Chapter 27

“Because, in the world of cultivators, there are rules that Xiang Yu doesn’t like very much.”

Lin En explained, “First, once you enter the world of cultivators, you’ll have to abandon your kinship, love, and friends in the mortal world.

“In principle, once you become a cultivator, then these are all fetters, and fetters will only slow you down.

“Xiang Yu is a man with honor, but he’s sentimental, so it’s impossible for him to abandon those things.

“The world of cultivators is very much about talent, and Xiang Yu’s talent is a little lacking. He has superhuman strength, but his veins are clogged, so a certain aspect of him is enhanced only.

“Compared to those with Spiritual Roots, he’s relatively slow in cultivation…

“Faced with so many obstacles, even someone as arrogant as Xiang Yu would rather stay in the mortal world.”

Lin En sighed and continued, “Actually, at that time, I neglected one thing, and that was that those with great perseverance would be impressive in the world of cultivators.

“If Xiang Yu could rely on his perseverance, even if he had to cultivate for thousands of years, as long as he reached the Qi Refinement stage and opened the closed mortal gate, he would become a true heaven-defying existence in the world of cultivators…

“What a pity… I didn’t know about this at that time.”

The Saintess was shocked as she heard Lin En’s words. “Master, we can do that?”

In the world of cultivators, Spiritual Roots were always the most important thing. Those with strong Spiritual Roots could improve a lot faster in cultivation.

Those with poor Spiritual Roots could cultivate for a hundred years, but still could not be compared with others.

“That’s right. People like Xiang Yu are people with unimaginable perseverance. Once they open the mortal gate with their own will, they’ll become a terrifying existence.”

Chu Wuyan’s curiosity was completely piqued.

“Master, if Lord Xiang is alive and has opened the mortal gate and lived until now, who would be more powerful? You or him?”

Lin En was stunned. He looked at the curious Saintess, shook his head, and said with a smile, “Half a month ago, he would be stronger than me. Half a month later, I would be stronger than him…”

She was a little confused by Lin En’s words. “Half a month?”

Lin En came to the front of the crystal glass and looked at the person performing Xiang Yu. He then said, “Half a month ago, I wouldn’t be a match for the Xiang Yu. But now, he’s no match for me because I’m no longer the same person as before.”

The Saintess looked at Lin En’s back and suddenly felt that although Lin En was just right in front of her, she felt that he was even more mysterious.

Lin En was right in front of her, but it seemed like he was not there. It was as if he had traveled through time and space and was another person from another country.

That feeling was mysterious and weird. It was hard to explain.

The Saintess also came in front of the crystal glass and looked at the stage too. She then gently hugged Lin En’s arm and said, “Master, in the past, I only knew that the beautiful scenery of the Snow Mountain in front of the Demon Blood Peak was the most beautiful scenery in this world.

“Therefore, no matter how busy I was cultivating, I would always stand on the peak and watch the scenery.

“But now, I realized that the real beauty might be in the mortal world.”

“Yes, cultivators cultivate the heart. If you don’t have a strong heart, even if you cultivate to the Mahayana stage, you have no chance of becoming an immortal.”

“Master…” Suddenly, the Saintess’ voice became gentle.

Lin En looked at her, and their eyes met.

The Saintess uttered, “Master, if I were Yuji and you were Lord Xiang, I would die for you even if it meant depriving my cultivation base.”

To be honest, Lin En was touched by her words.

Their faces were getting closer and closer, and they could feel each other’s breathing.

When their mouths were less than a centimeter apart, they could even smell each other’s body fragrance.

Bang!

The door suddenly exploded with a loud noise coming from outside.

“I’d like to see who’s occupying the heaven private room.”

The person standing outside the room was extremely arrogant.

“Young Master You, you really can’t go in. This ‘room has already been occupied by someone. Most importantly, the show has started.”

The people from the theater tried to persuade the arrogant man.

“I don’t care. Don’t you know that my father and uncle are the two heroes of the You family?”

Upon hearing this, Lin En was shocked.

“How could it be…” This time, he was shocked.

In this world, not only was there the Northern Song dynasty but there was also the Juxian Manor. Having the Juxian Manor in this world was not an issue, because ancient people liked to name their manors “Juxian”.

However, the two heroes of the You family were a bit too much. Was this not the persona of the Demi-gods and Semi-devils?

“Could it be that I’m in the world of Demi-gods and Semi-devils, and I’m a Grandmaster from a reclusive Demon Sect?”

Lin En was a little excited as he thought about it.

The Saintess frowned and said in a low voice, “Master, I’ll go kill them.”

Lin En hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her. However, he accidentally grabbed on something soft.

“Ah…”

She blushed as she hurriedly took two steps back.

Lin En looked at his hand, sniffed it, and said, “Yan’er, you smell good.”

He was not awkward at all.

However, the Saintess’ killing intent had calmed down.

“Yan’er, this is the mortal world. The mortal kingdoms have rules, so you can’t act recklessly.

“Otherwise, it’ll not be good for your future.”

The Saintess’ face was still as red as blood.

‘Master, how could you do that? Just now, you touched my… Why are you acting like nothing has happened? I was the only one who was embarrassed…’

“Alright, then tell me, who are the ones inside? If you can name them, I, You Tanzhi, will leave immediately.”

“This…”

The person guarding the door was in a difficult position and did not know how to deal with the man.

“Let them in.” Lin En voiced out all of a sudden.

The person guarding the door felt as if he had been pardoned. Since the Lin En had let You Tanzhi in, then perhaps he really did know him.

On the contrary, You Tanzhi and a few of his subordinates hesitated. Normally, they would not dare to be so arrogant.

After all, the You family was not the only famous family in the entire Luoyang City.

However, they were the ones who started all this, so they could only go with the flow.

Gritting his teeth, You Tanzhi mustered up his courage and entered the room.

However, when he saw Chu Wuyan’s face, he was shocked. “She’s beautiful.”

He examined Lin En and then looked at the Saintess.

You Tanzhi felt that Lin En was no different from an ordinary human. Although he was holding a sword, he did not have any nickname at all.

The You family was a Jianghu family. You Tanzhi was idle all day, but he recognized most of the people in the Jianghu. His father and uncle had instilled this knowledge into him since he was young because they were afraid that You Tanzhi would do something wrong and offended some nobles or experts in the Jianghu.
