CHAPTER 184: 183. LIN KEWU IN THE SKY (2/4)

It would have been better if there were no worries.

Now he is even wandering alone on the street.

Murong Xi wanted to chase after him, but considering that the person who entered the city was of the Middle Profound Realm, following him would be of no help.

He was merely in the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer Realm, barely an ant compared to someone in the Profound Realm. Crushing him would be effortless for a Profound Realm expert. Not to mention, the Middle Profound Realm.

Watching Wen Ping leave, he could only silently wish in his heart: Wen Family boy, good luck to you!

At this moment, as Wen Ping walked to the end of the lonely street, a voice came from the system in his ear.

"Host, attraction successful—at an altitude of a thousand meters, a genius with 3-star Talent is hovering there."

"It’s here!"

Wen Ping was immediately overjoyed and quickly looked up at the sky.

Indeed, a thousand meters above Yunlan Mountain, there were two black shadows hovering there, both were Great Demons of the Winged Race.

...

Soaring straight up to a thousand meters high, a man and a woman stood behind the Great Demon.

The man was a young man in his twenties, roughly about 25. With sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, red lips, and white teeth, his appearance was proper, apart from these standard features, he had a pair of two-colored eyes.

His left eye was white, his right eye was black.

Standing in front of him, behind a two-zhang long bald eagle, was a woman of similar age.

Her delicate eyebrows and apricot-like eyes, her skin like beautifully carved jade, although not a face that could topple nations, she was extremely graceful. The kind that, in a crowd, everyone could pinpoint with one glance.

The man looked at the woman, tenderness in his eyes.

That tenderness, as gentle as water, cascaded towards the other person, but in return, he received no tenderness.

Only a cold stare.

The girl said indifferently, "Lin Kewu, don’t you understand yet?"

Lin Kewu shook his head, reaching out his hand as if trying to hold the girl’s hand, but a zhang-wide gap separated the two Winged Demons. Lin Kewu’s hand merely extended out as he said, "Wanyan, but I love you."

"Love?"

The girl named Wanyan laughed.

Of course, she didn’t think Lin Kewu was lying. She could deeply feel his love for her in his eyes. However, love couldn’t be food, and more so, she didn’t love Lin Kewu.

Perhaps Lin Kewu had brought her happiness once, but that was only in the past.

Not now.

And it was merely the relationship between friends.

Lin Kewu, still unwilling to give up, continued, "Wanyan, don’t go, okay? Come back with me, I can give you everything I have."

Wanyan immediately responded coldly, "Can you give me the spot as a chief student of the Three-star Academy at Xuanse Lake?"

"I..."

Lin Kewu was speechless.

Seeing this, Wanyan spoke coolly, "Since you can’t give it to me, what is this talk of giving me everything? Lin Kewu, water flows down, people ascend. I, Wanyan, left you and left Bright Mirror Lake for a very simple reason, it’s because I gained the disciple spot at the Three-star Academy of Xuanse Lake."

If previously, the two were in the same world, from now on, they would never be in the same world again.

Once she entered the Three-star Academy, she would become stronger and stronger. She might even achieve the Profound Realm before she was 25.

In the future, Bright Mirror Lake could very well be led by her.

As for Lin Kewu, he was merely the son of a concubine among thirteen, in a pseudo-three-star family.

His Talent was not high!

His status might seem high to outsiders, but in front of the academy students, it was nothing!

Compared to her, there was simply no future together.

Lin Kewu, still persistent, continued to say, "This is a good thing, I can go with you. The journey to Xuanse Lake is ten thousand miles, I could take care of you along the way."

"Kewu, don’t you understand? You and I are no longer people from the same world."

"You’re here, and I’m here, how are we not from the same world?"

Hearing this sentence, Wanyan felt a bit helpless, unsure if Lin Kewu was truly foolish or pretending to be.

But after considering that they were once friends, she thought it best to change her tone to address this matter.

So she said, "Kewu, you need to understand, I, Wanyan, don’t like weaklings, and you’re too weak right now. If you can reach the Profound Realm before 25, come find me then, and I will accept you."

Lin Kewu immediately brightened and asked, "Really?"

Wanyan responded, "Really."

After saying this, she bid farewell to Lin Kewu, stood on the bald eagle, and flew towards the distance, disappearing into the sky not long after. Watching Wanyan disappear into the distance, Lin Kewu still held a tender smile.

Then, Lin Kewu quietly muttered to himself, "She finally agreed to accept me!"

Three years!

For these three years, he kept professing his love.

Continuously giving her his best.

What he sought was Wanyan’s recognition, wasn’t it?

Now, it can be considered half achieved!

But after laughter and satisfaction, the problems before him gradually erased his smile. Wanyan was a strong one, having reached Body Refining Thirteenth Layer Realm at 23. If she joined the Three-star Academy, she would likely step into the Divine Profound Realm in the future!

Because of her strength, Wanyan admired the strong.

But the condition she set, reaching the Profound Realm by 25, was no less than climbing to the heavens?

For centuries, Bright Mirror Lake had only produced one such unparalleled genius. He’s 24 now, and even with abundant resource investment, he has only reached Body Refining Twelfth Layer.

How could he complete this requirement in a year?

At this moment, Wen Ping rode the cloud eagle formed by Qin Shan closer to Lin Kewu and said, "Young man, do you want to defy the odds?"

"Who!"

Lin Kewu looked around warily.

After surveying, he saw Wen Ping approaching him, but he didn’t want to pay much attention.

Since gaining Wanyan’s promise, his ten-thousand-mile chase was not in vain. Now, it was time to return.

As Lin Kewu was about to turn, Wen Ping continued, "Youngster, reaching the Profound Realm from Body Refining Twelfth Layer in a year is actually quite simple... Join the Immortal Sect, and you will witness miracles."

Lin Kewu cast a glance at the younger Wen Ping, surprised as he asked, "You can discern my realm?"

In the same or first realm, detecting his strength was normal. But having someone much younger accurately point out his power was astonishing.

Seeing Lin Kewu’s interest piqued, Wen Ping continued, "In a year, reaching the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer is possible with resources, but opening the Meridian Gate is nearly impossible. Join the Immortal Sect; it is your future."

"The Immortal Sect can help me?"

Hearing this, Lin Kewu smiled, and his thought of leaving dissipated greatly.

A young one who could discern his realm at a glance!

This was worth exploring.

Yet, he, being in the Body Refining Twelfth Layer, could not discern the other’s realm.

This made it all the more intriguing to seek answers.

With this expectation, Lin Kewu quickly asked, "Friend, how many stars is this Immortal Sect?"
