  Lin Shu was stunned.

  Then he remembered that in the martial arts arena, Big Miss had only seen the image of himself as Folding Bamboo, but not this one.

  In the martial arts arena, an image is bound to a name. He now uses his own face in his previous life, and the name is “Indisputable”, which is the name that Master gave to his natal sword in his previous life.

  Big Miss took a few steps forward, looked at his face for a long time, and then asked, “Whose face is this?”

  There was hesitation in her tone and displeasure in her eyes.

  Lin Shu was frightened but surprised.

  Naturally, he cannot say that he is not actually a person in this world. He was sent here by the Heavenly Dao after failing to overcome the tribulations, so he thought about it and said, “I molded it myself.”

  Big Miss asked again: “Why aren’t you using Folding Bamboo?”

  Lin Shu touched his nose: “I’m not used to girls’ outfits.”

  Big Miss: “Is that so?”

  Lin Shu felt that the reason was very good.

  Then he saw Big Miss sigh lightly and say: “I’ve wronged you.”

  Big Miss was actually so considerate to know that he had a lot of difficulty walking in the martial arts arena in women’s clothes that year.

  Lin Shu was very moved and said, “It’s okay.”

  Just after being moved, he heard the Big Miss say: “But I like the look of Folding Bamboo.”

  Lin Shu: “.……”

  I am not moved anymore.

  The Big Miss continued: “I want to see you in a skirt.”

  Lin Shu: “.……”

  ——What kind of bad hobby is this?

  He said, “But I can’t wear skirts.”

  The Big Miss said: “Anyway, it is only in the Dreamscape.”

  Lin Shu felt unable to breathe.

  All right.

  He went offline in silence.

  He logged in again, went to the mirror to set the image, changed back to Folding Bamboo, and walked back to the martial arts arena.

  As soon as he arrived at the dock, he saw people looking at him one after another, whispering: “The Folding Bamboo Fairy has appeared!”

  At the same time, the name ‘Indisputable’ disappeared from the rankings, and the name ‘Folding Bamboo’ appeared on the list.

  Fortunately, he did not fight with other people with ‘Indisputable’. The name was drowned in the vast sea of people. No one would notice that it disappeared. Naturally, they could not speculate that “Indisputable” was “Folding Bamboo”, and “Folding Bamboo” was “Indisputable”.

  And the name Folding Bamboo appeared at the top of the list.

  Lin Shu felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose.

  &#k2014;&#k2014;Who made Cang Min love martial arts as a maniac and insist on challenging Folding Bamboo? From then on, after a new round of competition, the top few finally stayed at the first place of Folding Bamboo and the second was Cang Min.

  And during the year he used the image of Folding Bamboo, Cang Min’s invitation to fight would jump out almost every three or four days. He was overwhelmed. Once the one-year period had passed, he immediately changed his body and ran away, and never appeared again.

  On the day that the name of Folding Bamboo disappeared, Cang Min was even so sad that Yue Ruohe and Yue Ruoyun drank with him and poured out a great deal of disappointment in his heart.

  The Big Miss saw him through the crowd and smiled at him.

  Lin Shu went over to her.

  Big Miss said: “Although there is no big difference between male and female, I prefer girls after all.”

  Lin Shu said in his heart, it turned out originally that the Big Miss grew up in Phoenix Mountain Villa where there were only girls. She was used to staying with beautiful girls and looked down upon the men outside.

  \r \r \r

  The Big Miss took him to find a place where no one else was. She said, “I’ll show you my new blade techniques.”

  With the ‘Identical Sorrow’ out of its sheath, it uttered a long and clear cry.

  The Big Miss first sent out a gentle sword move, and said: “I have shown you this style before. It’s called ‘Homecoming’.”

  Then the sword point was lifted up, like running clouds and flowing water. It drew an arc shaped like the moon.

  This move is not complicated. It doesn’t even have much skill. What is commendable is the harmonious connotation inside.

  Lin Shu watched and pondered, thinking that most of the Phoenix swordsmanship were fierce and domineering. When the ruthlessness reached the extreme, they would inevitably lack fluency. Big Miss’s two moves, if used among other moves, can perfectly solve this problem, and will be more flexible when fighting with others, which is really wonderful.

  “This move is called ‘Full Moon’,” said Big Miss. “I remembered that night in Jiang Prefecture two years ago as we planned to visit Jiang Prefecture Mansion, we pretended to watch the moon to avoid being seen by the post house guard. Later I thought about how the moon was really round that night.”

  Lin Shu said: “It was very round.”

  Big Miss smiled. She folded her body backwards. Her sword gleamed like water as it suddenly shot out into the sky, and then turned and struck down.

  The red dress was flying, the blade was very fast, but not sharp, but falling and turning around, like snowflakes.

  Lin Shu thought it was wonderful. The first two moves win in harmony, but this one wins in versatility and requires extremely high skills—and there is also stillness in movement. It’s extremely beautiful.

  Ling Fengxiao finished the dance, looked at him, and said, “It snowed the night before I went into seclusion. We roasted rats in the bamboo forest for you to eat. I feel very happy with this move, ‘Snowy Night’.”

  Lin Shu said: “Very beautiful.”

  The Big Miss closed her eyes and gripped her blade horizontally in front of her, holding the handle of the sword in one hand, and putting up two fingers in the other hand, slowly wiping across the blade.

  ‘Identical Sorrow’ made a clear cry.

  Lin Shu saw that with the movements of Big Miss’s fingers, the blade of the knife trembled slightly.

  The tremor was so small that it was difficult to see with the naked eye. Lin Shu was puzzled. As he was about to observe it carefully, he felt the air in front of him was extremely quiet, there was no wind, and there was no sound.

  Then, a drop of water slowly landed on the smooth, mirror-like water surface.

  Layers of ripples rippled on the water surface and spread outward. The fluctuation of spiritual power was like spring rain moistening the night. At first, it was insignificant, and then it brought about the vibration of spiritual power in the whole area.

  This move is exquisite in the control of spiritual power.

  But Lin Shu couldn’t figure out how to use it in actual combat.

  When he was thinking about it, he saw that the Big Miss took the sword and said, “This move is called ‘Zither’s Sound’.”

  Lin Shu: “Zither’s Sound?”

  The Big Miss said: “When I was in seclusion, I woke up occasionally at night and heard the sound of your zither, and my heart moved, like a still water, so I have this move.”

  For no reason, Lin Shu felt a little hot on his face.

  He lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the Big Miss.

  Ling Fengxiao smiled softly and said, “Are you embarrassed?”

  Lin Shu said: “A little.”

  The Big Miss’s smile was very happy.

  Lin Shu thought that Mr. Meng once said that the blade technique of Phoenix Mountain Villa was too isolated and domineering. He was afraid that it would be harmful to himself, so men could not practice it. He thought that even a girl might not necessarily be immune to its side effects. Moreover, Big Miss comprehended the quiet and gentle moves just now, which would be of great benefit to the future cultivation.

  It’s just that the opportunities of these moves are all because of him, which makes him a little embarrassed.

  He was in a trance when a finger lifted his chin.

  Big Miss said: “Don’t lower your head.”

  Lin Shu: “.……”

  The Big Miss asked: “In the past two years, I have no advancements in martial arts, and I only created the few tricks that I had just demonstrated to please you. The rest of the time was spent accumulating the state of mind, and now I have a solid foundation, and my state of mind is no longer impetuous. I believe I am unmatched in the Yuanying Realm, and it is now possible for me to fight against the ‘Complete Dao’ seniors in Tribulation Realm.”

  Lin Shu said, “That’s good.”

  With Ling Fengxiao’s natural talent and intelligence, it should be so.

  In modern times, when he was this old, he was also on the threshold of peak Yuanying Realm. He only needed a mere opportunity to enter Tribulation Realm.

  He thought for a while and then asked, “When will you enter Tribulation Realm?”

  Ling Fengxiao’s answer was far beyond his expectation.

  “I can’t enter Tribulation Realm,” Ling Fengxiao said.

  Lin Shu: “Why?”

  “First, after entering Tribulation Realm, Heaven’s Tribulation will arrive at an unknown time. If I ascend, Southern Xia’s military strength will be even weaker. It is better to suppress my cultivation at peak Yuanying Realm, and use the internal power of ‘Nirvana Life’ at critical moments. This way, I can also have fighting power equivalent to that of a Tribulation Realm cultivator.” Ling Fengxiao said lightly, “Secondly, I am in the material world and cannot get rid of the secular world. My state of mind is not high enough. Even if I want to enter Tribulation Realm, I am afraid it will be difficult.”

  Lin Shu looked at Ling Fengxiao and said, “Then wait until the war is over?”

  “Hmmm.” Ling Fengxiao said, “At that time, if I am still alive, I will go back to the mountains with you, or roam the world and no longer deal with worldly affairs, and concentrate on cultivating immortality. It would not be difficult to cross the tribulation and ascend.”

  Lin Shu: “Yeah.”

  “However, you have to wait for me.” Ling Fengxiao smiled, and the hand that was holding his chin turned up, gently touched his hair, brushing a few strands of messy hair behind his ears.

  The action was very gentle, and also the tone: “If I die, you can cultivate immortality well and ascend quickly. If I haven’t died and survived, you must not enter the Tribulation Realm too fast, and leave to ascend before me.”

  Lin Shu thought this was unlikely.

  He said, “I still have no cultivation skills yet. I’m probably a long way to go from ascension.”

  Ling Fengxiao said: “However, once you restore your meridians, your previous realm will return soon.”

  After that, she asked: “What was your realm before you fell into qi deviation? I haven’t asked before.”

  Lin Shu thought about it, and felt that he couldn’t tell the truth, so he lowered the “Peak of Tribulation Realm” and said, “I just entered Yuanying Realm.”

  “That’s already very high.” Ling Fengxiao frowned, “If you ascend too early……”

  Lin Shu felt that she was even a little aggrieved.

  “I won’t ascend that early,” he reassured

  Big Miss: “I will believe it for now.”

  When she mentioned ascending to heaven, Lin Shu thought of his own meridians. When he thought of his meridians, he remembered that Big Miss said there was a way to restore his meridians completely.

  Lin Shu tentatively asked: “How can my meridian be restored?”

  Ling Fengxiao looked into his eyes.

  Lin Shu was a little flustered by Big Miss’s gaze.

  Ling Fengxiao spoke, but she said something irrelevant: “Are you eighteen this year?”

  Lin Shu was puzzled, but still nodded.

  “Although, if you are in the mortal world, you are old enough, but I think it is still too young.” Ling Fengxiao’s voice was gentle and dripping out like water, “This blood poisoning matter, I am afraid I will have to go to Northern Xia to investigate it. When I come back, I will take you back to Phoenix Mountain Villa to meet my mother and ask her to set an auspicious day. After one or two years, you and I will get married, so you don’t need to worry about your meridians anymore.”

  Lin Shu was confused: “Can marriage make the meridians better?”

  Ling Fengxiao’s movement of touching his hair paused: “Don’t you know?”

  Lin Shu: “.……Huh?”

  He looked up and saw Ling Fengxiao’s indescribable expression.

  After a pause, Ling Feng Xiao probably adjusted her emotions, and her tone became more gentle. She was just whispering in a soft voice, for fear that her voice would scare him.

  “There is a 《Nourishing Meridians》 in your room, haven’t you read it carefully?”

  Lin Shu: “I have read it.”

  Ling Fengxiao: “Then read it carefully again.”

  Lin Shu: “.……Okay.”

  Although he said okay, he didn’t actually believe that the ordinary book of 《Nourishing Meridians》 could do anything. In fact, his heart is very suspicious. He practiced it for two years according to the above method, but his meridians did not change at all.

  “In short, after getting married, you will have the most gifted meridians.” Ling Fengxiao took his hand and said, “If you want to restore the meridians as soon as possible, it is not impossible, but after all, it is against the etiquette, and I am not willing to touch you.”

  Lin Shu became more and more confused.

  What is Big Miss talking about?

  Get married?

  These two words made him even more panicked.

  He’s going to marry Big Miss?

  See her mother?

  These three words are nothing more than a bolt from the blue.

  The master of Phoenix Mountain Villa really won’t dislike him?

  His brain was like an overloaded processor, and it exploded.

  TL’s corner:

  Zaki: Wanna bet what’s the cure of Lin Shu’s meridians? hehehehe
