Shen Qianxue pursed her lips slightly, her heart beating a little faster, but she couldn't help but laugh at Su Jinxia's appearance, feeling utterly helpless.
With her wish fulfilled, Su Jinxia gradually calmed down and became drowsy.
Shen Qianxue took off her shoes, tucked in the blanket, and was about to leave when she discovered that Su Jinxia had somehow grabbed the hem of her clothes.
She seemed to sense that Shen Qianxue was about to leave. Her brows suddenly furrowed, her eyes darted nervously beneath her eyelids, and she murmured, "I don't blame you... Don't go... Don't let me go..."
Shen Qianxue couldn't help but poke Su Jinxia's slightly chubby cheeks and said reproachfully, "I haven't even blamed you yet, and you're already trying to blame me."
In the middle of the night, Su Jinxia fell into a deep sleep and relaxed. Only then did Shen Qianxue pull away the hem of her clothes and return to her own courtyard.
The next day, Su Jin had a splitting headache, a dry mouth, and her eyes were swollen. She was in a daze.
Shen Yun brought over some hangover soup.
After drinking it, Su Jin felt a little better and recovered.
"I don't know why some people like to drink. It's really annoying," Su Jin complained plaintively.
"A little drink is pleasant, but too much is harmful. Perhaps the young lady drank too much. She was completely out of her mind last night and beat that fat man so badly that he was skinned alive. She was quite formidable," Shen Yun said with great satisfaction.
Team Nine is a mixed bag, with some people harboring ulterior motives. After Su Jinxia's outburst, Shen Qianxue severely punished those people, and things will get much better in the future.
Su Jin looked completely bewildered. "What fat guy?"
Shen Yun smiled and said, "Have you forgotten, young lady?"
Su Jin tilted her head, looking confused.
So, Shen Yun helped Su Jin recall the commotion of yesterday, and said that Shen Qianxue stayed in her room until midnight before leaving.
Su Jin looked at her clothes silently. They were very neat. What was she doing, leaving so late at night?
Suddenly, Su Jin stood up in shock, "Did I do something to Shen Qianxue?"
For a moment, many indescribable possibilities flashed through Su Jin's mind, but she couldn't recall a single real fragment.
She had no memory of anything after leaving the table; she had absolutely no recollection of it.
Su Jinxia burst into tears, clutching her head, "It's all over! How am I going to face anyone now!"
After breakfast, Su Jin stayed in her room and didn't go out, intending to hide for a few days until everyone forgot about the incident before showing herself.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qianxue sent someone to invite her over.
Four words popped into Su Jin's mind: "Settling scores later."
After dawdling for a while, Su Jin finally arrived at Shen Qianxue's house.
Shen Qianxue wasn't in the study; instead, she was practicing swordsmanship in a smart black martial arts outfit. The outfit was embroidered with intricate dragons in gold and silver threads, and with the powerful sword intent, the dragons seemed to come alive, soaring into the sky and flying freely.
He was less aloof than before, and instead possessed the commanding presence of a general who had once dominated the battlefield in his past life.
Su Jin was so engrossed in watching that she didn't come to her senses until Shen Qianxue sheathed her sword. She quickly clapped and praised her without reservation.
"Exquisite swordsmanship, boundless sword intent, so impressive!"
Su Jin leaned closer, patted Shen Qianxue's arm, and asked ingratiatingly, "What's the name of your sword technique? Can you teach me?"
Shen Qianxue brushed Su Jin's hand away, refusing her overtures, and said calmly, "There is no sword technique, no name. When you reach a certain level, you will understand that the way of the sword is the same for all paths, and it resides in the heart."
Su Jin tilted her head. She hadn't reached that level yet, so she couldn't really understand.
Shen Qianxue tossed the sword to Su Jinxia, "Did you remember that last move?"
Su Jin nodded, of course she remembered.
Shen Qianxue sat down on the stone bench and said calmly, "You do it."
Su Jin did as instructed, standing on one leg, raising the other, bending down so that her leg was level with her body, like a little swallow, and then swung her sword.
It's very simple.
Su Jin felt she had done a perfect job, and just as she was about to turn around, Shen Qianxue said calmly, "Keep it up."
Su Jin's lower body stiffened for a moment. This movement was difficult to balance, much harder than a horse stance. How could she maintain it?
"How long... do you want to hold it?" Su Jin asked tentatively.
"Stop when I say stop," Shen Qianxue replied domineeringly.
Su Jin glanced at Shen Qianxue and saw that his expression was cold, clearly intentional.
Su Jin sighed: What's meant to happen will happen.
After holding on for a few breaths, Su Jin lost her footing and her knees bent slightly.
Suddenly, a peanut flew over and hit Su Jinxia's leg.
It hurts quite a bit.
Su Jin looked at the instigator with a mournful expression.
Shen Qianxue remained unmoved and coldly said, "The movements must be standard."
As he spoke, he weighed the peanuts in his hand.
Su Jin down...
Why are they still resorting to corporal punishment?
Soon, Su Jin was drenched in sweat, her whole body was trembling, and she had been hit by peanuts many times.
But the other party showed no sign of giving up.
Su Jin had no choice but to beg for forgiveness, "I was wrong..."
"What's wrong?"
Su Jin down...
I don't remember doing anything.
Su Jin tentatively asked, "Did I say anything bad to you? Or did I do anything to you?"
Shen Qianxue's eyes darkened slightly, as if she were getting even angrier.
Su Jin quickly asked again, "Did I take your clothes off? How far have we gotten?"
After all, the most common dream is about taking off clothes; it's unlikely to involve anything more indecent.
Shen Qianxue hit Su Jin's forearm with a peanut and shouted angrily, "Raise your sword!"
What nonsense are you spouting? You haven't recognized your mistake at all!
