"May I have your permission to take Shiyin away?" After explaining his reasons, Li Shiwen asked at last.
"Ha ha..." Qin Ran laughed and looked at Li Shiwen, shaking his head, "If the Mountain Range is really going to have something big happen, then nowhere in the North Chu Kingdom would be safer than the Sword Sect. So where are you going to take Shiyin?"
Li Shiwen lowered his head without trying to hide it from Qin Ran.
"As for the first and second reasons, it is not my place to interfere..." Li Shiwen wanted to take Li Shiyin somewhere safe, but Qin Ran was too lazy to care. Stroking the cat, he laughed, "So whether Shiyin stays or leaves, you’ll have to ask her yourself."
"Ask Shiyin herself?" Li Shiwen laughed. He saw how much effort Qin Ran had spent on Shiyin and thought that Qin Ran would definitely not allow him to take Shiyin away. But unexpectedly, Qin Ran was so easy to talk to.
From his perspective, Li Shiyin was his younger sister, very young and simple-minded, unable to discern pros and cons, and could not decide such a big matter for herself. For Qin Ran to say this, it was almost telling him that he could take Shiyin away.
So Li Shiwen stood up. Without asking Li Shiyin, he saluted Qin Ran and said with a smile, "Then thank you for taking care of Shiyin these days. You can make a list of expenses for Shiyin and send it to the garrison of the Heavenly Strategy Army outside the Mountain Range. I will provide compensation."
"Hmm?" Qin Ran was puzzled in his heart. Why didn't this guy even ask her? But his face still had a faint smile, as if he had everything under control.
Li Shiwen nodded to him, pulled Li Shiyin up and said, "Shiyin, let's go home now..."
He pulled Li Shiyin along but couldn't move her. He pulled harder but Li Shiyin didn't budge at all. He looked back at Li Shiyin, helplessly said, "Shiyin, be obedient."
Li Shiyin looked at him and shook her head. "Brother, I'm not going back!"
"What are you talking about?" Li Shiwen said with a smile. "Don't be unreasonable. Mother misses you very much..."
"I will go back, but not now." Li Shiyin replied.
To say that Li Shiyin was stupid was only because she was simple, not because she really had problems with her brain. She was not only smart, but also inherited the fine qualities of their Li family, tough and unyielding... In short, she would not easily change her mind about something once she decided on it.
Li Shiwen knew his sister well. Hearing Li Shiyin say this, the smile on his face disappeared little by little. He looked at Li Shiyin and asked solemnly, "You really won't go back?"
"I won't go back!" Li Shiyin answered very decisively.
Li Shiwen looked up and pondered for a moment, but he didn't have any good solutions.
Finally, with his tiger eyes fixed on Li Shiyin, he said, "Fine... You are so persistent in cultivating and have made some progress. Let's fight as usual. If you can beat me, I will agree to let you stay here and continue cultivating."
Growing up together as siblings, it was normal for them to fight. And because they were siblings, how could the younger sister ever beat her older brother? Ever since they were little, Li Shiyin had always been beaten up by Li Shiwen. She had long wanted to turn the tables, but as they grew older, Li Shiwen became more and more formidable, and it seemed that she would never have a chance...
Now, Li Shiwen himself proposed this requirement.
Li Shiyin was itching for a fight, eager to spar!
"Really?" She quickly confirmed, afraid that Li Shiwen would change his mind.
Having already tried Li Shiyin's strength before, and seeing her expression now, Li Shiwen was a little nervous. But after careful consideration, with his twenty years of cultivation, how could she catch up after just over ten days?
Strength was strength, kung fu was kung fu.
He had no reason to fear his younger sister.
"Really." He nodded to guarantee.
"Master, you be the witness!" Li Shiyin was so happy that she jumped up and raised her hand to ask Qin Ran to guarantee it.
"Okay." Qin Ran enjoyed watching the show and agreed.
Then without another word, Li Shiyin turned around and threw a punch at Li Shiwen with her raised hand.
Li Shiwen knew Li Shiyin too well. When Li Shiyin raised her hand, he already knew what this seemingly simple but actually crafty younger sister was going to do. When Li Shiyin punched at him, he had already dodged in advance.
"I knew it!" He shook his head.
"Hehe!" Li Shiyin chuckled foolishly and exerted force into her feet to chase after him.
Having grown up together since childhood, training under the same master's stick tricks, they knew each other's moves inside out.
Originally, Li Shiwen, being a man, was much taller and stronger. His martial arts skills were indeed more refined than Li Shiyin's. He had always let Li Shiyin hit him. But...times had changed. Although Li Shiyin had not yet learned any mystic arts, her physical fitness was no longer on the same level as Li Shiwen's.
After exchanging moves twice, they finally collided fists.
Li Shiyin rushed forward with a punch, throwing a fist at Li Shiwen's face. Li Shiwen did not dodge. He put both hands forward to block Li Shiyin's punch, planning to grab her after blocking this punch. This move worked very well on the reckless and impulsive Li Shiyin.
Unexpectedly, when Li Shiyin's punch came...
"Bang!"
Li Shiwen only felt as if he had been hit by a bull, completely failing to block it. He staggered back several steps with his chest wide open!
"Hahaha, brother, you're finished!" Li Shiyin laughed gleefully. She clenched her little fists and rushed forward, ramming into Li Shiwen's arms. Then fists rained down as she vented all the pent-up frustration from being beaten up by Li Shiwen over the past decade, not caring whether it was the nose, eyes, chest or ribs.
She only stopped when she felt she had enough and stood up arrogantly looking down at Li Shiwen's bruised and swollen face. Of course she didn't go all out since he was her brother after all, but it was enough to make Li Shiwen suffer for several days.
Seeing they had finished fighting, Qin Ran walked over, took out a porcelain bottle from his cosmic bag, squatted down and handed it to Li Shiwen, saying, "Blood Invigorating Muscle Pills, treats physical injuries. One pill is enough. This bottle is a gift for you."
Lying on the ground, Li Shiwen's hands trembled as he took the bottle. He clumsily shook out a pill and barely managed to put it in his mouth.
He looked so pathetic, but Qin Ran and Li Shiyin just watched without intention of helping him.
The efficacy of the pill was extremely fast. Li Shiwen's injuries healed almost visibly. But such rapid recovery was also accompanied by terrible pain. Even the iron-tough Li Shiwen couldn't help groaning.
"Although these ordinary pills are simple to make, a pill can still sell for two spirit stones. This bottle contains ten pills. As a gift upon our first meeting, it doesn't degrade you. In the mortal world, you know better than me the value of miraculous medicine and stones."
"Before building her foundation, Shiyin's medicinal baths cost about three hundred spirit stones each time, and she soaked for ten consecutive days; after building her foundation, each bath is nine hundred spirit stones, and she has already soaked for five days. This doesn't even include the cost of prescriptions and effort for making the medicinal bath."
He looked at Li Shiwen on the ground and shook his head with a laugh, "Don't feel bad about losing to Shiyin's punch worth over ten thousand spirit stones."
As Li Shiwen's injuries gradually healed, he silently looked up at Qin Ran and suddenly understood - his sister's master had a wicked heart, inside and out...
He was just a small general of the mortal world. He was no match for their cultivators. He might as well leave early.
