keep an eye out and perhaps help you find her.”
after a moment’s thought, han bingyan said,
