Yi Yun and Jiang Xiaorou were surrounded by the entire village as they walked towards their own homes.
To the Lian tribal clan, Yi Yun passing the test was big news.
A poor kid had been chosen by the High Ambassador to give him pointers in martial arts. He could even participate in the Kingdom's selection in the future!
It was not enough to describe it as smoke rising from the ancestral graves.
"Say, I've watched Kiddo Yun grow up. I don't find anything special about him. Is he really a martial arts prodigy? Is it true that he can participate in the Kingdom's selection? "
"Since the High Ambassador said it, there must be some basis to it. But let's forget about the Kingdom's selection. There's only so much time left. Even if Yi Yun is a martial arts prodigy, there's no hope."
To the villagers of the Lian tribal clan, practicing martial arts was not something that could be done in a day. The Kingdom's selection was a place to select the elites. For Yi Yun to be chosen by Zhang Yuxian was already a stroke of luck.
As for passing the Kingdom's selection, that was just daydreaming.
To give a child who had never read the classics, no matter how smart the child was, it was impossible to become a scholar in two months.
Participating in the Kingdom's selection was the same logic. This was the consensus of the people of the Lian tribal clan. No one doubted it.
It was not easy for Jiang Xiaorou to bring Yi Yun home.
After closing the door, many people curiously leaned on the wall to look at Jiang Xiaorou's house. The village's mud walls were short, so a child could easily reach the top of the wall.
As a result, Jiang Xiaorou's house had a row of people leaning on the wall. The mud wall was on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Xiaorou did not care about this. Actually, Jiang Xiaorou had mixed feelings. She was proud of her brother, but she was also confused and fearful of the future.
Jiang Xiaorou understood that Yi Yun was only talented, but not strong.
Maybe some of the villagers had confused the two, thinking that Yi Yun's luck had turned for the better. But Jiang Xiaorou knew that in the vast wilderness, strength was everything. With talent, it was only meaningful if one's strength grew. If not, it was useless!
"Yun-er, Lord Zhang said you have a Seamless Body. Do you know what a Seamless Body is?"
Jiang Xiaorou pulled Yi Yun's hand and sat on the bed.
Yi Yun shook his head, "Sis Xiaorou, could it be that you know?"
"Hmm … I've heard a little about it. The Leakless Body means that there are no energy 'leaks' in the body. This kind of body is most suitable for practicing martial arts."
"There are levels to the Seamless Body. The lower levels of the Seamless Body of Mortal Blood can be seamless at the Mortal Blood level, but not at the Purple Blood level. The Purple Blood Leakless Body can be leakless at the Mortal Blood and Purple Blood realm, but at higher realms, it won't work … I still do not know what kind of situation brother is in. "
Hearing Jiang Xiaorou's words, Yi Yun was stunned, "Sis Xiaorou, how do you know so much?"
Jiang Xiaorou rubbed Yi Yun's head and said, "When I was young, my family had tested my talent, so I've heard of it."
"The process of testing a Seamless Body is very troublesome. That Lord Zhang probably did not have a disk array, and his cultivation level was limited, so he could only test you roughly …"
"A Seamless Body is highly valued in the family. But if it's just a Mortal Blood Seamless Body, then the importance is very limited. But a high level Seamless Body is very rare. I vaguely remember that during the talent test, there was a cousin named Jiang Mingzhe in the family. He seemed to be a Sage Seamless Body. The entire family was alarmed and they celebrated for many days. Many important people came to the family to congratulate them, but I can't remember the details …"
When Jiang Xiaorou said this, Yi Yun was completely stunned.
Sage Seamless Body?
Although he didn't know what level it was, it sounded like it was very powerful.
And … What kind of family did Jiang Xiaorou's family have to have such a body?
Yi Yun originally knew that Jiang Xiaorou came from a wealthy family. She had learned how to write at a young age and had read many books, so she knew about cultivation. This was not something a child from a small family would have.
Since Jiang Xiaorou was born in such a family, why did she end up in the vast wilderness and be adopted by his family?
Yi Yun could not help but ask, "Sis Xiaorou, what was your family like in the past?"
Jiang Xiaorou gently frowned and thought for a while. Finally, she shook her head and said, "I don't remember. I only remember it was a very big family, and then … I only remember when I was a few years old, the books I read and the words I wrote. I remember the yard I lived in when I was young. But after that, I have forgotten. I can't remember it no matter how hard I try. "
Jiang Xiaorou's words aroused Yi Yun's curiosity. Did Jiang Xiaorou's family experience some changes?
Could such a glorious family have been destroyed, causing the family to disperse?
Dynasties changed and families rose and fell. In this world, nothing could survive for long.
"Yun-er, this is the clothes that I made for you. See if it fits you."
As Jiang Xiaorou said this, she took out a newly sewn set of clothes from an old bag in the house.
The green cloth looked rough. This was the linen that the people of the Cloud Wilderness often wore. It was strong and resistant to wear.
Yi Yun was stunned for a moment. His family was so poor that they did not need locks. This was not an exaggeration, it was true. A poor family like Yi Yun did not have locks. This was because in the Cloud Wilderness, locks made of metal were quite expensive. And a poor family's entire fortune was not as valuable as a lock.
Despite being so poor, Jiang Xiaorou managed to get a piece of cloth to make new clothes for him?
Yi Yun received the clothes with mixed feelings. Although the cloth was rough, it was neatly cut. The edges of the cloth were covered with fine stitches. These were all sewn by Jiang Xiaorou.
To be honest, the clothes did not feel good. It could even be said to be very bad. Compared to the cotton and silk clothes Yi Yun had seen on Earth, it was like night and day.
However, it was this piece of clothing that gave Yi Yun a special feeling.
"Quickly wear it. I wanted to let you wear it for the new year, but Yun-er, you are going to the school grounds to practice martial arts today. This is a big event, so you have to wear it well. Don't let your neighbors laugh at you."
Jiang Xiaorou said these trivial words, but Yi Yun's nose turned sour. He took a deep breath and took off his tattered clothes and changed into a new set of clothes.
Clothes make the man, so Jiang Xiaorou's new clothes were close-fitting. Although it was made of coarse cloth, it matched Yi Yun's slowly growing body, as well as the hidden aura he had after breaking through to the Meridians realm. It made people's eyes light up.
Jiang Xiaorou pulled Yi Yun over and looked at him left and right. He was very satisfied.
But she thought of something and said, "Yun-er, although you have gained Lord Zhang's appreciation, Lord Zhang will be leaving after three days. He is not related to us, so it's rare for him to take care of you. In the future, we will have to rely on ourselves."
"Lord Zhang said you have talent in martial arts, but talent can't be used to protect yourself. Instead, it can attract disaster before you mature. An elephant has its tusks, so it will be hunted. A rhinoceros has its horns, so it will be slaughtered. If you practice martial arts with Lord Zhang, don't be too ostentatious. Keep a low profile and be careful.
"Especially Lian Chengyu. He is narrow-minded. If you steal his limelight, he will not tolerate you!"
"When Lord Zhang is around, Lian Chengyu will not dare to do anything. But what if Lord Zhang leaves? Lord Zhang would not know Lian Chengyu's character, nor would he know of the messy internal affairs of the Lian tribal clan, or Lian Chengyu's hostility towards you. Lord Zhang most likely has important matters to attend to. As for the Kingdom's selection's preliminaries, it's just a matter of convenience. He might not put too much thought into it, nor would he meddle in the internal affairs of the Lian tribal clan. It will be difficult for you to seek his protection. Do you understand? "
Jiang Xiaorou said so much in one breath. Yi Yun was secretly impressed.
Jiang Xiaorou was really meticulous. Her way of dealing with people far exceeded girls her age.
If it was any other little girl, she would have fainted from the fact that her younger brother had been recognized by the High Ambassador. She would not have stayed at home to tell him so much. She would have gone to the neighbors to praise her younger brother's capabilities.
"Sis Xiaorou, I know what you said." Yi Yun held Jiang Xiaorou's hand, "Don't worry. If I didn't have the confidence to deal with Lian Chengyu, I wouldn't have dared to stand out today."
Before Yi Yun registered, he had carefully weighed the pros and cons.
Without a doubt, Yi Yun had to pass the preliminaries hosted by Zhang Yuxian. Ignoring the fact that it was a necessary ticket to the Kingdom's selection, just the martial arts taught by Zhang Yuxian had piqued Yi Yun's interest.
Previously, Yi Yun had learned martial arts from Yao Yuan in secret, so the effects were greatly reduced. So when Zhang Yuxian chose, Yi Yun had to stand out.
However, Yi Yun could show his talent, but he could not reveal his true cultivation level in front of Zhang Yuxian.
Zhang Yuxian did not know Yi Yun's background, but how could Lian Chengyu not know? Yi Yun was just a weak brat a few days ago. It had only been a few days, and in the eyes of others, without taking any medicine or being taught any martial arts, he had somehow reached the Meridians realm. Wasn't this too ridiculous!?
If Zhang Yuxian were to tell this to Zhang Yuxian, Zhang Yuxian would definitely be suspicious. Even the elites of large family clans would not have such a fast cultivation speed even if they ate treasures every day.
When that happened, Zhang Yuxian would think he had a secret!
