"Yuan Gege, what did you do before?" Yifei walked up to Zhou Yuan, the technique that the young man used before had taken the girl by surprise.
"A technique that can absorb and reverse the opponent's moves, I just learned it last night." Clearly Zhou Yuan was brief.
Yifei was startled, not expecting any such technique in the martial world.
Zhou Yuan then explained in detail the work of the Reversing Technique he was studying, although Yifei was amazed at it but the girl did not intend to learn it.
Zhou Yuan then requested that Yifei attack him again, although he could already do it Zhou Yuan still had not been said to have mastered it completely.
The stronger one's stance the more difficult Zhou Yuan was to reverse, Zhou Yuan wanted Yifei to attack him more seriously than before.
Yifei could not resist, eventually for the next few days he just attacked Zhou Yuan.
Yifei increased his attack level to the point of having to attack using his white fire technique. Those attacks could finally be restored by Zhou Yuan, the continuously forged practice made him quickly master them.
Zhou Yuan stopped after three days of practice, he was quite satisfied with his mastery of the Reversing Technique.
"Thank you for helping me, Fei'er, is there something you want to ask me?" Zhou Yuan stroked the top of Yifei's head, feeling indebted because Yifei had helped him in his training.
"Can you do something that makes me happy?" Yifei tapped his cheek with his index finger. "For example, like you did a few days ago."
Zhou Yuan frowned, "I don't understand, what made you happy a few days ago?"
Yifei snorted annoyedly seeing Zhou Yuan insensitive but he also felt ashamed to say it directly.
"Like this..." Yifei moved then kissed Zhou Yuan's cheek.
Zhou Yuan finally understood the girl's intentions and smiled awkwardly, he did not expect that Yifei who was embarrassed was actually very happy in his heart. Zhou Yuan then kissed Yifei's cheek back.
"Is it like that?" Ask Zhou Yuan.
Yifei nodded slowly, for once again he immediately hugged Zhou Yuan and drowned his face in the young man's chest to hide his flushed face.
Zhou Yuan only chuckled at his behavior, Yifei who behaved like this looked extremely adorable and cute.

The next day, Zhou Yuan was startled that morning with the news that his younger brother had opened the Dantian Gate.
"Yin'er, you really opened it..." Zhou Yao asked his daughter, his face looking full of excitement.
"Dad I really opened the Dantian Gate, just ask Mom, last night you guided me..." Yuyin pointed at her mother.
Zhou Yao turned to his wife who he immediately answered with a soft nod. "Yin'er has succeeded, my husband."
Zhou Yao's happiness grew even more, as it was too happy he even directly hugged Lin Ruyue and kissed her cheek repeatedly.
"My husband, there are children here." Lin Ruyue blushed in embarrassment, she immediately covered her blushing face with both hands.
Zhou Yuan chuckled at the manner of his parents, his father's happiness was indeed quite understandable because at Yuyin's age, opening the Dantian Gate was something extraordinary to happen.
Opening the Dantian Gate was very difficult to do for their young age, therefore one child should need a guide in the process like Yuyin who was given direction by Lin Ruyue.
Zhou Yuan was arguably the exception, when he was three years old he had opened the dantian gate, this was because he had experience in his first life.
"What do you think Big Brother Yuyin is great, isn't he?" Yuyin approached Zhou Yuan, looking carefree.
Zhou Yuan smiled then stroked his sister's head. "Yuyin is great, Brother is proud to have a very talented sister."
At the age of almost 7 years and has opened the dantian gate arguably a genius swordsman, generally an average person can open the dantian gate at the age of 12 years and above.
Zhou Yuan was happy that Yifei could open the Dantian Gate, at least he could pass down all the sword techniques he learned to his younger brother after the missions were over.
Due to Yuyin's success, Lin Ruyue made a small celebration at her residence, she cooked a sweet meal that was made for her little daughter because Yuyin really liked sweet food.
Happiness seemed to emanate from the Zhou Yuan Family but it did not last long as a few days after Zhou Yuan had to leave his residence to continue his mission again which was to search for the remaining 6 Heavenly Fruits.
The higher-ups of the Zhou Family including Zhou Bing, Father, and mother accompanied Zhou Yuan and Yifei to the gate.
Although Lin Ruyue had been told a few days before but she still cried when the day of the farewell happened.
Zhou Yuan wasn't very long in his residence and it wasn't enough for Lin Ruyue at all, the woman hugged Zhou Yuan fibers while shedding her tears.
There were obvious concerns for Lin Ruyue especially she was afraid that Zhou Yuan would not return again like he used to.
"I'll be back, Mom, whatever it takes... Wherever I go and how I walk, this is where I feel I'm coming home..." Zhou Yuan returned his mother's embrace, wiping away her tears.
It took time for Lin Ruyue to willingly let her son go.
"She's already my wife's great son, with Yuan'er's powers now it's going to be hard to find someone who can kill her." Zhou Yao calmed his wife.
"I know my husband, I'm just worried about Yuan'er..." Lin Ruyue leaned her head on her husband's shoulder.
Zhou Yuan smiled and said that he would give a letter every time to show that he was okay. Each city generally has a mail delivery service, this service maintains a lot of pigeon mail delivery, one has to pay some silver to use this service in each delivery.
Yuyin was the second most reacted after her mother, compared to the sad little girl who actually seemed to sulk at her brother.
"You don't want to convey anything to Big Brother, Yin'er?" Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow, Yuyin threw away her face and did not see her in the slightest.
"Sister doesn't love me, why am I telling you something." Yuyin folded her hands on her chest, reddening her lips.
Zhou Yuan almost laughed, his sister's sulking face looking adorable so Zhou Yuan pinched her cheeks in a fit of anxiety.
"Sister will come back and bring you a lot of sweets, how, you like it, right?"
Yuyin's scruffy face immediately turned bright when it came to sweets, she again stuck out her little finger. "Sister promise?"
Zhou Yuan nodded and returned his little finger. "Yes, I promise you."
"Yuan'er, the martial world is currently in an unstable situation, in addition to the criminal matter and the Heavenly Fruit, the beast race humans have also declared war on the three empires. You better be careful." Zhou Bing reminded.
Zhou Yuan nodded, naturally he found out about the matter of the Human Beast Race intending to fight the three empires together with the Sun Emperor, but at this time he did not focus his mind there because he preferred to take care of urgent matters in advance such as the existence of a Heavenly Fruit.
Yifei chose silence while watching Zhou Yuan say goodbye to his family, the girl did not like this kind of farewell atmosphere.
After talking to his family Zhou Yuan and Yifei finally started to dart into the air. Zhou Yuan looked at his family once more before setting out to continue their delayed mission.
