Linyan had no qualms about taking off his clothes in front of a 12-year-old child. He was already so old, it was too late for him to say such things.

Noriko Echizen had already adjusted the water temperature for them. They carried the two cats into the water. Linyan moistened the cats' fur and rubbed them with shower gel. Ryoma Echizen hurriedly took off his clothes and joined in the cat washing.

Karubin and Tangerine were very obedient. The two of them washed away the foam and put it in a corner, letting them shake their fur.

Ryoma Echizen and Linyan sat face to face, looking at each other in silence.

Linyan grabbed a handful of water. "Do you want to play?" He heard that children in the human world liked these things, such as playing with water.

Ryoma Echizen shook his head. "No." Who wants to play with children's things?

Linyan put down the water. "Then what do you usually play?"

He spent his childhood learning about cultivation, so he didn't know much about what children in the human world played.

Ryoma Echizen answered without thinking, "Tennis practice."

Linyan suddenly felt that Ryoma Echizen was not much different from him. They did the same thing year after year. When he was young, Linyan carried the honor of his family. After he entered the sect, he carried the honor of the sect. It was as if he was always in seclusion. He couldn't help but think that Ryoma Echizen was not without reason. "Do you like it?"

Ryoma Echizen smiled. "I have fun playing tennis."

Linyan couldn't help but stare blankly. He understood the difference between them. Linyan had the responsibility of the sect on his shoulders. Everyone was looking forward to his growth. His unstable state of mind caused him to go crazy with his swordsmanship. He went from a young hero to a demon that everyone cursed.

"I haven't shown you my swordsmanship today." Linyan looked at him. Ryoma Echizen said vaguely, "I'm just looking."

After putting on the Echizen Minami Jiro's black robes, Linyan realized that his clothes were loose. He tied the belt around his waist tightly and carried his sword to the courtyard.

Ryoma Echizen ate the watermelon cut by Noriko Echizen. Karubin and Tangerine were also given a small piece.

The sword light was like clouds and flowing water. Lin Yan's pace was slow at the beginning, but gradually it became faster and faster until only a shadow could be seen. Faintly, the rumbling sound of the sword brushing through the air could be heard, as if it was about to rush out of the clouds. With light steps, Lin Yan withdrew his sword.

Ryoma Echizen had already finished his watermelon. He suppressed his surprise and clapped insincerely. Tangerine was licking Karubin's claws, ignoring Linyan's beautiful swordsmanship from beginning to end. Linyan wiped the sweat off his forehead. "This is my Dao."

He never changed for Fallen Demons.

He had been thinking about it for so many years, and even felt ashamed of it. From now on, he would cut off all ties with the sect and family.

Linyan only wanted to complete the equivalent exchange with the Shadow. He wanted to return to the Cultivation World and teach that transmigrator a lesson. He wanted to fulfill his oath in the Xuantian Abyss. From now on, he could travel the world with his sword.

Ryoma Echizen didn't know what Linyan was thinking. He looked at Linyan, who was pretending to be mysterious. "Let's go back to the house."

Karubin followed behind Ryoma Echizen. Tangerine meowed a few times at Linyan before following.

Linyan's lips curled. "Thank you."

Ryoma Echizen paused. "I didn't see anything."

Karubin hit his nose because Ryoma Echizen suddenly stopped. He sneezed and looked up at him in confusion. Tangerine also looked at Ryoma Echizen with her big wet eyes.

Linyan picked them up. "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Ryoma Echizen suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell Noriko Echizen about the guest room. Noriko Echizen was packing his clothes. "Ryoma, what's the matter?"

Ryoma Echizen told her about the guest room. Noriko Echizen smiled and said, "You can sleep with Ryoma Echizen. You two boys have something to talk about." Noriko Echizen was very happy that Ryoma Echizen made a good friend who didn't play tennis.

Ryoma Echizen could only take Linyan to his room. Linyan put the clothes on his bed on the chair. The two cats took the initiative to jump onto the bed and occupy their own territory.

Linyan moved their positions. Ryoma Echizen's bed wasn't big, so Linyan and the other cats had nothing to do.

There was a game console in the room. Ryoma Echizen saw that Linyan was also there, so he turned on the console. Linyan stared at the lit screen for a long time, speechless. Was it too late to say that he didn't know how to play games?!

The game was a two-player PK type. As soon as Linyan touched the handle of the game, he was defeated by Ryoma Echizen in a few moves. Ryoma Echizen looked at the weak Linyan in disdain. "You've never played games before?"

"… I'm just new to it."

Linyan turned his face. He couldn't lose to a 12-year-old boy in a fight so easily.

Ryoma Echizen didn't believe him. "I'll teach you."

He explained to Linyan what each key was for. Linyan memorized it quickly and got the hang of it quickly. Ryoma Echizen could finally play a game between masters.

They played a few versions of the game until ten at night. Ryoma Echizen yawned and wanted to sleep. Linyan turned off the game, and Ryoma Echizen wanted to turn off the lights. Linyan slept under the covers. The two of them slept side by side, so Linyan consciously slept on his side.

Karubin stuffed himself between the two of them. Tangerine saw that it had lost the upper hand and crawled under the covers. Ryoma Echizen pulled the covers up, afraid that it would accidentally suffocate to death under the covers.

The family fell asleep soundly. Ryoma Echizen's alarm rang. Karubin's ears twitched, and it slapped its paws on its owner's face, waking Ryoma Echizen up abruptly. He pulled away Karubin's paws and looked at the time. Sleepily, he found something furry in his arms. At first, he thought it was Tangerine.

Karubin was on top of his head. Of course, it wasn't Tangerine, but the meowing on the ground told him that … Ryoma Echizen lowered his head. Warm breaths hit his chest, and his heartbeat quickened. Because Tangerine was wearing a loose robe, her shoulders were exposed after sleeping. Her fair skin entered his sight.

Ryoma Echizen covered himself with the covers and went back to sleep. When Karubin saw that Ryoma Echizen was going to sleep again, it cupped his head and didn't let him sleep.

Ryoma Echizen could only wake Linyan up. Linyan stretched out and bumped into Ryoma Echizen's chin.

Linyan was stuck. "Are you okay?" She got out of Ryoma Echizen's arms and asked calmly.

Ryoma Echizen rubbed his chin. "I'm fine." He got out of bed, put on his shoes, and opened the curtains.

"Ryoma, LinKun, breakfast is ready." Noriko Echizen shouted from downstairs.

The two washed up and sat at the dining table. Noriko Echizen finally made a Japanese-style breakfast. Ryoma Echizen was satisfied and his mood improved.

Momosei Takeshi saw that the weather was good. The sun was shining brightly, and the wind was strong. She rode her bicycle and prepared to have a romantic twenty-minute bike ride with her favorite junior, Ryoma Echizen. She smiled and knocked on the door of Echizen's house.

Linyan didn't eat much. After finishing his breakfast, he went to open the door for Nanako Echizen. "I'll go in."

Momosei Takeshi saw that the door was about to open, so she took a step back. Then, she saw Linyan's familiar face. She turned to look at the wooden sign of Echizen on the door frame. That's right, it's her favorite junior's house. Where did Linyan, who has a crush on her junior, come from? Could it be that the story of them living together is true?!

Linyan looked at Momosei Takeshi's changing expression and wondered if she had contracted some strange illness. "What's wrong with you?"

Momosei Takeshi pointed at the wooden sign of Echizen. "Why are you at Echizen's house?" Don't tell me that you're really living together!

Linyan said faintly, "Is there a problem with me living in his house?"

Of course there's a problem, okay? His little junior is drooling over his beauty, ptui, secretly in love with him, and a crazy fan of his little junior's superb basketball skills. "That's not good." She was still so young, so she couldn't be too anxious. Echizen's parents were really careless.

Linyan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, but seeing Momosei Takeshi's sincere expression of 'trust me', he shouted at Ryoma Echizen to leave it to him.

Linyan packed his bag and left his sword and tangerine at Echizen's house. It wasn't convenient for him to bring it to school.

From his school uniform, he took out the money that the pretty boy from the transmigrator girl gave him. Speaking of which, how was he going to withdraw the money? He had to find some time to ask about it, since it was so easy to just give him cash.

He didn't know what Ryoma Echizen and Momosei Takeshi talked about, but Momosei Takeshi misunderstood something. On the way to school, Momosei Takeshi wanted to say something but didn't. The three people arrived at school, and Momosei Takeshi parted ways with them.

There were quite a few people in the classroom. Snowy Wind entered the classroom around the same time as them, holding a box of biscuits in her hand. She smiled happily and greeted everyone except for Linyan. Ryoma Echizen was especially attentive, passing the biscuits in his hand to her. Some of the boys whistled.

Ryoma Echizen refused on the spot. No matter how good Snowy Wind looked, he still firmly liked girls with ponytails. Snowy Wind was stunned. She didn't think that Ryoma Echizen would so straightforwardly refuse. Then she thought of her brothers who took care of her in every possible way. "Does Ryoma Kun not like biscuits?" The problem definitely wasn't with her.

"Nope."

Ryoma Echizen opened his book. He didn't really dislike biscuits, but yesterday Snowy Wind gave him a huge visual impact. Seeing her again today, he still hadn't properly recovered.

Snowy Wind awkwardly took back the biscuits. Did the male lead of this world not know how to be protective of the fairer sex? More importantly, she was so beautiful. "Ryoma Kun, do you know how to play tennis?"

"Yeah." Snowy Wind heard his answer and was happy. "Just nice?

G, I also like to play tennis. Can I play a round with you? "

When it came to tennis, Ryoma Echizen was very easy to talk about, but he also felt that Snowy Wind's ability should be about the same as Ryūzaki Sakura's, so he wasn't interested in playing with her.
