The Naughty Senior Sister
Recalling the Genuine Nature of Jiang Nalan - 3

The next morning, Yan Xu woke up early and did some warm-ups such as practicing the entire bare-handed martial arts movement as well as the foundation of sword science.

The difference this time was that he strengthened his physique continuously with qi energy, without any pause. Making his practice time longer than before mastering the Qi Gong method.

During the warm-up, Yan Xu also thought about how he could receive the qi energy continuously despite doing nothing. His thoughts were quick to respond, immediately answering the question.

"I've mastered the Qi Gong method, therefore I don't need to do anything as long as it's connected to nature."

The answer came out of his own mouth, although there was still a sense of disbelief and discomfort with the fact that he had already omitted the book his teacher had given him.

Putting aside those worries, after all he would definitely be beaten up. Yan Xu was more concerned with how to reduce the pain he would suffer in the future due to the harsh blows from his teacher.

He continued to strengthen his physical abilities, exceeding the normal limits of a late stage cultivator's condensing qi.

Recently, Yan Xu's realm improved greatly after his last nightmare. His run instantly surged to the final stage of condensing qi, it seemed like he was also ready to break through to the next realm— of foundation formation.

After half a month, Yan Xu finally reached the peak of the qi condensing realm while patiently following every hard training and always making use of the right moment to always apply the parasitic code to his teacher.

Now, he was going on vacation for a while as it had to be an urgent feeling that tried to push Yan Xu into breaking through to the realm of foundation formation immediately. However, he ignored the urge because he felt there was still less before making a breakthrough.

"The less are the times when I have to go somewhere and make some memories while still at the peak of the qi condensation."

Yan Xu set his mind and tried to find a way out for the problem before making a breakthrough, which was actually very insignificant and only as a satisfaction of his twisted secondary needs.

The twisted secondary need of this free man named Yan Xu was to refuse to be the main lead in life, trying to do something in the shadows without having to accept the award for his good deeds.

Rather than rewards, most of Yan Xu's actions were better off receiving punishment for acting too freely without following the rules of any existing territory.

Because of such free thinking regardless of the law, this man is very much looking forward to the day that he can act to satisfy his secondary needs that are not important.

Although his thoughts had pervaded everywhere, Yan Xu still kept moving his body in order and according to the bare-handed martial arts he had learned through Lan Xihe as well as some books in the top library.

Starting from installing sturdy horses, doing straight punches and swoops, defensive displays are also counterattacks and lastly, the last one is, performing martial arts from Earth are similar and very difficult to demonstrate without the help of strengthening the body.

With his excellent control in manipulating qi energy, Yan Xu could already be said to be an expert. Only, the power of the realm he currently possessed still did not support his techniques that had been polished to such an extent— despite the few he had trained in secret.

An hour passed without feeling, as well as Yan Xu who was warming non-stop it finally stopped.

From the other side, Miao'er came out in a thin, fine-dressed outfit that could reveal some of her white skin and a sleek, wet and very charming body shape. In fact, he deliberately pretended to be unconscious while walking out after a shower to see the funny reaction of his senior brother.

Contrary to Miao'er's expectations, Yan Xu only glanced at him once and again calmed the flow of qi at his dantian by meditating, as if nothing interesting could disturb his peace of mind.

Miao'er clicked his tongue, returning to the hut with a grim face while muttering in a small voice, "Tch! Am I any less attractive in Senior Brother's eyes?!"

Sensing no more presence from his junior sister, Yan Xu glanced slightly towards Miao'er's hut while making sure the little girl was not watching him.

After making sure there was not the slightest hint of surveillance from his junior sister's hut, Yan Xu opened both of his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Haaah~ ... thankfully he wasn't angry because I had a glance at him."

With that long sigh, Yan Xu threw away his worry for fear that Miao'er would get angry. Accustomed to living in an environment where women were more numerous than men, Yan Xu became more vigilant when it came to events like this.

Even so, he still had a glance even if only a glance. The memory was still stored and could not be erased at all, making the flow of qi on Yan Xu's dantian unstable. That was why he had to immediately stabilize his qi flow.

...

After a while later, Miao'er returned wearing her beautiful vestments.

He walked leisurely toward Yan Xu as if nothing had ever happened.

"Senior sister, what are you doing?" miao'er asked with her usual tinge of cherry.

Yan Xu who was still sitting cross-legged smiled warmly towards his junior sister as he replied gently, "I'm resting after doing some warm-ups."

"Heating? Did all cultivators need that in this blind morning?" Ignoring the sweaty Yan Xu, Miao'er sat next to him at a very close distance.

Yan Xu shrugged both of his shoulders, "Come, but to me this is very important. Especially when I've found an extraordinary enlightenment."

Listening to the word enlightenment, Miao'er's eyes began to sparkle and immediately showed his interest.

He held onto Yan Xu's arms with both of his slender hands as he pleaded, "Senior Brother, please share that enlightenment as well to Junior Sister!"

"Hmmm ...."

From that very close distance, Yan Xu was able to feel the fragrant scent of Miao'er's body that had just finished bathing. It made her feel a little uneasy as her junior sister started to get closer without any sense of alert when they were both.

Especially today, Miao'er was much more attached to her than the days before. Yan Xu was a little worried and confused because he thought that all this time, he had been overindulging his junior sister. Fearing, Miao'er will have the attachment to not being able to be independent and make trouble when he is not near her.

Although he looked unconcerned, Yan Xu still cared about his junior sister and teacher. Only, he never showed his concern directly and only through action.

Seeing the troubled expression on Yan Xu's face, Miao'er smiled mischievously. He hugged Yan Xu's wrist and clung tightly as if he didn't want to let go.

"A-younger Junior .. This is inappropriate ...."

Yan Xu tried to keep Miao'er away by persuading her to use immoral sentences, yet the girl still insisted on not letting go of her hand while smiling sweetly.

Having no other choice, Yan Xu used a little physical reinforcement on the arm that was embraced by Miao'er. When he tried to move it, Yan Xu's arm was unable to move even the slightest bit.

'Don't say this little girl ....'

Yan Xu began to suspect that Miao'er had mastered physical reinforcement just as he had.

Yan Xu's suspicions proved to be true as an extremely beautiful light green aura emanated around Miao'er's body, in other words he was using qi energy to strengthen his physique.

Not wanting to be rude, Yan Xu still persuaded Miao'er patiently and subtly, "Young Sister, your senior brother wants to continue his training, can you let go?"

The corner of Miao'er's mouth swooped sharply upwards, "No want."

Seeing that the little girl could not be persuaded, Yan Xu brought his face closer to Miao'er until the tip of their nose and forehead met each other. From now on, he would persuade her with determination in order to save the remaining time, before their teacher came out and started beating her up.

"Take it off."

"...."

Miao'er's outer appearance was still undaunted, yet in his heart he had already shouted as loudly as possible because their faces were too close.

Too bad his reddened face betrayed Miao'er's composure, signifying his defeat. He let out a short sigh while releasing his senior brother's arm reluctantly, then took a little distance.

Outside he could feel defeat, yet in his heart Miao'er felt victory out of what part he had won. Of course it would not have the slightest effect on her innocent facial expression on the outside.

The air around them became somewhat awkward, it was difficult for the two of them to start talking about anything else. They just fell silent and sometimes glanced at each other at a glance, without a word coming out of their respective mouths.

...

Lan Xihe who appeared suddenly from behind them broke the awkward atmosphere, "Oh, it's not usual for these two brothers to look very quiet."

He embraced Yan Xu and Miao'er on each side from behind, bringing them closer to his embrace gently.

Yan Xu who was used to Lan Xihe's attitude only let out a small sigh and smiled lightly, "Teachers think too much, we're just doing our respective exercises. Right, Junior Brother?"

Miao'er who gained his composure immediately followed Yan Xu's direction, "Right. It was just Master's thinking that we were a bit quiet."

Lan Xihe smiled mischievously, yet did not continue her flirtation with the two crafty disciples. He still maintained the position of the three of them close by and started his morning welcome.

"Yes, yes, Master thinks too much because you are too cunning. Whatever it is, good morning my students."

The two smiled at each other softly as they replied, "Good morning too, Teacher."

Sensing how harmonious the relationship between the three of them was, Lan Xihe's morning was filled with warmth in her heart that had been aloof for too long.

He felt very grateful for being able to feel a blessing where he did not need to live alone anymore, even though the people who lived with him had a crooked nature with his cunning— of course Lan Xihe himself was unconscious, some of those crooked traits were passed down from his moral teachings.

Lan Xihe released her embrace towards the two disciples and moved to the middle, between Yan Xu and Miao'er. The two students did not care much because they had been treated this way every day, even sometimes they enjoyed a short moment together this morning.

Lan Xihe crossed her arms while saying, "I feel confused as to what material should be taught to the two of you."

"Evaluation of your learning process actually has the same level. It was just that Miao'er's speed in mastering knowledge, had already matched Yan Xu's comprehension speed on every teaching material."

"What does that mean, Master?" asked the two disciples while staring confusedly at Lan Xihe.

"In other words, the teaching material to the two of you is actually the same and has no difference at all. As Yan Xu had learned body strengthening using qi energy control, Miao'er had also managed to do so."

"W-what?! Teacher, isn't that dangerous for Junior Sister as she still hasn't entered the realm of condensing qi?!" yan Xu protested loudly because he was really worried that it would hurt Miao'er.

Lan Xihe was a little stunned that seeing Yan Xu being able to worry about others, she thought that the bratty disciple would not care about his fellow man. Seeing how Yan Xu was behaving, Lan Xihe's concern over her still-unopened personality diminished a little.

Lan Xihe shook her head gently as she said, "I told you, that outdated ancient literacy can only be used as a reference. However, you must not make it a benchmark that will limit your actions."

"Following with the wise will indeed make your life safer, but you will never develop better by always standing in a safe zone. I did teach you to be careful, but ...."

Lan Xihe pointed to Yan Xu's nose using her slender index finger, giving the code for her mischievous disciple to continue his sentence.

Yan Xu who understood, immediately continued, "Teacher never taught us to be cowardly and avoid the challenge of forging ourselves."

"Right, perfect value for you, " Lan Xihe said as she clapped her hands with a big smile on her pretty face.

Yan Xu who saw the beautiful smile of his teacher immediately averted his gaze, he felt his heart almost bewitched something taboo just by looking at that smile for longer.

Miao'er just kept silent without answering, it seemed like he was feeling jealous because only with the smile of their teacher could make his senior brother blush in shame, thus turning his eyes away.

Seeing the silent reactions of the two disciples, Lan Xihe laughed lightly, "You guys ..."

Lan Xihe embraced the two this time, brought the three of them closer in face then said, "If you guys have a problem, don't hesitate to say it in front of the person. Here, we are a family living in the same place. Teachers will feel sad if you fight with each other or don't get along with each other."

Seeing Lan Xihe's gentle expression, the two pondered at each other's actions, especially the overly aggressive Miao'er without a second thought.

Strengthening his resolve, Miao'er gulped loudly and said, "Senior sister, didn't you blush when you saw me coming out with a thin cloth?"

"Eh?"

"Absolutely indecent question!"

Lan Xihe as the mediator was also Yan Xu who actually did not know what his junior sister was thinking, was equally surprised.

Lan Xihe immediately cut in before anyone spoke, "So, Miao'er was angry that Yan Xu had not said anything as if nothing had happened. In other words, Yan Xu was also guilty of not looking at the dignity of Miao'er's womanhood."

"Tu-wait, Teacher! Please do not bring anything indecent in the discussion this time!" yan Xu's face reddened as he had almost reached his limit to hide his embarrassment from still remembering Miao'er's beautiful appearance.

"Eeeh~~ whyaa~~ look at your face, blushing as red as a tomato. You are also Miao'er ..." Lan Xihe looked at Miao'er with a scolding look, "You shouldn't show off your beautiful body parts carelessly, especially in front of men!"

"Teacher! Miao'er just showed it to Senior Brother, another man certainly does not deserve to see the body— eehhhhh!!!"

Miao'er immediately covered her flushed face, she already had no desire to get angry or talk anymore because she was caught up in Lan Xihe's ruse.

Meanwhile, Yan Xu simply remained silent as he lowered his head. Not daring to speak up because he knew that Lan Xihe would set up a new mine as they answered her every word.

Lan Xihe laughed out loud as she gently stroked the heads of her two scheming disciples.

"You guys, it's really weird and it's so unique!"

"Teacher, please don't mix weird and unique because it contains the same meaning," Yan Xu replied flatly.

"Oh, really? In my opinion, it looks different," Miao'er began to follow the conversation and immediately changed her embarrassment. Anyway, he had to shift the topic earlier as quickly as possible in order for his senior brother to be unaware of the original purpose of Miao'er's previous actions.

Lan Xihe nodded gently, "I agree with Miao'er's remark. Strange and unique have different meanings. It is strange because it sometimes does not look at morality, while unique is a different thing but still within the limits of human morality."

"human morality? Then, those freaks are one part of the beast?" yan Xu asked smoothly, as if launching an attack in a wordplay between the three of them.

"Right, an example is ..." Lan Xihe glanced at Miao'er.

Miao'er, who understood what his teacher was going to say, immediately switched the subject and started shouting in a funny voice, "Awawa! Teacher, please just explain the unique part!"

Lan Xihe and Yan Xu laughed heartily at Miao'er's playful behavior. After being satisfied, Lan Xihe began to continue with her explanation.

"If it's a unique piece, you should know for yourself what I mean," Lan Xihe said as she lightly shrugged her two shoulders.

Yan Xu and Miao'er stared at each other for a while, it seemed like they had the same thought over what Lan Xihe meant.

The two answered each other with the same sentence, "Our success in learning every method and technique from Master?"

"Ping pong~ Exactly!" lan Xihe replied cheerfully.

He moved from his seat, looked at the two students with a warm smile, "That's why your teacher is in such a dilemma right now. He really didn't know what else to teach his students."

Lan Xihe massaged her forehead as if feeling dizzy from thinking too much.

Seeing their teacher bewildered for the first time, made Yan Xu and Miao'er look at each other. It seemed, it was time for them to show the teacher a new discovery. Perhaps it could provide a new inspiration for Lan Xihe in thinking of new teaching materials for the two of them.

Yan Xu took out the fake face of the highest quality he had ever made from his dimension storage pouch, then pointed it towards Lan Xihe.

"Teacher, we've both done experiments and produced this thing. Please look, who knows Master will get enlightenment about the teaching materials for us."

Seeing what was in Yan Xu's hands, Lan Xihe's eyes twinkled. He immediately took out the fake facial skin and observed it very closely.

"Hmmm .. This must have been made of Zhuxin leather which was at the southern end of the Wind Peak. The thickness of the skin is also very exactly like that of humans in general, it has even been polished in such a way as to look more natural."

Lan Xihe looked at the two disciples as she asked, "Did you two make this?"

The two disciples nodded doubtfully, but there was clearly not a single lie from their answer. As he asked, Lan Xihe had bought the lie detection function for a while on his system. There was no lying reaction, meaning the two of them were indeed telling the truth.

"Very good! You guys have really developed because not only have you focused on the teaching materials I brought you, you have also tried all sorts of other things" Lan Xihe said with a proud smile.

When he gave back that fake facial skin, Yan Xu pushed back his arm while saying, "It was a gift for Master, from the both of us. Of course as a thank you for the services of Master for giving various types of knowledge to both of us."

Miao'er beside Yan Xu also continued in a sincere voice, "Without Master, Miao'er and Senior Brother will not be like our current selves."

After saying that, the two kneeled towards Lan Xihe. That behavior shows that they really respect the person in front of them.

That strange change of atmosphere made Lan Xihe feel awkward and immediately helped the two to stand upright again. He was not too used to receiving the overly warm and grateful reverence of these two most cunning people he had ever met.

"Since the opening in the morning is over, I will announce that you can be free for one week."

'Finally!' the two of them smiled at each other slylyly in their hearts, especially Yan Xu who felt very happy about being able to take off from his teacher's immoral beating.

Hiding his delight, Yan Xu immediately asked curiously, "Teacher, what can we do during this week?"

"You guys are free to go for a walk out because I know you will use a fake face and it is impossible to use sect-related techniques."

"Not connected to the sect?" miao'er asked as he tilted his head.

"All of the methods and techniques that I taught you two, have absolutely no connection with the Luo Immortal Sect. So, you need not hesitate to use it while on your way outside for the sake of maintaining self-safety," Lan Xihe replied attentively.

Both of his students nodded.

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

"Teacher, are we allowed to go to the capital of the Great Ming Empire?" asked Yan Xu.

"Of course, anywhere is fine as long as it is not more than one week. The rest must be how, you know for yourself not to look for who," Lan Xihe replied with a sly smile to her two students.

Yan Xu and Miao'er nodded and replied simultaneously, "Murid received the order, Master."

"Good, now ..." Lan Xihe had already disappeared and only left her shadow with a soft voice, "See you one more week."

Both of his students were left behind.

...

After a while, the two looked at each other and nodded.

They immediately moved and observed the surroundings.

"Sir Junior, what about your situation there?" asked Yan Xu.

"Safe," Miao'er replied looking nervous.

"okay."

After ensuring safety in the surrounding environment, the two petty disciples regrouped while smiling cunningly.

"Gift to bribe Master to get a day off, success!" said the two savage disciples while clapping hands with each other.

Both of them laughed out loud while holding their respective stomachs. If only Lan Xihe had seen this, she would have beaten up her two scheming disciples mercilessly for already daring to plot against her.

However, Lan Xihe was currently more interested in the discovery of her two students. Which teacher was unhappy when he saw his student make something he had never taught. That was also the case for Lan Xihe, as the teacher of the two cunning disciples.

After laughing, they began to plan the trip that the two had been waiting for.

"First, we will go to the central administrative premises first," Yan Xu said seriously.

"Will Senior Brother do the same bribe towards Elder Fan?" miao'er asked that both of her round eyes had widened.

Yan Xu nodded and said, "That is one of the most important things and the other part is ..."

Yan Xu deliberately slowed down his speech so that Miao'er could answer the rest with her own mouth.

"Fake skin, right?" Miao'er smiled confidently at the answer.

"Just right!" Yan Xu also smiled widely while clapping his hands.

The goals of the two men were already set.

Before they went to the central administration, they took three spiritual fish and wrapped them in a special way. Likewise, three fake facial skin pieces that have six charm points are also added to different packaging.

Yan Xu called out to his crew then jumped up with Miao'er while smiling crookedly, "The bribery ammunition is over, it's time to leave."

"Loof!" continued Miao'er with vigor.

The two sneaky disciples used two layers of fake facial skin and changed the pattern on his clothes slightly by activating the runes that had been attached to his immortal robes.

The clouds that housed the two drove at a height they had already agreed upon as the safest distance. Furthermore, the central administration of— Elder Fan will get an interesting reward from the two sneaky disciples of Peak Wind.
