The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Zhou Yifeng looked down at the little girl who was only as tall as his waist. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes.

This girl gave him a weird feeling, it was really weird.

He actually couldn't see through her. She didn't look like the daughter of an ordinary family at all.

Moreover, from what she just said, although it was a question, from her expression and tone, it seemed that she was very sure that he was a martial arts expert and could teach her.

Zhou Yifeng was sure that he had never seen her before.

Just as he was thinking, he saw the girl in front of him quickly take the wooden sword on her back to her front and assume a fighting stance.

"Mr. Zhou, please teach me." Her voice was clear and firm.

Zhou Yifeng no longer hesitated. He put aside the sword in his arms and the bag on his back, and then picked up a nearby branch as a weapon.

"Miss Yun, please enlighten me." He responded.

As the two sides fought each other, Zhou Yifeng's expression gradually became serious.

The girl's swordsmanship does bear some resemblance to the palace guards, but compared to them, it is more concise and varied, and combined with her erratic figure, it makes her difficult to grasp.

Taking the enemy by surprise and winning by speed suits her very well.

If she wasn't so small and weak, she might have been defeated.

Yun Zhi looked at his serious face, quickened her pace, and stabbed at his chest with the wooden sword. When it was almost at his chest, she twisted her wrist and made a feint towards his neck.

Feeling the sword energy coming from his neck, Zhou Yifeng immediately changed the direction of the branch blocking his chest.

After successfully blocking the sword, he reflexively moved the branch in his hand towards Yun Zhi's neck.

Yun Zhi had anticipated this and quickly took a few steps back before he could make any move.

Yun Zhi looked at him, they were three steps apart.

His last move was exposed. He had been playing it safe and steady before, and no one could tell what else he was doing.

The move he just used out of inertia because he sensed danger was a killing move.

The technique and fluency, no surprise...

He's a killer.

Yun Zhi smiled and said, "Please take care of me in the future, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yifeng threw away the branch in his hand, looked at her, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and thought: What a smart and cunning person.

At this time, he naturally realized that Yun Zhi's move just now was a test.

Now, it seems that she has already figured out the information she wanted from her own reaction.

"I have no ill intentions. Just like your father said, I will use my wages to pay off the debt." Zhou Yifeng looked at Yun Zhi and said seriously.

Yun Zhi nodded, "Yeah, I know."

After all, the killer comes to kill people and hides, isn't that what a spy should do?

I just don't know how a killer can be free like him.

No matter where they are, the trained killers will be poisoned to prevent them from rebelling.

Did this person escape successfully, or was he abandoned?

Yun Zhi lowered her eyelashes and thought to herself.

It is rare to find someone with such high martial arts skills at this age.

I just don't know if it has any use value.

Just then, Yun Zhi's parents came out.

Lin Huixin looked at the two people who seemed to be getting along well, smiled and said, "Little brother, I understand everything about you. Let me take you to your place first."

As she spoke, Lin Huixin took Zhou Yifeng and walked towards the yard.

Zhou Yifeng picked up the things on the ground and followed him over. "Okay, thank you."

From then on, Zhou Yifeng lived here.

In addition to teaching Yun Zhi, he would occasionally teach Yun Jingxian.

……

Three years later, March.

The Yun family is now living better and better, and they have hired servants and maids.

The dinner table.

Yun Jingxian is now fifteen years old. He inherited the advantages of his parents and is handsome, like a boy next door.

Thinking about what he wanted to say, he poked Yun Zhi, hoping she would help him speak.

Lin finally caught him red-handed, "Jingxian, what are you doing with Meimei? Eat your meal properly."

Yun Youde looked at his son who was avoiding his gaze and guessed that he probably wanted to say something.

"If you have anything to say, just say it yourself. Leave your sister alone and let her eat well."

Seeing his parents looking at him, Yun Jingxian had no choice but to give it his all. "Dad, um, can you please not go to private school from now on?"

"what happened?"

Lin also looked at her son. What happened?

Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, ordinary families with some wealth would send their children to school in order to obtain a good reputation.

The Yun family is of course no exception.

"Dad, I'm not like my sister. I don't have a talent for studying, and I don't like studying either. But... can I join you in blacksmithing?"

After saying this, he closed his eyes tightly, lowered his head, and looked nervous.

In February of this year, he took the county exam, but as you can imagine, he failed.

After that exam, he understood himself better and realized that he was not cut out for it. He might not be able to pass the exam until he was old and gray-haired.

However, he also knew his parents' expectations, so he persisted day after day for seven years, and it seemed that he had not gained anything except learning to read.

After waiting for a moment, he heard Yun Zhi's voice beside him.

"Mom and Dad, my brother has been working very hard and stays up very late every day. He really doesn't want to disappoint you."

Yun Jingxian has no talent in studying and relies entirely on hard work every day.

When he encountered something he didn't understand, he wouldn't feel embarrassed and would just run to ask Yun Zhi.

Maybe there is a generation gap between geniuses and ordinary people. It takes several times of explanation for them to understand, and sometimes they don’t even understand at all and can only memorize the answer.

He is working really hard, but he is also really tired.

But he didn't dare tell these to his parents and could only tell Yunzhi, so Yunzhi understood his hardships.

"Besides, there are thousands of roads, not just this one."

The imperial examination is considered by the world to be the best path, but there is more than one path.

When Yun Jingxian heard what Yun Zhi said on his behalf, his eyes suddenly turned red.

People are like this. When someone understands them, they can't help but feel wronged.

Yun Jingxian opened his eyes and looked at Yun Zhi.

Wow, my sister is so nice. I want to buy her the jade bracelet she liked yesterday. I just happened to have saved enough money.

Almost all the money that Yun's father gave him was spent on Yun Zhi.

Beautiful cloth, suitable for my sister, I bought it.

Beautiful jewelry, my sister will look great wearing it, so I bought it.

Even the small patch of gardenias in the backyard were planted one by one by Yun Jingxian.

Looking at the person with his head down, "Jingxian, you should have told me earlier. Your mother and I hope you can pass the imperial examination, but we also want you to be happy and not burdened."

"Just like your father and I, we can barely read, but we still live a good life."

"You're already a grown-up, stop crying and eat."

As he said that, he put a piece of meat into his bowl.

"Ah."

After a while, the family started eating happily again.
