Chapter 218 Mother-in-law's Help
After teaching his wife swordsmanship for a while, Li Nuo went aside to rest.
Su Qing's mind was full of the sword skills he had just used. He was itching to practice and was fidgeting, so he paced around the table.
Seeing Li Nuo coming over, she forced herself to calm down, slowly sat down, picked up the teacup, and gently took a sip of the tea that Li Nuo had just poured.
Li Nuo was drinking tea by himself. At a certain moment, his mother-in-law suddenly said, "You have a talent for swordsmanship, but you don't have the talent for cultivation. What a pity. Did you learn those swordsmanship techniques by yourself?"
Although when she spoke, her eyes were looking into the air, it seemed more like she was talking to herself.
But this was also the first serious sentence the two had spoken since they met.
Su Qing has been waiting for Li Nuo to apologize to her.
Unexpectedly, she was the one who took the initiative to break the ice in the end.
Li Nuo nodded and said, "I read a few books and figured it out on my own..."
Su Qing fell into a brief silence.
The words sounded light but were extremely humiliating.
She was hailed by her master as the greatest sword genius in the martial arts world in the past hundred years. After learning sword for more than thirty years, she was still not as good as he could be by reading books and figuring things out.
He could even easily improve upon her self-created sword technique, which she was so proud of.
When Su Qing was silent, Li Nuo said, "There is something I would like to ask my mother-in-law for help."
The Ministry of Rites wants to hold a martial arts conference, but the Ministry of Rites itself has nothing to do with martial arts. It would be best if an important martial arts sect could take the lead and cooperate.
The Sanqing Sect is undoubtedly the most suitable.
As the number one sect in Daxia, if the Sanqing Sect can take the lead and set an example, it will be easier to lead the teams below.
After listening to Li Nuo, Su Qing frowned and asked, "Martial Arts Conference? This is a matter of the martial arts world. What does it have to do with your court? Why are you holding a martial arts conference?"
The Sanqing Sect is the leader of the martial arts sects in Daxia. Every few years, it invites strong men from various sects to come and exchange ideas, which is called a martial arts conference.
This is also a symbol of identity and status.
Looking at the entire martial arts world, only the Sanqing Sect is qualified to hold a martial arts conference.
The sect holds martial arts conferences at irregular times. Sometimes they are held every two or three years, and sometimes every three to five years. The last martial arts conference was four years ago.
The Sanqing Sect needs the help of the martial arts conference to consolidate its position in the martial arts world.
Come to think of it, the next martial arts tournament is about to be held.
In this case, there is even less need for the Great Xia court to hold a martial arts conference.
She is a disciple of the Sanqing Sect, so of course she has to put the interests of the sect first.
Su Qing shook his head and said, "This is a matter of the Jianghu, and has nothing to do with your court. I can't help you."
The request was rejected and Li Nuo didn't say much.
After resting for a while, he walked to Yiren and began to teach her the sword technique.
Su Qing stared at Li Nuo intently, but every time he taught him the sword moves, he would stop to rest.
Once or twice would be fine, but she stopped at the most critical moment again and again. She felt that enlightenment was within her reach, but she couldn't reach it. She was almost dying of anxiety...
Bang!
When Li Nuo sat opposite her to rest again, Su Qing slapped her palm on the table and said through gritted teeth: "I will go back to the sect to ask for you about that matter!"
Although she is a disciple of the Sanqing Sect, she is also the mother of a beautiful woman.
It was difficult for her to refuse since her son-in-law asked her for something.
Li Nuo poured her a new cup of tea and said with a smile, "Thank you, mother-in-law."
He walked back to his wife and continued to teach her the sword technique.
This time, he did not stop at the critical moment, and fully demonstrated the improved set of swordsmanship.
Although lighting up the portraits of those masters and gaining an understanding of swordsmanship that surpassed them consumed eight days of his life, this investment was nothing compared to the gains from making this happen.
Su Qing stared at Li Nuo without blinking, and after a long time, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally, there is no more feeling of being aroused and then coming to an abrupt end.
Although she had gotten what she wanted, she had no intention of going back on her word.
She had been planning to go back to the sect recently to arrange matters there.
While eating, she looked at Jia Ren and Yi Ren and said, "I will go back to the sect in two days."
Song Jiaren didn't say anything, but Song Yiren's face turned pale, and she dropped her chopsticks in fear, and she kept saying, "If you want to go back, go back by yourself. I won't go back. I want to stay in Chang'an!"
Su Qing glanced at her.
She didn't plan to take her either.
Where Yiren wants to stay is her own business. She is not like Yiren. She has a husband and must stay with her husband.
This time I will go to the sect and stay there for two days at most and then I will be back.
night.
Song Mansion.
After Song Zhe heard what his wife said, his face changed and he asked, "No, I won't let you go again!"
Seeing his nervous look, Su Qing was delighted and comforted him, "Don't worry, I came back to the sect this time because I have something to do. I have to tell Master and Senior Sister that I will be back soon..."
After hearing her say this, Song Zhe finally felt relieved.
At the same time, there was an inexplicable feeling of relief.
He held his wife's hand and asked, "When are you leaving?"
Su Qing said: "Let's go tomorrow morning. The earlier we go, the earlier we can come back."
From Chang'an to Sanqing Sect, with her master's speed, it would take at least five days to go back and forth, including the time for stopping along the way.
The couple finally reunited, but they had to separate again for five days. They looked at each other, Su Qing gently raised her hand, and the lights in the room suddenly went out.
Outside the window, dark clouds covered the moon, and unknown insects were hiding in the grass and chirping randomly...
…
Sanqing Sect.
Yuhua Peak.
An old woman walked into a hall on the top of the mountain. She saw a familiar figure and was slightly stunned. Then she smiled and said, "Junior sister, when did you come back?"
Su Qing said: "I just came back a while ago."
The old woman asked, "Have you found your beloved?"
Su Qing nodded.
The old woman said with emotion: "This girl is just as willful as you were back then. Where is she? I haven't seen this girl for a long time. I really miss her."
Su Qing said: "She is in Chang'an."
The old woman was startled and asked, "You didn't bring her back?"
Su Qing said: "If she doesn't want to come back, let her stay in Chang'an. I can control her for a while, but not for the rest of her life. Even if I catch her, she will run away next time."
The old woman looked at Su Qing with a strange look in her eyes.
She watched her junior sister grow up and was very familiar with her personality.
How come after going to Chang'an, she seemed like a different person? Not only did her tone of voice become gentler, but even her face became much kinder. It was really hard for her to believe that this was the junior sister she knew.
What made her even more unbelievable was that her junior sister, who had been very strict with Yiren since childhood, could actually say such tolerant words.
After a long while, she recovered from her surprise and said, "You're back just in time. This year's martial arts conference will be held soon, and there are some things that still require your decision."
Although my junior sister is the youngest, she has the highest talent and understanding. My master is training her to be the next leader of the Shangqing lineage.
Su Qing said: "I came back this time for this matter. Where is Master? I have something to ask you."
After a while, she walked through the hall and came to a small courtyard behind it.
Compared with other magnificent buildings in the sect, the small courtyard seemed rather simple, with only two thatched cottages and a vegetable garden.
A figure is busy in the vegetable garden.
After entering the courtyard, Su Qing slowed down his pace, walked forward slowly, and said respectfully: "Master."
The figure pulled out a weed in the vegetable garden, and without looking back at her, he spoke softly, with some surprise in his tone, saying, "This time when I went out, my cultivation has improved a bit. Could it be that you have gained some new insights in the way of the sword?"
Su Qing smiled and said, "Master, nothing can be hidden from me. This time when I went to Chang'an, I met several sword masters from the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Tianshan Sect. I learned a lot from them and gained some insights..."
The figure walked out of the vegetable garden.
She was wearing an ordinary cloth dress and looked to be in her forties, but her eyes revealed an ageing look that was inconsistent with her appearance.
Su Qing followed her into a thatched cottage and said, "Master, I have something to ask for your help?"
The middle-aged woman said, "Go ahead."
Su Qing said: "The beauty has practiced the Jade Purity Heart Technique and is now married. I would like to ask Master to help her remove the coldness in her body so that she can live like an ordinary woman..."
The middle-aged woman looked back at her, frowned and asked, "Did you teach the Jade Purity Heart Technique to that child?"
The Jade Purity Heart Technique had been banned by the sect. Su Qing lowered her head, not daring to look at her, and whispered, "I was wrong."
The middle-aged woman frowned and said, "You've done more than just this one thing wrong. If you had listened to me back then, you wouldn't have married the wrong person, and none of these things would have happened later..."
Su Qing defended herself: "I didn't marry the wrong person."
The middle-aged woman looked at her, not knowing what to say to this traitor.
In the end, she could only helplessly say: "If she decides to give up martial arts, you bring her back to the sect, and I will help her."
Su Qing immediately said, "Thank you, Master!"
Then, she said, "Master, there is one more thing..."
The middle-aged woman said unhappily, “Speak!”
"The Great Xia court wants to hold a martial arts conference and invites our Sanqing Sect to participate."
"You two should discuss this matter among yourselves..."
…
After a while, Su Qing walked out of the yard and breathed a long sigh of relief.
She flew to another peak, where an old man was already waiting.
When Su Qing saw him, her brows slightly frowned.
The old man smiled and said, "Junior Sister Su, you're back..."
Su Qing asked, "Brother Chen, is there anything wrong?"
The old man smiled and said, "I came here to ask you about the marriage between Yiren and Chen Jian..."
Su Qing waved his hand and said, "The girl has been promised to someone else. Senior Brother Chen, don't mention this matter again."
After saying that, she strode away.
The old man stood there in a daze. His beloved was betrothed to someone else. When did this happen?
Not long after, Su Qing returned to his room and snorted disdainfully.
He can't play the piano, can't paint, can't write poetry, is not as handsome as others, and is a rough and crude warrior. Yet he wants to marry her daughter. It's simply wishful thinking!
