Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations
After leaving the research center, An Lin and Su Qianyun started strolling about leisurely.
An Lin was in quite a good mood now that Gundam Number One and Gundam Number Two had received new leases on life.
His steps were spry and he hummed a joyous tune as he walked. Even the sunshine seemed warmer and more comforting.
Student An Lin, are you going to leave soon? Su Qianyun remembered An Lin telling her that he would return to the Heavenly Court as soon as he received the power cores.
Hearing this, An Lin nodded. Yeah, schools about to start in a few days. There are some things that I need to prepare before school starts.
Actually, the main reason was that he couldnt bear with Su Xins relentless advances.
Otherwise, why would An Lin be willing to depart the imperial palace so early? The food was amazing and the scenery was stunning. It was a perfect holiday destination.
As they strolled about, they had a chance encounter with a handsome male.
Ah, its An Lin. What a coincidence! Su Xin greeted him with a broad smile.
An Lin grimaced. Why did he choose to greet him before Su Qianyun?
He suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
Ive heard that youre returning to school soon. I didnt really prepare anything, so heres just a small gift for you. Saying this, Su Xin handed An Lin a small wooden box.
Oh my! Su Qianyun covered her mouth and exclaimed, Second Brother actually prepared a gift for Student An Lin! She looked as if she had witnessed something extraordinary.
An Lin felt uneasy about this. However, he couldnt just reject a gift from somebody else with no good reason.
With this in mind, he could only muster his courage and accept this wooden box, expressing his heartfelt gratitude as he did so.
Su Xin patted An Lins shoulders, his eyes full of encouragement.
An Lin:
He had a nagging feeling that this box definitely didnt hold anything good!
If he could, he really didnt want to accept this gift.
After bidding farewell to Su Qianyun and Su Xin, An Lin climbed onto Da Bais back and flew off into the skies.
Gazing at the disappearing Green Wood Imperial Palace as they soared higher and higher, An Lin took the wooden box out from his storage ring.
Looking at this Pandoras box, he fell deep into thought.
Should I throw it away?
This thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
No What if its something important?
In the end, his curiosity defeated his reason.
He slowly opened the wooden box.
What appeared before his eyes was a letter which emitted a faint fragrance.
Love letter?
An Lin slowly spread open the folded letter. The first sentence entered his eyes. Brother-in-law, I trust that youll be very surprised when you see this letter
His hands trembled upon reading this, and he almost threw the letter away.
Su Xin was absolutely spot on. An Lin was indeed very surprised when he found this letter. After reading its contents, he even became horrified!
Brother-in-law?
To hell with that!
As expected
I should throw this wooden box away!
An Lin raised the wooden box. After a moment, he slowly put it back down.
M-hm Let me see what hes got to say before I throw it away.
His reason was once again crushed by his curiosity. He slowly spread open the letter and continued reading on.
Please dont be surprised that I referred to you as brother-in-law. (There was no surprise, just horror.)
After all, youre Yun Les closest male friend. Youre also the person best placed to defeat Change. In the future, there really is a chance that youll become my brother-in-law. (Claiming that Im best placed to defeat Change is even more horrifying than the way you refer to me)
I feel that even though you dont want to pursue Yun Le now, youll definitely have a change of heart in the future. After all, Yun Le is such a perfect girl, dont you think so? (This has nothing to do with whether shes perfect or not! Next should be the main point, right?)
An Lin didnt guess wrong. The next paragraph was indeed the main subject.
When you finally wish to pursue Yun Le, youll be far away in the Heavenly Court. At that time, I, your brother-in-law, will be unable to help you. Thus, I specially penned this letter in the hope that Ill be able to provide you with some help.
Yun Les birthday is on Her favorite animals are Her favorite foods are In the morning, she likes to During midday, she likes to At night she likes to practice her sword techniques. Dont be fooled by the fact that she uses the Moonlight Disc. Shes a girl who dreams of becoming a Sword Immortal. So, you really do have a great chance of success, my brother-in-law There are also some things that she dislikes. For example, noisy and chaotic environments Although she may be a bit inarticulate at times, shes a person who likes to chat and gossip
Your brother-in-law can only help you so much. If it still doesnt work out, then that only proves that you two are not destined to be together. If thats the case, then its not good for me to meddle any further. Lastly, I wish you success!
Reading through this letter silently, An Lin once again fell deep into thought.
He had to admit this brother really did worry immensely, and he went to great lengths for his little sisters love life.
This letter left a deep impression on An Lin, and he was a bit afraid.
He was afraid that he already knew too much
With this in mind, a raging flame erupted from his palm and burnt the wooden box and letter to crisp.
M-hm The evidence had been destroyed.
However, the information was already imprinted in his mind. What could he do?
Ah An Lin shook his head in exasperation as a sullen look appeared on his face.
Sometimes, knowing too much was not a good thing.
A white glow flashed across the teleportation spell formation sitting in The United University of Cultivation, and An Lins body slowly materialized.
Appearing with him was the miniature versions of Xiao Chou and Da Bai.
Looking at the familiar surroundings and feeling the rich vital energy, An Lin couldnt help but suck in a deep breath. A refreshing sensation washed through his body. He had only left the university for less than a month, yet he felt like he had been away for much longer.
Huh? An Lin! Da Bai! A familiar voice suddenly called out at them.
An Lin turned around and saw a dark-skinned male. This male was slightly plump and was currently looking at him cheerfully.
Holy f*ck! Liu Dabao? How did you become so dark?! An Lins eyes bulged in surprise as he looked at the male standing before him.
In his memory, Liu Dabao was pale-skinned and relatively robust in build. How did he become so dark in such a short amount of time?
Ah Its all a painful memory! Liu Dabao pinched between his eyebrows and said with a pained expression, My dad insisted that I train in some Divine Sun Technique or whatever. The introduction of this cultivation technique required me to sunbathe continuously for one entire month.
All I did during the holiday was lie on the beach every day. I laid there like dried meat and flipped my body around every half a day
Hearing this, An Lin couldnt help but laugh.
He felt that Xiao Hong, the photosynthesis expert, would have lots to talk about with Liu Dabao once she awakened.
Then, he saw Liu Dabaos mood suddenly become downcast, as if he was about to cry any second. Im so sorry, he apologized immediately, I couldnt help myself
It wouldve been better if he didnt apologize. Upon hearing his apology, Liu Dabaos face darkened. But then, to begin with, his face was already extremely dark.
Liu Dabao sighed with grief. He then asked An Lin, What about you? What did you get up to during the holiday?
An Lin thought for a moment before answering honestly, I got up to quite a lot. I first traveled to the Mythological Beast Sect. Then, I went to the Abyss of Evil to slaughter sinister devils. Afterward, I went to the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect to visit Xuanyuan Cheng and even came across the High Priestess of the Holy Glacial Lands trying to kidnap a male. Finally, I went on a trip to Green Wood Imperial Palace
Liu Dabao:
An Lin noticed that there was something off about Liu Dabaos expression. He then asked in concern, Huh, whats wrong?
Liu Dabao clasped his heart and shook his head. Im fine, I just feel a little unwell
Just let me have a moment of quiet. Ill be fine. He waved his hand, signaling for An Lin not to worry.
An Lin nodded. Then, a yearning look appeared on his face.
A new year had begun
During this year, he would definitely cultivate earnestly and strive to improve every single day!
