Chapter 68: Xu Nian's martial arts weapon "Bracelet"
The next day, Wang Pingting came to Qingteng Courtyard early and brought her precious spear. She said to Xu Nianxian: "You don't know how many conditions I promised my mother in order to bring it here. You have to compensate me."
Xu Nian said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll give you whatever compensation you want. Then Sister Wang, please show me how to sling a gun first, so that we can admire your heroic figure, Miss Wang."
Wang Pingting was also not vague. The spear flashed a silver light in the air, and she turned beautifully to hold the spear in her hand. Her spear skills were flexible and free. Although she was a woman, she did not feel soft at all. On the contrary, it was very sharp and powerful. Several times, Xu Nian could even hear the sound of breaking wind.
After performing a set of shooting techniques, Xu Nian saw that Wang Pingting was even breathing slightly, without a drop of sweat, and he was even more impressed. He wondered how many cold and hot years it would take for her to practice such skillful shooting techniques.
"Sister Wang is so amazing. She is just as capable as any man."
Wang Pingting waved her hands, "I am just playing a small game. If you are talking about spears, you have to look at Prince Zhenbei. My father said that Prince Zhenbei has superb spear skills and can kill enemies on the battlefield without leaving any trace. My father is not even 20% as good as Prince Zhenbei, let alone me who is not as good as my father.
Oh, I wish I could see the prince demonstrate his gun skills with my own eyes someday."
“Ahem…”
Yun Renren, who walked into Qingteng Courtyard, felt a headache when he saw Wang Pingting holding a spear. He hoped that she would not follow in Sister Qin's footsteps.
But the more you fear something, the more it will come.
"Ms. Wang, your hands are in the wrong place."
"Ms. Wang, you don't have to take such big steps."
"Ms. Wang, please stop looking around."
"Miss Wang..."
As happy as Wang Pingting was when she was playing with the gun just now, she is as depressed now. It's just a step, why are there so many rules?
Xu Nian tried hard to reduce her presence and avoid that resentful look. She was really helpless.
The morning class finally ended. Wang Pingting chewed the food in her mouth fiercely while looking at Xu Nian with a smile.
Xu Nian paused as she stretched out her chopsticks. Why did she feel a chill on her back?
"Sister Xu, I think you have a unique talent and are a martial arts genius. How about I teach you martial arts starting tomorrow?"
Xu Nian swallowed his saliva and said with a smile, "Sister, you are right. I suddenly remembered that a master told me to stay away from knives, guns, sticks and clubs. It seems that I can't learn martial arts."
“Hehe~”
“Hehe~”
"Don't worry, I won't let my sister touch knives, guns, or sticks."
Xu Nian was a little worried. She felt that Wang Pingting was a little crazy and vowed to drag someone along to suffer with her.
Sure enough, from the next day on, when Wang Pingting was practicing etiquette, Xu Nian would stand in horse stance beside her. The longer Wang Pingting practiced etiquette, the longer Xu Nian would stand in horse stance.
Moreover, Wang Pingting actually remembered Xu Nian's nonsense. She had no knives, guns, sticks or anything like that, but she actually put a basin of water under Xu Nian's crotch, and as long as the posture was not standard, Xu Nian would shamefully "pee his pants".
However, within just a few days, the resentment had shifted to Xu Nian. She really didn't expect that Wang Pingting was such a vicious girl. She could come up with such a murderous and heartbreaking trick. She didn't know who she learned it from.
Wang Pingting, who was in high spirits, made rapid progress and even had spare time from time to time to correct Xu Nian's movements.
This kind of life lasted for half a month, and Xu Nian also went from being able to last for one stick of incense at the beginning to being able to last for half an hour now.
Although Wang Pingting's action was somewhat funny, she really wanted to teach Xu Nian martial arts. Xu Nian was not a quiet person like her and was always running out.
Although Xu Nian was always followed by someone whenever she went out, they were all weak women after all, and Wang Pingting did not want to admit that she was wary of Shen Yan.
After Xu Nian finally freed her legs from the horse stance, she started to swing the satin. In Wang Pingting's words, she would have mastered the skill when the soft satin could shoot out like a knife.
"Here~ Don't say I'm not nice to you, open it and take a look."
Xu Nian looked at the wooden box in Wang Pingting's hand and opened it curiously, only to see a winding bracelet with a very unique style. Just as she was about to try it on, Wang Pingting slapped her hand away.
Wang Pingting took out the bracelet and swung it hard. It turned into an extremely thin wire similar to a whip. The leaves in the yard were easily split in two by the swing, which showed how sharp it was.
"When I first learned martial arts, my father asked me to choose between two weapons. I chose the spear. Now this one is yours."
Xu Nian took it carefully and was deeply moved. She believed that this "bracelet" must be very precious to Wang Pingting.
From that day on, this "bracelet" never left Xu Nian's wrist.
"Sister Wang, I will definitely study hard in the future and never slack off again."
Wang Pingting tried to hold back her laughter. She was not blind and could see that she was being lazy. It was just that Xu Nian practiced martial arts for self-defense. There was no need to be too harsh on her.
"By the way, I can't come for the recent period of time. You must practice for half an hour every day without interruption, otherwise all the hard work you have endured before will be in vain."
Wang Pingting said again and again with concern.
"Sister Wang, what can I do for you?"
"My grandmother's 60th birthday is coming up soon, and my mother and I have to go to pay our respects, so we will be delayed for a while."
"So when will Sister Wang leave? I will also prepare a birthday gift for my grandmother."
Xu Nian's words were not polite. She really liked Wang Pingting and was sincerely grateful to her, so she should prepare a gift for the old lady.
Wang Pingting was not polite and said bluntly: "My grandmother worships Buddha every day, so you can send her something related to this."
Xu Nian agreed readily.
Because Wang Pingting was leaving the day after tomorrow, Xu Nian didn't have time to make something complicated like a Buddha statue, so she planned to make a "set of pendants", a kind of ornament similar to the Jinbu.
The pattern uses the three-dimensional rope weaving of the lotus stand, and is embellished with a pearl at the bottom, which is both Zen and stylish.
It took Xu Nian one night and half a day to finish it. He put it in a wooden box and asked Xiu'er to find someone to deliver it.
And knowing that Wang Pingting would be sitting in a carriage for several days, Xu Nian asked the kitchen to make her several different flavors of jerky. Because most of the spices came from Xu Nian's space, the aroma spread far away before they were even cooked.
Xu Ling followed the smell and found the dried meat, her eyes shining. Xu Nian found it funny and had to leave a pack for her.
Wang Pingting was so happy when she received the gifts that she took the package and went to show off to her parents.
General Wang Qian sniffed the aroma of the dried meat and thought it was very suitable for drinking. He discussed with Wang Pingting to give him half of it. However, after hearing this, Wang Pingting ran away, causing Madam Guan to laugh at him.
