The Birds Keep Chirping

A hyperactive, universally adored girl, 1 × a workaholic, martial-arts-obsessed ice-cold beauty, 0. Younger fellow disciples, absurdist light comedy. Yun Zhen, the only son of a wealthy Jiangnan merchant, was blessed with good looks. Unfortunately, he was also blessed with a mouth. He drove away seven or eight tutors. Before the last one left, he lamented, “This child’s words pour out like a flood. He’s even partly responsible for the rising waters of West Lake! I can’t teach him. I just can’t!” At sixteen, for some inexplicable reason, the young master suddenly announced that he wanted to learn martial arts, become a hero, and fight for justice. Seven martial arts schools rejected him within three days. In the end, he joined a down-on-its-luck sect with only four people left. There was only one reason: his father had offered far too much money! The master stroked his beard, looking inscrutable. “This boy has extraordinary bones. He’s a martial arts prodigy the likes of which appear once in a century!” His parents waved their hands, beaming with delight. “Then train him! Build our darling the biggest training ground!” The senior disciple and senior sister smiled warmly. “Our junior brother is so adorable!” His parents were overjoyed. “Build a few more courtyards for our son’s senior brother and sister, too.” Only the second senior brother, Jiang Zhi, remained expressionless. A chill radiated three feet around him, and one glance from him could freeze a person into an ice sculpture. Yun Zhen’s eyes lit up. He’s so handsome! Isn’t this exactly who I want to be? Alas, one-sided affection met with indifference. After being ignored again and again, Yun Zhen’s rose-colored glasses shattered. A martial arts master? An emotionless swordsman? He was nothing but a hard, foul-smelling, stubborn rock! So Yun Zhen unilaterally declared that he and Jiang Zhi were enemies. After spending two years at the sect, Yun Zhen decided he had more or less “learned nothing” and resolved to formally leave the sect and venture into the martial world. Then one morning, he woke up to discover that he had turned into a ball. More precisely, a fluffy pearl bird. The master picked him up and took a look. “Oh, your soul has left your body and entered a spirit bird. It’s nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about.” Then he casually handed the little white fluffball to Jiang Zhi, who happened to be passing by. “I’m going on a journey. Second disciple, look after this bird for now.” Yun Zhen: ??? Master! Father! Mother! Help! How did I turn into a bird? How am I supposed to fight for justice now?! And why Jiang Zhi?! Jiang Zhi stared at the puffball in his palm, its feathers fluffed up, and furrowed his brows. But gradually, Yun Zhen began to realize that there was something strange about his second senior brother. Theme: Protect animals, respect life, and let humans and animals live in harmony
