Volume 3, Chapter 11 – My Brother Bai, Bai Lianyue

After completely entrusting the mechanical girl’s repair task to Zhouyu, Miss Bai Lian left her room. Being completely clueless about mechanics and unable to do anything except dismantling, staying in the room would only get in the way.

However, After leaving the room, Bai Lianyue seemed to enter a rather awkward state. That is, she seemed to have nothing to do?

Due to watching horror movies with the twins a few days ago and being frightened by the scene of ghosts crawling out of the screen, the Malevolence miss definitely wasn’t going to touch any electronic devices recently. And without watching movies, what else could she do?

In the past, when she was bored in the Veiled Domain, she would often go play with the twins. But now? The twins seemed to have been sent to some Nolan Kindergarten?

As for Ai’er, She went to practice and study, so she couldn’t accompany her either.

All at once, this left Bai Lian feeling very bored.

Normally, the Lingyuan family’s butler Naro would often come to find her, requiring her to fulfill her responsibilities as the lady of the house, handling various matters of the Lingyuan family. But then, just a few days ago, after she expressed her annoyance and reluctantly processed a few documents and offered some suggestions?

Naro looked at her as if she were crazy and never asked her to handle affairs again. Saying she should just rest well and enjoy life?

Hmm, Strange, her suggestions were very constructive, weren’t they? Why such resistance?

Although the Malevolence miss didn’t quite understand what the other Lingyuan family servants were thinking, in any case, the Malevolence miss had already become something like a family mascot.

And so, Miss Bai Lianyue, like a noblewoman, holding a parasol, aimlessly strolled around this vast estate.

While walking, the Malevolence miss couldn’t help but furrow her brow again. Because she noticed that there seemed to be many more signposts around? Each signpost was telling her which direction to go to reach the Lingyuan family’s main residence.

“Hmm~, these servants of the Lingyuan family are quite thoughtful. Afraid that Miya and Weiya might get lost, they specially made signposts~” The self-talking young woman couldn’t help but reveal a sweet smile.

However, The next moment, the Malevolence miss’s beautiful brow furrowed again.

“Well, but Miya and Weiya haven’t gotten lost for a long time, have they? What’s the point of making these signposts? And so many… Isn’t it a bit redundant?”

“It kind of ruins the estate’s aesthetics.”

“And wastes money.”

“Maybe I should go back and tell Naro to remove them.”

“Hmm? By the way, how do I get back to the main residence? Where have I walked to?”

Looking around at the somewhat unfamiliar environment, Bai Lianyue scratched the back of her head in confusion.

Meanwhile, At the Lingyuan family’s training ground.

The Lingyuan family guards who should have been conducting tactical training and personal cultivation had already gathered at the center of the training ground, all without exception, with bright expressions and excited faces as they watched the two figures swiftly engaging in the barrier ahead…

Watching the two figures clashing within the barrier.

The reason why this sparring match could attract the attention of so many guards was simple… because one of the sparring partners was the Lingyuan family’s recovered eldest daughter Ailiya, and the other was one of the miracles of not just the Lingyuan family, but the entire human society.

The First Celestial Augur Knight, Xi Xuan-West.

Although Xi Xuan was a member of the Lingyuan family, he had spent years traveling abroad, so the guards rarely saw him, let alone witnessed him in action.

Now, With Xi Xuan beginning to spar with the young miss in the training ground, it naturally attracted attention, with the area outside the barrier already filled with people. Many members of the Lingyuan family wanted to see this legendary master in person and witness his techniques.

And as the sparring progressed, led by Guard Captain Niyi, astonishment continuously flooded everyone’s eyes.

Being shocked by Xi Xuan’s techniques was one thing, Most people were more astounded by Young Miss Ailiya’s responses.

In the guards’ eyes, Lord Xi Xuan had come to the training ground to instruct the eldest young miss. Unexpectedly, the two were having a proper sparring match, and what was even more surprising was… Young Miss Ailiya could actually hold her own against Xi Xuan??

“This, I, am I dreaming??” Rubbing his eyes, Niyi looked at the scene within the barrier with some existential doubt.

Only to see at this moment, Within the barrier, Xi Xuan was wielding his sword, launching continuous attacks against Ailiya. And Ailiya not only could defend against Xi Xuan’s fierce offensive but could even seize opportunities to counterattack, with several counterattacks nearly hitting Xi Xuan.

Although Xi Xuan had deliberately suppressed his spiritual energy to the Divine Martial Realm to spar with Ailiya, he was after all a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Departure Realm, with a huge advantage in physical strength still existing.

Additionally, Xi Xuan’s primary fighting style was indeed punching. But it’s worth noting that the First Celestial Augur Knight adhered to the principle of “know yourself, know your enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles,” studying all combat styles, whether it was sword dancing, spear wielding, whip swinging, shooting, magic, etc., he knew them all.

After thousands of years of training and learning, Xi Xuan’s combat skills in almost all areas were like pure fire. Xi Xuan’s swordsmanship, though not as renowned as his fist techniques, was definitely at a master level.

However, What about Ailiya? A young girl in her teens, actually having the ability to contend with Xi Xuan? It naturally left people dumbfounded.

At once, all the spectators unanimously revealed astonished expressions.

Meanwhile, within the barrier, Under the shocked gaze of countless people, Ailiya wielded dual swords! The blade enveloped in cherry-colored augury force once again broke through Xi Xuan’s sword energy. At the same time, Ailiya’s bright eyes narrowed, her short sword thrust forward, directly forcing Xi Xuan to retreat.

With the surge of white light, Xi Xuan retreated to about ten meters away.

Standing upright again, glancing at the nearly broken long sword in his right hand, he couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile from the bottom of his heart.

“Hehehe, good, good, very good! As expected of my granddaughter! Excellent!”

As the words of praise were spoken, Xi Xuan dispersed the powerful spiritual energy permeating the barrier.

During the sparring, Xi Xuan had been constantly monitoring his granddaughter’s physical condition. Realizing that Ailiya’s augury force was almost exhausted and her physical stamina was nearly at its limit, Xi Xuan very sensibly threw his sword aside.

After terminating the training, Xi Xuan walked step by step to Ailiya’s side, looking at his granddaughter with concern.

“How do you feel, little Ailiya? Is your body adapting?”

“It’s okay.” Drenched in sweat, Ailiya panted heavily, wiping sweat while nodding. “Not a big problem.”

“Mm, very good.” Seeing this, Xi Xuan nodded even more satisfactorily and raised his hand to affectionately and fondly rub Ailiya’s little head, “Practicing for so long, yet your energy remains so stable. Good, good, even more impressive than your father was back then.”

“That’s just because grandfather was holding back.” Ailiya said modestly.

Of course, After receiving the praise, the silver-haired young woman couldn’t help but feel a surge of happiness inside.

“Hehe.” Hearing this, Xi Xuan gave a faint smile and then shook his head meaningfully.

At this moment, Xi Xuan already knew why Ailiya had been able to temporarily hold off Moande earlier. This girl’s sword skills had likely surpassed many living grandmasters. In fact, when it came to sword skills, Ailiya was already not inferior to him.

“Your grandfather, I wasn’t holding back at all.”

“Hmm?”

“But honestly, little Ailiya. This set of sword techniques, these movements, where exactly did you learn them from?” With a smile, Xi Xuan asked the question that concerned him the most.

Xi Xuan was well aware that when Ailiya was young, she hadn’t learned sword techniques or movement skills. And during the eight years in the Veiled Domain, Ailiya only had her two sisters and her mother Lianna for company.

Under these circumstances, where did she learn such exquisite sword techniques? After all, it was common knowledge that Lianna wasn’t skilled in swordsmanship.

Of course, For this question from Xi Xuan, Ailiya had naturally prepared an answer long ago.

“This? Self-taught, of course~”

“Self-taught?”

“Mm-hmm. The safe house where we took refuge was quite large… It not only had all kinds of canned food, but also a training facility that hadn’t yet been scrapped, which would simulate many different scenarios and then teach me various combat techniques in those scenarios. All those movement skills and sword techniques were learned there. The artificial intelligence database inside had quite a lot of stuff.”

With her hand pinching her chin, Ailiya ‘recalled’ while speaking.

That her techniques were taught hands-on by a Malevolence? This kind of thing, Ailiya naturally wouldn’t reveal. Even if it was to her grandfather.

And so, Ailiya, as previously discussed with Sister Serveiling, attributed everything to Shenluo’s black technology.

Hearing this, a barely perceptible strange light flashed in Xi Xuan’s eyes. But this First Celestial Augur Knight didn’t say anything, and after a brief silence, he smiled thoughtfully in understanding.

“I see. Being able to find a safe house, with virtual training equipment of such high value still preserved, that’s truly a blessing in disguise. I just didn’t expect that my big brother’s battle techniques would be recorded in Shenluo’s system.”

“Big, big brother?” Hearing this term, a strange light also surged in Ailiya’s eyes. For someone whom Xi Xuan would refer to with such a respectful tone as big brother, Ailiya only knew of one…

“Grandfather, you mean?”

“The chief of the First Celestial Augur Knights.”

“Chief?”

“Yes, my brother Bai… Bai Lian.”
