My game even includes ancient times

He Shi nodded stiffly, and it took him a while to process the meaning of those few words.

Did the immortal bring him to his cave?

It doesn't look like it at all; this place is so shabby...

Oh right, she just said that this is only a temporary place to stay in this world, which means that her real cave is not here.

Where is her cave dwelling?

He Shi stood there aimlessly, somewhat reserved, not daring to move.

He Yu's main purpose was to test whether He Shi could follow him into the [Homestead]. If he could, his safety would be further guaranteed.

Now that her goal had been achieved, she smiled and put her hands on He Shi's shoulders, turning him around to face the door: "Go and push it."

He Shi paused, then slowly reached out towards the door. His fingertips touched the doorknob, which felt cool and seemed to be just an ordinary metal handle.

He exerted a gentle force, and the wooden door in front of him seemed to be made of paper, and it was easily pushed open.

He Yu was satisfied and patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Go back and get some rest so you can grow up properly."

He Shi subconsciously responded and stepped out of the door.

When he stepped onto the floor of his own house and turned around, there was nothing behind him; not a trace remained.

The magic of the immortals is truly amazing.

He Shi stood straight in the center of the room, remaining silent for a long while.

Meanwhile, in Red Maple Town, a hundred miles away from the Chu Family Manor.

In the pitch-black night, on the deserted streets of the small town, an equally dark figure appeared out of nowhere.

He Yu took a step, her black brocade boots lightly stepping on the fallen red maple leaves. She looked up at the dark buildings around her, determined her direction, and walked towards the end of the long street.

Seven o'clock the next morning.

He Yu woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. She stretched her arm out from under the covers, turned off the alarm, and picked up her phone which was lying next to her.

Yawning, He Yu opened her sleepy eyes and adjusted the game's time flow to ensure that when she logged in tonight, it would be exactly the morning of He Shi's birthday.

With something to look forward to, you become more motivated at work, and a busy day passes quickly.

At 8 p.m., He Yu put the last washed plate into the sterilizer, looked around and, seeing that there was nothing wrong, turned off the lights in the shop and went upstairs.

The weather is great today; the sky is clear, but the sun isn't too strong.

After practicing swordsmanship with Chu Zheng, He Shi went to the martial arts field to learn archery from Bai Yushen.

Seeing that it was already 11:45 AM, Bai Yushen put down his heavy bow, rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, and revealed the bulging veins on his strong forearms.

He casually wiped the sweat from his face and called to He Shi, "Little Stone, let's go eat. If you want to practice, you can practice in the afternoon."

On the other side, He Shi stood as straight as a pine tree, his bow drawn to its fullest extent, his clear eyes calmly fixed on the target. The next instant, he released his grip, and the arrow flew out.

Watching the arrow pierce the bullseye just as expected, He Shi exhaled the breath he had been holding in his chest and casually slung the bow over his shoulder.

Recently, his archery skills have improved rapidly, and the ordinary wooden bow he used before is no longer sufficient. So Chu Zheng contacted the elders of the Ouyang family and specially made a bow for He Shi.

He Shi was delighted with the item after receiving it, and after practicing for a while, he became increasingly adept at using it.

The two arrived at the canteen together. As soon as they entered, they saw Xia Yuan sitting at the table, dressed in a neat outfit. Her usually elaborate and beautiful hair was simply tied into a ponytail, giving her a cool and refreshing look that was different from her usual self.

She sat with her back to the door, a long spear standing on the edge of the table to her left.

He Shi glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that his third senior brother, who had been walking very fast, had slowed down rapidly and was even showing signs of falling behind him.

He Shi was puzzled and subconsciously slowed down his pace as well.

Hearing the noise, Xia Yuan turned around and saw the two of them. A gentle smile appeared on her unadorned face: "It's Junior Brother and Third Junior Brother. The dishes are about to be served. Come and sit down."

He Shi responded and sat down next to her.

Bai Yushen followed He Shi over, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down on the other side of He Shi.

Xia Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, but she stood up with a normal expression and placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of the two of them.

After thanking him, He Shi looked around the empty dining hall and asked, "Senior Sister, why are you eating in the dining hall today? And why is Second Senior Brother nowhere to be seen?"

Xia Yuan was much busier than the others because she had to handle the affairs of the manor, so she rarely ate at the canteen and usually cooked for herself in the courtyard.

"Second junior brother ate at Master's place today. Master said he had something to discuss with him."

Xia Yuan arranged the dishes that had been served, first picking up a piece of meat and putting it into He Shi's bowl. Just as she was about to put her chopsticks away, she saw Bai Yushen secretly glancing into He Shi's bowl, so she also picked up a piece for him.

"I didn't have much to do today, so I practiced my gun skills for a while." She smiled as she looked at her two junior brothers. "We're going to the Heyang Sect at the end of the year. Our Chu family will definitely be in the limelight then, so it might be difficult to deal with. I can't let my skills get rusty."

Bai Yushen, who was enjoying his meat, patted his chest with confidence upon hearing this: "Don't worry, Senior Sister. The Heyang Sect has the reputation of being the number one sect in the world, but in reality, its disciples are all a bunch of rabble. As long as those old geezers don't get involved, you don't need to take action. My second senior brother and I can handle it."

"Alright, I know you guys are good. Hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold."

After the meal, the three parted ways at the entrance of the dining hall.

He Shi carried his bow back to the courtyard, intending to fetch some water to wash his face.

As I took the basin of water from the shelf, I noticed a brightly colored box on the table, with a piece of paper underneath it.

He paused, as if he had thought of something. His eyes brightened slightly, and he rushed over, carefully pulling out the paper. He looked down and examined it closely, and sure enough, it was that familiar handwriting—

'He Shi, open the box.'

He Shi's gaze shifted to the box.

He folded the note neatly and placed it aside, then reached for the box.

It's somewhat heavy; it must be a wooden box.

It was wrapped in a layer of paper with colorful patterns, and a ribbon was tied from all four sides, forming a beautiful and neat knot in the very center.

He Shi gently untied the knot, then found the sealed opening where the paper was pasted, carefully opened it, and revealed a carved camphor wood box underneath, which was unlocked.

He Shi folded the beautiful wrapping paper neatly and placed it beside the ribbon, then slowly lifted the lid of the wooden box.

The box was lined with a layer of black velvet, and underneath the velvet was something that looked like cotton, causing the two objects on it to sink gently and be wrapped in the softly glowing black cloth.
