"It's true! You still need to keep working hard. Only by unleashing your potential can you achieve twice the result with half the effort in your martial arts training." Qibao said.

"Well, we understand. Miss, you don't know that Master Xiao Ling is very strict with us. I have never heard him praise us!" Yue Jiao said.

"Your Master Xiao Ling is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He's doing this for your own good. I've also been through all kinds of training before, more than you're going through now." Qibao said with a look of nostalgia on his face.

"Ah! Miss, no wonder your kung fu is so good! No, I have to work harder." Yue Xuan shook her hand and said.

"Miss, you don't look very old, how do you persist?" Yueyang asked.

"Because I have the determination to become stronger. While protecting myself, I can also protect the people I want to protect. This is why I can persevere." Qibao said.

But what she didn't say was that these were all things from her previous life. In this life, she just wanted to be a little girl who could act coquettishly and throw tantrums with her family. Her personality has changed a lot and become more humane.

"Miss, we are willing to protect whoever you want to protect. I am determined to become stronger!" Yuelang said.

Qibao nodded. Yuelang was usually shy and seldom spoke, but the fact that he could say such words showed that he was really determined.

"Yes, Miss, we have no relatives anymore. You are our only relative, as well as your family. We are willing to protect them together with you." Yue Xiao said.

Qibao was touched and said, "Thank you. Ever since I asked you to stay with me, I have never thought of you as just ordinary guards. I would rather treat you as partners who I can trust with my back."

The twelve people were deeply moved. Qibao's chicken soup filled them up. However, it was not just spiritual chicken soup, but also Qibao's real thoughts.

"Well, take care of yourself during training. Safety comes first. I won't disturb you anymore. I came here today just to see you. I'll leave first." Qibao said.

"Miss, when will you come to see us next time?" Yue Jiao asked.

"I will come to see you as long as I have time. Train well, okay? Also, your master Xiaoling said that you are the one who cries the most." Qibao said.

"I understand, Miss, but I can't help crying. I will definitely change. I won't cry anymore in the future. I will definitely listen to Master Xiao Ling and train well. Now my crying time is much shorter than the first time." Yue Jiao said.

"Well, then I won't bother you anymore, otherwise your Master Xiao Ling will be dissatisfied." Qibao said.

"Okay, miss, but you must come visit us more often!"

Qibao nodded and slipped out of the space.

"We can't let the young lady down. Everyone, let's have a good rest and continue climbing!" Yueyang said.

Everyone else nodded.

Not long after Qibao left the space, Xu Huaer came to play with Qibao.

"Sister Huaer, how come you have time to come and see me today?" Qibao asked.

Ever since the adults in Xujia Village were busy building houses, the housework was basically handed over to the capable children in the family. Xu Huaer was one of them, and they had much less time to go out and play.

Xu Huaer said, "I didn't have anything to do at home today. I thought I hadn't talked to you for a long time, so I came here!"

"Well! It just so happens that we haven't played together for a long time. Let's sit down and talk." Qibao said.

"Hua'er is here? I'll go get some food for you sisters. You can talk while you eat." Wang said with a smile.

There was no need for Wang to do it herself, as Chunlan beside her had already tactfully brought a plate of snacks and placed it in front of the two of them.

"Thank you, Grandma Wang!" Xu Huaer said with a smile.

Wang nodded. Hua'er was a very polite girl and had a good relationship with Qibao. She liked her very much.

The two sisters sat on stools, and Fuqiu poured two glasses of water and placed them in front of them.

Xu Huaer said, "Qibao, my father said that after they finish building the village head's house, they will build a school. Then all the boys in the village will go to school. What kind of teacher do you plan to find?"

Qibao asked, "Do you want to go to school too?"

"Stop joking. How can a girl go to school?" Xu Huaer said with a smile.

"Of course not. When the school in our village is built, both boys and girls can learn to read and learn things!" Qibao said.

"This... This is the first time I've heard that a school can accept female students. Will my family agree to let girls go to school? Also, wouldn't it be inappropriate for them to sit in the same room with boys?" Xu Huaer said.

Qibao said, "These are all trivial matters. Besides, if boys can learn, why can't girls? Don't you want to learn to read?"

Xu Huaer said, "I never thought I would learn to read, but I have a little secret that I have never told anyone. Today I will tell you, I actually want to learn embroidery!"

Qibao was a little surprised and said, "Sister Huaer, I know you are good at sewing and can make clothes, but I've never heard that you want to learn embroidery?"

Xu Huaer said, "One time, when I went to buy needlework with my mother, I saw an older woman selling an embroidery pattern to the shopkeeper for several dozen taels. I was so envious! Although the pattern wasn't big, it was beautifully embroidered."

Qibao asked, "Do you like embroidery or do you just want to exchange it for money?"

Xu Huaer said, "I think I'll have both! But what I want most is to embroider something I like stitch by stitch!"
