Chapter 2021: Chapter 2018: At Swordpoint!
Lin Bai also understood Suling Su’s helplessness.
At home, her father went to great lengths to get a son like Suling Shan.
From childhood to adulthood, whatever Suling Shan wanted, he got. Even if her father didn’t have it, he would have Suling Su and her siblings find ways to get it for him.
Suling Shan’s talent was lacking, so her father made Suling Su give him her own cultivation resources, which caused Suling Su’s cultivation to stagnate, even missing the best chance to enter the Inner Gate, delaying until now when she is almost thirty and still hasn’t entered the Inner Gate.
Lin Bai’s recent words seemed to awaken Suling Su.
In Suling Su’s thoughts, she had originally planned to find a way to enter the Inner Gate after Suling Shan got in. But now Lin Bai told her that after thirty, entering the Inner Gate would be as hard as ascending to heaven.
Those words enlightened Suling Su.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Lin Bai." Suling Su nodded slightly, a hint of determination between her eyebrows.
Suling Su turned back to look at Suling Shan, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes again.
Lin Bai saw a brief clarity in Suling Su’s eyes, but soon confusion returned. Lin Bai could see that she still couldn’t let go of Suling Shan, or in other words, she couldn’t let go of her father’s words...
...
"Brother Jiang Heng is really amazing, his sword art is so profound. With Brother Jiang Heng’s current mastery of sword art, he might truly be the number one swordsman in the Outer Sect."
Suling Shan said sincerely.
"Not at all, not at all. In the Outer Sect, there are hidden talents. There is more than one person better than me. Lingshan, don’t be a frog in a well, be a bit more humble..." Jiang Heng said modestly, but he was actually overjoyed inside.
Number One Swordsman in the Outer Sect!
Thinking of this title, Jiang Heng’s heart was filled with joy.
At this moment, Jiang Heng instinctively glanced at Suling Su.
As he looked over, the smile on his face vanished, replaced by a trace of anger.
Because he saw Lin Bai standing next to Suling Su, saying something to her.
"Senior Brother Jiang Heng, I still have some doubts..." Suling Shan said with a smile at this moment.
Jiang Heng’s expression was cold, raising his hand to interrupt Suling Shan, he said indifferently, "Lingshan, I’ll explain the sword art to you another day."
"What’s wrong, Senior Brother Jiang Heng?" Suling Shan was taken aback, he saw some anger in Jiang Heng, and immediately followed Jiang Heng’s gaze and saw Lin Bai standing next to Suling Su!
Suling Shan was instantly furious: "That trash at the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm dares to harass my sister! I won’t let him off today!"
As he spoke, Suling Shan stood up from Jiang Heng’s side, walking angrily towards Lin Bai and Suling Su, with Jiang Heng also standing up and silently following behind Suling Shan towards Lin Bai.
"What are you two doing?"
Suling Shan walked over and spoke angrily.
Lin Bai and Suling Su were both stunned, turning to look at the furious Suling Shan, and Jiang Heng who was walking from afar behind Suling Shan.
Lin Bai saw Suling Shan and Jiang Heng coming over, and said with a slight smile: "Nothing, just chatting casually."
"Just chatting casually?" Suling Shan sneered coldly and sarcastically: "Lin Bai, I warn you, stay away from my sister, she’s not a woman you can lay your hands on casually."
"Only a strong one like Senior Brother Jiang Heng is worthy of my sister!"
"You’re like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
Suling Shan said angrily.
Lin Bai looked unhappily at Suling Shan, his eyes narrowing.
Suling Su said faintly: "Lingshan, I was just exchanging cultivation insights with Junior Brother Lin Bai, nothing else."
Suling Shan coldly looked at Lin Bai, clearly not believing Suling Su’s words.
At this moment, Jiang Heng walked up, smiled and said: "What insights have you exchanged?"
"Junior Brother Lin Bai, after exchanging for so long with Lingsu, have you gained anything?"
Jiang Heng looked at Lin Bai and asked.
Lin Bai smiled slightly: "I suppose I’ve gained some insights."
Jiang Heng smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I also explained a lot of sword art knowledge to Lingshan, and he also gained something. In that case, why don’t you have a little spar and see who has gained more fortuitous opportunities?"
Upon hearing Jiang Heng’s words, Suling Shan immediately said excitedly: "Great, let’s see if I don’t beat you to a pulp!"
Lin Bai said leisurely: "Sorry, I have no interest in meaningless sparring."
"I’m tired, I’ll go rest first."
"Farewell, Senior Sister Suling Su."
Lin Bai said to Suling Su with a nod and was about to leave.
Jiang Heng heard Lin Bai agree and was angry.
At this moment, Suling Shan furiously said: "Are you scared? If you’re scared, stay away from my sister from now on! Coward!"
Lin Bai, who was about to walk down the mountain, suddenly stopped when he heard Suling Shan’s words, and turned to look at Suling Shan.
Seeing Suling Shan’s arrogant and mocking face.
Lin Bai chuckled lightly: "Senior Sister Suling Su, your brother is really impolite, let me teach him a lesson for you!"
"Weren’t you wanting to compete with me?"
"Come on."
Lin Bai returned to Suling Shan, saying coldly.
Suling Su’s expression changed at this moment, she hurriedly said: "Alright, stop making trouble!"
"Junior Brother Lin Bai, I apologize on behalf of Lingshan for this matter, I hope you don’t take it to heart."
Suling Su said to Lin Bai lightly.
Suling Shan furiously said: "Sister, step aside, I must teach this ignorant punk a lesson today!"
"Saying I’m impolite, humph, look at my sword!"
Suling Shan said to Suling Su with a snort, then immediately took out a sharp sword from the storage bag and thrust it at Lin Bai.
The sharp sword aura swept through the long sky.
"Lingshan, don’t be reckless!"
Suling Su was enraged, immediately standing in front of Lin Bai.
Suling Su thought that by standing in front of Lin Bai, Suling Shan would surely withdraw his sword.
But unexpectedly, when Suling Shan stabbed with his sword, he never intended to take it back.
Therefore, the sword was heading straight toward Suling Su’s face!
Suling Su’s expression was filled with shock.
At this moment, Lin Bai took a step forward, pulling Suling Su back with his left hand, then pointing forward with his right hand to hold Suling Shan’s sword in place.
Suling Su fell directly into Lin Bai’s embrace as he pulled her back.
Pop!
Lin Bai easily pinched Suling Shan’s sword between his fingers, then threw him back forcefully, saying coldly: "Your sister is still here, did you intend to kill her with that sword?"
Suling Shan’s face showed surprise, immediately saying coldly: "I already told her to step aside, she didn’t listen, isn’t she aware that poor judgement with knife and sword has no eyes!"
Suling Su was also frightened, if it weren’t for Lin Bai pulling her back in time, that sword might have landed on her face!
At this moment, Suling Su was also somewhat angry with Suling Shan!
As Lin Bai and Suling Shan engaged, the two resting nearby woke up, looking towards them, seeing Suling Shan and Lin Bai on the verge of conflict, they exclaimed: "What’s going on?"
