She exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Qing, why are you out here?"
Ning Qing: "Oh, I just heard a voice outside that sounded different from usual. It was soft and sweet, so I came out to check it out."
As he spoke, he looked up and around, seemingly searching for the owner of that voice.
Upon hearing this, Qu Shaoyu pursed his lips in displeasure.
It turns out that Brother Qing was attracted by the voice of that shameless woman, which is why he stepped out of the painting.
Could it be...?
Qu Shaoyu looked at Ning Qing with suspicion in his eyes.
He blinked, concealing the suspicion in his eyes.
He reached out and grabbed a piece of Ning Qing's sleeve.
"Brother Qing, that was a woman's voice just now."
Ning Qing, "Woman?".
"Where did this woman come from? Why have I never heard her voice before?"
Qu Shaoyu blinked his big eyes.
"Brother Qing, I have been diligently cultivating my internal energy for two years. Could you take a look and see if I have made any progress?"
Ning Qing nodded.
He pointed to the table and said, "Hmm, try to strike with all your might."
Qu Shaoyu looked at the table with eager anticipation in his eyes.
"good".
As soon as the words were spoken, the person arrived, and the palm struck.
The desktop shattered with a crack.
Qu Shaoyu looked at his palm, his eyes filled with excited joy.
Ning Qing nodded in approval.
"Hmm, not bad. To achieve such results in two years, you are truly gifted."
Upon receiving Ning Qing's affirmation, Qu Shaoyu's eyes lit up.
"Then... may I study the second half of the sword technique?"
Ning Qing did not give an answer, but asked a question instead.
"Xiaoyu, I have a question for you."
Qu Shaoyu: "Brother Qing, ask away."
Ning Qing gazed at him.
Have you thought about the future?
Qu Shaoyu was puzzled.
"future?".
Ning Qing nodded.
"Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
Qu Shaoyu was even more puzzled.
"I am the ruler of a country, and I will certainly remain so in the future."
Ning Qing said, "Since you know that you are the ruler of a country and that the rise and fall of the nation is on your shoulders, how will you govern the country in the future if you spend all your time practicing martial arts?"
Qu Shaoyu's eyelashes fluttered, his eyes deep and resolute.
"To govern a country well, one must first eliminate the thieves; if the thieves are not eliminated, the country will be in danger."
Ning Qing raised an eyebrow.
“If I told you I could get rid of that scoundrel, Regent Liu Hai.”
"Will you still be so determined to practice martial arts?"
Qu Shaoyu looked up in shock at Ning Qing, who was sitting on the dragon bed.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
"Brother Qing... are you willing to help me get rid of that scoundrel Liu Hai?"
Ning Qing: "Just ask, and I'll do it for you."
Qu Shaoyu frowned slightly, his gaze towards Ning Qing filled with suspicion.
"Why are you so good to me? And why do you never ask for anything in return?"
Ning Qing smiled.
"I told you long ago that we are destined to be together. You are my destined one, and I will definitely lend you a helping hand."
The suspicion in Qu Shaoyu's eyes deepened.
"How many people are you destined to meet? And how many of them will you help without expecting anything in return?"
Ning Qing curled her lips and glanced sideways at Qu Shaoyu.
"Who said I don't ask for anything in return?"
Qu Shaoyu pressed for more information.
"Then you'll help me get rid of that fringe of yours, and what reward do you want?"
Ning Qing: I want you! Just give me yourself as payment.
The system... cannot harbor any illusions about its host!
Ning Qing said, "The reward is not urgent. I can ask you for it after I get rid of that thief."
Qu Shaoyu stared intently at Ning Qing, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
