The men were chatting animatedly when they suddenly felt a cold wind blow from behind them. Becoming alert, they were about to get up when…
One of them had a dagger pressed against his neck by Xie Lingqin; any movement would be fatal.
"what you up to?"
Two burly men stared at Xie Lingqin, at the dagger in her hand, their eyes flashing with murderous intent, their bodies on high alert.
Xie Lingqin glanced at the two men, then looked at the fat-faced man in front of her, whose neck she held to hers with a dagger. Although he didn't seem flustered, his face was covered in cold sweat.
Then, amidst the dappled rustling of leaves stirred by the wind, Xie Lingqin smiled slightly, flicked her finger, and with a dagger slicing through her sleeve, took a step back. "Did you see that clearly?"
"Look, what are you looking at?"
The man had been on the verge of death, desperately searching for a way to escape, when he suddenly saw Xie Lingqin withdraw her dagger. For a moment, he felt as if he had been reborn, and his voice stammered.
“You have no internal energy.” Two other men spoke up at the same time.
Xie Lingqin glanced at them. "Yes, I don't have internal energy, but you do. But just now, if I had made the slightest movement, he..." Xie Lingqin pointed at the man she had just pointed her blade at, "he would have died."
The two men exchanged glances, their guarded expressions unwavering, their brows furrowed. "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that all of these training methods are things I went through before. These methods are what trained me to be the way I am. Do you believe me?"
"you……"
"Are you Miss Xie Lingqin?"
Of the two men, one of the shorter ones recognized Xie Lingqin as the woman who had saved them from danger in the arena that day. The other two, being newcomers, naturally didn't recognize Xie Lingqin and remained silent. However, the man with a full beard beside them was somewhat defiant. "You overheard what we were saying, so you're trying to tell us that if we follow these training methods, we can kill as many people as you and even surpass those with profound internal strength?"
"It's a matter of opinion, but I don't want you to be a disorganized bunch."
Xie Lingqin said, and then took a step back with her hands behind her back.
“But even if you are powerful, if we are truly facing an enemy, my companions will have enough time to take your life while you kill me.”
The man who had been held to the neck by Xie Lingqin with a dagger earlier was somewhat indignant.
As soon as he spoke, the other two men also looked at Xie Fazhu, clearly trying to understand what the parents had said.
"Is that so?" Xie Lingqin smiled slightly, unhurriedly. "Then take a look at your belts."
As soon as Xie Lingqin finished speaking, the rather short man with a full beard looked at his waist.
He noticed that a small piece of his belt had been cut off by a sharp blade; it would have been unnoticed unless he looked closely.
However, the group was horrified.
When facing a life-or-death situation, things can change in an instant, and such a small opening could be enough to take their lives.
In other words, at that speed, if Xie Lingqin wanted to kill them, they would have been dead long ago.
For a moment, all three of them fell silent, staring at Xie Lingqin in disbelief.
This woman is incredibly fast...
“Your name is Suanpizi.” Xie Lingqin then turned around and looked at the young man who was as thin as a monkey and had been standing far away since she appeared.
The man was suddenly called by Xie Lingqin, who pointed to herself. He hurriedly and cautiously stepped forward, "Hello, Miss Lingqin. May I ask what you need?"
"call--"
Almost as soon as the man finished speaking, Xie Lingqin struck him directly between the eyebrows with her palm.
It was as fast as lightning, leaving no room for dodge. However, the sour-skinned man managed to dodge it, though he staggered backward.
"Miss Lingqin, this is..."
"So you see, true intelligence and skill are not necessarily about having profound internal strength or powerful martial arts. Mastering true agility is an extra chance to save your life."
After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she turned back to the group, ignoring Suanpizi, and said, "What I want you to learn is not just how to attack people, but also how to save your life and escape when your life is in danger. It's not shameful to lose a fight, but it's when you lose your life that you lose everything."
The girl's voice was clear and cold, yet firm and resolute.
For a moment, all was quiet. The men who had just been complaining about the training method now looked at Xie Lingqin and listened to her words. They silently composed themselves and lowered their heads.
They were shocked, and therefore moved.
Others only knew that they were the ones charging into battle for them, but Xie Lingqin actually told them to flee if they couldn't complete the mission.
If you lose your life, you lose everything.
This is a principle everyone knows, but when it comes to actually asking them to do something, how many of them will actually say it?
“Miss Lingqin, we were wrong.” The bearded man and the other two men clasped their hands in a fist salute. “Your intentions were good, but we didn’t understand.”
"It's not your fault. I haven't shown up for the past few days, so it's understandable that you're nagging. Besides, it's a good choice to vent."
At this moment, Minglan finally walked out from behind the thorns, and looking at Xie Lingqin, a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes.
With just a slight display of skill and a few words, he silenced these grumbling people, making them completely convinced and daring not to disobey.
Such abilities are not something everyone possesses, especially not a young woman like her.
However, he had fought Xie Lingqin before, so seeing her today, it seemed that Xie Lingqin's skills had improved considerably.
