Everyone is Secretly in Love with Me

CH.9: It’s All the Physiques Fault

Lin Zhizhi, with a face full of excitement, followed Xuan Hua and walked into a cave.1

Xuan Hua’s dwelling was just like himself, bearing a cold spiritual energy.
It didn’t look large from the outside, but inside felt like a whole other world.

Shizun Daren walking ahead finally stopped his steps at a flat valley inside the cave.
He glanced around faintly, waving his hand at the nearby bamboo forest, and a bamboo flew into his hand.
Xuan Hua asked Lin Zhizhi, “Have you practiced the sword?” 

Hearing the question, Lin Zhizhi took out the sword he received from the Lin Clan’s Nascent Soul elder, face eager to try, “I’ve practiced.”

Xuan Hua dipped his chin and motioned for the little disciple to practice in front of him.

From a young age, the proud and arrogant Lin Clan’s young master was full of confidence, posture outstanding, holding up a sharp sword, tip light.
Although the Gentle Wind Style was insufficient in spiritual energy, it was extremely pleasing to the eye, smooth to the extreme. 

However, Xuan Hua wasn’t very satisfied.
Waiting till Lin Zhizhi completed his sword style, he ruthlessly pointed out Lin Zhizhi’s weakness, “Your foundation is inadequate.”

After saying those words, and without waiting for his little disciple to argue, Xuan Hua used the bamboo in his hand and sliced it like a sword, “Watching this, I did not use any spiritual energy.” 

The simple purple-bamboo left a shallow mark in the air. 

It looked so gentle, yet it cut through the air. 

Like a sword cuts through chaos. 

Standing opposite him, Lin Zhizhi had a feeling.
If Xuan Hua wanted to kill him with that move, he would have nowhere to escape. 

—Shizun Daren’s strength was here.
Even if he didn’t use his accomplishments, he can make Lin Zhizhi speculate on the shallowest of swordsmanship for a long time.

The black-haired youth’s eyes suddenly lit up, bright like a light in the dark night, making his whole person glow.
Lin Zhizhi rushed over and asked, “Shizun wants to teach me this trick?” 

Worthy of the fate of a teacher, in such a close distance with his little disciple staring at him with that gaze, Xuan Hua had the impulse to promise him everything he wanted—Fortunately, his determination was strong, and he forced down that split-section of turbulence and said in a cold voice, “Learn the basic sword formula first.”

Lin Zhizhi’s face dropped. 

Xuan Hua wasn’t willing to see him like this, and quickly added on a complement, “When you have a good foundation, whatever you want to learn Shizun will teach you.”

And then, just as he wished, he saw the young youth opposite to him brighten up.

The purple-robed Dao Zun passed the bamboo to Lin Zhizhi, simultaneously sweeping his sleeve towards the purple-bamboo forest, and immediately a couple of bamboos flew towards them, forming a humanoid shape, posture ready to fight. 

At first, the purple-bamboo person’s movements were a little sluggish, tilting back and forth and making Lin Zhizhi a little worried whether or not it’ll fall apart, but soon it seemed like it gained spirit, rapidly progressing. 

“Learn.”

—Hearing the voice of Shizun in his ear, Lin Zhizhi became serious.

But no matter how he looked, he felt…… this purple-bamboo figure’s style is super familiar?! When he punished rogue cultivators before, it seemed like he used the same exact moves? 

“Shizun, those moves…… where have I seen them?”

Xuan Hua glanced at him, “You indeed should’ve seen, ‘Basic Sword Tips,’ everywhere outside.

Lin Zhizhi, “………………I thought Shizun said the basic sword tips were his original kind?”

Being asked this by Lin Zhizhi, Xuan Hua was somewhat puzzled, “I’d invent an original basic sword method to do what?”

“……”

—It’s so reasonable that he can’t refute it.

But Shizun, what about the God’s Basic Sword Tips! QAQ

Lin Zhizhi was very angry Lin Zhizhi was very wronged Lin Zhizhi was very sad, so Lin Zhizhi stared at Xuan Hua in silence. 

“You are well qualified, but your foundation is average.” Xuan Hua explained his intention for his little disciple, “Practice no less than a hundred times a day, you will realize the benefits.”

Young Master Lin Zhizhi, the owner of a heavenly spirit root, had indeed never practiced the ‘Basic Sword Tips.’ The Lin’s Book Pavilion contains ‘Green Crane Secrets,’ ‘Golden Lightsaber Array,’ and other high-grade sword methods just waiting for him to pick up, but it doesn’t contain any of the third-rate staple common goods.

But since Dao Zun had said so, there must be a reason for him. 

Lin Zhizhi forced down the impatience in his heart, slender fingers holding up the purple-bamboo sword, and began to charge towards the human figure in front of him.

This ‘Basic Sword Tips’ deserves its name, with Lin Zhizhi’s comprehension, in not even half an hour, he had all tricks recorded in his mind and was able to play it out in any way. 

It’s just that there were some small things he didn’t notice……

Watching the black-haired youth’s slightly inaccurate second move, Xuan Hua, who was watching at the side, raised his eyebrows and walked towards Lin Zhizhi.

Lin Zhizhi was absorbed in his practice, but suddenly a hand gripped his sword-carrying right hand, and an unfamiliar chest pressed against his shoulder.
At the same time, a low, cold, voice sounded in his ears, “Here is not right.
Place your hand again, the sword has to be held like this……”

Warm breath from the spoken words puffed against the root of his ear, and Lin Zhizhi couldn’t help but shrink his neck. 

Because Xuan Hua was teaching him how to hold the sword, he was confining half of Lin Zhizhi’s body, two people leaning extremely close.
Dao Zun’s unique cold scent enveloped Lin Zhizhi’s nose, making his legs go soft.

It must be that damnable Enchanting Physique—

Suddenly his body was sensitive, and Lin Zhizhi felt like weeping yet he had no tears. 

He wasn’t like this before! Su Yu used to sleep with him for a period of time, them two good people who’ve gone and done through thick and thin and he still didn’t have easily soft legs! Even if he saw Su Yu’s naked body, he still didn’t blush!  

Improving cultivation was imperative! He must hold down this terrible physique!

Xuanhua, however, didn’t know the thoughts of the youth who was almost embraced to his chest.
The originally not close to women, and of course, not close to men, Dao Zun touched his disciple’s hand, suddenly remembered the recent scene in the hot spring. 

If Lin Zhizhi was still wet right now, then he’d be able to directly touch the skin under the clothes……

Soft, delicate skin. 

If he was able to touch it, it’ll take initiative and draw in his fingers and make him completely not want to leave.

Little disciple was indeed…… too dangerous. 

A purple light flashed through Dao Zun’s dark eyes. 

Lin Zhizhi was relying on himself to stay strong (?) self-control restraining the impulse of his legs going soft, and in accordance with Xuan Hua’s directions, he broke the ambiguous atmosphere, “Like this?”

Xuan Hua’s thoughts were interrupted by the remark, and he came back to his mind, wanting to first let go of the young man in his arm’s hand, but when loosening his embrace, unknowingly if it was deliberate or unintentional, he swept his sleeves at Lin Zhizhi, directly making the black-haired youth fall into his arms embrace. 

At the same time, his left hand trailed down, covering the youth’s tender waist—but soon, the force pushing down pushed outwards. 

Dao Zun Daren, as gentle as clouds, pushed the little disciple out of his arms, as if nothing happened, “En, just like I said before.” 

Lin Zhizhi didn’t know the rough sea under Xuan Hua’s cold appearance.
He only knew he was just unilaterally affected by the Enchanting Physique, thus after leaving Xuan Hua’s embrace, breaking away from that feeling, he practiced the basic sword formula. 

Afterward, Xuan Hua did not personally guide Lin Zhizhi.
When he’d notice a mistake, he only needed to use words to point a bit, and Lin Zhizhi would be able to deduce and continue practicing to the peak. 

“Not bad,” when Lin Zhizhi mastered the set of Basic Sword Tips, Xuan Hua nodded in satisfaction, giving his little disciple praise.
As Lin Zhizhi prepared to return the purple-bamboo sword to him, Xuan Hua indicated to the other party to keep it, “In the future, every time you practice, use this sword.
It is getting dark, go rest for the night and report again to the Sect door outside tomorrow.” 

Lin Zhizhi nodded yes. 

He then appeasingly rubbed his original sword, and also put the bamboo sword in the ring. 

That night, Lin Zhizhi, who had left the Lin Residence and was now laying in his Shizun’s cave, tossed and turned sleeplessly—because he truly couldn’t fall asleep, he went to the back courtyard and practiced half a night of the Basic Sword Formula, up until daybreak, where he finally rested.

Cave – Cave dwelling, legendary abode of immortals.1. 

I’m p sure the novel implied that Zhizhi is only 16.

Xuan Hua, bro……
