Chapter 172: Chapter 171 Keeping a Low Profile

Having said that.

Lei Qianxiao couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

A young man couldn’t suddenly change radically; there was only one possibility, he had hidden his true self for the first eighteen years.

The Lin Hao from two months ago wasn’t the real Lin Hao, only from the moment he burst forth, he showed his true self.

Lei Qianxiao’s words made Lin Hao slightly relieved; he had thought the former had guessed that he was reborn.

It seems he was worrying too much.

Rebirth, such an unimaginable notion—how could ordinary people think of that?

His sharp gaze gradually became peaceful, since the other party thought he had hidden for eighteen years, let it be that he had hidden for eighteen years:

"Dean Lei, you’re very clever, to have guessed even this."

"Hmm, so, can you tell me your identity now?" Lei Qianxiao asked earnestly, "Mr. Lin, I absolutely refuse to believe you’re just an ordinary youth from the countryside, I’ve checked, you are not your parents’ biological child."

Behind Lei Qianxiao was the power of the Huaxia officials; Lin Hao wasn’t surprised he could find out these details.

However, he hadn’t figured out how to explain yet, and counter asked, "Dean Lei, since you’ve guessed that I’ve hidden myself, why not take a guess at my identity?"

"Lin Family, you must be from that Lin Family." To Lin Hao’s surprise, right after he finished speaking, Lei Qianxiao confidently said, "Only with their help could you so easily exterminate the Xu Family."

Lin Hao’s lips curled up slightly in a smile, neither denying nor admitting.

As for which Lin Family Lei Qianxiao mentioned, he had no idea.

"I am aware, the Lin Family always keeps things confidential. Rest assured, Mr. Lin, I won’t inquire further." Lei Qianxiao suddenly smiled, expressing his gratitude to Lin Hao, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for the Swordsmanship techniques and insights you provided. On behalf of Binhai University, all the tutors, and students, I thank you."

"No need, it was merely a small effort." Lin Hao said.

"Mr. Lin, I have a somewhat forward request," Lei Qianxiao said a bit awkwardly.

"Speak."

"Mr. Lin, could you perhaps, teach at the Inner Courtyard for a longer period?"

Lin Hao: "No."

That direct? Lei Qianxiao was stunned, not expecting Lin Hao to reject so decisively and straightforwardly.

There was no way to continue the conversation today.

After a brief silence, Lei Qianxiao forced a strained smile, "If that’s the case, then forget it. Rest well, I won’t bother you anymore."

Lin Hao: "No need to see me out."

Truly a person from the Lin Family, unpredictable and eccentric as always, Lei Qianxiao sighed inwardly, walking towards the dormitory door.

Just as he reached the doorway, it seemed he recalled something, suddenly stopping and turning around, his gaze turning a bit solemn:

"Mr. Lin, even though you are from the Lin Family, there is still something I must remind you."

"Hmm?" Lin Hao frowned, "What is it?"

"The actions you’ve taken in Binhai have already caught the attention of the relevant departments. I hope you can keep a lower profile, although ordinary agencies can’t manage Cultivators."

"However, Huaxia isn’t without management plans for Cultivators. If you overdo it, Dragon Needle might take action against you."

"If Dragon Needle intervenes, even the Lin Family might not be able to protect you."

"Dragon Needle huh?" Lin Hao had heard of this organization, a special department established by Huaxia officials to manage the balance between Cultivators and ordinary people.

"Alright, Dean Lei, I understand."

"Good, then I’ll take my leave."

As Dean Lei pushed open the door and left, Lin Hao’s lips curved into an inexplicable smile.

Keeping a low profile.

He always thought he had been keeping a low profile.

If he still needed to be more low-key.

Sorry, he couldn’t do it.

As for the organization Dragon Needle, he wasn’t particularly concerned about it; as long as he didn’t act against ordinary people, they wouldn’t come after him.

Even if they come knocking at his door, he remains fearless.

In the early morning, the forest is shrouded in heavy mist and dotted with dew, turning the mountaintop of the Inner Courtyard into a fairyland where one feels they could touch the clouds, and the morning sun refracting through the clouds casts a gentle glow on the grass.

Early in the morning, in front of the library, all disciples from the Inner Courtyard have already gathered downstairs at the dormitory building, waiting quietly.

Every single one of them has eyes filled with anticipation, eagerly discussing.

"How did your swordsmanship practice go yesterday?"

"I learned a bit, it’s profound, but I’ve made a breakthrough in my realm."

"Me too, that treatise was about swordsmanship but it turned out to be quite useful for cultivation as well."

When a slender figure emerges from the corridor on the first floor, the crowd gradually quiets down.

All eyes focus on that slowly approaching figure.

That figure, is naturally Lin Hao.

"Last night I saw you all practicing till late, well done,"

Lin Hao led them to a spacious grassy area: "Since you’ve been practicing all morning, let’s see what you’ve achieved."

"Su Mo, go fetch me a stick."

"Ah?"

In the crowd, Su Mo paused, another stick? Yet, he did not hesitate, ran to a tree, broke off a branch with his bare hands, and handed it to Lin Hao.

"Good."

Lin Hao looked at the crowd: "Since you practiced all night, let’s see your achievements, who wants to spar with me first?"

Looking at the stick in Lin Hao’s hand, everyone smacked their lips, none daring to step forward.

They all knew that the eighteen people who got hit yesterday didn’t seem hurt at first, but by evening, wherever Lin Hao struck, bruises had appeared.

Now, who would dare to spar with Lin Hao?

"I will." Surprisingly, Hong Dagang stepped forward, "Teacher Lin, Hong Dagang seeks your guidance!"

Facing Lin Hao, his arrogance from yesterday was gone, his tone filled with respect and admiration.

He had read Lin Hao’s notes, and benefited immensely.

He deeply felt that what Du Shengfang taught him was trash!

Lin Hao’s instruction for one day surpassed Du Shengfang’s guidance for three years.

Lin Hao smiled: "Very good, worthy of being a Grandmaster, but unlike yesterday, I won’t hold back today. Be prepared."

"Okay." Hong Dagang’s hand shook and the Giant Sword on his back sprang forth into his hand, "Teacher Lin, you be careful too!"

With these words, the Giant Sword furiously struck towards Lin Hao.

No defense, only attack.

The strength of the attack was ferocious, swirling Primordial Qi surrounding the blade, immensely powerful.

This was a Grandmaster’s full-powered strike!

Strong, fast, and urgent.

The sword blocked the surrounding air, unless one’s realm was higher, no one could avoid this sword; they had to withstand it head-on.

"What is Hong Dagang doing, isn’t he afraid of injuring Teacher Lin?"

"Yes, although Teacher Lin is greatly talented, he is only a Martial Artist."

"Damn it, if Teacher Lin gets hurt, how will we continue to learn?"

Many disciples, anxious and worried for Lin Hao.

Lin Hao stood his ground, motionless.

Only when the sword was upon him did he raise his stick and swung it down.

"Clang."

The stick struck the blade of the sword, the Giant Sword trembled, a tremendous force transmitted, nearly wrenching the sword from Hong Dagang’s grip.
