Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Su Jinyan looked at the words and felt the memories in her mind, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[You are exceptionally talented, and Li Shen values ​​you highly. By the age of six, you had already mastered the Li family's martial arts techniques, "Flying Swallow Skill" and "Thirteen Forms of the Hanging Swallow."]

At the age of seven, you had already mastered the "Cloud Rider Sword Manual" to a high level; in terms of cultivation alone, no one of your peers could match you.

Your younger sister, Su Chang, adores you and wants to be by your side every day, sweetly calling you "Brother Jin Yan."

At the age of eight, you mastered the "Tai Xu Sword Qi," and your sword heart broke through the third level, the "Clear Mirror" realm, mastering all twenty-one sword forms.

When you were nine years old, your parents had an argument.

[Your beloved younger sister, Su Chang, has made little progress in her swordsmanship; so far, she has only learned one or two moves from the "Cloud Rider Sword Manual," far behind your progress.]

[Su Chang was exhausted from being urged to practice martial arts and sparring every day by Su Yi, and she would fall asleep during class, resulting in her being neither good at academics nor martial arts.]

This led to her being teased by her husband as "Li the Big Pillow."

Li Shen believes that your talent in swordsmanship and martial arts far surpasses that of Su Chang, and that you should be the focus of training, not Su Chang.

He felt that since Jin Yan was already there, Su Chang, at her age, should receive more pampering, not be tormented and made to suffer.

Su Yi believes that Li Shen focused too much energy on you and didn't supervise his daughter, which is why Su Chang's cultivation progressed slowly.

Moreover, the ancient sword Xuanyuan is a divine weapon; to comprehend its sword intent, one must wear and nurture it year-round.

However, since Su Chang was born, she has only touched Xuanyuan once, and Li Shen bears inextricable responsibility for this.

Li Shen never cared about Su Chang; he had already given you the best cultivation resources.

Now, he even wants to allocate more resources to you, which Su Yi cannot tolerate.

Memorable scenes resurface.

"Brother Jinyan, have I made Father and Mother angry?"

Xiao Sushang is only six years old this year, a lovely age.

Looking at her chubby, adorable face, her brown pigtails, and her innocent, beautiful eyes, Su Jinyan's heart melted.

I never imagined that my wife, Su Chang, was so cute when she was a child.

Su Jinyan kissed Xiao Sushang: "Sushang, be good, it's not your fault."

This wasn't Xiao Sushang's fault to begin with. It was because he took away Xiao Sushang's cultivation resources that she became neither good at literature nor martial arts, and her cultivation progress became slow.

"Father, I want to give the Xuanyuan Sword to Su Chang."

"From now on, I can use your Wuheng sword."

Li Shen said unhappily, "Hmph, be careful what you say, don't fool around with your father."

"You possess the sword embryo and martial bones, and your talent in swordsmanship far surpasses that of ordinary people."

"Both the practice of Sword Heart Technique and the refinement of mental energy lead to rapid progress."

"You are the most suitable person to tame Xuanyuan. How can you give up this hard-won divine weapon just because of Su Yi's one-sided opinion?"

Su Yi narrowed her beautiful eyes menacingly: "Hmm? Looks like my words don't work anymore?"

Li Shen, who was always afraid of his wife, quickly smiled apologetically: "No, no, no, of course my wife's words carry weight."

"Then reduce Su Chang's reading time and stop letting her play. Let her concentrate on her cultivation, okay?"

The woman in plain clothes nodded: "That's more like it."

Xiao Sushang pouted, feeling wronged, and dared not utter a sound.

She only had two incense sticks' worth of playtime each day, and now even that time is being taken away from her?

Su Jinyan stepped forward and said, "Father, Mother."

"How about I teach Su Chang instead?"

Su Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Ayan, although you have almost mastered the sword techniques and martial arts we taught you."

"But you must know that teaching and practice are completely different concepts."

"The reason you have achieved so much in swordsmanship is because you have the blessing of [Sword Embryo Martial Bone]."

“Su Chang is naturally dull-witted. If you were to teach her, I fear you would be dragged down by her.”

Xiao Sushang felt even more aggrieved: "I would never hold Brother Jinyan back!"

Su Yi glared at her, which frightened Xiao Su Chang so much that she hurriedly hid behind Su Jin Yan, her soft little hands grabbing his collar, and timidly peeking out her little head.

Su Jinyan couldn't help but chuckle and picked up Xiao Suchang, saying, "Please rest assured, Mother."

"You only need to hand over Su Chang to me, and within seven days, I will make sure she has thoroughly mastered the Cloud Rider Sword Scripture."

Su Chang was not unintelligent; she was simply too playful as a child, and her father, Li Shen, doted on her and couldn't bear to see her suffer.

Therefore, whenever Li Shen taught Su Chang, he would deliberately set aside some time for her to play freely, which resulted in Su Chang's extremely slow progress in martial arts.

This is a little secret between them, father and daughter, which they've kept from you and Suyi.

[You excel at tailoring your teaching to individual students, and your methods are completely different from those of Su Yi and Li Shen.]

[Whenever Su Chang completes a task you assign, you reward her in various ways, sometimes taking her to play hide-and-seek with her friends, sometimes playing stacking towers with her.]

Although sword practice is tedious, with your company and encouragement, Su Chang doesn't find it boring anymore.

Your exceptional temperament and striking appearance surpass those of countless men, deeply attracting young women of your age, including your adopted sister, Su Chang.

Every time you go to school, you'll find countless love letters secretly slipped into your drawer by girls.

Su Chang, posing as her younger sister, would collect all the love letters and secretly open and read them one by one.

[The love letters the girls wrote to you, Su Chang couldn't understand a single word.]

But Su Chang knew that these wicked women all wanted to take her Jin Yan brother away from her.

"Brother Jinyan, could you please stop accepting love letters from those bad women?"

Xiao Su Chang looked at you with a pout, feeling wronged. She was afraid that someone would take you away, and take away her only brother.

Su Jinyan pinched Xiao Suchang's cheek: "Suchang."

"Then brother won't accept their love letters anymore."

"How about you write love letters to your brother when you grow up?"

Little Su Chang's beautiful eyes sparkled as she innocently said:

“I can write it to Brother Jinyan right now.”

At this point, Xiao Suchang hurriedly led Su Jinyan back to the room and picked up paper and pen.

"Well......"

"Uh......"

"Brother Jinyan, how do you write the 'Jin' in Jinyan?"

Little Su Chang asked in her childish voice.

Unexpectedly, the very first word stumped Xiao Sushang.

It seems that writing love letters is a long and arduous task.

Su Jinyan couldn't help but chuckle and kissed Xiao Suchang's cheek. "My wife was so cute when she was little."

At eleven years old, you had already made a name for yourself in the martial arts world, making many friends as a chivalrous knight.

You have befriended a charming young man named "Sangbo," who calls himself the "Deep Blue Prince."

"Why is Sangbo on the Yaoqing Immortal Ship?"

"My nephew is like a persistent ghost..."

[There was also a fox-woman sister who came to the Yaoqing Immortal Ship on business. Her name was "Tingyun," and she was the ferryman from the Luofu Heavenly Ship Bureau.]

[Sister Tingyun has introduced you to another genius boy with the same "Sword Embryo Martial Bone"—little brother Yanqing.]

[Younger brother Yanqing, who just turned eight this year, has already become the youngest elite guard in the history of the Yunqi Army.]

[Yanqing is young, but quite arrogant. However, after you taught him a lesson, he is completely convinced of your superiority.]

Soon, you became inseparable friends.

"Wow, they're all familiar faces. I've gotten to know them all over again."

At thirteen, you joined the Cloud Cavalry as a chivalrous knight, working alongside them to vanquish the evil creatures of Falomomo. A great victory was achieved, and you were credited with the greatest contribution.

At fourteen, you and the Yaoqingyun Cavalry jointly conquered the Tester VIII monstrous creatures, achieving a great victory, and you were credited with the greatest merit.

At fifteen, you roamed the martial world, making many friends; your legend spread throughout the Azure Immortal Boat.

At sixteen, you return to Yijian Manor and are overjoyed to see Su Chang and your parents, whom you haven't seen for many years.

Li Shen was overjoyed. He had long heard of your achievements and held you in high regard. He immediately invited you to drink with him.

Seeing Su Chang's evasive eyes, you know that Su Chang is no longer the adorable little girl who used to cling to you.

Feeling somewhat dejected, you couldn't resist having a few more drinks, eventually becoming completely drunk.
