This is a master, a real master!
"You give it a try." The old Marquis stopped his moves and tossed the Red-Tasseled Spear to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao smoothly caught it.
In her previous life, she had too little contact with cold weapons. Besides daggers, there were surgical knives. Suddenly, she was handed a Red-Tasseled Spear, and she was a bit gobsmacked.
Her first move was done incorrectly.
Whether it was Gu Changqing or any soldier under the Marquis, he would have already thrashed them with a whip.
But in front of her little brother Gu, the Marquis seemed to have extraordinary patience, he himself didn’t know what was going on.
When Gu Jiao made a mistake for the seventh time, the Marquis couldn’t control his temper.
Gu Jiao looked at him with innocent eyes, with an endearing touch.
Marquis: "..."
Alright, alright, she’s still young, just teach slowly.
"I’ll demonstrate it to you one last time, watch carefully, and if you make another mistake, I won’t teach you anymore."
By the eighteenth demonstration ——
"This really, really is the last time!"
The Marquis was about to collapse!
This kid was here to torment him, right?!
Why could she learn so quickly with her bare hands, but couldn’t get the hang of a single Red-Tasseled Spear?!
Just as the Marquis was almost spitting blood, Gu Jiao managed to clumsily complete a whole set of spear techniques.
The Marquis collapsed on the ground, feeling on the verge of collapse!
Who exactly was training whom here?
Why on earth did he go out of his way to teach this kid how to practice martial arts?
He nearly lost his life because of it!
"That’s...that’s it for today!"
His arms and legs were about to break, his waist was sprained.
But Gu Jiao wasn’t done yet.
She had tasted the sweetness of success.
However, seeing that he really looked like he was about to fall over, out of her conscience, she decided not to push him any further.
She took out a little notebook, and swiftly wrote: How about we practice again next time? freewёbnoνel.com
Marquis’s temples twitched wildly!
Next time?
There’s going to be a next time?
Marquis outright refused!
Gu Jiao thought for a moment, put out two tiny fingers as white as jade, gently held onto his sleeve, and those pair of innocent watery phoenix eyes under the mask looked innocently at him.
The Marquis vaguely mm-hmm’d a response.
Gu Jiao shook her head happily.
The Marquis looked at the little head shaking in front of him, and inexplicably wanted to tease!
Of course, he barely managed to restrain himself.
Because he thought it was wrong to tease his own brother.
This scene was all witnessed by Gu Chengfeng who was tailing Gu Jiao.
If others couldn’t recognize Gu Jiao, could he fail to recognize her?
He was the one who introduced Gu Jiao to the martial arts academy, and God knows how many times he had conspired with Gu Jiao in a mask!
Speaking of... so his grandfather is into this kind of thing?
With his grandfather’s temper, he thought that girl would be beaten into a pile of fertilizer!
Gu Chengfeng followed Gu Jiao because he had found some clues about Xianle Inn. He planned to sell the news to this girl, and he won’t rip her off, the family price, a thousand taels!
But who would have expected this girl to play with their grandfather for so long today. It seems there’s no chance to talk about it today.
Nevermind, it’d be the same if he found her another day.
Gu Chengfeng returned to the Marquis Residence.
Not long after, the old Marquis also returned.
He was exhausted.
Teaching Gu Changqing wasn’t this tiring because he could beat Gu Changqing at will, but that kid... he, he couldn’t bear to do it.
As a result, he suffered internal injuries from frustration.
"Grandfather!"
