Chapter 16: I’m a Kid from the Mountains, Haven’t Seen the World!
In fact, she had known Lin Beifan for a long time.
It was three years ago when she traveled outside in her true appearance and encountered a formidable enemy, being chased over 3000 miles.
Bathed in blood all the way, her life was hanging by a thread.
Just when she was on the brink of death, Lin Beifan appeared.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, similar in age to her younger brother, dressed in bizarre clothes, with short hair, a sunny and handsome appearance, bright and cunning eyes.
At that moment, she had no way out and could only rely on the youth before her.
So, she mustered all her strength and shouted, “Save me…”
The youth approached, squatted down, and gently said, “Beautiful sister, I can save you, but you have to promise me a condition!”
“What condition, you say!” She weakly replied, her hand gripping the sword tightly.
She determined that if the other party tried anything inappropriate, she would fight to the death to take him down.
“My condition is very simple. You just need to teach me the knowledge, customs, and culture of this world. For example, how many countries and sects are there, what the martial arts system is like, how everyone cultivates, and so on…”
She was dumbfounded at that moment!
What kind of condition was this?
Weren’t these common sense? Did he need her to teach him?
Seemingly sensing her confusion, he explained, “I’m a kid from the mountains, haven’t seen the world!”
This sentence was full of 800 schemes, and she didn’t believe a single punctuation mark of it.
However, she didn’t have the intention to pry into other people’s secrets.
“Alright… I’ll teach you!”
“Thank you! By the way, beautiful sister, what’s your name?”
“I’m called Lai… Bao’er!”
“Hello, Bao’er sister, my name is Lin Bei!”
Well, during their first encounter, neither of them told the truth.
However, they mysteriously came together.
In the following days, the young boy took care of her meticulously, bandaged her wounds, brewed medicine, and searched for food for her.
Afraid that she might feel cold at night, he used his own body to warm the blanket before letting her sleep inside.
Attentive and caring in every way.
In return, she kept her promise and informed him about the world.
The young boy seemed to know nothing about this world, curious about everything, asking and wanting to know about everything.
His mind was very active, often asking many unconventional questions that broadened her horizons.
As they spent more time together, their relationship grew stronger, resembling that of siblings.
One day, her enemies caught up with them, threatening both of their lives.
The young boy bravely stepped forward, cleverly leading them away, and returned safely after three days.
Terrified, she scolded him, “Lin Bei, how could you do such a thing? It’s very dangerous, do you know that?”
The young boy nodded, “I know! But if I didn’t do it, both of us would have died! By doing it, at least one of us can survive!”
“But you could have died!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t die. Good people don’t live long, but troublemakers last for centuries! Look, I came back just fine, right?”
“Promise me, don’t do such foolish things in the future, okay?”
“Okay!”
At that moment, her feelings toward the young boy underwent some changes.
Becoming somewhat attached, unable to resist wanting to get closer, almost becoming addicted.
This left her somewhat bewildered and scared, but she couldn’t help but anticipate and become intoxicated in it, unable to extricate herself.
One day, the young boy suddenly brought up a question.
“Bao’er sister, I want to learn martial arts!”
“Then go to the Tai Xuan Sword Sect!”
“You can’t teach me?”
“My abilities are limited, and I can’t teach you much! If you want to learn martial arts, go to the Tai Xuan Sword Sect! It’s the nearest prestigious sect around here, and you should be able to learn a lot!”
“Bao’er sister, are you also in the Tai Xuan Sword Sect?”
“I am!”
“Okay, then I’ll go there to find a master and learn!”
So, guided by her, the young boy decided to go to the Tai Xuan Sword Sect.
As days passed, her injuries healed, and it was time for her to leave.
She felt very reluctant but had to leave, whether for the young boy or for herself.
So, she left, leaving behind some money and a few words:
“I’ll wait for you at the Tai Xuan Sword Sect!”
Later on, they did meet at the Tai Xuan Sword Sect.
However, while she recognized the young boy, he didn’t recognize her.
She couldn’t bear to leave the young boy alone and silently watched over his growth. If he encountered any problems, she would intervene to help him out.
Even though she didn’t receive any response or thanks from the young boy, she was content, filled with sweetness.
“Sister… sister… what’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly lost in thought?”
The sudden voice interrupted Lai Xiaoqing’s reminiscence.
Lai Xiaoqing glared at Lai Xiaoqiang without a good mood. “What are you yelling for?”
Lai Xiaoqiang blinked in confusion. “I’m not yelling; I just want to ask you, what exactly do you like about Lin Bei? As your brother, I should have the right to know, right?”
“Fine, I’ll tell you now!”
