“Junior Sister, I didn’t dare tell you… there’s another me inside me… He has a bad temper and sometimes does outrageous things at night, but he just came out a couple of days ago, and I… I didn’t expect him to come out again so soon…” He was already trying to resist that ‘him’ from coming out and doing bad things: “I’m sorry, Junior Sister, it’s my fault for not telling you beforehand, and letting him hurt you…”
Tian Ning shook his head and said seriously, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, he's so weak he can't hurt me."
They could only bully her in those weak and pitiful stories.
Fu Hongming: ?
Fu Hongming felt that his junior sister was trying to comfort him. The other "him" had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, which was something that the little girl in front of him could not handle at all.
Thinking of how his junior sister pretended to be strong to comfort him, Fu Hongming's eyes reddened. What a good girl!
He must work hard to enhance his cultivation and restrain the restless other 'him' within him.
"Junior Sister, although our Sword Guardian Mountain is in decline and not as good as before, and even our Master is lying there... but your senior brother will definitely teach you well! He will never let you be worse than others in cultivating your sword!" Fu Hongming secretly vowed that he would take good care of this kind-hearted junior sister who was a little slow-witted.
Little did he know, the other "him" inside him was practically rolling his eyes to the heavens!
This seemingly harmless girl killed a Nascent Soul cultivator with a single punch last night...
Fu Hongming, disregarding his own pain, ran to the items left by his master and found a bunch of secret sword cultivation techniques, carrying them all to Tianning's courtyard.
"Junior Sister!" Fu Hongming said to Tian Ning, "Choose one, and your senior brother will first teach you how to cultivate internal energy, and then practice swordsmanship with you."
Tianning rested his chin on his hand and used a dry leaf as a bookmark to tuck it into his storybook: "Senior Brother, I'm very strong! I've already reached the seventh level of Qi Chain, and I know many sword techniques. I don't need to practice anymore."
It wasn't that she didn't want to practice; it was just that she was sick of practicing for the first fifteen years.
The old man seemed to have anticipated that she would come to the world of cultivation. He made her learn a few skills in every area, not just swordsmanship, talisman drawing, and alchemy. It was like taking the college entrance examination. She had to master every subject and strive for excellence. If she didn't pass, she had to practice even harder.
Under that kind of grueling training, Tianning actually vomited.
Having finally left home, which was like taking the college entrance exam and welcoming a better life, she didn't want to continue endless practice... Tianning just wanted to be engrossed in her storybook.
Occasionally, it's good to balance work and rest. When you're tired of reading stories, it's nice to practice alchemy or draw talismans in your spare time.
"But, junior sister..."
Before Fu Hongming could say anything more, Tian Ning snatched a sword manual into his arms.
"Senior Brother, this is for you as a return gift."
Fu Hongming opened the document with some skepticism, but his eyes lit up instantly.
"Junior Sister, are you really going to give this to me!?"
"Okay, senior brother, keep it up. I'll check your skills once you've mastered them." After being the old man's grandson for fifteen years, Tian Ning suddenly had a whimsical idea: he wanted to experience being a teacher for a while.
Fu Hongming was surprised: "Junior Sister, you know how to use a knife?"
"I know a little bit," Tian Ning said with a smile.
But Fu Hongming soon realized that this so-called "knowing a little bit" was no different from her knowing 99 out of 100 on a test...
Just as he was about to practice, his hand holding the knife suddenly went empty.
"Strange, where's my knife?"
Tianning: "..."
I couldn't resist last night and broke it in two.
At night, another Fu Hongming appeared, sneaking into his master's courtyard.
He wants to kill that old bastard and disband the Sword Guardian Mountain as soon as possible!
He used to think this place was just a bunch of sick, useless people gathering together, an eyesore. Now that a little monster who's a cut above him has arrived, his mentality is about to collapse! Just thinking about that terrifying fist, he can't stay in this lousy sect for even a day longer!
"Senior Brother~" A melodious voice echoed softly.
Fu Hongming shivered, feeling inexplicably frightened.
"Junior Sister... why are you still out so late?" In the past, when Fu Hongming appeared at night, he always acted like he was the most powerful person. But now he patiently pretended to be the idiot he was during the day, using all his tricks to coax the little girl: "Junior Sister, you are still young. Go to sleep quickly, or you won't grow tall!"
Who knows why cultivators don't grow taller if they don't sleep? Anyway, that's how he heard other people coax children.
Tianning stared at him: "You wouldn't happen to be the bad senior brother from tonight, would you?"
Adding a word in front of it means that Tianning distinguishes between two personalities.
"How...how could this be..." His hair stood on end, every pore of his body desperately denying it.
"Why is the eldest senior brother standing at the master's door so late at night?"
"Having nothing to do, I went out to admire the moon..."
The two looked up at the pitch-black sky; there was neither moon nor stars in sight.
"..."
Fu Hongming couldn't take it anymore: "Junior Sister! What are you trying to do so late at night?!"
"It's nothing, I just got tired of reading storybooks and came out for a walk." Tianning twisted his neck, which was a little sore.
"Since it's such a coincidence, why don't you show me the results of your practice during the day, Senior Brother? I'll take a look and see what shortcomings there are." Anyway, we're just killing time.
Fu Hongming sneered, "A mere Qi Chain Instructor guiding a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
"Little girl, you're a liar! I'll see what you're capable of!"
Fu Hongming at night actually retains his daytime memories, which can be seen from the fact that he called Tianning "Junior Sister" when they first met.
He also admitted that the sword manual Tianning gave him was indeed a good thing. Even with his Nascent Soul cultivation, he couldn't fully understand its contents. He acknowledged that his junior sister was a powerful, monstrous little girl, but when it came to swords... he didn't believe that the little girl could be that powerful.
“Okay, let’s give it a try.” Fu Hongming became interested.
He demonstrated the moves from the sword manual to Tian Ning one by one, laughing as he did so, asking, "Can this little girl even understand them?"
"Senior Brother! Straighten your back! Your hand posture is wrong, haven't you noticed? The focus of a move isn't on looking cool; a swordsman's aura must be more imposing. Where's your soft, showy demeanor?..."
She somehow found a tree branch and sternly corrected his mistake.
"No! Do it again!"
Fu Hongming: "..."
Is she... sick?
Who would be so bored and give someone a knife lesson in the middle of the night?!
He tried to fight back, but he couldn't win...
For several days in a row, Long Aotian felt strange that his senior brother, who often committed evil deeds at night, had become unusually quiet.
