" Jingming!"
A person dressed in training clothes, who clearly looked like a high school student, greeted Yu Jingming.
"Yes, practice hard," Yu Jingming replied with a smile.
His steps, which were about to turn, came to a halt after the other party unleashed a slash.
After taking a careful look, Yu Jingming walked over.
"Your angle is slightly off; this cut should be a little lower, and then..."
A moment later, Yu Jingming, having finished his instruction, continued walking towards the backyard amidst the high school student's words of thanks.
He soon arrived at the backyard.
The backyard isn't very big, but it's still quite spacious.
At this moment, a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting on a stool in the backyard.
She placed her feet lightly on the edge of the stool, basking in the Sun while scrolling through her phone.
Seemingly having witnessed something amusing, a snicker escaped her lips.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Jingming, walking over with some curiosity.
"Huh? Brother, you're back!" Yu Chunhe and saw Yu Jingming, then quickly sat up straight.
"Yes!" Yu Jingming a smile.
"How was it? How was it? How did it go at the Martial Arts Association today?" Yu Chunhe asked hurriedly.
"Guess who taught us cultivation today?" Yu Jingming asked with a smile.
"Hmm..." Yu Chunhe tapped her chin lightly with her finger, pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Shen Heng?"
"Huh? How did you know?" Yu Jingming's lips curled up in surprise.
"Since you've asked that, it must be someone I know. The only people I know who can teach you cultivation are Sister Gu Nan and Mr. Shen Heng. And if it were Sister Gu Nan, you definitely wouldn't be in this state now," Yu Chunhe stated her reasoning.
"You're so smart!" Yu Jingming chuckled and ruffled his sister's hair.
Yu Chunhe slapped away the hand that Yu Jingming was using to rub his head.
"Stop talking about that. Did Mr. Shen Heng give you any extra tutoring?"
"No, not at all," Yu Jingming.
"Hey, what's the use of that! You even taught him swordsmanship before, brother," Yu Chunhe said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Alright, even if Mr. Shen Heng wanted to teach me, I couldn't. The rules of the Supervision Bureau are very strict." Yu Jingming smiled. "However..."
"But what?" Yu Chunhe looked up at his brother.
"However, Mr. Shen Heng told me that even if one doesn't have the ability..."
Yu Jingming recounted his conversation with Mr. Shen Heng that morning to his younger sister.
"So, in other words, even if you don't have the ability, it doesn't really matter, right?" Yu Chunhe's eyes widened.
"There will definitely be an impact, but even without the ability, through hard work and cultivation, one won't be weaker than those with lower ability levels," Yu Jingming.
"That's enough, brother, you know?" Yu Chunhe and became somewhat excited.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Jingming looked at his sister with some curiosity.
"That's how the protagonists in novels are; they never follow the usual path!" Yu Chunhe said earnestly.
"As long as you continue to cultivate diligently, even those capable ones will be trampled under your feet!"
"Should I awaken another ability later?" Yu Chunhe muttered to himself.
"If it awakens, it must be an incredibly powerful ability, and then it will wreak havoc everywhere."
"It's fine if you don't awaken, just leave it as it is..."
"Didn't I always tell you to watch less of that mindless stuff?" Yu Jingming looked at his sister with a headache. "Besides, I've already failed three times. I can't try a fourth time; that would be too dangerous!"
"So what if it's the fourth time? Who knows what kind of research might come up in the future, and we can keep trying to awaken it." Yu Chunhe said, sticking out her tongue at Yu Jingming.
"Hehehe..."
However, she soon seemed to see something and quickly stood at attention.
Yu Jingming realized something and turned to look at the person who came out of the house next door.
He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was wearing a white training uniform and had a somewhat rugged face.
"Dad," Yu Jingming called out to the person who had come.
"Have you learned how to cultivate?" Yu Zhenzhong looked at his son.
"Yes, I've learned it." Yu Jingming nodded in response.
"That's good." Yu Zhenzhong said, his gaze sweeping over the brother and sister before settling on Yu Chunhe.
"When Chunhe is old enough next spring, I will arrange for her to teach swordsmanship to the members of the Supervision Bureau. If she successfully awakens her powers, she can join the Supervision Bureau."
"So, one of you is in the Martial Arts Association, and the other is in the Supervision Bureau..."
"No, Dad, wait a minute!!"
Yu Zhenzhong was interrupted by Yu Jingming before he could finish speaking.
"Haven't I already joined the Martial Arts Association? Why do I still need to send Chunhe to the Supervision Bureau?" Yu Jingming stared intently at his father.
"Why?" Yu Zhenzhong turned his gaze to Yu Jingming.
"Of course, it's so that we can better establish ourselves in the future!"
"But haven't I already joined the Martial Arts Association?"
"When will you ever grow up?" Yu Zhenzhong, his brows furrowed.
"As an official agency, the Supervision Bureau Supervision Bureau boasts the largest and strongest pool of martial artists in the country, so resources will undoubtedly be prioritized for it."
"Things that the Supervision Bureau doesn't want, or that are superfluous, will end up outside."
"So, where else can you go besides the Supervision Bureau? The Martial Arts Association?"
"What do you think the Martial Arts Association is?"
"To put it nicely, it's the largest martial arts organization in the country."
"But to put it bluntly, anyone capable of cultivation can join the Martial Arts Association."
What's the point of joining such an organization?
"If you hadn't failed to awaken your powers three times, do you think I would have let you join the Martial Arts Association?"
"Even if the next person to learn knife skills has to wait a year in the Supervision Bureau of the surrounding provinces, I'll make you wait, and then I'll send you there."
"But, this..."
Yu Jingming opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He could only shake his head and insist:
"No, Chunhe can't go."
"Why?" Yu Zhenzhong, barely suppressing his anger as he looked at Yu Jingming.
" The Supervision Bureau is too dangerous. They have to constantly face the Calamity Beast. Although there might be no problem in the short term, it's easy for things to go wrong in the long run," Yu Jingming.
"It's normal to enjoy rights while also bearing obligations." Yu Zhenzhong's eyes narrowed slightly.
"And the Supervision Bureau isn't as dangerous as you think."
"If I hadn't failed to awaken seven years ago, it wouldn't be your turn now."
"Besides, do you think you can just join the Supervision Bureau whenever you want?"
