I'm really not an old sword

Could it be that he discovered my identity and came to kill me while I was weak?

A hint of horror flashed across Lin Qingsu's eyes, but she pretended to be calm and tried to appear as natural as possible as she continued to move forward.

There was also a young man in black with Leif.

The two of them were chatting, both smiling, and didn't seem to notice Lin Qingsu, passing him by.

Just as Lin Qingsu breathed a sigh of relief, Leif's surprised voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Qingsu froze in place. There were only three of them in the corridor at that moment, so it went without saying that the voice was directed at him.

Thinking quickly in his mind, Lin Qingsu finally came to the conclusion that drawing the sword and slashing or just running away would both be courting death. Without the blessing of the "Old Sword" template, he was still in the growth stage of "Dragon Heart", and he would be dead if he faced Leif.

Lin Qingsu looked around and found no one. She turned around and looked at Leif blankly: "Is there something wrong?"

"May I have your name?"

It's urgent. What should you do if a stranger suddenly stops you on the train and asks your name?!

Lin Qingsu's mind is very empty now.

After thinking for a while, he asked with a hint of caution: "Who are you?"

"Forgot I introduced myself."

"Lev Lenore Flauros, once a student of the Clock Tower, now traveling around, color position."

The strength he showed in the Clock Tower was "Sacrificial Position".

He was at the fourth level, but even so, he was still called a child prodigy at the time.

Although not much time had passed, looking at the young man in front of him, Leif felt that he should raise his rank a little.

"Rafe? I think I've heard of you."

Lin Qingsu suddenly realized something and stretched out her hand to shake hands with him.

Fortunately, despite his indulgence in sexual activities, he was in good health and there were no beads of sweat on his palms.

Leif didn't seem to notice his abnormality. He chatted with him for a few words and then got straight to the point.

"Will you be my student?"

No, what kind of weird development is this?

Lin Qingsu was confused.

He could confirm that Leif had not discovered his identity. If he knew that he was Old Sword, he would not have wasted so much time talking to him.

But this made it even more unbelievable for him. Given Leif's personality, he would actually take the initiative to accept someone as his apprentice. Isn't it said that he has no human emotions?

However, in addition to being shocked, Lin Qingsu also considered how she should react.

Lin Qingsu struggled to think of a natural way to refuse the invitation, considering the "prodigy Leif's name is still circulating in the Clock Tower" and the "invitation to be a disciple from someone who is already a color magician before the age of thirty."

"Sorry, I'm not really interested in magic."

"Don't think about it again?"

"My mother is acquainted with the monarch of the Astronomy Department. To be honest, his daughter, Olga Marie, is my fiancée. If I had wanted to, I could have become his apprentice long ago. However, I'm not interested in magic. I just want to live a wealthy life. I appreciate your kindness."

Leif looked at him for a long time without saying anything.

Lin Qingsu suddenly felt that the other party seemed very disappointed?

Leif's eyes were narrowed too much, and Lin Qingsu didn't dare to confirm whether her feeling was right. Just when she was about to take a closer look at his expression, the door at the end of the corridor opened.

"Mr. Rafe?"

A cold and mature female voice filled with surprise sounded behind Lin Qingsu.

"I didn't expect you to be here."

"Trisha? Aren't you with Olga Marie?"

"My lady has something to come here for."

Trisha said as she walked over to Lin Qingsu. "Mr. Leif, what do you want to talk to Mr. Lin about? I have something I want to talk to him about alone. I wonder if you two are free."

"he is?"

"He's our young lady's fiancé," Trisha whispered. "Our young lady is on this train for him."

After hearing this, Leif stopped talking and just glanced at Lin Qingsu. The familiar feeling of disappointment lingered in Lin Qingsu's heart again.

Without saying anything, Leif said "goodbye" and turned to leave.

"I didn't expect you to be interested in people."

As they walked to the next carriage, the young man in black couldn't help but laugh: "I thought you thought humanity was hopeless."

“He’s got great talent.”

"Oh, how good is that?" The young man in black became more and more curious. You know, although this man looks kind and always smiling, he actually looks down on everyone.

"Given time, he might be able to kill the heroic spirit you've been thinking about with his own hands."

The young man's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced back at the locked door out of the corner of his eye, then smiled at Leif.

"Isn't he also the heroic spirit you've been thinking about?"

......

When he arrived at his room, the young man in black sat quietly on the sofa and looked at his phone.

After a while, a file came to his phone. He opened the file, browsed the contents quietly, and then made a call with a smile.

"Moshi Moshi~ What do you want from me~?"

A lively girl's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I spotted an interesting boy on the train."

"Tsk, boring, fine, I'm hanging up."

The young man in black was not in a hurry. He knew that she was only interested in the 'King of Knights' and the 'Saint' right now, but he knew how to make her interested.

"Leif wants to take him as his apprentice."

"So...Huh? Huh! Huh?! Did I hear that correctly? That aloof Leif actually wants to take someone as his apprentice?!" The girl's voice turned from boredom to surprise in an instant: "Hurry, tell me about him!"

"If you want to know about him, then come to the train now."

The young man in black smiled and said the other person's name.

"Francesca Prelati."

Having said that, he hung up the phone without paying attention to the dissatisfied shouts from the other end, and lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling quietly.

"Can a human body rival a heroic spirit?"

"Tsk, I'm being looked down upon, Knight King. You better fight for me. After all, I've been missing you since thirteen years ago."

"But it's really getting more and more interesting."

"If we add him, I really don't know what kind of grand event it will become? Hehehehahahahahaha!"

......

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. The monarch warned me to be careful of Mr. Leif, so I used the excuse of needing to see you to help me."

After taking Lin Qingsu to the restaurant on the train, Trisha lowered her head slightly.

Listening to Trisha's words, Lin Qingsu's expression was complicated. He reminded Maris Billy only because he had nothing to do. After all, even if he told him, if Rafe really wanted to do something, Maris Billy probably wouldn't be able to do anything, and he would have to do it in the end.

But he didn't expect that a casual remark would actually help him out today.

"It's okay, I think he has a problem too."

Lin Qingsu shook her head with lingering fear.

To be honest, even though he almost died at the hands of Matou Sakura before, he didn't feel it was one percent as dangerous as today.

But when he saw Leif today, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart, and he wanted more urgently than ever to enter the simulated combat training space to find Miyamoto Musashi to practice swordsmanship and improve himself.

After having dessert with Trisha and chatting for a while, we both went back to our rooms when it was almost time.

"Trisha, what should I do?!"

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Trisha saw her eldest daughter pacing anxiously in the room.

Trisha knew her eldest daughter's personality well and she had always had little patience.

There has been no progress in the past few days, and instead he wastes time with Sajo Ayaka every day, which has made the eldest daughter feel a sense of crisis.

"He seems to be avoiding me all the time, as if he really dislikes me!"

"so annoying!"

"Why does he look down on me? What's wrong with me?! I really..."

Olga Marie became increasingly annoyed as she spoke, and kept stamping her feet.

"I just met with him."

"what?"

Trisha carefully recounted to Olga Marie what had just happened.

"You mean Leif thinks highly of him?"

"Not only that, but my demonic eye becomes blurry when I'm with him."

"How can it be?!"

Trisha's Mystic Eyes are "Future Vision", and over the years, I've almost never made a mistake around her.

The possibility of failure is only when facing a magician with strength greater than hers, or an imaginary magician of similar strength, but Lin Qingsu, at least in her understanding, definitely does not meet the above points.

The anger gradually dissipated, and Olga Marie thought of her father's instructions again, and her brows furrowed.

These days she thought his adoptive mother was very powerful.

But now, after listening to Trisha's words and thinking carefully, she realized that as her father's only daughter, and her father having no plans to have a second child, it was impossible for him to let her marry a person with extremely poor qualifications just to win over Lin Qingsu's mother, thus polluting the bloodline of the Animusphia family.

After all, her father had promised that if she married Lin Qingsu, she would be the next head of the family.

If Lin Qingsu's magic circuits were truly of the lowest quality and quantity, what would become of the next generation of the Animusphia family? Purifying blood requires hundreds or even thousands of years of effort, but contaminating it only takes one generation.

The Animusphia family is likely to fall into desolation because of this.

"Isn't he as simple as he seems?"

Seeing Olga Marie's wild thoughts, Trisha raised the corner of her mouth slightly, but quickly restrained it and returned to her calm expression.

"I think so."

Although she wanted the young lady to swallow her pride and take the initiative, Trisha didn't lie.

In her opinion, all these abnormal points are concentrated in one person, which undoubtedly means that this person is definitely abnormal.

"That..."

"Miss, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."

"What can't be said between us?" Olga Marie said nonchalantly, "Just say it directly."

Trisha said, "I knew he was involved with those women before, and I thought he was a playboy. You want to cancel the engagement, right?"

“Now I hate that about him too.”

"So now you need to seize this opportunity and take him down."

"Huh?" Olga Marie was confused.

"According to intelligence analysis, he and Tousaka Rin, Matou Sakura, and Linglongkan Misayo only recently met. Within a few months, they suddenly developed to the point where they can now spend the night together. And now it seems that you have a new enemy, Sajo Ayaka. Not only that, from my observations over the past few days, the mother of Linglongkan seems to be very close to him as well."

Olga Marie was shocked: "You mean...?!"

"Yes, I'm 90% sure that if Lin Qingsu asks, she will be happy to accompany him."

"But isn't her daughter his woman?!" Olga Marie was completely confused: "Didn't the intelligence say that he often stayed over at her house at night in the past few months?!"

"I don't know, but Linglong Pavilion Qingyue is already a married woman and the head of the family. It's impossible for her to be in love."

Olga Marie pondered for a long time, and she understood the meaning of Trisha's words.
