Chapter 383: Are the Two of You Really Going?

“Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Lin, are you there?”

It was the first day after Jiang Qingshang’s departure.

It was also the first day of Lin Xun’s slacking off.

Lin Xun was currently lying in his room, taking a nap.

Yaya, naturally, was also curled up on Lin Xun’s belly, dreaming sweet dreams.

For Lin Xun, things like cultivation weren’t really necessary.

As for Yaya…

Since he was napping himself, it wouldn’t be right to make Yaya go and cultivate.

In that case, they might as well take a nap together first.

However, just as the man and the fox were sleeping soundly, a young girl’s soft call came from outside the courtyard.

Yaya’s ears twitched, and she rubbed the drool from the corner of her mouth onto Lin Xun’s chest, saying groggily:

“Brother Lin, someone is calling for Brother Lin outside…”

Lin Xun wiped his drool with the tail he was holding and smacked his lips. “Yaya, you heard wrong. Yaya is dreaming.”

“Senior Brother Lin?”

The call came again from outside the courtyard.

“Mmm~”

Yaya sat up groggily from Lin Xun’s belly, sitting on him in a ‘duck sit’ position, her small hands grabbing Lin Xun’s collar and shaking it gently.

“Brother Lin, Brother Lin, there really are guests. It’s Yaya’s Junior Sister Sisters.”

“Hmm?”

Only then did Lin Xun wake up from his dream; he indeed heard the voices of the Dragon Cry Twin Girls.

“Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Yaya.”

Upon seeing Lin Xun and Yaya, Long Leier and Long Yaner bowed, gathering their skirts.

The two identical immortal flowers made one’s vision slightly dazed.

“Hello.” Lin Xun suppressed a yawn and returned the bow. “I was just napping and didn’t hear you. Please forgive me, Junior Sisters.”

“Senior Brother Lin, you’re being too polite.”

“Please come in and talk, ladies. I’ll go brew some tea for you.”

“There’s no need to go to such trouble…” Long Leier and Long Yaner hurriedly waved their hands timidly, afraid of disturbing his peace.

“It’s no trouble at all.”

Yaya took the soft hands of her two Junior Sister Sisters.

“Junior Sister Sisters, come in! Yaya will take good care of you both~”

“Then… then sorry for the intrusion…”

Seeing the little girl’s enthusiasm, the two sisters couldn’t refuse.

Moreover, for them, Yaya’s cuteness was like a clear spring, allowing them to temporarily forget their real-life worries.

The Dragon Cry Twin Girls sat in the courtyard while Lin Xun brewed tea for them.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Lin.”

The two sisters stood up to take the teacups, showing extreme refinement.

Lin Xun could tell that this refinement came from the heart, not just a facade for public show.

They didn’t look down on him at all for being a “newly initiated” Cultivator.

Lin Xun smiled. “The tea is good, but my brewing skills are lacking. Please bear with me.”

“Senior Brother Lin is too modest; it’s already very delicious,” Long Leier praised.

“I wonder what brings you two Junior Sisters here?”

After the sisters had taken a few sips of tea, Lin Xun broached the subject.

“It’s like this.”

Long Leier stepped forward and spoke softly.

“Just now, Sister Xiao Chan came to deliver a letter. She wants us two sisters to accompany Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Yaya to Tianji City tomorrow to attend Miss Sikong’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

We came to say hello to Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Yaya.”

“I see. You two must be going as representatives of the Dragon Cry Holy Land to offer congratulations.”

Although Lin Xun didn’t know why the Dragon Cry Twin Girls had come here to study.

However, for Sikong Wangxing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony, the Nine Great Holy Lands would still give Tianji City some Face.

“I… I suppose so.”

As soon as Lin Xun finished speaking, the Dragon Cry Twin Girls lowered their eyes, their small hands clutching their hemlines, their expressions appearing somewhat complex.

At this moment, Lin Xun noticed that something might have truly happened in the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

Rumor had it that the Dragon Cry Holy Land was not that stable to begin with.

Could it be that Long Ming’s cultivation being crippled by me had affected these two sisters?

But the problem was, the selection of a Holy Land’s Saint or Saintess was never hereditary; it was always the most talented Disciple of the same generation.

Although the Dragon Cry Twin Girls had weak personalities, their talent and strength were indeed quite good, more than enough to hold the position of Saintess.

Even if the Dragon Cry Holy Land were to choose a new Holy Lord, logically, it shouldn’t affect them.

If they really were affected…

Why would the Dragon Cry Holy Land send a Flying Sword message from thousands of miles away, asking them to attend Wang Xing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony?

Lin Xun was a bit confused; he didn’t understand what the Dragon Cry Holy Land was playing at.

What exactly had happened to these sisters?

But no matter what happened, Lin Xun felt he was somewhat responsible.

Because he had crippled their father.

But this was the way of a Cultivator.

Karma between Cultivators is one’s own responsibility; if they hated him and wanted to avenge their father, then let them come.

However, in the end, whether they could actually get their revenge, Lin Xun couldn’t guarantee.

“Junior Sister Sisters, Junior Sister Sisters…”

Seeing her two Little Junior Sisters looking somewhat dejected and heavy-hearted, Yaya’s eyes blinked.

“Are Junior Sister Sisters homesick?”

Hearing Yaya’s voice, the Dragon Cry Twin Girls were both startled.

Looking at Yaya’s innocent eyes, both girls nodded gently.

“It’s okay.”

Yaya’s small hands covered the backs of theirs.

“Once we finish our studies, you two Junior Sister Sisters can go back.”

The eyes of the Dragon Cry Twin Girls both trembled.

Unconsciously, the eyes of the two girls were already welling up with crystalline mist.

“Mhm.”

The twin sisters nodded heavily.

“It won’t be long before we go back. When that time comes and the family matters are settled, would Senior Sister Yaya like to come and play?”

“Mhm, mhm, Yaya wants to go play.”

“Then let’s pinky swear.”

“Pinky swear, pinky swear~”

“Pinky swear, cross your heart, hope to die, no changes for a hundred years.”

Yaya extended her short pinky finger and hooked it with the sisters’, reciting the innocent nursery rhyme together.

Although a hundred years was far too short for a Cultivator.

But in Yaya’s mind, a hundred years was already a very, very long time.

Lin Xun also used the excuse of having things to do outside to leave, asking them to look after Yaya and giving them some time together.

Although he didn’t know what had happened, if the innocent and pure Yaya could provide some healing for their souls, that was good.

In the evening, Yaya was whisked away to sleep with them, leaving Lin Xun alone in the courtyard.

Listening to the faint, pleasant laughter coming from the neighboring bedroom, Lin Xun felt that being alone wasn’t so bad.

Early the next morning, a Female Elder came to Saintess Peak to take Lin Xun and the others to Tianji City.

“Are the two of you really going?”

The Female Elder’s gaze lingered on the Dragon Cry Saintess, her eyes seemingly carrying a hint of pity.

“Yes!” the two young girls nodded. “We want to go.”

“Very well. With my Zilin Holy Land here, those people from the Dragon Cry Holy Land won’t dare to do anything.”

The Female Elder named Yun Yun said no more and summoned an Immortal Boat.

Over a month later.

Tianji City finally appeared before everyone’s eyes.
