Chapter 6: Ten-Year-Old Trash (Part 2)

The Ten-Year-Old Loser (Part 2)

Unfortunately, this body's physical fitness was poor. Whether it was the martial arts of this world or her mental strength, she achieved only half the results with twice the effort during cultivation. Although things had begun to slowly improve through her hard work, even so, after three years, her Liangyi Skill was still at the foundational stage, having not even reached the first rank.

Fortunately, she had never lacked patience. Even knowing that the road ahead was full of thorns and bumps, she continued to move forward fearlessly.

"Second Young Lady, it is time for you to rest." The door opened, and her little maid entered to bring warm water and tidy the bedding; that was her entire job here.

Yi'er performed a simple wash, climbed into bed, and tucked herself under the quilt. The little maid blew out the lamp and left.

The whole process took no more than ten minutes.

Once the person had left and the door was tightly shut, Yi'er opened her eyes once more. She glanced outside, turned onto her side, and curled herself up into her favorite posture. With her two white jade breasts pressed close together, she closed her eyes again. However, she was not sleeping, but practicing her cultivation...

Her master once said she was the smartest among the sisters. Her sisters always believed she was the most talented among them, but she would say that she was the most hardworking among them.

People always said that diligence could make up for lack of talent. She was not originally untalented, and combined with her diligence, she naturally gained more than others. But in this life, she had to accept the fact of her lack of talent; at the very least, this body forced her into the ranks of the untalented.

Bringing the habits formed in her previous life to this world, she worked hard even in her sleep. Although the effectiveness was slightly less than practicing during the day or night, it did not affect her sleep, and she did not stop even when others were working hard...

Yi'er slept soundly through the night. No matter how the others in this manor schemed or what they thought, it had little to do with her. Lately, she felt a slight surge of excitement in her heart because she felt that her Liangyi Skill was about to reach a breakthrough point...

At dawn, she rose. It was still that same little maid who brought warm water and breakfast. After washing herself and eating breakfast, Yi'er wandered out of Wu Courtyard on her own, slowly strolling into the nearby Jinzhu Courtyard.

Jinzhu Courtyard was one of the three major courtyards of the Zhu Manor. The other two, Routing Courtyard and Yuyan Courtyard, were located in the south, east, and west directions of the manor, while the north was a large garden. Zhiwu Courtyard and Mei Courtyard were actually annexes of Routing Courtyard and were quite small, but exiting Zhiwu Courtyard placed one very close to Jinzhu Courtyard—only about a hundred steps away.

The reason Jinzhu Courtyard bore this name was simply because a large number of Golden Bamboo were planted within it. Golden Bamboo was a rare item; in the entire Yayu City, it was said that only the Jinzhu Courtyard of the Zhu Manor possessed it. It was rumored that Zhu Tingxu had obtained it after a long journey, and even more was rumored that this Golden Bamboo was the token of love between him and Rou'er...
