Lin Yi

Lin Feier glanced at Jiang Yun and then turned to Lin Xiang'er, saying, "What could be such a big deal? How many times have I told you to be more composed? If Father sees you like this, he will punish you."

Lin Xiang'er playfully stuck out her tongue, but immediately put on a serious face and said, "Miss, I heard people say that Jiang Gongzi personally killed the second young master of the Xiao family. Now the Xiao family has contacted the city gate guards to thoroughly investigate people entering and leaving the city. Miss, Jiang Gongzi has always been unable to cultivate, so how could he kill Xiao Kuan, who is at the Qi Martial Stage Level 2?"

Lin Xiang'er furrowed her brow as she tried to comprehend how Jiang Yun, who couldn't cultivate, could personally kill Xiao Kuan at the Qi Martial Stage Level 2. Lin Feier also wanted to know, but upon seeing Li Tao's faint smile, she cursed herself for being foolish. Jiang Yun had a mentor who was at least at the Earth Martial Stage, so killing Xiao Kuan wasn't surprising.

Lin Xiang'er had a simple mind and couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it and ignored Li Tao's presence. She leaned closer to Lin Feier and said, "Miss, do you think Jiang Gongzi found out that Xiao Kuan was bothering you, so he took action? Maybe you told Xiao Kuan that Jiang Gongzi is your fiancé, and Xiao Kuan went to find Jiang Gongzi's trouble, so Jiang Gongzi fought back."

"Stop talking nonsense. That's enough. Look at how sweaty you are from running. Go rest in the carriage," Lin Feier said. At first, when she heard Lin Xiang'er say that Jiang Yun killed someone for her, she blushed a bit. But then she realized that her engagement with Jiang Yun had been canceled for two years, so she understood the absurdity of such a possibility and felt a little disappointed.

Jiang Yun also suddenly realized after hearing Lin Xiang'er's words. He understood why Xiao Kuan had always wanted to exterminate him. It turned out to be because of this enchanting beauty before him. However, it made sense. Lin Feier was indeed extraordinarily beautiful, and a man would do anything for her.

Lin Feier glanced at Jiang Yun, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "Senior, when we enter the city, I will arrange your identity for you."

"Mmm, alright," Jiang Yun withdrew his gaze filled with tenderness and replaced it with a serious expression.

Disguised by the magical "face mask," Jiang Yun followed the Lin family's group into the city without any surprises or dangers. During this time, he was only a few meters away from Xiao Wanshui, but Xiao Wanshui couldn't recognize him.

The Lin family soon arrived at the Lin residence. As for Jiang Yun's identity, Lin Xiang'er came over to ask for his opinion. She mentioned that Lin Feier's younger brother, Lin Yi, had a martial arts instructor who had returned to the hometown, and Jiang Yun could conveniently fill the role.

Lin Yi had a high opinion of himself and had never held the Lin family's martial arts instructor in high regard. It was unlikely that he would bother Jiang Yun too much, and it would fit Jiang Yun's cover without requiring much effort.

However, these were all Lin Feier's considerations, which Lin Xiang'er didn't know. Seeing that Jiang Yun appeared to be in his early twenties, she didn't quite believe that he could be proficient in many martial arts techniques. Lin Xiang'er questioned, "Weren't you robbed by bandits? How can you teach Young Master martial arts?"

Jiang Yun, of course, wouldn't argue with a young maid. He simply smiled and said, "If we're talking about something else, perhaps I wouldn't be able to teach your young master. But when it comes to martial arts, teaching a child is more than enough for me."

Initially, Lin Xiang'er wanted to accuse Jiang Yun of bragging, but when she saw his wicked and alluring smile, her face immediately turned red. She thought to herself, "Why does this person smile so mischievously? But it looks good."

Seeing Lin Xiang'er blush and lower her head, Jiang Yun sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected his current appearance to have such a powerful effect. He started to regret not considering everything thoroughly when changing his appearance.

Fortunately, Lin Feier timely appeared, breaking the awkwardness between the two. Since Lin Xiang'er was present, Lin Feier couldn't directly address Jiang Yun as "Senior," but she still showed respect. "Brother Li Tao, since you are now Lin Yi's martial arts instructor, I would like to take you to meet him and give him some guidance. It's to prevent him from being ignorant and arrogant all the time."

Jiang Yun glanced at Lin Feier with a meaningful smile and said, "Alright then, let's go and take a look. It's better to avoid arousing suspicions about the authenticity of my role as a master."

Jiang Yun's words made both Lin Feier and Lin Xiang'er feel embarrassed. Lin Feier thought to herself, "I've been too clever for my own good; he saw through it with just one look."

In fact, Lin Feier had arranged for Jiang Yun to be Lin Yi's martial arts instructor with some ulterior motives. She had some doubts about what Jiang Yun had claimed, and if he truly was a martial arts expert, she could observe and discern it while he guided Lin Yi in martial arts.

If Jiang Yun was a fraud, she could expose him on the spot. If he was genuine, she wouldn't have much to lose, and she could also allow Lin Yi to learn a thing or two from Jiang Yun. So, regardless of the truth, it would be advantageous for Lin Feier. It seemed like killing two birds with one stone.

However, now that Jiang Yun had seen through her plan, Lin Feier worried that it might displease him. That would make her efforts backfire.

Lin Xiang'er, on the other hand, misunderstood Jiang Yun's words as a challenge to her doubts about his abilities. With Miss Lin present, she felt a surge of courage, stuck her tongue out at Jiang Yun, and made a funny face. But as soon as Jiang Yun looked her way, she quickly hid behind Lin Feier.

Lin Yi, Lin Feier's younger brother, was fifteen years old but already almost as tall as Jiang Yun, appearing nothing like a typical teenager. The sibling bond between Lin Yi and Lin Feier seemed strong. As soon as Lin Yi spotted his sister, he dropped the broadsword in his hand and jogged a couple of steps to her side, saying, "Sister, when did you come back? What about the ghost-head blade you promised to buy for me?"

Seeing that Lin Feier was empty-handed and accompanied by a stranger, Lin Yi became immediately unhappy. At this moment, his youthful temperament surfaced, but it seemed odd to Jiang Yun considering Lin Yi's physique.

Lin Yi scrutinized Jiang Yun cautiously and then turned to ask Lin Feier, "Who is this person, sister? Why did you come to see me with him?"

Jiang Yun chuckled softly. After all, Lin Yi was just a child and was now showing signs of jealousy. Lin Feier saw that Jiang Yun wasn't angry and then proceeded to reprimand her younger brother, saying, "Lin Yi, show some respect. This elder brother's name is Li Tao, and he will be your martial arts instructor from now on. You shouldn't be so rash in your attitude."

Upon hearing that Jiang Yun had no special relationship with Lin Feier, Lin Yi relaxed a bit. But when he saw Jiang Yun's young age and the absence of any hint of spiritual energy around him, he couldn't help but disdainfully say, "Look at him, he looks like he'll collapse with a gust of wind. I wonder if he even knows any martial arts. Is he really going to teach me?"

Although Jiang Yun appeared to have a well-proportioned physique, compared to Lin Yi's strong build, it wasn't entirely unjustified for him to make that comment.

"Snicker."

Lin Xiang'er found Lin Yi's remark amusing and couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, when she saw Lin Feier glaring at her, she quickly covered her mouth, but her trembling facial muscles couldn't be concealed.

Lin Feier first glared at Lin Xiang'er, then turned her stern face back to Lin Yi and said, "Lin Yi, I've told you before, don't be so self-righteous. You should know that there's always someone better out there. Since you're so fond of blade techniques, why don't you demonstrate them for me? Let Li Tao give you some pointers, so you don't go around thinking you're all that."

Lin Yi's rudeness and Lin Xiang'er's skeptical attitude didn't bother Jiang Yun. In his eyes, the martial arts in this world differed greatly from the martial arts on Earth, and he didn't pay much attention to teaching martial arts to a fifteen-year-old child.

Although Lin Yi didn't think Jiang Yun was qualified to instruct him in martial arts, he didn't dare to disobey Lin Feier's command. With a defiant look at Jiang Yun, he walked to the courtyard and picked up the broadsword he had dropped earlier, preparing to demonstrate his most powerful blade technique.
