37 I am a useless person (Part 6)
◎Not a martial arts master◎
"Yuer, how is your learning of the Moon-Watching Sword Technique going?" Moon-Watching asked.
"Master, I have already mastered it." Bai Yu said confidently.
"Oh? You learned it so quickly? Then show me a set of sword techniques." Mochizuki was a little surprised.
"Okay, Master." Bai Yu answered obediently.
Martial Arts Training Ground
Wangyue looked at the young man dancing with a sword in the martial arts training ground, and his beard was almost falling off due to worry.
At this moment, he wanted to rush into the palace to ask, "Your Majesty, is this what you mean by extremely talented, rare talent in a century?"
Oh my god! I have been learning the most basic Mochizuki swordsmanship for almost two months, and I haven't even mastered the basics? How should I teach this?
But Wangyue did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on the surface. He was not sure whether this was a test from His Majesty.
Wangyue was also afraid, and after scolding Baiyu, Baiyu became dissatisfied and left the sect. After all, now the lives and property of the entire Wangyue Sect depended on Baiyu.
Alas... Your Majesty said that he is talented, so he must be talented. The highest level of deception is to deceive even yourself, Wangyue gave himself a hint.
Wangyue said: "Well, Yu'er, your Wangyue swordsmanship level is already 80% of what I was back then. You must keep working hard and don't let your natural talent go to waste." After saying that, he walked away with a staggering gait.
"Yes, Master." Bai Yu responded.
At this time, Bai Yu complained to the system in his heart: "52, Master, were you just mocking me? Isn't my talent useless?"
"Ayu, what good skills can such a small sect have? It's just the most basic boxing and kicking skills."
"Besides, the basics of martial arts in the world are interconnected. Have you forgotten that the original owner studied martial arts at home for so many years? Even the most useless one has some basic skills." System 52 said.
"52, what you said makes sense. So, in Master Wangyue's eyes, I am really a little genius now." Bai Yu was a little happy.
"Congratulations, A-Yu, you have come one step closer to the original owner's wish. Let us conquer the Moon Watching Sect first, and then continue to conquer the entire martial arts world, and finally become the leader of the martial arts world!" the system shouted.
"52 Stop teasing me. Don't you know how strong I am? Let's practice first." After saying this, Bai Yu started practicing in the martial arts field again.
At this time, behind the plum tree in the distance of the martial arts training ground, Wang Yue looked at Bai Yu who was practicing in the martial arts training ground again and nodded with satisfaction, "You are diligent and hardworking, and your martial arts skills are quite good."
Then he thought of his worrying martial arts talent again, and lowered his head and sighed: "Life is not satisfactory, eight out of ten times."
Late at night it was the familiar cabin again.
The moonstone lit the tinder and lit the oil lamp.
The fire flickered wildly along with the breeze outside the window.
Looking at the flame, Wangyue felt that his future was as uncertain as the candle.
"Master, how should we teach Third Junior Brother his martial arts?" Yueshi asked.
"Are all the most basic skills of our sect here?"
"Yes, Master, I went to the Kung Fu Transmission Pavilion this morning and sorted out all the skills. I got all the basic martial arts." Yueshi replied.
"Master, why don't we tell my junior brother directly?" Yueshi asked, "Every day after my junior brother finished practicing martial arts, I praised him. Seeing his happy face, I couldn't bear it. Master, aren't we fooling him?"
"Yueshi! This is not something you and I can decide! Didn't you already read the letter His Majesty sent us?"
"The letter said that Baiyu is very intelligent and gifted. Now you know Baiyu's situation."
"If that's the case, then why did Your Majesty say that? Don't you and I understand the deep meaning behind it?" Wangyue asked fiercely with cold eyes.
"But Master, my junior brother is innocent." Yue Hu couldn't help but speak.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Now that things have come to a point, we can only make up for him later. You two should help him in the future." Mochizuki sighed after hearing this.
Yuehu and Yueshi looked at each other and answered in unison: "Yes, Master, I understand."
"Okay, it's late, you should rest."
"Master, I will take my leave now."
"Um"
The wooden door rang, and Wangyue was the only one left in the room.
Looking at the mottled moonlight outside the window, Wangyue sighed: "Alas... looking at the moon... looking at the moon... in the end I can only look up at the moon, but I can never be as bright as the moon."
Early in the morning, Bai Yu opened the door and saw the second senior brother standing outside, holding a basin of water in his hand and a face towel on his shoulder.
Seeing Bai Yu coming out, he smiled and said, "Brother, you are awake. Come here, I have prepared some water for you to wash."
Bai Yu took it with a dazed look on his face.
The steamed buns for breakfast were delivered to Bai Yu personally by Master Wangyue; during the practice class, the eldest senior brother gently taught Bai Yu the key points of the martial arts; during the physical education class in the afternoon, Bai Yu was a little tired and only ran around Yueshan Mountain once, but the second senior brother, who was rare, did not scold him. Instead, he gently carried a stool and a water bottle over, and after Bai Yu was done, he took out a small palm-leaf fan from his sleeve and fanned Bai Yu himself to bring gusts of cool breeze.
The abnormal treatment of this day made Bai Yu feel like she was still asleep. Soaking in the water in the wooden barrel, Bai Yu patted her cheeks hard to wake herself up.
After washing up, Bai Yu saw braised pork, sweet and sour fish, braised prawns, and various cakes in front of him in the cafeteria, while there was only a bowl of thin rice soup in front of his master and two senior brothers.
Bai Yu was a little confused as to what festival it was today? There were actually delicious fish and meat.
Bai Yu sat down and pushed the food in front of the three people: "Master, Brother, I'm sorry you've been waiting for me for so long, come and have dinner with us."
Wangyue swallowed, then pushed the food back to Baiyun and said, "No, no, we've already eaten. These are all made for you, Yu'er. Eat quickly."
Huh? Bai Yu looked at his senior brother Yue Shi, who was drooling, and then looked at his second senior brother Yue Hu, who was staring at the red roast pork.
Is this really eaten?
As if he had seen through Bai Yu's doubts, Wang Yue drank the rice soup in the bowl in one gulp, then stood up and knocked on the heads of the two brothers: "Look at you sitting here, staring at your brother, he is embarrassed to eat, drink the rice quickly and go practice."
"Yes, Master." The two brothers quickly drank the rice soup in their hands, picked up the wooden swords placed by the door, and rushed to the martial arts training ground.
Wangyue and Xi said to Baiyu: "Yu'er, eat quickly, we are not in a hurry. Don't learn from your brothers who are so impetuous and unruly."
…
…
Under Wangyue's increasingly loving gaze, Baiyu finished the dinner with difficulty, then quickly fled back to the room.
"Help! Help! Help! Wu Er, I think Master and the others are abnormal!" Bai Yu said in horror.
"Ayu, there are no ghosts in this world, don't worry." System 52 comforted her.
"Did Master and the others go astray while practicing their martial arts and become possessed?" Bai Yu proposed another hypothesis.
"I don't know. You should pay more attention tomorrow." System 52 suggested.
late at night
The moonlight shone on the ground, as if sprinkling white frost. At this moment, in the silent Moon Watching Sect, there was a sudden sound of "bang, bang, bang" in the dining hall.
"One, one, bang, one, bang!"
Ouch, who was so careless to put the bench on the ground? Mochizuki, who accidentally tripped over the bench, cursed in a low voice.
"Master? Why are you here?" Yueshi asked when he heard the voice.
"Moonstone?"
A cough came from the corner: "Master, there's still me."
"Yue Hu? Why are you here too!" Wang Yue was shocked.
…
…
The moonlight shines through the window, onto three faces looking at each other.
Late at night, it was the familiar cabin again.
Looking at the moon, he lit the fire stick and lighted the oil lamp.
The firelight flickered, casting shadows on the food on the table.
Wang Yue said, "Now that things have come to this, I won't say much more, Master. Let's eat."
After saying that, the three of them started fighting for the food on the table.
“Squeak—ah—”
The door of the wooden house opened, and Bai Yu, wearing clothes and holding a lantern, pushed the door open.
…
…
"...Master...you..."
Because of what happened during the day, Bai Yu couldn't sleep at night. In the quiet night, the slightest sound would attract special attention.
The noise coming from far away made Bai Yu suspect that it was caused by a mouse stealing food, so he decided to get up and find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, he didn't catch the mouse in the end, but he caught three people having dinner together in the middle of the night.
Late at night, it was the familiar cabin again.
Bai Yu blew out the candle in the lantern, and the room instantly became a little darker.
The four of us looked at each other, but no one spoke. A silent and awkward atmosphere began to spread.
Finally, Bai Yu spoke up: "Master, are you hiding something from me?"
"What can I hide from you?"
"Then what are the master and the senior brothers doing? And what happened today? What on earth did the master and the senior brothers want to do? Is it worthy for you to do this?" Bai Yu asked puzzled.
"We are..." Yueshi was about to speak, but Wangyue interrupted him: "Yu'er, you have been in the mountain for almost two months, right?"
“Yes, Master.”
"Yu'er, you have suffered with us. Our Wangyue Sect is located in a remote place. In this mountain, no matter how much you cry out to the heavens or the earth, no one will help you." Master Wangyue's face was full of guilt.
Yue Hu also spoke up at this time: "Yes, Junior Brother, you were also the son of a wealthy family in the past. It is impossible for your living standard to drop so suddenly after you became my disciple, so we want to work hard to restore it to your previous level."
Yueshi nodded quickly.
"So Master, everything you did during the day was to make up for me?" Bai Yu said in disbelief.
"Yu'er, since you have noticed it, we won't hide it anymore." Master Wangyue looked at Bai Yu's eyes lovingly.
Bai Yu was a little amused. "Master, and fellow brothers, you don't have to be like this. You actually came here to learn martial arts. I have made preparations. You can just do it as usual."
"Besides, how can it be reasonable for me to let my teachers and brothers suffer while I wait to enjoy the good life?"
Yueshi looked at Baiyu with tears in his eyes: "Well, Junior Brother, you are so kind."
"Hahahaha, I'm obsessed. From now on, we'll get along as usual." Wangyue said.
"Everyone, go away. It's late at night. It's time to rest."
Yueshi and Yuehu walked back together.
"Junior brother, won't we do these things in the future?" Yueshi asked.
"Did you see the look that Master gave us just now? We can't just say we're going to do these things and then not do them!" Yuehu said.
"Yeah, we can only make up for it with trivial matters like this." Yueshi sighed.
"We have to be more covert in the future. We can't do it like today. We have to do it silently." Yuehu said.
"Um."
