Chapter 61
Xu Lin did not see Chu Fengyi at dinner. Chu Qingchan said that she returned to the hotel, had some snacks, and planned to go to bed again. She didnt say where she felt uncomfortable, and Chu Qingchan was very worried, planning to find a doctor, but Chu Fengyi didnt let her make the call.
This night, you just stay with her at the hotel. We wont go out either. Ill practice my lines again, so I wont embarrass myself tomorrow.
You go to bed early. Tomorrow at 8 oclock, theyll send a car to pick us up.
Okay, you rest early too. If Chu Fengyi really isnt feeling well, remember to call me.
Yeah. But she beats you every day, and you still care about her so much?
Because shes my master, and shes also your sister.
Xu Lin patted her shoulder and walked towards the elevator, while Chu Qingchan stayed still for two seconds.
He said, Because shes her sister, what does that mean? We havent even gotten together yet, but hes always taking advantage of me. ~
Xu Lin didnt mean to say that just now; he just said it casually.
Back in the room, he reviewed his lines and scenes again, then felt more and more tired.
He lay directly on the bed, feeling the softness of the large bed, although there was no girl beside him to hug as a pillow.
After a few seconds, he fell into a deep sleep, and at some point, a strange scene appeared before his eyes.
Xu Lin, I want you to go to Jinling to participate in the martial arts contest for marriage. Only when you become Wei Changs son-in-law can we continue with the next step of our plan.
Yes, master! Your disciple will do his best.
But remember, its fine to become a son-in-law, but dont let that girl enchant your soul. Once you have concerns, your sword and blood wont be as sharp!
Xu Lin stood on the surface of the water and saw two men in ancient costumes inside the pavilion. One of them shared his name and bore a striking resemblance, with long hair. The other was an old man with an air of immortality. Their conversation revealed their relationship.
He wanted to get closer for a better look, but the next moment, the lake water beneath him turned murky, swallowing everything and turning into darkness. After a few seconds, a dazzling light shimmered, and he squinted his eyes. As the light slowly faded, a new scene appeared.
The young man, almost identical to him, was sitting in an inn, drinking. It was bustling with many people. He looked around and wondered if he was dreaming, but it felt too real. He reached out and touched the nearby pillar, but his hand passed through it. Was he in a spiritual state?
He pinched himself and felt a very real pain. Sensing pain, what was going on? Was it the system messing with him? Today, the system did indeed show glitches, and then he turned into a skilled marksman He didnt dare to move recklessly; he just stood there steadily, continuing to stare at the young man named Xu Lin.
Soon after, just like in many martial arts films, a lot of people suddenly arrived at the inn, chasing after a boy in tattered clothes.
However, Xu Lin felt that the boy looked familiar, and then, just as the boy was about to be caught, Xu Lin slammed the table, and a silver-white sword sprang out.
Standing up, he walked towards the crowd. There was no flashy fighting like in the movies, just simple slaughter.
Just parrying, slashing, stabbing, a few movements, and several people fell into a pool of blood, then the frost-faced Xu Lin dragged the boy away.
Amidst the screams and clamour, they left the inn directly, plunged into the crowd, his perspective elevated, becoming a birds-eye view, and then the scene disappeared again.
A few seconds later, as if cutting to another scene, he appeared again on a street, the boy clinging to Xu Lin, although Xu Lin was cold, but he seemed very happy.
And then everything sped up; the boy and Xu Lin spent a long time together, from dawn to dusk, from verdant to snow-covered mountains and wilderness, from the city to the countryside.
Because of a rescue, the boy inadvertently bonded with Xu Lin and began to adventure and live together. The boy cooked for him, did laundry, took care of his daily life, and Xu Lin began to teach him martial arts.
Xu Lin also gradually softened from his cold, menacing demeanour, becoming somewhat gentle and tender.
But during an event, Xu Lin discovered that the boy was actually a girl, so he made the girl leave.
The girl was unwilling, so he had to knock her out and entrust her to a trusted person to take care of her, then he left alone to continue southward, with only one task now.
It was to go to Jinling, participate in the martial arts and marriage-seeking event held by Lord Wei Chang, the lord of Jinling City, and then successfully become a son-in-law of the Wei family, furthering the masters great cause.
Then the scene changed again. Arriving in Jinling, Xu Lin disguised himself as a nobody and quickly gained the title of Baijian Xu Lin in the vicinity of Jinling.
But while waiting for the martial arts and marriage-seeking event, a familiar person appeared again, but she was no longer the impoverished little boy but a beautiful young lady.
At this moment, Xu Lins breathing became rapid because the appearance of this young lady was simply the Chinese version of Chu Fengyi.
He seemed to have some vague thoughts that these scenes were not dreams or fantasies, but
Before he could finish his thoughts, the young lady and Xu Lin got into an argument, with the young lady pouring out her feelings and explaining why she was once hunted down.
She talked about how she fell in love with him, but the man remained cold and silent, not saying a word.
Until finally, before leaving, the young lady left a hairpin in his palm, tearfully, but with a serious tone.
Since you dont want me then if youre going to participate in the martial arts and marriage-seeking event, dont embarrass me! I dont want to lose, Xu Lin!
Then she left the room, and Xu Lin watched her back and kept watching until she completely disappeared around the corner, still watching, clutching his palm tightly.
Everything changed again, accelerating. Xu Lin fought through all the obstacles and finally reached the final stage, but the competition suddenly changed from one-on-one to archery.
It suddenly disrupted the preparations of the remaining ten young men, but since the city lord said so, they could only grit their teeth and proceed.
Xu Lin was the last one to step onto the stage. Although the previous results were decent, he had a slight injury to his eyes, which made it difficult for him.
But with a burst of excitement, a girl wearing a festive red robe came out and sat next to the city lord. The people below instantly understood that she was the main character of this martial arts matchmaking event.
Everyone admired her beauty, but only Xu Lin had a face full of pain and sadness. Why her? Why her out of all people?!
Xu Lin stood on the side, but at this moment, he seemed to hear the other partys thoughts and felt the sadness in his heart. He couldnt betray his master, so he had to continue, but by continuing, he would completely destroy the originally pure feelings and make even more terrifying decisions in the future.
But with the girls shout on the platform, Dont lose! his bow and arrow not only didnt become dull, but became sharper. With a tight string, a swoosh, right on target, followed by a stunning display of hitting the bullseye ten times in a row!
Then, in another turn, he wore a red wedding gown, looking at the figure in front of him covered with a veil, feeling nervous yet happy.
First bow to heaven and earth! came a voice beside him as they both slowly bowed down.
Second bow to the parents!
He and she turned around, bowing to the parents in front of them. Bow to the parents!
Turning again, he took a deep breath, as if seeing her smiling face through the veil.
Entering the bridal chamber!
But with this announcement, Xu Lin suddenly jolted awake, realising he had merged with Xu Lin at some point. He quickly raised his head to find himself surrounded by endless whiteness.
Anxious, he muttered, Damn it, cant I finish the bridal chamber scene first? The play should be complete. But before he could finish, he felt a sudden pressure in his chest and nose, waking him up abruptly. His blanket was kicked under the bed.
He stared at the beautiful ceiling, breathing heavily, and checked the clockit was already past 5 in the morning. What? Whats going on? System, it must be you messing around, right? Come out! Say something!
