Abbess Dingyi slammed her hand on the table. "I have already sent a message back to Hengshan by carrier pigeon, asking the sect leader for a decision. At the same time, I have also sent disciples to search for that lecherous thief throughout the town. As soon as there is any news, I will risk my life to capture him and prevent him from harming the martial world again!"

"Master, your noble virtue is truly admirable."

Lin Xuan cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Since that's the case, I happen to be staying at this inn for the next few days. If you find out any news about Tian Boguang, please send someone to inform me. I am willing to lend you a hand and work together to wipe out this villain!"

When Master Dingyi heard this, she was overjoyed.

With the help of Lin Xuan, a peerless master, even if Tian Boguang had wings, he would not be able to escape death!

"Excellent! With Young Master Lin's help, that lecherous thief will surely have no chance of escape! On behalf of the victims, this humble nun thanks you, Young Master!"

Throughout their conversation, Yilin sat quietly beside Abbess Dingyi, her head bowed, her hands twisting the hem of her robe, without uttering a word.

Her obedient, docile, and pitiful appearance was like that of a frightened little white rabbit, making people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

Lin Xuan's gaze kept falling on Yi Lin, and looking at her earlobes that were slightly red from nervousness, an interesting idea suddenly came to mind.

"Master."

Lin Xuan suddenly changed the subject, looking at Yi Lin with gentle eyes, "I find Miss Yi Lin to be well-behaved, pure and kind, and we get along very well. I have always regretted not having any brothers or sisters. I am very happy to meet Miss Yi Lin today."

He paused, then suggested sincerely:

"I wonder if the Abbess would allow me to recognize Miss Yilin as my god-sister, so that we can look after each other like brother and sister? What does the Abbess think?"

Upon hearing this, the room immediately fell silent.

Master Dingyi was stunned for a moment, then her face broke out with undisguised ecstasy!

Who is Lin Xuan?

That's a top-tier martial arts master who's at the height of his power in the world today!

He was personally appointed by the imperial court as the Protector-General of the State and the Marquis of Zhenwu!

His high status, great fame, and superb martial arts skills were unmatched by almost anyone in the world.

Such an important figure actually took the initiative to propose taking Yilin as his younger sister!

This is an incredible stroke of luck for the Hengshan Sect!

With Lin Xuan's connection, the Hengshan Sect's status in the martial arts world will surely rise, and who would dare to provoke them so easily?

"This...this is wonderful!"

Abbess Dingyi's voice trembled with excitement, "It's a blessing that Young Master Lin has taken a liking to Yilin! How could this humble nun possibly refuse?"

She quickly turned to look at Yilin, who was still in a daze, and urged, "Yilin, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank Young Master Lin!"

Yilin was completely stunned at that moment.

She never expected that this aloof and arrogant young master Lin would suddenly propose to take her in as his younger sister.

She became a nun at Hengshan Mountain at a young age. Although her master and fellow disciples treated her very well and the sect was harmonious, she was an orphan after all and had never experienced the warmth of family.

At this moment, looking into Lin Xuan's eyes, which were full of warmth and concern, Yi Lin suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable emotion.

Moreover, for some reason, she always had an inexplicable fondness for Lin Xuan.

Perhaps it was because he saved her, or perhaps it was because his strange inner energy left an indelible mark on her body in the secret room last night.

In short, she couldn't bring herself to resist Lin Xuan's suggestion.

"I……"

Yilin raised her head and met Lin Xuan's gaze, two shy blushes rising on her beautiful and refined face.

She bit her red lips, her voice barely audible, yet filled with unwavering determination: "I...I do."

"it is good!"

Lin Xuan laughed, stood up, and walked to Yi Lin.

He looked at the shy and lovely little nun in front of him, his eyes full of doting affection.

"Since you are willing, then from this day forward, we will be brother and sister."

Lin Xuan leaned down slightly and said to Yi Lin, "Good sister, now that you've acknowledged me as your brother, shouldn't you call out to me first?"

Yilin's heart raced and her breathing became rapid at his intimate gesture.

She lowered her head, her hands tightly twisting the hem of her dress, so shy that she almost buried her head in her chest.

After a long while, she finally mustered her courage and softly called out in her clear, gentle voice:

"Brother...Brother..."

That one "brother" was so sweet and charming, it made Lin Xuan's bones melt.

"Oh, dear sister."

Lin Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

He reached out his large hand and gently patted Yilin's head in a very natural and affectionate manner.

"From now on, we are one brother and sister. If you have any problems or suffer any grievances, you can tell your brother. Your brother will definitely stand up for you."

Yilin felt the warm touch from above her head, and a sense of security she had never felt before welled up in her heart.

She nodded obediently, her eyes slightly reddening.

Lin Xuan turned to look at the beaming Master Dingyi and solemnly promised, "Master, if the Hengshan Sect ever encounters any difficulties or problems that it cannot solve, you can tell me. As long as it is within my power, I, Lin Xuan, will do my utmost to help and will never refuse!"

When Master Dingyi heard this resounding promise, she was overjoyed.

With Lin Xuan's words, the Hengshan Sect now has an even more powerful protective shield in the martial arts world!

"Thank you, Young Master Lin!"

Master Dingyi was so excited that she thanked her repeatedly.

After chatting for a while, Master Dingyi noticed that Lin Xuan still wanted to have breakfast, so she tactfully took her leave.

“Young Master Lin, then this humble nun will take Yilin back first. If there is any news of that lecherous thief, this humble nun will send someone to inform you immediately.”

"Please take care, nun."

Lin Xuan escorted the two to the door.

Yilin followed behind Abbess Dingyi. Before leaving, she couldn't help but turn around and steal a glance at Lin Xuan.

Just then, Lin Xuan was also looking at her with a smile.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Yilin's cheeks flushed again, and she quickly lowered her head, like a frightened fawn, and hurriedly followed her master away.

Chapter 292: Deep Sibling Affection

Since recognizing Yilin as his younger sister, Lin Xuan has had an extra source of fun during his two-day stay at the inn.

He took this beautiful and refined young nun out for a walk.

At first, Abbess Dingyi had some concerns. After all, Yilin was a nun, and it seemed inappropriate for her to be seen in public with a young man all day long.

But then she thought, Lin Xuan is now Yi Lin’s rightful “brother” and a famous hero. With him protecting her, who would dare to say a word against it?

Moreover, allowing Yilin to get closer to this important figure would be entirely beneficial to the Hengshan Sect.

So, Abbess Dingyi turned a blind eye and let them do as they pleased.

The sun was shining brightly that morning.

Lin Xuan, along with Yi Lin and Xiao Zhao, strolled along the bustling streets of the town.

Yilin was a shy, introverted person who didn't like to talk.

She wore a loose, grayish-brown nun's robe and a nun's hat, her head bowed, like a frightened young wife, clinging closely to Lin Xuan's side as if afraid of getting lost.

"Yilin, you grew up in Hengshan since you were a child. Besides chanting scriptures and practicing swordsmanship, what do you usually like to do?"

Lin Xuan slowed his pace, turned his head, looked at her fair profile that was almost transparent in the sunlight, and asked gently.

"Reply to...reply to brother."

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's question, Yi Lin immediately stopped, clasped her hands together, and answered respectfully, "Besides doing morning and evening prayers, Yi Lin usually practices swordsmanship with her master and senior sisters. Occasionally... occasionally she goes to the back mountain to pick some wildflowers to offer before the Bodhisattva."

Her voice was clear and soft, with a hint of timidity. She answered whatever Lin Xuan asked without saying a word more than necessary.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her reserved demeanor.

He reached out and naturally took Yilin's slender, snow-white hand in his.

"what……"

Yilin gasped in surprise, her body trembled violently, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand back.

"There are many people on the street, and you're walking with your head down like that. What if you bump into someone? Let your brother hold your hand."

Lin Xuan's reason was perfectly plausible, and he held that soft, boneless hand tightly in his own.

Yilin couldn't break free, so she could only blush and let him lead her.

Her heart was pounding, and her palms were even sweating.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from her master and fellow disciples, she had never had such close contact with anyone.

Lin Xuan's palm was large and warm, and the continuous heat from it gave her a strange sense of security and unease.

Lin Xuan is not only handsome and charming, but also extremely good at caring for people and winning the hearts of girls.

As Lin Xuan passed a jewelry stall, he stopped and picked out a finely crafted white jade hairpin.

"Yilin, what do you think of this hairpin? The jade is warm and smooth, and the carving is exquisite. It matches your elegant temperament very well." Lin Xuan handed the hairpin to Yilin.

Yilin waved her hands repeatedly, her eyes reddening with anxiety: "Brother, you mustn't! Yilin is a nun and cannot wear such worldly ornaments. If Master sees this, he will surely punish me."

"What's wrong with being a nun? Nuns are girls too."

Lin Xuan smiled and placed the hairpin in her hand. "Although you're wearing a hat now, there will always be times when you return to secular life or rest indoors. I know you're a nun who practices with your hair still intact. Keep this hairpin for now, consider it a gift from your brother. If you don't wear it out, how will Master know?"

Yilin held the cold jade hairpin, but a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She looked up at Lin Xuan's doting gaze, bit her red lips, and ultimately did not refuse, carefully putting the hairpin into her bosom.

"Thank you... thank you, brother."

During their subsequent stroll, Lin Xuan would occasionally crack a few harmless jokes to tease the innocent little nun.

"Yilin, you are so beautiful. If you were to return to secular life one day, all the talented young men in the world would probably wear down the threshold of the Hengshan Sect."

"Brother...you...you're making fun of me again..."

Whenever this happened, Yilin would blush deeply, her face turning completely red, even the base of her neck turning pink.

She would silently chant "Amitabha" a few times in her heart, trying to calm her restless heart.

Strangely enough, she felt no aversion to Lin Xuan's teasing and intimate gestures.

On the contrary, under the influence of Lin Xuan's "Yin Yang Supplementing Technique," she even felt a faint sense of anticipation and joy.

Yilin felt that since meeting Lin Xuan, her life had suddenly become more colorful and interesting.

Before, in the Hengshan Sect, life was peaceful, but it was like a stagnant pool. Every day, besides chanting Buddhist scriptures, I practiced swordsmanship, which was boring and monotonous.

But with Lin Xuan, she experienced a completely different life.

Lin Xuan's presence gave her an extremely warm and intimate feeling.

She was an orphan and was adopted by Abbess Dingyi when she was young.

Although everyone in the sect treated her very well, and the relationship between the fellow disciples was harmonious, that kindness stemmed more from camaraderie among fellow disciples and the care of elders for younger ones.

Lin Xuan's kindness towards her was one-sided and unreserved pampering.

He would hold her hand to keep her from getting lost, buy her beautiful jewelry, and look at her with loving eyes.

This feeling of being cherished and pampered like a treasure was something Yilin had never experienced before in her life.

Back at the inn, Yilin's senior and junior sisters were incredibly envious when they saw her carrying all sorts of snacks (vegetarian) and odds and ends that Lin Xuan had bought for her.

"Junior Sister Yilin, you are so lucky! You actually recognized Young Master Lin as your brother."

A round-faced senior sister leaned over and teased, "Young Master Lin is quite a big shot in the martial arts world. Even our sect leader respects him greatly. With such a powerful backer, let's see who dares to bully you!"

"Yes, yes, not only is Young Master Lin highly skilled in martial arts, but he's also handsome and treats you so well. Yilin, you've really made the right choice in having a brother like him!"

Another junior sister chimed in.
