Lin Bai walked through the courtyard of the Chu Royal Mansion. With Lin Bai’s current cultivation, the dark guards within the mansion couldn’t detect him at all!
Just like that, Lin Bai walked straight ahead and arrived at a garden!
Lin Bai saw a boy of about seven or eight years old in the garden, wielding a wooden sword.
Beside the boy, an old man in hemp clothing watched with a satisfied smile on his face!
The cultivation of this old man in hemp clothing was not low either; he possessed the first level of the Life-and-Death Realm, and Lin Bai recognized him as a highly skilled sword cultivator!
Lin Bai observed from the side for a while and suddenly, the boy’s grip weakened, and the wooden sword slipped from his hand!
Lin Bai raised his hand, and the wooden sword fell into his grasp. He walked over with a smile and said, "Before practicing swordsmanship, it’s best to train your fists first. Otherwise, with an unsteady grip, you can’t even hold your sword!"
"To master the sword, one must first master the fist!"
Holding the wooden sword, Lin Bai walked over and smiled at the boy.
Seeing Lin Bai co over, the old man in hemp clothing imdiately looked solemn. He was shocked as he thought, "When did this person arrive here? I didn’t even notice his presence!"
The boy looked at Lin Bai and curiously asked, "Who are you? Give back my wooden sword!"
Lin Bai smiled slightly, handed the wooden sword back to the boy, and asked, "Do you want to practice swordsmanship?"
The boy replied bitterly, "I don’t want to, but my mother and father want to learn the sword. To make them happy, I practice hard!"
Lin Bai shook his head and asked, "Your father is..."
The boy proudly answered, "My father is Chu Jiangliu, a noble of the Shenwu Kingdom, Emperor Xiao’s foremost general, the undefeated war god who conquered the Southern Corner’s 180 domains!"
"Hahahaha!" Lin Bai laughed loudly upon hearing the boy’s words.
The boy said discontentedly, "What are you laughing at!"
Lin Bai chuckled and said, "I never expected that the person who once dragged around Fengyue Square would beco the undefeated war god of the Southern Corner’s 180 domains! Impressive, truly impressive!"
The boy happily said, "It’s good that you know!"
"By the way, who are you? Are you a servant or a gardener of the Chu Royal Mansion?"
"Why haven’t I seen you before?"
The boy asked innocently.
Lin Bai laughed and said, "Haha, you don’t need to know who I am. Where’s your mother?"
The boy said, "My mother went to prepare so snacks for !"
Lin Bai nodded slightly and looked at the old man in hemp clothing beside him, saying, "Go ask the Fifth Princess to bring two jars of wine!"
"?" The old man in hemp clothing was stunned and stared at Lin Bai in disbelief.
Lin Bai chuckled lightly and said, "Yes!"
The old man in hemp clothing said coldly, "Sir, you don’t seem to be a servant or gardener of the Chu Royal Mansion. In that case, I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, when Prince Chu finds out about this, you might find it hard to escape unscathed!"
Lin Bai stared at the old man in hemp clothing, smiling slightly.
The two imdiately felt a tense atmosphere brewing!
At this mont, a beautiful and dignified woman ca over, carrying ticulously prepared snacks. She called out, "Xuan’er, stop practicing for now and co take a break, have so snacks!"
"Okay, Mother!" The boy joyfully ran over.
At this ti, Lin Bai’s gaze turned to the woman.
The old man in hemp clothing was shocked and imdiately flashed to the woman’s front, spreading the power of the first level of the Life-and-Death Realm, saying, "Be careful, Mistress. This person is of unknown origin and his cultivation is unfathomable. His sudden appearance in the Chu Royal Mansion suggests he might have ill intentions!"
"I’ve just notified the dark guards to co over!"
The old man in hemp clothing guarded the woman and boy, speaking coldly.
"Who is it?" The woman looked up and saw the white-robed man ahead.
In an instant, her face turned pale, and her eyes nearly popped out!
"You, you, you..." The woman stamred in terror.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "It’s been a long ti, Fifth Princess!"
The woman looked at Lin Bai in shock.
At this mont, hundreds of dark guards leaped from all around the Chu Royal Mansion’s rooftops, surrounding and protecting the woman and boy.
Seeing the dark guards arrive, the old man in hemp clothing felt more confident and said coldly, "Sir, I advised you to leave earlier, but you didn’t listen. Now it seems you won’t be able to leave even if you want to!"
"n, seize him!"
"Entering the Chu Royal Mansion without permission is a capital cri!"
The old man in hemp clothing said coldly.
"As you command!" With his order, the surrounding dark guards responded in unison.
However, at that mont, the woman urgently scread, "No, don’t, stop, stop!"
At the sound of the woman’s voice, the dark guards cald down and stopped in their tracks!
"Retreat!"
The woman commanded.
"Yes!" After the dark guards responded, they turned and disappeared into the courtyard!
"Mistress!" The old man in hemp clothing looked at the woman!
The woman, holding the boy, took two steps forward!
The old man in hemp clothing quickly said, "Mistress, don’t go over; this person’s cultivation is unfathomable. Even if I make a move, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be his match!"
The woman still showed signs of fear on her face and said, "Elder Li, don’t worry, he won’t harm us!"
As the old man in hemp clothing listened, realizing the woman knew this man, his expression beca even more peculiar!
The woman, slightly evasive, walked in front of Lin Bai and awkwardly smiled!
Lin Bai smiled wryly and said, "Fifth Princess, you seem quite afraid of ?"
"I still rember our first eting when I represented the Spirit Sword Sect to participate in Shenwu Kingdom’s Year-end Tail Sacrifice. Back then, you were an immature princess, but now you’re a mother!"
This woman was Chu Jiangliu’s wife, and also Bai Xiaoxiao’s younger sister, the Fifth Princess of Shenwu Kingdom.
Lin Bai had t her on a few occasions!
The first eting was at Shenwu Kingdom’s Year-end Tail Sacrifice, where she, relying on her imperial status, provoked the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, only to be dealt with by Lin Bai!
The second eting was during the fall of Shenwu Kingdom when Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao rescued her and the severely injured Chu Jiangliu from a secret passage!
"You... still rember those events... hehehehe..." The Fifth Princess held the boy and foolishly smiled at Lin Bai!
Lin Bai laughed and said, "Let your son continue practicing the sword!"
"Earlier, I asked that old man to fetch so wine, but he didn’t go. Since you’re here, why don’t you fetch so wine!"
Lin Bai sat in a small pavilion, smiling as he spoke.
"Alright, alright! Xuan’er, practice the sword well!" The woman put down the boy and ran off to fetch wine for Lin Bai as if escaping!
Seeing the Fifth Princess’s deanor, Lin Bai’s face turned bitter as he said, "Did I leave too many shadows from the past? Why is she so afraid of ?"
"Xuan’er, continue practicing the sword!"
Lin Bai said, looking at the boy!
