Chapter 10 The Brutal Master

Lin Du's master, Yan Ye, is the 98th generation disciple of the Supreme Sect and the uncle of the current head of the Supreme Sect. However, he is younger than the head of the sect. It is said that once he draws his sword, the sword energy of this master can freeze the entire Zhongzhou.

From beginning to end, this is the only description that appears in the text.

But the plot didn’t say that Lin Du’s master was actually an… exhibitionist.

Apart from the outer robe, which was probably put on temporarily, there was almost nothing underneath. Lin Du glanced down and saw the strong and lean calf muscles when he sat cross-legged.

Lin Du turned his face away and said, "Master, you should wear a pair of pants."

Ju Yuan was shivering from the cold. Even though he had already reached the Great Perfection of Huiyang Realm, he was still somewhat affected by this strange land of Luoze, and the breath he exhaled turned into white mist.

"Uncle Master, I have brought the person here. I will take my leave now."

Yan Ye responded and raised his hand to snap his fingers. Lin Du only felt a heavy snowfall in front of him. When the snowflakes were about to fall, the dark figure gradually became clear.

He had white hair, black clothes, grey eyes, was very tall, with broad shoulders, long legs, a wasp waist and an ape back. He looked down at the little thing in front of him, with no emotion in his eyes. He looked at Lin Du as if she were an ice sculpture, without any warmth. Then he stretched out a hand and pressed it on her head.

Lin Du groaned, and felt a stream of icy air rushing rapidly from the top of his head into his internal organs and meridians.

"Ah..." Yan Ye spoke in a flat tone, his words as clear as ice, "You have a heavenly ice spirit root, your heart veins are damaged, your lungs are more than half blocked, and you are born weak. How did you live to the age of thirteen?"

Without waiting for Lin Du to answer, Yan Ye answered first, "Forget about the rest, the heart is the most difficult to maintain intact. But don't worry, since you are my destined disciple, I will definitely cure you. That group of idiots who only know how to live off their savings probably can't support you, so just follow me in the future."

Lin Du answered obediently, "Thank you, Master."

"What's your name?"

"Lin Du."

"Which ferry?"

"To help others, you must first help yourself."

The child did not raise her head when talking to the elder. Yanye's hand on her head moved down and pulled the peach branches that tied her hair together. Her long hair was fixed for a moment and did not fall down. He did not care. He moved forward along the clear jaw line, and his cold hand pinched her delicate jaw, then forced her to raise her head.

"Dirty little thing."

He looked into the overly dark eyes of his young disciple with interest. When his lower three white brows were half closed, a flash of fierceness flashed across his eyes for a moment, but it disappeared completely the moment he raised his eyes, leaving only a sense of pure alienation and weariness.

"Do you think your master is different from what you imagined?"

Lin Du thought, probably, she met his grey eyes which clearly showed no frivolity at all, and didn't understand why this man's style was completely different from the previous group of real people.

"Since you want to save others, you must save yourself first," the man suddenly exerted force and broke the ice with a flick of his finger. Water gushed out in an instant and then quickly began to form a thin layer of ice. Before Lin Du could react, he was used as a hammer and his body broke through the thin ice and then fell into the freezing cold spring.

In panic, she reached out and grabbed the edge of the ice cave, which was three or four inches thick, and then climbed up with all her strength.

"Then let's try first, can you save yourself?"

Yan Ye squatted down and forcefully pushed away Lin Du's hands that were clinging to the ice cave.

Lin Du cursed in his heart, and then was thrown into the ice by the suddenly turbulent water.

The biting cold penetrated deep into the skin through every pore, and then all the muscles and veins in the body began to tremble.

She wanted to swim upstream, but was swept down by the current. The strength in her body was not enough for her to break through the thick ice.

Suffocation, coldness and a huge impact followed one after another. Lin Du did not feel the system's response, but she could no longer care.

She must not die at the hands of her evil master today.

One day she would throw this pantsless pervert into an ice hole to cleanse his brain and see what kind of mess was inside.

He didn't know how far he was washed away, but Lin Du had completely run out of oxygen. His lungs were so stuffy that they almost exploded. The spiritual power in his dantian was raging everywhere, but it was pressed more and more condensed by the cold air that rolled into his meridians.

Lin Du was so depressed that even her consciousness began to become confused. She vaguely realized that the impact seemed to have disappeared. She looked up and found that she was getting farther and farther away from the ice. It was clearly night, but there was still light in Luoze. She saw the frozen transparent ice surface through the soft water flow.

No, you have to go up.

Lin Du instinctively moved upwards, pushing his legs hard, without even noticing that the stuffiness in his lungs was slowly lessening.

Not until she touched the solid ice surface did she realize that the purse around her waist had been washed away by the water. She was soaked from head to toe, with only her fists left to use.

Lin Du gritted his teeth and cursed that evil master eight hundred times in his heart. Then he raised his fist and punched the ice surface.

Nothing happened on the ice.

She felt the cold light in her dantian becoming more and more solid, and tried to mobilize her spiritual power. The spiritual energy in her dantian slowly extended from the central meridian to her arms, and then to the back of her hands. Lin Du's mind moved, and she gathered all her strength. When her dantian was about to run out of energy, she accumulated strength and punched hard on the ice.

Due to the resistance of the water, the punch was not that powerful. But the strange thing was that as soon as the ice surface touched the fist that was glowing white, it automatically made way for Lin Du as if it had touched a similar fist.

Lin Du went upstream, and the moment he broke through the water, fresh air poured into his lungs.

She had never realized that breathing could be such a wonderful and smooth thing, and for a moment she did not notice the person standing next to the ice.

Yan Ye was a little surprised, or rather, really surprised.

In fact, he had prepared himself for the possibility that the child would not be able to figure out the trick at all, and he would just wait until she could no longer hold on and then pull her out. However, he did not expect that she would actually come out by herself.

The black hair that had been thoroughly washed away by the water was still scattered in the water. The child's face was pale, he was breathing heavily, and his whole body was shaking, not because of the cold, but simply because he had exerted too much effort.

He quickly lifted her onto the ice and dried her hair which was already covered with frost.

Lin Du was still breathing heavily, without any reaction. She lay on the ice, exhausted. Her wet clothes dried up in an instant and stuck to her overly thin body.

The big hand covered her head again, and the familiar spiritual power poured into her body again.

“It’s much more useful than I thought.”

Yan Ye whispered, "Don't breathe so hard anymore. It's not good for your lungs that just burst open. You are safe now. Take your time and breathe with me."

Lin Du was very small and thin, and at this moment his chest rose and fell about the same size as a cat.

Seeing that she was taking a long time to recover, Yan Ye sighed, and with a thought, he took out a pill from his hand, "I don't know if the potency of the medicine has changed, just take it."

A cold pill was stuffed on her lips. She hesitated for a moment without opening her mouth. Then she slowly sat up and looked at her evil master with pursed lips.

Even though she had figured out that he was trying to get through her heart in this way, she still couldn't help cursing.

"Master's method of teaching his disciples is truly unique."

Yan Ye laughed and said, "I haven't seen anyone for five hundred years. If it weren't for the will of heaven, I would not see anyone until I ascend to heaven."

"My little disciple, you have to understand that it is normal for a lonely person in the mountains to be single and untied in order to cultivate better and become a saint in the world."

He could see clearly that the person in front of him seemed to have experienced a lot at a young age. There was a loneliness in his eyes. He seemed to care about nothing, but he cared about everything. He wanted to play in the world but also wanted to stay out of it.

There is no such good thing in the world. This little brat deserves to be taught a lesson so that she will understand that it is not just her who teases others, but others can also control her at will.

"You have to remember that when anyone can crush you to death, whether it's your master or anyone else, you should be careful."

Lin Du knew that she was careless. She came here as if it were a game and never thought about the hidden dangers in the world of cultivation.

Those things came so quickly and easily that she felt it was a simple matter. She was suspended in the air until Yan Ye pressed her into the rushing glacier.

At least she's clear-headed now.

“Thank you for your teachings, Master.”

Yan Ye smiled, "But from now on, what I said before doesn't count."

"Because now, I have your back."
