Simulated Star Iron: Miracles are yours, death is mine

After dinner, Fei Xiao suddenly asked, "Junior brother, how's your training going these past two years? How about you have a competition with your senior sister later to see how you're progressing?"

She didn't even ask Lin Yuan if he was slacking off, because she couldn't imagine Lin Yuan slacking off.

Although they hadn't seen each other for two years, she and Yue Yu had always kept an eye on Lin Yuan.

Yue Yu goes without saying; she possesses the highest authority in the entire Yaoqing. She can see how many times Lin Yuan has been to the martial arts arena and the library.

She would also chat with Lin Yuan via messages.

Sometimes people from the general's mansion would come from the rear to the front lines on business, and sometimes they could find out some relevant information.

Yueyu's original intention was to let him learn how to handle political affairs in the general's mansion.

Of course, Lin Yuan himself has no power and cannot directly interfere in the affairs of the Immortal Ship. Simply put, he is just an "auditor" in the general's mansion.

But over the past two years, the staff at the General's Mansion have been increasingly praising Lin Yuan.

"You mean Young Master Lin Yuan? That child is truly remarkable."

"Hmm? How is my junior brother?" Fei Xiao asked a friend who worked at the General's Mansion with great curiosity.

The man's lips curled up slightly: "Yes, he has given us advice on some things, and it turns out that his views do have a lot of merit."

For example, we want to demolish an old area on the Azure Immortal Ship and build a new area on that basis.

The experts in the discussion group were divided into two camps: one advocated for developing it into a commercial area, while the other insisted on turning it into an industrial area. The debate raged for several days.

Fei Xiao was puzzled: "Huh? What does this have to do with my junior brother?"

The man was both amused and exasperated: "Young Master carried a small stool and listened to the experts arguing for several days."

Then one weekend, he took the child from the Suyi family to that area for a field visit.

Upon returning, I wrote an investigation report and submitted it to the research group.

"Huh? What did he write?"

"His report argues that it would be more appropriate to build an industrial zone in that area because it needs more jobs to make the local people wealthier, so that more people will spend money on consumption."

"So you just accepted it like that?" Fei Xiao was a little incredulous. "Such a big thing, and my junior brother managed to handle it?"

"That's not the case, but Lin Yuan had already guessed it. He suggested that the experts conduct a more in-depth investigation of that area to understand what the people there really need, so that they can make better decisions."

He also said that one has no right to speak without investigation.

The experts also took the opportunity to pause the debate and restart more in-depth investigations.

After another six months of delays, it was finally decided to build the industrial zone.

"It seems he has lived up to Teacher Yueyu's expectations." Feixiao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite gratified.

"Yes, General Yueyu has found a very good successor. Perhaps he can really do a lot for Yaoqing, but it's a pity..."

The man left before he finished speaking, a hint of regret still lingering in his eyes.

Feixiao understood; that kind of regret was called lifespan.

That was the regret of a long-lived species for a short-lived species.

However, can long-lived species, which live longer than short-lived species, do things better than short-lived species?

Feixiao didn't think so, and neither did Yueyu.

For the Yaoqing people, especially their Yaoqingqiu fox clan, living a brilliant life is more important than living a long life.

This is precisely why Yue Yu chose Lin Yuan.

"Okay, senior sister, shall we go?"

Lin Yuan's words pulled Fei Xiao back from his memories.

"Hmm." Fei Xiao pulled Lin Yuan to the training ground. "Let's do it the same way as before, and let your senior sister see how confident you are in participating in the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony."

Lin Yuan took out his most frequently used wooden sword and assumed a ready stance: "Senior Sister, let's begin!"

He stared intently at Feixiao, while Feixiao's lips curled into a confident smile.

"Om-"

The next moment, a buzzing sound erupted in the air, and Fei Xiao's figure had disappeared.

"So fast!" Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Fei Xiao's speed had actually increased to another level!

At that very moment, the enhanced perception brought by the Glazed Sword Heart made him realize something was amiss.

Without hesitation, he drew his scabbard and used it to block behind him!

"laugh--"

A tremendous force came from the scabbard, almost sending him flying!

Lin Yuan took several steps back before he could barely regain his balance.

"Not bad, your perception has improved." Fei Xiao smiled faintly, playing with the wooden sword in his hand. "Your reaction speed is good."

She had previously used her high-speed movement to get behind Lin Yuan, hoping to catch him off guard, but she was blocked.

However, Lin Yuan knew that the difference in their strength was still huge. This was only less than 40% of his senior sister's strength, yet it still caused him some trouble.

He suppressed the throbbing pain in his hand and observed Qi Xiao's movements once more.

"What? Aren't you going to draw your sword?" Fei Xiao was also somewhat surprised to see that the sword was still in its sheath.

Two years ago, if I had done that to Lin Yuan, she would have knocked me to the ground long ago.

It seems he has made considerable progress; at least he is more composed now.

The next moment, Lin Yuan moved.

He leaped several times and arrived in front of Feixiao, then fiercely drew his wooden sword and slashed at Feixiao.

Feixiao curled his lip in disdain: "Too slow!"

She raised her sword and slashed at Lin Yuan's sword, intending to take the blow head-on.

But a glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. He flipped his wrist, and the blade suddenly increased in speed to an unprecedented level, turning to a strange angle.

"laugh--"

After a barely perceptible soft sound, Fei Xiao noticed a strand of white hair slowly drifting down.

"My, hair?"

Lin Yuan had already circled around to her side, panting heavily, with strands of Fei Xiao's hair still curled on his wooden sword.

"Senior sister, I won." A faint smile appeared on his face.

Fei Xiao finally came to his senses; Lin Yuan had actually cut off his own hair with a wooden sword.

This requires a high level of skill in controlling the force and the speed of the knife.

Of course, if this weren't a wooden sword, then cutting off something far more than just one's own hair would be a different matter.

"Hey, junior brother, you really make your senior sister very happy." Fei Xiao pinched Lin Yuan's cheek with great satisfaction. "You've improved so quickly."

The Glazed Sword Heart truly has its unique features.

"It's just a shortcut. Actually, it's all thanks to my senior sister's excellent teaching. I'm still a long way from being as good as her."

Lin Yuan said a few kind words at the right time, which made Fei Xiao's fox ears twitch and turn around, and he seemed to enjoy it very much.

Fei Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, junior brother, you are indeed very good. As for me, I've decided to use only 30% of my strength."

Good junior brother, good junior brother, you actually cut off your own hair.

Looks like we need to increase the intensity.

Otherwise, you'd be doing a disservice to your hair.

Lin Yuan's smile froze.

Thirty percent of your strength, Senior Sister, you're a devil!

I almost flew through the air with that one strike, I didn't even have 30% of my strength!

I will never laugh again.jpg

Because my smile was transferred to the face of my dear senior sister.

Feixiao took off her coat, revealing her snow-white back and her beautiful figure.

She twisted her arm, her smile growing even more arrogant:

"Come on, junior brother, that was just a warm-up. Play with your sister a little longer!"

The next moment, a dull thud echoed through the training ground, along with Lin Yuan's shouts.

"Senior sister, you're trying to trick me, you're trying to ambush me, you have no sportsmanship!"

"Shout? There are only the two of us here. The teacher isn't here. You can shout until you're hoarse, but it won't do any good!!"

"Senior sister, it hurts so much! Be gentle!"

"Bear with it, the pain on the battlefield is much greater than this."

"You kicked me away, senior sister, don't you love me anymore?"

"I've always loved you, take this!"

"Halftime! I need a halftime break!"

"The upcoming Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony won't be so easy."

"I cried, my senior sister is so mean."

"Crying? Crying counts as time too!"

Don't worry, your senior sister loves you the most. Let your senior sister pamper you!
