This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Upon entering the house, Lianxue saw that many people were already meditating and cultivating.

This was a simple communal bed made of wooden planks. There were already many people on the right side, so Lianxue went to the left side and sat down.

Seeing that Lianxue had gone to the side, Qingshu also chose a spot next to Lianxue.

The remaining three people also stood side by side and chose their positions.

Lianxue sat on her berth and began to meditate. The others followed suit and began to meditate as well.

Aside from Qing Shu, Lian Xue wasn't familiar with anyone else here, so she didn't greet them and went straight to cultivation, circulating her spiritual energy throughout her body before returning to her dantian.

Lianxue can now maintain her sword control for two hours. She is a high-level martial artist, equipped with a dagger and talismans for offense and defense, and has a beginner-level footwork technique.

His academic performance is average, neither high nor low compared to his peers.

Several more groups of people entered from outside, and Lianxue could sense that the room was soon full.

Yunzhi led the people into the house. "Children, get up first. We'll give you bedding."

The group immediately stopped meditating, stood up, and bowed politely.

Yunzhi nodded in acceptance and then instructed her subordinates, "Go and distribute the bedding to them."

"Yes!"

The man walked to the first bunk and casually waved his hand, and bedding appeared on the bed. Then, one set was placed on each person in turn. The bedding was very clean and tidy, and had a faint fragrance.

"Alright, you all get some rest tonight. You can discuss and compete with each other tomorrow, but you mustn't hurt anyone. Now, get some rest and take care of your own dinner." Yunzhi said, then turned and left.

"No, fend for yourself? I didn't bring any food!"

"Why! If only I had known! Ah! Ah!"

"Luckily I have something to eat, I'll just have to make do with this hard bread, sigh."

Qingshu whispered, "What's wrong with Xue-meimei?"

Lianxue pondered without responding; she thought this must be a test.

"It's nothing, we can just focus on our cultivation and not worry about it. Tomorrow we'll see." Lianxue glanced around at the other children.

Some were happy that they brought their own food, some were angry that they weren't informed in advance, some were crying quietly, and some were even trying to snatch food from others. It was a complete mess.

Helpless, Lianxue had no choice but to go to the courtyard. There was a peach tree in the courtyard, with its flowers in full bloom and its canopy reaching a hundred feet high. Its branches drooped low, creating a beautiful sight. Lianxue flew down to a branch and began to meditate.

Qingshu did not follow them out; she was watching the commotion inside the house with great interest.

Perhaps because the peach blossoms were fragrant but not cloying, Lianxue quickly entered a state of gazing at me.

Lianxue felt herself flying with the wind and saw several people hidden on the roof. One of them was Yunzhi, and there were two others she didn't recognize, a middle-aged man and a young man. Then she drifted away.

..

From the rooftop, several people could clearly see the situation inside the men's and women's rooms.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Sigh, there aren't many good-natured kids among this group."

The young man glanced at Lian Xue, a slight smile playing on his lips. "That's not necessarily true. It's too early to say."

Yunzhi: "Yes, that's true. They can't tell the difference yet because they're fighting over food."

"Let's wait and see then," the middle-aged man agreed with them.

Lianxue felt the leaves falling, the smoke rising from chimneys, the flags fluttering, and the flowers and grass swaying. "Is this the wind? How wonderful."

Suddenly everything stopped, and her eyes snapped open. Before her stood a woman, who was leaning down and looking at her.

This person was none other than Yuan Yufeng, whom I had met in Fengyu Town.

Lianxue asked warily, "Is there something you need?"

Seemingly sensing Lianxue's wariness, Yuan Yufeng replied, "Can't I come up here if there's nothing wrong? This isn't your home."

Lian Xue felt a headache coming on. "It's not my house, so you can do whatever you want with me, but please don't stare at me while I'm cultivating, thank you."

Yuan Yufeng noticed Lianxue's dissatisfaction, but she didn't care and said, "Oh, I'm just curious, have I seen you before?"

"Now that it's confirmed, please leave." Lianxue was a little angry. That kind of artistic conception wasn't something she could experience all the time, and she had finally managed to capture it for a while, only to have it interrupted.

"Why should I leave? I've already said it's not your home," Yuan Yufeng began.

Lianxue really didn't want to deal with the spoiled woman; she was clearly a pampered princess. She quickly landed under the tree.

She didn't want to go back inside, so based on the feeling she had just experienced, she began to practice her footwork, the Wind Flash Footwork. She drew the wind into her body and channeled spiritual energy into her feet. Through that wondrous state of mind, her legs moved rapidly.

"You, I haven't said anything yet..." Yuan Yufeng wanted to make things difficult for Lianxue, but she saw her turn into a streak of light and run several feet away, causing her to stop speaking before she could finish.

Lian Xue has entered the beginner level of footwork. The beginner level of footwork is Windwalk, which means walking like the wind. Although it cannot reach the speed of the wind, it is still much faster than the average person.

Lianxue was very happy at this moment, finally she had another way to save her life.

He practiced outside for about two hours before returning inside.

The scene inside was too gruesome to bear; several people were wrestling, pulling hair, grabbing clothes, and clinging to legs—it was a truly brutal fight.

"What's going on?" Lianxue asked, looking at Qingshu who was gesturing wildly.

"Ah! They started fighting over food, and it didn't even start," Qing Shu said, stopping what she was doing when she saw Lian Xue return.

"See that short-haired one? She just proudly said she had prepared plenty of food."

The one with the monkey-like face told her to hand it over, but the one with short hair refused, and their words were somewhat aggressive.

And that's how it happened; once the two of them made a move, everyone who came with them joined in.

"Of course, there were also people trying to break up the fight, but somehow they ended up fighting themselves. As long as this fire doesn't spread to us, I'm happy to watch," Qing Shu said, her eyes fixed on the group of people fighting.

“Yes, if it’s none of our business, we don’t need to pay attention to it.” Lian Xue agreed with Qing Shu’s words, and the remaining three also remained silent in tacit agreement.

"It seems I won't be able to cultivate tonight," Lian Xue said with a worried expression. She was only concerned with improving her cultivation level quickly, and now she could only wait.

Just then, someone drew a weapon and slashed at the other person. Lian Xue frowned slightly. This wasn't a life-or-death duel, so why was this happening?

One girl was slashed, another's arm was stained with blood, his white clothes were soaked. Seemingly stimulated by the bloodshed, several more people took out weapons, and some even used their own teammates to defend themselves.

Seeing that someone was about to die, Lianxue gave a look, signaling one of the girls who had come with her to go and call for help.

The girl was a little scared. She knew that if she didn't go to find someone, someone would really die. But she still ran out shakily.

Lianxue channeled her spiritual power and shouted, "Stop! Do you know what you're doing?"

"Who are you? What business is it of yours? If you don't want to die, get lost!" the monkey-faced woman shouted.

Qing Shu was displeased when she heard her scolding Lian Xue. "And who are you? Don't be so arrogant. Do you want to kill someone? You're so vicious at such a young age."

"Haha! Sisters, aren't they hilarious? Tell them what the cultivation world is!" The monkey-faced woman laughed wildly before calming down.

"Hehe, oh dear! It's a battleground now, it's either you die or I die."

“Even so, you shouldn’t kill people just to fill your stomachs. There are many ways to get food; you can buy or exchange it. That’s not an excuse for you to rob and kill.” Lian Xue spoke loudly using her spiritual power.
