Chapter 155: Learn SwordTranslator: Antonia

If others behaved like this, it would let people feel rude, but Lu Zhengyang did it so naturally that his carefree manner only made him more of an unbridled pleasure.

Ning Shaoqing took out a black chess piece, twiddling between his fingers, “The timing is yet to come. Let’s keep it mysterious first. I don’t need to bother you right now. You may just wait to see an interesting drama. I’m sure to find out the one behind the stage.”

Lu Zhengyang’s unrestrained smile inconspicuously stilled for a second and then bloomed into a brighter one, “That sounds good. I knew that you’re no ordinary person. In the past, you took no actions only because of family ties and let them stole the opportunity. I’m wondering do you already have an idea as to who is the one behind the stage?”

Ning Shaoqing smiled cryptically, “Not yet, but the net has been cast. I believe soon the one will automatically get trapped in my net.”

Lu Zhengyang raised his glass again, “Then, I’d like to make a toast to you now. I hope you could eradicate the enemy, go back home and take it over as soon as possible.”

Ning Shaoqing smiled but didn’t say anything, toasting to him too.

The two raised empty cups, as if they were really drinking, pouring into the mouth and bursting into laughter.

One bosom friend is enough to make one gratify about one’s life!

It was dawn. Su Qi, dressed up in uniform, stood in the training field of the Founder mansion.

The Founder had gained his position due to military power and unparalleled martial art, so his training field was empty and spacious, located in a covert place in a bamboo forest, with fence around it and quipped with all kinds of weapons on the edge of the field which easily accessible.

Standing alone and waiting was very boring. Eyes flickered, he picked up a sword, pointing to the sky and rising in the air.

When Mo Qianxue arrived, what she saw was a purple figure playing a sword, in a flexible gesture and momentum as if nothing could stop him. A faint halo was created around him by the sword wind, and the surrounding trees swung along with him, leaves gurgling out from the tip of his sword to scatter about.

Su Qi was invited here by Mo Qianxue to teach her sword. After yesterday, she deeply had a feeling that the guard team in her mansion wasn’t as powerful as she had imagined.

The guards weren’t thirty percent as good as Asan or Awu. They were really ordinary martial artists, but their military background made them loyal and reliable. And having fought in true wars, they had a special air of solemnity and killing compared with ordinary guards.

She had a reason to ask Su Qi to come and teach her sword.

She could have learned with Ning Shaoqing, but he was too busy, and at the same time, she didn’t want to depend on him for everything.

Also, she could have learned with nanny Mo, Chuyi, Shiwu, or Asan, Awu, but they regarded as lady, a superior and wouldn’t dare to be strict to her or correct her in the strictest manner. The effect wouldn’t be good. More importantly, they weren’t best swordsmen.

Now she already knew how to control her internal qi, and what she needed to learn was how to play sword with the internal qi, which belonged to a higher-level martial art than merely swinging and chopping with swords. Su Qi was different. On that day, she had witnessed him fighting with Ning Shaoqing. Even in that case, although he was in the lower hand, he could still protect the bucket without panicking, obviously not exerting his full strength.

It was hard to tell who would win if he and Ning Shaoqing confronted each other in real terms.

Although Ning Shaoqing tried to avoid Su Qi, it was his narrow-minded jealousy.

There was only friendship between she and Su Qi and nothing else. Besides, she must take this opportunity to uproot Ning Shaoqing’s jealousy temper.

If he didn’t like her to talk with other men, then should she never talk to other men? Then, gradually, should she never meet any other men? In the long run, if he further requested her to follow the ancient female virtues and never walk out of her room, should she do that too?

If that happened, was she still the Mo Qianxue from the modern time? Was she still the one that he liked? By then, would she be able to defend herself? Would she have a say?

No, if that was the case, she was be a filigree flower, looking up to him and listening to his arrangement forever. Then, she would never grow to an arbor to shield out wind and rain for him, to stand at the same altitude and experience the world with him.

Even if he swore to have only her for this time, she wouldn’t believe in an oath. She was a modern instead of ancient person. An oath is an oath when the maker believes in it but a lie when the listener believes in it.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him. What she didn’t trust was this fickle world and the polygamy system. When she had no power, even if he didn’t want to take concubines, there would be loads of people trying every mean to tuck women to him.

However, if she had power, even if others wanted to do so, they would take into consideration her attitude and the consequences.

The divorce rate was high in the modern time, but the couples in the rural areas could accompany each other to the end. Why was that? According to expert research and analysis, it was all because of the fast-moving steps of modern urban people. If one of the couple moved far ahead while the other remained at where they started, they stood at different levels without common topics to share with each other. When one had to look up to the other, the couple was destined to go separate ways.

The reason why a rural couple’s marriage lasted long was that they basically stood at the same level forever and thought about the same issues, equally trivial and worldly about domestic affairs and their village.

Sensing a person came in, Su Qi twisted his sword wind and dashed over sharply.

Mo Qianxue didn’t move, and the sword tip stopped three feet away from her. She came alone, because if she wanted to really learn something, she couldn’t let nanny and others follow her.

Moreover, she knew the rules among martial artists. Su Qi, based on their friendship, agreed to teach her but not her servant girls.

Su Qi pointed the sword at Mo Qianxue’s neck, not taking back but swinging around her cheeks, grinning, “Come one, couldn’t you have a normal woman’s reaction?”

Mo Qianxue held out a hand to push away the sword tip, smiling and asking, “Are you sure you want that?” Then, she made a naughty gesture and opened her mouth wipe to scream.

Su Qi quickly drew the sword, touched his nose and said dully, “Forget it.”

Good that she laughed. She never played cards normally, and he never expected her to act like other girls who, if no martial artists, would either be frightened, panicked, angry, or even pretend to fall on the ground and wait for him to hold her up.

However, if she was one of them, she wouldn’t worth his effort to make her laugh. He only hoped that she could laugh more often.

In view of his depressed expression, Mo Qianxue suspected that her reaction was too calm without a ghost of panic of a lady, which would be a gratification of a naughty boy painstakingly teaching sword.

Yet, she was the one who had invited him to come. How could he really try to kill her? Besides, just now the movement carried no murderousness at all. She wasn’t an ignorant rabbit, okay?

Thinking of this, she reluctantly comforted him, “Come on. Don’t be like this even I wasn’t scarred. After all, you’ll be teaching a beauty. Be professional. Alright?”

The soft tone made Su Qi smiled brighter. He reconfirmed with her, “Before we start, let’s confirm that I teach you sword, and you give me a one-year free supply of seasonings from your factory to all the restaurant under the Su.” Actually, he wanted nothing.

Nevertheless, he knew her too well. If he didn’t ask for anything, she couldn’t let down her guard or allow him to teach her.

To her, this was a deal. Yet, she didn’t know that to him, this was a dream he had been waiting for a long time.

Mo Qianxue gave him a glance, “Deal!”

Su Qi quickly replied, “Deal!”

This scene was pretty much like when she sold the menu to him. The two looked at each other in shock for a second and then burst into laughing at the same time. Obviously the same thing was in their minds.

Afterwards, Su Qi coughed and said complacently, “Tell me. What do you want to learn?”

Mo Qianxue asked, “What do you master?”

Su Qi replied, “A Set!”

Mo Qianxue rolled her eyes. Of course she knew it was a set, “A set of what?”

Su Qi answered unhurriedly, “Its name is A Set. I practiced this before.”

Mo Qianxue snorted a little. These must be many restaurants under the Su family and cost a lot of seasonings each other. So all her staff was for a kind of sword practice with such a stupid name? she knew this man was being playful. Pulling her face, she turned around to leave.

Su Qi stamped his toes and blocked before her, smiling, “Don’t look down upon it. If you learn it well and master agile physical movement, it’s more than enough to defend yourself.”

He didn’t seem to be lying. It’s good to be able to defend herself. More importantly, she planed to blackmail him to teach her lightness kungfu. Therefore, she raised her eyebrows carelessly, “Then, show me first.”
