Chapter 233: Accepting Qi Nongxia as a Disciple (Part 1)
Lin Shen heard someone call him "Big Brother."
After following the sound, he found Qi Cui'e downstairs. Lin Shen came down from the roof and asked, "Little girl, why don't you go and rest, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Qi Cui'e said, "Big brother hasn't slept either."
After hearing this, Lin Shen smiled bitterly and complained in his heart: How can you compare with me?
Lin Shen leaned over and said, "Little girl, I'm different from you. I don't need to sleep normally."
Qi Cui'e said, "Big brother, I want to ask you for a favor!"
Lin Shen looked puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qi Cui'e suddenly knelt in front of Lin Shen and said, "Please teach me martial arts, big brother. I want to become stronger!"
Lin Shen was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't believe his ears. He muttered softly, "What's going on? The leader of the Five Wonders of Xianxia wants to worship me as his master. Now I've messed up the master-disciple relationship too."
Lin Shen scratched his head, completely confused by Qi Cui'e's kneeling.
At this time, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu, Jiang Waner and Qi Cui'e's parents heard the noise and ran out, and saw Qi Cui'e kneeling in front of Lin Shen.
Lin Yueru asked, "Anos, what are you doing? What's going on here?"
Lin Shen scratched his head and said, "This little girl...she...she wants to take me as her master."
Everyone exclaimed "Ah!?" in unison, and Qi's father said, "Cui'e, what are you doing?"
Qi Cui'e looked at her father and said, "Dad, I've thought about it. The Black Tiger Village broke into Qijia Town and caused heavy losses to the town because we were too weak.
My daughter was almost sold into a brothel. I don't want this to happen again. I want to become stronger, to protect my parents, the townspeople, and the people I care about!"
Lin Shen secretly admired the little girl in front of him, who had the heart to protect others at such a young age.
But the problem is that his martial arts were honed in the trial field, and those special skills and spells were given by the system and cannot be taught. It is impossible for him to give a Sharingan to the little girl.
Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu and Jiang Waner were all moved by Qi Cui'e's kindness.
Zhao Linger said, "My dear sister, it's a good thing that you want to become stronger.
(Looking at Lin Shen) Brother Anos, please help her.
Lin Shen crossed his hands and tapped his arms lightly with his index and middle fingers. In fact, he had always wanted to recruit the Five Wonders of Xianxia under his command, and Qi Cui'e in front of him was one of them.
But Lin Shen’s skills really cannot be taught, and this cannot be explained clearly.
Lin Shen said, "Little girl, I have something to hide. I understand your desire to become stronger and protect the people you care about. I've also...
(Glancing at Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru) I too have fought fierce battles with powerful enemies, risking my life, to protect those I care about.
Upon hearing this, the four girls understood immediately. Lin Shen looked at Qi Cui'e and remembered the life-and-death battle he had with the water monster.
Lin Shen looked at Qi Cui'e, his bright big eyes revealing a firm look.
Lin Shen began to feel conflicted again and started pacing back and forth, muttering to himself as he paced, either "Oh", "This" or "Shhhh".
Lin Yueru looked at Qi Cui'e and said, "Little sister, you get up first."
Qi Cui'e shook her head and said, "If big brother doesn't take me in, I will never get up!"
Lin Shen was confused by Qi Cui'e's attitude and after thinking for a moment, he used his ring to conjure up a long sword and placed it next to Qi Cui'e.
He then picked up another branch, gestured twice, and walked back to Qi Cui'e.
Lin Shen said, "I'll give you a test. Pick up the sword and attack me. If your performance is acceptable to me, I'll consider accepting you. Otherwise, I can only say that you and I are not destined to be master and disciple."
Before Qi Cui'e could express her opinion, Anu shouted out, "Brother Anos, are you mistaken? With your strength, one hundred Qi Cui'es combined wouldn't be enough to fill your teeth. Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Lin Shen ignored Anu and just said, "Qi Cui'e, whether you can pass this test or not depends on you."
After saying that, Lin Shen turned his back and stopped looking at her.
Anu didn't quite understand Lin Shen's intention, and Lin Shen didn't say anything, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.
Except for Lin Shen, everyone looked at Qi Cui'e, wanting to see her choice.
Qi Cui'e looked at the long sword placed aside and began to feel conflicted, but Lin Shen ignored her.
Qi Cui'e's mind was flooded with scenes of herself being chased and wounded by the bandits from the Black Tiger Village, as well as the townspeople being massacred by the bandits. As she recalled the scene, she clenched her fists so tightly that you could hear the crackling sound.
After a quarter of an hour, Qi Cui'e picked up the long sword on the ground, stood up and stabbed Lin Shen in the back with the sword.
Lin Shen didn't even look back at Qi Cui'e, but just used a branch to block Qi Cui'e's sword.
In fact, although Lin Shen turned his back, he had been using his observation skills to observe Qi Cui'e's every move.
Qi Cui'e was confused by Lin Shen's performance and said, "How...how could this be?"
Lin Shen turned around at this time, looked at Qi Cui'e and said, "Lesson one: Don't turn your back on your enemy. If the enemy has his back to you, he will definitely be on guard."
Qi Cui'e's parents looked bewildered. Mother Qi looked at Zhao Ling'er, pointed at Lin Shen and asked, "Well...how did you do this, benefactor?"
Even though he had his back to Cui'e the entire time, he could still sense how Cui'e attacked him."
Zhao Linger didn't know how to respond, so Lin Yueru interrupted and said, "Anos is much more powerful than you think.
He didn't seem to be looking at Cui'e, but in fact he was always observing her every move."
Lin Shen complained in his heart: Yueru, you are the worm in my stomach. It seems that we have been together for a long time. They can understand my thoughts and feelings.
After Qi Cui'e put away her sword, Lin Shen shouted, "Little girl, why did you stop? Did I tell you to stop? Come again!"
Qi Cui'e was startled by Lin Shen's shout and attacked Lin Shen again with her sword, but her attack was easily deflected by Lin Shen. After Qi Cui'e fought one-sidedly for more than thirty rounds, Lin Shen seized the opportunity and kicked Qi Cui'e away.
Qi Cui'e was lying on the ground, unable to get up.
When Qi Cui'e's parents saw their daughter being beaten, they wanted to pick up weapons and fight Lin Shen to the death, but were held down by Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru.
After Qi Cui'e struggled to get up, Lin Shen said, "Why, is this all you have realized?"
Qi Cui'e spat out a mouthful of blood and attacked Lin Shen with the sword again.
Qi Cui'e approached Lin Shen and stabbed with a sword. Lin Shen dodged to the side and at the same time grabbed Qi Cui'e's neck and slammed her to the ground. Qi Cui'e screamed "Ah~!"
Lin Shen pushed Qi Cui'e to the ground and said, "Little girl, you are no match for me, give up!"
Qi Cui'e's father shouted, "You are such a hero if you bully my daughter! Come here and I will beat you to death."
Qi Cui'e's mother cried out of heartache when she saw her daughter being bullied.
Qi Cui'e grabbed Lin Shen's arms with both hands, trying to break free, but she couldn't get away no matter how hard she tried, and Lin Shen showed no sign of letting go. Qi Cui'e said, "I...I will never give up!"
