Zhang Chu's Shock!

There was actually such a good thing?

The moment he heard he could visit the Inner Sect, Li Yun's eyes immediately lit up.

One had to know that the Celestial Martial Sect's rules were strict. Although disciples were not forbidden from moving about freely, places like the Inner Sect and Azure Cloud Residence were inaccessible without someone to lead the way.

He did not know why Zhang Ruohan had taken the initiative to offer to show him around the Inner Sect, but it was exactly what he wanted.

After all, Innate cultivators were everywhere in the Inner Sect.

It was definitely an opportunity for his Cognition Points to surge. He could not miss it no matter what.

"Alright, I'll go find Zhang Chu for Senior Sister Zhang right now."

At once.

Li Yun hurried back to Rank 95 Academy. After searching around, he finally found Zhang Chu in his dormitory and called him out.

When Zhang Chu heard that his sister was looking for him, he immediately looked delighted.

But when he heard that his sister actually wanted to take him and Li Yun to visit the Inner Sect, he was instantly dumbfounded and looked at Li Yun suspiciously.

"Something's not right!"

"Why did my sister send you to find me instead of coming herself? And why does she want to take you to the Inner Sect?"

"Li Yun, you bastard, you didn't do something to my sister, did you?"

Who knew what wild thoughts had sprung into Zhang Chu's head? As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Li Yun by the collar, fury blazing in his eyes.

Li Yun: "..."

"You think I did something to your sister?"

"Please, your sister is an Inner Sect Disciple, and I'm an Outer Sect Disciple... If I dared do anything to your sister, wouldn't I be asking for death?"

Zhang Chu was immediately taken aback.

"Uh... that makes sense. But it still makes no sense. You're not a relative of mine, and I'm not close with you. Why would my sister take you to the Inner Sect?"

"How would I know? If you want to know, ask your sister yourself... Anyway, I'm just a small fry from the Outer Sect. I wouldn't dare disobey an Inner Sect senior sister's orders."

"Hmph... Then let's go. I want to ask my sister why she's taking you!"

Perhaps because he could not outargue Li Yun.

Zhang Chu angrily released him and hurried outside.

Li Yun chuckled and quickly followed.

It was a little shameless, but for Cognition Points, who cared?

Before long, Li Yun and Zhang Chu returned to the place where they had run into Zhang Ruohan and found her there.

"Sis... why are you here?"

"If you came, why didn't you find me yourself? Why did you make Li Yun do it? And you're even taking him to the Inner Sect—what is going on?"

Zhang Chu was impatient by nature.

The moment he saw Zhang Ruohan, he bombarded her with questions.

Zhang Ruohan's face darkened, and she fiercely rapped Zhang Chu on the head.

"Ow... Sis, what are you doing? That hurts!"

"It hurts? Good!"

"You little brat, has your skin gotten loose after just a few days without a beating? Who gave you permission to speak to me like that?"

"I..."

"You still want to talk back? Keep talking back, and don't blame me for giving you no face in front of your fellow disciples. I'll beat you right now!"

At that, Zhang Chu hurriedly covered his mouth.

He shook his head repeatedly.

It was obvious that he truly feared his sister, Zhang Ruohan.

Bloodline suppression between biological siblings existed everywhere.

Li Yun secretly smiled, then stepped forward. "Senior Sister Zhang, I've brought him to you. If there's nothing else, I'll head back."

Though he badly wanted to go to the Inner Sect, he still had to put on an act, didn't he?

Besides, he also wanted to test why Zhang Ruohan had her eye on taking him into the Inner Sect.

"Hey, wait!"

"It is rare for us to meet; you could call it fate. Besides, you and my younger brother are both Outer Sect Disciples from Rank 95 Academy by such a coincidence."

"My brother Zhang Chu is clumsy with words and not very good at getting along with people. As his sister, it is my responsibility to help him build good relationships with his fellow disciples."

"So, if you're free, I'd like to invite you to take a walk around the Inner Sect with us. What do you think?"

I see!

Li Yun instantly understood.

He could roughly guess Zhang Ruohan's intentions.

She had happened to notice that his Basic Stance Cultivation had reached the Minor Accomplishment Realm and that he had reached the Second Layer of Body Tempering. She had probably mistaken him for someone with extraordinary talent.

So she wanted to use this opportunity to win him over.

Li Yun was not bothered by that in the slightest.

People had to show their value before others would take them seriously.

What normal person would inexplicably show goodwill toward someone whose background they did not know and whose value they could not see?

Now that he had demonstrated his value in Zhang Ruohan's eyes, it was only natural that she wanted to befriend him.

"Since Senior Sister Zhang has invited me, this junior brother would not dare refuse. I shall shamelessly ride on Senior Sister Zhang's favor and get an early glimpse of the Inner Sect."

"Hmph, an early glimpse?"

Zhang Chu had already been somewhat displeased to see Li Yun chatting so merrily with his sister. Now, hearing him say he would get an early glimpse of the Inner Sect, he could no longer hold it in.

"You?"

"With Fifth Grade aptitude, you're nearly at the bottom of Rank 95 Academy... Miss today, and you'll probably never get another chance in your life to see the Inner Sect."

Li Yun did not get angry. He turned to Zhang Chu and smiled faintly. "Brother Zhang Chu, people should have dreams. Otherwise, how are they any different from salted fish?"

"You..."

"Pfft!"

Zhang Chu was furious, but Zhang Ruohan burst out laughing.

"I couldn't tell before, but you're quite humorous. More importantly, you're confident!"

As she spoke.

Zhang Ruohan fiercely rapped Zhang Chu on the head again. "See that? Learn from him. If a martial artist doesn't possess calm confidence, then what martial arts are they cultivating?"

"And it seems you really look down on Li Yun?"

"Hmph, you little brat... If I weren't your biological sister, I'd kick you straight down the mountain right now."

"You both entered the sect a month ago, and you both cultivate Basic Stance Cultivation. Let me ask you: what stance are you on now?"

Zhang Chu proudly replied, "The sixth stance, and I'm almost done. Tomorrow, I can try the seventh stance."

"In Rank 95 Academy, aside from Gu Yunzheng with his First Grade aptitude, I rank second!"

Zhang Ruohan immediately laughed.

Her laughter was full of scorn.

"You really are enough of a number two!"

"Let me tell you, I don't know and don't care what stance that Gu Yunzheng of yours has reached, but do you know what level Li Yun has reached?"

"Him?"

Zhang Chu gave Li Yun a doubtful look, but immediately said disdainfully, "How would I know what stance he's reached? At most, the fourth stance—no higher. A couple days ago, he was hanging around Gu Yunzheng, supposedly trying to secretly learn Gu Yunzheng's Zhuang Gong."

"He was even reported to the Martial Arts Deacon..."

Bang!

Before he could finish, Zhang Ruohan's finger struck Zhang Chu's forehead again.

This time, she hit him even harder.

Zhang Chu directly clutched his head and squatted down in pain, his face flushed red as he cried, "Sis, why did you hit me again... I wasn't wrong!"

"Not wrong?"

"Are your dog eyes blind? Let me tell you, Li Yun's Basic Stance Cultivation has already reached the Minor Accomplishment Realm!"

"You haven't even finished cultivating your sixth stance, yet you have the nerve to strut around like a garlic bulb in front of Li Yun?"

The instant Zhang Chu heard this, he sprang up from the ground.

He gasped and shouted.

His shock was so intense that he had forgotten the pain.

"What?"

"Basic Stance Cultivation at the Minor Accomplishment Realm?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Sis, you're lying to me..."

"Lying to you? Hmph, let me tell you, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Zhang Ruohan abruptly took a step forward.

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from her and enveloped Zhang Chu.

"Zhang Chu, listen carefully!"

"From now on, be more humble in front of your fellow disciples. If I see you showing off recklessly again, I won't let you off!"

"And you have nothing to show off about. You're only Second Grade aptitude. If you're not humble and don't work hard, you might not even make it into the Inner Sect!"

Zhang Chu immediately stood there like a wooden chicken!
