Chapter 109 – Back then... he bullied me!

"Is Master also interested in Princess Yuqi?" Meng Fan asked curiously.

Logically speaking, Elder Lin, at his age, shouldn't be interested in Princess Yuqi.

But such an idea was too absolute, and not necessarily true!

After all, it's often said that a man is a boy until death.

Moreover, whether or not a man remains a boy until death is debatable, but it seems that men of all ages like young and beautiful women.

"As a princess of the empire, her visit to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect certainly warrants my attention," Elder Lin said indifferently.

Meng Fan asked, "Then why does Master mention Princess Yuqi? What is your intention?"

He felt that Elder Lin wouldn't bring up Princess Yuqi without reason; there must be some thought behind it.

Indeed, Elder Lin's next words did not disappoint Meng Fan.

"Princess Yuqi, although a princess of the nation, has been acting recklessly within our Shu Mountain Sword Sect, a bit too ostentatiously," Elder Lin remarked.

Meng Fan's brow furrowed; the beginning of Elder Lin's statement was somewhat unexpected.

Because if the conversation continued in this vein, it seemed it would echo what Liu Yanping had said earlier.

Could it be that Elder Lin also wanted him to take action and teach Princess Yuqi a lesson?

That shouldn't be the case!

What status did Elder Lin hold, and how could he stoop to the level of quarreling with a young lady like Princess Yuqi?

Not one to let his concerns fester overnight, Meng Fan directly ventured to ask, "Master, you surely don't intend for me to discipline Princess Yuqi and curb her arrogance, do you?"

Although he felt it was unlikely, Meng Fan still took the initiative to ask.

In front of Elder Lin, he always spoke his mind without hesitation, asking whatever he wanted to ask, saying whatever he wanted to say.

"If the opportunity arises, you could try sparring with her," Elder Lin said calmly.

Though the words were spoken diplomatically, Meng Fan had already discerned that Elder Lin indeed hoped he would teach Princess Yuqi a lesson.

With this thought, Meng Fan's frown deepened.

He hesitated, then continued, "Master, with your status, you shouldn't really be bothered by a young lady, should you?"

This wasn't a challenge to Elder Lin, but Meng Fan felt there must be some unknown history between Elder Lin and Princess Yuqi!

Given what he knew of Elder Lin, he was aware that Elder Lin wouldn't send him to "spar" with Princess Yuqi over the minor disturbance she had caused in the Training Hall.

"You brat, always so keen on getting to the bottom of things," Elder Lin rolled his eyes.

After speaking, he immediately left the second floor of the Sword Pavilion.

He had a keen sense that if he stayed even a minute longer, he might end up getting hit!

Elder Lin watched Meng Fan's hasty retreat with a wry smile on his face.

That kid was cunning.

He had indeed been itching to discipline the brat.

While he was too embarrassed to discipline Princess Yuqi, he had no such reservations about his own disciple.

At the same time, his mind replayed memories of how the emperor of the Great Dragon Empire had bullied him when he was just fifteen years old.

That scoundrel had been peeping at Widow Wang bathing, and Meng Fan had happened to be looking for him.

When the scoundrel was discovered, he pushed Meng Fan in and ran away.

Innocent Meng Fan, having been pushed in, experienced something that would become a lifelong shadow!

Ever since then, he had been afraid of women, and it had turned into a kind of illness.

The incurable kind!

Thinking about this, Elder Lin clenched his fists tightly.

Anger!

If Meng Fan knew Elder Lin's thoughts, he would be utterly baffled.

This? Is this considered bullying?

It sounded more like something a good brother would do!

Blissfully unaware of his good fortune...

To not only be ungrateful but also to hold a grudge?

Just as Meng Fan returned to the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, he noticed someone standing at the entrance. Senior Disciple Luo was greeting her.

Princess Yuqi!

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

However, Meng Fan was not surprised, for Princess Yuqi's purpose in coming to Shu Mountain was to seek a sword at the Sword Pavilion.

So her appearance at the Sword Pavilion was to be expected.

In fact, she had arrived even later than he had anticipated!
