Chapter 7: Ten-Year-Old Trash (3)

The Ten-Year-Old Loser (Part 3)

Yi'er did not have a very rich imagination; she couldn't conceive of the potential stories hidden within this place. However, she did know that this Golden Bamboo was a precious thing. The aura within the Golden Bamboo Forest was pure and dense; practicing martial arts here yielded results many times better than anywhere else...

Therefore, ever since she discovered this place, she had spent almost every single day here. This was also why Rou'er had made that comment yesterday.

"Second Young Lady, from today onwards, unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter here." Having walked only about ten steps inside, a person suddenly appeared before Yi'er.

Unauthorized personnel?

Yi'er's lips curled slightly into a faint smile. She turned her head to look left and right; aside from the middle-aged woman before her, there was no one else. She took two steps back and said with a beaming smile, "I understand, I'm leaving now." Her eyes blinked slightly. "Now, I'm leaving."

"Yes, the Second Young Lady has already left." The woman's originally shrewd face went blank for a moment, and her voice followed suit, becoming wooden.

Yi'er's lips curled again. "If anyone else comes to the bamboo forest, remember to shout loudly."

"Yes, if someone else comes to the bamboo forest, I will shout loudly."

Very good. This time, the smile at the corners of her mouth lasted a little longer, only fading once she entered the bamboo forest to begin her practice.

…………

Yi'er knew that the Martial Venerable would be very powerful. After all, Zhu Tingxu was already formidable just as a Martial Master—enough to make everyone in Yayu City look up to him in awe. She maintained a basic level of respect for the strong. However, she still did not wish for her life to be disrupted, especially when it came to matters concerning her martial arts cultivation; that was something that could not be disturbed.

Of course, if that Martial Venerable truly arrived, perhaps she would make slight adjustments depending on the situation. Of course, that would only be depending on the situation... But since the person hadn't even arrived yet, she naturally would not allow herself to be affected.

She continued to live her solitary but disciplined life. As someone striving to become a powerhouse, she was not accustomed to her current frailty. Therefore, she had to work harder—extremely hard.

…………

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Yi'er was once again forced to interrupt her trips to the Golden Bamboo Courtyard. She was dressed up early by Madam Wu and carried to the main courtyard to prepare to welcome the Martial Venerable alongside Zhu Tingxu, Madam Rou, and their children.

Arriving with them were also Madam Mei and Luo'er.

Almost everyone was dressed in new finery, even Zhu Yuchun and Zhu Yuyan. It was evident just how much importance they placed on this event.

"Yi'er, Luo'er, you all play in the side hall with Tingchun and Yuyan!!" As soon as the adults sat down, Rou'er spoke up immediately in a gentle tone, her voice soft and pleasant to the ear.
