Chapter 52 - Insufficient Strength to be a Sword Saint, Insufficient Brains to be a Lord of Life and Death

"Big brother, are you very strong?"

Jiang Yinyin blinked her pure and clear eyes, looking curiously at Lin Xuan. For some reason, she felt a special fondness in her heart when she saw Lin Xuan.

If Jiang Yinyin were a powerful cultivator now, she would understand that the special fondness, the sense of closeness, was the mutual appreciation between fellow cultivators.

Beside them, Jiang Lei, Jiang Xue, and the others from Eagle Martial Hall also turned to look at Lin Xuan, the legendary Sword Saint!

It must be said that at first glance, Jiang Lei, Jiang Xue, and the others were already captivated by his calm face. His demeanor, like that of an immortal banished to the mortal world, left a deep impression.

Perhaps those who had met him might not remember his appearance, but they would definitely remember that demeanor!

That demeanor was just like his name. That was him. Sword Saint was just a title. Even with a different title, Lin Xuan would still be Lin Xuan, just like changing a face. A banished immortal would still be a banished immortal!

Looking at those incredibly clean pupils, Lin Xuan felt as if he were gazing at the pure sky, without any impurities, that existed between heaven and earth.

It was said that the Azure Sky governed life, and the Netherworld governed death, and that the human world between heaven and earth was the cycle of life and death.

In just an instant, Lin Xuan felt that his understanding of the Way of Death had gained a few more profound insights!

Looking again at those eyes that no longer held any special or unusual appearance, Lin Xuan's face also showed a rare gentle smile.

"Lin Xuan's current strength is not worth mentioning!"

Lin Xuan spoke very seriously and sincerely, but hearing this in the ears of Lin Dong and the others made their gazes towards Lin Xuan become strange.

The number one person in the Great Yan Dynasty, the one who held the title of Sword Saint, said that his strength was not worth mentioning. Then, should they just commit suicide?

"Really? Then, big brother, why don't you cultivate with me? Coincidentally, Daddy taught Yinyin how to cultivate some time ago, but Yinyin is a bit slow, and hasn't learned how to cultivate yet."

As Jiang Yinyin spoke, she couldn't help but pout her lips, obviously troubled that she hadn't been able to embark on the path of cultivation.

"Yinyin, it's okay, don't worry!"

Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Yinyin, who was wrinkling her little eyebrows, and comforted her softly, which made Little Marten, who was hiding in the dark, so angry that his nose was crooked.

"Damn it, I'm so angry! The person who can make this monster treat so seriously, this girl is definitely a Reincarnator who hasn't awakened yet. Once she awakens, she'll directly return to the Reincarnation Realm. What's the point of her cultivating!"

Recalling that he still needed to eat those mixed-blood dragons every day to replenish his energy, and often needed to sleep to digest and evolve, before he painstakingly reached the peak of the Death Profound Realm, and then almost lost his life by accident, Little Marten felt a surge of anger in his heart.

If Lin Dong knew what Little Marten was thinking, he would probably burst into curses, but even so, he couldn't help but twitch, and his gaze towards Lin Xuan and Jiang Yinyin became a little strange.

A Nirvana Realm cultivator who could easily kill enemies beyond his level, a person who made the arrogant Little Marten exclaim that he was a monster, said that his strength was not worth mentioning. A hidden top powerhouse of the Reincarnation Realm said that she was very stupid and couldn't get started with cultivation...

This made Lin Dong, who worked hard and struggled, feel that his Dao heart was a little unstable.

"In that case, Lin Xuan is grateful!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, he stood up in the astonished gazes of others and solemnly cupped his fist in salute to Jiang Yinyin. His serious appearance made Jiang Yinyin giggle.

"Big brother, you're so nice. They don't have time to play with Yinyin!"

As Jiang Yinyin spoke, she thought of something again and took the Little Flame in her hand and handed it to Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then reached out to take it.

For powerhouses like the Lord of Life and Death, even if their Reincarnation had not awakened, sometimes, every move they made would carry Dao rhythm, and even contain profound mysteries. Lin Xuan also came with a heart of seeking the Dao, so naturally, he held the etiquette of a student and would not refuse Jiang Yinyin's kindness.

"Do you like raising demon beasts as pets?"

"Yes, yes, I think Little Flame is very cute!"

After Jiang Yinyin pulled Lin Xuan to sit next to her, she leaned in, reached out, and touched Little Flame, who was lying in Lin Xuan's arms, behaving so well it was almost unbelievable, not moving at all. Her face showed a hint of dissatisfaction as she grumbled.

"Big brother, why is Little Flame so well-behaved in your arms? When I held it just now, it was so naughty, always trying to run away. Luckily, I was quick enough to catch it."

Little Flame: Meow meow meow?

Hearing Jiang Yinyin's words, Little Flame, who had no idea about Jiang Yinyin's hidden identity, felt wronged. Being held by this person, even if I were a cat with nine lives in legends, I wouldn't dare to move recklessly. One sword, one life, or even, who knows, one sword might take all nine lives!

Lin Xuan felt a faint stirring in his heart upon hearing Jiang Yinyin's words. He then reached out and placed Little Flame back into Jiang Yinyin's arms.

"It's very obedient."

However, no sooner had Lin Xuan finished speaking than Little Flame, still in Jiang Yinyin's arms, kicked its legs and tried to jump out of Jiang Yinyin's embrace before she could even hold it tight.

"Whoosh!"

A dark black shadow flashed through the air. Just as Little Flame saw Lin Dong nearby and a look of joy at escaping filled its eyes, a hand silently appeared behind it, grabbing it by the scruff of its neck and lifting it into the air.

Looking at the Little Flame, who was as swift as a rabbit, a hint of black and white appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes. Moreover, that touch of black and white was rotating at an extremely slow pace, carrying a sense of reincarnation.

One still, one moving, the line between life and death is not constant. Even, life is not life, life is also death; death is not death, death is also life!

After the colors in Lin Xuan's eyes quickly faded away, he placed the Little Flame he was holding back into Jiang Yinyin's arms and said calmly.

"This is Lin Dong's. I'll give you one next time!"

"Really? Hehe, thank you, big brother!"

Jiang Yinyin took Little Flame without hesitation and began stroking its fur, saying happily.

"This monster has already begun to comprehend the rotation of life and death. Damn, Little Marten is going to be green with envy!"

Little Marten was truly envious, not only of Lin Xuan but also of Little Flame.

It had cultivated for so many years, but it was precisely because it couldn't comprehend the rotation of life and death and couldn't step into the Revolving Wheel Realm that it went out to train and was ambushed.

As for Little Flame, damn, that's a Reincarnation Realm powerhouse, and most likely the kind who has survived the Reincarnation Tribulation. You stupid tiger, you don't know how lucky you are!

So infuriating!
