……

In the villa area, Zhang Baiqing, who had just arrived, started his exercise as usual.

'Keep exercising, physical fitness point +1, swiftness experience value +1'.

After the system prompted him, he ended his exercise with satisfaction and went home.

As soon as I opened the door of the villa, a man walked out.

Lu Tianming, the head of the family, was about to go out to the company. He saw Zhang Baiqing finish his morning exercise and nodded in appreciation.

"Bai Qing, you slept so late last night, why did you get up so early to exercise today?" he asked with a concerned tone.

Zhang Baiqing responded with a smile: "I'm used to it, Uncle Lu. It's like this every day. It has become a part of my life."

Lu Tianming nodded, admiring his self-discipline. "I'm going to work at the company first. Breakfast is ready. If you don't like it, talk to Aunt Tong."

"Yeah, goodbye uncle."

Lu Tianming then got into the car and the driver drove away slowly.

……

Breakfast is hot porridge and fragrant buns. For Zhang Baiqing, there is nothing unpalatable about this breakfast.

He was enjoying his breakfast when Chu Zihang came down the stairs and joined them.

"Zihang, why are you up so early? You don't have to go to class today."

"I'm going to the Children's Palace to practice swordplay."

Chu Zihang had a blank expression on his face, and seemed to be keeping strangers away, but people who were familiar with him knew that he was just a person with expressionless face.

"So how's your practice going?"

Zhang Baiqing knew that Chu Zihang practiced swordsmanship, but he had never experienced his sword skills.

"My master said I am ready to graduate."

"Then you're still going?"

"We have to find someone to fight against."

"How am I doing?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang looked at the carefree Zhang Baiqing. He also knew that Zhang Baiqing exercised and had a good figure. He also practiced martial arts such as Tai Chi and Baji.

People who have practiced are somewhat stronger than ordinary people.

After thinking about it, he agreed. It didn't matter who he fought with, whether he went to the Children's Palace or not. So the two of them faced off in the living room, holding bamboo swords.

Chu Zihang took the lead, stepped forward, and drew his sword. His movements were clean and smooth, and coupled with his cold and handsome face, he looked like a ruthless swordsman who had mastered the art of swordsmanship and walked out of a painting.

Zhang Baiqing has never practiced swordsmanship. In his opinion, the metals on Earth definitely do not meet his needs, so it would be better for him to practice boxing and martial arts.

He simply raised his knife to block, but the opponent's knife didn't have much power, so it seemed that he was holding back.

Chu Zihang was a little surprised. Although he held back, it didn't mean that ordinary people could block his knife. He only needed to be fast and responsive to block it, but behind this simple action was an instinct that was acquired through repeated practice.

After failing to hit the target, he continued to swing his sword, sweeping, chopping, flicking, slicing, raking, holding, chopping and thrusting. His sword skills were sharp, clean and neat, and each move was so simple that he was aiming for a fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years.

However, although Zhang Baiqing had never practiced swordsmanship, he was able to skillfully resolve Chu Zihang's attacks every time with his martial arts skills and reaction speed.

The contest of martial arts is not only a competition of moves, but also a confrontation of reaction speed and instinct. Zhang Baiqing responded to Chu Zihang's attack with extremely fast reaction and clever moves, while Chu Zihang's swordsmanship became more and more fierce.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound broke the tense atmosphere. The bamboo sword broke with a sound, and Chu Zihang held the broken blade in his hand, looking at Zhang Baiqing solemnly. Although his swordsmanship was sharp, he was unable to break through Zhang Baiqing's defense.

Seeing that his knife was broken, Zhang Baiqing put it away and said with a smile: "Zihang, your knife skills are very sharp. I wonder if your master has taught you any internal training techniques?"

"Internal training method?"

Chu Zihang was a little confused, but after seeing Zhang Baiqing's strength, he did not dare to underestimate him. He thought it was another world that ordinary people could not reach.

Zhang Baiqing said sternly: "You have to practice swordsmanship and criminal law, otherwise you will be sentenced to 10 years in prison if you strike with a knife."

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment after hearing this. He thought it was a martial arts technique from a martial arts novel, but he didn't expect it to be this.

Zhang Baiqing asked: "How many years have you practiced this sword technique? It's amazing."

"Three years."

Chu Zihang started practicing swordsmanship after the Odin incident, and has been practicing for three years. "Genius, did you really practice at the Children's Palace?"

Zhang Baiqing was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought Chu Zihang had been practicing since he was a child. In his opinion, Chu Zihang's swordsmanship was not a problem for him to chop down 10 people if he went out. But it turned out that he had practiced it in the Children's Palace for three years. Why did this feel a bit like the dog brother in "Xia Ke Xing" who practiced peerless magic skills by writing mysterious words that no one else could understand?
"Ah."

Chu Zihang was rather taciturn. Although he was curious about why Zhang Baiqing was so strong, he did not ask any questions.

"Hey? You two got into a fight so quickly? Why is the bamboo sword broken? Are you not hurt?"

Su Xiaoyan saw the broken bamboo sword when she came down the stairs and quickly ran to the two men to see if they were injured.

"Mom, Bai Qing and I are fine. It's just that the quality of this bamboo sword is too poor."

When the taciturn Chu Zihang saw Su Xiaoyan, he finally said a few more words.

"Yes, Aunt Su, the quality of this bamboo sword is too poor. Look, it breaks when you bend it."

Zhang Baiqing casually broke the bamboo sword in his hand.

"Then I'm glad you're all right."

Su Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

But Chu Zihang felt a little strange. Although the bamboo sword was not that hard, wasn’t it too easy for him to do it?
……

In the evening, Lu Tianming returned home and the family of four had dinner.

At the dining table, Lu Tianming, Su Xiaoyan, Chu Zihang, and Zhang Baiqing, the family of four couldn't even find two people with the same surname, which really looked a bit scattered.

But it does come in bulk.

Su Xiaoyan married Lu Tianming for the second time with Chu Zihang. Zhang Baiqing came because the director of the orphanage passed away some time ago and the orphanage was about to be disbanded. The director had a close relationship with Lu Tianming, and Lu Tianming had been funding the orphanage all along.

As the most handsome kid in the orphanage, Zhang Baiqing had always been loved and valued by the director. Before his death, he was worried about the director and entrusted Zhang Baiqing to Lu Tianming, who simply adopted Zhang Baiqing. After dealing with the funeral affairs of the director and the orphanage, he officially moved in last night. The Lu family also prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome him.

"Are you used to being here, Bai Qing?"

Lu Tianming asked.

"I'm used to it." Zhang Baiqing said, "Aunt Su is kind and nice, Aunt Tong is also very nice, and Zihang and I are already very familiar with each other."

"Ah That's good."

At this time, Su Xiaoyan suddenly asked: "By the way, Bai Qing, is Zihang close to any girl in school?"

Chu Zihang felt helpless. In fact, his mother was like that. Other mothers were worried that their children would fall in love too early, but Su Xiaoyan was not worried at all. She was even keen for him to find a girlfriend.

After all, it is not a loss for one's own pig to eat other people's cabbages. Besides, in Su Xiaoyan's opinion, it is not certain whose pig is the one.

"Not now, but I remember there was one last semester."

Zhang Baiqing decisively sold out Chu Zihang. Su Xiaoyan and Lu Tianming were not traditional parents. They cared more about whether their children were happy.

And the person who sold it was Chu Zihang, so Zhang Baiqing had no psychological pressure at all. Aren’t good brothers meant to be sold?
Lu Tianming pricked up his ears when he heard that, while Chu Zihang frowned. He didn't know who Zhang Baiqing was talking about.
Su Xiaoyan: "Ah? Why is it gone now?"

"The girl was admitted to high school, but she did not continue to attend Shilan Middle School. Instead, she went to study in the preparatory class of Peking University."

"She's in the Peking University preparatory class, so she's very good! What's she like?"

Su Xiaoyan calculated that her son would have no problem getting into Peking University, and after the college entrance exam next year, it would be a great idea for him to go to Beijing to continue their relationship.

Zhang Baiqing: "She is pretty, the captain of the school dance team and cheerleading team, and has a lively and cheerful personality."

Chu Zihang suspected that Zhang Baiqing was fabricating facts, but he vaguely recalled that he was indeed very close to a girl, but the figure was too blurry and unreal to him.

'Is my memory that bad?'

Chu Zihang fell into doubt.

"anything else?"

Su Xiaoyan's face was full of gossip. She looked at her son from time to time, and she felt that the food on the table no longer smelled good.

"I'm stuffed."

Chu Zihang stood up, feeling that it was not appropriate for his brother to stay for long.

Su Xiaoyan immediately smiled as she watched Chu Zihang get up and go upstairs to his room. She moved the stool to Zhang Baiqing's side and asked him more carefully.

Back in the room, Chu Zihang fell into memories. The figure of a girl flashed through his fragmented memories, but it was just a shadow.

It seems like there is such a person, but it also seems like he is in a dream. If Zhang Baiqing is not connected to his dream, then who is that person?
His doubts about this matter were not how important it was, but why he had forgotten it. It was like a person being caught in a whirlpool. Why he was caught in a whirlpool is another matter, but he had to get out of the whirlpool first and not sink into it.
