He felt a little unsure, but he didn't want to show weakness in front of his junior sister, so he just stood there silently with a blank expression.
Shi Xuan pressed his advantage, continuing, "As a qualified senior brother, you should treat your junior sister with the warmth of spring! Do you understand?"
Lu Shenzhi seemed to be persuaded and stopped, casually sitting on a large rock to the side, lifting his robes, and conceding, "What do you want in return for practicing swordsmanship?"
"Why do you insist that I practice swordsmanship?" Shi Xuan was a little puzzled. He had never heard of someone teaching someone to practice swordsmanship without a word.
Lu Shenzhi leaned back, supporting himself on the stone platform with one hand, and tilted his head slightly. He usually appeared carefree and unrestrained, but Shi Xuan inexplicably felt that he looked somewhat lonely.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" he asked.
Shi Xuan glanced at him.
Lu Shenzhi didn't mind and continued, "The lie is that I'm helping my master teach his disciples to become successful."

He chuckled softly and said, "The truth is, I want you to grow up quickly so you can help me."
"You want me to help you revive?" Shi Xuan asked curiously.

Shi Xuan was very surprised. It turned out that Zhao Cai was indeed a useful spirit pet. Shi Xuan thought it was too small since it was just born, so he never used his divine sense to communicate with it. He never expected that he had underestimated it.
"So, what do you want me to do for you after I practice swordsmanship?"
Lu Shenzhi: "Master always thought that I was unconscious because of poisoning, but that's not the case. I am under a curse. From ten years ago until now, I have been in a state of consciousness but no feeling."
The thought of someone remaining conscious yet unable to control their body for ten years sent a chill down Shi Xuan's spine. It was terrifying! And yet this person could still sit here and speak so calmly. Only now did Shi Xuan finally realize the extraordinary nature of his senior brother. He truly was a remarkable person!
