“Okay,” Yinyin readily agreed, even with a hint of anticipation.

In the original storyline, these newly acquainted "friends" may not have had much contact with Lin Jingjing, but almost every single one of them could not forget her.

If they still harbor ulterior motives towards Lin Jingjing, what kind of expression will Young Master Xiaoyuan, their future brother-in-law, have when they meet these people?

Although it might seem a bit like she's just stirring up trouble, Yin Yin is genuinely looking forward to it.

It's all because Young Master Xiaoyuan was concerned about the Third Young Master's side but didn't consider the Lin family's wishes, and directly brought strangers to their door.

Although Lin Jingjing was also present, she was, after all, her older sister and didn't know that the Third Young Master had ill intentions. Yin Yin couldn't bear to blame him, so the rest of her dislike was directed at Young Master Xiao Yuan.

Yin Yin doesn't really like looking back, but she still finds Young Master Xiao Yuan and the Third Young Master more endearing when they're still young.

As people grow up, they develop their own thoughts and ideas, and become more concerned about the interests of all parties, gradually becoming different.

However, this is inevitable; no one can guarantee that they will be the same as they were when they were a child after they grow up.

No, not really.

Yinyin glanced at her older sister beside her and thought to herself.

Isn't there one right here? He's had this personality since he was a child, and he's even become more and more naive as he gets older. I guess he'll live like this for the rest of his life.

Lin Jingjing noticed her sister's gaze, took her hand, and the two sisters, just like when they were little, went into the main room intimately.

Knowing that Yin Yin would be leaving soon, Lin Jingjing didn't go out much and often stayed with her.

However, being in the same room as Yin Yin inevitably meant being watched while practicing martial arts.

After only two days, Lin Jingjing couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go out and have fun.

"Yinyin," Lin Jingjing asked her, "Don't you get bored practicing all the time in your room? Why don't we go to the lotus pond?"

"Some of the early-blooming varieties are already in bloom. Wouldn't it be wonderful to practice our skills while admiring the lotus flowers?"

Where to practice martial arts would affect Lin Jingjing's slacking off, but it wouldn't affect Yin Yin much. She quickly agreed to Lin Jingjing's idea and followed her to the lotus pond.

However, having already visited the lotus pond, it's natural that other scenic spots around the house would also be included.

Under the wisteria trellis with only a few scattered flowers, under the grape trellis that had just begun to bear fruit, and beside the pavilion planted with roses, were all places that Lin Jingjing often suggested.

A few days later, Yin Yin couldn't help but ask, "Sister, were you feeling a bit stifled because it wasn't convenient for you to go out while you were inside the mountain gate?"

“That’s true,” Lin Jingjing said. “Although Master doesn’t forbid us from going out, the scenery at Yaochi Palace is quite nice.”

"But after seeing the same things for so many years, they've become commonplace and nothing new anymore."

Lin Jingjing sighed: "Now I can tell what season it is and what flowers are blooming in what places when I look out of our window, even with my eyes closed."

Yin Yin really couldn't refute that.

Because she had lived in Yaochi Palace for a longer time, she had seen almost all the scenery that Lin Jingjing had seen, and she had also noticed all the small changes that Lin Jingjing had missed over the years.

However, Yin Yin was already used to living in one place and did not find such a life unbearable.

After all, she goes out almost twice a year.

Once, in the summer, they went out to sea to Pengshan; the other time, in the winter, they went home for the Chinese New Year.

One long trip would last for half a year, and for the rest of the time, Yin Yin was happy to stay in Yaochi Palace and not go out.

Aside from the fact that Yin Yin really doesn't like to travel too far with today's traffic, she also understands very well that...

If we learn more from the wise and virtuous teacher, the benefits will extend far beyond this lifetime.

Now, Yin Yin is clinging to Xuan Nu and has already learned a lot of new things.

Besides swords, spears, and halberds, the Mysterious Maiden also taught Yin Yin the methods of attacking with sound and how to sense the natural world, which was a different method from the Qi observation taught by the Half-Immortal.

The days passed by with Yin Yin's diligence and Lin Jing Jing's occasional bursts of energy and moments of slacking off.

When Xuan Nu arrived at the town near the Lin family, Yin Yin received the news in advance and went to say goodbye to her parents, planning to wait for Xuan Nu on her usual route.

Lin's parents already knew about this, so apart from feeling a little surprised, they weren't too bothered.

But when they saw that Yin Yin had packed her things and was ready to leave, while Lin Jingjing remained motionless, they couldn't help but wonder: "Jingjing, aren't you going to pay your respects to His Majesty?"

Lin Jingjing said somewhat shyly, "My kung fu hasn't improved much in the past six months, so I'm a little afraid to see my master."

Mr. and Mrs. Lin were taken aback by this reason and were speechless for a moment.

Yinyin, however, was not surprised at all and could still talk to her as usual: "Master doesn't scold people, at most he'll just give us a little slap on the wrist. The longer you delay, the more unhappy Master will be, right?"

"How could that be?" Lin Jingjing said, somewhat unsure of herself. "I'll practice more at home this summer, later on."

"When I get to my master, I'll at least have one or two things I can show off, and she definitely won't be angry."

Even Yin Yin felt a headache coming on after hearing this.

Before, when they were in the mountain gate, it was alright because she was always trying to spur them on. But now that they are far apart, Yin Yin really has no way to deal with her.

Finally, it was Lin's father who spoke up: "Yinyin, you go first. The matter with His Majesty cannot be delayed."

Yinyin then went out.

After Yinyin left, seeing that her father was now paying attention to her, Lin Jingjing immediately made an excuse and returned to her own small building.

Lin's parents, who were left behind, exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of helplessness.

Finally, Lin's mother spoke first: "Jingjing used to act like a big sister, but now it seems like Yinyin is the older sister and she is the younger sister."

Mr. Lin shook his head: "This can't go on. We need to think of a solution."

"Otherwise, over time, even if Jingjing still holds the title of the eldest disciple of Yaochi Palace, her relationship with the Venerable One will become distant."

Yinyin didn't know what her parents were worried about. She rode her horse to the pre-arranged location early.

Less than half an hour later, Xuan Nu and her companions arrived at this place.

"Master!"

Yinyin lifted the curtain and spurred her horse forward.

Xuan Nu wasn't surprised to see that she was alone, but Hong Yao paused for a moment.

"Dismount," Xuan Nu said, seeing Yin Yin. She stopped rushing and drew her sword, leaping into the nearby woods.

Yinyin stuck out her tongue at Hongyao quietly: "Auntie, could you keep an eye on the horses for me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Yin drew her sword and chased after him.

Hongyao stayed where she was, tethering all three horses to the tree. Hearing the rustling of leaves in the woods, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

These two, master and apprentice!
