The world's top martial arts begins with women dressing up as men

Ni Yan's voice didn't sound loud, but it was clearly heard by the two men.

"You two must pick all the golden lotus buds."

When Liu Ruyi and Qi Pingyang heard this, they took action immediately.

Ni Yan threw it very skillfully, with each person getting close to a golden lotus.

Liu Ruyi used her not-so-skilled water-walking skills to run towards the flower in the middle of the pond.

Qi Pingyang couldn't run and could only swim.

But under the pond, there was silt from the decay of lotus leaves and lotus flowers. It didn’t feel like swimming underwater, but more like struggling in a swamp.

What's worse is that the silt formed by the lotus leaves and lotus flowers has extremely high resistance, far exceeding that of an ordinary swamp, making it difficult for even this master of internal organ refining to move forward.

Qi Pingyang had to stop and rest after walking a certain distance.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see Liu Ruyi already walking on the water as if it were flat ground, reaching out to grab the golden lotus.

Qi Pingyang secretly glanced at his master on the shore.

His master still had a smile on his face, but when he accidentally met his master's eyes, he shuddered and dared not look at him any longer.

Liu Ruyi grabbed the golden lotus bud and exerted a little force, but it did not break.

She was afraid that if she used too much force, she would injure the golden lotus, so she increased her strength bit by bit.

She used about 50% of her strength before the golden lotus fell into her hands.

So tough! Liu Ruyi let out a breath and then looked at Qi Pingyang.

There were only three golden lotus flowers in the pond. As an outsider, Liu Ruyi didn't want to steal the limelight from other disciples.

It was enough for her to pick one, and let Qi Pingyang pick the remaining two.

She stepped on the water and turned twice in place, but Qi Pingyang was still quite a distance away from his own golden lotus.

By the time Qi Pingyang took his flower, Liu Ruyi didn't know if she could hold on any longer.

Liu Ruyi estimated the time and decided not to wait any longer.

This golden lotus pod belonged to Grandmaster Zhou Tian. No matter how much or how little she picked, it would never reach her pocket. It would be better to take the golden lotus pod down and give it to Grandmaster Zhou Tian as soon as possible.

As for whether Qi Pingyang would lose face, haha, it’s not the first time that Qi Pingyang has lost face in front of her.

He probably has gotten used to it.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi rushed towards the third golden lotus.

With the experience from last time, Liu Ruyi controlled the strength and, the moment she touched the golden lotus pod, she pinched off the connection between the golden lotus pod and the rhizome and picked it intact.

Liu Ruyi jumped onto the corridor and presented two golden lotus pods to Ni Yan.

"Senior Ni."

Ni Yan looked at Liu Ruyi, her eyes sweeping from head to toe.

Only the part below the calves was wet, while the rest of the body was still dry.

Looking at her disciple who was still struggling in the pond, with his entire body except his face covered in green mud, Ni Yan really wanted to kick that thing out of the sect.

Otherwise, why do they say that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away.

Qi Pingyang, who was still struggling towards the golden lotus, suddenly felt a chill.

He sneezed loudly and accidentally buried his face in the water, accidentally inhaling some pool water. The rotten smell filled his nose and mouth, making him want to cry but without tears.

Fortunately, Ni Yan has already looked away, otherwise I really wouldn’t want it at all.

"Your golden lotus."

Ni Yan smiled, and faint smile lines appeared at the corners of her eyes. Not only did it not weaken her beauty, but it even made her look more gentle and generous.

"What you pick is yours."

Liu Ruyi was stunned.

The growth method of these golden lotus buds is so miraculous that they must be very valuable.

But no matter how precious it is, she will not covet it if it is not hers.

Therefore, Liu Ruyi always felt that Ni Yan simply asked them for help.

She never expected that Ni Yan actually wanted to give it to them.

Just give it to her simply.

To say that Liu Ruyi didn't want it would be an absolute lie.

But she knew very well what she should and should not ask for.

Liu Ruyi said, "Senior Ni, these golden lotus buds are too precious. You should take them back."

Ni Yan saw that Liu Ruyi was not retreating to advance, but was serious, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Xiao Tang, you really don't want to take me as your master?"

Liu Ruyi blinked. Weren’t they talking about the Golden Lotus? Why were they talking about becoming a disciple again?

It was the first time that Ni Yan saw Liu Ruyi with such a confused expression since she met her. She couldn't help laughing and even pinched Liu Ruyi's cheek.

Liu Ruyi: “…”

Ni Yan was in a good mood and her laughter spread throughout the manor.

Qi Pingyang, who had just struggled to the golden lotus root, was startled when he heard the laughter.

He hadn't heard his master laugh so heartily for a long time.

His next thought was that since the master was so happy, he should be able to pass the test easily when he went up later.

Brother Tang, Brother Tang, please try harder and make my master happier, so that I can feel more relaxed later.

After laughing, Ni Yan waved her hand and said, "I don't need this anymore. I prepared it for you guys."

Liu Ruyi wanted to say something else.

Ni Yan raised her hand to stop her, sighed and said, "I guess you already know some of the past between me and your master."

She walked to the corridor, leaned on the railing with her hands, looked into the distance, and looked a little lonely.

"However, the situation between the two of us is too complicated, so complicated that it is hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. So complicated that..."

She didn't say anything else, just sighed deeply.

it is more than words.

After calming down, Ni Yan turned to look at Liu Ruyi with a gentle look in her eyes. "But no matter what happens between your master and I, some things will not fade away with the passage of time. I look at you as if you were my son or nephew."

"Although you can't call me Master's wife, you can still call me Aunt."

Liu Ruyi's eyes are not blind. She can see that Ni Yan still has feelings for her cheap master, and these feelings are very deep.

She really wanted to say, "What a shame that guy has."

However, he was her master after all, so Liu Ruyi morally swallowed the words back.

As for "Aunt", Liu Ruyi bowed to Ni Yan and shouted, "Tang Yuan greets Aunt."

Grandmaster Zhou Tian was eager to let her fly his flag, it would be strange if she let him go.

Hearing the word "Aunt", Ni Yan smiled with her eyes curved.

"Okay, okay. Since I'm your aunt, you can't refuse anything I give you."

Liu Ruyi didn't expect that Ni Yan was waiting for her here.

Having said that, Liu Ruyi did not refuse and just said, "Aunt, I will keep one. Please take this one back. Or you can give it to Brother Qi."

At this time, Qi Pingyang finally climbed up the corridor carrying the last golden lotus.

He said, "Master, I have lived up to your trust and brought you the golden lotus."

Ni Yan looked at the bottom of the golden lotus and asked, "How much strength did you use?"

Qi Pingyang wiped his face and said with a wry smile: "I used all my strength to suck my breasts."

Ni Yan turned to Liu Ruyi again, "Xiao Tang, you were very comfortable when picking the golden lotus buds. I estimate that you didn't use more than 70% of your strength."

In fact, only 50% was used.

Liu Ruyi said this in her heart, but a look of surprise appeared on her face, "Aunt has good eyesight."
