Chapter 64: The Root Cause of the Conflict

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhu Yuan fainted, which was normal considering what had happened. Lin Xuan’s punch was quite powerful, and in addition to the explosion of internal explosive energy, his injuries were compounded. Moreover, he had just been easily defeated in front of everyone, his self-esteem was also somewhat unbearable.

Fainting was the best outcome.

The first aid team rushed up to check on him. After two healing spells, his injuries had all healed. Although his wounds were still hurting, it was only the pain left behind by his nerves. It wasn’t a big deal.

“Take good care of him.”

Lin Xuan said to the lackeys that Zhu Yuan had brought with him. He left immediately. Before he left, he glanced at the two sisters. His meaning was clear — he wanted to talk to them.

Lin Xuan was not someone who would waste time, nor was he someone who would fool around. If there was a problem, he would want to immediately solve it. Otherwise, this problem would stick like a thorn, and one day, it would prick him. The most terrifying thing was that it might cause extremely serious consequences.

…

The garden was known as the most beautiful place in this school. However, it was late autumn, and the leaves were withered and yellowed. It was not like in spring or summer. The cold autumn wind rustled, and it blew against the lake. It was rather sad and graceful, the chirping of birds in the distance added a sense of desolation to it.

There was even a teahouse inside. It was a place that many students would come to for meetings. Although it was remote, it did not lose its style. It was quiet and somewhat secretive. It was said that the principal would often come here to drink tea.

“This is not a rumor. Grandpa comes here from time to time to drink tea to reminisce about his old friends. I heard from him that nearly a hundred people went there that year, but he was the only one who came back in the end.”

Lin Zhenyue picked up the tea that the shop had brewed and shared a cup with each of them. The three of them chatted as they drank the tea.

Looking at the two girls opposite him taking small sips of the tea, Lin Xuan looked at the pale green tea in his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

“You shouldn’t drink tea like that, you should…”

......

Lin Zhenxing saw that Lin Xuan was drinking it like water, so she covered her mouth and laughed. Then, she taught Lin Xuan how to properly drink tea.

“So, this is the reason why you’re weak? Spending all your time drinking tea?

“If that’s the case, then let’s cancel the contract as soon as possible. You both have good talents, but your actions will only drag me down.

“What you two want is a guardian who can protect you. I believe that I can do this. Then do you two know what I want in return?

“I want teammates who can improve with me, and not be a burden who spends all their time on things other than cultivation.

“As for the skill information sharing you mentioned, I admit that I didn’t think this through clearly before, but I just thought about it carefully just now. Should I really share the skill information with you two?

“I’m still not sure about that. After all, I still don’t approve of you guys.

“Anyways, that will be all, I’ll be leaving first.”

Lin Xuan put down the empty cup in his hand, shook his head, and left the teahouse. Today’s challenge was a waste of time, and the tea that followed was just the same.

According to Lin Xuan’s original intention, this conversation should not have led in this direction. Instead, it should be a compromise of communication. Both sides would share a portion of their skill information, and then slowly deepen their understanding of each other, eventually becoming teammates with tacit cooperation.

This was what Lin Xuan had envisioned his team to be, but the development of things often exceeded Lin Xuan’s expectations. They could have easily explained everything outside the arena, but the two of them wanted to drag Lin Xuan to this teahouse to chat instead. Although this place was remote… there were still many people around that could eavesdrop. The two of them did not insist on a private room at all. Despicable!

Lin Xuan left in a huff, leaving the two sisters who looked at each other at a loss. Lin Zhenxing immediately burst into tears. She threw herself into Lin Zhenyue’s arms and wailed loudly. She did not know why Lin Xuan would say such things about the two of them. Feeling extremely wronged, Lin Zhenyue also bit her lips and frowned. Her expression was thoughtful and at a loss!

In the past, when there were guests, the two of them would brew tea for them. Naturally, a lot of time had to be spent, but these two things were very exquisite traditions that had to be well kept. This time, the two of them had also come to an agreement, they wanted Lin Xuan to experience the elegant pleasure of brewing tea as well. However, they did not expect Lin Xuan to explode in a fit of fury!

After a long while, Lin Zhenxing’s crying gradually quieted down. It was probably because she was tired from crying. It was also at this time that the door was opened. The two women heard the sound and looked straight over. It was their own grandfather who walked in.

One of them threw herself onto Lin Qingming and continued to wail.

“Alright, stop crying. You’re already an adult, yet you’re still crying. Aren’t you ashamed?”

Lin Qingming coaxed his precious granddaughter as he said to them, “As for me, I was here earlier and saw the whole process. I also heard what Lin Xuan said. Tell me how you feel.”

“I just want him to enjoy life outside cultivation. He’s too strict on us. I-I don’t like him!”

Lin Zhenxing raised her head and cried at her grandfather.

“I don’t think it was either of our faults. However, Lin Xuan has gone too far this time. Even if he doesn’t understand us, he shouldn’t have said such harsh words.”

Lin Zhenyue frowned. After she analyzed what happened, there wasn’t the slightest problem with what they did. After thinking about it, she still felt that Lin Xuan had gone too far.

“It’s still my fault. Back then, I must have doted on you a little too much. I didn’t ask too much of you. It’s my fault.”

Lin Qingming’s expression was dejected. He felt regret and guilt. Finally, he took out an information form that he had collected through various channels and handed it to the two sisters, “Perhaps, the two of you are really not suitable with him as a third member. Lin Xuan is a very typical pragmatic commoner. His past life experience taught him to seize every opportunity to improve himself. He doesn’t waste time, and he rarely goes out to have fun. His goal is clear. He is an extremely disciplined person.”

The two sisters looked at the form. After he awakened, Lin Xuan cultivated until extremely late every day. He did not waste his time going home and bumming around at all. He lived directly in the ability user guild, and the information verification person was the Vice President of Dongning Ability User Guild.

The data on the form described Lin Xuan’s hard work in detail. Only now did they realize that Lin Xuan being angry was reasonable. Perhaps he felt that his time had been wasted?!

“But won’t it be boring living that life?” Lin Zhenxing was a little speechless. Wasn’t he tired of cultivating so much?

“That’s the difference between you and him. You two have a life outside of this. Besides cultivating, you two want to experience the beauty in life. Two different paths in life have created two different thoughts. It’s much more difficult for your team to get used to each other than I thought.”

Lin Qingming could not help but sigh!
