31: Could it be that this girl suspects him?
At the entrance of the village.
Chu Yuan finished his practice and looked at the children who were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with starlight.
"Want to learn? I can teach you!"
Hearing his voice, the children's eyes lit up, and they spoke up one after another:
"Big Brother Chu Yuan, I want to learn!"
"Little Uncle, I want to learn too!"
"Me too, me too!"
"..."
The children spoke up excitedly; they didn't understand whether it was powerful or not, but they knew it looked good!
Chu Yuan smiled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhao Jun approaching him.
His gaze was serious, "Lad Chu, I know you mean well, but learning a Martial Skill requires a strong physique. They are still too young now, they cannot learn!"
Hearing this, the children's eyes dimmed, but facing Zhao Jun, no one dared to speak.
Chu Yuan looked at Zhao Jun and smiled, "Grandpa Zhao, I know your concerns, but my Meteor Sword Technique is a little different!"
"My Meteor Sword Technique originated from the Chaotic Star Saber Technique, but it doesn't have as many requirements regarding physique."
"The Meteor Sword Technique emphasizes speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, using tricky sword moves to attack the enemy's weak points."
"Even children can learn a move or two to give themselves an extra measure of self-preservation."
"As their understanding of the sword technique deepens and their own physique strengthens, the power of the sword technique will also improve."
"I plan to teach it to everyone in the village, but whether they can master it depends on their destiny."
Hearing this, Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes, appearing somewhat surprised and uncertain.
Meanwhile, the villagers in the distance heard this and their faces lit up with joy and anticipation.
"Chu Yuan, are you serious about this?"
Zhang Xiangwen walked over, his tone skeptical, yet his face revealed pleasant surprise and expectation.
"Uncle Zhang, I grew up eating the food of every family in this village. Naturally, I wouldn't harm anyone."
Chu Yuan nodded, "Furthermore, afterward I can write out the Martial Skill and place it inside the Ancestral Hall."
Since he planned to teach the Meteor Sword Technique to Xiao Huang Village, he had never considered keeping it private.
Moreover, if he wanted to, he could get something better at any time, so there was no need to hoard it!
"Good!"
Zhang Xiangwen didn't hesitate, nodding, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"
"Uncle Zhang, you jest. This is what I should do. How can it be considered trouble?"
Chu Yuan shook his head and smiled, immediately telling the children to take rice stalks and starting to teach them the sword technique.
As for what the other villagers chose to use as swords, that was none of his concern.
Over there, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and she ran home to retrieve the wooden sword.
This was what Chu Yuan had given her when he decided to teach her the sword technique back then.
And so.
With the sun high in the sky, almost everyone in Xiao Huang Village followed along and learned the sword technique.
Even Zhang Xiangwen and the other person were no exception!
Chu Yuan was like an instructor, teaching them movement by movement.
He moved among the crowd, occasionally helping to correct their postures.
Just like that.
In the blink of an eye, the sun began to set in the west.
Everyone moved the rice grains back into the large shed and prepared to head home.
Chu Yuan came up beside Zhang Xiangwen, smiled, and said: "Uncle Zhang, I see that you and Grandpa Zhao have roughly mastered it. Tomorrow, you two teach everyone, I intend to learn literacy from Sister Yaner."
Previously, he had noticed that Zhang Xiangwen and Zhao Jun had a foundation for Cultivation and learned the Martial Skill quickly, so he focused on instructing them both.
Now that they had mastered it, they could instruct the others.
At most, he would drop by occasionally to offer guidance.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiangwen's expression paused slightly, and then he nodded.
"That's fine!"
As he spoke, he subtly glanced at his daughter, sighing lightly in his heart.
Forget it!
After going back, he should still mention a few things to Yaner. This girl was getting too deeply involved.
If Chu Yuan were to leave in the future, the damage to her might be too great.
At this moment, a middle-aged man nearby suddenly said: "Speaking of which, did any of you notice that the rice grains seem to be a bit more than usual?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Immediately, someone teased: "Second Brother Sun, perhaps you're worrying too much? Rice grains only get less after drying in the sun, how could there be more?"
"That's right, Second Brother Sun, don't joke around. How is that possible?"
Someone else agreed, clearly disbelieving him.
At this time, another person spoke up: "I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Second Brother Sun feels it too?"
"Huh, now that you mention it, I seem to feel that way too!" Another person chimed in.
Seeing two people continuously agree, both of whom were responsible for moving the rice grains back to the shed, everyone present looked surprised and uncertain.
Could there really be more?
Seeing this, Chu Yuan quickly spoke up: "Second Uncle Sun, it's possible that mixing the contents of the four sheds together gave you a false impression."
"Besides, I see no problems with those rice grains. Since that's the case, isn't having more a good thing?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"That's right, Chu Yuan is right. Stop being so suspicious."
"Haha, I also think having more is good. I actually hope there is more."
"I hope so too!"
Everyone laughed and joked, and no one brought up the matter again.
Seeing this, Chu Yuan slightly relaxed in his heart.
But just then, he suddenly felt a gaze land on him.
He turned his head and saw Zhang Yan looking at him with surprise and suspicion in her eyes, yet she said nothing.
Chu Yuan sighed inwardly. Could this young girl be suspicious of him?
But thinking about it, she should be!
Back then, he had received the low-grade spirit fruit from this girl, only for it to turn into a better spirit fruit.
Now that the villagers had raised this doubt, it was probably hard for this girl not to overthink things.
But he had no solution for this.
Chu Yuan took a few steps back, approached Zhang Yan, and said with a light smile:
"Sister Yaner, I already told Uncle Zhang. Tomorrow, I'll have to trouble you to teach me how to read!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yan's bright eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Okay, Big Brother Chu Yuan!"
"Alright, it's settled then. Tomorrow you teach me literacy, and I'll teach you the sword technique!"
Chu Yuan said with a smile.
"Mhm, mhm!"
Zhang Yan nodded quickly, her small face full of happiness and a hint of longing.
At this moment, Xu Jing smiled and said: "Chu Yuan, you'll be too lazy to cook for just yourself. Come eat at my house!"
Hearing this, Chu Yuan shook his head slightly and chuckled: "Aunt Xu, I won't trouble you."
Seeing his refusal, Xu Jing opened her mouth, wanting to say something more.
But realizing something, she didn't say anything further.
Returning home.
Chu Yuan casually cooked some rice, and his gaze fell upon the primal origin space.
He copied a version of the Meteor Sword Technique, preparing to give it directly to Zhang Xiangwen when the opportunity arose.
Afterward, he sat down nearby, his gaze somewhat distant as he looked at the house before him.
"In the end, I must leave!"
Chu Yuan sighed softly, turning his gaze toward the area outside Xiao Huang Village.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, a hint of chill flashing within them, as if a fierce light flickered.
