Chapter 162 Senior Sister's Reprimand

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Lu Lin found Shen Luo. Shen Luo was in relatively good condition, unlike when they last met when she was bruised and swollen. At least on the surface, she looked normal and uninjured.

Lu Lin told Shen Luo about his idea of ​​going down the mountain to visit the elders of Tianhang Mountain. Upon hearing this, Shen Luo's expression immediately turned to surprise and delight.

Firstly, he wanted to go down the mountain to see his elders, and secondly, if he went down the mountain today, he wouldn't have to face his third senior sister's stern face anymore.

However, Shen Luo quickly suppressed his surprise and became somewhat worried: "I do want to go down the mountain to see my uncle and aunt, but my third senior sister might not agree."

Lu Lin had anticipated Shen Luo's concern, and immediately patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, I'll talk to her on your behalf. Senior Sister will definitely agree."

Shen Luo looked incredulous: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Lu Lin said confidently, and started walking towards the mansion on the mountaintop. Shen Luo saw Lu Lin's actions and quickly followed, a little curious about how her third senior sister would respond to Lu Lin.

As far as he knew, his third senior sister had disliked Lu Lin for a long time.

The two did not reach the mountaintop residence. Instead, they saw their third senior sister practicing her morning exercises halfway up the mountain. She held a red-tasseled spear in her hand, and in the morning light, the spear moved like a dragon, its tip turning into afterimages as it streaked through the air.

The moment Lu Lin and Shen Luo approached, Third Senior Sister sensed their presence. She slowly stopped what she was doing, slung her red-tasseled spear behind her back, and frowned slightly as she asked, "Why aren't you two having breakfast at this hour? What are you doing here?"

Her attitude was alright when she saw Shen Luo, but it changed drastically when she saw Lu Lin; even the veins on the back of her hand holding the red-tasseled spear bulged.

This puzzled Lu Lin greatly. He had never offended his third senior sister, so why was she so hostile towards him?

Lu Lin coughed lightly and explained, "Third Senior Sister, I plan to go down the mountain with Shen Luo to Tianhang Mountain Village to take a look, go home, and see our elders in the village. Please give me your permission, Third Senior Sister."

Hearing Lu Lin's words, the third senior sister remained calm and turned to look at Shen Luo: "What about you? Are you planning to go down the mountain today? Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

Shen Luo scratched his head and said, "This is my fault. There was no such plan yesterday; I only came up with it on a whim today."

The third senior sister frowned slightly.

However, she couldn't possibly forbid going down the mountain to Tianhang Mountain Village, since Tianhang Mountain Village was Lu Lin and Shen Luo's hometown.

"You can go. But you need to think it through. When you come back, the training intensity will be doubled, and you'll have to make up for that day. Fifth Brother, you understand what I mean," Third Senior Sister said to Shen Luo.

Upon hearing his third senior sister's agreement, Shen Luo's face immediately lit up with excitement. He had finally found a chance to go down the mountain and slack off.

These past few days, besides cooking and eating, he's been constantly being nagged by his third senior sister for various reasons. His tense mind has already started to work beyond its capacity. Now that he has this opportunity to go down the mountain, he can finally catch his breath.

"Then, Senior Sister, we'll be going now," Lu Lin said with a smile.

"Wait a minute." The third senior sister suddenly spoke up after hearing Lu Lin's words.

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment.

Then the third senior sister continued, "Luo Luo, you go first. I need to talk to your sixth junior brother alone."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin's expression immediately changed.

Shen Luo felt a surge of schadenfreude in his heart, but he dared not show it on his face. After his third senior sister finished speaking, he quickly turned around and ran away along the mountain path.

Only after he had walked away did he dare to show a relieved expression on his face.

But Lu Lin, who remained where he was, didn't look so good, and his feelings weren't pleasant either. Looking at the dashing figure with the red-tasseled spear slung over his back, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

As expected, after Shen Luo walked away, the third senior sister's red-tasseled spear rushed towards him. The druid's natural senses made Lu Lin almost instinctively dodge to the side. The spear tip immediately grazed past his ear and finally stuck into the tree trunk not far behind Lu Lin.

The tree trunk was not cracked, but a small hole appeared on it, which shows what level the Third Senior Sister's control over spiritual power had reached.

Lu Lin's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Although he was scared, he understood that his third senior sister did not mean to harm him.

"Your reaction speed isn't slow. It seems your fourth senior sister's demands on you aren't as lax as I imagined." The third senior sister raised her hand and gripped the red-tasseled spear again.

Lu Lin coughed lightly: "Thanks to Fourth Senior Sister's dedicated teaching, my practical combat skills have improved significantly."

Third Senior Sister glanced at Lu Lin: "Bullshit! Your reaction speed is entirely due to your powerful spiritual energy, and has nothing to do with your actual combat ability and experience."

The theoretical foundation of gun-wielding is this kind of knowledge. Lu Lin's mention of "combat ability" in front of his third senior sister was undoubtedly a direct challenge.

Hearing his third senior sister say this, Lu Lin naturally wouldn't refute it.

"I know you have your own little schemes, but I'm warning you, don't try anything funny or scheming here at Tianhang Mountain. Put away your cleverness, or your fourth senior sister might not want to punish you, but I certainly will!" The third senior sister snorted and warned Lu Lin.

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment.

"Secret thoughts? How come I didn't know I had secret thoughts?" Lu Lin was completely baffled. He subconsciously wanted to refute and defend himself, but when he met his third senior sister's stern gaze, he felt inexplicably guilty, just like a student seeing a teacher. In the end, he didn't refute and nodded in agreement to his third senior sister's criticism.

"Yes, Senior Sister."

Seeing Lu Lin's good attitude, the third senior sister put away the red-tasseled spear in her hand, gave a light snort, and continued to remind him, "Approximately how long will it take to go down the mountain this time?"

Lu Lin replied, "We can make a round trip on the same day, Senior Sister, don't worry, it won't take too long."

Third Senior Sister nodded slightly: "Yes, be careful after you go down the mountain. Although there shouldn't be any cultivators around Tianhang Mountain who can threaten you, it's always better to be safe than sorry."

"Don't worry, senior sister."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin realized that his third senior sister was actually all bark and no bite.

Seeing that his third senior sister was no longer speaking, Lu Lin took the opportunity to excuse himself, saying, "Senior sister, junior brother takes his leave."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Shortly after Lu Lin left, Shi Jiayi slowly emerged from behind a large tree and approached her third senior sister. Her tone carried a hint of reproach: "Senior sister, you acted too decisively just now. What if he hadn't dodged? Wouldn't something terrible have happened?"

Upon hearing this, the third senior sister looked at Shi Jiayi and teased, "You've only known the sixth brother for a short time, how come you're already siding with outsiders and pushing away my senior sister who's been with you for years?"

Shi Jia was taken aback and realized the accusatory tone in her voice. She hurriedly explained, "Senior Sister, you misunderstood. I was just worried that Lu Lin, who is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, might not be able to dodge your attack. I wasn't blaming you."

Seeing Shi Jiayi's expression, the third senior sister shook her head and smiled, saying, "It was just a joke, no need to panic."

Actually, Lao Liu isn't bad, but sometimes he doesn't consider the consequences of his actions. When you're with him in the future, be sure to maintain a proper distance and don't let him take advantage of you.

Shijia nodded: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I understand."
