There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 323
Chapter 323: 323, The highest level of danger
Logically, since Lin Chan has already reached the minor completion stage of Sword Intent, her Sword Intent should not be vague and unreal.
Unless her Sword Intent was meant to be this way from the start.
The blue ice flowers were beautiful, somewhat like snowflakes, but were a pale blue color, adding a hint of hazy beauty.
“Little Chan is an Aquatic Swordsman. From birth, she had a chill within her, which led to her poor physical constitution and forced her to endure pain from time to time.”
“Now that she has comprehended this Sword Intent of either snowflakes or ice flowers, it makes sense.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
What he found most interesting was that Lin Chan’s Sword Intent was like a flower in the fog, carrying a hazy and unreal feeling.
And Lu Xun’s own Sword Intent was fog!
The master’s Sword Intent was fog, and the disciple’s Sword Intent was the flower in the fog.
“That’s quite interesting.” He smiled slightly.
He felt that together they, the master-disciple pair of Sword Embryos, added a hint of legendary color.
Lu Xun sat cross-legged within the Boundary Monument, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed his surroundings.
Despite the restrictions of the Boundary Monument, he could still feel the indescribable resonance between him and Lin Chan.
This resonance had always been present, and with the increasing strength of Lu Xun and Lin Chan, this mental connection seemed to be strengthening!
There was a hint of mutual understanding and connection.
To say it more romantically, it was as if they had a telepathic connection.
“It’s a strange feeling, and I don’t know the cause.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
Was it because he was Lin Chan’s “grandfather” and had taken on a task as a Guide to help the World Protagonist grow?
Or was it because he followed the path where man himself is the sword, and Lin Chan was a Natural Sword Embryo who was highly sensitive to swords?
Either could be possible.
As for this, Lu Xun didn’t feel any discomfort.
After all, she was a charming and lovely young girl who was well-behaved and obedient in her daily life.
Moreover, Lin Chan was his precious disciple. With this feeling in existence, if Lin Chan is in danger in the future, he should be able to sense it, which would allow him to protect her better.
Little Chan had endured hardship like a wild grass by the roadside since her childhood.
Lu Xun was willing to hold an umbrella for her, or even become her umbrella.
He wondered what other uses this resonance might have.
“I’ll study it carefully with her after we return to the Sect.”
Outside the Boundary Monument, the place was exceptionally lively at this moment.
Lin Chan was still in a resting state, while Mao Nanbei and Ji Li were guarding her.
The Sword Cultivators around were left speechless by the shocking scene, while the sand sculpture players were completely excited!
“Wow! These three NPCs are all just to my liking!”
“None of your business, she’s obviously my wife!”
“Are you guys possibly members of the peach-full web meeting?”
“You ought to be ashamed! Isn’t it clear? All three of them are love interests of Purple Palace!”
“Exactly, as the World Protagonist, Purple Palace is bound to have many romance lines!”
“Speechless, don’t you guys check the forum? That cat-eared loli is Purple Palace’s senior, the one breaking through is Purple Palace’s disciple, and the last one is a good friend Purple Palace knew before joining the sect.”
“So what? Who said you can’t date your senior, disciple, or good friend?”
Compared to the noise of the sand sculpture players, the stationed team from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain were rather quiet.
Because Lin Chan’s current performance had surpassed that of Ye Sui’an at the time.
At her realm, Ye Sui’an had not yet achieved minor completion of Sword Intent.
Any cultivator would feel envious of such an outstanding disciple.
Jealousy makes me look ugly, jealousy makes me isolate myself, jealousy makes me decompose…
But they would never stoop to the nefarious act of strangling the promising seedlings of others out of envy.
Yet… They were really so envious!
It could only be said that the Sword Fate in recent years had not remained in my West State, but had gone to the Eastern Demon Sect.
Moreover, the flourishing of this sword fate was excessive—two natural sword embryos came at once.
In fact, if Lu Xun hadn’t crossed over, following the usual course, Ye Sui’an would have been deeply captivated by Lin Chan’s superior sword Dao achievements and would have pursued her relentlessly.
Despite Lin Chan not being moved by this, devoted single-heartedly to Dao, One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain both supported Ye Sui’an’s approach.
After all, if they truly became a couple, Lin Chan, being a natural sword embryo, would practically be considered family.
Regrettably, going by the current trend, such a thing seemed utterly impossible.
By the time Lin Chan consolidated her realm and opened her eyes, Lu Xun inside the boundary monument planned on saying goodbye to Dida.
“Dida, I have to leave,” Lu Xun said as he got up.
“Yes, okay.” Though reluctant at heart, Dida didn’t try stopping him.
“Next time I come to the West State, I’ll visit you first and tell you some new stories,” Lu Xun said with a smile.
The stories he told were rather simple-minded but fresh and charming, yet Dida loved to hear them.
He sometimes wondered whether stupid gamers telling stories under the boundary monument in his previous life may have gained the favor of the monument, possibly even leading to fortuitous encounters.
Sometimes, hidden plot lines would arise from such seemingly absurd situations.
“Then let me take you out,” Dida said to Lu Xun.
As Lu Xun nodded, an azure-blue light enveloped him, teleported him outside, and landed him next to Lin Chan and the others.
Upon seeing Lu Xun, the surrounding sword cultivators and players began to draw nearer, but Mao Nanbei waved them away, keeping them at a distance before leading everyone away.
Once a certain distance away from the boundary monument, Lu Xun took out a paper crane and flew towards the border of West State.
At this moment, he felt a “gaze” converging on him.
It was Dida’s perception.
When he first came to West State, he discovered it thanks to his keen perception, feeling the boundary monument watching him, which later led to a series of events.
“Is it saying goodbye as I leave?” Lu Xun thought to himself.
“Dida mentioned that its perception could extend beyond the West State border; I’m somewhat curious about how far it can reach.”
The paper crane flew forward. Outside the West State was an area known as the Lost Forest.
Hmm, this name easily reminds people of a drama called “Detective Dee.”
This seldom-visited area is frequented by players—not because there are many sects like those in the Three Thousand Mountains, but because players like to come here for adventure.
The area is filled with plenty of medicinal herbs for refining pills and is also home to many strange miasmas.
Flying through the area without meeting the rare poison wind usually poses no problems. However, descending into it would mean courting both fortune and trouble.
Lu Xun had passed through here when he first came to West State.
Given his strength, even encountering a poison wind wouldn’t pose a significant problem.
The newly minted cultivators who had just stepped into the Initial Realm truly had the potential to get into trouble.
If it were his previous life, Lu Xun would definitely venture into the Lost Forest.
However, now such actions held little significance and offered only average gains, and thus weren’t worth the effort.
After flying forward a certain distance, Lu Xun suddenly stopped the paper crane.
After staying still in midair for less than a second, Lu Xun made up his mind and turned around to fly back.
“What’s wrong, Little Junior Brother?” Mao Nanbei asked, puzzled.
Lu Xun didn’t talk but had a grave expression.
Because just before, he had received a notification.
Thanks to the perception he gained after swallowing the mysterious pearl, he had just detected the presence of the foreign race in his vicinity!
Although there was only one member, Lu Xun still decisively chose to turn back.
“Given the situation, I may just have coincidentally encountered a hidden member of the foreign race.”
“Based on the foreign race’s current behavior, they’re sure to act low-key. As long as it’s unrelated to the altar, they won’t get involved in most affairs.”
“Better safe than sorry,” Lu Xun thought mentally.
Even with a bodyguard like Mao Nanbei, a sixth realm pet… cough cough, Lu Xun still chose to take a detour.
Because the prompt that popped up stated:
“[Ding! A foreign race member found: unable to probe information.]”
“[Danger Level: Extremely Lethal!]”
