Ruthless Flower Plucking

In a nameless, deep mountain, amidst picturesque scenery, stood a wooden Sword Cottage built of trees and bamboo. It wasn't large, but it was refined.

Yang Shuzi sat upright in the main hall, his face stern, sitting properly, like a meticulous teacher in a private school.

Wang Shu stood beside Yang Shuzi, looking at the two children standing in the hall below, Lu Linxuan and Li Xingyun.

Today was the initiation ceremony for these two, and Wang Shu himself had already entered the sect on the way, so he didn't need to go through it again.

"Kneel!" Yang Shuzi's expression turned stern, and he shouted in a deep voice.

Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan knelt down one after another, and said at the same time, "Greetings, Master."

"Having been entrusted by someone, I must be loyal to their affairs. Since you two have entered my sect, I will treat you equally."

Yang Shuzi's expression was calm, his gaze turned to Lu Linxuan, and then softened, as he continued:

"Xuan'er, tell me, why do you want to learn martial arts!"

"Of course, it's to avenge my father, and then become a female knight-errant who helps the weak and defends justice." Lu Linxuan said without even thinking.

"Yes, not bad. Of all virtues, filial piety comes first."

Yang Shuzi nodded repeatedly, then looked at Li Xingyun and asked, "Xingyun, why do you want to learn martial arts?"

"To take revenge, to avenge the old servant, and those who exterminated my entire family, I won't let any of them go."

Li Xingyun was, after all, a child, and did not hide the resentment in his heart towards those enemies.

"Hmph, such heavy baleful aura, first read medical books for two years to temper your temperament."

Yang Shuzi revealed a displeased expression. Thinking about this child's identity, if he were to learn martial arts in the future, wouldn't he become a scourge?

However, he didn't show it, and said, "Xuan'er, Xingyun, Shu'er entered the sect earlier, from now on he will be your senior brother.

Xuan'er, if you have any questions about martial arts, you can first ask Shu'er for guidance, and if that doesn't work, you can ask me."

"Master, what about me?" Li Xingyun realized that what he had just said had made his master angry, and asked aggrievedly.

Answering Li Xingyun was a copy of the Treatise on Cold Damage that Yang Shuzi threw from the table.

Seeing this, Lu Linxuan covered her small face and couldn't stop giggling.

Yang Shuzi shook his head and turned to walk out of the house.

Seeing this, Wang Shu also prepared to leave. For him now, improving his strength was the most important thing.

"Senior Brother Shu, Master told me to ask you if I encounter anything I don't understand, is that okay?" Lu Linxuan ran over, looking at Wang Shu with a hopeful expression on her small face.

"Of course." Wang Shu smiled, the little Lu Linxuan in front of him was incredibly cute.

"Senior Brother Shu, what about me?" Li Xingyun didn't want to be left behind either, and asked with a hopeful expression as well.

"Junior Brother, a small doctor saves people, a great doctor saves the world. Master asked you to read medical books first for your own good!" Wang Shu said with a smile.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

Li Xingyun's smile was rather stiff as he listened, and he felt unhappy in his heart, thinking:

"Hmph, everyone is hiding things, if you don't teach me, you don't teach me, can't I just steal and learn it myself!"

Wang Shu naturally didn't know what Li Xingyun was thinking, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter.

He's just a child, how would he know the painstaking efforts of adults?

The following days were peaceful, just practicing martial arts. Moreover, because of the formulaic nature of the Azure Lotus Sword Song, Wang Shu didn't have any difficulty in understanding it at all; what he lacked was the heat of internal force.

001 hadn't triggered a Traffic mission, which made Wang Shu a little anxious, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Time passed by quietly, like flowing water, and half a year passed in a flash.

These days were very peaceful, except for Lu Linxuan coming to Wang Shu every day to ask about martial arts problems, Li Xingyun secretly watching from the side, and Yang Shuzi turning a blind eye.

But the peace was broken today...

"Ding, Traffic Pack Program [Four] randomly generated, do you want to implant it?" The long-lost voice of 001 sounded.

"Yes," Wang Shu replied without hesitation.

"Traffic Pack [Four] is being implanted, concept conversion: 'Ruthless Flower Destroyer'. Accept Lu Linxuan's challenge and defeat her. Defend the dignity of being the Eldest Brother, time limit: one incense stick. Completing the mission will randomly grant a Traffic Pack, data synchronization at eight percent."

"???"

"Ruthless Flower Destroyer, Lu Linxuan's challenge?" Wang Shu looked puzzled.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and Lu Linxuan ran over, panting.

"What's wrong, Junior Sister?" Wang Shu asked, feigning surprise.

"Senior Brother Shu, Xuan'er has recently encountered a bottleneck in martial arts, but she can't break through despite racking her brains," Lu Linxuan said.

"Oh, that's strange? Then why are you running so fast, Junior Sister?" Wang Shu asked.

"Master told me that when you encounter a martial arts bottleneck, you only need to let go of all your worries and have a battle with a clear mind,"

Lu Linxuan replied, but a sly look couldn't help flashing in her bright eyes.

"Oh, Junior Sister, you want to challenge me?" Wang Shu now understood what Lu Linxuan was trying to express in a roundabout way.

"Where, Xuan'er just wants to spar with Senior Brother," Lu Linxuan pretended to be very innocent.

If he didn't know the personality of this spoiled young lady, Wang Shu would have been deceived by Lu Linxuan's harmless appearance.

Don't look at Lu Linxuan's cute and sweet appearance. But this master's temper is very dark.

In the original story, Li Xingyun was completely controlled by his junior sister in the early stage, not daring to resist, succumbing to her power, without any sovereignty.

Of course, this does not rule out that Li Xingyun, this heartthrob, has a little fantasy about his junior sister.

Now that she has been in Sword Cottage for more than half a year, how could Lu Linxuan's temper possibly submit to others?

Although she is small, it does not affect her determination to become the big sister. So, she practiced martial arts hard for half a year, and finally set her sights on Wang Shu.

"Sparring? I'm afraid you want to use me to establish your prestige!" Wang Shu couldn't help but smile, seeing through Lu Linxuan's thoughts at a glance.

So he said, "Since Junior Sister wants to break through the bottleneck, then as Senior Brother, I naturally have the responsibility to help."

If he didn't earn this Traffic that was delivered to his door for free, it would be a disgrace to nature, and there was no difficulty at all!

"Then Senior Brother, you have to be careful, I'm going to attack!"

Lu Linxuan took out a wooden sword, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp. She twirled two or three beautiful sword flowers in the air, striking a handsome pose.

"Junior Sister, go for it!" Li Xingyun, who appeared from who knows where, lay on the grass beside Sword Cottage, cheering loudly.

Seeing this, Lu Linxuan smiled triumphantly, rotating the wooden sword in her wrist, creating streaks of sword shadows in the air as she attacked.

"Wow, so cool!" Li Xingyun exclaimed.

These seemingly gorgeous sword moves were actually full of flaws in Wang Shu's eyes, flashy but impractical.

He didn't even need to activate Insight Mode; he could pinpoint the flaws and deliver a fatal blow.

Wang Shu swayed his body, sometimes real, sometimes illusory, and a wooden sword suddenly appeared in his hand, which he swung out with force.

The power contained in the sword was heavy and forceful. With a crisp "clang," it directly knocked down Lu Linxuan's wooden sword.

The outcome was revealed in an instant, but 001 did not prompt that the task was completed, nor was there a reminder that the Traffic had been credited.

What exactly went wrong? For the sake of Traffic, Wang Shu thought carefully and reviewed the task description again:

"Ruthlessly destroy the flowers, accept Lu Linxuan's challenge, and defeat her. Defend the dignity of being the Eldest Senior Brother, time limit one incense stick."

"There's nothing wrong with it, ah? Oh, this 'ruthlessly destroy the flowers' needs to be emphasized!" Wang Shu suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.
