Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

"Sigh! Another day without any progress in my cultivation." In the academy cafeteria, Lu Yunshi looked gloomy, and even the delicious food in front of him tasted bland.

Li Hongying, standing beside him, looked surprised upon hearing this. "Boss, I heard from that woman that you sleep all day and don't cultivate much. Does sleeping count as cultivation?"

"You don't know anything. I only slept because the energy consumed by cultivation was too high, so I could only fall asleep. But I slept for several days and still didn't make any breakthroughs. Heaven-rank combat skills... they live up to their reputation."

Lu Yunshi shook his head. He wasn't lying. Although the combat skills he obtained from the library were of the Heaven Rank, the insights he gained when he recognized the combat skills were real. He was just trying to digest those insights.

However, those Heaven-rank combat skills were indeed not as easy as Earth-rank combat skills. Just thinking about them made Lu Yun's head throb from time to time, so he spent most of his time lying in bed during this period.

I wonder how others have come to understand this?

They're probably in a better situation than I am, after all, their cultivation level is higher.

"If you ask me, Boss, you finally escaped from Lu Yunxi's clutches today, so you should get some rest," the sixth brother advised.

"Uh...that's true." Lu Yunshi hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He really did come out today.

That's right. At this moment, he still hasn't moved out of Lu Yunxi's house, and in some ways, he doesn't even have a home anymore.

He remembered that day when he secretly returned home and found that his house had been broken into and everything was gone.

However, Lu Yunshi quickly realized something was wrong. The academy's buildings weren't places that just anyone could enter. There were only a few people who could enter his house without his permission.

Then...then Lu Yunshi met Lu Yunxi and discovered that she had taken the initiative to move him to a new place.

What was the reason?

As a guard, he should always be by her side. He didn't have that opportunity before, but now that he's a high school student and they live in the same place, things can't be the same as before.

That sounds like it makes a lot of sense.

Fart!

Recently, there have been more and more rumors about the two of them in the college. Although Lu Yunshi doesn't seem to care much, Lu Yunxi... seems to have chosen to ignore it directly, and just snorts at anyone who asks about it.

But what if this news gets back to Lu Yunxi's mother someday?

That old guy didn't give me a friendly look.

Of course, living with Lu Yunxi isn't such a bad thing; it's just about serving her.

It was the same before. Even after living with Lu Yunxi, Lu Yunshi was surprised to find that Lu Yunxi would actually do things with him.

Such as cooking.

Although she completely ignored her own advice as a real chef while making it, although she created an inedible, viscous substance, although she was so angry that her face turned red, although she smashed up the kitchen afterwards, and although she had no choice but to eat barbecue for half a month afterward, she still tried her best.

This is a very important change, so much so that Lu Yunshi decided not to let Lu Yunxi see the kitchen anymore.

Look, everything is changing for the better.

However, Lu Yunshi had to say that, aside from the rumors that don't matter, there are some inconveniences when a man and a woman live in the same place.

That's right, he's going to give another example next.

For example, let's assume that Lu Yunshi has a brother, and this brother... is Lao Ba.

"Boss, what are you looking at?" The eighth brother, who was busy cooking, looked at his boss who was looking at him strangely and felt very strange.

"It's nothing." Lu Yunshi smiled gently. "I was just wondering how you've been lately."

"Not bad...? What's wrong?" Lao Ba answered Lu Yunshi's question with some surprise. His intuition told him that Lu Yunshi was not looking at him out of concern. His understanding of Lu Yunshi also made him feel that Lu Yunshi's smile was malicious. But his mind told him that even if he asked Lu Yunshi, he would not tell him the truth.

So let's continue eating. The food on top definitely tastes much better than the food on the bottom. I haven't gotten tired of it even after all these days.

Lu Yunshi looked at Lao Ba and nodded with satisfaction.

Let's continue with the assumptions.

As a single man, Lao Ba lives with a woman with whom he has a close but not romantic or familial relationship. However... as a hot-blooded young man, shouldn't Lao Ba have some less-than-clean, less-than-pleasant things to say about him?

For example, there are classic books like "The Golden Lotus Uproots Ximen Qing" and "The Stone Monkey Battles the Three-Eyed Mother," which are simple and unadorned but are not easily known to outsiders.

Of course, Lu Yunshi swore that he, his brothers, and his eighth brother did not read these things because of anything indescribable; they were simply for the purpose of appreciating the literature.

No matter what kind of book it is, if so many people read it and it is even regarded as a classic, it must have great literary value. That's why Lao Ba read it.

However, these publications were discovered.

At that moment, half of Lao Ba's heart had died, and the remaining half died when the girl burned the book.

The last quarter died when the girl searched out and burned the contents of the eighth brother's storage ring.

He didn't understand why, if it was acceptable to burn it improperly, it had to be burned properly as well.

What did "The Legend of Widow Bai Jie" ever do to you? This is a female-centric novel! There's no romance in it, it's all action!

"Sigh~" Lu Yun sighed, his gaze sweeping over the faces of his brothers, finally settling on the only one who had recently been involved with a woman.

That's right, it's still the eighth one.

Once again under Lu Yunshi's gaze, Lao Ba felt completely uncomfortable. "Boss, if you have a problem with me, just say so, I'll change! You're being really creepy."

"Heh, I don't think you understand anything, Eighth Brother. This is the true art of the emperor. He only needs a glance, without saying a word, to make you guess. Heh! He can make you panic! Heh! Heh!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Ba's face darkened, and he raised his hand to slap Lao Jiu beside him. "Who the hell are you calling Lao Ba?"

This scene caused everyone else present to burst into laughter, finding it extremely amusing.

Lu Yunshi shook his head and explained, "Eighth Brother, I don't have a problem with you. I just want to remind you not to let anyone see anything on you that shouldn't be seen. Don't let anyone hold you hostage, or... your heart will ache."

Seeing Lu Yunshi's melancholy expression, everyone was taken aback.

Could something have happened that upset the boss? I haven't heard anything about it recently.

As they thought about it, everyone looked at Li Hongying. "You're always stalking and spying on the boss, so you must know the most about him."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Li Hongying shrugged. She had indeed followed and stalked him, but she still found it strange.

Although that stinky woman has blocked everything recently, nothing should have happened to the boss.

Could it be... that woman did something?

Could it be something I shouldn't have seen...? Why is Kexin in pain?

"Boss, no matter what happened, just tell us. As long as you tell us, we brothers will definitely help you. If we work together, we can do anything." After hesitating for a moment, the sixth brother finally asked on behalf of everyone.

“No, there’s nothing you can do. What’s lost is lost. What can you do now? It’s all my fault for being so careless back then. They took advantage of me and I couldn’t fight back. I could only be slaughtered.” Lu Yun sighed and gestured to everyone not to say anything more.

'It looks pretty serious.' Everyone's eyes converged, their thoughts clashing, except for Li Hongying, whose face turned pale.

Damn it, could that woman have really taken the boss's body before I did?

Damn it, I thought that woman was more reserved and preferred to control the boss's mind rather than his body, and wouldn't make a move on his body first.

That's why I reluctantly agreed to let my older brother stay at her place, but I didn't expect... you're more adept at this than I am, and I couldn't resist.

Li Hongying felt aggrieved as she thought about it. "Boss, how could you be so careless? That was clearly mine! Couldn't you have been more careful? You're making me so angry!"

"Huh? How can I control myself? I have no way of controlling myself." Lu Yunshi was stunned for a moment, his face full of doubt.

"Just because she's pretty, you listen to her?" Li Hongying was even angrier when she saw this.

“The item is in her hands, there’s nothing I can do,” Lu Yunshi replied, then looked even more puzzled. “Why are you so angry?”

Were you among those things?

No, how did you know I was looking at those things?
