When the disciples saw Lin Jichen coming back, they all saluted and greeted him.
Looking at the familiar sect, Lin Jichen was in a good mood, and the fatigue from the long journey was gone.
He smiled and nodded at everyone in response, but his steps became faster and faster.
"Shopkeeper Lin!"
A child's voice came from the side. Lin Jichen turned around and couldn't help but stop.
The little boy in front of him, dressed in the attire of the outer palace of the sect, was the orphan entrusted to him by Aunt Sun of Ping'an City.
"Junior brother, you must not be disrespectful to the great elder. You must call him great elder." The senior brother beside him quickly corrected him.
Lin Jichen smiled and said, "No problem."
He walked over and saw that the little boy had grown taller and stronger after not seeing him for several months.
He scanned it casually and said with some surprise: "Have you entered the foundation building stage?"
He remembered that it had only been two or three months since Tongtong became a member of the Sword Sect, and he had already checked the other person's qualifications and found that he was mediocre. He expected that the child's future would be at the Golden Core realm at best.
They didn't expect that the other party would succeed in building the foundation so quickly. You must know that he is not a player but an NPC in the game. They can only rely on practicing meditation to improve their cultivation.
This speed is already very fast among NPCs.
Zheng Xiaotong smiled shyly, nodded and said, "Yeah, it's all taught well by Master and Elder Lin."
Lin Jichen asked curiously: "Who is your master?"
"He is the elder of the outer palace, his name is Wang Ping." Zheng Xiaotong replied.
"Wang Ping?"
Lin Jichen immediately remembered that Wang Ping was not the Sanren sword cultivator he met in the Ten Thousand Monsters Territory.
Later, under his recommendation, Wang Ping became a member of the Tianyan Sword Sect. He showed great talent and practiced very hard, so he was promoted to the inner palace not long after.
Later he also became one of the elders of the outer palace.
Lin Jichen never expected that Wang Ping would accept the mediocre Zheng Xiaotong as his disciple. Elders generally look down on disciples with poor talent.
He originally thought that Wang Ping accepted Zheng Xiaotong as his disciple because he knew that he had recommended him here.
However, Zheng Xiaotong's senior brother next to him explained: "The elder doesn't know something. Junior Brother Zheng is mediocre in talent, but he practices extremely hard. He relied on his own efforts to gain the favor of my master, and that's why he accepted him as his disciple."
Lin Jichen couldn't help but look at him differently when he heard this. He touched Zheng Xiaotong's head and said happily: "I am very happy that you have performed like this. I will study hard with Elder Wang Ping and keep up the good work. I am waiting for the day when you enter the inner hall."
Zheng Xiaotong nodded seriously and said, "I know! Lin Zhang... No, it's Elder Lin."
Lin Jichen laughed and said, "You should call me Shopkeeper Lin, don't be so harsh."
"Yeah! Shopkeeper Lin!"
Lin Jichen thought for a while, took out a bag of spiritual stones, and searched for a long time in the storage ring before finding a book of swordsmanship that could be learned in the Qi Refining Realm and gave it to Zheng Xiaotong.
"try hard."
After doing this, he drifted away, leaving an excited Zheng Xiaotong looking at his back and vowing to work harder!
Lin Jichen, eager to return home, came all the way to the inner hall, because it happened to be early in the morning, when the disciples of the inner hall were in class.
As soon as he arrived at the square, he saw Chu Tianhan teaching the disciples seriously.
Seeing this, Lin Jichen felt a little guilty for no reason, and secretly prepared to take a detour.
Unexpectedly, Chu Tianhan had already noticed him as soon as he appeared.
"Junior Brother Lin, you are back."
All the disciples in the inner hall followed the call and when they saw Lin Jichen, they all saluted respectfully in unison.
Lin Jichen stopped where he was, his expression slightly embarrassed, he cleared his throat and walked forward.
"Yes, I just came back. Senior brother is in class, so I'm afraid of disturbing you. How about you continue?"
He prayed silently in his heart that Chu Tianhan must not let him teach. He could teach tomorrow, but don't ask him to teach today.
There was no other reason. He had just come back and wanted to see his master and junior sister as soon as possible. He had no intention of attending classes here.
Chu Tianhan seemed to see what he meant, and said helplessly: "It's good that Junior Brother Lin comes back. You can go and rest first."
Lin Jichen felt relieved, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your understanding. I'll go first and let's talk later!"
After saying that, the boy disappeared instantly.
Chu Tianhan muttered: "Junior brother Lin went out to practice and seems to have become much stronger..."
Behind Sword Palace Mountain.
The sword light flashed, and two beautiful figures were fighting fiercely.
Nangong Yuexiang was dripping with sweat and kept slashing at the opponent with her sword. However, the opponent took a leisurely stroll and easily defused every wave of her attacks, and still had time to give instructions.
"Yue'er, you have just achieved enlightenment not long ago. Remember that you must consolidate your cultivation. The best way is to continuously squeeze your energy and potential, accumulate experience in battle, and stabilize your Taoist heart."
"I understand, sister, come again!"
Nangong Yue gritted her silver teeth and prepared to attack with her sword again.
Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind that haunted her.
"Master! Little Senior Sister! I'm back!"
Suddenly, Nangong Yue had no intention of fighting anymore. The sword in her hand accidentally fell to the ground and she didn't react. She just turned around and ran towards the man.
Leng Feiyan rolled her eyes helplessly when she saw this scene, but when she saw the person standing in front of her in the distance, she couldn't help but raise her lips slightly.
"Little junior brother~"
Nangong Yue ran quickly and flew into Lin Jichen's arms like a baby bird returning to the forest.
The longing for reunion after a long separation turns into endless joy.
"Junior brother! You are finally back! I miss you so much!"
Lin Jichen hugged the beauty and stroked her fragrant back apologetically.
"It's my fault that I was gone for so long."
Nangong Yue shook her head and said: "I heard from my sister that you went out to find immortal weapons to practice. How can I blame you? As long as you come back."
Lin Jichen was stunned and said: "Sister?"
Nangong Yueqing raised her head slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, I match the head sister, hehe, how about it, don't you envy me?"
Lin Jichen's expression froze, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Leng Feiyan.
A blush flashed across Leng Feiyan's face. She pretended not to see him and said to herself: "It's rare for you and your husband to meet again. Let's talk about it carefully. I will go back to rest first."
After saying that, Leng Feiyan hurriedly walked away, not giving Lin Jichen any chance to speak.
Lin Jichen hesitated to speak, so he could only stay with Nangong Yue for now.
The two hugged each other for a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that it was still broad daylight, Lin Jichen would have been hugging his wife and warming up the bed.
"Junior brother, fortunately you came back in time. Brother Pastor Li is about to get married to Senior Sister Xinru. If you don't come back, you will miss the second brother's wedding."
Nangong Yue nestled in Lin Jichen's arms and talked about the sect.
Lin Jichen was a little surprised when he heard this. He really didn't expect that this kid Li Mu would deceive Xin Ru so quickly.
This boy can do it. It seems that he has completely won it. Fortunately, I returned early, otherwise I would have missed the opportunity to have trouble with this boy in the bridal chamber...
