The improved female villains regained their memories.

A single immortal can suppress an army of ten thousand, and Xiaozhu and Xiaohua both possess the aptitude for cultivating immortality, so military strategy is indeed of little use to them.

"Alright, stop complaining," Xiaohua comforted. "The Grand Tutor has his reasons for teaching us. Don't forget your father's instructions."

Xiao Zhu pouted and stopped talking.

Xiaozhu and Xiaohua are just pseudonyms for the two of them. They are using pseudonyms to study under Yang Pingsheng, which is obviously for their own purposes.

Yang Pingsheng carried the bamboo slips to the courtyard and saw Xu Anlu sitting on the ground, covered in dirt.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just tripped and fell, hehe..."

She tilted her head back, smiling, with tears glistening in her eyes.

Yang Pingsheng squatted down to check and saw that there was a wound on his knee, which was bleeding. He had fallen quite hard.

Perhaps he was eavesdropping outside and saw the people inside about to come out, so he rushed back and fell.

"I have some ointment, I'll get it for you."

"Grand Tutor..."

The little girl tugged at his sleeve again, her eyes glistening with tears, and said, "Can't you really teach me?"

He stopped and looked at the lively and adorable female villain. Her dark eyes were full of spirit, and it seemed that hope had been rekindled in the blink of an eye.

What do you want to learn?

"I want to learn anything that the Grand Tutor teaches."

"Isn't there anything you really want to learn?"

"I want to learn martial arts!"

"Agree," the system said.

Yang Pingsheng's expression softened, and he patted her hair: "Okay."

"Really? Yay!"

Xu Anlu cheered, as if the injury had never existed.

Xiao Zhu, who was not far away, saw this scene and whispered, "Is there something wrong with this woman's head?"

Xiao Hua, who was next to him, glared at him and said, "Shut up."

"Oh."

Sometimes, hatred and resentment can arise in an instant.

At least that's the case for Xiaozhu and the female villain.

Chapter Fifty-Five: Spirituality

At noon, taking advantage of the absence of others, the system transmitted several sets of cultivation techniques to Yang Pingsheng.

It even had excess energy to provide a complete set of weapons. It was just that it had been dormant for a long time in its second life and had plenty of energy, so it was now squandering it to death.

The techniques were also recorded on bamboo slips, accompanied by stick figure-like illustrations. Yang Pingsheng glanced at them briefly and found that they were mostly martial arts techniques.

It's not the kind of martial arts that allow you to soar to the heavens and dive into the earth, making you the only one who matters. It's just basic Xingyi, Tai Chi, and Baguazhang.

After lunch, Yang Pingsheng called Xu Anlu to the inner room and put the books on the table.

Can you read?

"A literate gentleman."

“Don’t call me ‘sir,’” Yang Pingsheng said. “I did not take you as my apprentice.”

"Huh?" Xu Anlu was taken aback. "But you're willing to teach me..."

"That doesn't mean I'm going to take you as my apprentice."

He asked Xu Anlu to sit down and said, "There are some instructions. You will spend the afternoon choosing a boxing manual and memorizing the movements."

"Oh……"

He walked out, leaving the place to Xu Anlu.

As he reached the door, he turned to look at her. The female villain, sitting on the wooden chair, appeared small, and he noticed that when he looked at her, a lively and cheerful smile would appear on his face.

"Grand Tutor, please wait!"

"It looks great."

He left and went to the school, where Xiaozhu and Xiaohua were already waiting for him.

"gentlemen."

The two stood up, and Yang Pingsheng beckoned, spreading out Sun Tzu's Art of War on the table.

"Let's continue with what we discussed this morning."

Meanwhile, within the same body, the two sisters' souls were at odds.

Xu Anyin: "You're not listening to me, are you?"

Xu Anlu: "The Grand Tutor told me to stay here and memorize the movements."

Xu Anyin: "Are you brain-damaged? You can't beat those cultivators in martial arts. You might as well go listen to that old guy's lectures. He's quite interesting."

Xu Anlu: "I don't want to go."

Xu Anyin: "I'll beat you up tonight, you believe me?"

Xu Anlu: "Once I master martial arts, I won't be afraid of you anymore!"

Xu Anyin: "You've gone too far!!"

However, Xu Anyin was helpless; control of her body lay with Xu Anlu, not with her.

Xu Anlu was unwilling to eavesdrop, so Xu Anyin had no choice but to comply. She had already become interested and was secretly thinking about when to find out what the old man was up to.

"Old thing" was the nickname she gave Yang Pingsheng; she just liked giving people nicknames.

All afternoon, Xu Anlu focused on memorizing martial arts movements, while Yang Pingsheng focused on teaching his Sun Tzu's Art of War.

There was no more ahoge or red figure outside the window; they must have been distracted by martial arts and weren't planning to come back.

After class, Yang Pingsheng assigned them homework: to analyze Han Xin's desperate battle. Xiao Zhu and Xiao Hua looked at each other, completely baffled as to what the assignment was supposed to be.

"Don't count on spiritual energy," Yang Pingsheng said seriously. "If one day, spiritual energy disappears and you all become ordinary people, then only those with strong organizational skills will be able to stand at the top and look down on all the mountains."

The organization is above the individual.

Without spiritual energy, whoever wins the hearts of the people and gains their support will be able to grasp the Dao.

Of course, this statement can also be reversed: whoever grasps the "Tao" will win the hearts of the people and gain their support.

Xiao Zhu wanted to ask how the spiritual energy could disappear, but after being glared at by Xiao Hua, she didn't say anything.

In short, today's class is over. Yang Pingsheng packed up his things and led them back to the courtyard.

Xu Anlu was standing in the courtyard, practicing the Three-Body Stance. When she saw Yang Pingsheng arrive, she cheered like a sparrow:

"Grand Tutor, look, I've memorized the movements."

"Grand Tutor, am I standing at the correct standard?"

"Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, am I ready to move on to the next stage?"

It chattered away like a sparrow, asking three questions in one go.

Yang Pingsheng walked over and corrected her posture: "How long have you been standing there?"

"Forty minutes have passed, Grand Tutor."

Forty minutes seems a bit long for a twelve-year-old girl.

She was able to calm down.

"Sir, we're going to make dinner," Little Flower called out from the side.

Yang Pingsheng nodded, no longer looking at them, and patted Xu Anlu's head: "Alright, you don't need to stand anymore."

"Can I practice the Five Elements Fist now?"

"Ah."

"Yay!!"

Be careful not to fall.

She rushed into the inner room in a flustered manner, making it hard for Yang Pingsheng to imagine that this was the same person who could stand still for forty minutes.

The system said that Xu Anlu's martial arts skills were extremely high, high enough to kill the protagonist of the cultivation world. To be honest, Yang Pingsheng was somewhat skeptical.

In the world of cultivation, immortal techniques are rampant, and martial arts are nothing more than a pastime.

But who can imagine the future? The tiny sapling broke through the soil, and at first, even a drop of water could make it bend over. Who could have imagined what it would look like as a towering tree in the future?

After dinner, Xiaozhu and Xiaohua did their homework in their room, while Xu Anlu ran out to the yard to practice boxing.

Yang Pingsheng sat on a wooden chair in the inner room. Through the window, he could see the girl's earnest movements, one by one. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after the meal, she had already mastered the movements of the Five Elements Fist, and even corrected the mistakes he had made, making her even better than before.

What a peculiar female villain.

Lively and cheerful, with a talent for martial arts, and polite to others.

They act with great spirit and don't care even if they get hurt.

Full of passion, he seems more like a protagonist than a villain.

Every time Yang Pingsheng was with her, every time she called him "Grand Tutor," his heart would flutter.

She's a very cute girl.

The system's voice rang out: "She's only twelve years old, isn't it a bit too early to pursue her?"

They're never serious.

Yang Pingsheng wasn't going to joke with it and went straight to the point: "What's the plan for the next phase?"

"Wow, that's quite self-motivated. The next stage will be like this: teach Xu Anlu boxing, and then continue teaching Sun Tzu's Art of War."
