Chapter 122: Water Curtain's Useless Boyfriend

  At the same time, the 8th district of Ryūjin-in.

  Courtyards 8 and 9 of Qianlong Institute are different from the previous seven courtyards, which belong to the teaching area. Courtyards 8 and 9 are the martial arts research base of Qianlong Institute, only teachers with senior titles or above in the college have the qualifications to enter.

  In the dead of night, in one of the buildings, a large room was still lit up. From the window, you could see the silhouettes of 6 people inside, all of whom were women.

  One of the ladies, who was lecturing on stage, had a slender figure, with eyebrows and eyes that were like a painting. Her every gesture was full of elegance and refinement, making her unforgettable at first sight. Although it was hard to tell her age, this lady's face showed a hint of maturity, revealing her true age, which was definitely not as young as she appeared.

  "The development of martial arts civilization has reached the present day, with numerous techniques and methods like a vast ocean. Among these martial artists, those who cultivate wood and water system techniques have an average lifespan far higher than others, which is an undisputed fact. The reason for this lies in the fact that wood and water system techniques can stimulate the body's vitality and consolidate its foundation..."

  On the stage, the woman was talking eloquently, and the five girls below were listening with rapt attention, completely forgetting that it was already late at night. Luo Miao and Shui Lian Qing were among them.

  "Alright, that's all for today. Let's call it a day and get some rest. Class dismissed!" The lady smiled as she announced the end of tonight's lesson.

  As soon as he finished speaking, the five girls below stood up and gathered around him. For a while, moving laughter kept coming out, crisp like an oriole.

  Luo Miao took the lead in approaching her, holding onto that lady's arm and saying: "Director Lin Dan, every time you get to the exciting part, you stop. How are we supposed to sleep after going back?"

  This lady, whose identity is actually one of the four great instructors of Imperial Wind Academy, and also the only female instructor among the four, Lin Dan. Looking at this scene, Instructor Lin Dan is having a private gathering with her favorite students, conducting nighttime lessons.

  Such treatment, if spread out, I don't know how many people will envy, jealous and hate.

  Lu Miao was still talking, but Lin Dan smiled and said: "I always end when I'm done, Lu Miao, don't wrong me."

  Upon hearing this, the girls present pouted and refused to give in, their relationship with each other not seeming like teacher and student, but rather more like sisters.

  "Coach Lin Dan, your every word and sentence is a true insight, it's just too brilliant! We can't help but be fascinated!" One of the girls coquettishly exclaimed.

  Among the crowd of women, only Shui Lian Qing stood at the outermost edge, smiling lightly and not saying much. Her nature was originally shy, except for Sun Yan and Feng Ling Xue, her interactions with others were all flat and dull, maintaining a certain distance.

  Even if it was Lin Dan, her mentor and one of the four great mentors of Emperor Feng Academy, who stood before her with a noble status, after all, they had not spent much time together, and Shui Lian Qing mostly just silently listened to his teachings.

  The other four girls surrounded Coach Lin Dan, laughing and chatting, hoping to get a little more attention.

  Master Lin Dan smiled in response, his beautiful eyes turning to Water Curtain Qing, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. "Qing, your 'Water Infusion Heart Technique' has improved again. Good, I was right about you. It won't be long before you can officially cultivate the 'Water Infusion Heart Technique'."

  Upon hearing this, the other four girls in the room changed color and involuntarily revealed a jealous look on their faces.

  "Shuimu Ningxin Jue", a top ten martial art in the Godly Skills Ranking, encompasses corresponding internal skills and combat techniques that complement each other. The most difficult part of this martial art lies in its internal skills, and Lin Dan Shifu has searched for hundreds of years without finding a student who can even glimpse the entrance to "Shuimu Ningxin Jue".

  Shui Lian Qing bowed respectfully and said in a low voice: "There is some understanding, it's all due to Master's teachings."

  "You're being so polite with me?" Lin Dan reached over the crowd, affectionately grasping Shui Mu Qing's small hand. "You're the successor of the Water Purification Heart Technique, you should be calling me Teacher."

  The "teacher" in Lin Dan's mouth is different from the general student's title, and it is already a relationship between master and apprentice.

  The water curtain cleared up for a moment, and then cleverly said: "Yes, teacher."

  At this scene, the other four girls' faces turned green with envy and discontent. This Shui Lian Qing is shy and introverted, not understanding human emotions, how could she be suitable for cultivating the [Water Infusion Heart Technique]? If it were them instead, they would have already gained Master Lin Dan's full attention a long time ago.

  At this time, one of the girls rolled her eyes and smiled lightly: "Director Lin, Water's current identity is different from before. You should advise her not to always mix with that ordinary department's trashy little boy, it will only harm Water herself."

  "Oh?" Lin Dan's expression changed slightly as he looked at Shui Bingqing.

  Upon hearing this, Shui Lian's face changed color and she looked anxious.

  "Oh, ordinary department's kid, Xian Qing, is he your little boyfriend?" Lin Dan asked with a smile.

  Lin Dan's mentor had a smile on his face, but his body exuded an invisible aura of intimidation. This was the demeanor of a tenth-level martial artist, a master of the martial arts, who could exert mental pressure on others with just a few words.

  "I... I..."

  Shui Lian Qing withdrew her hand, like a startled little deer, with both hands behind her back, entwined together. Due to excessive force, both small hands had lost their color. She didn't know how to respond to Lin Dan's inquiry about her relationship with Sun Yan, after all, it hadn't reached that stage, and saying they were close friends was more accurate.

  However, thinking of what Sun Yan had been through since entering the Imperial Wind Academy, Shui Lian Qing's teeth clenched in anger, and she lowered her head, muttering: "Yes, his name is Sun Yan. Ah Yan, he's a good person, and also very formidable."

  "Hmph! Impressive?" A girl next to her immediately snorted in disdain, saying: "If that kid is really so excellent, how could he be assigned to the ordinary department? Moreover, it's said that Sun Yan's academic record is currently at the bottom of the new students in the ordinary department. Can Xiangjun, what's the use of him being nice to you? If you insist on being with him, you'll only harm him."

  Another girl immediately chimed in and said: "That's right. Shuixiue, you have to be more decisive, when it's time to cut off, then cut off!"

  Listening to several girls speaking one after another, they kept slandering Sun Yan. Shui Lian Qing was both angry and annoyed, but didn't know what to say for the better. She could only lower her head, not saying a word, looking so pitiful that it made people feel extremely sympathetic.

  Looking at Shui Lianying's expression, Lin Dan shook his head and saw Luo Miao wanting to speak but hesitating beside him. He immediately said: "Luo Miao, have you seen Lianying's little boyfriend? What do you think?"

  "I met him today." Luo Miao chose her words carefully and said, "That junior's innate talent may not be bad, but our Emperor Wind Academy is a gathering place for geniuses, so it's inevitable that he would pale in comparison. As for the future, if Qingmei sister insists on interacting with him, I'm afraid it will bring him more harm than good."

  Lin Dan nodded slightly, as if recalling something from the past. He let out a soft sigh and walked to the window, opening it.

  In an instant, the strong wind swept in the rainwater, but when these raindrops rushed to the front of Lin Dan's master, they were blocked by an invisible force and slid down one after another, without a single drop falling into the classroom.

  Standing still by the window, Lin Dan said: "Qing, your future path is destined to be different from before. The partner you choose will also be different from before. As for that boy, I don't want to comment, but in the future, whoever can be your partner should at least have the ability to protect you, a man who stands tall and upright, right?"

  Upon hearing this, the other girls present all chimed in, except for Luo Miao, and advised Shui Lian Qing to quickly cut ties with that trashy boy.

  Her face was somewhat dim, she knew that once this sentence came out of Lin Dan's mouth and spread out, Sun Yan would definitely be troubled even more in the future.

  Her lips were pursed tightly, and her face was set with determination as she said, "Thank you, teacher. I believe that Ah Yan is a man of great character, and he will definitely be able to protect me."

  "Ah..." Coach Lin Dan shook her head helplessly, not saying another word. Having experienced many ups and downs in life, she naturally understood the girl's thoughts. The first boy in her life, how could he possibly be easily shaken off?

  However, reality is cruel, and after experiencing heart-wrenching pain, one still has no choice but to face reality.

  At this moment, a clear voice came from afar, piercing through the heavy rain, clearly audible.

  "Those of the Genryuusai, who will fight me?"

  "Who will fight with me?"

  "Who will fight with me..."

  The sound echoed three times in a row, slowly reverberating in the dead of night, making those who heard it feel their blood circulation accelerate involuntarily.

  Many women were shocked by the sudden change, and Luo Miao exclaimed: "Who is this? Is someone causing trouble in Pui Lung Academy at midnight? It seems like they've all been beaten up. Didn't those seed disciples go for special training?"

  In Luo Miao's view, the only ones who have the strength to come to the Elite Three Institutes to provoke are those seed students. Two and a half months ago, those seed students all went out for special training, leaving behind a few people, all of whom were core cadres of the three university student organizations, and would absolutely not do something like coming to the door to provoke a fight.

  "Isn't it our Dong Huang Yuan?"

  "Go and take a look."

  The girls' curiosity was always strong, and several of them couldn't sit still, turning around wanting to go and investigate.

  At this time, Coach Lin Dan smiled and said: "What's the hurry? It's pouring rain. Do you want to get soaked like a drowned rat? Just watch from here."

  As she spoke, she took out a backpack and retrieved a transparent crystal mirror from inside it.

  This crystal mirror is rhombus in shape, with a diameter of about half a foot. It is extremely delicate and crystal clear, with strands of light floating on the surface, appearing and disappearing as if it contains mysterious power.

  "Omnipotent Backpack!"

  "Scarred Armor!"

  Two of the girls let out a cry of surprise, their faces filled with both shock and admiration, their eyes fixed tightly on these two things, revealing an extremely eager expression.

  That backpack, obviously the highest level of spatial layered backpack, has a capacity that far exceeds the ordinary person's imagination. As for the exquisite crystal mirror, the ripples transmitted from its surface make it clear to the women present that this is a battle-scarred armor.

  "Work harder and you will have it in the future."

  Master Lin Dan smiled and raised his hand, the rain outside seemed to be drawn in by an invisible force, floating into the classroom and falling onto the crystal prism.

  Suddenly, the crystal mirror began to change, and a group of water vapor rose up and spread out in front of the crowd. Following that, the water vapor slowly dispersed, and a scene gradually became clear from being blurry.
