Chapter 15: Complacent (Part 2)

Self-Satisfied (Part 2)

Without using any internal energy or any cultivation techniques, relying solely on the twisting and dodging of her body to weave through the bamboo forest, she only lightly touched the ground once the momentum of that single spring had been exhausted...

This was the technique of utilizing strength, something that was only slowly realized and mastered when the martial arts of this world reached the fifth stage... Speaking of which, the people of this world were very dedicated, especially those who had achieved success; they were all very hardworking on this path. Unfortunately, their cultivation techniques were too backward...

Walking another hundred steps outward, she saw Yin Yan waiting there.

"Second Young Lady, the Family Head has returned. Everyone is requested to gather at the Rou Courtyard."

Yi'er slightly raised an eyebrow, then turned and began walking slowly toward the courtyard entrance.

Arriving at the Rou Courtyard, she could hear the cheerful voices of Zhu Yuchun and Zhu Yuyan from a distance. Walking to the entrance, she happened to encounter Madam Wu, who looked anxious. When Madam Wu saw her, she gave her a rare smile, though it seemed somewhat forced.

"Second Sister." Luo'er came over along with Madam Wu. Upon seeing her, she walked straight over and took her hand: "Has Second Sister been adjusting well in the Golden Bamboo Courtyard?"

Yi'er's hand lightly dodged away, and she took half a step back. It wasn't that she had an issue with Luo'er, she simply disliked being touched by strangers. In the past, Yan'er also used to love clinging to her! Back then, she only felt a sense of closeness, but now...

Perhaps having grown accustomed to Yi'er's silence, Luo'er did not mind that the two of them walked inside together... Zhu Tingxu had indeed returned. However, the moment Yi'er saw Zhu Tingxu, she immediately realized that after only a few days of not seeing him, he was completely different...

His former aura, which had been as sharp as a blade, had receded significantly; his presence now felt heavy and blunt... It bore a thirty-percent resemblance to that Martial Sovereign, yet it was still different!!

"Luo'er, Yi'er, come here quickly!" Zhu Tingxu was clearly in an excellent mood, his entire being radiant. Right now, let alone seeing his two daughters, he would likely pick up even two strangers and spin them around.

He was simply too happy. Without waiting for his two daughters to walk over slowly, he rushed straight toward them, grabbing one in each hand, tossing them upward simultaneously, and catching them at the same time...

Luo'er immediately burst into excited giggles, but Yi'er frowned slightly. She had intended to dodge, but she realized her speed was simply not enough to avoid him... Even when Zhu Tingxu was still a Martial Master, she couldn't dodge him; now, although her Liangyi Technique had reached the first layer, Zhu Tingxu had already advanced to the thirteenth stage, and she still could not dodge him...
