Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

"Lu Yunshi!"

"What's wrong, Miss? Did someone bully you again?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not someone who can be bullied. They're afraid of me and would rather stay far away from me."

"Yes, yes, so what brings you here today, my most powerful and greatest lady who only has me as her friend? Surely it's not just to disturb my reading?"

"What are you reading? You're not allowed to read."

"Not reading books? Heh... or are you going to read them?"

"(??): What did you say??? Don't talk nonsense, die!"

"(,,?Д?) Talk is talk, jokes are jokes, but don't hit me, I'm just kidding, I'm really just kidding, boss."

“.(??ve v??) Hmph.”

"Stop groaning. We've already hit you. Let's get to the point. It hurts like hell."

"Well... since you gave me that encyclopedia before, I'll give you a gift."

"( ﹁ ﹁ ) ~→ You still remember to give me a gift? And if I remember correctly, you stole that book, didn't you?"

"Wha...what do you mean by 'steal'? Even you belong to me, so why can't I even look at a book? (°ー°〃)"

"So, what about the gift?"

"this is for you."

"This...rainbow flower?"

"Well, aren't you my bodyguard? And you swore to me that you would protect me for life. I think this flower is quite suitable, and... and it's also very pretty. Anyway, you have to accept it. You can't refuse, and you can't lose it."

"...Sigh, ╮(﹀_﹀”)╭ I just can't do anything with you, giving me something so childish. Oh well, thank you anyway, I'll keep it safe."

"Who are you calling a child? (╬￣皿￣)"

............

"hiss......"

Lu Yunshi opened his eyes and was immediately stung by the sunlight streaming in through the window. It took him a while to recover.

Seriously, he actually fell asleep.

But when you're asleep, is it a dream or...?

It's not like I can just have fragmented memories of my past life and forget a lot of my memories of this life as well.

Lu Yunshi looked at the "Encyclopedia of the Human Realm, Volume One" that he had left open on the table. After a while, he sighed helplessly, closed the book, and prepared to put it back on the bookshelf, only to find that something had fallen out of it.

Looking down, I saw that what had fallen to the ground was a flower, or more accurately, a flower that had been made into a bookmark.

Having been sandwiched between books for so long, it naturally couldn't escape the ravages of time, but the seven colors on the flower can still be discerned.

Lu Yunshi remained silent for a long time, but then he heard a knock on the door. He quickly picked up the seven-colored bookmark, put it back in the book, and then spoke.

"Please come in."

"Boss!" The voice of the fifth sister, Li Hongying, rushed in along with the sound of the door opening, and soon the lively girl was seen clinging to Lu Yunshi.

Lu Yunshi had no choice but to pull it off himself and then asked.

"Why are you here? If I remember correctly, it's almost time for class."

Li Hongying took two steps back, hands behind her back, but only two. "Hehe, I'm just passing on a message to you, boss."

"News?" Lu Yunshi asked, puzzled.

"Well, didn't you ask Lao Qi to investigate something before? Lao Qi found out the key information, so I came to tell you."

"Really?" Lu Yunshi stared at Li Hongying suspiciously. "Seventh Brother should be the one reporting to me, why are you the one doing it?"

"Mmm~~ Boss, I just missed you." Li Hongying hugged Lu Yunshi and started to whine. "Don't you know me? If I don't see you for a day, I feel itchy all over, especially down there..."

"Sigh, alright, alright, stop messing with me. If you keep talking, it'll cost a different price. Tell me the information first." Lu Yunshi frowned with a look of disgust.

"Hehe, okay, according to Old Seven..."

After a while, Lu Yunshi listened to all the information that Lao Qi had investigated from Li Hongying, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

"It seems the trouble really comes from the mountains. In that case, we can only ask the animals with more sensitive noses. But let's put this matter aside for now. Take these things, keep a portion of the cultivation resources for yourself, and divide the rest among Lao Ba and the others. As for the money, you can discuss what you want to buy."

"Then take out half of the resources we left behind and distribute some to the others who are still with us and whom we can trust. This assessment isn't just for the two of us; there are other people as well, and I plan to bring as many as possible with me."

Feeling the resources inside the storage ring in her hand, Li Hongying couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"Wow~ Boss, so much money, you didn't go out and sell yourself, did you?"

"Shut your filthy mouth. If I were to actually go out and sell myself to support you, you might as well go out and commit seppuku and stop getting in my way."

After Lu Yunshi finished speaking, he took out a clock and glanced at it, his expression becoming tense.

"I'm doomed. I can't pretend I've been waiting for a long time this time, and it looks like I'll be late again. I wonder how many punches I'll get."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yunshi didn't want to waste any more time with Li Hongying, so he simply walked past her.

"Boss, really, it's that woman again... I hope he doesn't actually fall for her." Looking at Lu Yunshi's flustered appearance, Li Hongying muttered to herself with a hint of jealousy.

However, Li Hongying seemed to realize something soon, and her face flushed.

"But the eldest brother looks so cute and handsome when he sleeps. It's a pity he didn't sleep longer."

As they were talking, Li Hongying naturally sat down in Lu Yunshi's chair, burying her head in his chair as if imitating him, and then took a deep breath.

On the other side, Lu Yunshi, unaware of what outrageous things his fifth sister was doing in his room, covered his face and walked through the crowd, not wanting to be recognized.

I hope that the persona I've maintained for so long won't crumble just because I missed a single day.

The problem should be minor, but if Lu Yunxi finds out, she'll probably get punched a couple more times.

Come to think of it, I didn't write a love letter or cook a meal this time.

Damn it, if I had known, I would have bought one on the way and just made do with it for now.

More importantly, should I use talismans to be lazy today?

Lu Yunxi has already seen through my plan. Using it might make her even angrier, but not using it... will only cause me more pain.

To Lu Yunshi's surprise, he wasn't beaten when he arrived at Lu Yunxi's house today, because she seemed to be in seclusion in her bedroom cultivating.

That's right. We finally obtained the Purple Cloud Root, so of course we should cultivate it properly.

Lu Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very lucky to have escaped a disaster. He knew he must never be so careless again.

Although Lu Yunxi was in seclusion to cultivate, Lu Yunshi did not leave. Instead, he went inside and planned to cook a meal for her at home and do some housework.

He used to do this, and he still does it often now, so it's nothing special; he just treats it as taking care of the children.

The students' residences on the mountain have special spirit locks; if they cannot be opened in a way known only to the owner, they can only be destroyed by force.

However, if it is destroyed by force, it will attract the attention of the Enforcement Council. Forcibly breaking into someone's residence is a very serious crime, and committing it will result in expulsion from the academy.

Therefore, with the protection of the spirit lock, the students on the mountain are quite safe in their own homes.

However, as a guard, Lu Yunshi knew how to enter Lu Yunxi's house.
