Chapter 1: Meteor from Beyond the Sky

Although the speed is not particularly fast, it is still much better than running. The meteorite fell in the direction of Jiang'an County, and she held her breath, exerting herself to run faster.

Yue Tianheng sighed again, truly unsure whether to feel sympathy for her or for her master, the great hero Pei.

Xue Mu You immediately showed a worried expression, her large grape-like eyes rolling around as if she had thought of something, "You don't even know martial arts, how can you help my father? Don't cause more trouble!"

Oh—" Xue Yunmu elongated his tone, glancing at him from the corner of his eye, clearly expressing his disdain, "Descendant of a master craftsman, having seen so many meteorites is truly impressive. Tell me, what kind is this?"

Yue Tianheng was reprimanded and felt quite indignant, "Master! Although I have only been your apprentice for a year, I am still the direct descendant of a renowned master from Jiangnan. Why do you look down on me so much? Who doesn't know that is a meteorite? We have plenty of meteorites in our storeroom, and I don't find them remarkable at all!"

Sigh. Yue Tianheng shook his head, expressing great exasperation, "Even arguing is not possible! You are truly renowned throughout the universe—" He cast a teasing glance at Xue Yunmu and continued to mock Xue Muyao, "The daughter of Xue Tiangong, the disciple of the great hero Pei? That's hilarious!"

"You leave him to be beaten—" Xue Yunmu's voice was already fading and intermittent, "After the beating, bring him to me—"

With a joyful expression, Xue Yunmu gently patted his daughter's trembling shoulder while fixating on the direction of the falling meteor, murmuring: "Youyou need not be afraid, do not be afraid, this is a good thing."

Xue Mu You bit her delicate red lips and grandly decided to set aside personal grievances for the time being, as helping her father was the most important thing

Hurry and take me to catch up with the master, this meteorite is a rare gem among stones, and there must be many who covet it. It is possible that the court has already sent people to seize it, the situation is urgent

Yue Tianheng chuckled mischievously while covering his mouth, glancing back and forth at the eager father and daughter with ill intentions in his eyes. "My master’s wife is a renowned socialite from the Zuo family in Qinghai, known as the most beautiful woman on the Tibetan border. How could Yuyou compare to her? Master, it must be that your wife, while you were wandering outside, casually picked up a child from a garbage heap to deceive you."

Xue Yunmu felt unconvinced, "My daughter resembles her mother. A true lady of refinement!"

Lying on one side, Yue Tianheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up, casually running his fingers through his disheveled hair. Yawning without surprise, he said, "Oh, it's the broom star. I wonder who has committed another misdeed, the heavens are giving a warning."

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the moon in the sky is reflected in the gently flowing stream, which, though not as grand as the river scenery, possesses a unique tranquility and charm

Hurry and grab it, or someone else will take it! Xue Tiangong swiftly turned around and leaped, as if his exceptional lightness skill was honed specifically for competing with others to seize rare minerals

"You are talking nonsense!" Xue Muyao, who was in her grandfather's arms, jumped up angrily, "My master is definitely not someone who accepts bribes!" At twelve years old, she was a head shorter than the fourteen-year-old Yue Tianheng, who immediately took advantage of this height difference, exaggeratingly bending down to look at her.

I say you are truly beautiful

In the year 1032 of the Common Era, during the second year of the Jingfu era of Emperor Xingzong of Liao, and the sixth year of the Tiansheng era of Emperor Renzong of Song

Yue Tianheng enjoyed the summer breeze on her back, letting out a sigh of pity, "Smart people use their brains, while fools exert their strength"

"Beat him!" Xue Yunmu, unable to endure any longer, rolled up his sleeves

I have arrived! The round and plump light beauty also imitates her father's manner by roughly rolling up her sleeves

Father! What should we do about Yuetianheng?" Xue Muyou also wanted to chase after her father, but unable to suppress her anger, she stomped her feet at the back of Xue Yunmu, who did not turn back.

With a loud bang, the ground trembled slightly.

Xue Mu You huffed arrogantly, wearing an expression that suggested she already knew without needing to be told.

A dazzling light suddenly streaked across the sky, several times more blinding than an ordinary meteor, piercing through the clouds and mist with a thunderous rumble, leaving a thick trail of smoke behind, and slowing down as it approached the ground

Yue Tianheng stood up and let out a grunt, showing his defiance. He carefully observed the distant moving light and the color of the thick smoke it left behind, saying, "This is your favorite, Master. The 'Yuntian' sword that you gifted to Pei Junwu as a bribe was forged from this kind of stone."

The night was deep and serene, and the roar of falling meteors was even more breathtaking in the open countryside. Because Xue Mu You, who was camping outdoors, had not fallen into a deep sleep, she stared in astonishment for a while before letting out a high-pitched scream, jumping up from the ground and rushing into her father's arms

Xue Mu You was taken aback, unsure of what trick he was up to this time

Did I say something wrong?" He grinned mockingly, his handsome face provocatively swaying in front of Xue Mu You, "You are so foolish that even your own father is unwilling to teach you. Isn't Master Pei interested in Yun Tian, willing to take you as his disciple? Are you not enjoying a good life and instead torturing yourself?"

Sichuan, Yibin

You! You!" Her chubby little finger pointed at Yue Tianheng's prominent nose, trembling as she was unable to utter a single retort in response to him

Xue Mu You frowned and turned around, her face full of impatience as if she wanted to finish the fight quickly and get on with serious matters. The martial arts taught to her by her master could finally be put to use, and it would also allow Yue Tianheng, this pedantic scholar, to experience her prowess firsthand

Hmm? Xue Mu You did not hear clearly what he said

Yue Tianheng furrowed his brows, his attitude sincere, "The more it is at times like this, the more I need to be by my master's side. I may lack physical strength, but I can contribute my intellect."

Ah! Look! Yue Tianheng, who is trapped in a crisis, shows no fear, pointing at the Xu family father and daughter behind him as if watching a spectacle at a market, "The meteorite has landed!"

Yoyo. Yue Tianheng's face turned serious as he adopted a solemn expression; despite being underage, he displayed a grave demeanor that was quite striking.

Father! A star has fallen from the sky!

"Nonsense!" Xue Yunmu glared at him, "Ignorance."

Carrying the slender and tall Yue Tianheng, she spent half a year in the bamboo sea, where she learned the best skill of all: lightness of foot. The lightness of foot in the bamboo sea was truly beautiful; when she saw Sister Yun Shun using it, she was astonished beyond words. When her master pointed and the bamboo flew past her head, she thought she had seen a true immortal.
