Chapter 59: Don't Want to Fall Behind

"Aunt." Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai came to Aunt Lian's residence together.

Aunt Lian smiled and told them to hurry into the house: "Why did you come back today?"

Nie Chubai said, "Xue'er and I have something to do and have to leave the capital today, so we came to see you in advance."

Aunt Lian was tactful enough not to ask where the two were going, but only reminded them to be careful when they were out.

"Aunt, I'll leave Ai Ye to take care of you. Just tell her if you need anything. I've made all the arrangements." Wen Yingxue moved closer to Aunt Lian and pushed Nie Chubai away.

Aunt Lian asked, "Will you be gone for a long time?"

"It'll only be two or three months, and I'll be back soon."

"Okay, I understand." Aunt Lian touched Wen Yingxue's head.

After chatting about family matters for a while, someone came up to tell us that it was time to go for lunch.

During lunch, Wen Yingxue also met Wen Rouqing and the legendary Xu Juren.

However, both of them looked unhappy, especially Wen Rouqing, who looked at Wen Yingxue as if she wanted to eat her.

Wen Yuyan approached Wen Yingxue and gloated, "We don't know how our fourth sister managed to offend the Seventh Princess. She sent servants to humiliate her. Now the news has spread all over the capital."

Wen Yingxue raised her eyebrows and smiled.

The only people who knew that she was going to be Ye Junyan's concubine, besides the person involved and the heroine, were Zhang's mother and daughter, Aunt Lian, and Nie Chubai.

When the Seventh Princess came over with a solemn promise to cause trouble, Wen Yingxue already knew that it must be Wen Rouqing's doing.

It's all her own fault that she has ended up like this. I guess Mr. Xu must be fed up with this big-breasted, brainless wife now.

If you continue like this, Wenrouqing's good days will be over.

After finishing their meal, Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai immediately said goodbye.

The carriage from the general's mansion drove directly out of the city, where Ji Yan, Wu Nan, Guan Ziming and Zi Su were already waiting there.

"Zi Su? You're back?" Wen Yingxue looked at Zi Su in surprise and asked.

Zi Su nodded and saluted Wen Yingxue: "Madam, I just got back too. I rushed over to accompany you right away."

Nie Chubai looked at the smiling Wen Yingxue, narrowed his eyes unhappily, and pushed Wen Yingxue's head into the carriage.

"Hold on tight, we're about to depart."

Zi Su trotted and climbed into the carriage under Nie Chubai's deathly gaze.

Suddenly, the carriage was filled with the sound of two people talking cheerfully.

Nie Chubai tutted in dissatisfaction, kicked the horse's belly, and ran out first: "Let's go."

"Zi Su, how did you complete your mission?" Wen Yingxue asked curiously, carefully observing Zi Su's every move.

Zi Su's smile froze slightly. She lowered her eyes slightly, then raised them again and looked at Wen Yingxue and said, "Well done."

Seeing that something was obviously wrong with Zi Su, Wen Yingxue really wanted to ask how you were getting along with that person, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't say anything.

After all, the sweet and sour first love has just sprouted, so let Zi Su experience it herself first.

Wen Yingxue said "oh" and stopped asking with a smile.

"Zi Su, can you teach me how to use a repeating crossbow? And some hidden weapons?" Wen Yingxue suddenly said.

Zi Su nodded. She also felt that Wen Yingxue should learn some self-defense skills, so she immediately began to teach her seriously. Wen Yingxue learned very seriously.

At night, a group of people stopped to rest in the wilderness.

"You asked Zi Su to teach you martial arts?" Nie Chubai asked.

Wen Yingxue nodded, not denying it. "Yes, this trip is so dangerous, and I'm powerless. I'm just trying to help you guys. I just hope I don't hold you back."

Nie Chubai was unhappy: "Why don't you ask me to teach you?"

"Okay, then you can teach me your Sky-Slaying Sword Technique." Wen Yingxue thought about it and immediately agreed.

Then, Nie Chubai pinched Wen Yingxue's cheek and said, "You haven't even learned to walk yet, and you're already thinking about jumping? Did you know that the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique requires a strong internal force to support it?"

Wen Yingxue slapped Nie Chubai's hand away: "Why do you always pinch my face, and only on one side? Then the left and right sides will be asymmetrical."

"Well, I prove that what the lady said is right. It's not just the face, the breasts are the same. If you keep rubbing one side, the size will be different." Guan Ziming interrupted.

"Shut up!"

Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai said to Guan Ziming at the same time. Guan Ziming felt very aggrieved and moved to Ji Yan to seek comfort, but was discouraged by Ji Yan's big eye roll.

Wu Nan said, "Are you stupid? Haven't you heard the saying among the people? Don't interfere in the affairs of husband and wife."

"That's right, why are you butting in on things that have nothing to do? You're the only one who has a mouth! You're the only one who can talk!" Zi Su also said.

"Woo woo! They are all bad guys!" Guan Ziming hugged himself weakly, helpless and pitifully.

He had only spoken a few words from a doctor's perspective, and yet he was being bullied like this. What had he done wrong?

Wen Yingxue argued seriously with Nie Chubai: "I just want to learn some moves, just treat it as sword dancing."

Nie Chubai thought for a moment and handed the box of Torrential Pear Blossom Needles to Wen Yingxue. "The previous one has been used up, so this is the new one I prepared for you. It can be activated three times. Your worries are not unreasonable, keep it well."

Seeing Wen Yingxue put it away, Nie Chubai pulled Wen Yingxue up and left.

"Where are you going?" Wen Yingxue asked.

"I'll teach you the Sky-Slaying Sword Technique. I thought about it and decided that relying solely on external force isn't enough. Since you want to learn, I'll teach you well," Nie Chubai said.

Nie Chubai found an open space, picked up a branch to use as a sword, turned around and looked at Wen Yingxue, and said, "Watch carefully, I will demonstrate it to you first, and you can learn slowly."

"This is the first move of the Sky-Slaying Sword Technique." Looking at the rustling sound of the branch in Nie Chubai's hand, Wen Yingxue learned it seriously.

At first, Nie Chubai thought that Wen Yingxue would not be able to hold on for long, but after practicing for more than an hour, Wen Yingxue was still waving the branch in her hand seriously.

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Nie Chubai saw that Wen Yingxue's wrist was shaking a little, so he quickly stopped her.

"How am I doing in my studies?" Wen Yingxue asked.

"Very good." Nie Chubai didn't lie. Wen Yingxue was a very fast learner. Even though she only learned a few weak moves, it was already very good that she could remember the first one in such a short time.

Wen Yingxue chuckled twice: "It seems that I am still very talented."

Nie Chubai nodded seriously. He was very talented, but it was a pity that he was too old. Otherwise, he would definitely be a master in the future.

"Come on, let's go back. We need to apply some medicine to your wrist, otherwise you might not be able to lift it up tomorrow."

Wen Yingxue lowered her head and turned her wrist, and immediately felt sore and numb. She hadn't felt it when she was immersed in practicing sword skills just now, but now that she paid attention, Wen Yingxue immediately felt a little dizzy, and she quickly nodded.

"Madam, you are back? Come over and eat the roast chicken, it smells so good." Zi Su said quickly when she saw Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai coming back.

Wen Yingxue also felt hungry and nodded immediately.

I have to say that Ji Yan’s barbecue skills are really amazing, and Wen Yingxue enjoyed the meal very much.

Wen Yingxue had a very fulfilling journey afterwards. During the day, she learned how to use daggers and hidden weapons from Zi Su in the carriage. At night and in the morning, she learned the Sky-Slaying Sword Technique from Nie Chubai.
