Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Lu Yunshi sighed as he recalled the main reason for this scene.

As Lu Yunxi's bodyguard who has followed her since childhood, Lu Yunshi, who is not particularly strong than other bodyguards, has a reason for following her all the way. The reason is that he is good at taking care of people.

He was both a bodyguard and a male attendant, taking care of Lu Yunxi, who was still a young girl, all the way up to now, keeping her looking beautiful and healthy. So even though Lu Yunxi's side has changed batch after batch of people, Lu Yunshi has always stayed with her.

Of course, it's normal for the owner to have some strange requests.

Remember when the two had been in the academy for less than half a year, Lu Yunshi went up the mountain as usual to prepare a day's worth of food for Lu Yunxi, but he didn't expect to run into Lu Yunxi feeling annoyed and impatient because of her suitor.

As a guard, it is only natural to try to solve problems for your master, and you should even try to prevent trouble from happening in the first place.

This time, however, it was obvious that Lu Yunshi underestimated his son's charm. He didn't expect that after only half a year, a suitor would come to his door to propose. So, for the time being, there was no good solution.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't have it, as long as Lu Yunxi does.

At that moment, Lu Yunxi pointed directly at Lu Yunshi.

“If you can love me more than this man, I will consider your request,” Lu Yunxi said at that time.

Ok? ? ?

Who do I love?

I love her?

A confused tree bears confused fruit; beneath the confused tree are you and me.

Lu Yunxi's words stunned not only others, but also Lu Yunshi, who spent every day with her.

The suitor, like everyone else, couldn't believe that Lu Yunxi would actually bring over a piece of trash from the mountains to compete with her.

Of course, not all people on the mountain are trash talkers. Perhaps it was to maintain his composure in front of Lu Yunxi, or perhaps he believed he had the upper hand in this comparison. So, at that time, the suitor did not immediately attack Lu Yunshi, who was his rival. Instead, he seriously competed with Lu Yunshi in pursuing Lu Yunxi, trying to prove his love.

Before this, Lu Yunshi did Lu Yunxi's laundry and cooking, running errands for her like a lackey for more than ten years without anyone noticing.

But after that, everything Lu Yunshi did for Lu Yunxi came into the view of others, and since others were unaware of their master-servant relationship, these actions were also seen as a way of pursuing her.

Lu Yunshi felt that Lu Yunxi might be trying to use his 'love' for her as a shield to avoid all unnecessary trouble.

So from then on, in addition to his daily tasks, Lu Yunshi had an extra task: to let others know how much he loved Lu Yunxi.

As long as Lu Yunshi loves Lu Yunxi more than anyone else, no one will be so tactless as to bother Lu Yunxi anymore.

This method... um...

Lu Yunshi felt there must be a better solution, as long as he thought about it more.

For example, beating up the other party won't solve the problem, but violence will certainly get rid of the person who raised the problem.

As long as enough people are involved, the problem will naturally disappear. Lu Yunshi believed that his daughter...the young lady had the ability.

However, perhaps the young lady didn't want to appear so violent to outsiders, so she didn't use this most direct method.

Regardless, the young lady had already proposed a plan, and as her servant, Lu Yunshi naturally had no choice but to execute it, using every means to let others know about his 'love'.

That suitor, and all the others, were humbled by Lu Yunshi's advances.

Although a few fools tried to embarrass Lu Yunshi, wasn't bravely facing these troubles also a way of proving Lu Yunshi's 'love'?

Similarly, waiting on time every day for the past two and a half years is just one of the means of proving this.

Can waiting every day represent 'love'?

Of course, it wasn't possible at first. Others would only see Lu Yunshi's daily routine of waiting several hours early as stupid, and Lu Yunshi himself only saw it as a simple check-in activity without giving it any further meaning.

Because the meaning of this action does not need to be given by himself.

Once you've been doing something for a long time, everything changes.

Even if Lu Yunshi doesn't explain why he went there, people will continue to speculate about his actions, and these speculations will obviously all be related to Lu Yunxi.

Isn't this exactly what 'love' is?

"Phew~" Lu Yunshi breathed out a sigh of relief as he fell off the rock, looking helplessly at Lu Yunxi who was slowly walking towards him.

The other person stood in front of him, looking down at him with disdain in their eyes.

"Recognize your place. If you don't do things right, you will be punished. Just like before, come and spar with me. I'll beat you down, or it'll end when you touch the hem of my clothes."

Actually, there's no need to look for reasons.

Upon hearing Lu Yunxi's words, Lu Yunshi thought to himself that she simply wanted to beat him up.

For example, yesterday, the other party's reason was that they put too little salt in the dish they cooked. Speaking of which, my daughter wasn't always this temperamental girl. When did she turn out this way?

Lu Yunshi slowly stood up, his expression towards Lu Yunxi had become respectful, and he made an attacking gesture.

"Please show mercy, young lady."

Lu Yunxi smiled, like the warm spring sun, but the next second, that warm sun turned into the cold winter ice.

A fist, three times heavier than before, landed heavily on Lu Yunshi, sending him flying again without any resistance before crashing down.

"Hmm, as expected, these two punches were 30% heavier on average than the punches from a few days ago. It seems that he is indeed more hot-tempered than before, or has his cultivation improved again? That's a good thing."

While enduring the pain, Lu Yunshi idly analyzed some even more trivial matters.

"Get up. Don't try to play dead. This isn't your limit." Lu Yunxi suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yunshi with a cold face, seemingly unwilling to hit a helpless fish lying on the ground.

"There's no such thing as faking death. It's just that the gap between us is too big," Lu Yunshi said with a sigh as he stood up, clutching his chest.

What he said wasn't wrong; all cultivation realms in this world have been roughly divided into nine levels by our predecessors, namely:

Body Tempering - Spirit Absorption - Mountain Moving - Sea Gathering - Primordial Chaos - Body Breaking - Void God - Dao Lord - Tai Xuan

In addition, below each major realm, there are four minor realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and ultimate stage.

As for Lu Yunxi, she is not only attractive in appearance, but her talent and physique are also worthy of her face. At the age of only fifteen, she has already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

In comparison, Lu Yunshi, who is two years older than the other, is only at the mid-stage of Body Tempering. It should be noted that the two entered the academy at almost the same time and started cultivating at the same time.

The difference between body tempering and spirit absorption is like a child with nothing to do with an adult with a gun. There is almost no need to compare a body tempering cultivator who is only in the stage of tempering the body with a spirit absorption cultivator who has already begun to absorb spiritual energy.

While the difference in resources between the two is certainly a factor, talent also plays a significant role.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunshi's talent was far inferior to Lu Yunxi's, and he was not as good as the others.

Normally, even if a disciple from the foot of the mountain entered the academy at the same time as Lu Yunshi, their cultivation level should be at the late stage of Body Tempering.

Of course, Lu Yunshi himself didn't care about these things. The matter at hand was obviously more important. The severity of the beating would determine his mental state after he went down the mountain today.

Just as Lu Yunxi had expected, Lu Yunshi fought back very hard.

But just like the difference in their levels of skill, he tried his best, but was then kicked to the ground with a few punches and kicks.

After catching his breath, Lu Yunshi looked at Lu Yunxi, whose fierceness had subsided somewhat, and struggled to get up. He picked up the lunchbox he had placed on the ground and handed it to her, smiling faintly.

"Miss, today's dishes are all your favorites."

Seeing Lu Yunshi clearly in pain but enduring it in front of her, Lu Yunxi seemed even more satisfied. She nodded slightly, took the lunchbox, and opened it. Puffs of hot steam instantly billowed out, along with a fragrant aroma.

This lunchbox is specially made; one feature is its heat preservation function, and another is its hidden compartment. Although it looks small, it can perfectly hold three meals a day.

Moreover, they can be stored separately to prevent flavors from mixing, which Lu Yunshi was quite satisfied with.

However, thinking about how he was ripped off with a lot of spirit coins when he bought this thing, he felt a little uncomfortable.

During the meal, Lu Yunxi acted like a quiet young lady, making it hard to imagine the cold ferocity she had displayed when she beat him up earlier. Seeing that she obediently started eating without saying much, Lu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that today was over.

After a while, Lu Yunshi took out a bronze watch, checked the time, and said to Lu Yunxi.

"Miss, it's almost time, class is about to start."

Lu Yunxi did not reply, but silently got up and stared at Lu Yunshi.

Seeing this, Lu Yunshi, as if he had been prepared, took out a letter from his person and handed it to the other party personally. This was another way to express his 'love'.

A love letter, one every day, without fail.

Lu Yunxi calmly accepted the letter, opened it, and after reading it for a while, her expression gradually turned disgusted. She threw the letter back and gave her own evaluation.

"nausea."

"I'm sorry, I'll definitely write better next time." Lu Yunshi smiled and held the letter in his hand.

He was not surprised by this assessment, after all, the content of this letter was indeed somewhat cheesy.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. With Lu Yunshi's own talent, apart from putting a lot of effort into writing some love letters at the beginning, he could only write by quoting classical texts later on.

To put it bluntly, it's copying other people's work.

Romance novels found on the street, quotes about love from some important figure, or even the life story of some womanizer—these are pieced together here and there, and in the end, they all seem plausible.

This time was different. Since the above had been copied to a great extent, in order to avoid too much repetition, Lu Yunshi decided not to copy for the time being. Just then, he encountered a simp confessing his love, and that gave him inspiration.
