Chapter 174 The Male Supporting Character Who Avenged His Mistakes (2)
Changqing wasn't in a hurry to practice his skills.
This body already has many hidden injuries from practicing martial arts. He needs to recuperate properly, so he doesn't end up like the original owner, who, despite having superb martial arts skills, had to endure the pain of hidden injuries all the time. That's not what he wants.
He wrote out a prescription and asked his maid, Hong'er, to get the medicine.
Hong'er was completely bewildered.
"Young master, shouldn't you ask Doctor Bai to prescribe the medicine?"
Changqing shook his head: "No need, I followed the prescription in the book, there's no problem. Just get the medicine according to the prescription."
Hong'er brought the medicine, and Changqing taught her how to brew it.
Fortunately, Hong'er was quick-witted and learned very fast. Before long, a bowl of fragrant medicinal soup was brought over.
Changqing downed it in one gulp.
Then, he instructed Hong'er, "These medicinal herbs are for making soup; they can be cooked with pork bones. These are for making porridge; millet, rice, and barley are all fine. And these..."
Hong'er's eyes widened. "Young master, will we have to take medicine every day from now on?"
The two lived together in a small courtyard on Black Wind Cliff. Hong'er was in charge of taking care of him; she was a very clever little girl.
Upon hearing this, Changqing smiled and said, "These medicinal herbs are actually not bitter; some are even sweet. Moreover, this is called medicinal cuisine, and it's good for your health."
Hong'er looked on with envy. "Young master, you know so much. If only I could read and write."
"That's easy!"
Changqing waved his hand, "From now on, I'll teach you to read."
Hong'er was startled and shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, Young Master needs to practice his skills. Hong'er dares not delay. If the Sect Leader finds out, he will skin me alive!"
Changqing then said, "Then I'll teach you when I have time. Ten words a day, just talk about them when you rest during practice, it won't interfere with anything."
He knew that the little girl was very afraid of Ren Yueying.
Because Ren Yueying was not filled with love at this moment, but was a madwoman filled with hatred. Moreover, she was still the acting leader. After her father died, she had been the acting leader, but she did not manage anything. She was immersed in this love and hate all day long, which was very contradictory.
Hong'er hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
Changqing: "Two words, just two words every day, something that comes naturally to me."
This time, Hong'er was somewhat tempted and nodded.
On this day, Changqing took advantage of his rest to teach Hong'er three words—Xie Hong'er, which is Hong'er's name.
The character "谢" has many strokes, so Hong'er only learned a few. She quickly learned the other two characters.
After dinner, she wrote something for Changqing to see. Although it was crooked and messy, it was correct. Changqing praised her without reservation, saying that Hong'er was talented. Hong'er blushed with embarrassment.
The next day, after taking his medicine, Changqing was able to walk again, but he still showed no interest in practicing his martial arts.
"Take a few more days to rest; sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting work."
Seeing Hong'er's anxiety, he explained it this way, and then he taught Hong'er a few words, which Hong'er learned carefully.
On the third day, he still didn't go to practice his skills.
Hong'er got anxious and lost interest in learning to read.
On the fourth day, Changqing started warming up, but still showed no intention of practicing. Hong'er was so worried that she couldn't eat.
"Young master, aren't you afraid the sect leader will find out you're slacking off?"
Changqing waved his hand, "She's always very busy. When have you ever seen her care about me? She only comes to check on my martial arts progress once every two weeks. She never comes on other days."
Hong'er:.......
That makes sense, but she was never at ease.
Ren Yueying is indeed busy.
For example, right now, she has come to a small valley in the mountains that she had ordered people to build. Here, birds sing and flowers bloom, and there is a small lake nearby. Beside the lake are three thatched huts.
Xiaomu returns to the valley!
This is the name she gave to this place.
Stepping into the thatched hut, a hint of melancholy appeared on her face; the furnishings were exactly the same as before.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her expression changed, and she grabbed the wine pot on the table and smashed it on the ground.
Bang!
The wine jug shattered, and wine spilled all over the floor.
"Bai Tianyi, you killed our child! I will never forgive you! I want you to pay for my child's life!"
Suddenly, she ripped off her mask, revealing an extremely beautiful face, but on her right cheek was a scar that looked like a centipede, scarlet and terrifying.
Ren Yueying stared intently at her face in the bronze mirror, unable to resist reaching out to touch it. The moment she touched the scar, she recoiled as if electrocuted, and suddenly overturned the table.
"Bai Tianyi, I hate you! I hate you!"
She slowly sat down on the ground, her eyes filled with tears.
I don't know how much time passed.
Ren Yueying appeared at the mouth of the valley, her face veiled again, and she had completely regained her composure.
Several subordinates stood by with their hands at their sides.
She calmly said, "Restore everything in the valley to its original state."
Then he leisurely left.
The subordinates quickly entered the valley, cleaned up the broken pieces of the wine jug on the ground, and replaced them with a brand new, identical wine jug in its original position. They also carefully checked whether the position was off. They replaced all the other items as well. In less than half an incense stick's time, everything in the valley was restored to its previous state.
...
I rested for five or six days.
Changqing finally began practicing his skills.
The Divine Illumination Sword Technique was the martial art that the original owner had been practicing. It was originally a profound sword technique of the Demonic Sect called the Divine Illumination Saber Technique, but Ren Yueying insisted that the original owner practice it with a sword. Her meaning was that Bai Tianyi used a sword, and only by defeating him with a sword could you truly avenge him.
What kind of logic is this!
Changqing found it bizarre and suspected that his mentally unstable mother wanted to relive the past by watching him practice swordsmanship.
That's fucking insane.
He couldn't help but sigh.
This is outright child abuse.
Fortunately, the original owner was exceptionally talented, using a sword as a weapon and developing extraordinary skills.
Changqing carefully recalled the martial art, the Divine Illumination Blade Technique. It was a decent martial art, top-tier in this world, but it was nothing special in his eyes. After a moment's thought, he directly modified it, patching up some of the flaws.
Moreover, he did not have the habit of using a sword as a knife. Since it was a knife technique, he should naturally practice it with a knife.
In the snow.
The small figure stood with his knife raised, and suddenly, he moved.
A flash of light, like the sun high in the sky, blinded people.
Hong'er's eyes widened.
She sensed that the young master was somewhat different today than before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
An incense stick has burned for a while.
Changqing sheathed his sword and stood there.
Hong'er quickly grabbed the herbal tea and ran over.
"Young master, your swordsmanship today seems even more impressive than usual," she couldn't help but exclaim.
Changqing nodded, "The Divine Illumination Saber Technique is a saber technique, so practicing it with a saber will naturally make it even more divine."
