Chapter 240: Reunion with Lin Xian'er!
"Huh? Ling Feng, is that you?"
There was a tone of utter surprise in her voice, even a hint of disbelief.
"Someone here recognizes me?" Ling Feng paused for a moment, and then turned to see a familiar figure standing a hundred paces away. She was dressed in a white veil gown and her beautiful eyes were filled with a kind of joyful surprise.
This woman... isn't she Lin Xian'er!?
[1]
Beside Lin Xian'er stood a girl in a goose-yellow gown, a few years older than Lin Xian'er. Though not stunningly beautiful, she possessed a standard charm.
"Ms. Lin?" Ling Feng greeted Lin Xian'er with a smile.
He only knew Lin Xian'er as a student of Tianwei Academy, and it seemed she also had a teacher who was the vice-director of the academy. He never expected her to be a sky-tier student as well.
In fact, Lin Xian'er's cultivation was far from meeting the standards of a sky-tier student, but her teacher seemed to have implanted a treasured item within her body. Once that treasured item was refined by Lin Xian'er, her cultivation would skyrocket, surpassing many ordinary sky-tier students.
"I almost thought I got the wrong person!" Lin Xian'er's face lit up with joy as she turned to the girl beside her, saying with a smile, "Senior Sister Yun, he's the Ling Feng I mentioned. You go find the teacher first and I'll join you in a moment."
The girl referred to as 'Senior Sister Yun' glanced at Lin Xian'er, and then at Ling Feng, a hint of ambiguity flashing across her face. "Alright, I won't disturb you two then."
Blushing, Lin Xian'er glared at Senior Sister Yun. "Stop teasing!"
Giggle... Senior Sister Yun chuckled softly, and then turned and left.
Lin Xian'er quickly walked up to Ling Feng with her hands behind her back while playfully sizing him up before nodding. "I didn't expect Tianwei Academy's uniform to look so good on you."
Ling Feng rubbed his nose. "I really didn't expect to meet you here."
"Neither did I, but thinking about it, it's not surprising. With your talent, you're definitely qualified to enter Tianwei Academy." Lin Xian'er narrowed her eyes. "By the way, aren't you a yellow-tier student? How come you're here in the sky-tier student area? If some people with ulterior motives see you, they might cause trouble for you."
"I-I'm not!"
Lin Xian'er glared at Ling Feng. "I've been to the training grounds of the East Court's sword team a few times before. I've watched them participate in some training matches with the sword teams from other courts. I'll take you there."
"Thank you very much, Ms. Lin," Ling Feng said with a slight smile.
"Hmph, it seems that you’ve forgotten that I told you to just call me Xian'er last time!" Lin Xian'er pouted, clearly implying she wouldn't lead the way unless he complied.
"Alright." Ling Feng nodded. "Thanks, Xian'er, for showing me the way."
"Hmph, that's more like it!" Lin Xian'er gave Ling Feng a disdainful look. "Follow me!"
Following Lin Xian'er, they weaved through rows of neatly arranged buildings until they reached a majestic structure.
Before them stood a massive sword fighting platform, five times larger than the one used for the team competition with the West Court.
Behind the platform was a three-story hall, with a horizontal plaque above it reading 'Limitless Sword Dao.'
This was evidently the training ground of the East Court sword team.
"Here we are. You can go in yourself. I heard the training of the sword team is very secretive, and non-members are not allowed to observe." Lin Xian'er said enviously while gritting her teeth. "I need to go find my teacher. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, and thank you for bringing me to the sword team," Ling Feng said gratefully, watching Lin Xian'er leave. Then, with a sense of anticipation and excitement, he strode towards the hall.
Starting from today, Ling Feng was going to become a member of the East Court's sword team!
With a mix of anticipation and excitement, Ling Feng strode towards the hall.
He had a feeling that when he pushed open that door, a whole new life would await him...
