Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Hongyao took the two sisters, whose faces were covered in tears, back to the house. Seeing that they were both listless, she told them to go and sleep for a while.

After the two sisters had fallen asleep head to head, Hongyao locked the room, went back to Xuan Nu, and told her about how she and Lin's father had become sworn siblings.

Xuan Nu frowned slightly after hearing this, but it wasn't because she disliked the red peony.

“If you don’t truly want it, there’s no need for you to acknowledge such an elder brother in the sect.”

Hongyao was pleased with Xuan Nu's concern: "Sect Leader, rest assured, although we spoke hastily just now, it's not like I haven't considered it."

"The Lin family is indeed a good family, and I like the sisters Yinyin and Jingjing very much. Recognizing this sworn brother will put the Lin family at ease, and it will also give me another place to go, right?"

Xuan Nu understood the sincerity in her words, and thus stopped trying to persuade her.

Hongyao came out of the house and, seeing that it was about time, went back and gently woke up Yinyin and her sister: "It's time for dinner."

Lin Jingjing rubbed her eyes and got up, while Yinyin hugged the blanket and swayed on the bed. Finally, she bumped into the pile of blankets and fell asleep on the spot.

Hongyao found it amusing, while Lin Jingjing, unfazed, stepped forward to try and pull Yinyin out.

However, Yinyin held the blanket tightly, and when she was pulled, the blanket moved along with her.

Lin Jingjing's attempt failed at first, but in the end, it was Hongyao who stepped in, separating Yinyin from the blanket and making her sit properly.

Yinyin yawned, and it took her a while to recognize the person helping her get dressed: "Aunt Hongyao, Yinyin can dress herself!"

Hongyao stopped what she was doing upon hearing this: "Really? Then Yinyin, try it on yourself first?"

Yinyin slid off the bed, picked up the clothes, looked at them for a while, then spread them out on the side of the bed. She then leaned back against the bed, found the right spot, and put her hands into the sleeves. When she got up again, her hands were basically out of the sleeves.

Hongyao's face was full of smiles, and she was about to praise her when she saw her take the belt and go to her sister.

Yinyin wasn't embarrassed at all, and explained to Hongyao, "Yinyin can button her clothes, but not this!"

"The belt is too long, it takes several wraps to tie it. Yinyin can tie it, but she can never get it tight enough, and it doesn't look good," Lin Jingjing concluded. "Yinyin is still young, it will be fine when she grows up."

Hongyao nodded, but did not step forward to help. However, she gained a better impression of Lin Jingjing.

After the two women changed their clothes, Hongyao took their hands and led them out with satisfaction.

After about an afternoon, the news that two new children had arrived at the gate had spread throughout the gate. As soon as Yinyin entered the dining area, she felt that many people were secretly watching her.

However, both Yin Yin and Lin Jingjing were used to being watched, so they didn't find it special and even huddled together to whisper.

Hongyao, who had initially thought the two sisters would be shy, was surprised to realize in a moment that the two sisters were different from the other new children.

Children who are neglected, beaten, or abandoned by their families, or who wander the streets and suffer the cold stares of others, are naturally different from those who grow up being pampered by their families.

The food inside the Xuan Nu Sect was naturally incomparable to what they ate at home, but neither Yin Yin nor Lin Jingjing said anything.

Although Yin Yin didn't like the food, she could still eat. Lin Jingjing had heard her parents mention it beforehand and was mentally prepared. Seeing that her younger sister was eating well, she, as the older sister, couldn't very well throw a tantrum, so she also ate some.

Seeing that the two of them were eating by themselves, and that Yin Yin was even careful not to spill the rice in her bowl, the elders in the family who knew their identities were somewhat surprised and felt more respect for them.

What's not to like a pretty child who can eat by himself?

The next day, the Yin Yin sisters officially began learning the basics of martial arts. After Hong Yao dropped them off, she went about her own business.

When someone delivered the gifts, Lin's father came along once, but he didn't see his daughter. He said a few words to Hongyao and then went down the mountain.

In addition to the rice, flour, oil, and salt mentioned earlier, Lin's father, knowing that the Xuan Nu Sect did not abstain from meat, specially sent two slaughtered and castrated pigs.

Besides that, there were the personal belongings of the Yin Yin sisters that he had mentioned, a few books, and an extra gift prepared for Hong Yao, his newly recognized younger sister.

After the first day of martial arts training, Yin Yin and Lin Jingjing were like wilted eggplants, feeling weak and unable to walk.

However, Yinyin still looked at Lin Jingjing with admiration: "Sister, you are so amazing! You were able to do so many exercises!"

Lin Jingjing was feeling down, and hearing her sister's praise didn't cheer her up much: "But that's because Aunt Xiangsi, who teaches us, reduced the amount of food for me. I could barely finish it. Everyone else is better than me."

“But they’ve been practicing for much longer,” Yin Yin quickly comforted her. “When you’ve practiced for as long as they have, you’ll definitely catch up with them, or even surpass them!”

Hearing what she said, Lin Jingjing also felt that she could do it: "Yinyin, you're right. I just haven't learned it before. Once I practice slowly, I'll definitely be no worse than them."

"But I'm so tired right now," Lin Jingjing said, and then wanted to just lie down on the blanket.

Yinyin quickly grabbed her: "Sister, there's so much dirt on your clothes, are you going to sleep with the dirt?"

“That won’t do,” Lin Jingjing said, immediately snapping out of her daze.

Although she was almost exhausted, her obsession with cleanliness remained. Besides, they were inside the mountain gate, and there were no servants to wash her bedding.

Lin Jingjing mustered her last bit of strength to fetch some water and wash her and her sister's faces and hands. She changed out of her dirty clothes, put a clean towel on the pillow, and then went to sleep with her sister.

It wasn't that she disliked the pillow material; it was just that she and her sister's hair was very sweaty. While dirt wasn't a problem, there was still a bit of dust. However, they were too young to wash their own hair, and if they didn't use towels to cushion their hair, the pillowcases would have to be washed.

When Hongyao returned to the room after finishing her work, she saw the two sisters already fast asleep.

She didn't wake them up, but took out some medicated oil from the cabinet and started massaging the two little ones.

Lin Jingjing was too tired to wake up, but Yinyin opened her eyes groggily: "Aunt Hongyao is back."

"Yinyin, have you eaten yet?" Hongyao asked, seeing Yinyin nod with difficulty. "Go to sleep, you have to get up early to practice your skills tomorrow."

Yinyin was sleepy and tired. When she heard her say to go to sleep, she closed her eyes immediately. As for getting up early to practice martial arts, she didn't know anything about it and didn't hear anything at all.
