Chapter 483

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, so she had to think for a while before answering, “This time, my purpose of visiting was for a competition. Now that it is accomplished, it is time for me to leave.”

Song Jinglan gave her a gentle gaze and said to her, “If the lady is willing to stay in the palace for a longer time, I can compete with you every day to practise your swordsmanship and sword skills— how about it? “

Exchanging blades with masters of martial arts was the best way to improve oneself. This kind of opportunity was rare, and Yan Xin couldn’t help but smile, “Really?”

Song Jinglan nodded and smiled, “Naturally.”

Yan Xin happily answered, “Okay, then I’ll stay for a little longer!” She paused and couldn’t help asking, “Do you perhaps want me to stay and spend more time with Little Lu?”

The man in front of her was nothing like the legendary murderous and cruel tyrant.

He slowly smiled and into a bright one. Whenever the topic of conversation was about Lin Feilu, even his brows and eyes became gentler than ever, “Yes, she is very happy with you around.”

Lin Feilu wanted to avoid fighting with Yan Xin. On one hand, she didn’t want to lose her reputation and on the other hand, she didn’t know how much help she could provide for Yan Xin, considering that she was only half a proper student of the legendary master. If so, it made more sense to have Song Jinglan help her since he would be able to help her improve her swordsmanship.

She understood Yan Xin’s temperament very well. Since she came for a competition, she would leave after that.

After returning to the Yong An Palace, Lin Feilu packed up all the prizes she had won from the arenas. Besides the Celestial Silkworm Armor, there were also some hidden weapon pills and the like. She didn’t need them anyway, so she planned to give them to Yan Xin altogether.

After packing the presents, she asked Songyu to bring over a brush, ink, paper and inkstone. She was going to write a letter to Lin Ting and would ask Yan Xin to take a small toy back for Lin Zhanyuan.

While writing, Yan Xin came back.

Lin Feilu asked with a smile while writing, “Sister Yan Xin, what’s the result of the competition?”

Yan Xin sat beside her, “Of course he won, but I have benefited a lot and I will ask for more advice in the days to come.”

Lin Feilu paused and looked up in surprise, “Eh? You’re not leaving?”

She smiled, “I won’t be going home for now.”

As expected, Lin Feilu’s eyes glowed as she threw the brush away and hugged her, “That’s great! I thought you were leaving tomorrow and even prepared a parting gift.”

Yan Xin couldn’t help being curious, “What gift?”

Lin Feilu handed her the prizes she had won, “This is the Celestial Silkworm Armor, the Thousand Needles and this is the Thousand Flower Detoxifying Pill, all of which I won from the arena!”

Yan Xin took it and looked at all the items one by one with a bit of doubt in his eyes.

Lin Feilu couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter? Do you not like it?”

Yan Xin shook her head, “Thank you Little Lu, I like it very much, but…” She thought for a while before saying, “Both the Celestial Silkworm Armor and the Thousand Needles are exquisite products from the Hidden Sword Villa, which have disappeared in the martial world for many years. I remember hearing from my master that these two treasures belonged to the royal family of the Song Empire and were stored in the national treasury, so it’s really strange that they ended up being your prizes from the arena.”
