Chapter 146: Leaving Enchantment Hall
Whether it was Lu Xuan or Chen Xiao Han, they both had a tacit understanding to not bring up the incident again.
Time unknowingly flowed by as the pair practiced spirit rune skills. Although it had been a bit dull, with a companion, it didn’t feel boring.
Since finishing practicing the Thunder Fire Rune, Lu Xuan didn’t begin learning a new rune. A powerful rune wasn’t something that could be successfully learned in a short time. Moreover, the power of the Thunder Fire Rune was already very strong. He even specifically went to a training room to try it out. Using it with his current strength, the power of a Thunder Fire Rune was approximately equal to a normal body refining seventh level martial artist’s full power attack. Even if it was a peak body refining seventh level martial artist wouldn’t be able to easily block it.
And under his persistent practicing, his progress was extremely clear. Right now if he made his move, he basically didn’t have a chance of failing. Moreover, the activation time became shorter and shorter. In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan was able to create tens of runes. Drawing a Thunder Fire Rune already only required three rests of time.
However, even like this, if he wanted to use it in combat, it still wasn’t enough. Three rests of time amidst ever-changing combat was still too long. At the very least the time needed to be shortened to one rest before it could have any value.
Thus, Lu Xuan also used spirit rune scrolls to draw quite a few Thunder Fire Rune scrolls to carry on him just in case there was a time it might be needed, he would have a life-saving measure.
Lu Xuan’s attention turned towards the spirit rune scroll in front of him. Countless runes fell down like rain droplets. Almost instantly, a Thunder Fire Rune’s outline formed. Then there was a flash. Finished!
Placing this scroll into his storage ring, Lu Xuan let out a long breath. This was already the fiftieth Thunder Fire Rune that he had drawn. Going over his stuff, he probably could use it for a period of time, after all, he still relied on the sword in his hand for main combat. Spirit runes were only a final measure.
(TN: Whatever happened to having to contribute some back to the Enchantment Hall? Smh, Lu Xuan just taking resources. I guess he taught CXH a bit.)
Turning his head, Lu Xuan’s vision landed on Chen Xiao Han’s body. Chen Xiao Han was originally looking at Lu Xuan with great interest, but unexpectedly Lu Xuan had turned his head. Their eyes met and held firm.
Lu Xuan couldn’t help smile: “Now it’s you sneaking peeks at me.”
Chen Xiao Han blushed. When the two first met, it had been in the Enchantment Hall’s assessment. That time Lu Xuan had been looking at her and wound up being glared at by her.
“So what if I look at you. I don’t even normally look at people…” Chen Xiao Han pouted and pretended to not care.
Lu Xuan lightly laughed. Then the smile on his face slowly faded. Staring at Chen Xiao Han a while, he then yelled: “Xiao Han.”
(TN: Yep. Yelled/shouted. In a quiet room. When there’s only the two of them.)
“What, are you thirsty or hungry or what?” Chen Xiao Han vexedly asked. Recently Lu Xuan always liked to order her to do things.
But unexpectedly, Lu Xuan only shook his head and said: “None of those. I… am leaving.”
When the words came out, Chen Xiao Han immediately felt her heart tremble. Originally her mood had been pretty good but in only a moment it had dropped to the bottom.
Previously, Lu Xuan had told her that the most important goal for his coming had only been to improve his spirit power strength and to search for a breakthrough opportunity for the sake of the fight in three months.
He had accidentally earned Hallmaster Chen Mo’s favor and was taken in as an honorary disciple and had even been given a rune dao inheritance, becoming a one star spirit runemaster, however, although spirit runemasters were also powerful, its attractiveness to Lu Xuan was still less than his sword dao. Also, he also knew that the reason Hallmaster had put him in his eyes was reliant on the Ancient Enchantment Technique. If it was only on talent, his personal talent in the rune dao was far from his sword dao. After all, at the start, the sword crystal had helped him clear all of his body’s meridians. His cultivation path had become much more relaxed.
After another few days, it would be the day of his and Lin Tian’s fight. He prepared to properly cultivate for a few days before it and raise his state to its best to meet this fight. And now, he was prepared to go back.
Although she had long expected for this day to come, Chen Xiao Han still had trouble accepting it. In these two months, she had almost always been together with Lu Xuan. Her good feelings towards Lu Xuan had risen in a straight line, and had completely laid aside a girl’s natural-born reservedness. Her heart was already firmly hung onto his body.
Thinking about Lu Xuan leaving, she thought about the coming days without Lu Xuan, Chen Xiao Han couldn’t help but feel her nose turn sour.
“You can’t just stay for another two days?” Chen Xiao Han whispered. She lowered her head and played with the corner of her clothes.
Although he knew how Chen Xiao Han felt, Lu Xuan still sighed in his heart and still said: “This fight’s opponent is the sword faction’s number one person. He is likely the most powerful opponent I’ve faced until now. I need to go back and properly prepare to fight.”
“Then you’ll come back in the future, right?” Chen Xiao Han’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.
“I probably will, however, it probably won’t be like this time of continuous practicing.” Lu Xuan spoke honestly.
“Can’t you say something nice?” Chen Xiao Han said angrily and vexed. She really didn’t know why she liked him. He didn’t even know how to speak some words to comfort a girl’s heart.
Lu Xuan could only awkwardly smile. He had spoken truthfully.
There was another period of silence. Just as Lu Xuan was preparing to bid farewell, Chen Xiao Han once again spoke: “Actually… did you know? That time, I was pretending to sleep, so…”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan’s heart did a flip. So it was indeed like that. During this period he also constantly thought of that time, faintly guessing it, but he hadn’t thought that Chen Xiao Han would tell him herself.
“That time, I just wanted to tease you. I really didn’t mean to offend, although… in the end there was still an offense. If it makes you happier, you can hit me or curse me.”
Chen Xiao Han couldn’t help but stomp her feet. She angrily stared at Lu Xuan: “Why would I hit you or curse you. I did it on purpose. I wanted you to like me. Who knew that you had someone else on your heart. You didn’t tell me before.”
Lu Xuan said inwardly, You didn’t ask me either, why would I randomly tell you. Just as he was going to explain, but unexpectedly, Chen Xiao Han continued to say: “However, I’m not going to give up. I don’t believe that I can’t compare to that sword faction beauty.”
Chen Xiao Han had spoken these words so clearly that Lu Xuan didn’t know what to say for a while. Speaking truthfully, having been together with Chen Xiao Han for so long during this period of time, and also knowing her feelings for him, and they had even had more intimate contact. If it were to be said that Lu Xuan didn’t have any feelings for Chen Xiao Han, that would be an absolute lie.
However, right now there was Lin Xin Yi who was waiting for him in the sword faction. At the core disciple side, there was also Xia Chen Xi. Lu Xuan really didn’t dare to let his heart be moved. Xia Chen Xi was alright, after all, although the two had a hazy feelings, but their contact hadn’t been too deep.
Looking at Chen Xiao Han before him, Lu Xuan suddenly discovered, it seemed that compared to Xia Chen Xi, his feelings towards Chen Xiao Han seemed to be a bit deeper?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan hurriedly interrupted his train of thought and didn’t dare to continue down those thoughts.
“That, we can talk about it later.” Lu Xuan said ambiguously.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao Han’s eyes lit up and asked: “Talk about it later? That is to say, you also like me too right?”
“I didn’t say that. Also, like is like, love is love. They’re not the same.”
“I don’t care. Me knowing that you like me is enough.” Chen Xiao Han pleased said: “There will be day when you will love me. At that time, once you become a core disciple, you will have to be separated from your sword faction’s beauty. I’ll go there to look for you.”
Chen Xiao Han striking an attitude like this made Lu Xuan feel a bit moved. He was feeling apologetic, however, this matter indeed wasn’t easy to talk about now. He could only talk about it again later.
When he spoke again: “I’m leaving first then. In the future, when there’s time, I’ll frequently come back. You should properly cultivate.”
After saying this, Lu Xuan turned around. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer he would really be snatched by Chen Xiao Han.
However, he had just turned around when he felt a fragrant wind blow by. A pair of small hands tightly hugged him, as if it was afraid to let him go. Chen Xiao Han’s face was lightly placed on his back.
“Lu Xuan, I can’t bear you going. When you go, my cultivating will be meaningless.”
Chen Xiao Han’s single sentence finally defeated Lu Xuan’s defenses. He discovered, just now when he had turned, it had also been a bit reluctant. He determined to give himself one more chance and give Chen Xiao Han a chance. Although it was this way, he felt sorry for Lin Xin Yi.
He took a deep breath and once again turned around: “Xiao Han, before I go, I’ll teach you some things. If in the future, you can walk even higher, if at that time, you still like me, perhaps I will truly love you.”
“Really? Good! I will definitely do it!” Chen Xiao Han’s eyes suddenly lit up, “However, what will you teach me?”
Right at this moment, Lu Xuan had steeled his heart. Chen Xiao Han’s aptitude on the rune dao was even higher than his own. No matter the reason, even if it was to repay Chen Xiao Han for the feelings she had for him, Lu Xuan was determined to pass on the Ancient Enchantment Technique, all of it, to her.
Doing it like this could possibly expose the Ancient Enchantment Technique’s secret, but right now Chen Xiao Han already began to study spirit rune skills. There weren’t necessarily people that would be able to see through that it was the Ancient Enchantment Technique. The two came from the same source, but the difference was very apparent.
(TN: Uhh, I feel like it should be opposite? But that’s what was written)
“I’m going to teach you a few skills, however, you have to promise me that you won’t tell anyone about this matter, and you also can’t use it in public. You can only practice this when you’re alone unless your strength reaches a certain degree, otherwise, it won’t be a good thing for you or me.”
Hearing Lu Xuan speak so seriously, Chen Xiao Han’s face also became cautious and she said: “I promise. I promise I won’t leak it and won’t let anyone know. I won’t even tell my dad, otherwise, I’ll live life alone.”
Lu Xuan subconsciously smiled: “There’s no need for such a heavy oath. However, this is indeed no trifling matter. If you attract attention, the aftermath is hard to imagine.”
“Then will you still tell me?” Chen Xiao Han hesitantly asked.
“As long as I don’t fall out of the sky, my achievements will definitely not stop in just a Wind Sword Sect. If you want to chase me, just an Enchantment Hall will be far from enough.” Lu Xuan’s sentence could be described as full of confidence. The origin of his confidence came first from his talent and second from the mysterious sword crystal.
