Dashing Student-Chapter 1180: Brother-in-Law, Hurry Over

Lin Rou was certainly not unfamiliar with the name Chen Nan, but the inquiry from the "Chen Han" in front of her about this matter made her think more deeply.

Could it be that there is some connection between Chen Han and Chen Nan? After all, they both have the surname Chen, or perhaps...

Suddenly, Lin Rou thought of something, a look of shock filled her pupils, but she quickly calmed down and looked at the night sky with a smile.

"I don’t need to look into this information, because I investigated it long ago. The one who issued the bounty at Yama Hall was the Wang Family of Qing Province."

"I’ll also give you a piece of news: the killer who took the bounty back then was named Xie Xiao, a B-level assassin from Yama Hall. This person is extremely ambitious and took the assignment because Chen Nan made it onto the Hidden Dragon List, and he succeeded at that time, which made him famous."

"But later on, Chen Nan appeared again, indicating the assassination failed. Xie Xiao was furious and constantly searched for Chen Nan, preparing to assassinate him again."

"Haha, quite determined," Chen Nan sneered twice. For someone like Xie Xiao who wanted to step on him to rise, he had already formed a determination to kill.

Lin Rou seemed to be hinting at something and reminded, "Although Xie Xiao’s intentions are not proper, his strength should not be underestimated. He is a body cultivator of the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer, and his physical strength is very formidable."

Chen Nan looked at Lin Rou with some surprise. Clearly, she was reminding him—could it be that she had already guessed his identity?

The two exchanged a knowing smile without breaking that layer of window paper.

In the room, Lin Jian and Shi Zhongsheng were eavesdropping closely against the window sill, their expressions identical with anxiety. "Oh dear, what is my sister doing? In this situation, she should take the opportunity quickly, or else my brother-in-law might get away!"

Shi Zhongsheng also scratched his head, seemingly in agreement with Lin Jian’s words.

On the rooftop, Lin Rou and Chen Nan naturally heard the commotion in the room, and Lin Rou’s face turned entirely black in embarrassment. The light fabric from her sleeve suddenly flew out, scrunched into a fist-like shape, and flew down to hit Lin Jian in the face.

"Ouch!"

Lin Jian covered his face, quickly shut the window, and embraced Shi Zhongsheng as he ran to bed to sleep.

Feeling the sense of freedom and the reprimand from his sister, he involuntarily smiled.

Living is good.

...

The relationship between Chen Nan and Lin Rou did not develop as Lin Jian thought. After obtaining the information she wanted, Lin Rou returned to her room.

And Chen Nan stayed on the rooftop, cultivating under the moonlight all night, draining tens of thousands of low-grade Spirit Stones, leaving a thick layer of fragments piled up beside him.

At the break of dawn, when sunlight tore through the night, the mana within Chen Nan’s body accumulated to the limit, and he understood the information that had been troubling him, resulting in a crystal-clear state of mind.

It was as if an invisible barrier had been quietly breached by him.

His cultivation was elevated from the late-stage Golden Core Second Level to the Perfect Realm, just a step away from the Third Layer of Golden Core Realm.

At the moment of breakthrough, the nature’s spiritual energy within a hundred miles converged towards him, and the sleeping Lin Jian and Lin Rou in the next room immediately sensed it.

They ran out of the room to look at Chen Nan on the rooftop, smiling.

To them, Chen Nan was a benefactor, so seeing their benefactor’s cultivation improve made them genuinely happy, but soon their smiles turned into deep astonishment.

Because they were shocked to discover, in the process of absorbing such massive spiritual energy, Chen Nan seemed like a bottomless pit, sustaining it for a long time. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Even three Golden Core Second-Layer cultivators placed here couldn’t absorb so much.

"No wonder at such a young age, merely with Second-Layer Golden Core Realm cultivation, he could refine Fifth Grade Elixir. Truly extraordinary," Lin Jian elbowed Lin Rou: "Sis, don’t you want to hold onto such a talent?"

Lin Rou rolled her eyes at him, feeling a bit melancholic. "What nonsense are you talking? He is a True Dragon in the sky, destined to soar high. We are not from the same world as him."

"Oh, sis, you’re just too self-conscious. If brother-in-law had no interest in you, how could he just give away Fifth Grade Elixirs?" Lin Jian hurriedly persuaded, "Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this!"

"Don’t make a mess!" Lin Rou warned, without taking it to heart, because in her memory, even if Lin Jian’s cultivation were higher, Chen Nan wouldn’t suffer a loss.

The process of Chen Nan frantically absorbing nature’s spiritual energy lasted a full incense stick’s time, almost draining all spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius.

And his cultivation was firmly stabilized.

As he slowly opened his eyes, he saw the smiling faces of Lin Rou and Lin Jian below the rooftop, and he smiled apologetically, "Sorry for disturbing you."

"Brother-in-law, what’s said among family stays in the family. You saved me, so today I must thank you properly," Lin Jian said, winking at Lin Rou.

Lin Rou, helpless with her brother, could only support, "Yes, we should properly thank you."

Chen Nan, who originally intended to leave directly for revenge, found it hard to refuse upon seeing their earnest expressions, so he could only nod and agree to stay for one more day.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jian was delighted upon hearing this and quickly had his sister prepare a good meal, while he took out ten jars of fine wine from his storage bag.

Opening the seal of the wine jars, the intoxicating aroma wafted out, seemingly enough to get one drunk without drinking.

Chen Nan was somewhat surprised. The fine wines Lin Jian took out could be considered Jadescent Nectar, although they couldn’t match the Immortal Brew he possessed, it was quite good.

"Brother-in-law, come quickly. I obtained this during my travels outside, from the ruins of a sect. It’s aged millions of years, incredibly mellow. Even a peak Golden Core Stage cultivator would get drunk, provided they don’t use mana to dissolve the effects."

Chen Nan did not correct Lin Jian’s address, as it was harmless: "Are you willing to use such good wine to treat me? If placed elsewhere, these ten jars would be worth at least millions of Spirit Stones!"

Lin Jian waved generously, "Ah, I already said we are family. No matter how good the wine, it’s worth it. Brother-in-law, today we must drink until we’re thoroughly satisfied!"

"Alright, I’ll keep you company," Chen Nan agreed with a smile.

Very soon, Lin Rou returned to the small courtyard, setting over ten dishes on the table, all made from precious Spirit Plants and Demon Beast Meat.

At Forget Worry Inn, this tableful would be worth over tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

One could only say that this pair of siblings was very generous.

Lin Jian poured wine for Chen Nan, and upon tasting a sip, Chen Nan appeared very surprised. Through his understanding and mastery of Spiritual Medicine, he could taste that dozens of spiritual medicines were soaked within the wine.

Even for him, a sip brought a subtle increase to his cultivation, so he couldn’t help having a few more cups.

Beside him, Lin Jian was even happier to see this, continuously refilling Chen Nan’s wine.

"Brother-in-law, drink more. Only when you’re a bit tipsy can things be done properly!"
