Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

Lian Li was not convinced and immediately retorted: "What do you mean by taking advantage? We are no longer just brothers and sisters, how can you say that you are taking advantage!"

Yun Huizhou tilted his head to the side, looked at Lian Li, and said, "You are right. We are no longer just fellow apprentices. This touching really doesn't mean anything."

His tone was very flat, almost like asking "Have you eaten?", but Lian Li smelled danger and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to continue the topic.

Feeling that Yun Huizhou was still staring at him, he quickly changed the subject: "You always say that the young disciple from Maple Leaf Valley has only been in school for a short time and has poor martial arts skills. Have you ever thought that I have been in school even shorter?"

"And... if he can get a place on the beauty list, he must be at least fourteen years old. So he didn't enter the sect too early, but I seem to have entered the sect later. In fact, I have wanted to ask this for a long time, do sects not consider age when accepting disciples?"

"It still depends on your age. You just happened to be stuck at the deadline. If you were seventeen, even if I brought you back, Master would not accept you directly."

Lian Li said "Oh", then remembered something: "Don't you guys look at aptitude? I remember you said my aptitude was not that good when you touched my bones at the beginning. That guy from Maple Leaf Valley has been practicing martial arts for three years and his skills are about the same as mine, so doesn't that mean his aptitude is worse?"

"Also... I didn't feel that way before, but after going out with you this time, I feel like my progress... isn't it a little fast? I've only been doing this for a year!"

Seeing Lian Li struggling to get up, supporting himself on top of him with his eyes blinking, with the expression "praise me, praise me" almost written on his face, Yun Huizhou could not help but laugh out loud.

Lian Li thought he was laughing at him, and punched him in the chest twice: "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh."

Yun Huizhou stopped laughing, looked at him and said, "There are definitely requirements for aptitude, but have you ever thought that the reason I said your aptitude was poor was... you just happened to meet the standards for Zuimeng Island to accept disciples."

"And the standards for accepting disciples on Zuimeng Island...are the highest in the entire martial arts world."

"Is there another possibility? With your qualifications, unless you join a top-level sect, you will basically be trained to be a genius?"

Lian Li was completely stunned. Yun Huizhou didn't want to endure it any more when he saw how silly he was. He raised his hands, held his face and started rubbing it, making Lian Li cry out.

After finally getting enough rubbing, Yun Huizhou let go of Lian Li and prepared to accept Lian Li's counterattack, but found that Lian Li had no intention of fighting back at all. Instead, he sat up with an excited look on his face.

"Am I that awesome? Hahahaha, it turns out I'm really a martial arts genius! Hahahaha!"

Sitting on the bed and laughing, Lian Li still felt that he could not express his happiness and excitement. He jumped off the bed and started running around the room like crazy.

He kept muttering to himself as he ran in circles.

"It turns out that I'm a martial arts genius!"

Seeing that he was so happy, Yun Huizhou didn't feel like discouraging him. After all, Lian Li had just reached the threshold to be accepted, while the others in the sect... all exceeded the standard by a lot.

Lian Li ran around the room frantically for a while before his excitement subsided a little. He returned to the bed, climbed up and lay down next to Yun Huizhou.

He was still very excited and tossed and turned on the bed. Finally, he calmed down with his hands and feet on Yun Huizhou.

"When do you think I can reach second-rate level?"

"In fact, with your current fame and martial arts skills, you can be considered second-rate in the martial arts world." Speaking of this, Yun Huizhou answered very seriously: "But if we only count martial arts skills, your internal strength is a little lacking. Of course, if the internal strength is not far behind, the martial arts moves can make up for it."

"That's why Uncle Master has been holding you to practice his moves. Also, you lack the experience of fighting against people with similar martial arts skills as you."

"If you can defeat your opponent relatively easily in this competition, Master will probably consider you to have achieved your goal."

"But if you have a hard time winning, I don't think Master will be satisfied. If you lose... I won't talk about whether you have a goal or not, just be prepared... to enjoy the treatment I gave you as a child."

Lian Li was startled when he heard this. Logically speaking, Yun Huizhou started practicing martial arts at the age of four. Although it was easier for him to lay a solid foundation at his young age, it was precisely because he was young and still growing that his progress would not be particularly fast, and his teaching method was also relatively gentle.

But this is only mild until he is about six years old. He lays the foundation for two years and then begins normal teaching.

When this beast was twelve years old, he could fight with the top masters in the world.

Lian Li knew without thinking that after the novice protection period of Yun Huizhou was over, he must have been trained severely.

"How were you treated as a child?" Lian Li asked.

Yun Huizhou: "Four island masters plus the master, each fighting for a day... When I was close to the second-rate level, the master threw me into a wolf pack, about thirteen of them."

"After defeating the wolves, we'll go find the tigress, then the bear, then the tiger, and finally... the wild boars..."

"After reaching the second-rate level, they would take me to the Wulin League to answer wanted calls. They were not the kind that would suppress bandits. Instead, they were the wanted calls for the bad guys in the Wulin, like murderers, skinning hands, and the like. Some of them were left over from the Demon Cult, and some were newcomers."

"Anyway, during the four years between my second-rate and first-rate careers, I received a lot of wanted notices, and my hands were numb from killing people."

Lian Li: “…”

Lian Li's silence made Yun Huizhou think that he was frightened. He raised his hand and pinched his face, and continued: "I tell you, I was only this tall at that time. Compared with them, my arms and legs were shorter, and my sword was shorter. They had to match my height. Obviously, my martial arts skills were higher than theirs, but I was still hard to beat."

Lian Li imagined that Yun Huizhou, who was probably about ten years old, was holding a knife that was a smaller version of the one he was holding now, and was fighting his way out of a group of wild beasts and against a tall and strong villain.

To be honest, I don't feel sad, but I think it's quite cute.

I don’t know what Yun Huizhou looked like when he was a child, or whether his current appearance is a smaller version of what he looked like now.

"If I lose, will my master force me to practice like this?" Lian Li collected his thoughts and asked Yun Huizhou.

"No." Yun Huizhou said.

"Ah?" Lian Li was confused.

Yun Huizhou looked at him with a sad face and said, "It will be that our Grandmaster will come back and personally train you. And you may also see that our Grandmaster beats up our Uncle, Master, Uncle Bei, and me."

Lian Li: "Did you forget Uncle Xi?"
