Chu Feng saw his sister-in-law awaken and hurriedly put her down.
It was only then that Chu Feng realized that his actions just now might have indeed been a bit too abrupt, and he imdiately explained, sowhat embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, I saw you were too tired and I didn’t want to wake you, so I thought I’d carry you inside to sleep."
Qin i’s cheeks flushed with embarrassnt as she lightly scolded, "Xiao Feng, next ti just wake up, okay? You haven’t eaten yet, right? Hurry up and go eat."
"Okay!" Chu Feng nodded and went to the dining table to eat.
Chu Feng ate his al in earnest while Qin i felt a bit awkward because of the slightly intimate incident that had occurred.
"Xiao Feng, now that we have so money at ho, you can stop working part-ti for a while. Just focus on your studies and aim to get into a good university, okay?" Qin i hesitated for a long ti before finally speaking.
Chu Feng replied, "Sister i, I promised to help Sister Yan for a while longer. Her Golden Cauldron is about to be pawned, and it’s a busy ti for the handover. And don’t worry about , Sister i, I absolutely won’t neglect my studies."
Qin i already knew about Chu Feng becoming the Top Scholar and, although she didn’t know how it happened, she believed that Chu Feng had achieved it through his own true capabilities.
Qin i nodded and said, "Since that’s the case, then go ahead and help your boss out a bit more. It’s not easy for your boss being a woman alone."
Chu Feng nodded, thought about the entertainnt company for a mont, and then decided to discuss it with Qin i tomorrow.
"Xiao Feng, is there sothing you want to talk to about?" Qin i asked, noticing Chu Feng’s hesitation.
Chu Feng found an excuse and said, "Sister i, you’re always telling to rest, but what about you? You’ve also been tired over these years. Now that I’m earning money, you should quit your job and take a proper rest at ho for a while."
Qin i laughed with relief after hearing Chu Feng’s words, "Xiao Feng, although we now have money at ho, we can’t just sit back and deplete it. You still need to go to university and eventually get married and buy a house, all of which will cost money."
After a pause, Qin i joked with Chu Feng for a rare occasion, "You can’t live with for the rest of your life, right?"
Chu Feng replied with utmost seriousness, "Why not? As long as you, Sister i, don’t get married, I’ll support you for life. Any daughter-in-law who wants to enter the Chu Family must respect you first."
Qin i was startled by Chu Feng’s serious deanor but then felt a bit happy.
She tapped Chu Feng’s forehead with her finger and scolded, "I’m not so old that I need you to take care of . Besides, what does it an if I still live with you after you get married?"
Chu Feng said with a grin, "Of course, you’re not old, Sister i. You’re not only youthful but very young. Oh, what’s the idiom that describes Sister i’s current age? Right! ’The tender age of cardamom years!’"
Qin i rolled her eyes at Chu Feng’s response, "I’m about to enter middle age, and you’re talking about cardamom years."
Although Qin i said this, she still felt quite pleased inside. After all, no woman dislikes being praised.
Chu Feng sighed and said, "If you, Sister i, are about to enter middle age, then I’m not that far off either. Here we are, two people on the cusp of middle age, and we were just discussing the college entrance exams. It seems my academic performance is bad enough. Hitting middle age and only then preparing for the entrance exams."
Giggling, Qin i said with a teasing glance, "You are always full of odd jokes, hurry up and eat. After dinner, I’ll wash the dishes, and you go review your lessons."
Chu Feng said, "Sister i, let do the dishes today. You should rest early, I’ve already sorted out my studies at Sister Yan’s place."
Indeed feeling sowhat tired, Qin i stood up and said, "Then you should also go to bed early."
"Mm-hmm!" Chu Feng hastily agreed, promptly devouring the food on the table.
After his cultivation, Chu Feng noticed his appetite was continuously growing. Even though he had already eaten dinner, he still managed to finish off a full table of food when he got ho.
"It seems that cultivation is indeed a money-burning endeavor. If I didn’t have money to back up, I would eat myself into poverty," Chu Feng mused as he washed the dishes.
Fortunately, Chu Feng had money now and, for the ti being, he didn’t need to worry about financial issues.
Chu Feng quickly finished setting the bowls and chopsticks, then he began his day’s cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged in his room, Chu Feng felt the cool strands of Pure Yin Qi emanating from Qin i’s room, and he sensed that his cultivation technique was operating much faster.
Just after midnight, Chu Feng stopped cultivating. His master was scheduled to guide him in his kung fu training between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.
Chu Feng opened his room door slightly and glanced at Qin i’s room, confirming that Qin i had fallen asleep. Then he opened the window and slipped out.
The height of the third floor was no longer a challenge for Chu Feng.
Even though May Day was upon them, the north still held a chill. Chu Feng couldn’t help but shudder and then briskly ran towards the small park a kiloter away.
By the ti Xiao Feng arrived, Zhang Shisan was already waiting for him in the park.
Zhang Shisan glanced at Chu Feng and frowned, "Did you get into a fight tonight?"
Chu Feng chuckled and replied, "Nothing gets past Master’s eyes. Sobody was looking for trouble today, so I gave them a lesson."
Zhang Shisan nodded but said nothing.
After a mont, Zhang Shisan asked, "Did you rember the movent technique I taught you yesterday?"
Chu Feng nodded, "I rembered all of it."
It was a joke; with his photographic mory, how could Chu Feng not rember?
Hearing Chu Feng’s answer, Zhang Shisan showed a faint trace of surprise. He knew it had taken him a whole week to morize those steps, yet Chu Feng had morized them all in just one day; unless Chu Feng was a martial genius.
Without betraying any emotion, Zhang Shisan said, "Since you’ve rembered, perform the technique for ."
"Yes!"
Following Zhang Shisan’s words, Chu Feng began to demonstrate the movent technique from mory.
Since he had just morized it, Chu Feng’s movents were still sowhat awkward and didn’t achieve a ghostly effect; however, each step was executed with precision, leaving no room for errors.
Watching Chu Feng’s precise steps, a glint shone in Zhang Shisan’s aged eyes, and excitent surged in his heart.
"Truly a once-in-a-century martial prodigy. Heaven has truly blessed us; Carefree Sect will finally have its day of vengeance!"
In fact, Zhang Shisan didn’t realize that Chu Feng’s photographic mory was a gift from the Xuanhuang Technique, a cultivation technique not of this world.
After Chu Feng finished going through the steps, he asked, "Master, I didn’t make any mistakes, right?"
Despite the joy in his heart, Zhang Shisan’s face remained expressionless. He did not want Chu Feng to beco proud and arrogant, as complacency was the greatest weapon against a genius’s developnt.
With no emotion on his face, Zhang Shisan spoke, "Though there are no mistakes, this is a movent technique, not a leisurely walk. Your speed is too slow, and the transitions and connections are rough. Watch my movents closely; I will demonstrate it again for you."
"Yes!"
Chu Feng had thought Zhang Shisan might praise him a bit, but instead, he received dissatisfaction, leading to a wane in enthusiasm.
Still, Chu Feng watched Zhang Shisan’s every move intently, imprinting every action deeply into his mind.
After Zhang Shisan finished demonstrating, he said, "Now, try walking it again!"
