As soon as they started fighting, Lu Yun knew that she was wrong.

Da Jia shook his numb shoulders, his eyes filled with horror, wondering where this monster had come from.

The onlookers on the side were like, “?”

Lu Yun took a step forward hesitantly. "Brother Dajia, I—"

Da Jia subconsciously stepped back and said, "Don't come over here, I give up." After saying that, he ran away.

Lu Yun: "?"

It was still the same three people from before. "You are a good kid!" "You are brave!" "You have guts!"

Lu Yun distanced herself and lowered her head to play the role of a rookie soldier.

The three of them chuckled and attacked quickly. Fortunately, Lu Yun was prepared and took a large step back, bending to avoid the first attacking arm. Then, exerting force with her calves, she did another backflip to avoid the other two.

The set of movements was not only smooth but also extremely fast. Others watched with great interest and applauded loudly.

It's my turn! Lu Yun nodded to the three of them, accelerated around to their backs, squatted down and used a sweeping kick to knock one of them down first, then turned sideways to avoid the sliding tackle, and grabbed one of them by the arm with his five fingers.

"Ahhh!" A man weighing at least 150 kilograms was pulled by his arm and spun around in the air before falling to the soft ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

A strong wind came from behind. Lu Yun lowered her head and bent over, supporting herself on the ground with her hands. Taking advantage of her small stature, she kicked behind her with both feet. With a loud "bang", the man who was hit hard in the heart fell straight down on his back - I'm going to sleep first, good night.jpg.

There was complete silence all around. Da Jia, who had just returned, witnessed the whole process. He could not help but touch his arm and shouted to the crowd:

"Don't you all have anything to do? Go back to training!"

Lu Yun's heart was in turmoil. "Will he bear a grudge and abandon me?" she thought. Aside from Zhou Boli, she rarely sparred with anyone else, and she certainly hadn't grasped the situation well.

The three brothers limped away, supporting each other, and nodded to Lu Yun as they passed by.

Lu Yun felt even more guilty and quickly reached out to help.

Unexpectedly, the three of them kept pushing and refusing, and their speed increased to the extreme, and they soon disappeared.

Lu Yun asked embarrassedly, "Brother Dajia, have I passed?"

"Yes, of course." Da Jia approached with a smile, then raised his hand and punched him. "Brother Lu Wang, you are very capable. I am convinced. I will take you to see our young lady."

Lu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him sincerely. "Thank you, Brother Jia."

"Brother Lu, how long have you been practicing martial arts?"

"I started doing horse stance when I was three years old, and sword training when I was five, which has been going on for over ten years."

Da Jia immediately regained his balance. No wonder his lower body was as stable as a rock. "Brother Lu, do you have a master?"

"I guess so." Lu Yun made up a story. "When I was a child, an old Taoist came to the village. Seeing that I was born with supernatural powers, the old Taoist took me as his disciple, took me back to the Taoist temple, and taught me to read, write, practice martial arts and recite scriptures."

It sounded like a storybook, so Da Jia continued to inquire, "Brother Wang, does the master have a Taoist name?"

Lu Yun rolled her eyes and thought hard, "Normally, there are only me and my master in the temple, but my master mentioned it to me once, and it seems to be Qingxu."

Taoist Qingxu!! Da Jia’s pupils trembled. As a disciple from a famous family, it was only natural for him to have such good fortune!

"Ahem, brother Wang." Lu Yun stopped when she heard that. He excitedly reached out his hands and patted her shoulders vigorously. "There aren't many talents like you!"

"Although," Lu Yun humbly shook her head, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes. "Master has never returned since he left the mountain five years ago. However, Master rarely stays in the mountains and always travels around. I've long been accustomed to it."

The merchant looked at you with pity. "Poor child, 'Master Qingxu's hometown is in Kyoto. He must have tricked you into guarding his temple. If he could come back to see you once in the past five years, he wouldn't have let you run around with such a sullen face.' You're more than a head shorter than your peers, so finding a wife will be difficult in the future."

Thinking of this, Dajia was extremely satisfied with his eight-foot-tall, broad-shouldered, and broad-backed self. As the water overflows when full, the moon wanes when full. Everything has its limits. God truly does not deceive me.

Looking at Da Jia Ge who was giggling from time to time, Lu Yun began to reflect on what was so funny about the story of the Liushan children.

Arriving at the main tent door, Dajia rubbed his face vigorously twice, his expression serious, his eyes determined, and his chest and head held high. "Brother Wang, follow me in."

Lu Yun: “——” I seem to know something.

The main tent was small, with two long desks placed on a thick felt floor. The largest was placed on the steps at the back, neatly arranged with books, scrolls, pens, and other items. The other, smaller one, was located to the lower left. The second daughter of the Lin family, whom Lu Yun wanted to meet, was seated behind the desk.

There was a charcoal stove opposite. When the maid saw the visitor coming, she put down the work in her hands, bowed and left.

The second young lady of the Lin family was in her early twenties, with black hair pinned up on top of her head with a wooden hairpin. She had heroic features, slightly dark skin, and two faint patches of highland red on her face. She and Lin Zhaoxuan didn't look like siblings at all.

"Are you Lu Wang?" The voice was unexpectedly soft.

Lu Yun bowed and said, "I greet Miss Lin."

Lin Zhaoye put down his pen and smiled. "Your accent doesn't sound like someone from Jingzhou. Instead, it sounds like someone from Kyoto."

Suddenly, a turmoil erupted. Lu Yun's mind raced as she quickly devised a response. "Miss, I've been following my master up the mountain since I was three years old. I've been there for over a decade, so my accent might be more like his."

Lin Zhaoye: "Is your master Taoist Qingxu?"

Lu Yun: "Master doesn't often mention his Taoist name, but I have indeed heard him mention the word Qingxu."

Lin Zhaoye followed closely, "Do you still remember what your master looks like?"

This was a completely easy question, and Lu Yun carefully considered her words: "A tall, thin old man with white hair and beard, often wearing a gray Taoist robe, speaking slowly and in a confusing manner. He dislikes mundane affairs but enjoys traveling, so he is often away from the temple."

"Oh, right." Lu Yun added, "Master mentioned that I have a senior sister. Master should like this senior sister very much."

Lin Zhaoye said calmly, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Yun: "Because Master said that Senior Sister always asks him to find all kinds of strange and bizarre things."

Lin Zhaoye nodded and said, "It seems that your master is indeed Taoist Qingxu. If that's the case, I can't accept you."

Da Jia moved his lips and winked at Lu Yun.

This was completely out of the ordinary. Lu Yun was exhausted. "I have come a long way to join the army, hoping to serve the court and fight the Tartars. Why won't your superiors accept me?"

Lin Zhaoye said calmly, "About a month ago, the Crown Prince of Nanyue was summoned to lead an army to attack the Tartars. However, to this day, the Tartars have already breached Yanmen Pass, and the 100,000-strong Nanyue army is still nowhere to be found."

Lu Yun was puzzled. "What does this have to do with your refusal to take in a child?"

Lin Zhaoye shook his head slowly. "Your senior sister, Princess Ning'an, is now the famous Nanyue Crown Prince's Consort. The Nanyue Palace's intentions are unclear, so I can't accept you just in case."

Oh my god, I actually hurt myself! Lu Yun struggled desperately, "But I don't know any of this."

Lin Zhaoye smiled. "But you know now, don't you?"

Da Jia sent her to the gate of the military camp with a very distant attitude. "Lu Wang, I hope we won't meet on the battlefield in the future."

Lu Yun frowned at him and said, "The Nanyue army is nowhere to be found. The Tartars are going to attack Kyoto next. Why are you still not leaving?"

Da Jia gritted his teeth and said, "Come with me."
