Chapter 17: Morning Exercises and Exploration

On his first morning at the Lu family's, Gu Yichen opened his eyes naturally as the sky began to light up. Despite his amnesia, his biological clock remained precise. He quickly changed into his clothes and prepared to start the new day.

Gu Yichen discovered that Lu Ling'er cared for him in every possible way. Not only did she prepare robes, inner garments, pajamas, and boxer suits for his daily wear, but she also carefully selected each one. Although the light blue and white robes were made of cotton, they were very comfortable, neat, and clean. What surprised Gu Yichen the most was that the dark blue pajamas and white inner garments were all made of silk, which surprised him with their luxury. As for the two sets of black boxer suits, they were his favorite tight-fitting designs. They not only highlighted his figure, but also made him comfortable and natural to wear. The cuffs fit tightly to his arms, making it easy to wield weapons flexibly while avoiding the feeling of being restrained by excess fabric, allowing him to move more freely during intense combat.

Gu Yichen found a small martial arts training ground in the backyard, complete with plum blossom piles. Lu Ling'er had told him yesterday that the weapons were stored in the backyard's storage room closest to the training ground, and he could go get them himself. He learned that the three Lu brothers and Lu Ling'er had been practicing martial arts since they were three years old, which intensified his curiosity about this family and his desire to delve deeper into Lu Ling'er's background.

He swung the sword in his hand and began to dance on the plum blossom pile. With most of the toxins discharged, his movements became light and smooth. His sword skills were like flowing water, and every move and style was extremely precise, making crisp sounds when it collided with the wooden stakes on the plum blossom pile. The peach blossoms of Taohua Village fell all around, forming a beautiful picture. This picture was particularly charming in the eyes of Lu Linger, who had just woken up. She secretly observed Gu Yichen's sword practice through the crack in the window and couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, this skill is really beyond my imagination. It's even more handsome than the knight I imagined!"

Lu Linger couldn't help but mutter to herself, a somewhat infatuated look in her eyes: "This sword technique is as smooth as flowing water. I'm almost stunned. He's simply the leading man in a martial arts drama!"

Gu Yichen was immersed in swordplay when he suddenly felt a surge of air. He reacted quickly, raising his sword to meet it, only to find Lu Ling'er striking him with her whip. Lu Ling'er's whip danced like a rainbow, its blade shifting swiftly, each strike striking Gu Yichen with pinpoint accuracy. Her movements were swift and fluid, each stroke akin to meticulous calculation, perfectly aligned with the directional layout of the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching.

Gu Yichen sighed inwardly, this martial art was truly extraordinary. He concentrated on countering Lu Ling'er's attacks, his sword flashing as he countered her whip techniques. Although he knew Lu Ling'er's martial arts were superior, he refused to be outdone, doing his best to counter each attack. During this sparring session, Gu Yichen felt that Lu Ling'er's whip techniques were truly as complex as a dragnet, and her lightness skills also demonstrated her exceptional ability to escape, which made him even more curious about Lu Ling'er's martial arts.

Lu Ling'er constantly changed her whip techniques during their sparring session. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, and each swing seemed to be searching for Gu Yichen's weakness. While carefully observing Gu Yichen's reactions, she said with a mischievous smile, "Gu Yichen, your swordsmanship is truly captivating! No wonder you're so handsome, even your martial arts are so stylish!"

Gu Yichen couldn't help but smile: "It seems that I not only need to work hard on my swordsmanship, but also learn how to deal with your crazy comments."

After the sparring, Gu Yichen felt slightly exhausted, but also very satisfied. He looked at Lu Linger and smiled, "Your martial arts are truly extraordinary, worthy of the legendary Heaven's Dragnet."

Lu Linger winked mischievously: "You are also very good. It seems that our sparring is very interesting. We should communicate more in the future and improve each other!"

During their morning exercises, the two not only deepened their understanding of each other but also laid the foundation for future cooperation. The martial arts training ground in the morning light was filled with their laughter and joy. This moment of tacit understanding and cooperation foreshadowed the challenges and growth they would face in the future.
