"Pfft, this Kong Wushi is a wise man. No wonder he was able to rise so quickly in the Yuantai Dynasty, from a mere martial arts master to a second-rank Shengwushi."

Yu Huaian smiled bitterly: "It seems that the relationship between us brothers and sisters is known to the whole court."

"Haha, yes."

Yu Ling'er smiled coquettishly: "Ling'er has a brother who is a big shot in the court to protect her. Those children from noble families who usually look down on me as a poor kid have become very respectful to me!"

"That's a good thing."

Yu Huaian nodded seriously and rubbed his sister's head. "If it can make you feel more comfortable, all my efforts over the years will not be in vain."

He meant it.

When he traveled to this world, he was only seven years old. After inheriting the memories of his original body, he spent eight years with his sister, which was longer than the time he spent with Concubine Wan.

It can be said that his sister and father are the people he trusts most unconditionally in this world.

"Hey."

Yu Ling'er suddenly sighed, leaned forward, and lay in her brother's arms: "Brother, look, you are now a very important official. Thanks to you, Ling'er made great contributions in the Moon Sacrifice Ceremony and won the emperor's commendation. She also bought many little skirts and jewelry that I wanted to buy but didn't have the money to buy in the past."

"But Daddy is whining."

Speaking of this, the second young lady of the Yu family's eyes instantly turned red, and tears as big as beans streamed down her cheeks.

"Hey, girl, why are you shedding pearls over this again?"

Yu Huaian quickly reached out his hand and wiped away his sister's tears. "Didn't I tell you? From what I know about dad, the fire was just a way for him to get out of this situation. He wanted you to stay in Shengwu Academy and study hard. Who knows where he is now, having a good time."

"In addition, I recently learned some things about my father when he was young, which further proves that he could not have died in the fire."

"W-what's the matter?" Yu Ling'er widened her crystal eyes.

"Forget it, it's nothing. Anyway, just trust me."

Yu Huaian thought about it and decided not to tell his sister about his father, who had been a bootlicker of the Queen Xiu when he was young.

"Well! Ling'er, don't cry! Ling'er believes in brother! We will definitely find daddy and reunite as a family!"

Yu Ling'er wiped away her tears and nodded heavily.

"That's good."

Yu Huaian patted his sister's face and asked, "By the way, during this period of time, when others asked about our family background, did you..."

"Don't worry, brother!"

Yu Ling'er took over the conversation and said obediently, "Even when Zhu Wushi, who has the best relationship with me, asked me, Ling'er just said that our family is a poor scholar family and my father is a fortune teller!"

"It's you, brother."

Yu Ling'er suddenly thought of something, her cheeks turned red, she lowered her head and looked at her brother's waist: "Brother, are you really not cleansed?"

"Ok?"

Yu Huaian was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't I tell you? Why do you always worry about this? This isn't that important."

"Of course it's important! Daddy once got drunk and told Ling'er with a smile that he hoped Ling'er would find her brother and be with him..."

Speaking of this, Yu Ling'er felt embarrassed and her face became even hotter.

He quickly rubbed his chubby face, as if trying to calm himself down.

"What to me?"

Yu Huaian was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly thought of something!

Yes!

Ling'er's shy expression was exactly the same as when Su Qingqing confessed to him for the first time!

So she is

It's going to go against the will of heaven!!!

In an instant, Yu Huaian's tiger body shook, and then he released a powerful and warm internal force, lifting his sister off his legs!

Men and women are not allowed to kiss each other!

My sister is no longer the short-legged little Loli who used to learn to shout "Brother-chan" with slurred speech in my memory!

She has grown into a big girl, but she still has the thoughts of a young girl!

And Yu, a certain person, would never want to fly to Germany!

"Brother you"

Yu Ling'er looked at her brother whose expression suddenly became serious, her little face filled with shock and fear.

The brother and sister looked at each other awkwardly for a moment.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding you."

Thinking of the five years he owed his sister, Yu Huaian smiled and broke the silence: "Ling'er, you are already a grown-up girl now. After this period of time is over, you, the top students, will have to return to Cangzhou Shengwu Academy to prepare the "Entrance Examination Form". As for your future path, do you have any idea in your mind..."

"Is there a choice?"

After saying this, he saw his sister lower her head and remain silent.

Yu Huaian cleared his throat, acted like an elder, and said solemnly, "You are not knowledgeable enough, so let me give you a rough plan."

"According to court practice, the first 100 students who graduate from Shengwu Academy have three options for becoming an official. One is to stay at Shengwu Academy to teach, starting as an apprentice martial artist. The upper limit of future promotion will be the rank of Kong Wushi, the supervisor of the Imperial Capital's martial arts school."

"As for the seven martial nobles and three permanent martial marquises of the Shengwu Academy, they are positions specially reserved by the court for folk martial arts families. You don't have to think about them."

"What about the position of Martial Saint? Can Ling'er think about it? Hahaha!"

Yu Ling'er tilted her head and said playfully.

"Don't even mention you, I don't even dare to think about it."

Yu Huaian rolled his eyes and said, "The current Martial Saint of your Shengwu Academy, Jiang Taiyuan, has also reached the second-grade Saint realm. I just learned from Empress Dowager Xiao that he once fought against monsters at the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall. I can't tell you about this yet."

Yu Huaian quickly stopped talking and said, "In short, you only need to remember one thing. Jiang Taiyuan's most powerful thing is not his strength, but his real surname."

"Huh? Isn't Jiang Wusheng's last name Jiang Me?"

Yu Ling'er was quite curious.

"Of course. I've seen the imperial court's military records. He is the younger brother of the previous king of Beichuan. He is definitely a member of the royal family."

Yu Huaian raised his eyebrows: "Do you understand now? All the previous Martial Saints of Shengwu Academy are actually descendants of royal families, without exception. If you want to become a Martial Saint, first of all, you have to have the surname Su."

"Hahahahaha."

Yu Ling'er smiled and said casually: "Maybe Ling'er is really..."

Having said this, she suddenly realized something and quickly covered her mouth.

Yes.

Daddy said so.

That secret must not be told to my brother unless it is absolutely necessary!

"Let's get back to the topic. Let's talk about the second career path."

Yu Huaian said: "This second option seems to be the same as the first one, but the treatment is very different. That is to go directly to the Imperial Academy. In this way, you can stay in the imperial capital and meet your brother all the time."

"Imperial Academy? Isn't that the highest martial arts academy of the royal family? What can Ling'er do there?" Yu Ling'er blinked her big eyes, a little curious.

"It's better to start as an apprentice warrior."

Yu Huaian said, "But as an apprentice martial artist, you will not only have a much higher salary at the Imperial Academy, but you will also have access to a large number of training resources, and there will be much less work to do than at the Holy Martial Academy. After all, you only need to teach the children of princes and nobles. Of course, it is difficult for children from non-famous families to go to the Imperial Academy, but with your brother's current connections, this can be accomplished."

"Okay, I see! Then brother, tell Ling'er about the third way."

Yu Ling'er curved her eyebrows and smiled sweetly.

"Do we need to mention the third one?" Yu Huaian frowned slightly: "Girl, do you understand the value of the compilation?"

"Hey, brother, do you really want me to go to the Imperial Academy?"

"Don't you want to stay with your brother?"

Yu Ling'er smiled playfully but did not answer.

"Okay, the third way is to work in the Six Gates of the Ministry of Justice, or in any of the major judicial offices. The upper limit of this path is the Shenbu Division, an independent agency outside of the Six Ministries."

"No, no, no, Ling'er doesn't want to go to the Divine Detective Department!"

"Hey, why?"

"Brother said that he hates Lord Nie of the Divine Constable Department the most. If Ling'er goes there, brother will definitely feel bad!"

Yu Huaian smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. With Nie Zheng's petty mind, he will definitely make things difficult for you. So, just go and be the Imperial School Supervisor. If you don't want to do this job, there are plenty of people who will."

"No, no, no, brother deliberately left out the fourth way, which is——"

Yu Ling'er raised her finger and said cleverly, "A mysterious martial arts corps stationed all over the country, only dispatched by the Shengwu Academy, responsible for handling disputes in the martial arts world, suppressing rebellions of aristocratic families, and assisting in guarding the border when necessary—"

"Black Guards!"

"Alright, alright."

Yu Huaian waved his hand: "The Black Guards may seem mysterious and prestigious, and their status and treatment are not bad, but in fact they are just cannon fodder deployed by the court on the front line."

"Once there is a dispute between the imperial court and the martial arts families, or a riot in the border areas, they will be the first to charge. How can the imperial capital's government be so clean and noble?"

"But Ling'er wants to experience more of the martial arts world and doesn't want to enter the court so soon. The Black Guards seem to be a good choice," Yu Ling'er said weakly, lowering her head.

"You, it's obvious that you've been influenced by your father since you were a child."

"The imperial court is not as good as it is portrayed to be, but it is also far from being as bad as my father says."

Yu Huaian smiled bitterly, feeling quite helpless about filling out the college entrance examination application form for his sister. "Yes, yes, you will have to walk the road ahead by yourself in many cases. It's up to you."

"Is my brother angry?"

Yu Ling'er noticed something quickly, and quickly walked forward and hugged her brother's arm, "I'm sorry, Ling'er was naughty."

"Not really."

Yu Huaian pinched his sister's cheek and sighed softly, "But when I think about the fact that we will be reunited for a short while and then separated again soon, I feel a little sad."

"Brother, do you want to know why Ling'er wants to join the Black Guard?"

"why?"
