I'm in the world of Xianjian

After dawn, grandma walked out of the bedroom and saw Lin Shen sitting on a chair in the hall.

Grandma said, "Good morning, little friend."

Lin Shen took a look and said, "Grandma, good morning."

At this time, a system notification sounded: "Ding! Now issuing a side quest: Fight Zhao Linger!"

Lin Shen complained in his heart: Why is there a fighting mission? But then again, I have already fought with Lin Yueru, so why shouldn’t I fight with Ling’er? Maybe I will have to fight with Li Xiaoyao later.

Grandma moved a chair and sat in front of Lin Shen, saying, "Awen told me everything about you. You've suffered a lot for Ling'er. Thank you for your hard work."

“I did all this willingly.”

Grandma sighed and said, "Regarding Ling'er, it's not convenient for me to say anything. She is a member of the Nuwa tribe, and it's not easy to change their fate."

"Grandma, from the day I came into this world, I was ready to sacrifice my life."

"It seems Ling'er is much luckier than the Witch Queen. Not only does she have a husband who loves her, but she also has you who sacrificed your life for her."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about it. There's something I think you can agree to."

"what happened?"

"I want to have a duel with Ling'er."

"Fighting!? Why? Do you want to test Ling'er's current strength?"

"Right on my mind."

Grandma tapped the chair twice, thought for a moment, and then said, "That's not difficult. When she wakes up, let her have a fight with you. But it looks like you haven't slept all night, right? Is it okay?"

Lin Shen waved his hand and said, "It's okay. When I was practicing in the maze before, it was common to go without sleep for several days and nights as long as my spiritual power was not greatly depleted. When Ling'er wakes up, tell her to find me by the spiritual pool."

Lin Shen thought to himself, "Actually, I'm more worried. After all, a place as beautiful as Xianling Island doesn't really inspire a sense of crisis." The fact that Ling'er didn't properly learn the Resurrection Spell in the original storyline might also have something to do with it.

An hour later, Ling'er finally got up. Grandma told her that Lin Shen had invited Ling'er to a duel. Although Ling'er didn't understand what Lin Shen was up to, she knew that Lin Shen would not harm her.

So he simply washed up, changed his clothes and went to find Lin Shen.

Ling'er came to the spirit pond and searched for Lin Shen for a long time but couldn't find him. She shouted, "Brother Anos, where are you?"

After a while, I heard someone shouting from the tree, "Ling'er, you're here. I've been waiting for you for so long."

Ling'er looked up and saw that Lin Shen was sitting on the tree. Ling'er said, "Brother Anos, I'm sorry. I kept you waiting for so long."

Lin Shen jumped down from the tree and said, "It's okay, just one hour. I told you about the battle."

Ling'er nodded. Lin Shen produced his staff and said, "Ling'er, make your move."

"it is good!"

The two stood facing each other, five meters apart.

When the people of Shuiyue Palace heard that there was something exciting to watch, they all came to watch. Grandma and the Palace Master of Lingyue were among them.

Grandma asked, "Awen, how long do you think Ling'er can hold on?"

The Palace Master of Lingyue said, "It depends on what Anos is thinking. If it's just a test, we can fight for a while. If we come up for real, I guess one round will be enough."

Zhao Linger began to cast a spell, gathering a force of lightning in her hands. Seeing that the power was almost ready, Linger attacked Lin Shen, who fired a black light bullet at him.

When the two forces collided, an explosion occurred. Ling'er was blown back more than ten steps, while Lin Shen did not move at all.

Lin Shen complained in his heart: It is just as I thought. Although the environment of Xianling Island allows her to maintain her innocent character, the side effect is that she lacks a sense of crisis and lacks sufficient motivation to learn spells.

No wonder I had no one to protect me when I was attacked last night.

Zhao Linger condensed another fireball at this time and threw it at Lin Shen. Lin Shen caught it with one hand and crushed it, then gently spread out his palm, and nothing happened except a puff of white smoke.

Lin Shen's performance made everyone in Shuiyue Palace gasp and mutter

"Is there someone so powerful?"

“It’s so scary”

"Thank goodness he's on our side, otherwise we wouldn't even know how we died."

Grandma said, "Awen, I understand what you mean now. If it comes to real action, Ling'er might not be able to withstand even a single blow."

Ling'er raised her right hand, and a huge stone formed in the air. She swung it forward, sending it careening towards Lin Shen. Lin Shen glanced at it and kicked it, shattering it with a single kick. Ling'er then clasped her hands together, gathering a gust of wind and blowing it towards Lin Shen. Lin Shen stood there motionless.

Lin Shen looked at it, yawned, and said, "Ling'er, you're not even close. Watch me."

After saying this, Lin Shen extended his right index finger and condensed a black fireball the size of a soybean. The palace servants of Shuiyue Palace didn't understand why Lin Shen made such a small fireball. Lin Shen thought it was enough and threw it towards Ling'er's feet.

The fireball exploded the moment it hit the ground, and the air wave it created forced Ling'er to retreat repeatedly, unable to stop at all.

When Lin Shen saw that there was a pool behind Ling'er, he was afraid that she would fall in, so he quickly used his shaving teleportation to catch her.

After Ling'er stabilized her body, Lin Shen asked, "Ling'er, are you okay?"

Zhao Linger calmed herself down and said, "Brother Anos, I'm fine." This scene frightened everyone present except the Palace Master Lingyue, and they all opened their mouths wide.

At this time, the Palace Master of Lingyue came over and said, "The battle ends here." Lin Shen and Zhao Linger walked up to the Palace Master. Zhao Linger bowed and said, "Linger greets Master."

The Palace Master said seriously, "Ling'er, your Five Spirits spells need improvement."

Zhao Linger said with a look of shame, "It was my fault that I was lazy."

At this time, the system prompt sounded: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest. The host is rewarded with 1000 system coins!"

When Lin Shen heard that he only gave the system coins, he was about to complain, but then he thought that the difficulty of this task was indeed a bit too easy, so he held back.

The Lingyue Palace Master looked at Lin Shen and said, "My friend." (Lin Shen responded instinctively) "I have a favor to ask of you."

"Master Taoist, please speak."

"Through this competition, I can see that Ling'er's performance is somewhat unsatisfactory. I hope you can give me more guidance."

Lin Shen understood immediately: this meant he was being asked to be Ling'er's sparring partner. So he said, "No problem. But Taoist Priest, I feel like I forgot to take care of something."

The Palace Master of Lingyue thought for a moment and said, "My friend, you are not referring to a large rock blocking the dirt road, are you?"

"That stone is easy to deal with. There's one more thing... uh, Taoist Priest, is your grave still poking there?"

Everyone remembered it when they heard it, so the palace servants ran to the backyard of Shuiyue Palace.

After Lin Shen helped Zhao Linger up, he asked, "Where is the jade pendant I gave you last night?"

Zhao Linger felt around her body and said, "I didn't bring it with me."

Lin Shen said, "Go back, put on the jade pendant, and find me on the dirt road in front of the pier."

"Okay." So Ling'er ran towards Shuiyue Palace.

At this time, grandma also came over and said, "This is also my fault. I usually don't discipline Ling'er strictly. This time I have brought shame to Shuiyue Palace."

Lin Shen said, "It's not your fault. After all, my master left early, so he can only teach me so little. And without a strict teacher to check on me, I can only figure it out on my own. In fact, I learned this through actual combat. I'm actually worried about two things now."

Lingyue Palace Master asked, "Which two things?"

Lin Shen said, "One is Ling'er, and the other is Li Xiaoyao."

Grandma and Lingyue Palace Master asked, "Why is there still something about Master Li?"

"After all, we only eliminated the Black Miao people who invaded Xianling Island. How would I know if they have any backup plans?"

Grandma said, "You mean, if there are still remnants of the party, they will hold Li Xiaoyao hostage and force Ling'er to surrender."

"It can only be said that there is such a possibility."

The Palace Master of Lingyue said, "What are you going to do, young friend?"

"Now I can only wait and see what happens, but for now I'd better train Ling'er. Her strength is really amazing. Oh, by the way, please prepare some dry food and water. I'll take them away later."

Grandma asked, "Why, are you hungry, little friend?"

Lin Shen rolled his eyes at his grandmother and said, "Forget it. I'm afraid Ling'er will be hungry while I'm training her. Go get some, the two of you. I'll go back to Shuiyue Palace and get it later."

After saying that, Lin Shen walked away using the Moon Step. The two of them were a little accustomed to Lin Shen's behavior, so they returned to Shuiyue Palace to prepare their things.

Lin Shen arrived at the dock. The stone that had been blocking the road was still there. He counted the number of small boats and found that they were all correct, with no missing boats.

I thought to myself: I hope I am overthinking it, but now how to lead to the problem of Zhao Linger and Li Xiaoyao meeting again and letting Li Xiaoyao take Linger back to Miaojiang to find the Witch Queen.

And now the story line seems to have changed. Ling'er is not pregnant with Li Xiaoyao's child. Maybe everything is developing in the right direction. I hope I can really rewrite the ending of the three of them.

Just as Lin Shen was lost in thought, he heard a girl calling him, "Brother Anos, I'm here."
