Chapter 91: 091, [Dumb Apprentice] (Asking for monthly votes and recommendation tickets on Monday!)

Translator: 549690339

Lin Chan had a strange illness since she was a child, she was born on the summer solstice, but her body was icy cold, radiating immense chilliness.

She nearly didn't survive the winter during her tenth year.

That winter, heavy snow was falling in Qingling City, Lin Chan was bedridden and almost lost consciousness.

Upon hearing the words of a fortune teller in the city, her grandfather went out into the heavy snow and harsh wind. He walked backward around the house, calling out Lin Chan's name loudly with each step he took, 7000 steps and 7000 calls, continuously for seven days.

The fortune teller said, this was a “Soul Calling” process, as long as Lin Chan heard his calls, she wouldn't depart from this world.

The elderly man in his sixties walked in the snow for seven days.

Walking backvvard is never easy and the snow-covered problem worsened the situation. The elderly man stumbled quite a few times, leaving frostbites in several spots. When he finished his 7000 steps, his beard was frosted and his voice had hoarse.

Lin Chan learnt about all of this from the neighbors later on.

A few months ago, when her grandpa was delirious, Lin Chan imitated him, walking backward outside the house.

But she was a mute. She couldn't speak. Taking each step she opened her mouth wide, calling her grandpa's name desperately in her heart.

Although she was a timid and frightened skinny little girl, she showed extraordinary perseverance and stubbornness.

She didn't just perform the ritual for seven days, she continued it every day, hoping to awaken her grandpa.

But maybe her grandpa's soul didn't hear her.

A useless mute.

Lu Xun glanced at Lin Chan, noticing her face buried in her bowl, so he added some vegetables to her bowl.

It wasn't until Lin Chan secretly dried her tears with her little hand did he ask, “Little Lin Chan, can you write?”

Carrying a bowl in her hand, Lin Chan lifted her head slightly and gave a small nod.

There was a teacher who lived next to her house for a while. He had taught her to read and write when she was young. She could recognize all the basic characters.

“If you can write, that's good. If you have something to say to Master in the future, just write it down. Write it on paper if you have a pen and paper, or write it on Master's palm if you don't.” After he said this, he extended his left hand and opened his palm.

Lin Chan lowered her head to look at his palm, then turned to look at the gentle face of Lu Xun. After hesitating for a moment, she extended her little hand to his bigger one and started to write on his palm.

She wrote the term        “Master”.

Having accepted the master-disciple relationship, it was appropriate to call him “Master”. Being a mute who could not speak, she resorted to writing on Lu Xun's palm.

It tickled when her little hand ran across his palm.

Lu Xun had to feel attentively to get the idea of what Lin Chan had just written, since his reaction was not that fast.

By the time he realized that she had written “Master”, he felt an inexplicable happiness.

“Ei!” he responded cheerfully.

Normally, a master should be a bit more generous when they just acquired a new disciple.

But now, Lu Xun didn't have much treasure to give. He let Ji Li and Murong Yan take Lin Chan out to buy some new simple and comfortable clothes.

When they returned, Lu Xun was surprised to find that all three women were wearing new clothes.

A typical woman's move, quite understandable.

Lin Chan, despite her small size, looked like a young lady of refined taste in her new clothes. However, her look was still not good due to her poor health, and she needed further caring.

When she officially starts to cultivate, she should feel better. By that time, she will be filled with spirit, and her complexion will certainly get better.

Feeling a little shy in her new clothes in front of her handsome master, Lin Chan was a bit embarrassed.

Moreover, she was used to living a hard life, so suddenly wearing such nice clothes made her worry about getting them dirty.

Although the Demon Sect paid her a good amount every month, because she was sickly and hence medical treatment was expensive, her family still lived very frugally.

Before officially beginning her cultivation, Lu Xun asked Murong Yan to check Lin Chan's aptitude for cultivation.

The fat woman and the skinny girl stood together, forming a stark contrast.

Murong Yan's chubby hand lightly touched Lin Chan's eyebrows, and nine semi-transparent ripples spread out into the air!

This represented Enlightenment 9!

“Enlightenment 9! Swordsmanship Aptitude 10!” Lu Xun secretly marvelled.

“No wonder she's the protagonist, she is so enviable!”

Ji Li, who was the type that preferred beauty over brains, didn't give it much thought. Murong Yan, however, had her doubts before: why did the Young

Elder absolutely wanted Lin Chan to be his disciple the moment he saw her? Was it out of pity?

Now, everything made sense. The Young Elder had discerning eyes and likely saw the potential early on. He found a promising talent for the Demon Sect!

The Young Elder was worthy of being the Young Elder!

At this moment, she was not aware that Lin Chan was a Natural Sword Embryo. If she knew this, her chubby face would certainly have a wonderful expression.

When it comes to cultivation, Lu Xun immediately remembered the book that his second sister-in-law gifted him. The book contained the Qi Consumption Technique, with her personal annotations, written all over the pages.

Previously, he had lent this book to Ji Li to learn and study from, she had now memorized it by heart, and he had gotten it back. It could be reused now to gift the mute girl as a present from her master.

Well, reusing resources, it was just like him.

When the mute girl received the book, although she had her head lowered, her tense face seemed very serious.

This book was her ticket to the cultivation world and it was the first gift that her handsome master had given to her. It held too much significance and she had to be serious.

“I wonder if I can cure my condition once I start cultivating.” Lin Chan thought to herself.

Teaching the Sword Cultivating Technique to the mute girl was premature, after all, she hasn't even started her official cultivation. Lu Xun could wait to teach her when they return to the Hidden Mountain.

Lu Xun was eager to experience the legendary Natural Sword Embryo for himself. So, he let Ji Li teach Lin Chan a set of worldly swordsmanship. Astonishingly, Lin Chan picked it up instantly, just like spending Experience Points to learn as a game player.

Even the sword sheath seemed to like her very much. It appeared that her inherent affinity towards sword-like objects was maximised.

“So this is what a Natural Sword Embryo, a legendary genius, looks like.” A certain hacking scamp sighed with amazement in his heart.

Lu Xun was already looking forward to the moment his disciple ascended to the Hidden Mountain!

“If I can't get any sword, my disciple can definitely get one!” Lu Xun felt that Lin Chan could make up for his regret.

As for himself, he should just stay on his “Human is the Sword” path and live a peaceful life as a Non-swordbearer.

Compared to the true “Sword Embryo”, he was a handsome “False Sword Embryo” who was on the “Human is the Sword” path. Let's just call him a “Glamorous Sword Good”.
