Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 61 Elder Meilin

The two figures in the downpour instantly made Renxing deny the possibility that they were Fang Yuan and Zhao Youyue.

Because they were about the same height, and more importantly, because they were both women.

When they got closer, Ren Xing realized that one of them was actually Lü Zirui!
"Where did Xiao Tong go?"

Lin Xiufeng darted after Xiao Tong, who had run out from under the tree, and pressed down on Xiao Tong's wet head with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on the person approaching in the downpour.

He impulsively dodged behind Xiao Tong, grabbed the wolf's horns and pressed them against her back, shouting angrily:

"You despicable bastard! What a great actor! He even brought his luggage!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't listen to the commander. My two best friends will suffer because of me. I really can't help it. I'm so sorry..."

Xiao Tong's eyes reddened, and the tears that welled up were instantly washed away by the torrential rain.

"Stop playing the victim! I'm stubborn and won't fall for that!"

He was controlling Xiao Tong, determined not to let her escape. If he was going to make a move today, he would have to kill her first!

Lin Xiufei wiped the water from her face and head, and her vision cleared for a moment.

The female warrior beside Lü Zirui also stood on silver light.

She has the appearance of a mature older sister, and her long, curly hair should have been styled nicely.

Unfortunately, the sky suddenly turned blue, the rainy season arrived, and torrential rain poured down, soaking her to the bone.

To make matters worse, she was wearing a white mini-skirt and a thin white top, which, after getting wet, revealed that she was not wearing anything underneath.

If Lin Xiufeng hadn't been so keen on scrutinizing the enemy, he wouldn't have dared to look directly at them.

"What a fine Lin Xiufeng! He is handsome and talented, and even more remarkable is his extraordinary talent. He possesses the Heavenly Martial Power of the Fourth Level of the Eight Stars. I admire him greatly."

The woman, who looked like a mature older sister, casually sized up Lin Xiufei before introducing herself.

"My name is Meilin. I'm one of the top ten members of the Fantian Organization, a branch elder, and I have a Heavenly Martial Power of the ninth star at the sixth level. Xiao Rui and I were on our journey together back then; I was her mentor."

Lin Xiufeng wiped the water off her face and head again, and suggested with a smile:
"Sister Meilin, it's raining so hard, why don't we talk under the tree?"

"What a considerate, handsome, and warm-hearted man." Meilin accepted the invitation and moved to the tree.

Xiao Tong, still under the control of the willful man, pleaded with Lü Zirui in a panic:

"General, I, I..."

"What? How dare you interrupt when the elders are speaking?"

Lu Zirui scolded her once and then ignored her.

"I heard about you, so I had to come and see you. Someone as talented as you, tall and handsome, is truly lovable."

Meilin shook the water out of her hair, wrung it out, then unbuttoned two buttons on her shirt, tugging at the clothes to let the water drain down, while her gaze inadvertently swept over Lin Xiufeng.

Lin Xiufeng pretended to be attracted, but immediately looked away when his eyes met hers, looking like a shy and naive young man.

His capriciousness was infuriating, but he had to control Xiao Tong, so he mocked her, saying:
"So you're a D? What are you showing off for!"

Meilin smiled slightly at her. "You're a really pretty little girl."

Renxing knew that Meilin was just putting on an act and pretending to be magnanimous, and he found her even more annoying.

"Sister Meilin wanted to see me. I should have told you earlier. I wouldn't have wanted to leave the fourth, fifth, and sixth villages if I hadn't seen such a beautiful woman like you!"

Lin Xiufeng's glib tongue amused Meilin greatly.

"It's my fault for being impatient. I just wanted to see you as soon as possible. I couldn't wait until we went to the fourth, fifth, or sixth villages, so I asked Xiao Rui to find a way to bring you here. Isn't that much faster?"

Renxing was furious upon hearing this, and muttered resentfully under her breath, "Just like Yiyu in 'Drinking'!"

The torrential rain was so intense that even Lin Xiufeng, who was standing next to him, didn't hear it.

“The little girl is just following orders, why make things difficult for her?” Meilin actually showed some compassion for Xiao Tong.

Lin Xiufeng glanced at Xiao Tong and said with a smile, "There's nothing I can do. Renxing likes Xiao Tong too much and doesn't want her to leave."

"I understand, I understand. It's like how I liked you the moment I saw you and didn't want you to leave." Meilin's smile deepened, but Lin Xiufeng felt even more afraid to relax.

"Sister Meilin came all this way just to see me?"

"Originally, I was recruiting you on behalf of Fantian. Now that I've met you, I can't let you go, either for personal or professional reasons! Join Fantian, follow me from now on, and I'll spoil you."

Meilin finally got to the point.

"With Sister Meilin taking care of me, I'd be more than happy to join the Heaven-Turning Organization!"

Lin Xiufeng answered without hesitation. Seeing the look of surprise on Meilin's face, he added in a conciliatory tone:

"I only have one small request."

"Tell me," Meilin said, curious about what he wanted.

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't like being controlled or tolerating rules and regulations set by others."

"That's easy. Once you join the organization, you'll be made a general and in charge of a region. No one will manage you; you'll be the one managing people."

Meilin was dismissive; she didn't consider it a requirement at all.

Lin Xiufeng's talent and strength meant he deserved this kind of treatment as soon as he joined the organization.

"That's great! Besides that, I won't abide by any unreasonable rules set by the Tian Tian Organization. I'll set everything within my jurisdiction."

Lin Xiufeng smiled broadly, as if she longed for her request to be fulfilled.

Meilin's smile faded slightly, and she suspected that Lin Xiufeng was teasing her.

“Little brother, no organization can meet your demands! Since it is an organization, it must have major principles and frameworks. Adhering to these principles and following the framework is a necessary bottom line.”

"What should I do? I'm a rule-breaker, and if I cause trouble in the future, I'll implicate Sister Meilin... this..."

Lin Xiufeng looked troubled.

"How difficult is it? Just learn to follow the rules. Everyone can learn! You don't know how now just because you haven't been severely beaten by society in the past."

Meilin put one hand on her hip, still smiling, but the emotion in her eyes turned cold. She was certain that Lin Xiufeng was cunning and not honest at all.

"Sister Meilin wouldn't have the heart to hit me, would she? No way?"

Lin Xiufeng said these words to Meilin with a smile. Renxing was already very unhappy and hated his glib tongue even more.

Lu Zirui, who had been silent all along, knew it was time for her to play the bad cop, so she said with a stern face:

"Lin Xiufeng, Elder Meilin has been so devoted to you. If you betray her, don't blame us for acting according to the rules of the Heaven-Turning Organization!"

"The competition in the Dream Continent is fierce. As a Heavenly Warrior, if you don't join the Heavenly Overturning Sect, you will most likely join the Heavenly Martial Guild in the future, or even the Anti-Heaven and Defy Heaven Sect. Sooner or later, you will be enemies. It's better to take action now!"

"Elder Meilin truly cherishes talent and has traveled hundreds of kilometers to come here. You should know what's good for you!"

Lin Xiufeng looked flattered and quickly said:
"Sister Meilin is so kind to me! Can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Sure, since it's raining so hard, what's five minutes to think about it?"

Meilin's smile remained unchanged, but in reality, she gave Lin Xiufeng no room for a playful grin.

He stubbornly suppressed his emotions not because he had learned to stay calm, but simply because the other party was a Heavenly Warrior.

Moreover, she didn't know if Fang Yuan and Zhao Youyue had arrived nearby.

"Five minutes is enough."

Lin Xiufeng agreed with a grin, and moved closer to Meilin, asking her all sorts of questions about the Fantian Organization and the Tianwuzhe.

It's as if they want to learn more information so they can make a decision.

Meilin patiently gave selective answers.

Outside the shade of the trees, the torrential rain continued, and some flat areas of the forest floor were already flooded.

Zhao Youyue and Fang Yuan once again used the trees for cover and braved the torrential rain to move to a tree closer to them.
