Chapter 290:
In the dense forest, Lin Yan strode forward. He had chosen to stay here initially because he sensed a faint trace of a law of destiny emanating from Da Tiechui. Now that he had identified an inheritance manual perfectly suited to him, there was no longer any reason to remain. Whether he left today or tomorrow made no difference; he would leave on his own.
However, before he could exit the forest, his steps suddenly halted. He turned to look at the dark forest behind him and shook his head. Despite his power being sealed and restrained, he was still a master-level cultivator. Even his instincts were far superior to an ordinary person's.
At this moment, he clearly felt someone stealthily following him. And that person was none other than the one who had previously gotten along well with him—Da Tiechui.
"Da Tiechui, come out," Lin Yan called out after a moment of contemplation. Since they had gotten along reasonably well over the past few days, it was best to clear things up while there was time.
As Da Tiechui stepped out from the dense forest, Lin Yan's expression turned strange. Da Tiechui was now dressed in tight-fitting women's clothing and looked entirely different from her previously rough appearance. Now, she resembled a refined lady, a stark contrast to her former wild look.
Emerging from behind a large tree, Da Tiechui hesitated slightly before meeting Lin Yan's gaze. After examining her from head to toe, Lin Yan smiled and said, "If I were somewhere else, I might not have recognized you in this outfit."
"My name is Qi Bing," Da Tiechui solemnly, watching Lin Yan's reaction closely. Seeing no change in his expression, she sighed in relief. "Lin Yan, it seems you truly weren't sent by those people. Otherwise, you wouldn't react so indifferently upon hearing my name."
"I've told you before, I don't know anything about your situation," Lin Yan replied and shook his head. "You must have a reason for following me. If it's not too difficult, I might help you, considering our recent interactions."
Lin Yan had come to this world for a trial, so he couldn't afford to waste all his time on Qi Bing. Moreover, now that he had found a suitable inheritance manual, he wanted to examine it as soon as possible.
Seeing Lin Yan's calm demeanor, Qi Bing gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt before him. "Sir, I want to become your disciple."
"Become my disciple?" Lin Yan was taken aback by Qi Bing's request. He had never expected her to ask such a thing.
Qi Bing quickly explained, "Sir, my Qi family was once a prominent sect, but we were betrayed and have been in exile ever since. We can't even approach our ancestral inheritance. I want to become your disciple so that when I grow stronger, I can reclaim our lost inheritance."
Lin Yan listened quietly. He had no interest in Qi Bing's tales of revenge and grudges. As for taking on a disciple, he had never considered it.
Seeing no change in Lin Yan's expression, Qi Bing felt a pang of anxiety and quickly added, "Sir, I know you're planning to go to the Heavenly Sect. I'm very familiar with the Heavenly Sect and can guide you."
Over the past few days, Qi Bing had noticed that Lin Yan was quite unfamiliar with many aspects of this world. This was why she had so readily believed that he wasn't her enemy.
Hearing Qi Bing's offer, Lin Yan was intrigued. As a native of this world, Qi Bing was well-versed in its details. Having her by his side would undoubtedly save him a lot of time.
"Alright, you can stay with me from today onward. But don't mention becoming my disciple again. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can come to me for guidance," Lin Yan said with a slight nod.
Seeing that Lin Yan had not agreed to take her as a disciple, Qi Bing felt a bit disappointed. However, remembering how Lin Yan had effortlessly killed that middle-aged man before, she felt a surge of excitement. Being around such a powerful expert, even if he only casually guided her, her strength would surely increase manifold.
