Chapter 36: I Deliver Clothes to Ah Zhi.

Princess Nankang stood on the treetop, silently gazing ahead.

The signal from the secret monitor in the Luo Hall was continuously feeding images through her cybernetic eye.

Cheng Jinyang's Heaven and Earth Reversal has been mostly mastered, and the next step is familiarization and rigorous practice.

Xing Yuanzhi's fighting skills themselves are solid, boosted by various mass effects buffs.

Her tactical acumen and awareness are very flexible. Even in front of Xing Junmo, a seventh-grade supernatural, she can hold her own, fight tenaciously, and impress Princess Nankang greatly.

With the guidance of these two individuals and Xing Yuanzhi's personal protection, Jinyang should be safe.

The palace has sent urgent instructions again, urging her to return for a debriefing as soon as possible.

She can't delay any longer, but she's solely focused on monitoring Cheng Jinyang's training progress, wondering if he still needs a training period before going on a mission.

If that's the case, there shouldn't be any worries in the short term. You don't have to worry. Once their subsequent training is over and they're ready for missions, come over to protect him for a while.

So Princess Nankang edited a message in her mind and sent it to Cheng Jinyang's phone.

Since your training is going smoothly, sister will leave first. Contact me again when you've completed your first mission~

Inside the Luo Hall, Cheng Jinyang didn't see this message because he was running quickly with Cheng Huaiyan among the obstacles densely distributed on the walls and ceilings, holding a practice long-handled Mo knife in his hand.

Suddenly, a moving target sprang out from the side. Without even looking, Cheng Jinyang swiftly slashed with his blade.

The blade fell, cleanly splitting the target into two halves.

Jumping over the eaves again, two targets are airborne.

Cross slash!

Cheng Jinyang's eyes are quick, and his hands are fast, cutting through both targets in one breath.

Nowadays it's the era of technology.

Carrying around a machete isn't practical, and it's mostly obsolete on the battlefield.

Only the trial grounds of major families maintain this traditional method of combat training.

After a round, all twenty-four targets have been cut down. The rapid adaptation progress is astonishing, leaving Cheng Huaiyan at a loss for words.

I used to think my younger cousin was a genius, but now it seems he's more like a demon. Although there's no killing intent in his swordsmanship, he has an inexplicable intuition, as if he has at least two or three years of rich combat experience.

"You've mastered the Heaven and Earth Reversal algorithm quite well," Cheng Huaiyan stopped Cheng Jinyang from starting another round of practice and said, "Next, we'll begin practical combat training. Of course, still within the virtual environment of brain domain development."

Let's try assessing the proficiency of this younger cousin in life-and-death combat. If everything checks out, we can shorten the training period to one month. After all, in the battlefield, one must ultimately demonstrate true prowess.

Meanwhile, Xing Junmo has already finished sparring with Xing Yuanzhi, confirming that this younger sister's combat skills far exceed those of most Tianluo newcomers.

This is normal. After all, for family geniuses, the only constraint on combat strength is often age, and everything else tends to surpass peers... Otherwise, how can they be called geniuses?

"Let's stop practicing here for now," Xing Junmo silently felt it necessary to quit while ahead.

Otherwise, the more energy he expended, the easier it would be to reveal weaknesses.

If Yuanzhi seized the opportunity to counterattack again, it would be embarrassing.

Being defeated by someone two grades lower is already too much, how could there be a second time?!

"Mm." Xing Yuanzhi nodded calmly, feeling exhausted to the point of being unable to bear it anymore.

Practicing Xing Family Fist required wearing extremely thick armor, completely sealing the body from any airflow.

Although using the mass effect reduced the weight of the armor, the stuffiness is inevitable. After such a long time, she has also sweated a lot.

No, I must take a shower right away!

"Shower?" Xing Junmo was slightly surprised and then directed her, saying, "Go that way, through the side door and corridor, then turn right. At the end is the public bathhouse."

The public bath naturally doesn't have a bathtub, but given the urgency of the situation, Xing Yuanzhi left in a hurry.

Following the instructions, she arrived at the bathhouse, where there was nobody inside.

After all, the Tianluo assassins were mostly on duty outside, and very few would come to the Luo Hall.

Most of them were concentrated at night, so during the day, there were basically no people around.

Xing Yuanzhi randomly found an empty cubicle, locked the door, and removed her clothes, only to realize she didn't have clean clothes to change into.

So, she took out her phone and dialed Wang Wanrou's number.

In the room at Tingyu Pavilion, Wang Wanrou retrieved her phone from under the pillow and answered the call.

After Xing Yuanzhi finished speaking and hung up, she tossed her phone onto the bed and chuckled coldly.

What a joke, would I, Miss Wang, run errands for you?

So she went to get her clothes and towels, then went out and called a maid, saying:

"Take these clothes to Luo Hall."

"Mistress, the Luo Hall is not open to us servants," the maid hurriedly explained.

"It's okay, when you get to the Luo Hall, dial this number, and then hand the clothes over to him," Wang Wanrou recited Cheng Jìnyang's phone number, casually saying.

The maid took the clothes, packed them in a dustproof bag, and hurriedly rushed to the entrance of the Lou Hall, dialing the phone number.

Cheng Jinyang was just about to head to the Brain Domain Development. After receiving a phone call, he said a few words to Cheng Huaiyan and then headed out.

"Miss Wang asked you to bring the clothes over?" he asked inexplicably at the door.

"Yes," the maid nodded slightly.

What does it mean to suddenly receive a set of women's clothing? Is it meant to mock me?

Cheng Jinyang picked up the dust bag and took out the women's clothing, looking at it for a moment.

Suddenly, he remembered the story of the Five Zhang Plain from his middle school history class, about Zhuge Liang leading the Shu army to fight against Sima Yi's Wei army during the Wei Dynasty.

At that time, Zhuge Liang's health was already very poor, and Sima Yi intentionally engaged him in a delaying battle, only fortifying his own camps.

Zhuge Liang couldn't break through, so he sent a set of women's clothing to Sima Yi, mocking him as being like a woman.

Sima Yi simply smiled faintly, "I accept it gladly," and then asked his deputy, "Who is more beautiful, me or Zhuge Liang?"

The historical records mention this incident, saying that Sima Yi 'used the elite troops from Qin and Yong, but did not respond and tired out his teacher.'

However, Cheng Jinyang always felt that this guy dressing as a woman didn't mean anything else, maybe he just wanted to try something...

Huh?

He suddenly realized that this clothing seemed to belong to Ah Zhi, and then he saw there was also a towel in the bag.

Ah, I see. I guess Ah Zhi called Miss Wang, but she didn't want to come, so she sent a maid over.

Returning the dustproof bag to the maid, he took the clothes and towels and went to the adjacent martial arts arena, asked cousin Xing Junmo where my Ah Zhi was.

"Your fiancée said she was going to take a bath and went to the public bathhouse," Xing Junmo said as he looked at the women's clothing in his hands, immediately understanding.

"You're here to bring her clothes, right? Pass through that door, walk straight to the end of the corridor, then turn right."

"Are there no maids in this hall?" Cheng Jinyang looked a bit embarrassed. After all, it's the women's bathhouse. Is it not appropriate for me to go in?

"Don't mention about the maids. At this hour, there's no one in the bathroom. Just go in and give it to her directly," Xing Junmo said indifferently.

It's impossible to just walk in. At most, I'll just call out from outside and tell Yuanzhi where I've placed it... Cheng Jinyang thought to himself.

Well, stumbling upon the heroine in the bath by accident, accidentally falling and pinning her down, and then being chased and hunted down like in some melodramatic plot, that's definitely not something that would ever happen to me!
