My game even includes ancient times

That's a silly question.

If you can't see it, what does He Yu's long period of free time mean?

He Yu stopped laughing, coughed lightly, and began to talk nonsense in a serious tone again: "Of course I can see, but not with these eyes."

She pointed to her forehead and said mysteriously, "I'm using the eyes here."

He Shi's mouth dropped open: "Could it be that you have three eyes?"

He Yu: "Of course not, I was referring to divine consciousness."

"Divine consciousness?"

"Yes, divine consciousness is..."

Over the next period of time, He Yu, drawing on the many cultivation novels she had read, explained the function of divine sense to He Shi, and also talked about many settings and myths in the novels, leaving He Shi stunned.

Half an hour later, He Yu finished explaining the function of the "storage bag". Feeling that she was getting a little thirsty, she sat up and wanted to take a bottle of juice from the storeroom.

As soon as she sat up, she met He Shi's bright, sparkling eyes.

The other person looked at her with eyes full of adoration and longing, their gaze clearly saying, "Tell me more, I love to hear it."

"Uh……"

He Yu felt as if she had unexpectedly awakened the child's adolescent spirit.

She paused in taking out the juice, her fingers twirling as she put her hand on He Shi's shoulder. She said in a deep voice, "Alright, these secrets are best left unsaid. That's enough for today. You should go back now."

what……

He Shi felt a little disappointed.

It feels like listening to someone speak, and just when they're about to say something crucial, they suddenly say they need to pee and have to leave.

Itchy all over.

But he seemed unable to refute He Yu, and this small disappointment quickly dissipated in the autumn wind. He simply nodded obediently: "I should go back now. I made an appointment with my third senior brother to continue going to the martial arts arena this afternoon."

He Yu pulled him to his feet, and the two put on their shoes. He Yu rolled up two pieces of cloth and stuffed them into the warehouse. Then, holding He Shi's hand, she opened the gate to their home.

At the entrance of He Shi's courtyard in Chu Family Manor.

Bai Yushen withdrew his hand from the door and frowned slightly.

We've been knocking for almost 15 minutes now, why isn't Little Stone responding?

Did something happen to him inside the house?

Did you get a stitch while practicing?

Or did you slip and fall in the shower and get dizzy?

Thinking of this, Bai Yushen's gaze narrowed slightly. He stepped on the ground with his left foot, and his whole body rose up, easily crossing the gate and landing in the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet. Bai Yushen went straight to He Shi's bedroom and knocked on the door with his finger: "Little Stone, are you there?"

There was no movement in the room.

Bai Yushen frowned and knocked on the door again: "Little Stone, is something wrong? If not, just call out, or I'll come in right now..."

As he spoke, he exerted force with his hands, trying to push the door open.

The door was pushed open by its own force, and He Shi, dressed neatly, stood in the doorway, raising his hands as if to open the door.

He looked up at Bai Yushen: "Third Senior Brother, you've arrived?"

Seeing him standing there unharmed, Bai Yushen breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask, "What were you doing inside? I knocked on the door outside the courtyard for almost fifteen minutes, but I didn't hear you answer."

He Shi smiled shyly: "I was sleeping just now."

Bai Yushen looked him up and down, his clothes neatly arranged, and asked suspiciously, "Are you sleeping? You didn't even take off your outer garment?"

He Shi remained expressionless: "I was dressed before I came to open the door for my senior brother, which is why it took so long."

Bai Yushen understood: "I see."

Remembering his earlier worries, he instructed He Shi, "Next time, even if it's inconvenient for you to open the door, at least let me know so I won't worry."

He Shi nodded: "I understand, Senior Brother. I won't do it again next time."

"Good lad," Bai Yushen patted him on the back, making him stumble, "Let's go, let's practice in the martial arts field for a while longer. Aren't you going to Mr. Zhang's place to recite poems and essays at Shenshi?"

"Alright, senior brother, wait a moment while I go get the bow."

He Shi turned and went into the house.

Bai Yushen stood at the doorway, his gaze unconsciously sweeping across the scene inside the room. He noticed that on the round table, which had only a teapot and teacups on it, there was now an exquisite camphor wood box.

His gaze didn't linger on the box for even a second longer; as soon as he looked away, it met He Shi's eyes, who had finished tidying up.

The two walked together toward the martial arts arena.

Inside the tightly closed room, He Yu's figure appeared in the void.

She came to see her anime/manga character brother, but why does it feel so suspicious...?

She looked around and, seeing no flaws, chose to log off.

After logging off, the real time is past midnight.

He Yu put her phone away, turned over in bed, and quickly fell asleep.

------

Chu Family Manor, Chu Zheng's courtyard.

After Chu He finished practicing a set of sword techniques, he stood by the corridor wiping his sweat, sword in his right hand and handkerchief in his left. Chu Zheng, on the other hand, sat at the mahogany square table, drinking tea and reading a book.

The white gauze curtains fluttered in the breeze, and as dusk approached, the weather, which had been clear all day, gradually turned gloomy.

The gate to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open.

As Chu Zheng and Chu He both looked up, a red shadow swept across the small bridge like a hurricane, carrying a glint of cold light, and pointed straight at Chu He's chest.

Chu He narrowed his eyes, casually tossed aside the handkerchief, and parried with his sword. As the cold light struck the spine of his sword, he slightly tilted the blade and simultaneously stepped back, instantly dissipating the terrifying force.

But that cold glint was like a leech, turning in mid-air and chasing after Chu He's sword blade. In a short moment, the two collided several times.

Chu He drifted back to the corner of the wall, barely managing to steady himself. He felt his left hand, which was holding the sword, tremble slightly. Looking down, he saw that the area between his thumb and forefinger was red and swollen.

The red figure hovered lightly in front of the corridor, her spear whirling around, the tip drawing a smooth arc in the air before pointing diagonally at the ground.

"Second Junior Brother, your swordsmanship and movement have improved again. You must have been practicing hard these days. You must have worked very hard."

"Clap clap clap..."

Chu Zheng clapped his hands a few times with a smile and said to Xia Yuan, "Yuan'er, have you had some kind of enlightenment? That's incredible..."

The figure in red was Xia Yuan. She casually placed the spear she was holding on the steps, took off her shoes and socks, walked to the mahogany table, and sat down gracefully: "Master, you flatter me. May I ask what brings you here?"

Chu Zheng pointed to Chu He who was walking over and put down the book in his hand: "Let the second brother talk to you."
