Chapter 10: The Brutal Master
Lin Du’s master, Yan Ye, is the 98th generation disciple of the Supreme Sect. He is the uncle of the current head of the Supreme Sect, but younger than the head. According to legend, once he draws his sword, his sword energy can freeze the entire Zhongzhou.
From beginning to end, there is only this description in the text.
But the plot does not say that Lin Du’s master is actually... an exhibitionist.
Except for the outer robe, which is probably put on temporarily, there is almost no clothing underneath. Lin Du glanced down and saw the lean and powerful calf muscles when he sat cross-legged.
Lin Du turned his face away, "Master, you should wear a pair of pants."
Ju Yuan was shivering from the cold. Although he was already a Great Perfection in the Huiyang Realm, he was still a little affected by the strange world of Luoze, and his breath turned into white mist.
"Uncle Master, I have brought the people, so I will take my leave first?"
Yan Ye responded, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Lin Du only felt a chaotic snowfall in front of him. When the snowflakes were about to fall, the black figure gradually became clear.
White hair, black clothes, gray eyes, born very tall, broad shoulders and long legs, bee waist and monkey back, looking down at the little thing in front of him, there was no emotion in his eyes, looking at Lin Du like an ice sculpture, without any warmth, then stretched out a hand and pressed it on her head.
Lin Du groaned, and felt a stream of cold air rushing from the top of his head to his internal organs and meridians.
"Ah..." Yan Ye spoke in a calm tone, as clear as ice, "You have a natural ice spirit root, your heart is 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, but the heart is the most difficult to keep 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 eat up all the money probably can't support you. You can just follow me in the future."
Lin Du answered obediently, "Thank you, Master."
"What's your name?"
"Lin Du."
"Which Du?"
"To save others, you must save yourself first."
The child did not raise her head when talking to the elders. Yan Ye's hand on her head went down and pulled the peach branch that tied her hair up. Her long hair was fixed for a while and did not fall down. He did not care. He moved forward along the clear jawline, pinched her delicate jaw with his cold hand, and then forced her to raise her head.
"Dirty little thing."
He looked at the overly dark eyes of the little apprentice with interest. When the three whites of his lower eyes were half drooped, a flash of fierceness flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in the moment he raised his eyes, leaving only a pure alienation and fatigue.
"Do you think your master is different from what you imagined?"
Lin Du thought. Probably, she met his gray eyes that were clearly not frivolous at all. She didn't understand why this man was completely different from the group of real people in front of her.
"Since you want to save others, you must save yourself first," the man suddenly exerted force and broke the ice with his fingers. Water rushed out in an instant, and then quickly began to form a thin layer of ice. Before Lin Du could react, she was used as a hammer, breaking through the thin ice, and then fell into the icy spring.
In a panic, she reached out and grasped the edge of the ice cave, which was three or four inches thick, and then climbed up with force.
"Then try it first, can you save yourself?"
Yan Ye squatted down and forcefully pushed away Lin Du's hand that was clinging to the ice cave.
Lin Du cursed in her heart, and then she was hit by the suddenly turbulent water and fell into the ice.
The biting cold penetrated into the deep layer of skin from every pore, and then the muscles and meridians all over her body trembled.
She wanted to swim upstream, but was washed down by the water. The strength of this body was not enough for her to break the thick ice.
Suffocation, coldness and huge impact followed one after another. Lin Du did not feel the system's reply, but she did not care.
She must not die at the hands of her evil master today.
One day, she will throw this dead pervert who does not wear pants into the ice hole to clean his brain and see what kind of mess is inside.
I don't know how far I was washed away, but Lin Du had completely run out of oxygen. My lungs were so stuffy that they almost burst. The spiritual power in my dantian was rioting everywhere, but it was pressed more and more condensed by the cold air rolling in through my meridians.
In the extreme stuffiness, Lin Du's consciousness began to become confused. She vaguely realized that the impact seemed to have disappeared. She suddenly looked up and found that she was getting farther and farther away from the ice surface. It was clearly night, but there was still light in Luoze. She saw the frozen transparent ice surface through the soft water flow.
No, I have to go up.
Lin Du instinctively went up, kicking her legs hard, and she didn't even notice that the stuffiness in her lungs was slowly lessening.
Until she touched the solid ice, she was certain in her heart that the purse on her waist had been washed away by the water. She was washed up, and only her fists were left.
Lin Du gritted his teeth and cursed the evil master eight hundred times in his heart. Then he raised his fist heavily and punched the ice.
Nothing happened on the ice.
She felt the cold light aura in her dantian becoming more and more solid. She tried to mobilize her spiritual power. The spiritual energy in her dantian slowly extended from the middle meridian to her arms, and then to the back of her hands. Lin Du's heart moved and he used all his strength. When his dantian was about to run out, he accumulated strength and punched the ice heavily.
The resistance of the water made this punch not so powerful, but the strange thing was that as soon as the ice touched the fist with white light, it immediately made way for Lin Du as if it had touched a similar fist.
Lin Du went upstream, and the moment she broke through the water, fresh air filled her lungs.
She had never realized that breathing could be so wonderful and smooth, 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.
He had actually prepared himself for the possibility that this child would not be able to figure out the trick, and he would just wait until she could no longer hold on before pulling her out, but he did not expect that she would really 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, and she was breathing heavily, and her whole body was shaking, not because of the cold, but because she had exerted too much force.
He simply 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, and her wet clothes dried up in an instant, sticking 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. At this moment, his chest rose and fell about the same as a cat.
Seeing that she was taking a long time to recover, Yan Ye sighed and took out a pill from his hand. "I don't know if the effect of the medicine has changed. Take it."
A cold pill was stuffed on her lips. She hesitated for a moment without opening her mouth, then slowly climbed up and pursed her lips to look at her evil master.
Even though she had figured out that he probably wanted to use this method to burst open her lungs, she still couldn't help cursing.
"Master, your method of teaching your disciples is really unique."
Yan Ye laughed, "I haven't seen anyone for five hundred years. If it weren't for the will of heaven, I wouldn't see anyone until I ascend." "
My little disciple, you have to understand that it's normal for a mountain idler to be alone and have nothing to do in order to practice better and to become a god."
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 around in the world but also wanted to stay out of it.
There is no such a good thing in the world. This little brat should be teased so that he would understand that it is not just her time to tease others, but others can also control her at will.
"You have to remember, 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 like a game, and never thought about the hidden dangers in the world of cultivation.
Those things came too fast and too easily, making her feel that it was a simple matter, hanging in the air, until Yan Ye pressed her into the rushing glacier.
At least she is awake now.
"Thank you for your teachings, Master."
Yan Ye smiled, "But from now on, the words I said before don't count."
"Because now, I have your back."
