Jiang's mother exclaimed, "This place is quite nice."
Nestled in the mountains, the environment is beautiful. There is less noise and less conflict, and more tranquility.
Father Jiang remained silent, completely absorbed in the faint fragrance of the medicine.
He felt that no matter how nice a farmhouse was, it was still inconvenient for an official like him to come and go.
Qiu Yan woke up early in the morning and, as usual, took her younger sister's hand and taught her some moves to improve her health.
Qiu Ling'er now performs a set of military boxing techniques exceptionally well, and even Gu Qian, who was quietly watching from a distance, secretly praised her.
"Yan Yan, you're up so early." Gu Qian approached and helped Qiu Ling'er up, supporting her unsteady body.
Yesterday's journey was tiring, and his daughter Yan Yan didn't get a moment's rest.
"It's getting late." Qiu Yan's biological clock wouldn't allow her to oversleep.
Qiu Ling'er wanted to sleep a little longer, but her sister wouldn't allow it.
If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old. My sister is afraid that she'll be bullied when she grows up.
When Gu Xiaoran woke up in the morning, she heard her father and mother talking in the next courtyard and thought she was dreaming.
He rushed out without even getting dressed, and was immediately blocked by Zhu Juan as soon as he ran out of the house.
Zhu Juan looked at the furry child, who was only wearing underwear, and carried him to the bedroom.
When she came out again, Gu Xiaoran hurriedly said to Madam Ye in the courtyard, "Madam, I'm going to find Father and Mother."
He ran out of the yard.
After hearing this, Ye shook her head with a smile, "This brat can never be truly tamed."
No matter how good she was to Gu Xiaoran, it was far less than the importance Qiu Yan and Gu Qian held in Xiaoran's heart.
Qiu Yan glanced at the sky; it was around 5 AM.
She let her younger sister practice on her own, while she took Gu Qian for a stroll near the mountain.
"Daddy, Mommy, when did you come back? Wait for Xiaoran..." Gu Xiaoran chased after him. Seeing this, Gu Qian turned around and took his little hand.
When Gu Xiaoran saw Qiu Yan, she couldn't help but complain, "Mother, you have to take Xiaoran with you wherever you go from now on."
He was unhappy because Qiu Yan went to Huaiyuan without taking him with her, but his dissatisfaction disappeared after seeing Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan smiled and said, "When you grow up, you can go wherever you want."
Gu Xiaoran tilted her head, disagreeing with Qiu Yan's statement, "I'm all grown up now."
Gu Qian thought Qiu Yan wanted to spend more time with him, but when they reached the foot of a mountain, Qiu Yan said, "Gu Qian, I see that you have excellent lightness skills. Teach me a couple of moves."
"OK."
Gu Qian raised an eyebrow and readily agreed. "But Yan Yan, lightness skill is complicated, arduous, and not easy to master. Are you really willing to learn it?"
"Yes." Qiu Yan wasn't afraid of hard work.
"Before learning lightness skills, practice martial arts first." After saying this, Gu Qian broke off a dead tree branch and displayed a perfect set of moves in the mountains and forests.
Gu Xiaoran also held a dry twig and gestured with it, looking extremely serious.
However, due to his young age, many of his movements were not performed correctly.
Seeing Zhu Juan chasing after her breathlessly, Gu Xiaoran made a face at her and ran off into the distant woods.
"Young master, don't run away, wait for me."
"Aunt Zhu, please stop following me around."
Gu Qian's moves were fluid and powerful.
Qiu Yan joined in, gesturing with her hands.
To ensure Qiu Yan could clearly see the moves, Gu Qian demonstrated them slowly and methodically, each move perfectly executed.
Qiu Yan herself had a foundation in boxing, and she was able to keep up with the whole set.
This greatly surprised Gu Qian. He never expected that his daughter, Yan Yan, would have such excellent comprehension in martial arts.
Qiu Yan started off a bit clumsy, but within a morning she had memorized some of the moves.
