Chapter 194: Lin Sichen

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Lin Sichen

"Lin Siheng~" Lu Yuan’s voice came over again.

"Lu Yuan!" Lin Siheng bounced up from the ground. He turned his head and saw that it was indeed Lu Yuan! Siyao was also there. And he immediately saw the food box in Lu Yuan’s hand.

"Ah~~ why are you guys here?" he ran over happily.

"I’m off work today, so we came to see you. And we caught you bragging," Lu Yuan chuckled.

"I wasn’t bragging! Who’s bragging?" Lin Siheng retorted, quickly taking the food box. Opening it, his eyes instantly lit up. He dug right in with his hands.

"Number one in the Daqian Dynasty, huh," Lu Yuan teased.

"Not right now, but definitely in the future. Besides, they were the ones who said it," Lin Siheng defended himself.

"I heard your sister can’t beat you and has even been beaten up by you," Lin Siyao crossed her arms.

"You heard wrong, I never said that." Lin Siheng stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Share some of the food with your two little sidekicks. You have to learn to share," Lu Yuan advised him.

"They don’t eat food from outsiders," Lin Siheng explained. He himself didn’t eat just anything either, to avoid being poisoned.

GULP.

The two young boys swallowed their saliva, but nodded firmly. They were taught at home not to eat food from outside. They didn’t lack food at home anyway.

Lu Yuan felt a pang of emotion. He had been taught the same way when he was a kid, especially since Lu Ming was a Chief Constable. In this world, underhanded methods were impossible to guard against, and many things couldn’t be traced.

"How does the boss practice his Martial Arts? Do you know?" the ten-year-old boy looked at Lu Yuan and asked curiously.

"I beat it into him," Lu Yuan chuckled.

"Ah?" The two boys opened their mouths wide in shock.

"Lu Yuan! Don’t talk nonsense!" Lin Siheng quickly glared at him, winking at Lu Yuan to give him some face.

"Training hard! Training hard!" Lu Yuan quickly corrected himself. "Plus using his brain more."

The two boys were a bit disappointed. They wanted to find a shortcut, a way to rapidly improve their Martial Arts.

"Of course, having suitable Martial Arts is also very important," Lu Yuan added. Suitable Martial Arts could be said to be crucially important. If the Martial Arts weren’t suitable, no matter how much effort one put in, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate it successfully.

"What is your Cultivation? Also Ninth Grade?" the eleven-year-old boy asked.

"Probably Eighth Grade," the ten-year-old boy guessed. After all, he was the boss’s family.

"Looking at his age, he isn’t very old. Probably Ninth Grade. If he’s Eighth Grade, he’d be a genius," the eleven-year-old boy disagreed.

"The boss is a genius, so isn’t it normal for Lu Yuan to be a genius too?" the ten-year-old boy analyzed.

"That’s true." The eleven-year-old boy nodded and looked at Lu Yuan. "What Grade are you exactly?"

"Lu Yuan is Seventh Grade, he broke through last month," Lin Siheng answered.

"What? Seventh Grade!" the two boys exclaimed, finding it unbelievable.

"Impossible!" The ten-year-old boy shook his head. "How old is he? Is he even eighteen?"

"Yeah, the Martial Dao gets harder and harder. My dad said that anyone who can break through to Seventh Grade before twenty is already a genius," the eleven-year-old boy answered.

"Right, my dad said that too!" the ten-year-old boy nodded.

"Would I lie to you?" Lin Siheng curled his lips. "Lu Yuan is not only a Seventh Grade, he also holds the rank of Squad in the Demon Suppression Bureau."

Lu Yuan felt awkward. He didn’t want to show off in front of a few kids.

"Hurry up and eat. When you’re done, Siyao and I are heading back," he said.

"Mhm, it’ll be quick." Lin Siheng vigorously stuffed food into his mouth.

"A Squad of the Demon Suppression Bureau!" The ten-year-old boy was shocked. A Demon Suppression Bureau Squad was even more formidable than an ordinary Seventh Grade.

"Then how old are you exactly this year?" the ten-year-old asked.

"Yeah, how old are you? Are you twenty yet?" the eleven-year-old boy chimed in. They really wanted to know.

"Why are you little brats asking so many questions?" Lu Yuan reached out and tapped each of them on the head.

The two instantly fell silent. It wasn’t until Lu Yuan left, carrying the food box, that they spoke again.

"Is Lu Yuan really a Seventh Grade? How old is he exactly? How is he so formidable?" the ten-year-old boy quickly asked Lin Siheng.

"Yeah, a Demon Suppression Bureau Squad, is it real or fake?" the eleven-year-old boy asked anxiously.

"Your boss never lies!" Lin Siheng stood up, speaking proudly. "No one in my family is simple!"

The two boys were stunned, but couldn’t refute it. Because the person in front of them was a little freak, a five-year-old Ninth Grade...

...

"It’s great to be young," Lu Yuan sighed on the way back.

"Brother Yuan isn’t old either, you’re exactly in your youth," Lin Siyao shook her head with a smile. He was not even sixteen yet. Those who didn’t know would think he was fifty or sixty.

"I’m talking about a youthful mindset. I lost that innocence long ago." Lu Yuan took a deep breath. Having lived two lifetimes, he didn’t really have a youth in this one.

Lin Siyao somewhat understood. She knew Brother Yuan had been unusually mature since childhood.

"Young and ignorant, it’s better to be older."

"Mhm." Lu Yuan nodded. Being older had its perks, being younger had its perks.

Lu Yuan stored the food box into his storage ring, then took the young girl’s hand. "Let’s run home together!"

"Okay! Let’s run home together!" Lin Siyao gladly agreed.

Thus, the two ran hand in hand.

HAHAHAHA...

HAHAHAHA...

With joyous laughter all the way, the young boy and girl were unconstrained and carefree on the main road. Soon, they arrived at the Lin family’s home.

CREAK.

Pushing open the door, the two stepped inside together. Then they abruptly froze... because there was an extra person in the courtyard.

Her white clothes were whiter than snow, her black hair cascading like a waterfall... Like a fairy descending from the highest heavens, she was transcendent and aloof, untainted by a single speck of dust. Standing next to Song Yumeng, she made the latter—who was usually a fairy-like figure in the mortal realm herself—immediately fall back into mortality, becoming a mere foil. Only this woman was the center of the world, the center of heaven and earth. A child of destiny, radiant and dazzling...

At the same time, the woman’s gaze also landed on the two of them. Moving slightly downward, her eyes abruptly paused on their joined hands. She immediately furrowed her delicate brows, and her gaze instantly turned three times sharper.

Lu Yuan instantly felt a coercive pressure descend upon him, as if he had been abandoned and targeted by the entire world, rejected by heaven and earth...

[Your luck is not very good. You have encountered the returning Lin Family’s Innate Dao Body, the peerless prodigy Lin Sichen who achieved Third Grade at the age of forty. She has a lot of dissatisfaction and strong objections towards you.]

[Mission Issued: Persist for three breaths under a sliver of Lin Sichen’s coercive pressure. Completion Reward: 10 points of Root Bone, Time of the Prodigy, and 5000 Experience Points.]

Lu Yuan knew it. Lin Sichen, they had finally met again. There were no unexpectedly huge rewards. Root Bone, Time of the Prodigy—they were all very precious. But Lin Sichen’s strength... Fortunately, it wasn’t twenty-five years later; she wasn’t a Third Grade Longevity Realm expert yet. Otherwise...

One breath!

Two breaths!

Three breaths!

...

Five breaths!

"Sichen..." Lin Siyao spoke up, breaking this bizarre atmosphere.

"Who is he?" Lin Sichen demanded.

"He’s Siyao’s fiancé, that Lu Yuan from Uncle Lu’s family next door," Song Yumeng introduced.

"Fiancé?" Lin Sichen’s eyebrows immediately shot up. "What’s going on? Who agreed to this? Why didn’t I know?"

"I want him! Why do I need you to agree?" Lin Siyao took a step sideways, shielding Lu Yuan behind her like a little mother hen protecting her chick.

"Lu Yuan is quite good. Your father and I both agreed," Song Yumeng smiled.

Lin Sichen looked at her mother. She wondered what was going on and why it would be like this.
