Chapter 8. Born on the same year, same month, and same day
Family...
As the sole stranger in this unfamiliar world, Chen Ji could only carefully touch this world, sensing its mystery and dangers.
Every step was like walking on the edge of a cliff, at any moment he might fall into the abyss.
The words "family" held a unique attraction for him.
Chen Ji was soberly aware that, so-called family members were merely relations of the body he inhabited, while he was an intruder who had barged into this world after the original owner's death.
Yet curiosity couldn't help but rise in his heart... what if his parents also came to this world after their deaths?
After morning lessons, Chen Ji and his two martial brothers crouched next to the big water tank in the southeast corner of the courtyard to wash up.
He took a willow twig and pressed its branches into a brush-like shape, awkwardly scrubbing his teeth as he had seen his fellow disciples do.
The well-built brother who slept deeply last night grimaced as he crouched on the ground, "Master is in a bad mood today, don't provoke him. It's so painful, even my dad never hit me this hard!"
Chen Ji spit out the salt water from his mouth and tentatively said, "Maybe practicing this is useful?"
Liu Quxing pursed his lips, "What use? Been practicing for over a year without any sensation, do you feel anything?"
