Chapter 5: Spirit Beast Garden.
Of course, Lu Fengmian could not hear the fierce monologue in her heart, so he merely asked out of habit, “Has your cultivation been going smoothly? If there were any problems, you could come ask me at any time.”
“No issues.” Junior Sister Yun replied with concise brevity. After a pause, she added, “I still had some doubts last night, but I already figured them out myself.”
In truth, even after studying until midnight, she had not fully understood it, but she could not bear to knock on Senior Brother’s door in the middle of the night—Senior Brother was so busy during the day, so he should rest well at night.
So she stubbornly studied the jade slip until dawn, and in the end, she comprehended its mysteries.
“That was good.” Lu Fengmian nodded, his gaze falling on her somewhat pale face. “However, on the path of cultivation, work and rest must be balanced. Your complexion did not look too good. Did you stay up late again?”
Junior Sister Yun: “……No.”
“Senior Brother was worried about me! He noticed my poor complexion! But I could not admit it, or Senior Brother would worry, and he might even tell me to practice less sword and rest more. How could that do? If I did not practice the sword, how would I grow stronger? If I did not grow stronger, how would I…”
Her thoughts drifted for a moment, but she regained her focus in time. “No matter what, I could not admit it.”
Seeing the expression on her face that plainly said, “I was fine, I was very well, I could still practice another three days and three nights,” Lu Fengmian knew this girl had definitely stayed up all night again.
