Chapter 35: Chapter 34: Must Be the Sword Master’s Illegitimate Child

Mu Nanqing’s eyes flashed with a trace of disgust, just as she was about to refuse.

Lu Zhuoyan and Shi Nian spoke in unison: "Great."

Mu Nanqing glanced at the two of them: "???"

Lu Zhuoyan smiled: "Brother Li, I’m the newest disciple just taken in by the Ling Tian Sword Master, my strength is inadequate, after many years of cultivation, I only have the Foundation Establishment Stage of cultivation. If Brother Li could take us under your wing, that would be wonderful, otherwise, the few of us, I’m afraid we’ll only have a dead end."

Mu Nanqing: "???"

Shi Nian quickly followed up: "Yes, yes. I’m just a little baby at the Qi Refinement Realm, without Brother Li, we really couldn’t survive."

Mu Nanqing’s face stiffened.

Li Nanfeng, on the other hand, was quite pleased, he looked at Lu Zhuoyan with a smile: "This junior brother seems very unfamiliar to me. When did the Ling Tian Sword Master take you as a disciple? I actually didn’t know."

Lu Zhuoyan took out a handkerchief and coughed twice, putting on a frail appearance: "My health isn’t good, the Master found me a cave dwelling nearby to let me cultivate inside. These few years, this is my first time going out, it’s normal for Brother Li not to know about me."

Shi Nian nodded repeatedly: "Indeed. Our little junior brother’s health is really too poor. The Master is so worried about him that he usually sends things for cultivation inside and never allows him to go out."

Li Nanfeng’s gaze became somewhat peculiar.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Lu Zhuoyan is a genuine man, from this description, he would have thought the Ling Tian Sword Master had stashed a concubine outside.

His expression remained gentle though: "It turns out Junior Brother Lu has poor health, then how could the Ling Tian Sword Master bear to let you come to the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land?"

Lu Zhuoyan showed a confused expression: "I... I also don’t know what happened. One day while I was cultivating in the cave dwelling, a token suddenly appeared there, and a voice reminded me to acknowledge the master by dripping my heart’s tip blood onto it, so I did, and then I received the news of the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land."

"Oh?" Li Nanfeng’s gaze flickered.

He wasn’t doubting Lu Zhuoyan’s words, he just thought, could this be the handiwork of his Master?

It should be like this then.

The Sect Leader found out that the Ling Tian Sword Master had hidden a little disciple, so he used some means to send Lu Zhuoyan in as well.

Tsk tsk.

Look at this maneuver by the Master.

One Myriad Magic Forbidden Land expedition, and he could get the Ling Tian Sword Master to lose three disciples.

Such scheming!

Simply terrifying!

Admiring his own Master in his heart, Li Nanfeng’s expression did not change, he said with a smile: "Junior Brother need not worry, with me here, we will certainly be able to leave successfully."

"Thank you, Brother Li." Lu Zhuoyan showed a reliant face: "You are the best person I’ve ever met."

Li Nanfeng smiled.

"Right right right. Brother Li is the best." Shi Nian also nodded along.

Li Nanfeng’s smile at the corner of his mouth stiffened for a moment.

He didn’t know why.

Even though Shi Nian was also flattering him, he just felt something was off.

Not like this Junior Brother Lu, who sounded very sincere.

"Then let’s move forward. We’ll be able to leave this place just ahead." Li Nanfeng said enthusiastically.

Mu Nanqing really wanted to protest.

But.

Her seemingly frail and incapable little "junior brother" had already scurried off, following closely behind Li Nanfeng.

Mu Nanqing lowered her voice: "Little Nian, have you gone mad?"

Shi Nian smiled brilliantly: "Senior Sister, don’t you think that in this boring life, we need a little fun. Looking at Brother Li, he really does seem like a good source of entertainment."

Mu Nanqing was recognized for her cold and self-restrained demeanor, but in this moment, she really wanted to roll her eyes grandly.

Considering her image, she struggled to hold back.

"Brother Li." Lu Zhuoyan had practically become Li Nanfeng’s little shadow, his eyes full of adoration: "Brother, you look so formidable. Not like me, totally useless, always just ending up spitting blood."

As he spoke, Lu Zhuoyan took out a handkerchief and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Li Nanfeng gave a slight smile: "Disciple brother, if you cultivate well, you can do it too in the future."

Lu Zhuoyan sighed, looking somewhat depressed: "Even if I try harder, I still can’t reach the realm Brother has achieved. It just makes me sad, Master is so good to me, yet I am nothing but a waste."

Li Nanfeng’s gaze flickered, seemingly asking casually: "Does your Master, dote on you a lot?"

"Yes." Lu Zhuoyan said naturally: "I’ve had a strange poison in me since I was young. If it weren’t for Master applying all kinds of methods to save my life, I wouldn’t even be here. It’s just, Master often stares at me blankly, saying I look very similar to her. Brother Li, do you know who Master is talking about?"

Lu Zhuoyan stared with his big Carly Rae eyes, a picture of innocence.

Li Nanfeng felt a surge of emotion; he suddenly looked at Lu Zhuoyan intently.

Just by appearance, Lu Zhuoyan was definitely top tier.

This made him think of a rumor about Ling Tian Sword Master.

It was said that in his youth, he had promised his life to a woman, who had a beauty that could overthrow states and cities, and they were heralded as a celestial couple at that time.

Later for some unknown reason, they couldn’t make it to the end.

Could it be...

An idea flashed through Li Nanfeng’s mind.

Could this Lu Zhuoyan in front of him not just be Ling Tian Sword Master’s disciple, could he be... the child of the Sword Master and that woman!

That would explain why Ling Tian Sword Master would accept such a disciple and cautiously keep him hidden.

Li Nanfeng’s spirits lifted, his smile growing even more genuine: "Disciple brother, none of that matters. What’s important is that Ling Tian Sword Master truly values you."

"Of course." Lu Zhuoyan nodded naturally: "Just a few days ago, Master found out that I accidentally bonded with a token. To save my life, Master gave me quite a few precious gifts."

Lu Zhuoyan wore a look of pride.

"Oh?" Li Nanfeng became more interested: "What precious gifts?"

Lu Zhuoyan hesitated: "Master said, I can’t let others know."

Li Nanfeng was about to say something.

Then, Lu Zhuoyan suddenly spoke again: "But Brother Li, you’re so nice, you don’t count as ’others’."

While talking, Lu Zhuoyan took out one item after another from his storage bag.

Elixirs.

Magic treasures.

Rare Materials.

Talismans.

All sorts of things, he seemed to have everything.

Li Nanfeng’s eyes widened in astonishment.

This...

If he’s not the illegitimate child of Ling Tian Sword Master, then I won’t believe it!

However, Lu Zhuoyan only showed them off a bit before putting everything back.

Li Nanfeng forcefully suppressed the greed in his eyes, smiling on the surface: "The Sword Master really treats you well, disciple brother."

"That’s natural. The most beloved by Master, is me." Lu Zhuoyan looked around and suddenly lowered his voice: "But this time, the most precious item isn’t with me."

"Oh?" Li Nanfeng’s eyebrows raised.

Lu Zhuoyan’s voice grew even lower: "Sister Shi’s treasure sword is the most precious treasure this time."

Li Nanfeng, who had already been suspicious about Shi Nian’s treasure sword, couldn’t help but ask: "What do you mean? It looks like just an ordinary treasure sword to me."

Lu Zhuoyan said softly: "Of course, you can’t tell from the surface. This is a Lifebound Sword forged by Master using his heart’s tip blood."
