Chapter 332: Learn My Martial Arts, Kill Me

Seeing that Lin Shiyin did not believe him, Yu Xian’s lips curled: “You can try.”

Hearing this, Lin Shiyin stood up and decisively picked up the knife to slash at Yu Xian. However, with a ‘clang,’ the knife struck Yu Xian’s body, its edge dulled, yet Yu Xian remained unharmed.

Seeing this scene, a flash of shock and unwillingness crossed Lin Shiyin’s eyes. She gritted her teeth and swung the knife again, but the result was the same; the blade snapped in two the moment it touched Yu Xian’s body.

Yu Xian stood still, his expression calm, as if all of this was within his expectations.

Lin Shiyin finally realized that the gap between her and Yu Xian was far from something that could be bridged overnight.

She slumped onto the ground, the broken knife slipping from her hand, her eyes full of despair.

Seeing this, Yu Xian slowly walked to her side and said softly, “Miss Lin, I will give you a chance. Stay by my side and learn my Martial Arts. If you achieve great success, perhaps you can kill me.”

Yu Xian believed that Lin Shiyin was not someone who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. The reason she sought him for revenge and placed her hatred upon him was merely to give herself an excuse to keep living.

When Li Xunhuan pushed her toward Long Xiaoyun back then, she was heartbroken. Only after Long Xiaoyun was born did she place all her hopes on him. This also led to her spoiling Long Xiaoyun.

Now that Long Xiaoyun was dead, she didn’t know how to go on living. She certainly knew he wasn’t at fault, but she could only use hatred to numb herself.

This was also why he wanted to keep Lin Shiyin by his side. If he didn’t let Lin Shiyin seek revenge, she would probably choose to die.

Lin Shiyin looked up at Yu Xian, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

The gap between her and Yu Xian was truly too vast. Although she had been thinking of revenge recently, she had also heard about Yu Xian, heard how formidable he was.

However, she and Yu Xian were irreconcilable enemies!

So, even knowing she was no match, she had to try.

“How about it? Stay by my side, learn my Martial Arts, and kill me,” Yu Xian repeated.

Lin Shiyin was silent for a long time, her mind churning with thoughts. She knew this might be her only chance. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said coldly, “Fine, I agree to stay by your side and learn your Martial Arts, but don’t think I will be grateful to you because of this. When my Martial Arts reach Major Achievement, I will surely take your life.”

Yu Xian smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, “I will wait for that day. But before that, you must work hard.”

“I will work hard! I will definitely kill you!” Lin Shiyin still said through gritted teeth.

“Shiyin, Young Master Yu…” Li Xunhuan, standing nearby, couldn’t interject at all. Watching these two, he felt something strange, yet couldn’t pinpoint what it was!

Li Xunhuan opened his mouth, intending to say something more, but in the end, it only turned into a soft sigh.

He understood that anything he said now would likely fail to change Lin Shiyin’s decision. But why was Yu Xian doing this? Was he absolutely certain Lin Shiyin couldn’t kill him? Was it good for Lin Shiyin to follow him like this?

He wanted to persuade Lin Shiyin not to stay by Yu Xian’s side, but Lin Shiyin wouldn’t listen to him now!

“Cousin, don’t concern yourself with my affairs. I will take my own revenge!” Lin Shiyin said coldly.

Now that Long Xiaoyun was dead, Li Xunhuan wanted to start anew with her, wanting to take care of her for the rest of her life. But they could never go back to the past!

Moreover, it was Long Xiaoyun who had plotted for Li Xunhuan to give her up, and Li Xunhuan actually did! This was unforgivable! Therefore, they couldn’t go back! Furthermore, Long Xiaoyun was dead, and her only belief for living now was revenge!

Yu Xian looked at Lin Shiyin’s resolute appearance and nodded secretly in his heart. This woman indeed had some backbone.

He turned to look at Li Xunhuan and said, “Li Xunhuan, rest assured. Since I have agreed to let Miss Lin follow me to learn Martial Arts, I will teach her well.”

Li Xunhuan gave a wry smile and cupped his hands, “Young Master Yu is too kind. Since Shiyin has agreed, she will naturally abide by the agreement. I only hope she can let go of her hatred soon and start a new life.”

Yu Xian said no more, turned to look at Lin Shiyin, and said, “Miss Lin, starting today, you will travel with me.”

Lin Shiyin gave him a cold glance, said nothing, but silently stood up and followed Yu Xian.

Li Xunhuan watched their departing backs, his heart filled with mixed emotions, unsure whether this decision would be a blessing or a curse for Lin Shiyin.

“Young Master Yu, where are you going next?” Li Xunhuan ultimately couldn’t stop worrying about Lin Shiyin.

“No destination. I will wander the Jianghu,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

He knew what Li Xunhuan was thinking, but Lin Shiyin no longer cared about him, and he wouldn’t facilitate anything between Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, so Li Xunhuan might as well go cool off somewhere else.

Seeing Yu Xian say this, Li Xunhuan couldn’t say much more, only cupping his hands, “In that case, I must trouble Young Master Yu to take care of Shiyin. I hope Young Master Yu will be patient with her.”

Yu Xian waved his hand, signaling Li Xunhuan not to be so polite, and then took Lin Shiyin onto the road to wander the Jianghu.

Along the way, Lin Shiyin kept a cold expression, ignoring Yu Xian. Yu Xian didn’t mind, appreciating the scenery along the route himself. After walking for a while, Yu Xian noticed that Lin Shiyin was clearly very tired, yet she stubbornly kept up without a word.

What a stubborn woman! Yu Xian thought to himself.

Yu Xian sat down on a large rock by the roadside and then motioned for Lin Shiyin to sit down as well.

Lin Shiyin didn’t speak, but she followed Yu Xian and sat down.

“This is a Great Returning Pill. It can eliminate your current fatigue and also increase your Internal Energy by ten years,” Yu Xian took out an Elementary Great Returning Pill and handed it to Lin Shiyin.

He wouldn’t give her the upgraded version yet; he hadn’t won this woman over, so he had to take it one step at a time.

Lin Shiyin stared at the Great Returning Pill in Yu Xian’s hand, not taking it, but looking at Yu Xian in disbelief. She knew what a Great Returning Pill was—increasing ten years of Internal Energy! How many people begged for such a thing, yet Yu Xian just gave it to her?

Although Lin Shiyin was doubtful, the physical exhaustion and the temptation of the Great Returning Pill ultimately won out. Moreover, increasing her Internal Energy would give her a better chance to kill Yu Xian.

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly extended her hand, took the Great Returning Pill from Yu Xian’s hand, and put it in her mouth.

As the Great Returning Pill entered her mouth, Yu Xian suddenly struck at her. She didn’t have time to react, and a warm current instantly surged through her limbs and bones, dispelling her fatigue and making her feel unprecedented comfort.

She closed her eyes, silently sensing this power circulating within her body, and the vigilance she held against Yu Xian involuntarily lessened somewhat.

Yu Xian looked at Lin Shiyin, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips.

He knew that this Great Returning Pill would be the beginning of a shift in their relationship.
