Lei Wu opened the door and came out. He was itching to spar with her. "Third Miss, I would also like to have a friendly match with you. Please do not hesitate to teach me."

"Lei Wu, are you even a man? Bullying a little girl! My senior sister just had a fight with me, she doesn't have the energy to deal with you. If you want to fight, let's arrange another day. My senior sister has training this afternoon!"

"You're right. If I win, it would indeed be an unfair victory. Miss, when are you free?"

"How about tonight? I'll play as soon as I get back from training."

"Okay, it's not settled yet."

Ru Yu and the others went inside to have lunch and rest. Lei Wu quickly told his good brothers the news and asked them to come and watch the game.

When the women in the village returned home, they all complained bitterly. This training was more tiring than chopping wood and carrying water, and they didn't know what they would be training for at night.

Feng noticed that Ruyu was in a particularly good mood today, with a smile on her face. After dinner, Ruyu went back to her room.

"Like the moon and stars, doesn't your third sister look very happy today?"

"Yes, Mother, Third Sister hasn't laughed in a long time. Ever since she came back from training, she's been laughing all by herself. I wonder what good thing she's doing. She doesn't even tell us."

"Alright, stop asking questions. Go do whatever you need to do after you finish eating."

Only Madam Feng and Liu Dawang remained at the dinner table. "Honey, do you think Ruyu has finally come to her senses and wants to find a husband?"

"I don't know. These girls are very independent and don't tell us anything. You can try to find out if she has someone she likes, so we can keep an eye on things."

After lunch, Madam Feng went to find Liu Siyue. "Mother, why did you come here in the middle of the day? If you need something, send someone over to let me know, and I'll come over."

"Your mother isn't seventy or eighty years old and can't walk anymore. She's just a country woman, not that delicate."

"Sit down, Mother has something to ask you."

"What is it? Go ahead and ask."

"Ruyu came back acting strange today. She was just standing there grinning like an idiot. I bet she's got someone on her mind. Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, did you ask her?"

"I didn't ask. Even if I did, she wouldn't tell me. I'm just afraid she'll meet the wrong person and suffer in the future."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll go check on her when I have time."

"Good, you and she are close. With you here, I feel at ease."

After waking up from her nap, Ru Yu went to Liu Siyue's house and said, "Cousin."

"Ruyu's here. How's your practice with them going? You seem to be in a good mood today!"

"I'm doing really well practicing with them, and I'm in a really good mood."

"Oh, it seems something good has happened!" Liu Siyue noticed that she was indeed in a good mood, with a smile on her face and her expression was much more relaxed.

Tell me, what good news is there? Tell me so I can be happy too.

"Today, Anfeng said my kung fu was good and even made me the leader of the women's team. In the evening, Lei Wu also invited me to spar."

"That's all? Nothing else?"

"By the way, Anfeng said I'm good at kung fu and wants to become Qingwu's apprentice. She asked me to ask her. She still calls me senior sister."

"You agreed?"

"How could I dare to agree on behalf of my master? My master dislikes me so much, but I can't refuse. I promised to ask my master for her."

"Is the chef home today?"

"Yes, go find her."

"Ruyu, I have a question for you, and you can't lie to me."

"Cousin, tell me, I absolutely won't lie to you."

"Do you have someone you like?"

"Cousin, why are you suddenly asking this? Did you hear some nonsense from someone? I definitely don't have anyone I like. I just want to focus on practicing martial arts."

"No, no, don't get so worked up."

"Cousin, please don't listen to people's nonsense. I have no intention of getting married."

"understood."

Ru Yu arrived at Qing Wu's door and gently knocked. "Master, are you inside?"

"Okay, come in."

Ru Yu was a little afraid of Qing Wu. She pushed open the door and walked in quietly. Qing Wu was still lying on the bed. She only sat up when she saw her come in.

"Why have you become so timid? Do you think I'd eat you up? You haven't come to see me since you got back. Have you mastered the technique?"

"Master, are you still angry with me? Are you still disgusted with me?"

"What else can you do? Slack off every day!"

"Master, I sparred with Anfeng today. She praised your kung fu, said you taught well, and even praised my kung fu skills. Lei Wu also wants to spar with me tonight."

"Who won, you or Dark Wind?"

"Neither won nor lost, it was a draw."

"Dark Wind also said that I'm not working hard enough, and that I can't think of moves while fighting."

"Dark Wind is right, you just don't try hard enough."

"Master, can you forgive me? I only found out today that my kung fu is quite good. The reason you didn't think much of me is because you are too good."

"Stop flattering me. If you get distracted when you're sparring with someone, you could lose your life. Go back and practice hard. Find someone to spar with in the future."

I'll be checking, and if things are still the same, I might really expel you from the sect.

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Master, I've gotten you into trouble.

"Hey? What are you doing?"

"Anfeng wants to become your disciple and asked me to ask her. I didn't want to agree, but she keeps calling me senior sister, so I had no choice but to ask you, Master."

"Would you prefer to be a senior female student?"

"No, no, no, Master, you've misunderstood. She was the one who wanted to shout that."

Tell her I'm too busy to teach!

"Understood, Master."

In the evening, training began, and the women practiced the same move again: a few simple movements. "Your strikes must be clean and swift, fast and powerful, and your strength must be concentrated. Don't act like you haven't eaten."

The women started practicing in pairs. "If any of you don't work hard, you'll only get beaten up by the other. I'm telling you, don't hold back on the training field, and don't hold grudges."

Anyone with ill intentions will face the consequences if I find out.

Three people moved through the crowd, correcting their movements, "Push harder, have you not eaten?"

"You! Your movements are wrong, look carefully!"

The women were all drenched in sweat from practicing, their hair plastered to their faces.

Finally, the training ended, and Anfeng gave them another task: "Listen up, when you get back tonight, each of you carry half a bucket of water and practice for half an hour. We'll check on you tomorrow morning."

Anyone have any further questions? If not, then everyone can leave.

"Sisters, we have to practice hard. We can't be lazy, we can't embarrass women, and we can't lose to men. If men can do it, so can we."

"Yes, we can't lose face, we can do it too."

Several women went home and started sparring with their husbands. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength, they won in terms of tactics. "Honey, it won't be long before you can't beat me anymore. Don't hit me all the time. Our master is very powerful."

"Hmph! What are you so smug about? We'll see."

"It's so late, what are you doing instead of sleeping?"

"Who are you to talk to me? I still need to practice my skills!"

"What kind of kung fu are you practicing in the middle of the night?"

"The bucket-water kung fu was a requirement of my master."

"Looks like you guys had a pretty easy training day today, you'll still have energy to cause trouble tonight."

"We're not exactly relaxed at all; we're very busy, you wouldn't understand."

So, the women in the village who participated in the training all went back to carrying water buckets, and their families laughed at them for being silly, having no use for their strength.

On their way back, Ruyu and Anfeng told Anfeng the result: "Anfeng, Master said she won't teach anymore, she doesn't have time."

"Why is he not free? Does your master have nothing to do at home all day? Can't he even spare an hour a day?"

"I know that. Go ask him yourself. I wouldn't dare."

"Is Qingwu fierce? Is she difficult to get along with?"

"My master is a very nice person, but I'm a little intimidated by her."

"I understand, thank you. I will try my best to become your junior sister. The strong have an aura that can hold them back, just like Qingwu."
