Baili Wanwan's swordplay was swift and smooth; although it couldn't compare to the masters, it was already quite impressive in the eyes of outsiders.
Wan Yuekui happened to be an outsider in that field.
Now, the way he looks at Baili Wanwan has a hint of reverence in his eyes.
As a man, who hasn't longed for martial arts and swordsmanship? Wan Yuekui struggled for a moment, and despite some embarrassment, turned back to Xiao Qi and said:
"Could you teach me this sword technique?"
Xiao Qi wanted to refuse immediately.
However, Wan Yuekui probably anticipated being rejected, and after finishing his sentence, he added:
“Wanwan is just a young girl, coming to your place before dawn every day. If people see her, she will inevitably be criticized. It’s better for both of our families if I come along.”
His words were reasonable and well-founded, which directly made Xiao Qi waver.
Although he now knows he is engaged to Baili Wanwan, he still doesn't want the idle women in the village to gossip.
So after only a moment's thought, he nodded again: "Of course."
Seeing that he had agreed, Wan Yuekui breathed a sigh of relief and felt a surge of joy.
Baili Wanwan was also happy, smiling sweetly: "From now on, brother will be with Wanwan!"
Having said that, he grabbed Wan Yuekui's sleeve and pulled him directly to the center of the courtyard.
"Huh? Starting today?"
Wan Yuekui was stunned, not expecting it to happen so quickly.
However, Xiao Qi suddenly grinned mischievously and nodded, "The matter of learning martial arts cannot be delayed even for a day. Besides, the earlier you start learning, the better. You are already late now, so it is even more inconvenient to postpone it any longer."
After saying that, he walked directly behind Wan Yuekui.
She placed her hands on his shoulders and pressed hard.
"Wanwan, demonstrate the horse stance for your older brother!"
After he finished speaking, Baili Wanwan responded to me in a crisp voice.
He ran up to Wan Yuekui, squatted down, clenched his fists and placed them on his waist, and immediately assumed a perfect horse stance.
Wan Yuekui was dumbfounded.
The horse stance looks simple, but it's actually difficult to do!
He clearly understood what to do, but his legs seemed to have a mind of their own. He could stand still for a while, but then they would bend, and then straighten...
One by one, their flaws were exposed, and then they were gently tapped by Xiao Qi's small ruler, forcing them to correct their mistakes.
"Hiss... how long do I have to squat here?"
Wan Yuekui felt his legs trembling, shouting that he had reached his limit. Sweat was pouring down his forehead, almost dripping into his eyes.
However, Xiao Qi remained on the sidelines and did not call for a stop.
"Wanwan squatted for an hour today."
An hour?
Wan Yuekui was almost screaming in surprise.
He did know that Baili Wanwan had exceptional physical talent, but he hadn't expected her to be so amazing.
You should know that he was already on the verge of collapse the moment he squatted down!
He was silent for a while, watching Baili Wanwan's lively swordsmanship, and asked with some longing, "How many days do I have to stand before I can learn swordsmanship?"
"Hmm..." Xiao Qi suddenly trailed off with a nasal tone, as if keeping someone in suspense, before revealing a mischievous smile, "I'll have to wait until you've squatted for a full hour."
Seeing Wan Yuekui's face turn liver-colored, he deliberately added, "Don't worry, a normal person can get it in a year, and a less intelligent person can get it in two or three years."
A year?
Wan Yuekui looked at Xiao Qi with disbelief in his eyes.
Xiao Qi, however, seemed not to notice and patted him on the shoulder: "You keep going here, I'll go teach you the Wanwan Sword Technique. Once you've completed your allotted time, come back and learn with us."
Having said that, he waved his sleeves and walked towards Bailiwanwan.
Although his expression remained indifferent, Wan Yuekui could still detect a hint of cheerfulness and happiness on his face!
The thought of Xiao Qi and Baili Wanwan practicing swordsmanship over there while I was stuck in a horse stance made me feel incredibly sad.
This kind of life may continue for another year!
Wan Yuekui felt that none of his organs—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—were comfortable. A thought flashed through his mind, and he realized that Xiao Qi was definitely setting him up.
Let's trap him here and leave him alone with Baili Wanwan!
"You little brat, you actually schemed against me!"
Wan Yuekui gritted his teeth in hatred. Looking at Xiao Qi's retreating figure, he couldn't help but say, "How dare you covet my most precious sister! You just wait!"
However, his arrogance did not last long.
Before long, he could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground.
Because she was so tired, even when Baili Wanwan went to the private school with Xiao Qi, she didn't say she would come along.
Wildflowers and colorful butterflies fluttered along the road.
This reminded Baili Wanwan of the little hair accessory Xiao Qi had given her before, and she couldn't help but touch her head.
I felt a little disappointed when I remembered that I had forgotten to bring my martial arts supplies when I practiced this morning.
While he was standing there in a daze, he didn't even notice someone coming towards him and bumped into the person's stomach without any warning.
The next second, Xiao Qi pulled her back a few steps.
Baili Wanwan rubbed her nose before she could see who it was: "Uncle He Yong?"
He Yong had run all the way here, so his forehead was covered in sweat. When he saw Baili Wanwan, it was as if he had been rescued; even a fool could tell from his eager expression that he wanted something.
Xiao Qi stepped forward cautiously, half of his body blocking Baili Wanwan's path, clearly showing his protective intent.
"You've come so early in the morning, is there something you need?"
Xiao Qi always maintained a cold and aloof demeanor in front of anyone except Baili Wanwan. Although he was only six years old, he already possessed an aura that inspired fear in others.
He Yong was startled and looked at Xiao Qi with difficulty: "I have to tell Wanwan about this."
This means that Xiao Qi cannot listen.
"no."
Without saying a word, Xiao Qi resolutely refused.
Baili Wanwan could rarely detect Xiao Qi's anger in his tone. Although she didn't know why, she still tilted her head and said in a daze:
"Uncle He Yong is a very good person."
"That's fine too..."
Xiao Qi still wanted to refuse, but suddenly reason returned, and he realized that he could not guard against everyone in the village.
He had no choice but to shut up and looked at Baili Wanwan, saying, "Then I'll go to the private school first. Come back when you're done. I'll ask the teacher for leave for you first."
"OK!"
Upon hearing that she was taking leave, Baili Wanwan immediately beamed with joy.
Not having to read books is just too wonderful!
"You lazybones!"
Xiao Qi saw through Baili Wanwan's thoughts, said something helplessly, and then left first as agreed.
After he left, He Yongcai, who hadn't dared to utter a sound, frowned and said with a troubled expression, "Little Wanwan, we can't even catch fish in the deepest part of the sea. The two restaurants in the county town can't keep up with the fish they order every day, and now they want me to lose money!"
"There are no more fish?"
Baili Wanwan looked shocked upon hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, she decisively said, "Then I'll go home and find my aunt, and we'll go to the beach together to see where all the little fish have gone!"
