Her rosy face looks like a girl who has met her first love.

Especially her heartbeat, which can be heard clearly when it is quiet.

Xu Qiu couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead to see if she had a fever or was just too frightened.

"I'm glad you're okay."

Xu Qiu replied calmly, without any expression of joy for saving the princess.

On the contrary, the palace maids around felt that Xu Qiu was too calm.

If he were an ordinary guard, he would definitely be happy when he saved the princess, and at the same time, he would keep expressing his loyalty to the princess, like a dog to boot.

And Xu Qiu gives people the impression that he just saved the princess casually.

While the palace maid was depressed, the seventh princess, An Xinyu, was still very excited.

Seeing that she was silent, Xu Qiu changed the subject and asked, "Seventh Princess, why did you climb to the top of the tree?"

When he asked about it.

The Seventh Princess An Xinyu suddenly became very nervous and said hurriedly: "I am not a reckless girl, I just want to pick..."

She stuttered a little when she spoke, as if she wanted to explain, but didn't know how?

After all, a princess who loves climbing trees is really hilarious.

Princess Daqian is known as a lady, but she acts like a barbarian.

Seeing her hesitating, Xu Qiu said, "I understand. You just like to play. It's normal for a princess to be playful at her age."

"I'm not in love... okay..."

An Xinyu had no better explanation and could only nod.

To ease my embarrassment.

Changing the subject, "By the way, why did you come just now?"

There was a hint of disdain and complaint in An Xinyu's tone when she spoke.

"Your fourth brother almost beat me to death at Caishikou. In order to protect myself, I can only be busy and come to you a little later." Xu Qiu answered casually.

"Don't mention that guy to me, he is not my fourth brother. I don't have a brother who wants to rebel!"

An Xinyu became furious when she thought of An Tingwu's ugly face.

She and An Lan were both born to the empress.

She was still young at that time, and her mother was the empress or the queen mother. It was not until her father passed away that her mother ascended the throne on her own and became one of the few female emperors in Daqian. However, her mother did not kill other princes and princesses, as well as other concubines and talented women, but retained the harem.

Even the status of other princes and princesses was left behind.

Now, not only are they ungrateful, they also want to overthrow the Queen Mother.

Therefore, An Xinyu was angry with An Tingwu.

After all, if she succeeded, An Xinyu's own fate would not be very good, so now she and the empress share a common destiny.

Xu Qiu saw that the Seventh Princess looked a little angry.

He kept silent and just stayed quietly aside.

It was not until An Xinyu came to her senses that she said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, when I mention that guy, I get angry unconsciously."

"fine."

Xu Qiu didn't care.

"By the way, this is for you. Thank you for saving me just now." An Xinyu suddenly took out an exquisite glass hairpin from her arms.

As a token of gratitude, it was handed directly into Xu Qiu's hands.

Xu Qiu glanced at the item in the woman's hand. He wanted to refuse it, but seeing the irresistible look in the Seventh Princess' eyes, Xu Qiu could only put the hairpin away silently and said lightly, "Thank you."

The seventh princess waved her hand.

Then he asked curiously: "Your skills just now don't seem like those of an ordinary person."

An Xinyu remembered clearly what had just happened.

Xu Qiu was more than ten feet away from the loquat tree. The moment she fell, Xu Qiu arrived under her and held her in his arms accurately.

A scholar cannot perform such a method. Moreover, it is rumored that Xu Qiu is in very weak health. But how to explain what happened just now?

"Well, I just recently entered the ranks of warriors."

After hearing what Xu Qiu said, An Xinyu's face suddenly showed excitement and her eyes lit up.

Xu Qiu glanced at the Seventh Princess' burning gaze, feeling somewhat puzzled.

This girl is really weird. As a princess she is so active. It turns out that princesses are all wild.

At this time, An Xinyu asked with a little hope in her eyes: "Do you have any sword techniques suitable for women to practice that can be mastered quickly?"

Xu Qiu looked at her excitement.

He asked helplessly, "Princess, are you sure you want to play with the sword and dance?"

"Why not?"

An Xinyu didn't want to stay in the palace as a concubine.

She put her hands on her hips, stared at Xu Qiu with a sharp gaze, and said as if it was a matter of course: "As a princess, can't I travel the world with a sword? Do I have to stay in the palace forever and marry a prince consort in the end?"

"All right."

Xu Qiu didn't know what to say.

As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. Her mother became the empress, so it is understandable that she wants to travel the world with a sword.

Besides, he had seen violent girls like Qin Jianjia, so what kind of women had Xu Qiu not seen? So Xu Qiu thought for a while and said, "There is indeed a set of swordsmanship that is suitable for women to practice. If you practice it to a high level, you can surpass the super master level and reach the innate level."

After all, Xu Qiu has been cultivating immortals in two lifetimes.

Therefore, many skills are acquired in the world of cultivating immortals.

There are countless such ordinary sword techniques.

However, even the most ordinary mortal martial arts training methods can allow people to break through and reach the pinnacle of mortals.

It is considered a top-level martial art in the low-level martial arts world.

An Xinyu had no idea about the levels of martial arts training, nor did she know about the super-grandmaster realm, let alone the meaning of the innate realm. The innate realm was the pinnacle of mortals, and was almost the top combat power in Qingluan Valley.

She shouted excitedly: "I want to learn! I want to learn!"

At this time, the palace maids around came forward one after another.

He kept persuading her, "Princess, you are a precious person. Swords and knives have no eyes. If you get hurt, it will be a loss for Daqian."

"I hope Your Highness the Seventh Princess will think twice!"

The palace maids were afraid that the seventh princess would get hurt.

If they were blamed by their superiors, their lives would be in danger.

Besides, it's weird for a woman to practice martial arts. What if she develops abdominal muscles? How can she marry a prince consort in the future? Even the palace maid Xiao He came to persuade her: "Yes, women are not suitable for sword practice. Seventh Princess, you don't want to see muscles growing on your body, right?"

An Xinyu covered her ears and acted as if she wasn't listening.

And he said to the maids around him: "Isn't it fine if I just practice secretly? You will keep it a secret for me, right?"

Before the palace maids could speak.

An Xinyu had already walked to Xu Qiu's side and asked, "How long will it take to master this sword technique?"

"If you start practicing at the age of eight, you will have achieved some success at the age of ten, mastery at the age of twelve, great success at the age of thirteen, perfection at the age of fifteen, and perfection at the age of eighteen."

"And now?"

“It will take ten years to achieve even a small success.”

Xu Qiu said without any concealment.

After all, she has passed the best time for cultivation, and the Seventh Princess is now over 16 years old.

"Ah...it takes so long?" An Xinyu was disappointed when she heard that. Then she said, "Ten years is too long. Isn't there a faster way?"

Looking at An Xinyu's expectant eyes.

Xu Qiu felt that he had achieved half of his goal.

So he coughed dryly and said, "You are already past the best age to practice martial arts. It will be very difficult to go faster... But... there is a way."

Xu Qiu patiently and kindly advised.

An Xinyu grabbed Xu Qiu's arm and said ecstatically, "Hurry up and tell me!"
