Chapter 1398: Chapter 1385: The Incident from Eight Years Ago, the Injured Girl_1 Chapter 1398: Chapter 1385: The Incident from Eight Years Ago, the Injured Girl_1 The monsters within the Secret Realm were also Second-Grade Monsters.
For the Divine Sword, killing a Second-Grade Monster was as easy as turning over its hand.
So, navigating the Secret Realm with Lin Jinxu was quite relaxing, as their only goal was finding the Divine Sword Fragments, and nothing else was concrete.
Most of the time, they'd roam around at leisure, taking out a few reckless monsters and collecting some Monster Cores along the way.
The duo had a pleasant journey for two days, but on the night before the Secret Realm was about to close, something unexpected happened.
While exploring a hidden valley, they encountered a double-headed snake chasing a white-clothed young girl.
The young girl's dress was stained with blood, indicating she was injured. Desperate and out of breath, she fought and fled at the same time.
As a bloodthirsty and greedy creature, the double-headed snake would not abandon its prey so easily and continued to chase the girl.
As the girl was about to lose her life in the snake's mouth, Jinghong didn't think twice before transforming himself into the Heaven-Unveiling Giant Sword, and split the snake's head in half with one swing.
Lin Jinxu ran to the girl as the snake's head exploded, hoping to bring her to safety.
Unexpectedly, the situation quickly changed.
The snake's head contained poisonous mist that spread as it burst. Both Lin Jinxu and the young girl were shrouded in the fog.
They inhaled the poisonous mist, and their minds went hazy…
Jinghong coughed twice at this point, omitting ten thousand words from the story.
*
The next morning, the poisonous mist had cleared, and both of them woke up from their stupor.
Without a word, the girl slapped him and crushed her token, leaving the realm abruptly.
Lin Jinxu was left speechless, denied even the opportunity to explain, as he watched her disappear before his eyes.
“And then?”
Lin Jinlei, with a racing heart, eagerly asked, “Did Second Brother ever see her again?”
“No.”
Jinghong helplessly shrugged, “After the Secret Realm closed, we searched the surrounding seas near Sudden Wind Ocean for a long time and checked every island, but we couldn't find any trace of the girl. She seemed to disappear into thin air, and we never saw her again.”
“After returning from the Sudden Wind Ocean, Second Brother volunteered to stay in the Polar Ice Field and has spent eight years there as part of the Security Battalion. No matter how much our grandmother urged him, he refused to marry. Could it be related to this?”
Lin Jinrui, quick-witted and quick to react after hearing the story, seemed to understand what had happened.
Glancing at Little Yijing and Little Kunpeng, who were paying close attention, full of bright eyes and perked-up ears, his mind raced to help his Second Brother build goodwill.
“I was wondering why Second Brother has not married all these years.”
Members of the Lin Clan shared the same mindset. Lin Jinlei was just momentarily stunned before following his lead.
“Neither princesses from other countries nor the ladies of Capital City could catch his eye. He must have fallen in love at first sight and longs for Little Yijing's mother.”
“Little Yijing is so adorable. His mother must be an incredibly beautiful woman.”
Lin Jinhao confidently added, “Only a peerless beauty like that could have a place in Second Brother's heart, cherished and unforgettable for a lifetime.”
“Mhmm, yes.”
Even the disciples, including Yi Xian'er, were quick to respond and chimed in in agreement.
“Hehe.”
As clever as Little Yijing was, he was still a six or seven-year-old child. Upon hearing everyone's unanimous opinions, he giggled, his eyes curving into crescents.
The three Lin brothers exchanged a glance and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Jinrui took advantage of the situation to slip out into the yard, retrieved a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a message to his Second Brother.
An hour later, far away at the Polar Ice Field's outpost, Lin Jinxu received the message; with the talisman in hand and facing the bone-chilling wind, he stared blankly for the time it takes to burn an incense stick.
