Chapter 41: Draw a Sword to Cut the Water and Make the Jealousy Wave
Xinyi stared at the broken sword in her hand and fell into deep thought - could it be that her words and actions had caused this young peak master to discover something, otherwise why would she have said such words?
…
"Since we can't practice with a long sword, then all these days of training have been in vain?" Mai Dong became a little anxious when he heard that.
Lingxiang glanced at him with an expression of disappointment.
"How do you say it was a waste of practice? I only said that the long sword is not suitable, but I didn't say that the long sword won't work." Lingxiang put down the cup in her hand, stood up and walked to Xinyi, "Besides, even if the long sword doesn't work, just treat it as him getting familiar with the moves first." As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand, half of which was covered by the sleeve of her cotton coat, to Xinyi.
Xinyi didn't understand what she meant and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
"What a fool." Lingxiang said, snatching the long sword from Xinyi's arms and pulling it out.
Just when everyone was wondering what she was going to do, she saw her twist her fingers and break the soft sword into pieces, leaving only an inch and a half of the blade.
"What does this mean?" Xinyi asked.
"'Severing Water' is a short-range weapon technique. For now, use it this way. I'll make further plans later when we go to the backdoor to select weapons for you." He handed the broken sword to Xinyi, "Try it and see if it flows better than a long sword."
Xinyi practiced a few times and found that she was indeed much more fluent than before.
"Does it feel more like wielding a blade? The Water-Breaking Art can also be practiced with two-handed weapons, so I'm sure it will be more convenient for you."
He was feeling the changes, but Lingxiang suddenly said this, and he was shocked.
But when I looked at her, I saw her turn her head and sit back in the chair.
…
What if we are really discovered?
Xinyi was still deep in thought when Zhao Wuyang suddenly slapped him.
"Brother Xinyi!"
This frightened Xinyi, and as usual she stood up and prepared to fight back, which scared Zhao Wuyang so much that he retreated repeatedly.
When he saw who was coming, he quickly put away his broken sword and stood up to help him. However, he had just revealed his vicious look, and his closeness made Zhao Wuyang step back again, his face full of fear.
"I... I remembered my childhood. I didn't notice you calling me. I must have scared you..." Xinyi pretended to retract the hand she extended to Zhao Wuyang.
Xinyi's anger just now was indeed scary, but when Zhao Wuyang thought of what he said when he persuaded Long Qi that day, he immediately understood.
Although I cannot understand the pain, my mother often said that if you can give warmth to others, why be stingy?
Before Xinyi let go of his hand, Zhao Wuyang resolutely grabbed him, saying something like he was really scared just now, looking like he didn't care at all.
But Xinyi felt a ripple in his heart - although he was the one who asked Zhao Wuyang to stand up, this handshake seemed as if Zhao Wuyang was holding him back.
I am a bloody man, with a blood debt on my body, and I have long been stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate myself.
During these days in the Yuanqing faction, interacting with these people made him relax his guard, and he was really immersed in it, as if he was at ease.
But what I'm planning might hurt them.
While he was lost in thought, Zhao Wuyang called him again.
"Brother Xinyi, what's wrong with you?"
"Well, there's an extremely mysterious move in the 'Water Breaking Technique', and I'm currently trying to comprehend it."
"Hey! No matter how hard you work, you still have to eat, right? Brothers Long Qi and Liu Xia can't wait for you, so they asked me to come and call you. They went to the kitchen to get food for us, otherwise we won't have good food if we're late." Zhao Wuyang said, pulling Xinyi away.
Looking at Zhao Wuyang, who looked like a child but seemed to be glowing in the sunlight, Xinyi felt as if the darkness in her heart had been dispelled.
But if this person who is as bright as the sun is hurt, what will I do?
Long Qi and Liu Xia had just finished preparing the meal and sat down when they heard what people at the next table were saying.
"Why didn't Cheng Qi come? Is he practicing martial arts again? He's so absorbed in it, forgetting to eat or sleep. Is he possessed by a demon?"
"Huh? He was following me just now. How come he's gone?"
At this time, a man sat down with a wooden table.
"Just as we were leaving the hospital, I saw a woman calling him. Hearing him call me Peak Master, I thought it must be the legendary Qingwei Peak Master."
"What? You saw the Peak Master? Was she as beautiful as the rumors said?"
"I couldn't tell for sure whether she was a goddess or not, but she was dressed warmly, so I guess she was very cold. But her voice was very beautiful, even more beautiful than the girls singing in the taverns in the city."
"Why is this young Peak Master looking for Cheng Yu? Could it be that he's attracted to our Cheng Yu's burly figure?"
When Long Qi heard this, he slammed the table and stood up. Fortunately, Liu Xia reacted in time and was pulled before he could turn around.
The disciple's words were indeed reckless, but Lingxiang had always come to his house by climbing over the wall, clearly wanting no one to know their relationship. While the reason was unknown, there must be other motives. If Long Qi turned against him now, it would expose their relationship and potentially ruin Lingxiang's plans.
When Long Qi heard that, he became furious. Liu Xia pulled him back and he calmed down. However, he was still angry. He dropped his bowl and chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen. Seeing this, Liu Xia hurriedly followed him.
When Xinyi and Zhao Wuyang arrived, there were only four wooden tables and some soups and food that had not been taken away at the place where the four of them usually sat, but Long Qi and Liu Xia were nowhere to be seen. After asking around, they found out what had happened.
After hearing this, Zhao Wuyang became anxious and wanted to go out to look for him - Liu Xia Longqi had been at odds with Cheng Qi because of him before, and now it was like this, there was a possibility that they would fight.
However, Xinyi stopped him and persuaded him to finish his meal before leaving. Although anyone with eyes could see what Long Qi was thinking, he himself seemed unaware of it. If this incident could help him see himself more clearly, it might be a good thing.
But he never thought about when he started to care about other people's affairs.
Zhao Wuyang couldn't persuade Xinyi, so he had to sit down to eat. However, he was anxious and had no appetite. He swallowed two mouthfuls and then dragged Xinyi out to look for someone. The sad thing was that Xinyi threw a piece of radish to the ground before he could even put it in his mouth.
Long Qi searched everywhere for him, but couldn't find him. He was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do. He kicked an old pine tree nearby and vented his anger. How could he disappear without a trace after only half an incense stick of time from leaving the outer disciples' courtyard? Why was Lingxiang looking for that guy Chengqi? Could it be that she really had a crush on him?
Seeing him like this, Liu Xia laughed in her heart. She had made jokes about him and Miss Lingxiang in the past, but this guy denied it. But who couldn't see that he cared about Miss Lingxiang? Whenever he talked about her and a certain disciple, he always looked jealous, but always pretended to be calm. Now when it came to Cheng Yu, he was really anxious.
"Come to think of it, although Miss Lingxiang called Cheng Yu outside the courtyard, they should have been talking inside the house. Why don't we go to Cheng Yu's courtyard to look for him?" Liu Xia suggested while holding back her laughter when she saw Long Qi's anxious look.
When Long Qi heard this, he went straight to Cheng Yu's residence without saying a word.
The person was not in the house, but there were two cups of hot tea in the living room. When I went to the backyard, I saw two people sitting on a big rock, talking about something.
When Long Qi saw this, his stomach suddenly turned turbulent and acidic gas rose up, as if he had eaten four taels of glutinous rice balls and was unable to digest the food.
"Lingxiang! Chengqi! What are you two doing here, alone and alone?"
