Happy Reading~
===========
The mont I stepped out of Wei Nan's room, I didn't forget to retract the protective barrier around .
If I must say, I knew it was impossible for not to remove the soundproof barrier I had placed.
After all, the fact that I had no intention of leaving any trace of my presence in Wei Nan's room was undeniable.
Speaking of which, considering the traces left on Wei Nan's bed,
I thought I had erased all evidence of our relationship… Had I? I didn't know…
But it didn't matter. I knew there was no way Wei Nan's parents could discover any traces I left behind.
For so reason, I couldn't help but glance at the building in front of .
I had to admit, the building itself hadn't changed much.
On the contrary, I felt a sense of relief seeing people outside the campus heading to their classes.
Suddenly, my gaze was drawn to a woman with golden hair.
Indeed, that woman was none other than Lin Xue.
If I rembered correctly, it had been a long ti since I last saw her face.
Regardless… Should I say hello to her?
Of course, I had no reason not to greet Lin Xue.
Without hesitation, I began walking towards her.
"Perverted girl, we et again."
"Pervert? Who are you? How dare you—"
As if realizing sothing, Lin Xue's eyes widened in shock.
"You… Hao Chen?! You're back? I thought you no longer cared about the university."
Unfortunately, just as I was about to respond to Lin Xue's question, I noticed the gazes of those around us.
They seed curious about .
"Is that him? I thought he had disappeared from campus. I didn't expect him to return."
"You're right. I heard rumors that the university president's son had gone missing. But who would've thought he'd co back?"
"Amazing. He's quite handso. But why did he disappear? It's so strange!"
Without hesitation, I grabbed Lin Xue's hand.
I knew I couldn't stay in public view while people were heading to their classes.
"Let's go. I want to talk to you in private."
"Alright."
Step… step… step…
After so ti, I finally managed to escape the prying eyes of the crowd.
Perhaps I shouldn't have left the campus area so suddenly.
But so what? I had no desire to expose myself in front of Su Ling'er's parents.
If I had known, would I have had to distance myself from the public eye?
For a mont, I couldn't help but feel Lin Xue's hand on my cheek.
I had to admit, at first, I didn't understand why she was touching my face.
But upon hearing her words, I realized she couldn't believe I was really Hao Chen.
"Are you really Hao Chen? Is this truly you? I can't believe you've grown so strong."
"It's . Do you not believe ? If you need proof, should I remind you of that ti when you—"
Before I could finish my sentence, I saw Lin Xue's cheeks flush red.
"You really are Hao Chen…"
Clearly, she was embarrassed by my words.
Lin Xue had long since buried the mories of when I had touched her.
"Of course. Did you think I was still at the Foundation Establishnt Stage?"
"No. I know you must have surpassed the Foundation Establishnt Stage."
"But Lin Xue, I don't think your progress has been bad either. You actually managed to reach the Foundation Establishnt Stage without my help."
Honestly, I had to admit, Lin Xue's cultivation was entirely self-taught.
If I rembered correctly, I had never given her any of my techniques.
Perhaps this was why she had been progressing so slowly.
"Is that so…? I've struggled a lot with my cultivation. I can't even keep up with Wei Nan's cultivation speed."
"…"
Deep down, I knew Lin Xue was frustrated that Wei Nan had surpassed her.
But so what? The truth was, I was the one who helped Wei Nan with her cultivation.
If not for , would Wei Nan have progressed so quickly?
Of course, it wasn't impossible that Wei Nan would eventually hit a bottleneck.
But now, I knew that her cultivation would continue to advance.
As for Lin Xue, I doubted she could reach the Golden Core Stage.
After all, the cultivation techniques of the Twelve Ancient Clans were diocre.
Because of that alone, I knew the cultivation limit of the Twelve Clans was below the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
If not, then would talented individuals like Lin Xue have hit such bottlenecks?
"I understand. What if you learn my cultivation techniques instead? I think you need to change your approach."
"…"
I had to admit, Lin Xue looked hesitant about accepting my offer.
If she rembered correctly, the Twelve Clans forbade their descendants from learning external cultivation techniques.
"No. I'm not allowed to learn outside techniques. My family forbids its descendants from using any cultivation thods from the outside world. For us, learning external cultivation techniques is the greatest taboo."
"Taboo? Why? Don't you want to beco stronger? What reason do you have for refusing my cultivation technique?"
I asked, curious about why Lin Xue wasn't allowed to practice external techniques.
If she truly wanted to grow, she had to abandon the Twelve Clans' techniques.
But now, I wondered… Would Lin Xue be willing to accept my offer?
"I'm afraid. Not of the family head, but of those who stand behind the Lin family. I don't know why, but I once t my family's ancestor when I was ten years old. And I know… he is a being considered a god."
"A god? Are you saying he has surpassed the Golden Core Stage?"
"Yes. But I believe he's beyond anything you can imagine. He can erase mountains with a single grasp. He can even create small dinsions within this world."
I had to admit, I understood what Lin Xue ant.
It was clear that she was talking about an existence that had transcended mortality.
But so what?
I wasn't sure if beings beyond the Mortal Realm could truly surpass this world's limits.
If I rembered correctly, it was impossible for anyone in the Mortal Realm to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Perhaps that was why I found it hard to believe that Lin Xue's ancestor had truly surpassed the Mortal Realm.
But I guessed that the Lin family's ancestor had rely reached a stage above the Divine Sea.
If that were the case, it wouldn't be impossible for powerful figures like the Twelve Clans' ancestors to create dinsions of their own.
After all, the Immortal Ascension Realm was the final step before breaking into the Immortal Realm.
Without realizing it, I once again turned to look at Lin Xue.
