Chapter 297 Kicked Out
In Ruihe Hall, Jiang Rumin and Shangguan Qi looked at each other for a moment, then turned and winked at Yingchun.
Yingchun understood and left with Shaoyao, leaving the backyard to the two of them.
"Have you...already had an idea?" she asked Shangguan Qi.
"Yes." Shangguan Qi walked up to her and said, "Do you believe me?"
Jiang Rumin did not answer directly, but only said: "If I enter the government, it will be impossible for me to leave Tianqi Country in this life."
Although she had already made it clear to him, she was always worried that he would still hold on to the hope of taking her away.
She is not a wooden woman, so she can clearly see Shangguan Qi's feelings for her.
She knew in her heart that as long as she nodded, she could become Princess Qi of Beichen Kingdom.
But she didn't want to choose this path, so on the anniversary of her mother's death, she told him directly that she thought that from that day on, she would probably no longer have any contact with him.
But she really didn't expect that he would appear here today and give her advice on participating in the selection conference.
It would be of no use to him if she won a competition.
"I know." Shangguan Qi smiled, "I know you won't leave Tianqi Country. You have your ambitions. If I can help you, even if you and I are not destined to be together, you will definitely remember... that you once had a confidant like me, right?"
Jiang Rumin remained silent.
She was seldom at a loss for words.
"Rumin, this question is not difficult to answer."
"I'm not Jun Tianyi. I won't keep you by my side just because I have you in my heart."
"I did think about it before. If you come back to Beichen with me, I will treat you well. But you don't want to, so I can't force you. Maybe for you, a man's promise is not important at all, because you have fought for your life now, and you don't need to rely on anyone to live. You can reject my affection, but please believe that I really hope you will get better and better."
"I admire your talent. I may not be able to help you with other competitions, but I think I can help you with this piano test. Trust me."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Rumin hopefully.
Jiang Rumin also looked at him and asked, "Where are you going to practice? Have you found a place?"
Shangguan Qi was delighted when he heard this.
She was still willing to believe him.
"I have indeed found a good place. If you are free now, I will take you to have a look."
…
In the courtyard of Prince Ning's Mansion, sword lights flickered.
Two figures, one black and one purple, kept changing in the air. After about dozens of rounds, the black figure fell to the ground and let out a cry of pain.
"Why do you all want to pick on my buttocks? I got kicked twice in one afternoon. Have I provoked you recently?"
Chu Yuni rubbed her buttocks that were hurt by the kick and turned to glare at Zhong Nanyue.
Zhong Nanyan looked at him expressionlessly. "The flesh behind the buttocks is relatively thick. It will hurt if you kick it, but you won't get hurt. If the same force is kicked on the chest or legs, you will probably have to stay in bed for several days."
"Then why can't you be a little more gentle? I'm your sparring partner, not your enemy!"
"If we want to simulate a real fight, we can't be too lenient. No one will be willing to show mercy on the day of the martial arts test. If I don't take it seriously, I'm afraid there's no hope of winning the championship."
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you about this. Then find someone else to fight with you. Miss Hu and the others should be happy to do so. Don't they also have to participate in the martial arts test?"
Chu Yuni was somewhat reluctant to be Zhong Nanyue's sparring partner anymore.
It's not that he was lazy, but Zhong Nanyue was very harsh on him. He was afraid that if he continued to practice like this, he would really have to lie in bed.
"Si Niang and the others are no match for me. They are good at using poison. Brother Song said that the martial arts test of the Selection Conference is a serious competition. It is forbidden to use sneak attacks. If you use poison or hidden weapons to sneak attack your opponent, you will be expelled. So there is no need for me to spar with them. But you... are better at fighting than them, so naturally you have to spar with me."
Chu Yuni twitched the corners of her lips.
What is this called...
I remember that His Royal Highness Prince Ning said that the rank of the champion of the martial arts test would not be too low, at least the sixth rank. If Zhong Nanyue really has the ability to win one, she will definitely show off in front of him first.
Not only would he have to serve as her sparring partner, but he might also be ridiculed by her repeatedly in the future.
There was no benefit in doing this.
But if I don't give her a sparring partner... Oh, how does the saying go, good things should be kept within the family? Of course, it's better to give good things to your own people. Zhong Nanyan is from Prince Ning's mansion. If she does well, His Highness will also have face.
So... thinking about it carefully, he still hoped that she would strive for excellence.
At worst, I can just stay away from her in the future so that I won’t be laughed at by her all the time.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuni gritted her teeth and said, "Come again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Nanyue attacked without hesitation.
When Song Yunchu came back, he saw the two men fighting.
She smiled calmly, then walked to the table and sat down, watching the game calmly.
Zhong Nanyue is faster than Chu Yuni, and if she has weapons, Zhong Nanyue will be even better.
However, weapons are not always available during the martial arts test. There is also a type of martial arts test where one has to fight with fists and feet without any weapons.
Song Yunchu stopped the two of them.
"Nan Yan, your swordsmanship is better than Xiao Chu's. If he fights you, he will only get beaten. Now throw away the swords in your hands and fight me with bare hands."
Upon hearing this, the two men dropped their weapons.
Zhong Nanyue didn't think she would be at a disadvantage at first, but when they really started fighting, she found that Chu Yuni's arm strength was really strong.
When she had weapons, she could try to keep a distance and prevent Chu Yuni from getting close to her. But now that she had no weapons, and the fight was full of punches, she was forced to retreat.
Zhong Nanyue felt a sense of crisis, but Chu Yuni was proud.
In fact, before this, he had never fought with her. After all, when he brought her out of Medicine King Valley, he said that he would treat her well and would accept being bullied.
Today, as her sparring partner, when the fight really started, I found that I could have the upper hand in boxing and kicking.
Zhong Nanyue had cold sweat on her forehead. She barely avoided Chu Yuni's punch and almost fell down.
Chu Yuni wanted to press on and attack her, but when she saw that her face wasn't looking good, she softened her heart and slowed down her movements.
Seeing this, Zhong Nanyue's eyes flashed and she quickly kicked him out!
