After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

Yan Yun didn't know if he was crazy or if he himself was crazy? In the middle of the night, someone barged into his room and almost strangled him, and then told him that if he wanted to learn martial arts, he had to follow him?

This statement is simply unconvincing.

The noise outside the door was even louder.

"Miss, has something happened?"

They pulled on the door, and the door creaked and rattled.

The other person took a step forward, and Yan Yun immediately stepped back. She didn't think she could trust the person in front of her right now.

"Get them away from me, and I won't hurt you."

Yan Yun stood up, looked at him standing there, and hesitated.

The other party saw through Yan Yun's thoughts.

"I advise you not to have any other ideas."

Worried that something might happen, they went straight to the window and said, "Miss, we're right outside."

Because Yan Yun was mute, they broke in through the window.

And right before Yan Yun's eyes, that person vanished in an instant.

The maids saw Yan Yun standing there.

"Miss."

He immediately stepped forward to help Yan Yun.

Yan Yun pushed them away and looked around. She knew that people couldn't just disappear into thin air; that person must still be inside.

She looked around, remembering what he had said, and sent all the maids out.

The maids were also worried that something had happened. "Miss, what's wrong?"

The maids asked in a panic if something had happened to Yan Yun.

Yan Yun shook his head and waved to them, signaling them to leave.

The maids' eyes were also scanning the room.

Yan Yun gave him a hard push.

He gestured for them to leave.

The maids checked it over and realized they were making a big fuss.

“Miss, if you need us, we are right outside the courtyard.”

Yan Yun nodded and pushed them out.

This time, Yan Yun didn't bolt the door; he simply pushed it open.

Yan Yun had already bolted the door. She turned around and looked up, and saw the person above her.

The person jumped down and, without waiting for Yan Yun to say anything, said, "You can't keep up with this speed. You need to practice more."

Yan Yun then took a closer look. He was dressed in all black, and his face was completely covered. Because he had almost strangled him just now, Yan Yun could not completely trust him.

The man pointed to the bench, which was nearly two hands wide, and showed it to Yan Yun.

A moment later, he gathered his strength in his palm and slammed it down on the thick stool. The stool, which was half a palm's width thick, split in two with a single blow.

Yan Yun stared at the stool in astonishment, speechless for a long time.

Looking at Yan Yun's surprised expression.

He grabbed Yan Yun by the back of her collar and jumped out through the open window.

Yan Yun watched as he carried her, yet still moved with the agility of a swallow, and her eyes lit up. She had to admit that this was exactly what she longed for.

The man led her across the rooftops of the city, and told Yan Yun that scaling rooftops required agility and stamina, and that she was young and a good candidate to learn it.

These words gave Yan Yun more confidence.

Although it was unclear where this person came from, he was completely different from Yun Yi's martial arts master. He did not look down on her because she was a woman; on the contrary, he said these words to encourage her.

It may not be encouragement, but hearing it gives me a lot of confidence.

Yan Yun has always been troubled by how to grow up. Following the old lady, she is just repeating what her parents taught her. Even though Yan Yun knows that it was a wrong choice, she has no power to resist it now.

until now.

This mysterious person appeared before them like a timely rain.

Yan Yun's fear vanished completely.

Her heart soared as she looked at the lanterns still lit in the city.

They didn't linger in the city for long before he took Yan Yun back, stood on the wall of the Zheng residence, and pushed Yan Yun off.

"I will come to find you tomorrow too."

Yan Yun fell to the ground and got up. She looked at the person, but he had already left. A breeze rose from her right and blew on her face.

Yan Yun reached out and pinched the back of his hand.

Everything that just happened feels like a dream.

Yan Yun looked around; it was pitch black. Afraid of being discovered, she immediately ran back to her room.

Outside her room, the steward and maid were talking.

Seeing her return from outside, the maidservant's jaw dropped in surprise, and she asked in astonishment, "Manager, why did Miss come back from outside the courtyard?"

The steward turned to look at Yan Yun and felt that the man was about to be scared out of his wits.

He stood up and walked towards Yan Yun. When he saw the mud on Yan Yun's legs, he stammered, "Miss, is something wrong?"

Yan Yun shook her head, pushed open the door and went back inside. She immediately closed the windows and doors.

Looking down at the bench that had been split in two, I was still in a daze. It was right in front of me. That person had just chopped such a thick bench in half with his bare hands.

What kind of person was he?

Yan Yun kept thinking about this person and stayed up all night by the window.

The person I was looking for really did appear.

As long as he harbors no ill will towards her, Yan Yun can trust him without worry. She doesn't need to ask why he's at the Zheng residence or what his purpose is.

All she needs to know is this person.

As long as you follow him, you can become a completely different person.

The next day, Yan Yun went to the academy.

The steward asked the maid why the bench was broken so neatly, but the maid didn't know either. They had heard the noise when they came in but hadn't noticed anything unusual. Besides, they couldn't get any information from the young lady either.

He ordered a few more people to keep watch at night, and the broken stool was moved out.

On the other hand, Yun Yi also had to face the fact that he was about to leave.

My father said that everything was ready in the capital, and he was just waiting for me to go there.

His goal was to become the top martial arts champion, but now he's having some reservations.

Yun Yi casually asked Yan Yun if she would miss him after he left.

Yan Yun nodded in agreement. Of course she would miss him, but before that, Yan Yun wanted to visit the Yun residence.

It just so happens that Yun Yi had the same idea. He was definitely going to Yuanjing, and once he got there, he wanted someone to take care of her.

He took Yan Yun back to the Yun residence.

That familiar courtyard was where she had grown up. It should have been so familiar, but when she saw it again, everything had changed. She didn't recognize any of the maids or servants, and even the scattered objects had been replaced.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Yun Yi comforted her, "What's wrong? Why do you look like you're about to cry?"

Yan Yun quickly stopped herself. She shook her head. Being able to return to the Yun family mansion was already a small wish fulfilled.

She looked at Yun Yi, and although she didn't speak, her mind was racing. She knew exactly what she was going to do. Sooner or later, she would turn this place back into the Yan Mansion, but she wouldn't tell Yun Yi.

Yun Yi pressed her head down and stopped asking questions.

"Alright, you're acting weird."

Yun Yi instructed his servants to prepare a large table of dishes and to have Yan Yun served.

The servants all stared at Yan Yun; this was the first time the young master had brought people to the mansion.

They are starting up.

Nan Yunjing came in from outside.

Yan Yun looked up.

The maids bowed to him.

"Son."

He stood outside the door and glanced at Yan Yun and Yun Yi inside.

Yan Yun also found it strange. His surname was Nan, so why was he in the Yun residence?

Her gaze swept over Yun Yi, and seeing the bulging veins on his hands as he gripped the chopsticks tightly, she knew he was in a bad mood because of Nan Yun Jing.

Her gaze followed Nan Yunjing, but he only glanced at her before turning and leaving.

Yun Yi told Yan Yun to eat first, and that the maidservants would prepare anything she needed.

Yan Yun did not understand what he meant.

Yun Yi had already put down his chopsticks and got up to chase after her. He called out to Nan Yun Jing, who was about to leave, and directly questioned her, "Are you going to Yuanjing this time too?"

Nan Yunjing stopped, turned around and looked at Yun Yi with disdain, uttering two words indifferently: "I'm not going."

Yun Yi didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, he questioned Nan Yun Jing: "Why didn't you go? You and I are about the same age. Isn't this the perfect time for us to make our mark?"

Nan Yunjing, however, calmly countered with a question to Yun Yi, "If I go, do you think you can still become the martial arts champion?"

This is undoubtedly a provocation.

Yun Yi's clenched fists cracked as he looked at An Yunjing, just as he was about to explode in anger.

An old man walked out from the side of the corridor.

He spoke up to stop Yun Yi.

"Yun Yi, don't cause trouble!"

Yun Yi turned to look at the person who had come, but did not want to explain.

He glanced at Nan Yunjing, then turned and went back into the hall, sitting down next to Yan Yun.

Yan Yun had also heard some noises, and seeing his pale face, he knew that he must have been arguing with Nan Yunjing. Yan Yun didn't understand why Yun Yi's surname was Yun and Nan Yunjing's surname was Nan, and why the two of them were both in the Yun residence, and why they looked so hostile.

Unfortunately, there are still many things she doesn't understand.

Yun Yi was angry and didn't continue eating with Yan Yun. After Yan Yun finished eating, he arranged for a carriage to take her back.

"I have some things to do, so I won't see you off today."

Yan Yun nodded, taking one last, reluctant look at the Yun residence before parting ways with Yun Yi.

Upon returning to the Zheng residence, Yan Yun ordered all the maids to leave his courtyard, forbidding anyone from entering without his permission.

The maids all thought this was a good thing, a rare moment of leisure.

It was still early, but Yan Yun had already opened the window and sat there waiting.

It continued until nightfall.

The men in black from yesterday have indeed arrived.

Yan Yun immediately stepped forward and was lifted up by someone. Even though she had been lifted up once before, she was still overjoyed. She hoped that she could do the same.

This time, there was no time to admire the scenery; Yan Yun was simply thrown into the woods.

Moreover, it was in the woods outside the city.

Yan Yun immediately thought of the bandits. She wondered if it was too dangerous here. But the man left her with the words, "I'll wait for you at the top. If you can't get up, I won't care whether you live or die."

Yan Yun wanted to ask more questions, but the person jumped from one tree to another without Yan Yun blinking, watching him get further and further away.

She immediately followed, ignoring the thorns that hooked onto her arms, and recklessly climbed upwards. Even when she fell, she immediately got up and chased after him in the direction he had left.

Unbeknownst to her, the man in black would also stop ahead, watching her every move, observing whether she would follow or give up and retreat.

In the woods, after dark, the potential dangers are secondary; the steep and dense terrain is far more dangerous. If you go the wrong way or take the wrong step, the consequences could be unimaginable.

Yan Yun didn't know how much time had passed. When he saw that the mountaintop was almost in front of him, he approached and saw the man in black waiting for him, blending into the night.

Yan Yun was panting heavily. She sat down on the ground to rest.

The man in black, blending seamlessly into the night, spoke from the tree, "You're too late."
