Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

In life, we will always face all sorts of unpredictable situations. Many things, after the passage of time, can be shared with old friends with a smile on a sunny afternoon in the future.

Similarly, there are some things that one should never say, even if it means death.

For example, the toilet dispute between Ying Qin Pass and Nephalem, and the "sister" of Yu Xietian.

Before discussing Yu Xietian's sister, let's review her background... She is an orphan like Fu Feihan and Ji Qiuming.

Yes, he was an orphan who was adopted by a swordsman, the Ouma swordsman who had challenged the Sword Saint. So, naturally, he didn't have a sister.

So, why would this red-haired woman say that...?

That's a long story, and it really can't be told in a short time.

The Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) often receives all sorts of bizarre and difficult requests, some of which are extremely complicated. For example, helping a rebellious, runaway nobleman return home.

That sounds normal, right?

But that noble young master is also a human being, and humans need to eat. He didn't take his wallet with him when he ran away from home, but he's a tough guy and stubbornly tried to find some work to fill his stomach. That's normal, isn't it?

Yes, everything was normal up to this point, but things went wrong from there. Because the job he found was rather unusual—not only unusual, but also quite illegitimate.

There are many jobs that can be called abnormal, but few that are not respectable... Yes, that's male escorts.

—Ouma is famous for its sex industry, but that doesn't mean only Ouma has one. Seven Stars also has one. It's just that it's not as shady, not as famous as Ouma, and relatively more legitimate.

In other words, this male escort basically doesn't sell his body; to put it more politely, he could be called a male escort.

That's right, the mission the Yorozuya received that time was to save this misguided noble young master... and the client requested that they not use force, but rather gentle persuasion, to use love to influence him and help him return to the right path.

Yu Xietian originally wanted to say "fuck you" to influence you, but the other party offered too much, so he finally made a solemn pledge.

But trouble started when they got to that male escort club.

Unlike Sakura, Seven Stars cannot openly discuss many things. This host doesn't do business directly like Sakura either. Instead, he runs a male host club that only members can enter. The identity verification is quite strict, and there are few entrances. Each entrance is guarded by two muscular men in sunglasses and black suits who can lift their shirts at any time to reveal their eight-pack abs, striving to provide the rich women with the most enjoyable experience.

Yu Xietian was stuck on this level and couldn't get through at all.

Although he could come and go freely in the Sword Saint's Mansion and the Imperial Academy, those places were vast, and he could just find a place to enter and then avoid being discovered. But the club was different. There was only one entrance, and the other side was guarding it tightly. He wasn't Ye Jiaofang, and he couldn't do anything like manipulating light or optical invisibility. He didn't feel comfortable letting Shen Xin go in alone, and a violent infiltration... wasn't quite appropriate either.

Finally, during the process of thinking, a bold idea emerged.

Yu Xietian is a man with a slender waist and long legs. He has long green hair that he can braid or tie into a ponytail. He has also practiced bone-shrinking skills and is a master at cross-dressing. Shenxin suggested that Yu Xietian dress as a woman and infiltrate the area. Yu Xietian naturally refused Shenxin sternly, saying that he was a great man and could not do such a thing.

So Shenxin took out the contract she had signed with the noble young master's family and pointed out the penalty for breach of contract.

Yu Xietian originally wanted to stand firm for a while longer, but the penalty for breach of contract was too high, so he had no choice but to wear women's clothing.

Ultimately, with the help of the Bone Shrinking Technique and some magical aids from the Divine Heart, Yu Xietian transformed into the young girl Yu and successfully infiltrated the male escort club.

After that, he successfully completed the mission without any major mishaps. The mishaps, however, came later.

Yu Xietian's disguise was done at the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop), and his clothes were also there. This meant he had to return to the Yorozuya wearing the women's clothing. However, when he rushed to the Yorozuya, he heard a heated argument coming from the izakaya (Japanese pub) on the first floor. The izakaya proprietress had always been kind to him. Besides, Yu Xietian wouldn't stand idly by in such a situation, so he went inside. There, he found a red-haired woman, half-drunk... She had been approached by someone, and after being rejected, the man became enraged and called his men, who were now vandalizing the proprietress's izakaya.

Yu Xietian intervened and stopped the fight, making a heroic entrance, and then turned around and sent the thugs to the police station.

She was indeed very cool back then. Her clothes were more androgynous. Although she used bone-shrinking techniques, she still had a relatively tall figure compared to women. Her emerald green hair was tied into a neat ponytail... She immediately captured the heart of the red-haired woman.

But Yu Xietian didn't know this at the time, nor did he realize it. So when the other person held his hand tightly and his eyes shone, he thought the other person just wanted to thank him. He immediately put on his good habit of leaving his name when doing good deeds, and said that he was a temporary employee of the Yorozuya, the boss's cousin, and his name was...

Yu Xietian didn't think too much at the time and just blurted out "Little Yu".

This later became an extremely painful memory for him.

The red-haired woman was named Chiyue. After that day, she repeatedly came to the Yorozuya to inquire about Xiaoyu. Yu Xietian couldn't very well say that it was actually him. After all, some things are better left unsaid, even if it meant death. He could only laugh it off and say, "You've come at a bad time, my cousin has gone back to her hometown."

Chi Yue naturally asked Xiao Yu where her hometown was, and Yu Xietian, of course, couldn't give an answer. He didn't know how to refuse, but fortunately, he eventually realized Chi Yue's feelings. So he tactfully said, "My cousin already has someone she likes, a great man, so you shouldn't bother her."

Upon hearing this, Akatsuki was heartbroken. That very day, she drank a pound and a half of baijiu (Chinese liquor) at the landlady's izakaya (Japanese pub) and ended up in the hospital. The two from Yorozuya felt terrible, as it was all their fault that things had turned out this way. So they bought some gifts and planned to visit her, but when they arrived at the hospital, she had already been discharged and vanished without a trace. They never saw her again.

Until now, only Shenxin, Yu Xietian, and the izakaya proprietress who knew that Yu Xietian didn't have a sister knew this secret. All three of them thought that this matter would be buried forever, until today, Chiyue returned.

Several months later, she returned to the izakaya and stood in front of Yu Xietian. That ill-fated relationship, which she thought had been buried, finally crossed the dark and sunless sea and resurfaced.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Unspeakable!

"Miss Akatsuki..."

Upon seeing Chiyue again, Yu Xietian felt a chill run down his spine. He subconsciously glanced at Shenxin and the landlady, hoping that these two women, who also knew the inside story, could help the woman. However, Shenxin's face clearly said, "I want to watch the show," and the landlady was smoking her own cigarette, so he couldn't count on her at all.

"I did it all on my own!"

Yu Xietian immediately realized that they could do nothing but stand by and watch, so she hardened her heart and decided to rely on herself to overcome the difficulties.

"Should we tell anyone? There's no other way, we have to tell everyone. It's okay, we decided this before, didn't we?!"

Yu Xietian made up his mind and said, "Miss Chiyue, what I am about to say is very important, please listen carefully."

Akatsuki looked to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. She wore delicate light makeup, a red dress, carried a blue bag, and had a silver pendant around her neck. Her neck was long and fair, and she was particularly tall, able to look down at Shinshin and sit on equal footing with Himura Tanzakura. She was truly a beauty.

She nodded and said, "Please go ahead."

"Hoo..." Yu Xietian took a deep breath and prepared to tell the whole story.

However, at that moment, the voices of the Three Musketeers of the Imperial Court came from behind...

Is this the place?

"Oh, this is the place. I've been here before."

Will Yu Xie Tian Hui be there?

"I don't know, why don't you come and look for him? You're finally discharged from the hospital, why don't you ask him for a drink..."

Amidst laughter and conversation, Ying Qin Guan, Naifei Tian (who had just been discharged from the hospital), and Jiu Yi lifted the curtain of the izakaya. Ying Qin Guan, with his excellent hearing, heard Yu Xie Tian's words from a distance and was the first to peek in, asking curiously, "Important? What is it?"

Yu Xietian's expression froze, almost like a black and white photograph.

Of all times...it had to be at this moment?!

I can't bring myself to say it!

Stop joking! I can't say it! I'd rather die than say it! Damn it, why these three of them of all?! If I were to admit here that I've ever dressed as a woman, my life would be over! Utterly over! I'd never be able to hold my head up high again! From now on, I'd be treated like dirt!

Ying Qin Guan, oblivious to anything amiss, walked in and said, "Nefertari has been discharged from the hospital. He was craving food there, so he's planning to treat everyone to a nice meal... By the way, what did you want to say? And who is this...?"

"My name is Chiyue...Mr. Ying, I've heard of you, hello."

"Ah... hello." Ying Qin Guan replied perfunctorily, then turned around and asked in confusion, "Yu Xietian... why are you sweating so much?"

"Is it a lot?" Yu Xietian's body trembled slightly, and sweat poured down like a flood. He picked up a napkin from the table and tried to wipe himself, but it wasn't enough. Instead, his body trembled even more violently.

"..What’s wrong with you?"

Nephalem and Jiu also noticed that Yu Xietian's condition was not right.

He had to explain as soon as possible... Faced with the immense threat of social death, Yu Xietian's body trembled uncontrollably. He forced himself to suppress the trembling and said loudly, "It's okay... It's just that the izakaya is too cold! The air conditioning is set too low, and I'm just shivering a little!"

The proprietress paused slightly as she smoked, glancing at the air conditioner on the side... 25 degrees Celsius.

"Aren't you... a little weak?" Ying Qin Guan squinted and complained, "And if you're cold, why are you sweating so much? Did you do something shameful?"

"No! Absolutely not! I, Yu Xietian, have lived an upright and honorable life! I have never done anything shameful!" Yu Xietian swallowed and said, "As for sweating... it's just that my recent diet has encountered a problem!"

As he spoke, he finally managed to control his body and stop trembling.

Ying Qin Guan and the others were skeptical, while Chi Yue quietly watched him, waiting for an answer. Shen Xin and the landlady had already turned into Nocturne, watching from the side with a "I know everything" smile on their faces, but they didn't say anything. They must have already experienced the joy of being riddle tellers and entertainers.

Yu Xietian then calmed his chaotic mind.

In any case, it's impossible to tell the truth now, absolutely impossible. If I were to tell these three people, my life would be over, and I wouldn't find peace even in hell. So... I can only continue to deceive them.

Forgive me, Akatsuki! This is the last time!

With this thought in mind, Yu Xietian calmed down and gave a brief introduction.

"This is Miss Chiyue. We met before for some reason. These three are Ying Qin Guan, Naifei Tian, ​​and Jiu Yi."

Because Yu Xietian and Chiyue were just ordinary friends... or perhaps he hoped they were just ordinary friends, there wasn't a deeper introduction to Ying Qin Guan and the other two. However, it wasn't a problem. Ying Qin Guan was already quite famous, Naifeitian was a legendary figure among the Seven Luminaries, and Jiu Yi was also fairly well-known, though not as famous as the other two, even though he had a higher social status. Fame had nothing to do with that.

They nodded to each other, which was considered an acquaintance.

Yu Xietian brought up the previous topic again, saying, "Miss Chiyue, the matter concerning my cousin... is a bit complicated, and we may need to discuss it for a while."

It's a little complicated (×)

It's not finished yet (?)

Nephalem spoke up, asking suspiciously, "You have a cousin?"

“Yes.” Yu Xietian had completely calmed down by now, without blushing or panting. “She is my master’s relative. But my master has no children, so his relatives are my relatives. It wouldn’t be wrong to say she’s my cousin, would it?”

"...That's true too."

This explanation seemed plausible and temporarily convinced the Nephalem.

Chi Yue said softly, "I would like to hear the details."

The two sat down to one side, and Ying Qin Guan and the other two did not disturb them further. They went to Shen Xin's side and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Shenxin raised the small blackboard with a meaningful look.

"If you want the answer to the question, go ask him yourself. I am also someone else, and all the words of others are like a passing breeze, gone in an instant, unseen, and unreliable."

Ying Qin Guan remained expressionless, and as he pulled the tab on his beer, he said, "Give me my money back."

"That woman is fond of Yu Xietian's cousin. She left Qiyao a few months ago, but for some reason, she's back today, wanting to inquire about her cousin."

...Even a hero can be brought down by a penny. Shen Xin, a hero of unparalleled stature, has to bow down for a meager sum. But she still has a conscience and craves even more fun, so she hasn't revealed the whole truth. However, the specifics depend on Yu Xietian's own explanation and his ability to improvise. If he can get through this round, finding Chi Yue and telling the truth won't be difficult. But if he doesn't fabricate a good story and things go wrong, then don't blame Shen Xin for kicking him while he's down, transforming into the Grim Reaper, and writing the truth on the blackboard of death.

Yu Xietian sat in his chair, facing an unprecedented crisis.

Can he keep this secret that will make him a laughingstock for the rest of his life?

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Deceiving

Once a lie is told, countless more lies are needed to cover it up.

Having encountered the Three Musketeers of the Imperial Academy, Yu Xietian lost the ability to speak the truth. His brain raced, trying to come up with a perfect, flawless lie, preferably one that would make Chi Yue give up... or at least temporarily give up. In any case, he couldn't let those three good-for-nothing guys who were just jeers for being number one laugh at him. Once they left, things would be much easier to discuss!

Yu Xietian interlaced his fingers and said in a low voice, "I should have said that she got married."

"I know... I've known about this for months." Chi Yue looked confused, with a hint of a sigh. At the time, she had drunk herself into the hospital and then disappeared without a trace. Yu Xietian thought that such a cliché hero-saves-the-damsel plot had been forgotten long ago, but Chi Yue couldn't forget it.

"I just feel it's a pity... I didn't even have a chance to say anything." Chi Yue said softly, "I didn't have a chance to say my feelings, my thoughts, everything... I don't want to ruin their marriage. But no matter what, I have to see her one more time and find out how she's doing. And I also want to thank her again, sincerely."
