Time in a collapsing world

"...?"

Lin Chaoyu was puzzled and didn't understand why the friend of his master became even more angry.

Is it possible that there are still women in this world who hate being praised for their beauty?

No, that's not right...

Lin Chaoyu finally realized something and carefully felt Yae Li's breath again.

She had a preconceived notion before, thinking that such a beautiful person could not be a man. Now that she had this perception, she realized that she was short-sighted.

"You...are not a woman?"

"Look at my chest that's like steel plates, do they look like me?"

"..."

For some reason, Lin Chaoyu inexplicably thought of his master, but quickly shook his head and kept reflecting on himself in his heart.

Changing the subject, "Are you here to visit Master as well?"

"Yes, we also need to get some natural and pollution-free fruits. We can't go there empty-handed."

Yae Li didn't dwell on the gender issue and wanted to chat, "Now that you have your master on the mountain, who else is there?"

"A senior with pink hair, a senior wearing a mask, and a doll senior who looks very much like Cang Xuan."

"Are you Alicia, the Gray Snake, and the Cangxuan Book?"

"Yes, I am not comfortable addressing them by their names."

"It's really strict... Is this all Hua's rule?"

"No, Master doesn't care about these things. This is just Chao Yu's self-restraint. Several disciples, including me, believe that we should be respectful to a master like you."

Lin Chaoyu and her fellow junior sisters and brothers followed Hua to learn martial arts for a long time, and during this period they met many of their master's old friends. As they got to know each other better, they all vaguely realized that almost everyone was unfathomable, and sometimes the topics they talked about were beyond the understanding of ordinary people like them.

The master would often teach them martial arts, although sometimes he was as unapproachable as an immortal, and would be unprecedentedly cold-blooded towards those who were "possessed by evil spirits", but perhaps because he had the company of his old friends, the master was not completely heartless.

Lin Chaoyu was very glad for this, otherwise the relationship between them and their master who had given them a new life might have become even more strained.

"The world of martial arts is really troublesome..."

Yaezaki shook his head, he had seen similar readings in previous civilizations, but he still wasn't used to encountering characters with a martial arts background in real life.

"No, thanks to Hua, Shenzhou may now be a fusion of cultivation and martial arts?"

Lin Chaoyu looked at Yae Li mumbling. He could understand some of the words, but when they were put together, it was confusing.

Perhaps this is the unfathomable depth of the masters? Even a simple sentence may contain meanings that are difficult for ordinary people to understand?

Lin Chaoyu thought so. Even if people like Yae Li just kept their mouths shut, she could still imagine a novel of several thousand words.

Yae Li understood the basic situation and didn't want to disturb Lin Chaoyu anymore, especially since Hua's little disciple had been so respectful to him that he unconsciously developed the reserve of a master and was unable to say many things.

The two said goodbye. Lin Chaoyu looked at Yae Li's back, thinking that maybe the person that Senior Alicia loves is just like this senior, outstanding in both appearance and conversation?

……

Shortly after parting with Lin Chaoyu, Yae Li was walking around looking for people and soon found several familiar figures.

He walked up and patted the black-haired head of someone who was selecting small toys in front of a stall, causing the other person to glare back. However, when he saw Yaezaki, his red eyes showed surprise again.

"Li, you're here?"

Danzhu shook the small drum he bought from the stall. The small hammer connected by two wires made a "gudong gudong" sound when it was hit. "Would you like me to buy one? It's of good quality."

"Not only are you like a child physically, but your mind has also degenerated?"

Yaeri deliberately straightened his body so that Danzhu's head could only reach his chest.

"Hey! Speak politely, why are you making personal attacks?!"

Danzhu took the drum and kept hitting it next to Yae Li's ear, as if he wanted to annoy him to death in this way.

At the same time, Cang Xuan, who was at the next stall, also noticed this place, came closer, looked at the fruit in Yae Li's hand, and said unceremoniously, "I'm hungry."

“There’s someone selling food next door.”

"But I prefer to eat food that other people pay for."

"You guy..."

Yae Li handed a pear to Cang Xuan and also gave one to Dan Zhu, which stopped the sound of drums beating in her ears.

Watching the two simply wipe the surface of the pear with their hands and start eating, Yae Li asked: "Where are Gray Xiu and the others? Aren't they with you?"

"They went to another street where there are lots of small activities. Maybe you can go and have some fun?"

Cang Xuan suggested, and Dan Zhu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, come with us, there are many games that Cang Xuan and I can't handle, please, we pay and you do the work, just as revenge for your mockery of my height just now!"

Yaeri had seen some of the small street games in Shinano and had a general understanding of them, so she nodded and was taken over by Danzhu and Cangxuan.

……

"Catch! Hit! Hit!"

On another street, Yaeri followed the two sisters and heard the noisy noise of the crowd. Compared with those in Shinano, the folk games here seemed to be more popular.

Yaeri took a quick glance and easily found the blue color in the gap between the crowd. Now she was holding a few bamboo sticks, standing behind the stall line and throwing them at the small things inside. She could take away the corresponding object into whichever bamboo tube the bamboo stick was inserted. This was the rule of the game.

This little thing certainly wasn't a problem for Grayshure, a fusion warrior, especially since she had grown up and was able to control her power more easily.

Soon, amid the cheers of the crowd, Grace accurately hit the farthest bamboo tube with the stick in her hand, which also corresponded to the most precious grand prize.

Although the boss felt a little pained, he was honest and handed the exquisite bamboo lantern that he had spent a lot of effort to make to the happy Grace.

Yae Li signaled Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan not to make any sound, and she sneaked up behind the unsuspecting Gray Xiu and covered her eyes with both hands.

"Guess who I am?"

But before the other party could answer, Yaeri's own eyes were blinded by another pair of rough hands.

"Guess who I am? Brat?"

"..."

Hearing the malicious voice coming from behind, Yaeri silently lowered her hand that was blocking Graysh's view.

"Hen, there's no need. I'm just interacting with your lovely daughter. I feel like you're going to pop my eyes out the next moment..."

Yaeri was undoubtedly exaggerating, but he did feel that the hands covering his eyeballs increased their strength a little.
