Novel Full “Senior Disciple, please enlighten me.”
With that Luo Qianqian did a back kick, she meant to flex her muscles so she started with a back kick that she had learned when she was back at 21st century.
Murong Xue was the apple of Luo Qianqian’s eye, she didn’t appreciate the way that Sun Zhe treated Murong Xue and the remarks Sun Zhe made about women.
Luo Qianqian knew no way could she beat Sun Zhe, but she felt like she should make a point since she was representing women.
Inside Crescent Kick, Outside Crescent Kick, Flying Back Kick, Jumping Front Kick, Sun Zhe took a few steps back under Luo Qianqian’s attack.
But…
Sun Zhe had been cultivating martial arts since he was a little boy and his body was strong and sturdy, thus he was not overwhelmed or hurt by Luo Qianqian’s kicks.
Luo Qianqian on the other hand was panting after a round of fierce attack like this, Sun Zhe lifted a hand and threw a punch at Luo Qianqian with reserved strength.
Luo Qianqian was hit on the shoulder, she lost balance and fell on the ground.
Unfortunately alongside with her fell, her gown ripped.
No wonder Sun Zhe asked them to get changed, these fancy gowns indeed were not training friendly. Layer of trains inhibited your agility.
Seeing the rip, Luo Qianqian figured she might as well get rid of the outer layer, so she ripped the whole piece of fabric.
That could be interpreted as a controversial move at that time and space, but Luo Qianqian made a point through this move — she was committed to martial arts.
Sun Zhe was shocked, he changed his mind on Luo Qianqian, “You, you’ve got a lot of potential!”
Luo Qianqian showed a faint smile, she had heard the same thing from her taekwondo instructor as well.
“Come on now! Second round! Show me what you’ve got!” said Sun Zhe in excitement.
Luo Qianqian took a deep breath, “Senior Disciple, watch out, I will attack your legs now!”
Hearing that, Sun Zhe soon changed his focus. Luo Qianqian smiled and went directly at his chest!
Sun Zhe was transfixed, “You lied to me!”
Luo Qianqian showed an innocent smile while she was rubbing her hand, “Senior Disciple, haven’t you heard the saying that nothing is too deceitful in a battle? I was not lying, I was being strategic, that’s all.”
Sun Zhe was speechless, he hated to admit it, but Luo Qianqian was right.
“All right, shall we continue the battle?”
“Sure, Senior Disciple, I will attack your legs again, just watch out!”
Sun Zhe reflected on what Luo Qianqian just said, ‘being strategic’, ‘attack my legs again’, ‘Got it, she will attack my torso!’
With that in mind, Sun Zhe guarded his torso with his arms crossed and only to find Luo Qianqian attacked his right shin with a Scissor Kick.
“Continue!” said Sun Zhe in frustration.
“I’m aiming at your shoulders this time!”
With that she threw a punch at Sun Zhe’s face, “Oops, sorry Senior Disciple, didn’t mean to punch your pretty face.”
Luo Qianqian had definitely outplayed this game.
Sun Zhe had never met a competitor like Luo Qianqian, he was not injured or hurt by Luo Qianqian, but he felt so disgraced. A battle was a battle, Luo Qianqian was being strategic, but he blamed himself for falling for her strategy time and again.
He knew the reason why Luo Qianqian even started this battle was to look for justice for Murong Xue, thus he felt even more embarrassed, he should have heard Murong Xue out, maybe Murong Xue had her reasons.
Master Lingtian had taken everything in his view, he was surprised that Luo Qianqian knew a few moves and she actually was wining the battle in a strategic way.
Feng Qing who was resting on a tree witnessed the whole battle as well, he was ready to protect Her Highness if Luo Qianqian really fell behind. But Her Highness was actually enjoying this battle surprisingly.
Luo Qianqian was trying to make a point in the beginning but she was having fun as she was gaining advantage using her strategy, so she was just playing with Sun Zhe now.
Soon Sun Zhe realized that too, he stopped attacking, all his moves were for self-defense.
“Senior Disciple, why did you stop? Are you scared?” asked Luo Qianqian with an innocent smile on the face.
Feng Qing shook his head, he felt like he knew Her Highness well enough to say the more innocent she appeared, the more black belly she actually was.
“Junior, thank you for this battle, let’s call it a day. See you tomorrow.” answered Sun Zhe.
Sun Zhe looked sideways, he was too embarrassed to make any eye contact with Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian looked at him in the eye and said, “Senior Disciple, I know you are a good person, but you can probably try to understand people more in the future and hear people out. Essentially when you are talking to ladies, please have patience.”
Sun Zhe found that oddly familiar, he had heard exactly the same thing from Shu Jian.
Luo Qianqian knew how passionate Murong Xue was about martial arts learning, she was sure Murong Xue would come back, it was just a matter of time.
With that in mind Luo Qianqian raised her head and signaled Feng Qing who was resting on the tree, “Feng Qing, let’s go.”
Then she walked to Master Lingtian and said goodbye.
To return to Murong Xue who had just left the tavern.
Murong Xue’s maid Lvluo had been waiting for her just outside the tavern, seeing her princess in tears, Lvluo sprang up from the chair and rushed to her, “Your Highness, why are you crying? What happened? What can I do for you?”
Sobbing was the reply.
“Your Highness, here is your hankerchief, please don’t cry, seeing you crying makes me in tears too.”
Murong Xue took the hankerchief and wiped the tear stains on her cheeks, “It’s okay Lvluo, there’s nothing you can do about it, it’s fine.”
Lvluo was heartbroken, “I’m so sorry Your Highness, but I’m sure everything is fine and it’s going to get better and better.”
A figure captured Lvluo’s attention.
It was a tall man in an ice blue silk gown with bamboo embroidery on the sleeves, his jade hairpin added more glamour to his flawless skin.
He had a beautiful face too, his features were not as chiseled and arresting as Murong Yun, but his features were more delicate and inviting. He looked like a summer breeze as he walked towards them.
Lvluo was hypnotized.
“Lvluo, what are you staring at?” asked Murong Xue with curiosity.
Lvluo grabbed Murong Xue’s arm and whispered, “It’s Doctor Lin, Your Highness!”
Murong Xue went stiff, she dared not to turn around, she asked Lvluo hastily, “Is my makeup okay?”
Lvluo chuckled, “You look just as beautiful as ever, don’t worry… …”
Murong Xue couldn’t hear anything once she heard she looked beautiful, she was so nervous, she had been looking forward to seeing Doctor Lin. She took a few deep breaths and turned around as naturally as she could, “Doctor Lin, what are the odds? What are you doing here?”
She was supposed to refer Lin Zimo as Brother Zimo just like she referred Su Liancheng as Brother Liancheng, but she refused that since she had a crush on Lin Zimo.
Murong Xue’s eyes were still red and a bit swollen, Lin Zimo asked her with concern, “Are you crying, Xue? What happened?”
Murong Xue shook her head in denial, “No, it’s just it’s so dusty here.”
Lin Zimo didn’t probe into it since Murong Xue didn’t want to talk about it, he just tapped her on her shoulder as comfort.
Seeing the herb medicine packets in Lin Zimo’s hand, Murong Xue asked, “Are you here to see Mrs. Lingtian, Doctor Lin?”
“Yeah, and congratulations, I heard you are Master Lingtian’s disciple now, hoe exciting!”
