Jiang Xuelin really didn't do it on purpose.
But when Fu Han came to spar, he just kept circling around her, and she got impatient before she realized what was wrong with him. Maybe he was just trying to prevent her from getting a proper workout.
Moreover, sparring with him is really not interesting, but sparring with Master Wu is quite good, after all, he was specially trained.
So when Jiang Xuelin saw Fu Hanlai circling around her for so long before making a move, she simply... knocked him down.
She wasn't saying it herself, but Fu Hanlai's movements were full of flaws. Although he was supposed to be sparring and therefore not taking it seriously, this was still too unserious. Was he just playing around?
That's why Jiang Xuelin knocked him down and let him play on the side.
But her words doubled the attack on Fu Hanlai.
It is extremely lethal.
What do you mean by "playing"?
This is a strategy of his. Even if it fails, it's still a lesson learned. He's not playing around. What kind of look is that from Jiang Xuelin?
Fortunately, he never intended to win in the first place. He knew he would definitely lose; he was just trying to see how far he was from Jiang Xuelin. Now he knows that all he needs to do is work hard.
Fu Hanlai glared fiercely at Jiang Xuelin, then took his sword and walked to the side to continue his vigorous swordplay.
However, after practicing for a while, he thought about it and decided to give up the sword he was used to and instead inquired about the gun.
"...Does the young master want to practice his spear skills?" Master Wu said, glancing at Jiang Xuelin not far away.
Jiang Xuelin was using a gun at this moment, could it be because of this?
Jiang Xuelin can change weapons at will, but others can't. It's almost like starting all over again.
"Yeah, what do you think about me starting to practice shooting from now on?"
Master Wu: "..."
Not good.
Every weapon is different; how can you just switch to a gun like that? Fu Hanlai has been learning swords since elementary school, and now he's suddenly switched to a spear—he doesn't know how to use one at all!
"Why would the young master think of practicing spear instead of swordsmanship?"
I was puzzled.
Didn't they say that people who wield swords look more handsome and dashing, which is why they chose swords? Master Wu thought that more people use swords and that they are easier to master, so he didn't say anything.
"Ahem." Fu Hanlai coughed lightly, glancing at Jiang Xuelin who was practicing with a spear not far away, and subconsciously lowered his voice, "Because I discovered that the spear is very long."
Master Wu: "..."
Isn't that obvious? Of course a spear is long. A long spear is a long spear. How can it be called a long spear if it's not long?
"When I was sparring with that girl Jiang Xuelin just now, I discovered that it's better to have a longer weapon in your hand during a fight. If it's longer, my attack will have already reached the enemy, but because the enemy's weapon is too short, they won't be able to touch me. Wouldn't that give me a higher chance of winning?"
Master Wu: "..."
What the young master said... seemed to make a little sense, but it was only seemingly so.
If it were that simple, wouldn't everyone be practicing with long weapons? What would be the point of practicing with short weapons? But the problem is that things aren't calculated that way. It's not that longer weapons are inherently more advantageous; longer weapons aren't as easy to control as shorter ones.
Master Wu, considering it his duty, thoroughly analyzed the situation. Fortunately, Fu Hanlai was not the kind of person who was unreasonable or unwilling to listen to advice. After Master Wu explained, although he had some doubts, he ultimately gave up with regret.
When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, Master Wu is no match for me, but when it comes to martial arts, I certainly don't know as much as Master Wu. I'd better listen to Master Wu.
It's just a bit of a shame.
Such a good idea didn't work, but Fu Hanlai made a decision: next time he sparred with Jiang Xuelin, he would not let Jiang Xuelin choose the spear, but would make her choose the sword like he did.
Jiang Xuelin would certainly not refuse such a small matter; this girl is quite proud of herself in this regard.
However, Fu Hanlai felt that Jiang Xuelin should indeed be proud, since he had not yet found anyone who could beat Jiang Xuelin in terms of martial arts skills.
Of course, just because it doesn't happen now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Fu Hanlai will definitely beat Jiang Xuelin in the future and show her what he's made of.
Thinking of that scene, Fu Hanlai felt as if he had already defeated Jiang Xuelin, and his enthusiasm for training increased even more.
The martial arts master who knew everything: "..."
Only he knew that the young master's ambitions were not a pleasant thing, and he had no one to talk to about it.
Jiang Xuelin broke out in a sweat. Seeing that it was almost time, she put the spear back on the weapon rack. A maid who had been waiting nearby immediately brought her a clean handkerchief.
Jiang Xuelin wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, glanced back at Fu Hanlai who was still working hard, and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Fu Ashou, it's time to go and pay your respects to Mother and the others."
In fact, neither Princess Ping nor Prince Ping required the young couple to pay their respects every day. The family was small, and Princess Ping was not a wicked mother-in-law. She didn't have many rules, so the young couple just needed to live their own lives.
But Jiang Xuelin won't stop paying her respects just because you're favored by Princess Ping. Relationships need to be maintained. If Princess Ping treats her well, she will naturally treat Princess Ping well in return.
Of course, she was unaware of Princess Ping's disdain for her.
This kind of disdain is different from other mothers-in-law's disdain for their daughters-in-law. Princess Ping dislikes Fu Hanlai, her eldest son, as well. Seeing them hurts her eyes, but if she can't see them, she feels it's too quiet.
...I'm even more afraid that when I can't see them, they might be up to something else.
