Hey Guys! GOOD NEWS FOR MARTIAL ARTS FICTION LOVERS! I took pains to exert myself to have translated a bulk of ahead chapters (even when I was ill)! It's available for you now! You can find them under the banner titled Sponsor, there are 9 types of packages for you to choose.
Thanks for your support all along! And please continue to support my ahead chapters as well. I shall further polish my translating and provide better content for you. :P
PS: Given the frustrating and time-consuming process of updating the ahead chapters in accordance with the respective portions of each package (I got nine packages, each updating process shall take me half an hour), I can't get around to updating them on a daily basis but a five-day basis (which is also the time span of the external disciples package). Please note that.
Li Taixuan, at that moment, appeared more like a committed follower than a patriarch.
On seeing his prim yet hectic reaction, Lin Xiao hastened to bring him back to his senses.
"Martial master, you know you are our patriarch, the most distinguished gentleman in our sect. Can't you act your title?"
He had made gaffes like this for times without number, so Lin Xiao couldn't help but point it out for his sake.
Beyond Lin Xiao's expectation, he, conversely, simply smiled it off.
"I don't need to act like that in front of you. You're my martial uncle, so I don't bother to stay tough."
His take-it-for-granted attitude made Lin Xiao lost for words.
Lin Xiao shook his head and left the Inscription Hall. For his part, he couldn't help it — Li Taixuan was already hopeless.
In that case, he'd better off keeping a distance.
Li Taixuan and the three chief seniors hastened to tag along as Lin Xiao went off; the latter waved his hand, signaling a declination.
"See you, martial uncle!"
"Safe trip back, martial uncle!"
Though they acted on Lin Xiao's instruction, they only grew increasingly respectful.
Bowing to their junior martial uncle, they didn't lift their heads until Lin Xiao disappeared.
"Esteemed patriarch, does the stone case made by the junior martial uncle really work?"
The tertiary chief senior rose and sounded out Li Taixuan's intention.
The primary and secondary chief seniors also longed for Li's verdict.
Their doubt had nothing to do with their faith in Lin Xiao; it was simply because they were too familiar with the previous one.
It especially applied to the tertiary chief senior, so he gathered enough courage to ask Li Taixuan.
He used to be the head of the Inscription Hall. He once convened a group of disciples to establish a research team, in the hope to reproduce the stone case.
Their efforts, nevertheless, ended up in vain after years of trial and error.
In that case, he knew how tough to make a duplicate, let alone a perfectly identical one.
He had every reason to hold the brand-new stone case to doubt.
On hearing his question, Li Taixuan soon shifted his respectful attitude towards Lin Xiao to an imposing sense of authority.
He pulled a long face and scolded the tertiary chief senior.
"The tertiary chief senior, whatever you say, I shan't blame you. But, I. can, by no means, withstand your doubt about our esteemed junior martial uncle. How come you are yet to be persuaded by his first-rate competence?"
"The junior martial uncle did make a perfect duplicate of the stone case! That is…That is…"
The tertiary chief senior struck dumb by Li Taixuan's unswerving confirmation, felt embarrassed about having humiliated himself.
"Of course!"
Li Taixuan responded in an impatient voice.
Though he managed to recollect himself after getting irritated by the tertiary chief senior, he still felt indignant about the latter's offense to Lin Xiao.
In the meantime, the tertiary chief senior simply giggled like a kid.
"Esteemed patriarch, any idea how the junior martial uncle managed that? He seemed to have a knack of everything!"
The secondary chief senior gasped, with his voice suffused with admiration to Lin Xiao.
"Our junior martial uncle is so competent! I even feel as if I were in a dream! That's simply spectacular!"
The primary chief senior, being the most poised, echoed as well.
Lin Xiao had been continuously surprising them ever since his enrolment. He was literally like a dream for every Taixuan warrior; they feared they would have to wake up.
Fortunately, it wasn't.
"The esteemed martial uncle is our amulet! Chief seniors, please do protect him from any harm."
Li Taixuan went on in a sincere tone.
"Anyone who dares to hurt him would end up skinned by me!"
The tertiary chief senior, an all-time fireball, rushed to respond.
"Esteemed Patriarch, I can assure you, the Wen Biyun incident won't happen again!"
The secondary chief senior echoed.
The primary chief senior didn't commit himself to it and raised a question instead.
"Will our protection hinder him from making further improvements?"
His inquiry silenced them across the board.
