"You're my sister."

……

……

On New Year’s Eve, the entire Linshui Town was filled with joy.

It seemed as if the whole town wanted to use the joy of the New Year to wash away all the bad luck of the past year.

Among them, the Gu family's New Year preparations were particularly formal because their eldest daughter, Gu Ningshuang, was coming home.

As the only person in the town who entered the sect to practice, Gu Ningshuang naturally deserves this honor.

She showed great momentum in the Yunshan Sword Sect. In just two years, she went from a nominal disciple to a formal disciple. It was no exaggeration to say that she was a genius.

In order to return home today, Gu Jiu hadn't had a good lie down for several days.

Because even though he was lazy to the core, Gu Xinyue still pulled him up to work.

These days, the house is spotlessly clean inside and out, couplets are posted neatly, and red lanterns are lit even during the day.

"I was not careful and thought it was a Bodhisattva coming home." Gu Jiuzeng muttered softly, and scared his old father so much that the iron kettle fell to the ground.

Gu Jiu always felt that since Gu Ningshuang joined the Yunshan Sword Sect, her family had paid too much attention to her, treating her like an outsider.

And Gu Ningshuang's indifferent look really makes her look like an outsider.

Frost, Frost, my face is about to turn into frost, the name really suits me.

Gu Ningshuang has disliked Gu Jiu since she was a child, and Gu Jiu doesn't seem to like her either.

But Gu Ningshuang’s displeasure was like wine buried underground, fermenting year by year and becoming stronger and stronger; while Gu Jiu’s displeasure was forgotten in the blink of an eye.

If there are too many people and things that he dislikes, it will disrupt his sleep.

Although Gu Jiu has a bad reputation due to his laziness, his laziness also allows him to stay in a non-competitive state at all times, so his reputation is not particularly bad.

At dusk on New Year's Eve, Gu Ningshuang returned home and was naturally welcomed by the whole family, except Gu Jiu.

For the first time ever, Gu Jiu personally cooked a braised beef meal, and then he was so tired that he fell asleep on the rattan chair.

When he was carefully awakened by his father with a feather duster, he found that Gu Ningshuang had returned, so he called out "Sister."

Gu Ningshuang's expression was very cold, and her tone was equally unfriendly - "I'm sorry to bother you, Master Gu, with the trouble of speaking. I'm really sorry."

Seeing that Gu Ningshuang was unhappy, Gu Xinyue glared at Gu Jiu several times.

Gu Jiu didn't take it seriously, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself, "I said I was going to practice, but why am I becoming more stingy the more I practice?"

(PS: I have started paying back my debts and still ask for votes to support me. Currently ranked tenth on the new book list, I hope I can stabilize the situation.

I owe a total of 6 chapters for Blade plus the monthly ticket. I’ve already paid back 3 chapters. Hum… If I pay back 3 more chapters, I’ll just use up all my saved manuscripts.)

Chapter 35 Please, Your Hands Betray You

At the New Year’s Eve dinner table, Gu Ningshuang was naturally the absolute focus.

The whole family, except Gu Jiu, was very attentive to the eldest daughter who only came home once a year during the Chinese New Year.

Although Gu Ningshuang behaved very politely, she always felt a sense of alienation towards these younger brothers. No, it should be said that she felt a sense of alienation towards all the men at the table.

In this world where women are superior to men, it is normal for women to look down on men.

There are many women in this world who look down on men, not to mention that Gu Ningshuang is a disciple of the Yunshan Sword Sect, which makes her even more qualified.

So whether it was Gu Lei or Gu Xing, they basically got cold reception, while Gu Jiu was still lazy and didn't say much.

Gu Xiaoxiao was very interested in the daily life of the sect that Gu Ningshuang experienced, and Gu Ningshuang also loved this little sister very much, so she told her a lot of things.

For example, who can control a sword, who has reached a certain level at a young age, and which elder has slain many demons outside the domain...

These are things that are difficult for ordinary people to access. Gu Xiaoxiao and others listened with great interest, but Gu Jiu yawned continuously, causing Gu Ningshuang to glare at him several times.

Gu Ningshuang was actually a beauty, even an eight-point beauty. The clean and neat Yunshan Sword Sect robe she wore perfectly set off her already well-developed figure.

But Gu Jiu didn't like her cold expression, because she had peach blossom eyes and should have gone for the charming look, but she chose a very cold look which didn't match her look.

This mismatched painting style is a provocation to Gu Jiu's aesthetic taste, which is also the reason why Gu Jiu dislikes this sister a little bit.

The story was almost over, and Gu Ningshuang said, "Let's eat." Then the whole family officially started eating.

Before this, Gu Jiu was the only one who was eating.

Because he found that the beef stew with potatoes he made was really delicious.

Soon after, the big bowl of beef stewed with potatoes cooked by Gu Jiu became the focus of the whole audience after Gu Ningshuang.

The beef was cooked to perfection, tender yet chewy, mixed with the fragrance of potatoes. It tasted really great. Even Gu Ningshuang, who was used to the sect's food, couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

At this time, the father couldn't help but say: "This dish was cooked by Xiaojiu himself."

After hearing this, Gu Ningshuang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said to Gu Jiu, "I didn't expect you to have this ability?"

Gu Jiu said without hesitation, "It's something I was born with, so what's so strange about it?"

In fact, Gu Jiu wanted to say: "I knew how to make this dish in my previous life. Do you believe it?"

Gu Ningshuang rolled her eyes and said, "Young Master Gu cooking for me personally is a first. It's like a boar climbing a tree. How about you cook for the next few days?"

I have to admit that Gu Ningshuang is a bit cold, but as a woman, she has never given up the skill of confronting people.

Gu Jiu shook his head and said, "I can, but that doesn't mean I like it."

"What do you mean? If you don't like it, why do you have to do it today?" Gu Ningshuang asked.

In fact, her inner monologue is: "Are you trying to earn some recognition by seeing that I'm back?"

In fact, Gu Ningshuang was really looking forward to Gu Jiu saying something like "Aren't you back?"

She has always been the center of attention in the family since she was a child, but Gu Jiu is an exception. Without Gu Jiu, the family would not be beautiful.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiu said bluntly, "Because I want to eat it too much. I've been putting up with this new cook at home for a long time. Whatever he cooks always tastes the same."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.

The cook, who was eating New Year's Eve dinner and drinking wine with the servants in the kitchen, had no idea that his cooking skills were being questioned by the young master.

The old chef of the Gu family went back to his hometown to retire because of something. The new chef has been here for half a year and is indeed not as good as the old chef.

Gu Jiu expressed his true thoughts, but because they were so true, it made the whole audience feel a little awkward.

"You said you would die if you did this for me!" Gu Ningshuang thought to herself and ate several pieces of beef.

For the next few days, Gu Jiu really didn't cook again, and then everyone discovered that the dishes made by the new chef seemed to taste the same.

However, eating is a small matter, the big matter is Gu Ningshuang's judgment of Gu Xiaoxiao.

This time she returned home, she had a mission.

If Gu Xiaoxiao really progresses as fast as her family says, maybe she will have the chance to join the Yunshan Sword Sect with her.

After hearing her mother say that Gu Xiaoxiao was feeling sentimental because of Gu Jiu, Gu Ningshuang still hoped that Gu Xiaoxiao could join the sect to avoid being poisoned by Gu Jiu.

Men are inherently much weaker than women, let alone a man as incredibly lazy as Gu Jiu.

She was even a little angry that her mother did not follow her advice and married Gu Jiu directly.

Don’t you understand the principle that “boys should not be kept at home when they grow up”?

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Xiaoxiao began to show her strength to Gu Ningshuang.

The weather was very good that day. The sky seemed to have been washed clean after the snow fell. There was not even a trace of cloud. It was like a huge blue gem.

Gu Xiaoxiao stood in the martial arts training ground at home, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

Gu Jiu lay on the rattan chair, closing his eyes and resting.

He acted indifferent to things that everyone was concerned about.

Because he knew the ending, there were no unexpected outcomes.

He could even imagine Gu Ningshuang's expression of surprise, as if she wanted to scream.

Gu Xiaoxiao first performed a set of boxing techniques, a very inferior set of boxing techniques, but the boxing style was very powerful, and there was even a faint tiger roar in it.

After seeing this scene, Gu Ningshuang's face turned pale. Although she remained calm on the surface, her heart was beating like a gong.

Because she could see that Gu Xiaoxiao's strength had already reached the upper level of the second level of the Body Tempering Realm.

If you don't have any expert guidance and only rely on your own exploration, it is indeed a remarkable achievement.

Even she might not be able to do this.

Next, when Gu Xiaoxiao picked up a big machete and chopped the solid oak stake into pieces, Gu Ningshuang's hands were shaking.

Because from this performance, it can be seen that Gu Xiaoxiao's strength is not only at the upper level of the second level of the Body Tempering Realm, but at the peak. What is even more incredible is that there are actually signs of breaking through the realm.

You know, she only reached the second level last year under the guidance of her master, but Gu Xiaoxiao reached this level by herself?

Gu Xiaoxiao is not yet fifteen this year, but she is already twenty.

After Gu Xiaoxiao finished chopping the wooden stake, she couldn't help but look at Gu Ningshuang.

At this time, everyone looked at Gu Ningshuang, including Gu Jiu.

The others were very nervous and wanted to know the answer from Gu Ningshuang's face, while Gu Jiu just wanted to see Gu Ningshuang's expression.

"Hey, you're pretending pretty well." Gu Jiu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

Now Gu Ningshuang tried her best to remain calm, and she seemed calm in the eyes of others, but Gu Jiu knew that she was very excited.

Please, your hands hidden in your sleeves have betrayed you.

Gu Ningshuang opened her beautiful peach blossom eyes and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao. After a moment, she said, "Xiaoxiao, how about you chop it again?"

Good God, she thought she didn’t see it clearly.

(PS: Please give me money and razor blades to hit me, knocking me unconscious is best.)

Chapter 36 Xiaoxiao, congratulations.

After Gu Xiaoxiao hacked a solid oak stake into pieces with a flurry of blows, Gu Ningshuang took a deep breath and tried her best to remain calm. She said, "I'll send a message to the fairy lady in the sect to come and test you. Xiaoxiao, you've made great progress."

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao jumped up happily, picked up Gu Jiu and the chair, and ran wildly in the yard.

Gu Jiu just felt like he was racing. It was obvious that the car was running quite fast, but it was out of his control.

Yes, Gu Xiaoxiao looked very unladylike in Gu Jiu's eyes, but very feminine in the eyes of others.

In this world, women must be powerful!

Everyone in the Gu family was very happy about this, and it added fuel to the joyful atmosphere of the New Year.

Because even qualifying for the Yunshan Sword Sect test is already a remarkable achievement.

And judging from Gu Ningshuang's performance, Gu Xiaoxiao has a high chance of passing.

Because that afternoon, Gu Ningshuang sent a letter to Yunshan Sword Sect through Red Eagle.

You have to know that this is the Chinese New Year period, and the Yunshan Sword Sect is not a sect that is cut off from the worldly affairs. During this period, most disciples and fairies will go home to visit their relatives, and those who stay in the sect are also on vacation.

Gu Ningshuang sent the letter in such a hurry at this time, which shows how much she values ​​and has confidence in Gu Xiaoxiao.

These days, Gu Xiaoxiao was both excited and nervous, just like a student waiting for the college entrance examination results.

Looking at the other person like this, Gu Jiu didn't know what to say for a moment.

It was almost certain that Gu Xiaoxiao, who was born with a spiritual seed, would be chosen by the Yunshan Sword Sect.

Afterwards, Gu Xiaoxiao will go to Yunshan Sword Sect to learn martial arts, and like Gu Ningshuang, she will only come back during the holidays. But what about him?

Continue sleeping until you are eighteen, and then get married?

This winter, Gu Jiu, who slept facing the sky at 45 degrees, felt confused about his life for the first time.

Yes, if Gu Xiaoxiao was no longer in this family, he would suddenly lose interest and feel bored.

In this family, perhaps only his father who loves him so much can give him some warmth.

But this is not enough, not enough to soothe Gu Jiu's heart.

Because he felt that such words were too boring.

There are twelve hours in a day, but even he can only sleep for ten hours. How empty it must be in the two hours when he is awake, without anyone he likes around.
