Chapter 240: Meeting Lin Xian’er Again!

"Eh? Ling Feng, is it you?"The voice carried an incredible surprise, even a hint of disbelief.

"Someone knows me?" Ling Feng was taken aback and immediately turned around, only to see a familiar figure standing a hundred steps away, dressed in a flowing white gown, her beautiful eyes filled with delight.

This woman, it was none other than Lin Xian’er!

(PS: Please note, the current Lin Xian’er is still unaware of the matters concerning the Wenxian Sect, and she doesn’t know that Lin Canglang is no longer the Sect Leader, and Ling Feng has never known that Lin Xian’er is the daughter of Lin Canglang.)

Beside Lin Xian’er stood another girl in a pale yellow long dress, a couple of years older than Lin Xian’er, and although her beauty wasn’t stunning, she was still undoubtedly attractive.

"Miss Lin?" Seeing Lin Xian’er, Ling Feng’s face broke into a smile.

He only knew that Lin Xian’er was also a student of the Heavenly Position Academy, and apparently, she had a teacher who was the vice-principal of the academy. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be an A-class Disciple.

In fact, Lin Xian’er’s cultivation wasn’t sufficient to qualify as an A-class Disciple, but her teacher had seemingly placed a Spiritual Treasure within her body. Once that treasure was refined by Lin Xian’er, her cultivation would soar immensely, far surpassing the typical A-class Disciple.

"I thought I recognized the wrong person!" Lin Xian’er said with a hint of joy, turning to look at the girl beside her, and cheerfully said, "Senior Sister Yun, he’s the Ling Feng I mentioned before. You go ahead and find the teacher, I’ll be there shortly."

The girl known as "Senior Sister Yun" glanced at Lin Xian’er, then at Ling Feng, with a teasing smile crossing her face, "Alright then, I won’t disturb you two."

Lin Xian’er flushed and glared at Senior Sister Yun, "That’s not it, Senior Sister, don’t talk nonsense!"

"Giggle giggle..." Senior Sister Yun suppressed a laugh and then turned away.

Lin Xian’er then hurried over to Ling Feng’s side, hands clasped behind her back, playfully sizing him up and nodded, "It surprisingly suits you, wearing the Heavenly Position Academy’s uniform."

Ling Feng touched his nose, "I really didn’t expect to bump into you here."

"Me neither, but when I think about it, it’s not strange. With your talent, it’s only fitting for you to be in the Heavenly Position Academy." Lin Xian’er squinted, "By the way, aren’t you a Yellow Character Disciple? What brings you to the A-class Disciple area? If someone with ulterior motives sees you, they might pick a fight."

"Don’t worry about that, no one will trouble me." Ling Feng responded with a light smile, seeming to recall something, he quickly took out a handkerchief from the Spirit Storage Ring and handed it to Lin Xian’er, "Miss Lin, this is your handkerchief, it ended up in my possession last time."

"You still kept it!"

Lin Xian’er looked at the handkerchief, her face slightly blushing, then shoved it back into Ling Feng’s hands, "Since you’ve kept it for so long, you might as well keep it."

"Ah?" Ling Feng was momentarily stunned, and could only put the handkerchief away, internally muttering: It’s of no use to me...

Seeing Ling Feng putting away the handkerchief, Lin Xian’er then asked, "By the way, Brother Ling, I saw you looking around earlier, are you lost?"

"That’s not the case." Ling Feng shook his head, "I’m looking for the East Courtyard Sword Team’s training ground, do you know where it is?"

"East Courtyard Sword Team?" Lin Xian’er flinched, "You can’t be serious? You’ve joined the Heavenly Position Academy just a few days ago? Although your strength isn’t bad, the requirements for joining the Sword Team are high. I suggest you focus on cultivating for a year or two within the academy, and then consider these things when you become an A-class Disciple."

"Um..." Ling Feng watched Lin Xian’er earnestly persuading him, internally amused, patiently waiting for her to finish, then took out a token, calmly said, "Miss Lin, this is the team member token given to me by the captain of the East Courtyard Sword Team."

"What token, you weren’t swindled, were you?" Lin Xian’er reached out to take the token and glanced at it, suddenly frozen in place.

This was truly the Identity Token of a Sword Team member, and moreover, a member of the first team!

Lin Xian’er felt as though her entire worldview was collapsing. She knew Ling Feng was exceptionally gifted, but this was ridiculously exaggerated.

Ling Feng had joined the Heavenly Position Academy no more than a month ago, and he had already been recruited by the Sword Team?

A storm of shock and awe churned inside Lin Xian’er’s heart for a long, long time before finally calming down.

Lin Xian’er handed the Sword Team member’s token back to Ling Feng, took a deep breath, her face slightly flushed.

Thinking back to how she had foolishly advised Ling Feng to keep a low profile and train for another year or two only moments ago, she almost wished she could crawl into a hole.

"Ha-ha, Miss Lin, are you blushing?" Ling Feng noticed Lin Xian’er’s adorable demeanor and a smile tugged at his lips.

"It’s... it’s not!"

Lin Xian’er glared at Ling Feng, "I’ve been to the training grounds of the East Courtyard Sword Team a few times before and watched them compete in some training matches with other courtyards’ teams. I’ll take you there."

"Then thank you, Miss Lin," Ling Feng said with a gentle smile.

"Hmph, didn’t I tell you last time that you could just call me Xian’er?" Lin Xian’er pouted, clearly signaling that if he didn’t address her informally, she wouldn’t lead the way.

"Alright." Ling Feng nodded, "Then please lead the way, Xian’er."

"Hmph, that’s more like it!" Lin Xian’er rolled her eyes at Ling Feng, "Come on!"

Following Lin Xian’er, they wove through neat rows of buildings until finally, they reached a rather grand structure.

What appeared before them was a huge Sword Fighting Platform, at least five times larger than the one used for the team match with the West Courtyard.

Behind the Sword Fighting Platform stood a three-story tall hall, with a horizontal plaque hanging in the center front that read "Sword Dao Without Limit."

Clearly, this was the training ground for the East Courtyard Sword Team.

"Here we are, you should go in by yourself. I’ve heard that the Sword Team’s training is very secretive, and those who aren’t team members can’t watch," Lin Xian’er said with a hint of envy. She bit her lip, "I need to go find my teacher now. Goodbye." Thɪs chapter is updated by NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet

"Goodbye, and thank you for bringing me to the Sword Team." Ling Feng smiled appreciatively at Lin Xian’er and watched her leave before he turned to face the grand hall ahead, feeling a surge of excitement bubbling within him.

From today onwards, he would be a member of the East Courtyard Sword Team!

With a mix of anticipation and excitement, Ling Feng strode towards the hall.

He had a premonition that as soon as he pushed open that door, a whole new life would be awaiting him...
