Looking at Ji Li who recognized him, Lu Xun smiled slightly and asked, “How did you recognize me?”

This was the equivalent of him acknowledging his identity.

Ji Li’s slightly tense body quickly relaxed, turning into the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

“I don’t know, I just felt that even though you’ve changed in appearance, you still seem so familiar.” She looked at Lu Xun and asked, “Why have you changed in appearance?”

“Why? Don’t I look good?” Lu Xun joked.

“You looked better before.” Ji Li muttered quietly, her voice getting softer the more she spoke.

Lu Xun raised his hand and lightly flicked her forehead, laughing, “How dare you criticize your Young Elder’s appearance!”

“You indeed looked better before!” Ji Li, as an established fanatic for good looks, was persistent.

If these words were heard by the Teacher, he may feel a little heartbroken.

Lu Xun waved his hand and said, “Alright, all right, I just changed my appearance for convenience when I was outside the sect doing some things.”

“How did you manage to do this?” asked Ji Li curiously.

“Illusion Technique, called At Will.” Lu Xun explained.

While speaking, he dissolved the illusion and returned to his original appearance.

“Can… can you teach me?” Ji Li looked up at him, her eyes full of a desire to learn.

“Hmm? Why would you want to learn the Illusion Technique?” Lu Xun asked, puzzled.

Upon his question, Ji Li’s face turned red and she mumbled in barely audible tones, “If I learn it, I can appear as you like…”

Hearing this, Lu Xun flicked her forehead again.

However, it did occur to him that using illusion in this way might indeed provide some thrills.

At this moment, Lu Xun noticed the red trinket on Ji Li’s black skirt belt and asked, “Why are you carrying it with you?”

It was the red packet he gave Ji Li during the New Year, with a storage ring in it, and Spirit Stones inside the ring.

Ji Li’s face was flushed, but her eyes were bright. She stared at Lu Xun and said, “After all, it’s the first gift you gave me in the true sense!”

“What about the Spirit Stones inside? Did you use them?” Lu Xun asked further.

“No!” Ji Li answered.

Lu Xun: “…”

He wanted so much to say, if you’re not going to spend them, can you give them back to me?

At this point, he looked at Ji Li’s face and thought to himself, “She’s grown up, her baby fat has receded somewhat, but only somewhat.”

Such a chubby little face, it must feel great to pinch it, right?

Just as he was about to pinch her cheek, an unexpected incident happened.

Ji Li was curiously examining the Spirit Crow on Lu Xun’s shoulder, the dim-witted crow had hit her cute trigger.

She couldn’t resist turning her head to speak to Lu Xun, and her little mouth came in contact with the hand he had raised mischievously.

“Wow! Lu Xun, your little bird is so cu…mm!”

Lu Xun’s thumb had somehow ended up in her mouth.

Ji Li: “!!!”

Lu Xun: “???”

He could feel the moist, warm sensation on his finger.

Their contact was accidental, but Ji Li, out of reflex, closed her mouth.

Lu Xun looked at her wide-eyed gaze, as if she dared not even blink, and quickly withdrew his finger.

Ji Li’s breath was slightly rushed, her heart pounding.

It felt like there was a popcorn machine in her heart that had just exploded!

She quickly raised her sleeve to wipe Lu Xun’s finger, her blushing face almost burying herself somewhere, unable to gather the courage to look up at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun also felt a bit embarrassed, but being thick-skinned and not an innocent youth, he managed to appear calm.

The kind of person like Lu Xun is known as a scoundrel, and this time Ji Li really did lick the dog accidentally.

Only the spirit crow on his shoulder was still looking at the two of them, its head tilted to one side, looking as foolish as ever.

The crow’s mouth tried to open but was restrained by a strip of cloth, unable to produce a sound.

It was evident that Ji’s House had been thoroughly cleaned by Ji Li using the Dust Removal Technique, it was rather neat.

Currently, Ji Li went back inside her room to prepare bedding for Lu Xun, while he was wandering around the courtyard.

He could see that the courtyard had once been meticulously cared for.

This was evidenced by the plants and trees in the surroundings.

Unfortunately, after the courtyard was deserted, without anyone to care for it, the large tree still flourished, but the majority of the other potted plants and flowers had withered.

Life is sometimes like this. If you just let it grow freely, it might fare better, but if you confine it to a pot and care for it meticulously, it might perish quickly if that care is lost.

At that moment, Ji Li had just finished preparing the bedding, she came out to the courtyard and saw Lu Xun squatting, observing the withered plants.

She went over to Lu Xun and squatted down with him.

If viewed from the side, the curves of her stunning figure could be clearly seen as she squatted down.

Looking at these plants, Ji Li said, “Lu Xun, can you guess who planted these?”

“Your mother?” Lu Xun asked.

Ji Li shook her head and said, “No, you guessed wrong, it was actually my father who planted them.”

“Oh?” This made Lu Xun slightly surprised.

Ji Li smiled with a nostalgic look on her face and said, “Although our family has a martial arts lineage, my father was not talented, and his martial arts weren’t very good.”

“My mother was different; before she married my father, she was quite a famous female knight in the martial world.”

“She loved flowers a lot, but she was very clumsy. Apart from martial arts, she was bad at everything else, such as cooking, embroidery, and even gardening.”

Lu Xun looked at her and said, “So, your father cared for these plants for her?”

Ji Li nodded vigorously and said, “My mother just bought these or dug them up from the mountain, and my father always took exceptionally good care of them.”

Lu Xun gave a faint smile, and he could feel the warmth and love between them.

A man from a martial arts lineage, interacting with plants and flowers every day for his wife.

Ji Li, looking at the plants, continued, “Actually, my mother and I both knew that the uncles from the same martial arts lineage would often mock my father for this.”

“They felt that my father lacked the masculinity of a martial man.”

At this point, Ji Li wrinkled her cute little nose and snorted, “Hmph! They may talk big, but none of them could defeat my mother.”

“Did your father care about what they said?” Lu Xun asked.

Ji Li showed a slightly proud expression and said, “Of course not! My father is nothing like those men!”

Lu Xun nodded.

Ji Li looked at these withered plants, her expression gradually became somewhat melancholic and said, “Unfortunately… they still withered.”

On hearing this, Lu Xun turned to look at her.

After some thought, he said to Ji Li, “Close your eyes.”

“Huh?” Ji Li was a bit baffled.

“Just close them.” said Lu Xun.

“Ok.” Ji Li obediently closed her beautiful eyes.

Lu Xun took out a sword sheath and a green pearl from his storage ring, then silently began to stimulate the green energy within the pearl.

After a while, he said, “You can open your eyes now!”

When Ji Li opened her eyes, she realized that the courtyard was significantly different from before.

The scenery in front of her eyes overlapped with her memories.

It was as if time had returned to the past.

The scent of flowers assailed her nostrils, and the flowers were in full bloom!
