Simultaneous Transmigration: My Strength Comes Entirely from My Own

Page 6

Even Luke, who awakened to his past life after his mother's death when he was seven, was still restrained when he saw Yin Tianxue.

Perhaps it was Yin Tianxue who reminded him of his sister from his past life.

Before Luke time-traveled, he also had a cousin, from my aunt's family.

In a way, Luke was also a left-behind child in his previous life, with his parents working away from home and him being fostered by his aunt.

Luke's personality hasn't changed much in his past and present lives, but his cousin is his only nemesis.

My aunt and uncle work away from home, and my cousin takes care of their daily lives. Rather than being afraid of her, I'm more grateful to her. Although we're cousins, we're almost like siblings.

I vaguely remember when your cousin got married, Luke got completely drunk, then found a place to hug himself and cry, expressing his reluctance to part.

Of course, no one saw this scene, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing.

Luke's attitude towards Yin Tianxue was not only because Yin Tianxue treated him like a younger brother, but also because Luke projected his feelings for his cousin from his previous life onto Yin Tianxue.

So after hearing what Tie Feng brought, Luke turned around dejectedly.

"Let me emphasize, it's not that I'm afraid of her, it's just that I feel that even if I run away from home, I should at least tell my family."

Luke's explanation seemed a bit deliberate, but Iron Wind didn't dare to laugh at all.

Firstly, because Tie Feng had always considered himself a retainer of the Yin family and was extremely loyal, he would naturally not mock his master.

Secondly, he knew Luke's way of doing things, and if he laughed in front of him, who knew what kind of tricks Luke would play on him later.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but chuckle, her delicate body swaying wildly.

At this moment, she roughly guessed Luke's identity. After all, Yujian Manor was the ruler of this area, like a local emperor. Zhao Yun made a living within the territory of Yujian Manor, and her business required her to know the basic information about Yujian Manor.

Luke!!!

He is the nephew of Yin Hao, the master of Yujian Manor. His parents died early and he was raised by Yin Hao, who treated him like his own son. He is said to be a martial arts prodigy, but he is lazy. His martial arts skills are second only to the master Yin Hao and the second master Yin Zhong in Yujian Manor.

However, Zhao Yun had seen Yin Hao fight from afar before, and with Zhao Yun's discerning eye, he still felt that Luke was stronger than Yin Hao had fought before.

"When we get there, you'd better think carefully about what you should and shouldn't say. Remember, you're a 'hostage'!"

Luke leaned close to Zhao Yun's ear and whispered something.

Zhao Yun's delicate body trembled slightly, not because she was frightened by Luke, but because she had never been so close to a man before.

Although they had been close enough before, Zhao Yun still couldn't help but feel shy when Luke's warm breath touched her ear, and both her ears turned pink.

At the same time, she was secretly embarrassed and annoyed. How could this young man be so frivolous? Who did he think he was?

Luke has been single in both his past and present lives, and he has absolutely no idea what Zhao Yun is thinking.

In fact, he took Zhao Yun with him on the journey not only to find a maid who could take care of him, but also to keep Han Batian and his men in check.

The matter of the Heavenly Flood Dragon Sword can be revealed appropriately. After all, the place where Han Batian and the others lived used to be the old residence of the Long family. It is reasonable to explain why the Long family's sword was left there, picked up by them, and ended up in their own hands.

However, since this matter involved Yin Zhong, he had no choice but to prepare himself.

Although he was a corporate slave in his previous life, he still understands the ugliness of human nature very well.

We cannot lower our guard just because Yin Zhong is our ancestor. It is better to be cautious in everything we do, after all, caution is always the best policy.

.................................................................................................................................

Inside the Imperial Sword Manor, in front of Yin Tianxue's boudoir, the young lady of the manor sat at the door, embroidering flowers in her hands. While threading the needle, she asked the maid beside her a question.

"Xiao Guang, how long has Tie Feng been gone?"

The maid named Xiaoguang replied, "Miss, it's been about half an hour. Young Master, you can run away from home, but why are you climbing and jumping around in public, even using your lightness skill, as if you're afraid others won't know? And you're with a woman. By the way, Miss, do you know who that woman is?"

Xiao Guang is a maid who has been by Yin Tianxue's side since she was a child. This girl is good in every way, except that she is very curious and also a chatterbox.

A glint flashed in Yin Tianxue's eyes, and she said, "It's precisely because I don't know who that woman is that I had Tie Feng deliver my message. Otherwise, Luke wouldn't listen to Father's words alone. Luke is carefree by nature and is not young anymore. There's nothing wrong with him going out to travel, but since he has a woman of unknown origin by his side, I, as his older sister, naturally have to keep an eye on her for him. After all, he's still young, and it wouldn't be good if he were deceived."

Yin Tianxue only has this one younger brother. Although he is her cousin, he has been raised in her home since he was a child, so he is almost like her biological brother. Moreover, unlike her older brother, her younger brother is of excellent character and martial arts skills. Apart from being a little lazy, Yin Tianxue thinks he has no flaws. Naturally, she has to pay more attention to him.

Chapter 10: Martial Arts Crossover: Damn, the old man is really biased.

Luke never expected that Yin Tianxue would call him back for this reason.

So when Luke was facing Yin Tianxue, who was smiling and asking him where the girl was, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"This is actually not that complicated. I was doing a good deed on the road and saved her life. As a result, she cried and begged to repay me with her body. Moreover, her parents have passed away, and I couldn't just watch a young girl like her wandering around. So I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to keep her by my side as a maid."

Luke was making up a story with a straight face, but Yin Tianxue knew him too well. She just stared at Luke with narrowed eyes, making Luke feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Alright, I won't ask about the woman then. Let me ask you something else. Are you planning to run away from home?"

After looking at Luke for a while, Yin Tianxue shook her head and spoke.

Luke waved his hand and said, "Look at what you're saying. What do you mean by running away from home? I just want to go out and see the world. It's so big, I have to go and see it."

Running away from home is impossible; I would never run away from home in my entire life. How can this be called running away from home? At most, I just want to go out and travel.

Yin Tianxue smiled helplessly and said, "Fine, it's not running away from home, it's going out to see the world. But it's better to be frugal on the road than poor. Even if you want to go out and see the world, do you have any money with you? Do you think a pampered young master like you is planning to live a life of hardship?"

Luke was taken aback at first, then sighed. He really didn't have a single penny on him. He had originally planned to find a few bandit strongholds along the way and rob their rich to help his poor, but he didn't expect to be called out by Yin Tianxue halfway through the journey.

"Here, take this. These are silver notes from Datong Money Shop, which can be exchanged throughout the country."

Yin Tianxue understood what Luke was thinking as soon as she saw his expression. She sighed, took a stack of silver notes from Xiao Guang behind her, and handed them to Luke.

After all, he is her own brother, and as his older sister, she always has to fill in the gaps in his thinking and make up for any things he might have overlooked.

In Yin Tianxue's mind, Luke was more suitable than her elder brother to inherit the position of master of Yujian Manor.

Although Luke's surname is not Yin, he still has the blood of the Yin family. At worst, after Luke gets married and has children, he can choose one who can inherit the position of the manor lord and change his surname to Yin.

Unfortunately, the eldest brother, despite having the legitimate title, lacked the talent of a manor lord.

His younger brother had the talent to inherit the position of the manor lord, but he was too lazy and never even thought about it.

"Isn't this a bit too much? Did your uncle give it to you?"

Luke didn't stand on ceremony. He roughly counted the silver notes and found that there were about thirty or forty thousand taels. He asked in surprise.

“It’s my own money.”

Yin Tianxue shook her head and said calmly.

Luke was immediately shocked and exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, all of this is yours? Did you rob someone?"

As the only young lady of Yujian Manor, Yin Tianxue naturally had pocket money, which was about a thousand taels a month. This would be enough for a family of three to spend for more than ten years, but for Yin Tianxue, it was just a monthly allowance.

Of course, a rich girl is different from an ordinary person.

However, it would take Yin Tianxue at least three or four years to save up 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver, and she would have to not spend a single penny during those three or four years.

But based on Luke's understanding of Yin Tianxue, this is completely impossible.

Aside from cosmetics, Yin Tianxue also enjoys tending to rare flowers and plants, which is quite expensive. Yet, she still manages to get herself 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver. What else could this be but robbery?

As for Luke's allowance, sorry, Luke spends money about the same as Yin Tianxue, or even more. He often spends it all before the month is over, and he has to go to Yin Tianqi and Yin Tianxue to ask for money from time to time. Occasionally, he also has to extort a meal from Tie Feng.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This money came from the business in my shop. You don't really think I'm like you, doing nothing all day, do you?"

Yin Tianxue rolled her eyes at Luke and began to explain.

Yin Tianxue owns quite a few businesses, which are what Yin Hao gave her to rely on.

In Yin Hao's view, his daughter can't practice martial arts. Although she has the support of the Imperial Sword Manor, if she has some assets, she can live a better life even after she gets married. This is probably a common characteristic of all fathers: raise sons poorly and daughters richly. Luke and Yin Tianqi don't have this kind of treatment.

"Damn it! The old man is so biased, he only gave it to you and not to me."

Luke pursed his lips and muttered to himself.

Yin Tianxue glared at him with her phoenix eyes, and Luke immediately shut up.

"I've prepared the carriage for you. Since you're going out, you need to take good care of yourself. The outside world is not like home. I've also packed your luggage. Although you are skilled in martial arts, you have never actually traveled in the martial world. Be careful in everything you do. Don't be careless just because you are skilled in martial arts. If things are not going well, running away is the best option."

Luke waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you know my martial arts skills. Even my uncle is no match for me. How many people in the martial arts world can beat me? Do you think everyone in the martial arts world has a second uncle?"

When Yin Zhong was mentioned, Yin Tianxue's expression became somewhat subtle. She pretended to be casual and asked him.

"So I underestimated you. I didn't expect your martial arts to improve so quickly. Even your father is no match for you. So how long do you think it will take before you can be a match for your second uncle?"

Yin Zhong has always been a major concern for Yin Tianxue, who feels that he has ulterior motives. After all, who in their right mind would dig such a large underground city? No one knows when he built it, and how he managed to keep it a secret from everyone.

Moreover, Yin Zhong is the most skilled martial artist in the Imperial Sword Manor. If he were to plot something, who in the Imperial Sword Manor could stop him?

So after accidentally discovering Yin Zhong's underground palace when she was a child, Yin Tianxue secretly learned Yin Zhong's demonic skills.

This technique is indeed very advanced, allowing Yin Tianxue's martial arts to improve by leaps and bounds. However, it is unclear whether it is due to insufficient aptitude or practicing it incorrectly, but it has caused Yin Tianxue to hide a heart that could go berserk at any time beneath her gentle appearance.

Once she went berserk, Yin Tianxue couldn't control her urge to go on a killing spree, and her body was half cold and half burning, causing her extreme torment.

"As for my second uncle, he seems to be no match for me now, but that might change in a few years. I'm improving very quickly. Even without any extraordinary encounters, relying solely on my own efforts, I should be able to at least draw with him in a few years, if not defeat him."

Chapter 11: Martial Arts Chronicle: Sister, let's not practice this skill for now.

Luke had some knowledge of the martial arts skills Yin Tianxue practiced.

The divine and demonic martial arts she cultivates are an ancient martial art, originating from the martial arts code of the ancient times when gods and humans coexisted.

This martial art has a very deep connection with the Tong clan, as it was left behind by their ancestor Chi You during the Battle of Zhuolu.

The martial arts of gods and demons are powerful, but they also come with great risks and side effects.

Practitioners often begin to fall ill and suffer from strange diseases after practicing for 5 years.

Yin Tianxue started secretly practicing this martial art when she was 9 years old, and as a result, she suffered from illness for a long time.

Even within the Tong clan, this Chi You Demon Art is strictly forbidden for its members to cultivate, because those lacking the aptitude simply cannot withstand the rapid advancement in power. Not only will they be devoured by the power, but they will also be controlled by killing intent, which is absolutely intolerable within the Tong clan.

As a once-in-five-hundred-years genius of the Tong clan, Yin Zhong, the chosen one, naturally had enough aptitude and resources to cultivate this demonic art.

Although Yin Tianxue has good aptitude and is a descendant of Yin Zhong, she is still not up to the task of cultivating this martial art.

Luke originally wanted to stop Yin Tianxue from practicing this martial art, because this martial art really shortens one's lifespan. Even though Luke had the power of the myriad worlds as his trump card, he dared not rashly cultivate it.

However, Luke never had a chance to stop it. By the time he discovered it, Yin Tianxue's internal energy had already been cultivated and was circulating on its own. To stop it, he would have to destroy the demonic art, which would also cause considerable damage to Yin Tianxue's body. Luke was not a hermit-style divine doctor who could destroy Yin Tianxue's demonic art and be confident in curing her.

Luke knew that Yin Tianxue was wary of Yin Zhong, but he was currently no match for Yin Zhong.

However, Luke wasn't too worried about Yin Zhong. As long as the Tong family and the Long family weren't involved, Yin Zhong was just Second Master Yin, dutiful to his family. But once those two families were involved, Yin Zhong would become that almost demonic demigod.

"Sister, you shouldn't continue practicing your martial arts."
