"I'm back."

Chu Yunyun's voice was as clear as a warbler's, and her skin was so white that it had no blood color. She seemed to be afraid of light. She raised her hand to cover her face and slowly stepped into the house from the sunlight.

The girl is about the same age as Chu Xisheng, with a standard oval face and willow eyebrows. She looks very weak, but her eyebrows contain a touch of heroic spirit. Her black hair is simply pulled behind her back by a red rope, even though she is dressed plainly.

The extremely white cloth skirt cannot hide its pure appearance.

Chu Xisheng looked at the girl in front of him, but his eyes were a little dazed.

His time-travel experience should be the most bizarre among all time-travelers.

So much so that when he thinks about it now, it feels absurd, like in a dream.

Three months ago, when Chu Xisheng woke up in this world, he was buried with this girl in a luxurious royal mausoleum.

The two of them were resurrected from the dead with the help of strange spells, and returned to the human world. Together they remained anonymous and temporarily settled in Xiushui City.

Neither of them wanted to admit to the absurd ghost marriage that was manipulated by others, and they were bound by life and death due to the spell, so they called themselves brother and sister for the time being.

The whole process is simply more magical than the story in "Arabian Nights".

After Chu Yunyun came in, she straightened the door curtain first to block all the sunlight coming through the crack in the door before turning around.

She saw Chu Xisheng leaning at the door of the kitchen, looking here fixedly, her cheeks turned red, her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked away uncomfortably: "Are you steaming fish? I can smell the fish fragrance from a distance.

.You are so willing today because you got a spot in the inner sect of the martial arts school?"

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." After Chu Xisheng came back to his senses, his eyes were slightly embarrassed. He took out his newly obtained inner door talisman from his pocket and threw it away.

The talisman is made of wood, with Chu Xisheng's name written on it, the edge is inlaid with copper, and several unique runes are engraved on it.

He smiled bitterly and put the chopped firewood into the stove: "Just for this thing, we worked hard for three months, and we still owe a favor."

There was a hint of joy in Chu Yunyun's eyes, and she said calmly: "There is no way, this is the fastest way for you to enter the inner sect. Your understanding is only slightly stronger than ordinary people. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least half a year to fully practice it.

Chasing the Wind Knife. Whether you can pass it after half a year depends on the mood of the invigilator."

She glanced at the talisman and then looked slightly stunned: "Why are there silver leaves on it?"

Just below Chu Xisheng's name, there is a silver bamboo leaf engraved.

This is a symbol of Zhengyang Martial Arts School, which represents the status of inner disciples.

The inner disciples of the martial arts school range from Wuye to Sanye.

The more leaves, the higher the status, and the closer it is to the true inheritance.

They can have better teachers, better treatment, and better resources in the martial arts gym.

Disciples who have just passed the martial arts test are generally Wuye. Only young people under the age of fourteen who rank among the top in the inner martial arts test in terms of performance and talent can become a Yiye disciple.

"It's a long story, you go wash your hands first." Chu Xisheng opened the lid of the pot, and as white steam steamed, a rich fragrance instantly filled the whole house.

Chu Yunyun's eyes were also attracted. When she saw the steaming seabass in the pot, her throat bulged slightly and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

A moment later, the brother and sister sat face to face in front of a square table. There were two dishes on the table, one was seabass and the other was boiled water spinach.

Chu Yunyun sat like a javelin, with her back straight. She held the bowl, and every time she moved her chopsticks or raised her hand, she held the law in her mouth, in an orderly and graceful manner.

Chu Xisheng didn't follow the rules of eating and sleeping, and talked about her morning's experience while eating.

When there were only bones left of the seabass in the plate, Chu Yunyun raised her eyelids.

"Awakening of the bloodline before a battle? This kind of thing does happen often. But the second son of the Long family is also skilled in sharp swords. You can use quickness to control quickness and cut off his hand before he draws the sword. This bloodline talent is quite impressive.

.If I guess correctly, what you awakened should be the hand of chasing wind and lightning, which is the most suitable talent for practicing the wind chasing knife!"

There was some interest in her eyes, and she put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Now try to chop me with a knife."

Chu Xisheng was a little helpless, but he still pulled out the knife from his waist without hesitation.

It was still the "wind out of nowhere" drawing style in the Zhui Feng sword technique, and the light of the sword slashed towards Chu Yunyun's throat like a white sword.

Because he had changed to a 'hundred-refined light steel knife', he felt that his knife speed was 20% faster than in the morning.

But then, he saw Chu Yunyun on the opposite side stretched out two fingers and pinched his knife gently.

Those fingers were green and tender, but their strength was like iron pliers, making it difficult for him to move the knife.

Chu Xisheng was not surprised at all, because the woman opposite him had a great background.

If Chu Yunyun hadn't been severely injured, riddled with curses, her true energy was blocked, and her martial arts was almost completely disabled, she would still be one of the top figures in the entire Daning Dynasty.

"It's really fast!"

Chu Yunyun's eyes were bright: "I am more confident now! Your current talent, coupled with the things hidden in Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, can allow you to enter the Wuxiang Divine Sect in the shortest possible time."

Her pair of pale blue eyes are calm and clear, containing an indescribable look that seems to last forever.

Chu Xisheng listened thoughtfully. He had always known that the identity of this 'inner disciple' was just the beginning.

Chu Yunyun's idea is to get everything back step by step starting from Zhengyang Martial Arts School.

His purpose is to survive and live freely in this world.

"——Tomorrow is very critical. According to the practice of Zhengyang Martial Arts School, all newly promoted inner disciples must enter the Martial Arts School's "Sutra Collection Building" for two days to study the martial arts classics and select the martial arts inheritance for future practice.

After you enter the building, first memorize the visualization diagram and secret medicine of Yangyuan Gong, then go to the east corner of the sixth floor of the Sutra Collection Building and find the totem with the fierce beast 'Yai Can' on it. Memorize as many as you can.

Just remember as many as you can.”

Chu Yunyun's face was solemn: "This is your only chance before your cultivation reaches the seventh level. The inner disciples of your martial arts school are not qualified to enter the sixth floor of the Sutra Collection Building. Only the rules on the first day of entry are different. Wu Xiang

Shenzong has always had a tradition of testing disciples’ opportunities, and will open the first to sixth floors of the Sutra Collection Building to you on the first day, so you must seize it.”

Chu Xisheng couldn't help but be curious: "Why do you need to memorize this picture of Yaizhan? What is unusual about this picture?"

"I will tell you the reason later."

Chu Yunyun's expression was extremely serious: "Remember, you must write down that picture. It is very important to you and me, a matter of life and death! Don't worry about other martial arts inheritance in the building. All the Wuxiang Shenzong's

I know all the ten arts and can teach you."

Chu Xisheng could only suppress the doubts in her heart.

When it comes to martial arts, Chu Yunyun is the authority, and you are right to listen to her.

The relationship between the two was not equal, and no matter what Chu Yunyun said, he could only listen.

But he believed in Chu Yunyun.

If this person wanted to harm him, he had at least a thousand ways to do it, and he couldn't guard against it even if he wanted to.

At least now, they are on the same boat, dependent on each other for life and death, and their relationship is closer than that of biological brothers and sisters. After all, they have slept together in the same coffin.

Chu Yunyun wanted to say something else, but found that Chu Xisheng had also dropped her chopsticks.

Chu Yunyun hurriedly got up and put away the dishes: "I will wash the dishes today."

Her eyes were solemn and her movements were cautious, as if she was holding some peerless treasure.

But just as she was taking the dishes to the kitchen, a pottery bowl in her hand broke into pieces with a 'click', and the pieces scattered all over the floor.

Chu Xi watched this scene speechlessly.

His cheap sister once had martial arts attainments that topped the seven states in the Northern Territory of Daning. However, due to injuries and the poisonous curse in her body, only her physical fitness remained.

And whenever she is nervous, she can't control her strength, and every time she does housework, she will make a mess.

Chu Xi sighed and went to the corner of the room to get a broom: "I'll do it. Just sit still. The price of pottery has increased recently. A bowl costs sixty cents."

Chu Yunyun was a little annoyed, with unwillingness in her eyes, but she had to step aside as she was told.

She thought that it was not good for her to do this and watch, so she had to help, so she turned around to get her own gift.

"Do you want to wash clothes?" Chu Xisheng seemed to be frightened. He raised his head and stared at Chu Yunyun warily: "In the past three months, you have washed clothes three times, but nine pieces were broken. Go and wash them.

Just put the changes of clothes you brought back into the bucket, and I will help you wash them when we move to the martial arts studio later."

He sighed as he swept the floor.

Who would have thought? He, Chu Xisheng, was a department manager of a well-established listed company, but now he has become a househusband.

"I want to try again," Chu Yunyun bit her lip with her teeth, and clasped her hands together in an extremely awkward manner, with the blush on her face spreading to the back of her neck.

Among those changes of clothes were her intimate clothes.

Then her expression moved slightly and she noticed Chu Xisheng's last sentence: "Moving to a martial arts gym? Why move? It's good to live here."

"The monthly rent here is five taels of magic silver, which is enough to buy two bottles of Yanghe Powder."

Chu Xisheng shook his head: "Ye Zhiqiu gave us the key to the utility yard in the east courtyard and said that there are two vacant rooms there. There is also an open space in the backyard over there for me to practice martial arts. After we go there, you can help me

Adjust the posture of taking out the knife, I felt a little uncomfortable when I took out the knife in the morning."

Ye Zhiqiu always thought that he had a very good understanding and was far superior to ordinary people.

Little did he know that there was a martial arts master teaching him beside him, teaching him the most profound secrets of martial arts and the most fundamental essence of sword techniques.

Chu Yunyun's eyes brightened slightly, and she felt that she was not so useless anymore.
