Chapter 457: Worried About My Health

Sun Xiurong was surprised to hear that. Her expression changed ever so slightly from its usual calmness. "I truly wasn’t expecting you to say that, Immortal Lin, not after you made it clear that you wouldn’t mind spending some time together."

Lin Feng also got surprised, as he wasn’t expecting her to say that. He understood very well why she wanted to stay with him. No doubt she genuinely wished to help him, but she was also very curious about him. That much was easy to discern. Even though her face remained expressionless, her eyes betrayed her real intentions.

"Fairy Sun, you should be careful with your words or else my expectations will grow, and right now, it will be better for my own good if that doesn’t happen..."

Sun Xiurong felt slightly embarrassed when she understood what he was implying. Now that she thought about it, she shouldn’t have said it that way.

Even so, she was now extremely curious about what he meant by his last sentence.

No man in this world would distance himself from courting one of the most beautiful women of the current era. She herself had gone through these troubles, so she knew it very well.

So what was he afraid of? She wanted to ask, but would it be right for her to ask that? After all, this might again lead to an unwanted misunderstanding. She sighed inwardly. Whatever, he would understand what she meant. She was really too curious to let it go. "Immortal Lin, might I ask why you want to avoid someone like—well, let’s just say me?"

Lin Feng smiled with a little amusement. "Fairy Sun, I will say this clearly, you are too curious for your own good..."

Sun Xiurong’s eyes widened slightly. By any chance, did he already know?

"Perhaps, but until yesterday, I had never met a person capable of stirring my curiosity to such an extent. Even though I am still young, I have lived long enough to know that you are far from ordinary."

Lin Feng shook his head,"I understand that even now you are just expressing your true feelings without any improper intentions, Fairy Sun, but believe me, if anyone else heard our conversation, then they would think you are flirting with me..."

Sun Xiurong averted her eyes from looking at him after hearing that. "Forgive me, I really am bad at expressing myself..." She got embarrassed again.

Lin Feng looked at her a little deeply. The more time he spent with her in this enclosed room, the more he felt that he was getting attracted to her, and it’s a dangerous thought to have right now. "Ohh well, fine, I will satisfy one of your curiosities. Choose wisely and ask me about it. If it doesn’t affect me in any way, then I will answer truthfully..."

Sun Xiurong got surprised before her eyes shone with a little excitement. She wanted to know many things from him, but the one thing she wanted to know the most was the reality of his battle sense. "Immortal Lin, have you really achieved battle sense?"

Lin Feng wasn’t surprised hearing her ask that. He had given her enough hints for her to realize that. "What do you think?"

Sun Xiurong exhaled slightly. "Well, I want to believe that you have, but even my master failed to achieve that, so I am a little reluctant to just accept it without solid evidence..."

"Fair enough." Lin Feng chuckled. "How about this, try touching my torso without holding back right now. If you fail to do so, then you will get the answer you are seeking..."

Sun Xiurong liked this idea. If he really was able to predict her moves, then there was no need to doubt anymore. "Alright, then please prepare yourself..."

She wasn’t sitting far from him, and once she changed her posture slightly, she came close enough to touch him with her fingers.

She gave him one last look and found that he was as calm as he had been while talking with her. Was this his confidence? Let’s see.

Her insight into the sword was enough for her to find his weak spots where he wouldn’t be able to block. Suddenly, her eyes widened as his hand moved exactly to the place where she had just thought of attacking.

Her heartbeat escalated. "This..."

There was no denying it, he really read through her intentions like an open scroll. She didn’t stop though and decided to attack again, but the result was similar. His hand moved again and stopped at the exact location.

"Immortal Lin, I am happy that I am not your enemy..."

She was shocked inwardly, but she accepted it thoroughly. There wasn’t an ounce of doubt that it wasn’t battle sense. She wondered how her master would react once she told her about it. "Immortal Lin, would it be alright if I mentioned it to my master?"

If he wasn’t comfortable revealing his secrets to anyone else, then she would respect his decision.

Lin Feng sighed inwardly. "Most of my problems seem to originate from your master right now..."

Sun Xiurong’s expression changed to bewilderment. "Hm... I am not able to follow through. Why do you say that?"

Lin Feng shook his head with a reluctant smile. "I am just an ordinary ascender who is only at the Early Stage of the Initiation Realm. Tell me, should I be worried about my health if your master disliked me somehow?"

Lin Feng wasn’t being overly cautious. It is how most of these mighty figures behave. It wouldn’t matter if he had saved her or not. To them, everything is driven by fate.

If Sun Xiurong had died, then her master would have accepted it as unfortunate fate, and after taking revenge, she would have moved on. Similarly, Sun Xiurong’s survival will be just a fortunate fate for her.

Her master might reward him with good fortune, but she definitely wouldn’t allow him to become any kind of hindrance in her path.

When Sun Xiurong understood the hidden meaning behind his words, she finally understood why he wanted her to leave earlier.

"Hehehe..."

She wasn’t able to stop herself from laughing.
