The weather was turning cool, a refreshing autumn breeze blowing, it was late autumn and the beginning of winter.
A gentle breeze brushed across the water’s surface, causing the red leaves all over the courtyard to rustle and scatter, falling and creating ripples in the water.
At the end of the corridor, a figure clad in white quietly stepped out.
It was a young man of unparalleled beauty, dressed in a sea-bright moon, azure sky, and white sun brocade robe.
His eyes and brows were refined and aloof, his aura noble, like an immortal descended from a painting.
The autumn scenery and the shallow pond filled with maple leaves paled in comparison, as if even the passing clouds had to pause and take notice.
Who wouldn’t sigh at the sight of such a youth: truly, he deserves to captivate the entire Heavenly Inscription Sect and be renowned throughout the Holy Word Dynasty—Senior Brother Lin.
Although the autumn maple scenery was beautiful, wherever Lin Huaian stood, that place became the most beautiful scenery.
Everyone and everything else could only serve as a backdrop.
Lin Huaian took a few steps to the edge of the pond and looked at his reflection in the water.
Although he had already seen himself in the mirror this morning and had somewhat adjusted, he was still struck by his own face.
It wasn’t just the appearance, but the indescribable aura that was even more captivating, like a poetic sword immortal who had stepped out of a painting, untouched by worldly concerns.
He stared at his reflection for a long time, then sighed softly.
With the aloofness of a worldly expert, he straightened up, placing his hands behind his back.
Facing the autumn breeze and red leaves, he exuded an inexplicable aura of profundity in his silence.
In the distance, the maids gathered together, gazing at Lin Huaian with infatuated eyes.
Although their young master was famous throughout the world for his appearance, what these servants were more familiar with was Lin Huaian’s ever-present bad temper.
Throughout the entire Lin family, very few people could endure Lin Huaian’s torment.
Even his personal maids could hardly bear his villainous nature, not to mention that Lin Huaian had now lost all his cultivation.
It was all too normal for him to take his anger out on them, so they only watched from a distance.
“Sigh… Young Master is really handsome…”
“It was alright before. Young Master wasn’t just handsome, he was also an unparalleled cultivator. But now, Young Master is just an ordinary handsome man…”
“Is an extraordinary handsome man ordinary?”
“I guess so?”
“But I don’t think Young Master is useless,” a young maid said hesitantly as the maids began to discuss handsome men.
“How could that be? The news of Young Master’s crippling was personally announced by his sect leader, Ji Xin, the Heavenly Inscription Sect Leader!
That’s a great cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm! A god!”
“But look at Young Master now,” the young maid said carefully.
She pointed to Lin Huaian, who stood aloof and indifferent against the autumn scenery in the distance.
“Not only is he not irritable, but he doesn’t show any signs of disappointment, and he seems to be thinking about something profound…”
The maids were stunned when they heard this because what she said seemed to be true?
At this time, Lin Huaian indeed possessed a more composed aura than before, and there was no trace of sadness.
He closed his eyes silently, as if he had realized something, as if the former Primordial Holy Body genius had never left.
“Could it be that the sect leader is cooperating with Young Master to deceive us?”
“I don’t know…”
“Didn’t that genius Miss Yun Ling come to the door yesterday to look for Young Master?
Not only was Young Master unharmed, but Miss Yun Ling looked especially happy when she left?”
“Could it be…”
Lin Huaian could sense some noisy discussions in the distance, but he couldn’t hear the specific content.
Of course, he didn’t want to hear it clearly either.
Right now, he only had one thing on his mind, one thing, the most important thing—
‘I am so freaking handsome!’
Seriously, so freaking handsome.
How could there be such a handsome man in the world?
Not to mention this figure, this face, even just this aloof aura, these deep eyes, these long eyelashes, sword-like brows and starry eyes—it was all custom-made for me!
Lin Huaian closed his eyes and recalled his reflection in the water just now, feeling ecstatic.
Who cares what those maids are talking about?
Don’t bother me from admiring my own beauty!
It’s a pity, such a handsome and extraordinary young man is actually a useless person who can’t cultivate.
However, it’s worth mentioning that this ability to see through the plot is indeed only useful for those with great luck.
Lin Huaian encountered many flustered maids and guards on the way since he got up in the morning, but he didn’t see their future plot lines.
After they saw Lin Huaian, they were either at a loss, standing at attention, or simply lowering their heads to salute.
For example, this unfamiliar girl who is about to pass by him right now.
Lin Huaian opened his eyes and turned his head, just in time to see a tiptoeing maid.
Only then did he realize that the place where he was standing was the only way to get through the courtyard corridor, and based on Lin Huaian’s status, he was essentially blocking the entire courtyard by himself.
“Ah…” When this young and beautiful maid realized that Lin Huaian had seen her, her originally pretty face suddenly turned terrified.
Her two slender legs under the close-fitting dark blue cheongsam couldn’t stop trembling.
Faced with Lin Huaian’s gaze, she was almost about to cry.
In the face of great fear, Lin Huaian’s beauty still lost.
“I, I’m sorry, Young Master! I’m sorry!” The maid was so scared that tears were about to fall.
Although she didn’t do anything, she had to apologize to Lin Huaian.
If she didn’t do so, being beaten up would be a small matter.
If she lost her job as a maid in the Lin family, then her younger sister, that little girl who was still attending private school…
Thinking of this, she couldn’t stop the tears from overflowing.
It was too late to remedy the situation now.
She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and bent her legs, preparing to kneel down and apologize to Lin Huaian again, hoping that Lin Huaian would forgive her after doing so.
But just as her body was falling downwards, a pair of hands supported her under her armpits, directly pulling her up.
The maid opened her eyes in a daze, her tear-reddened eyes filled with doubt, her eyelashes still carrying some teardrops, looking delicate and charming.
“What are you doing? You didn’t do anything, why are you apologizing?”
Lin Huaian put his hands through her armpits, earnestly lifting the girl, who was probably only up to his chin, but he inevitably touched some special parts when he pulled away.
The girl’s face turned red.
She originally thought that the young master was going to act like a beast towards her, but Lin Huaian quickly retracted his hands and took a few steps back, taking the lead in apologizing,
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m really not a pervert, this is force majeure, force majeure!”
This scene shocked many people.
The maids who were secretly watching this scene in the distance were also stunned.
Their young master is apologizing?
Lin Huaian is apologizing?
That arrogant Lin Huaian, who claimed to be unparalleled in the world, is apologizing?
How is that possible?
I must be seeing ghosts?!
The maid, who was the person involved, still felt a little dazed.
She swallowed and barely bowed, trying to say to Lin Huaian,
“I’m sorry, Young Master, for causing Young Master trouble…”
She was very afraid that Lin Huaian was deceiving her, maybe he was just going to take advantage of her carelessness to give her a slap in the face and say,
‘You also deserve my apology?’ So she couldn’t help but close her eyes in fear.
“No, it’s me who caused you trouble,” Lin Huaian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he seemed to be a little too narcissistic, “It’s my fault.”
The girl was dumbfounded.
Is this really her young master?
This is clearly a saint who popped out from who knows where!
Not only would he admit his mistakes, but he would also comfort people, this, this is simply…
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but redden her eyes again, but this time it was because of emotion.
Lin Huaian was stunned.
He thought, ‘Is this my problem again? If I bully you, you cry. If I comfort you, you also cry. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to do a split for you?’
Women are indeed troublesome…
Lin Huaian sighed, and then slowly reached out his hand.
The autumn breeze was refreshing, the coolness was gentle.
Amidst the autumn colors, he slowly placed his hand on the girl’s head.
Because he didn’t have much experience, Lin Huaian could only try to use as little force as possible to rub the girl’s head, for fear of making her angry again.
When he did this to girls in his previous life, most of the replies he got were—’You actually messed up the hairstyle I worked so hard to do!’
But Lin Huaian really didn’t have a good way to comfort girls.
The girl was already petrified.
What is the young master doing?
The young master is… rubbing her head?
How is that possible… It was already the greatest blessing that Lin Huaian didn’t lose his temper at her.
Could it be that he, he is still trying to comfort her?
The maids in the distance didn’t make even a single sound now.
They bit their handkerchiefs tightly, and they couldn’t say anything now because they were very jealous.
They were so jealous!!!
Who could have guessed that the young master would suddenly change his personality? Who could have?!
The girl raised her head blankly, just in time to meet Lin Huaian’s gentle gaze.
He retracted his hand and sighed softly, “Don’t cry anymore in the future.”
What he meant was, ‘Please don’t cry in front of me anymore. I don’t know how to coax little girls at all. If you want to cry, go cry in front of my dad.
My dad is the best at deceiving little girls, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to deceive my mother, the most beautiful woman in Cangzhou back then.’
But when the girl looked at Lin Huaian, her eyes gradually became a little infatuated.
‘Don’t cry anymore in the future.’
The young master would actually comfort her so gently.
Could it be that what he meant was, ‘I won’t let you cry anymore in the future?’
Who can withstand this?!
The girl’s cheeks flushed red.
She suddenly covered her face and ran past Lin Huaian.
The sides of her tight blue cheongsam fluttered in the wind, revealing the smooth, fair calves underneath that made people care.
Lin Huaian narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he had seen some good scenery.
It’s a pity that this one isn’t a child of destiny, otherwise he would definitely start licking her on the spot, licking her white legs until they went soft and she couldn’t walk anymore.
“Sigh,” Lin Huaian felt a little uneasy when he thought about the matter of the child of destiny,
“Why hasn’t Yun Ling come yet? Could it be that the plot failed? That shouldn’t be the case. I remember that the plot wrote that a fairy would come out of the ring last night.”
While he was lost in thought, a voice suddenly came, “Senior!”
Lin Huaian found this voice familiar, so he happily turned his head, just in time to see Yun Ling walking towards him from a distance.
After she walked in front of him, she didn’t hesitate and saluted directly, “Thank you, Senior!”
“Don’t say it outside,” Lin Huaian quickly instructed, “Let’s go, follow me inside.”
Yun Ling was stunned for a moment, and quickly lamented in her heart her childishness and immaturity.
She was so excited after seeing Lin Huaian that she was about to publicize that he was the Supreme Sovereign outside.
Is this good? This is not good.
Since Lin Huaian is the Supreme Sovereign and still wants to stay in this world, then he must want to hide in the city.
Wouldn’t she be ruining his important affairs if she exposed him?
Yun Ling, ah, Yun Ling, your careless personality is really not worthy of this Supreme Sovereign at all!
