Chapter 17 (2/2)

“I was surprised to find that you practice a high-grade martial arts. Is this the Thirteen Gleaming Sword?” Lin Ruyan gave him a look of shock while sparring with him.

This was the Lin Han that came from a faraway subdivision.

How many more secrets did he have?

The more she thought, the more curious and surprised she was towards Lin Han.

In the meantime, both of them did not realize that a small figure was standing right at the courtyard entrance. It was Xiao Nu the maid.

Right then, the little girl was staring at them sparring in the courtyard, feeling lonely and left out.

…

Lin Han and Lin Ruyan finally stopped after two hours.

They looked at each other and smiled as both of them had improved by learning from each other.

Lin Ruyan did not say much. All she did was smile and thanked Lin Han before she left slowly.

Lin Han laughed generously and let her know that she could come over more often to spar.

Lin Han had gained a lot of insight regarding his sword techniques from Lin Ruyan. If he applied them to the actual combat, it definitely would increase the power of his sword techniques.

Next.

Lin Han did not waste any time. He went back into the house and continued to get insights on the Majestic Golden Sun Cover.

Time flew, like sand slipping through fingers.

That afternoon passed by in the blink of an eye.

The sky got darker.

Just then, in the house.

“Majestic Golden Sun Cover, where hills go across the sky!”

A prestigious voice came up, it was Lin Han.

Right then, he was covered with a golden bell. It was almost solidified.

The ancient bell was vigorous, with a cold metallic luster; it was powerful.

“I finally took a step further and achieved the Major Advancement!”

Lin Han looked cheerful.

As expected, his genius talent did not disappoint him. Within a day, his proficiency for the Majestic Golden Sun Cover had achieved the Major Advancement.

Once implied, the golden bell would cover the entire body.

The hardness was comparable to a medium-grade weapon, which allowed Lin Han to be inaccessible by any sword and gun.

“Dong Dong Dong…”

Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the door.

The sound was very soft, so it should be Xiao Nu knocking on the door.

Lin Han instantly determined and said, “Come in, Xiao Nu.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

As expected, Xiao Nu the maid answered from outside.

Her tiny figure then appeared in the room.

Lin Han looked at her and immediately realized that she was slightly upset.

“What happened, Xiao Nu?” Lin Han felt strange.

“Young Master, I… I…” Xiao Nu stammered, and then finally cried, “Wuwu~ Young Master… Does Young Master think that Xiao Nu is useless…?”

“Why would I?” Lin Han felt baffled, but he still walked towards the little girl. He hugged her and talked softly, “when I was at my worst, you, Xiao Nu, was the one that stayed by my side. Why would I dislike or avoid you?”

“Is it… Is it true?” Xiao Nu sobbed.

“Of course it is true.” Lin Han nodded his head hard.

After thinking thoroughly, in this entire Lin Clan Sect Residence, the only person who was close to him was Xiao Nu the maid.

“Then… Young Master, Xiao Nu… can Xiao Nu stay forever by your side? Serving Young Master?” The little girl looked up and asked with eyes filled with hope.

“As long as you’re willing to, of course you can stay by my side forever,” Lin Han answered while he laughed and playfully shaved her nose with his fingers.

“Young Master is the best… Xiao Nu will never leave Young Master…”

…

One hour later, Lin Han finally put the little girl to sleep.

It was only then did Lin Han have the chance to go out.

The sky was dark, but it was one day before the Outer Residence Competition.

At this time, it was the liveliest period of the Outer Residence.

Of course, Lin Han did not go out to join the fun. Instead, he went to view the early announcement of the disciple ranking board.

It happened every year.

One night before the Outer Residence Competition, every disciple in the Outer Residence would be evaluated according to their strength and ranked out, as a preparation for the final Inner Residence Martial Arts Tea Party.
