Chapter 106: [Little Mute’s New Home]

Translator: 549690339

A brief silence fell upon Lead Peak.

Even people like Shen Yan changed their expressions drastically!

Lu Xun’s words were not very loud, but most of the people present could hear them.

After all, everyone was a cultivator, their hearing was not bad.

The summit of Lead Peak momentarily erupted like a bomb had gone off, waves of gasps filled the air.

If there weren’t so many elders present, the outcry might have been even louder!

Shen Yan and the others didn’t calm the disciples down because they themselves were not calm.

“Natural Sword Embryo… Natural Sword Embryo… Little Uncle, are you sure that Sister Lin Chan is also a Natural Sword Embryo?” Shen Yan asked.

Not that he didn’t trust Lu Xun, he just wanted to ask again, wanted to… hear it again!

“Yes, I’m absolutely sure, it is a Natural Sword Embryo!” Lu Xun said with a smile, giving a definitive answer.

“Hahahaha!”

Hearty laughter came from the mouths of Shen Yan and several other Peak Masters.

Adding in Yan Li, who was currently in closed-door cultivation, three Natural Sword Embryos in one sect was unprecedented!

When One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain see the Demon Sect again, they will not be able to hold their heads up!

At this time, why should they hold back their laughter?

Everyone in the Demon Sect laughed heartily and wildly!

Lu Xun being a Natural Sword Embryo was already surprising enough for the

Demon Sect, but who would have thought that he would find another Sword Embryo on a casual trip down the mountain!

And she even has nine ripples, suggesting extreme enlightenment!

There’s no stopping the Demon Sect now!

Hahahahaha!

Lu Xun’s “Reputation Value” skyrocketed at this moment!

There was no way around it, after all, Lin Chan was the one he had found. This was undoubtedly a huge merit!

Once this news spreads through the Demon Sect, his “Reputation Value” should surge quite a bit!

“I should be close to completing the second stage of the “Reputation Value” task.” Lu Xun thought.

Only Little Lin Chan was confused at this moment, not quite understanding the situation.

She didn’t know why everyone was so happy, or why so many people were looking at her with expectation in their eyes.

Lu Xun had mentioned to her about the Natural Sword Embryo and told her that it was an excellent Sword Dao aptitude, but she still couldn’t wrap her head around the concept.

But she learned about it today.

“Is the Natural Sword Embryo really so special?” Lin Chan wondered.

And a tiny voice rang out in her heart:

“Am I… really that amazing?”

From being a frail and poor child who couldn’t even speak, to this skinny, unattractive little thing, just like an unnoticed weed by the roadside.

She was bound to have self-doubt.

But what would come along with it, would be affirmation of herself, accumulating bit by bit!

So… people would cheer for me and get excited for me?

Normally, with her timid character, she would be scared when suddenly faced with such expectations from everyone.

It’s always like this, the expectations of others can be both a source of motivation and a source of stress.

Lu Xun extended his right hand and placed it on her shoulder.

She suddenly felt reassured.

So at this moment, she wasn’t scared.

This roadside weed felt something different for the first time.

She felt the sun, the rain, the breeze, the insects, the birds…

For a moment… she even felt like a flower.

The formalities on Lead Peak were quickly completed, and Lin Chan soon received her badge and a black cloak symbolizing her status as a disciple.

Holding her new clothes and badge, she was still in a daze.

Shen Yan saw Lu Xun and Lin Chan off to the back mountain.

After the elders left, Ji Li was surrounded by the Outer Sect Disciples, and Murong Yan by the Inner Sect Disciples, asking them about what they saw and heard on the mountain with Lu Xun.

Murong Yan basically reported truthfully, but for Ji Li, a fervent fanboy, he might have embellished the story a bit to further glorify Lu Xun.

It won’t be long before Lu Xun’s exploits spread throughout the Demon Sect.

Like how he broke through several realms in succession, and has now even reached Great Perfection in Qi Consumption Technique!

Like how he directly made it through the Turtle’s Longevity and surpassed Xiao Ran of the Luotian Sect, becoming the second on the list!

All of these would boost his “Reputation Value”!

And as the disciples chat during their leisure time, these stories would inevitably become more and more exaggerated!

People are always like that, right?

For example, he and Xiao Ran didn’t clear the levels at the same time, who knows what kind of story will be spread in the future…

Xiao Ran, the pride and joy of the Luotian Sect, one of the world’s protagonists, a psychotic player who can make it to the player’s fear ranking list, unexpectedly became a mere tool man.

On the other hand, Shen Yan quickly escorted Lu Xun and Lin Chan to the back mountain.

By the rules, the Small Study at the back mountain was where the teacher and his disciples lived. People like Shen Yan were the teacher’s disciples but didn’t have the privilege of living in the Small Study, so whether Lin Chan could live there for a long time had to wait for the teacher’s return and his approval, but a temporary stay was allowed.

Lu Xun didn’t let Shen Yan take them directly to the mountaintop, but instead to halfway up the mountain.

He planned to take his little disciple to familiarize themselves with the back mountain, their future living environment, for some time.

As previously mentioned, the back mountain was a mountain that exuded a unique aura of elegance, both inside and out.

It didn’t look like a regular mountain, but more like a meticulously groomed, beautiful large pot plant.

However, it seemed unlikely that anyone would have such a long amount of time and energy to meticulously groom a mountain.

Lin Chan followed Lu Xun, curiously looking around. She had never seen such beautiful scenery, nor had she ever imagined that there could be such a fairyland on earth.

She carefully stepped on the large rocks in the stream. A bold fish even jumped out of the stream directly which surprised and amused her. Were even the fish here not afraid of people?

And then… this fish was caught by Lu Xun, who said, “Yo, quite lively, eh? Let’s have you for dinner tonight.”

He turned to Lin Chan with a smile and said, “You’ve never tasted my cooking, have you? Today, you will.”

Past this nameless creek was the bamboo forest where the second sister resided.

“I wonder if second sister is still in seclusion in the bamboo forest,” Lu Xun pondered in his heart.

The bamboo forest was still the same, green and pleasing to the eye. If it snowed this winter, it would surely be a splendid sight.

Now that it was winter, he was thinking about whether he should dig for some winter shoots in the bamboo forest. It must be the tenderest and most delicious this time of year.

Alright, the moment he returned to the back mountain, he obsessed over the role of a cook.

Lin Chan had seen bamboo before, but never a bamboo sea. As the wind blew through, she gaped at the sight.

Walking into the bamboo forest, she felt an inexplicable sense of tranquillity, much like Lu Xun had felt when he first stepped into the bamboo forest.

This bamboo sea seemed to have a magical power.

As for the second sister, she was still sitting on the large rock, immersed in her comprehension of the universe, just as she had been.

Lin Chan did not notice the person on the rock at first until she saw Lu Xun pay respects in the direction of the rock and called out to the second sister.

This was the first time she saw Lu Xun pay respects to someone. She hurriedly followed suit, bending her waist very low.

Lu Xun didn’t get up and Lin Chan didn’t dare to. She didn’t know that her handsome master was deliberately teasing the second sister, just to hear her speech impediment.

“Alright… alright…” the second sister replied, slightly annoyed.

Lu Xun got up with a hearty laugh and then put his hand on Lin Chan’s head, pitching her like a product:

“Second Sister, this is Lin Chan, my disciple whom I took under my wing at the foot of the mountain. She also has a natural sword embryo. My cultivation base is still shallow, so I hope you can give her guidance from time to time.”

He meant it. Guiding Lin Chan in her cultivation would be a difficult task for him, an outski.

Only now did Lin Chan dare to steal a glance upwards. From her vantage point, she could only see the gaunt silhouette of the second sister, but her gaze was unintentionally drawn to the wooden hairpin amidst her tresses.

She recognized at a glance that the wooden hairpin was a wooden sword. True to her status as a True Natural Sword Womb!

The second sister, still sitting on the rock, nodded. She didn’t say anything, but going by her nature, if she nodded, she certainly meant it.

However, compared to people like Shen Yan, the second sister was much more indifferent to the Natural Sword Embryo.

“Well, I won’t disturb the Second Sister anymore. I’ll go to the kitchen and prepare some food.” Lu Xun said to the second sister.

The little mute, who couldn’t speak, quickly bowed to her new second master, and then hurried to follow Lu Xun, leaving the sea of bamboo.

As they walked, they passed by the jujube trees. Lu Xun picked a few winter jujubes. After using his spiritual power to clean them, he gave two to Lin Chan, telling her to try some, but not to eat too much.

Lin Chan cautiously bit one.

It was so sweet!

Then, she felt a cool stream sweeping through her body, even clearing her mind a bit.

After finishing one, she seemed somewhat reluctant to bite into the second one.

Lu Xun gave her head a fond rub, saying with a laugh, “Go on, eat it. There are only a few of us on the mountain. We won’t be able to finish them all.”

Walking, finally they reached the mountaintop and saw the building of the Small Study.

Mao Nanbei was lying leisurely on a large rattan chair at the door, basking in the warm winter sun. His cat ears moved occasionally, as he lazily relished the sunshine.

Seeing Lu Xun, he excitedly jumped from the rattan chair and ran towards him, wanting to give him a great big hug!

The cook has returned, the cook has finally returned! Aw, man!

But considering his seniority as an elder sister, he had to refrain from showing much enthusiasm, and he stopped before jumping into Lu Xun’s arms.

This made Lu Xun a tad disappointed.

“Ahem, you’re back?” she asked, pretending to be calm.

“Yep, I’m back. Fourth Sister, let’s have braised fish tonight,” Lu Xun replied with a smile.

On hearing this, Mao Nanbei leaned forward slightly, perking up his cat ears, and tiptoed stealthily.

So happy! More delicious food!

After that, he began to size up Lin Chan.

At the same time, Lin Chan was also sneakily checking him out.

Looking at Mao Nanbei’s pair of adorable cat ears, Lin Chan only felt that they were quite wondrous!

“Is this the home Master spoke of?” Lin Chan wondered in her heart.
