Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 91 – The first date with my senior sister

"That won't do. We must buy a gift for Master. People drift apart when they don't cherish each other, and hearts grow cold when they're not sincere!"

"A disciple must always treasure the days with their Master. As the saying goes, a disciple with a Master is like a treasure, without a Master, they're like a blade of grass."

"Unless I am reduced to dust and bones, I will ensure Master lives a life free of worries!"

Every word from Lin Jichen was filled with genuine emotion, heartfelt and sincere.

These words, laden with sentiment, made Leng Feiyan's heartstrings gently tremble.

Like a breeze brushing against willow trees by the river, like a white carp leaping out of the water, like a Buddhist chant paired with a simple zither.

[Ding! Leng Feiyan's affection level towards you +5! Current affection level: 50 points (Heartfelt Connection)]

Leng Feiyan didn't refuse any further and accepted the precious box.

Curious, she opened the box and found an exquisitely crafted bracelet inside.

This was the most expensive bracelet Lin Jichen had picked out from the jewelry store, costing him over eight thousand spirit stones.

Named "Purple Feather Fragrance," it was a treasure, and most importantly, it was very beautiful. He guessed Leng Feiyan would definitely like it.

Sure enough, seeing the bracelet, Leng Feiyan's brows softened into a smile. She took the bracelet out and was about to put it on.

"Master, how about I help you put it on?" Lin Jichen asked tentatively.

He thought, with an affection level of 50, he should be able to get a bit closer...

Leng Feiyan's expression was a bit unusual. After hesitating for a moment, she still agreed.

"Then you can help me put it on..."

Her voice grew weaker towards the end.

Lin Jichen, having received permission, approached with a grin.

As he got closer, Leng Feiyan, sitting in the Sect Master's seat, looked increasingly uneasy, her gaze starting to wander.

Lin Jichen took the bracelet from Leng Feiyan's hand, unclasped it, and then grasped her jade-like hand.

Her hand was as soft and smooth as satin, cool and tender, like a baby's skin, so delicate that Lin Jichen couldn't bear to let go once he held it.

At the moment of contact, Leng Feiyan's body visibly stiffened, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

This was the first time in her life that a man had touched her hand.

And so boldly... completely holding her hand...

She could feel the warmth from Lin Jichen's palm, like a blazing flame, making her snow-white skin start to heat up.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jichen let go of her left hand and grabbed her right hand.

Leng Feiyan couldn't help but feign slight anger, "Disciple, what are you doing?"

Lin Jichen replied seriously, "I was just thinking how lucky this bracelet must be to be worn on Master's beautiful jade hand. This Purple Feather Fragrance must have accumulated great fortune in its past life, perhaps even saved the world, otherwise, how could it be so lucky?"

Leng Feiyan's face turned slightly red at his words. This mischievous disciple, truly a smooth talker! So naughty!

"Stop joking, just put it on my right hand." Leng Feiyan said, raising her right hand.

Lin Jichen, without hesitation, held her hand again and slowly and carefully put the bracelet on, reluctantly letting go afterward.

"It looks really good, Master. This bracelet suits you perfectly. It truly matches the old saying, 'Even the lotus cannot compare to the beauty of a woman, the fragrance of pearls in the water palace.'"

Leng Feiyan blushed at the compliment, feeling shy and awkward.

Especially seeing Lin Jichen's intense gaze so close, it felt penetrating.

Her heart raced like a startled deer, leaving her at a loss.

"Alright... alright, stop talking nonsense. You... you... you can go back now. I'm a bit tired and want to rest."

"Alright, I wish Master sweet dreams." Lin Jichen didn't push his luck, humming a tune as he left gracefully.

Leng Feiyan was left sitting in the chair, slightly panting, her face flushed, her heart pounding.

"This mischievous disciple... getting more and more unruly..."

Leng Feiyan murmured to herself, her eyes filled with autumnal melancholy.

But her expression showed no trace of anger; instead, her face was full of shyness, delight, and sweetness...

Lin Jichen walked out of the Sword Palace and headed straight down the mountain.

Nangong Yue seemed to know he was coming and was already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

"Junior brother, I just saw a heavenly tribulation behind the Sword Palace. Was it your lightning tribulation?"

"Yes." Lin Jichen nodded.

Thinking about it gave him a headache. From now on, he wouldn't have Master's help during tribulations. Sigh~

"Senior sister, I've already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. I haven't forgotten our agreement. Shall we go?"

Lin Jichen spoke softly, nervously glancing back.

"Yes... but we can't leave together. We'll be seen. If my father and grandfather find out, they definitely won't let me go out."

Nangong Yue blushed, her shyness boundless.

"Alright, then we'll go separately. I'll go first and wait for you at the east gate of Fengqu City."

Lin Jichen was eager to separate. Nangong Yue feared her father, and he feared his Master!

"Okay..."

After agreeing, Lin Jichen left the Sword Sect first, and not long after, Nangong Yue secretly followed.

Outside Fengqu City, Lin Jichen didn't wait long before seeing Nangong Yue emerge from the teleportation array.

"Junior brother, where... where are we going..." Nangong Yue's face was still flushed.

This was her first time going on a date with a man, so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

Lin Jichen, still a bit uneasy, asked, "No one followed you, right? No one is watching us, right?"

Nangong Yue thought he was asking about her father and grandfather and shook her head, "No, I was very careful."

"That's good. Then let's go into the city. I know a theater with excellent musicians and superb performances. How about we go there?"

Lin Jichen was quite experienced. In his past life, he was often dragged around by Guo Jie for shopping and dates, so he had plenty of experience.

Of course, he was very experienced at paying the bills.

"You decide." Nangong Yue had no opinion and agreed immediately.

The two walked into the city together.

They strolled leisurely until they reached an elegant old courtyard, which was the theater.

They went upstairs and booked a private room on the second floor, then sat down to listen to the performances below.

Nangong Yue seemed to quickly immerse herself in the opera, seriously appreciating it.

Until she noticed that Lin Jichen's gaze was constantly on her, making her blush deeply.

"Junior brother... why are you looking at me? Aren't you watching the opera?"

Lin Jichen grinned and said, "The opera isn't as beautiful as Senior Sister. You don't have to mind me. You watch your opera, and I'll watch my Senior Sister."

Nangong Yue's face turned crimson, her eyes lowered, her head buried in her chest, not daring to meet Lin Jichen's gaze.

Until the opera ended, and they left together.

Nangong Yue couldn't focus on the latter part of the opera at all. She only realized it was over when Lin Jichen reminded her twice.

Leaving the theater, Nangong Yue thought the date was over. To her surprise, Lin Jichen took her to a bookstore.

"Shopkeeper, has the romance novel I ordered arrived?"

"Yes, yes, it's all ready for the immortal."

"Thank you."

Lin Jichen paid and received several books.

He handed the books to Nangong Yue, smiling, "I specially prepared these for you, Senior Sister. I wonder if you've read them."

Nangong Yue didn't expect Lin Jichen to give her romance novels. She flipped through them and found that she hadn't read any of them.

Nangong Yue's smile blossomed, and she hugged the books to her chest, as happy as a child.
