Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

"Apologize to your room, you idiot!"

Zixiao quietly leaned down and whispered in Yuche's ear, "Can you share some of those little things your brother used to collect with me later?"

You're dreaming.

Yu Zhe looked at the two of them with suspicion, as if they were about to clash again, and quickly spoke up before they could.

"You two sit here and wait a while. I'm going to talk to Lu Ling and Lu Yao about something, and I'll be right back."

After settling Yu Che and Zi Xiao in, Yu Zhe got up and walked to the left side of the arena, to the area covered with a blue carpet.

I just saw Lu Ling and Lu Yao, dressed in maid outfits, discussing something seriously. They didn't even notice when Yu Zhe and the others came in. Usually, the two of them have an excellent sense of awareness, which shows how serious they are right now.

"Lu Ling, Lu Yao, excuse me for disturbing you for a moment."

Yu Zhe's words startled the two sisters, and Lu Ling turned around first: "Ah... Young... Young Master!"

Lu Yao bowed her head and greeted him directly, "Young Master...hello..."

"Um, sorry to interrupt your tactical discussion. Do you have a few minutes to say a few words?"

"Young Master, you can say whatever you want. My sister and I don't have anything to discuss."

Lu Ling glanced at Lu Yao with a hint of helplessness: "My older sister speaks slowly. If I ask her something, it takes her several minutes to finish explaining, and I might not even understand it. So discussing tactics is not very meaningful; it's better to improvise on the spot."

There's a scene: Lu Yao speaking haltingly, making Lu Ling extremely anxious.

However, it's better not to discuss it. Yu Zhe knows that the twin sisters' strength lies in their tacit understanding, an advantage that discussion cannot achieve.

Seeing that they weren't too nervous, Yu Zhe felt relieved and got to the point: "Do you know anything about Sister Lin Yin?"

"Deceptive Blade...Target..."

Lu Yao answered quickly this time, and her usually expressionless face seemed to show some fluctuations, such as fear and worry, but more than that, it showed fighting spirit!

Lu Ling chimed in, "In response to your question, young master, we wouldn't say we know too much about them, but we do know that 'Deceptive Blade' was your parents' bodyguard and one of our seniors. Their combat experience and abilities are far superior to ours."

"Do we have a chance of winning?" Yu Zhe asked directly.

Lu Ling hesitated for a moment before choosing to tell the truth: "According to my analysis... well, it's not that we lack confidence, but we both believe that my sister and I have no chance of winning. The gap is practically hopeless."

"Okay, listen to me." Yu Zhe revealed the purpose of his visit. "Try to use some fancy tactics, just try to let Sister Lin Yin see your strengths. Don't lose too quickly. Even if you lose, it's okay. I will let you pass later."

"Ugh...no..."

"Ok?"

Lu Yao retorted almost instantly, shaking her head and pouting, seemingly very unhappy with Yu Zhe's statement.

Lu Ling first pressed down on her older sister's shoulders with both hands to stop her from shaking her head.

Then he reported to Yu Zhe: "Young Master, there's no need for this, I just..."

"Saying we had no chance of winning was only theoretical; in a real battle, many variables can occur, especially when it's two against one—the variables become even greater."

"variable?"

Yu Zhe thought about her words for a moment and immediately understood: "You mean that the two of you, one plus one, theoretically cannot be greater than three, but in actual operation, there is a chance that it is greater than three, is that what you mean?"

"Huh? Well...maybe, young master, what you're saying is a bit too profound..."

Lu Ling decided to encourage her sister to read more books from now on, otherwise she might not understand what the young master was saying sometimes.

Well... actually, the two of them have already completed university courses through self-study, but people always have to keep improving!

“Alright, I understand the situation.” Yu Zhe nodded, then glanced at the two sisters. “Listen, you can do whatever you want, give it your all, and defeat your senior. But there’s one thing you have to listen to: you can’t get hurt, understand?”

Yu Zhe can't stand seeing girls get hurt. These two sisters usually do their best to protect themselves, so Yu Zhe would probably be very distressed if they got injured.

"Understood!" Lu Yao stood up straight and assured Yu Zhe.

"Young Master...don't worry...we...will win..."

Lu Yao's guarantee has already directly led to winning the game?

"Alright, that's enough. Let's warm up and get ready for the game."

After Yu Zhe finished speaking, he turned around and sat down next to Zi Xiao Yu Che.

"Brother, what did you say to them?" Zixiao asked, a little curious.

"It's nothing," Yu Zhe said with a smile. "I just wanted to see their current mindset. It seems like there shouldn't be any major problems. Let's just witness it. Those two have really worked hard."

.................. ..

About five minutes after Yu Zhe sat down, around eight o'clock, Yu Che waved to a maid opposite him.

The maid understood immediately and pressed a button, which lowered the height of the entire arena, allowing Yu Zhe and the others watching to have a clearer view.

Then the maid took out a megaphone, tested it, and then, as the referee, announced the start of the competition using the voice coming from the megaphone.

"Red team, Blue team, please come to the stage and take your positions!"

Yu Zhe smiled and reached out to pat Yu Che's head. This little girl was quite formal, which showed that she really valued Lu Ling and Lu Yao's "exam".

Lu Ling and Lu Yao from the blue team stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the area opposite them.

A moment later, Lin Yin from the red team walked onto the arena with the same ease as when she entered the villa.

She was somewhat surprised to see the two sisters' outfits, then smiled and waved to remind them.

"How about you go change your clothes first? These clothes are not suitable for a fight; they will only affect your performance."

Lu Ling was a little nervous when she heard the senior speak, and before she could reply, her older sister Lu Yao spoke up.

"Work clothes... I don't need to change..."

Is this what I wear to work? Is there no need to change?

But what she didn't say was that, besides that, the clothes had many pockets, making it easy to hide some concealed weapons...

Whether the hidden weapon was effective against Lin Yin was something only she herself knew.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that Lin Yin's fighting spirit has intensified since that conversation just now.

I told you to change into more convenient clothes... but you won't change them?

Oh dear, this is really something to be ashamed of.

Both sides had their own thoughts, and then the maid, who was acting as the referee, spoke through the loudspeaker, her voice echoing throughout the entire training ground.

"Test begins!"

55. Is this the next step?

The problem is that this signal to start the match had no effect.

Since neither side made any move and remained in the same state, it seemed they were still observing each other.

The maid acting as referee was a little embarrassed, but perhaps... this is how it is in a contest between strong individuals? Whoever makes a mistake first can basically decide the outcome in one move.

But that's not actually the case; Lin Yin just didn't want to make the first move.

"Two juniors." Lin Yin took a step forward, adopting a more elegant stance. "You two come at me first, so I can assess your tactics."

Seeing the two still exchanging glances, Lin Yin shrugged, then a layer of coldness seemed to appear in her eyes: "Don't try to find flaws. Those are the kind of low-level mistakes that only your usual opponents would make. I'm not bragging, but I'm not one of those opponents you usually face."

These words might sound arrogant, but coming from Lin Yin, they didn't sound out of place at all.

The reason why Lu Ling and Lu Yao stood still was precisely because they couldn't find any flaws in the person in front of them.

Logically speaking, Lin Yin should have been full of openings as she stood there so unguarded, but the two sisters could only feel an invisible "pressure" emanating from her.

As the saying goes, rushing in rashly will definitely come at a heavy price.

But... the young master is watching from below the stage, I can't keep hesitating, or I'll disappoint him.

Lu Ling turned to look at Lu Yao, and their eyes met. They seemed to reach a tacit understanding in an instant, an efficiency that they couldn't achieve even after a whole day of discussion.

Suddenly, Lu Ling's eyes sharpened, like a blade gleaming with cold light.

Then, she finally started moving.

At first, he was just jogging forward, then his movements suddenly quickened, as if it would only take him a moment to reach Lin Yin, who was fifty meters away.

Lin Yin remained standing still in the face of the sudden attack, even pounding her shoulder.

Lu Yao

Then she took a move, took a ball-shaped object out of her pocket, and threw it with all her might towards Lin Yin in a standard throwing motion.

Lin Yin wasn't worried about what dangerous things were, because Yu Che had told her beforehand that there would be no explosives in this competition.

At most, it would be something like a steel knife that suddenly flies out, or a blade that scatters in mid-air—that's the same as nothing at all.

For Lin Yin, these kinds of hidden weapons posed no threat whatsoever.

As a projectile thrown with full force, the ball naturally flew in front of Lu Ling and arrived at Lin Yin's side first.

Lin Yin finally adopted a defensive stance, but the ball did not crack open and send out blades. Instead, after a very soft sound, thick smoke appeared from it before it hit the ground.

"A smoke grenade...?"

This was not unexpected; at most, it would only interfere with Lin Yin's judgment of the distance to Lu Ling who was rushing towards her.

As expected, a little later than anticipated, a figure appeared in the thick smoke. At first, it moved slowly, then quickly. By the time Lin Yin could clearly see Lu Ling's outline, she had already rushed out of the smoke.

Although her movements were somewhat slow just now, after Lu Ling appeared, her movements suddenly became incredibly fast, and she swung her left arm to strike Lin Yin without hesitation.

"Wow, you have good eyesight."

Even with such a fierce offensive, Lin Yin only gave this one comment.

She simply took a step back, and Lu Ling's fist missed its mark.

After dodging, Lin Yin planned to retaliate, but before the smoke had completely dissipated, another whooshing sound came from the side.

Lin Yin rhythmically jumped twice on the ground, and two small blades brushed past her, taking only a few strands of her hair.

Lu Ling regained her footing in front of her. Although her sister's sneak attack failed, she had gained enough time.

This time, we absolutely have to hit it!

She concentrated all her strength in her right hand and swung it with all her might at Lin Yin once again.

Common sense dictates that Lin Yin, while dodging projectiles, would likely be unable to react promptly to Lu Ling's direct attack.

But she used a rather strange movement technique, and with just a slight movement, she made Lu Ling hit air once again.
