The two immediately began fighting. Although Qi Ziang was young, he was agile and his moves were fierce. He used the terrain to his advantage, constantly dodging Thousand Shadow Hand's attacks while looking for an opportunity to counterattack. After a short while, he successfully subdued Thousand Shadow Hand on the ground.
Qi Zi'ang, panting, looked at the Thousand Shadow Hand lying on the ground, secretly relieved. At this moment, Xu Yuehuai, Qi Guze, and Tie Chunsheng also came over. Seeing that Qi Zi'ang had successfully subdued the Thousand Shadow Hand, they all showed relieved smiles.
Xu Yuehuai patted Qi Ziang on the shoulder: "Ziang, well done!"
Qi Guze nodded: "You didn't disappoint me. When we get back, I'll give you a more practical and useful dagger."
Tie Chunsheng patted Qi Ziang on the back: "That's really good. I was worried for a moment. It turns out this was all your scheme."
Qi Ziang smiled but didn't say anything.
Qi Guze walked up to Qianyingshou and coldly asked, "Why did you want to harm my son?"
Qianying lowered her head, not daring to meet Qi Guze's gaze, and replied in a trembling voice, "This humble one... this humble one only wanted to make money, I didn't expect to offend the prince's son."
Qi Guze frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Seeking money? Do you know you've taken a life!"
Qianying trembled, her knees buckled, and she knelt before Qi Guze, kowtowing repeatedly, tears streaming down her face: "Your Highness, spare my life! I know I was wrong, I am willing to pay any price to beg for Your Highness's forgiveness!"
Qi Guze watched coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He turned to Xu Yuehuai and said calmly, "This man has committed numerous evil deeds; how can he be let off lightly? He must be handed over to the authorities so that the law can punish him."
Xu Yuehuai nodded in agreement, and then gave the order: "Someone come here!"
The guards appeared like ghosts, quickly surrounding Thousand Shadow Hand. Seeing this, Thousand Shadow Hand turned deathly pale and cried out for mercy: "Your Highness, spare my life! I'm willing to serve you like a dog, I only beg you to spare my life!"
Qi Guze remained unmoved, coldly uttering a single word: "Take him away!"
The guards mercilessly took Thousand Shadow Hand away, leaving only his agonizing screams echoing through the forest. Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai stood silently in place, their gazes deep, as if they could see through the good and evil of the world.
Qi Zi'ang stood aside and witnessed the entire process. He was deeply shocked and felt sincere admiration for his parents' decisiveness and authority. He stepped forward, bowed to Qi Guze, and said, "Father, you did the right thing. Such a wicked person should be punished as he deserves."
Qi Guze turned around, patted Qi Ziang on the shoulder, and his eyes shone with approval: "Ziang, you did very well too. You showed extraordinary courage and wisdom, and we are all very proud of you."
A proud smile appeared on Qi Ziang's face. He looked up at his father, his eyes shining with determination: "Father, I will continue to work hard, constantly improve myself, and become a true strongman."
After these twists and turns, Qi Ziang and Tie Chunsheng both gained a deeper understanding of the treacherous nature of the world and the complexity of human hearts. They cherished their friendship and the companionship of their families even more, and became even more determined to become stronger.
That afternoon, the group walked along the forest path, venturing deep into the dense forest for their daily training. Sunlight slanted through the treetops, casting dappled shadows like scattered gold dust on the ground. Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai stood side-by-side in an open area, their gazes sharp as they guided the children in honing their various skills.
"Zi'ang, remember to make full use of the terrain." Qi Guze's voice was deep and powerful, each word seemingly carrying immense weight. "Only in this way can your advantages be maximized."
Qi Zi'ang nodded, his eyes shining with determination. He carefully observed his father's every movement; his fluid and powerful figure was like a poem, a painting, full of strength and wisdom. He tried to imitate him, initially appearing somewhat clumsy, but quickly grasped the essentials, and his movements gradually became more skillful.
Tie Chunsheng observed silently from the side, a strange light gleaming in his eyes. He tried to incorporate his own understanding and creativity into each movement. Although his movements were not as fluid as Qi Ziang's, they had a unique charm, as if his soul was dancing.
Xu Yuehuai stood to the side, watching the children train, a gratified smile on her face. She knew that these children were working hard to grow, and they would become even more outstanding and stronger.
As time passed, the sun gradually slanted westward, casting golden rays upon the four, as if clad in golden armor. Their faces beamed with satisfaction and joy, for they knew that their efforts today had not been in vain; they had not only improved their skills but also gained invaluable experience and personal growth.
As evening fell, the four returned home laden with their spoils. Though exhausted, their faces beamed with satisfaction and joy. They knew that their efforts today had not been in vain; every drop of sweat was for a stronger future.
Back at camp, the four sat around the campfire, sharing their experiences and feelings of the day. The firelight danced on their faces, reflecting their determined eyes and tired yet content expressions.
"Zi'ang, you did very well today. Your movements are getting smoother and smoother." Qi Guze spoke first, his voice sounding particularly gentle in the night.
Upon hearing this, Qi Zi'ang gave a shy smile, "It's all thanks to Father's excellent teaching."
"Chunsheng, your idea is very good, but you still need to pay attention to the fluidity and power of the movements." Xu Yuehuai turned to Tie Chunsheng and gently pointed out his shortcomings.
Tie Chunsheng nodded, his eyes shining with determination. "Mother, I will continue to work hard."
The four sat together, their laughter filling the air with the warmth and harmony of family. They knew the road ahead was long, but as long as they worked together and forged ahead, they would surely overcome all difficulties and challenges.
In the days that followed, they continued their training deep into the forest. Each experience was incredibly rewarding, not only improving their strength but also teaching them how to outwit and outfight ferocious beasts.
On this day, they ventured into the depths of a profound and mysterious forest. Towering trees stood tall and dense, sunlight dappling through the gaps in their leaves, casting shimmering shadows like a fantastical painting by nature. The air was filled with the moist scent of earth and the faint fragrance of flowers, a truly invigorating experience, as if they had stepped into a mysterious and beautiful fairyland.
"Daddy, Mommy, look how beautiful these flowers and plants are!" Qi Zixin excitedly pointed to the wildflowers by the roadside, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and surprise. The wildflowers were colorful and vibrant, vying for attention, as if showing them the wonders of nature.
