During the night, in the bedroom!

Chen Shouyi’s body was like a spring. The muscles of his entire body moved in unison, and his feet were like stepping on air, ethereal and unfixed. He would suddenly advance forward, retreat back, and drift to the left and right. Every time he pierced out, his movements were like flowing water, brimming with unique charm and a strange sense of beauty.

His hand was accurate and stable, sending out sword strikes like bullets. Every time he attacked with his sword, the muscles in his entire body would flow in rhythmic waves.

The sword tip pierced through space, issuing a muffled whistling sound.

This was the result of him attending the tuition lessons this month. His piercing attacks began to reach the point where he could control it with his will. At the same time, he was also gradually getting familiar with the basic steps, allowing his sword techniques to show its might.

For this point, it could be seen by the information in his attributes panel. His sword technique grading had already risen from the elementary grade to (Proficient: 3).

At this moment, he suddenly stopped while in the midst of high-speed movement.

His ears cocked and listened carefully. He swiftly placed his wooden sword back and walked a few steps to the desk in his room. He took out a reference book and pretended to be reading it seriously.

Very soon, the clear sounds of footsteps from his parents could be heard from the stairs outside.

And soon later, Chen Shouyi heard that the door to his younger sister’s bedroom also opened.

“Mother, I’m going to take the test at the test center tomorrow!”

Chen Shouyi listened intently!

“Child, this is such an important matter, why didn’t you say it earlier? We will accompany you there tomorrow.” Chen Dawei’s voice was filled with joy and surprise.

“Father, it’s okay. You guys should go busy yourself with your own stuff. My classmate will go with me. If you guys went with me, I would get nervous.”

“Your classmate? Is it a guy or a girl?” Mother Chen’s voice was filled with vigilance.

“Mother! My classmate is naturally a girl.” Chen Xingyue feigned anger coquettishly.

“That’s not good either. You girls are still so young. What if something happened? You wouldn’t know how to resolve it. How about this? Get your elder brother to go with you, so there would be a lookout for you at that time,” Mother Chen spoke.

In this one month, Chen Shouyi’s transformation was very great. His personality had become increasingly mature and steady. Thus, Mother Chen could also manage to set her heart at ease.

After that, she knocked on Chen Shouyi’s room door. “Shouyi, come out for a while.”

“Mother, is there something you need?” Chen Shouyi pretended to have a look of puzzlement on his face.

“Tomorrow, your younger sister is going to take the Martial Apprentice Test. You should accompany her there. Later on, I will transfer $500 to you. You can have lunch outside!”

Chen Shouyi glanced at Chen Xingyue and could see a type of disdain from her stupefied face. Clearly, she didn’t want to go with her elder brother. He felt a little bothered in his heart, but there was no change to his facial expression. He agreed and spoke, “Sure. Mother, I know it.”

…

On the second morning, after he had finished his morning practice in his bedroom, he went to his bathroom for a shower.

Just when he finished wearing his clothes, his younger sister rushed into his room energetically.

“I knew this would be the case.” Chen Xingyue crossed her arms as a ‘sure-enough’ look could be seen on her face. “You are wearing this out?”

Chen Shouyi glanced at the shorts and sandals he was wearing, before glancing at the T-shirt he had on. He didn’t feel it was inappropriate. He spoke in a confused manner, “These are something mother bought a week ago. I’ve only worn them once, so they are all new clothes.”

Through this month, Chen Shouyi’s body was rapidly growing stronger, and his old clothes were too tight now. Hence, Mother Chen had gone to the store next door to buy a few sets of clothes for him last week.

“Elder brother, it’s not like I want to diss you. But with your sense of fashion, it’s definitely impossible for you to find a girlfriend,” said Chen Xingyue with a look of disgust on her face.

Chen Shouyi also reacted after a moment. “Today is such a hot day, do you want me to wear a buttoned shirt and jeans? Moreover, these clothes were bought by mother. Are you not worried that I will tell her about this?”

Chen Xingyue felt panic a moment later and hurriedly spoke, “It’s very normal to wear such clothes when you are at home or strolling down the streets. But we are heading to the martial test center! That is such an official venue, yet you are going to dress so casually?

“I still have a good friend who is also my classmate coming along. At that time, when I introduce you two, you might be indifferent, but the one losing face will be me.”

Chen Shouyi blushed slightly, but he still tried to gain some face before his sister. “Sure, sure, sure. In that case, you choose the clothes for me. I won’t care any longer.”

Chen Xingyue heaved a sigh of relief. At long last, she had finally convinced her stubborn elder brother.

She instantly opened up the cupboard. A short time later, she picked white-bluish jeans as well as a pair of white sneakers. “Change into it.”

The two of them were blood siblings. Chen Shouyi wasn’t really bothered by the fact that his sister was standing beside him. He simply stood with his back facing her and changed into jeans and sneakers.

Chen Xingyue surveyed him for a total of ten seconds before finally sighing softly. “Your hair…forget it. We have no more time, this is barely sufficient. Luckily, I didn’t harbor any high hopes before I came in.”
