Chapter 345: Flying Stars Chasing the Moon
Su Zhizhi and others rushed back to the Black Mountain Army's stronghold day and night.
Those days on the road were really hard, but with such an important matter at hand, no one complained.
Wu Yingniang and others knew Ning An's previous identity and thought that she would be a little spoiled, after all, she was a daughter of a wealthy family.
But after two days, everyone found that this little girl was quite hardworking and didn't complain at all.
Moreover, Ning An and Zhizhi have peers as companions on the road, so they are more motivated to do anything.
The two were full of energy and would occasionally exchange ideas while taking breaks on the road.
The night before arriving in the suburbs of Beijing, Su Zhizhi and Ning An started sparring again.
The golden whip and silver spear collided with each other, making a clanging sound.
The golden whip is fast and flexible, and the silver spear is powerful and fierce.
After the two exchanged more than ten moves, Su Zhizhi's golden dragon whip tightly wrapped around the silver spear in Ning An's hand.
Su Zhizhi laughed and imitated the adults' speech: "Haha, thank you for letting me."
Ning An snorted: "Stop talking, I didn't give in."
"The speed of your 'Flying Star Chasing the Moon' move was too slow." A voice sounded from not far behind the two of them.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wu Yingniang walking towards them.
Wu Yingniang walked up to Ning An and said:
"You pull your shoulders back too much before you draw your gun, which is why you're always a step behind when you perform this move."
Ning An's eyes widened slightly.
It was night now, and although there was a bonfire they had made not far away, the light was far less than during the day.
Her moves changed very quickly just now, but Wu Yingniang was able to see her moves clearly under such circumstances and even noticed the details of her mistakes.
Ning An subconsciously asked, "How fast is considered fast?"
Wu Yingniang glanced at Ning An's silver spear, then raised her own red tassel spear:
"Watch carefully."
The night was dark. Wu Yingniang raised the tip of the spear in her hand, and when the end touched the ground, there was a "clang" sound, which startled the birds in the nearby trees and flew away.
Ning An just blinked his eyes and saw Wu Yingniang's red tasseled spear had broken through the air, as fast as a meteor, but with the momentum of a rainbow piercing the sun.
The sharp tip of the gun rushed towards the moon in the sky, almost as if it was going to pierce into the moon.
This move shows absolute penetrating and explosive power.
“So fast…”
Ning An was so shocked that he swallowed unconsciously several times.
She originally thought that General Yuan's marksmanship was the best, and she hoped that she could reach General Yuan's level in this life.
However, at this moment, I discovered that there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.
Su Zhizhi said proudly:
"My mother's spearmanship is unparalleled in the world. She has mastered all the seven unique spears of the Wu family. She is absolutely superb—"
Wu Yingniang pinched Zhizhi's face:
"Don't blindly imitate Old Xu's tone of voice."
Su Zhizhi: "...In short, after seeing my mother's spear skills, I realized that the Wu family's Seven Wonders Spear is well-deserved."
Wu Yingniang: "Okay, go to bed now. We have to get up early and travel tomorrow."
Ning An hugged his silver spear and went to sleep in a daze.
When the moon rose high in the sky, she was still awake, and the scene of Wu Yingniang demonstrating the "Flying Stars Chasing the Moon" move kept appearing in front of her eyes.
She remembered what Su Zhizhi told her, that Caiwei had been accepted as a disciple by a master swordsman and was now actively practicing swordsmanship.
Ning An had an idea.
So, the next morning.
Ning An took the gun and practiced the move he used last night over and over again by the extinguished campfire.
Although she was not as fast as Wu Yingniang, she could feel that she had improved compared to last night.
When Wu Yingniang passed by and saw Ning An practicing, she also nodded:
"Yeah, not bad, better than last night."
Ning An turned around and looked at Wu Yingniang with joy and excitement, waiting for Wu Yingniang to say the next sentence.
But Wu Yingniang just reminded everyone to pack up their things and then left.
Ning An was puzzled.
On the way, Ning An quietly asked Zhizhi:
"Zhizhi, did Caiwei really just swing a few swords and then be accepted as a disciple by a master?"
Su Zhizhi: "Caiwei swung her sword not just a few times, but many times, killing many Hu people on the city wall. Uncle Dao said that Caiwei has talent, so he accepted Caiwei as his apprentice."
Ning An lowered his voice: "Then why doesn't your mother ask me?"
Su Zhizhi: "My mother likes people who practice diligently. Maybe if you practice a few more times, my mother will ask you."
Ning An: "That makes sense, I'll try it!"
So, that night, Ning An practiced shooting all night long.
The villagers of Black Bandit Mountain were unable to sleep due to the noise and jumped up one after another:
"What are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"The crowing chickens are so noisy, can't we sleep?"
"Hey, Yingniang, hurry up. Look how worried the little girl is. Can you please give her a definite answer and stop tormenting us to death?"
The experienced villagers saw through Ning An's little idea of becoming a disciple at a glance.
Wu Yingniang took Ning An aside and talked to her alone:
"Ning An, I can see that you like practicing shooting, and you're pretty good at it."
Ning An looked at Wu Yingniang expectantly, and finally heard Wu Yingniang ask that question:
"Do you want to take me as your master?"
Ning An was about to nod when he heard Wu Yingniang continue:
"I learned my spear skills from my adopted master. My master said that the Wu family's Seven Absolute Spears can only be passed down to the Wu family."
"As for the story of me passing on 70% of my spearmanship to my senior brother, there's a hidden story behind it, so I won't go into detail. But if you want to learn the Wu family spearmanship, you'll have to change your surname to Wu and offer your respects to my master and me in the future. Are you willing?"
Ning An: "Change your surname to Wu?"
This was the first time she heard that she had to change her surname to learn martial arts.
Wu Yingniang said, "You don't have to rush to answer. Wait until you return to the capital and reunite with the Qin family, then discuss it with your mother. Practicing spearmanship is not easy. If you want to learn the remaining spear techniques from me, you will have to endure even greater hardships. Think it over before deciding whether to become my disciple."
Ning An: "Okay, thank you Aunt Ying, I will definitely convince my mother when I go back, oh no, my mother."
After the two finished talking, they went to rest.
Ning An and Su Zhizhi slept together, and they whispered to each other before going to bed.
Ning An told Su Zhizhi.
Su Zhizhi: "That's it?"
In Su Zhizhi's mind, changing the surname is not a big problem.
Didn't her father, Hao Ren, change his name? She was originally called Pei Zhi, then changed it to Su Zhi, and maybe she'll change it back to Pei Zhi in the future.
Ning An also thought it was no big deal. No one had ever called her Murong Xiang before. This name was quite unfamiliar.
However, both girls felt that changing from Murong Xiang to Wu Xiang sounded weird.
It's like spiced melon seeds.
With this slightly conflicted mood, Ning An returned safely with the people from Black Bandit Mountain and reunited with the Qin family.
The Qin family was so moved that they all felt relieved.
When Ning An mentioned the change of surname, everyone in the Qin family agreed.
"Change it, change it now." Concubine Shu was the most supportive.
At this time, what's good about having the surname Murong?
She only hoped that her daughter would live a peaceful and happy life, do what she wanted, and never be bound by the constraints of the palace and the royal family.
Therefore, the Qin family sent a message the next day and prepared a very generous gift for becoming a disciple.
Not long after Wu Yingniang and others returned, Yuan Chi, who had been recuperating in Xianyun Manor recently, finally woke up.
Yuan Chi had been seriously injured before and had been a little confused for some time. He finally got better in the past two days. Doctor Yu said that he could go out.
Yuan Chi thought of the tragic scene on the city wall that day, and was really moved when his junior sister brought a group of people to rescue him.
Although the junior sister was ignorant when she was young, bullied him because he was honest, and did bad things to him, but when she grew up, she became reliable!
At the same time, he heard that his daughter Caiwei had become a disciple of a martial arts master and was learning swordsmanship.
"This is great!" Yuan Chi was very happy for his daughter.
It is a great blessing for a martial artist to find a master to guide him.
Yuan Chi decided to thank his junior sister and her family. He got up from the bed and wanted to find his junior sister and her family.
Wu Yingniang happened to arrive at this time.
"Senior brother, let me tell you something about becoming your disciple." Wu Yingniang strode in.
Yuan Chi waved his hand: "I know, I heard about Caiwei becoming a disciple."
Wu Yingniang shook her head: "It's not Caiwei."
Yuan Chi: "Who is that?"
Wu Yingniang's eyebrows relaxed, and the small mole on her lips was stained with a smile:
"Brother, let me tell you, your disciple belongs to me."
Yuan Chi: ???
Yuan Chi:!!!
