The man picked up two leaves from the ground, folded them, and placed them near his mouth. He puffed out a little air, moved his lips back and forth on the leaves, and casually pinched them with his fingers. A very ancient melody then flowed from his mouth.
The melody is melodious, seemingly concealing verdant mountains, floating clouds, a sea of swords, and a lake of knives.
Linghu Lan suddenly felt that the martial arts world was very close to her.
After the man finished playing the tune, he smiled and asked, "Was this tune pleasant to listen to?"
"It sounds great!"
"I knew you'd like it, that's why I specially learned it. Looks like my penny wasn't wasted." The man looked at the beautiful scenery and spoke with admiration.
Linghu Lan smiled; she had heard almost everything.
It's time to find a peaceful place to receive the storyline.
The man chuckled, "Junior Sister, in a while I'll be going to the Lingxiao Sect with my second and third junior brothers to deliver a message. It'll be a long time before I see you. Will you miss your senior brother?"
“No!” Linghu Lan said calmly.
If my sister wants to date other men, my sister Tang will rebel!
The man paused, a bitter smile appearing on his lips, but he remained silent.
Linghu Lan thought for a moment and said, "I'm going back."
"Wait!" The man stood up, a hint of sadness flashing across his face, but he quickly masked it with a smile.
"You've been asking to practice the later moves of the 'Floating Flowers and Piercing Clouds Hand' for a while, but your master has been refusing. I secretly taught it to you. Memorize it first and practice it quietly in your spare time. However, you still can't practice too much. Your skill level isn't high enough yet, and practicing too much might hurt you."
Linghu Lan lowered her head, her brows furrowing slightly. This senior brother was being far too kind to his junior sister.
Buying candied hawthorns, playing tunes, and even defying the master's orders to teach swordsmanship—clearly, the seeds of affection have been sown.
She thought for a moment and said, "I don't plan to learn it for now. I'll wait for Master's permission. I'll be going now."
The man seemed somewhat surprised. His usually lively and adorable junior sister seemed like a completely different person today. He was a little unwilling to accept it and asked, "Junior sister, what's wrong with you today? Are you still angry?"
"No, I just want to be alone for a while."
In a moment of panic, the man jumped in front of Linghu Lan, blocking her path, his voice filled with anxiety. "Junior Sister, did I do something wrong?"
Linghu Lan paused for a moment, then spoke, "Senior Brother, are you stopping me?"
"I... well, junior sister, you go ahead!"
The man stepped aside, and Linghu Lan walked down the mountain path.
The man called out from behind, "Junior Sister, are you going down the mountain? It's getting late, and there's no time to sneak down. If you really want to go, I'll risk being punished to take you down tomorrow. Don't go down the mountain by yourself; I'm really worried about you going alone."
Linghu Lan: "..."
She doesn't know the way, and even getting back is a problem. It seems safer for her to receive the plot here.
She thought for a moment, then walked towards the man, smiling, and said, "Senior Brother, come here, I have something to say to you."
The man, unsuspecting, relaxed and walked over. "Junior Sister, what do you want to say?"
Linghu Lan gestured for him to bend down, then whispered, "Senior Brother, has anyone ever told you that if you hit someone in the neck from behind, they'll be knocked unconscious?"
The man was extremely surprised. Before he could answer, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He looked at Linghu Lan in disbelief and then fainted.
Linghu Lan helped him up and let him lean against a rock, while she sat on the other side of the rock.
A system notification popped up: [Receive Storyline: y\/n]
Linghu Lan clicked the 'y' button.
