Not long after Daley left, Hank strode into the yard and pushed open the door of the cabin.
"Sister, Mr. Daley came?”
"I've been here."
The woman shifted her gaze away from the book and looked at her younger brother with a mocking gaze.
"I have answered his question. Now, here comes your question.”
Hearing the woman's words, Hank felt a chill run down his spine, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Let's not talk about this first. What do you think of him?”
"How is it?"
The woman thought about it seriously.
"His brain is not bad. To be able to become a warrior at this age is considered average. He's quite polite and overall not bad.”
"Just like that?"
"What else can I do?"
"Don't you think he's very handsome?”
"Very handsome?"
The woman thought about it seriously.
"Yes, I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't mention it. She's quite good-looking. She had been too busy thinking about how to answer his question to notice this.”
"Are you still a woman?"
said Hank angrily.
"A person as handsome as a statue is standing in front of you, and your first reaction is to play the role of a good teacher?”
"What's wrong with that?"
The woman shrugged indifferently.
"It would be abnormal if I became infatuated with a good-looking man. You suddenly mentioned this to me. Have you been reading those strange novels recently and haven't practiced at all? Looks like I'll have to strengthen your training."
"I've been working very hard recently. Alan can prove it.”
Hank realized that he had gotten himself into trouble and hurriedly defended himself.
"Is that so? Then let me see your results."
The woman stood up.
"The range is this courtyard. I'll give you five minutes to find a place to hide. If you're not caught by me within fifteen minutes, you win. If you're caught by me five times in an hour, you lose. If you win, I won't care about you pushing a person to my place and causing me trouble. If you lose, I'll shave off one of your eyebrows. If you lose for three days in a row, you'll have to stand on the streets for a day.”
"This isn't fair!"
Hank shouted.
"The gap between us is so big."
"Big what?"
The woman looked at her younger brother with a teasing gaze.
"I'm only three years older than you. If you can't even deal with me, you still want to climb to the top?”
"Sister, you want me to catch up to a super genius like you?”
Hank said helplessly.
"What genius?"
When the woman heard her brother's words, she suddenly felt a little unnatural.
"How old are you? How many true geniuses have you seen? I haven't even reached the Martial Soul rank yet, how can I be compared to those people standing at the peak?”
"I'm sorry."
Hank accidentally touched his sister's sore spot and lowered his head.
"Alright, let's not talk about this."
The woman calmed herself down and clapped her hands.
"Alan."
"Yes."
Alan, who had been guarding the door for a long time, answered and walked into the house.
" Start the special training. You will be the referee."
"Yes."
"Alan!"
Seeing that his companion was carrying out his sister's orders without any objection, Hank couldn't help but shout.
"Whose side are you on?"
"Of course it's on your side."
Alan answered without hesitation.
"Everything Miss does is for your own good, so I firmly support her.”
"Don't you think that your words are shameless? Sister wants to shave off my eyebrows and make me stand on the streets for a day to be humiliated. Is this for my own good?”
"Only then can your fighting spirit and potential be stimulated.”
Alan's face was full of sincerity.
"And I feel that even if you can't hide from Miss on the third day, she will let you go. You just have to try not to get caught five times in the first two days. You've been going out a little too much recently. If you don't have eyebrows, you can only practice hard at home. It's good for your advancement, so I think Miss's decision is very wise.”
Hearing Alan's answer, Hank almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Well said, Alan."
Seeing that Alan had actually come up with such a reason, the woman could not help but laugh.
"Since Alan has already explained my painstaking efforts, I don't think you will refuse, right, my dear brother? Moreover, this is the condition you promised me.”
"Alright, five minutes."
Hank walked out of the room helplessly.
"Alan."
After confirming that Daley was looking for a place to hide, the woman placed her hands behind her back and stared at the young man in front of her.
"You've already reached the level of a warrior, right? Why did you hide it from Hank?”
"Because if I tell him, I'm afraid he'll go into the mountains to cultivate without caring about anything.”
Alan replied.
"There are a large number of wild beasts that are about to advance in the mountains. It's entirely up to God's will whether he or the wild beasts advance first. Anyway, at this stage, I can just describe my cultivation in my mind. I don't need to travel for the time being.”
"Yes."
The woman thought for a moment and nodded.
" You and I are the same kind of people. We can draw the outline of the moves in our minds. Hank can't. Although he has very keen intuition, he can only experience it in actual combat. But no matter what, not going out to travel is not good for you. After all, there are some things that can't be experienced from books.”
"What's the big deal about that? It's just that we'll advance a little later.”
The smile on Alan's face was unusually gentle.
"My goal is not to surpass him, but to stand by his side in place of you, miss, and help him reach that peak. So I have to go out sooner or later. Whether or not he can reach the peak depends on himself. If he can't meet the requirements, it's useless no matter how strong I am.”
"Thank you."
The woman looked at the young man in front of her, her eyes somewhat dejected.
"It's just that it's been hard on you."
"I wouldn't dare."
Alan said in a panic.
"Alan has always seen the price that Miss has paid for us. Everything that I have done is nothing.”
"You are just like everyone else."
The woman waved her hand helplessly.
"You always thought that I would abandon my martial arts for you, or else I would have reached such a level. In fact, although I have some talent in martial arts, my interest is not in that at all.”
"Miss, you can say that in front of others.”
Alan said sincerely.
"But how could this lowly one not notice after being in the residence for so many years? If Miss really had no interest in learning martial arts, how could she have achieved what she had today?”
Looking at her loyal subordinates, the woman sighed.
"Ever since my father fell ill, my future has been decided. Hank didn't have any management talent at all. Instead, he had some talent in martial arts, so he had no choice but to let him be. Moreover, how should the conditions of martial soul rank, courage, and responsibility be reflected? I only heard Mr. Tang say that this kind of thing is different for everyone. If only he had asked more in detail back then.”
Hearing the woman's words, Alan fell silent. For a moment, the room was silent.
"Right, Hank's martial arts progress has been really slow recently. What is he doing?”
The woman broke the silence in the room.
Hearing the woman's question, a smile appeared on Alan's face.
"He's learning how to draw. The young master's talent in painting was really good, and the painting teacher admired him very much.”
"If he doesn't focus on practicing martial arts, why would he learn this?”
"Miss, he once secretly told me that he knew that Miss also wanted to take a look at the peak of the mountain range. Therefore, he must learn how to draw well and draw everything he saw at the peak for Miss to see.”
"This brat."
The woman's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
"Alan, how many minutes has it been?"
"Miss, it's been twenty minutes.”
"Is that so?"
The woman shook her head helplessly.
"Let's consider him the winner today. Tell him that I'm looking forward to his masterpiece.”
"Yes, Miss."
