"bunker?"
Su Qingyang turned around, glanced at Xiao Linlin suspiciously, and then admonished her lightly: "Read less of those strange martial arts novels. Use that time to solidify your foundation."
"Lin'er took pity on you and took you in at the mountain gate. He spoiled you too much, but you should be more sensible."
"Yes...!"
Xiao Linlin was startled, stuck out her little tongue, and quickly agreed.
After Su Qingyang turned around, she winked at Su Lin. Su Lin met her gaze and understood the unspoken sigh and hint she was implying.
"I never expected that even I, a mere follower, would be assigned to play a role by the system!"
"Big brother, quickly think of a way to get that welfare benefit! Hurry!"
Su Lin withdrew his gaze and stood in the room, looking around. It was an elegant private room, probably where Su Qingyang was temporarily staying alone.
The other fellow disciples had already gone back to their respective places and did not come in with them, showing a strong sense of hierarchy.
Su Qingyang sat alone at the table, flipping through a secret manual. Without looking up, he said, "Lin'er is acting strangely today. She's not in a hurry to go back to her room. Is there something important she wants to tell her father?"
Su Lin remained silent and shook his head: "No, I just want to spend more time with my father."
He wasn't sure what kind of personality the character he was playing was, so he could only try to give a safe answer.
This is also a limitation of role-playing games: the mechanism only requires players to play their roles well, but does not provide more detailed information about their roles.
For example, the character's personality, interpersonal relationships, secrets, etc., will not be mentioned at all; players will have to discover them for themselves.
If you figure it out correctly, then you're right; if you figure it out incorrectly, then you've failed!
"You were eager to see the excitement before leaving the mountain gate, but after you left, you became taciturn and silent. Is it because the outside world isn't as wonderful as you imagined?"
Su Qingyang smiled and looked up, staring intently at Su Lin, before lowering his head to continue flipping through the book in his hands.
Before Su Lin could answer Su Qingyang's question, he casually asked, "How's your Zhou Tian Sword practice going?"
Zhou Tianjian?
Su Lin's expression remained calm, but she felt helpless inside.
He doesn't know anything about the Zhou Tian Sword, does the Xuanxu Blade Technique count?
etc!
I'm holding a knife, but my character comes from a sword-wielding sect?
That doesn't make sense!
Su Lin realized what was happening, and Su Qingyang calmly said, "As expected, we were still negligent."
"You ultimately prefer using a knife, but we come from the Sword Sect. Don't you understand that?"
Su Qingyang looked up at Su Lin, who remained silent.
Clearly, the game mechanics have arranged every detail perfectly, even including the memory modification of Su Lin's preferred weapon, which is a [knife].
"People from Jian Ge who have loved swords since childhood? What a ridiculous joke!"
Su Qingyang gave a faint sneer and shook his head: "Before your mother passed away, I promised her that I wouldn't force you. She told me: 'Swords and blades share the same origin, so there's no need to worry too much.'"
"But in Jian Ge, while using a knife is not forbidden, it is inevitable that it will attract gossip from others."
“I, Su Qingyang, don’t care about these things, but you are still young... If you don’t correct your ways, how will you face yourself in the Sword Pavilion after I pass away?”
Su Qingyang paused, then suddenly shouted sternly, "Lin'er, raise your head! Look at me!"
Su Lin met his gaze and saw a hint of regret and helplessness in the man's eyes.
The fact that the son of a master swordsman did not want to inherit his mantle was a lifelong regret for Su Qingyang.
The two men stared at each other for a moment. Su Qingyang was the first to look away and sighed softly, "Fine, go ahead. But you must promise your father that even if you don't want to study, you must still read it thoroughly. I will do my best to arrange your future path."
Read it thoroughly?
So, you're going to teach me the Zhou Tian Sword technique?
This is a good thing!
Without much hesitation, Su Lin readily nodded in agreement: "Okay."
"You brat, you agreed so readily."
Su Qingyang sneered, pointing at the bamboo scroll on the table that was emitting a red glow: "Don't try to cheat, go now!"
Um?
Does this mean that Zhou Tianjian is right in front of us?
Su Lin pondered for a moment, then walked to the table and reached out to touch the bamboo slips that were emitting a red glow.
[Congratulations, player! You have discovered the "Zhou Tian Sword - S-Rank Martial Arts Technique"!]
Only when the prompt appeared before his eyes did Su Lin realize with delight that this bamboo scroll was not some searchable welfare container! It was actually "Wild Big Red"!
This is the Zhou Tian Sword Manual, a closely guarded secret of the Tianyong Sword Pavilion! And it's right here, openly displayed!
Su Lin had previously witnessed the crowd's verbal attacks on the young man in the courtyard, from which he had roughly learned about the distribution of power among the righteous sects. Tianyong Sword Pavilion was the current leader of the righteous sects!
In other words, the Zhou Tian Sword Manual is the ultimate skill in this game world! It's one of the hardest benefits to obtain in the game!
"What are you all standing there for! Look!"
Su Qingyang scolded, "What do you think I brought the sword manual for? If you don't live up to expectations, you'll really become the good-for-nothing Zhou Tian Sword Master that others talk about!"
Okay, okay, the NPCs are forcing me to learn S-rank skills!
Su Lin was overjoyed, but he remained expressionless, sitting silently at the table and slowly opening the sword manual.
He played the role of a son who was "unwilling but had no choice but to obey" very appropriately and well.
However, the well-behaved little girl beside him lacked that temperament and couldn't help but beam with joy, her happiness evident in her words.
"What are you laughing about for!"
Su Qingyang was still angry and coldly glanced at Xiao Linlin: "As a daughter, you disregard etiquette and even show your teeth when you laugh. Don't you think you're being ridiculous!"
