233 The Banque (1/2)

If you gave a normal person an ancient martial arts method, they would probably not know how to practice it. Even if they tried to practice it by mimicking it, they would not achieve much.

Qin Xiaoyou was considered an absolute talent, as she seemed to have an innate ability for practice. She could comprehend things that she had clearly not come into contact with before. That ability to comprehend was strange, sometimes even unexplainable.

Because of this, Mo Wen prepared to properly develop Qin Xiaoyou, thinking that maybe one day he could train an absolute master! After all, the Nine Yin Scripture was originally a peerless martial arts method. Since Qin Xiaoyou was so compatible with practicing the Nine Yin Scripture, her future was certainly not going to be a simple one. Of course, she first had to be willing to continue to practice hard, not just practice for fun.

After a night, Mo Wen explained the fundamental basics of practice to Qin Xiaoyou. Naturally, the things he lectured on the first day would not be too difficult. He did not want to spoil things by undue haste, teaching her too many advanced things from the start.

As everything had its cycle of gradual improvement to persevere and last, practice was also like this. So, Mo Wen requested that Qin Xiaoyou move out and live outside the school in the future. This made it more convenient for him to instruct her every day.

Qin Xiaoyou had no objections to such an arrangement. Instead, she very enthusiastically agreed. Mo Wen was very satisfied with Qin Xiaoyou's taking it seriously.

The next morning, Mo Wen and Qin Xiaoyou went to school for classes, just as they did before. Then, they finished classes and went home together. When he had time, Mo Wen would instruct Qin Xiaoyou in her practice. As such, the following three days were spent productively.

To Mo Wen's surprise, Qin Xiaoyou was especially diligent in her practice. It was completely different from what he had imagined.

Before this, Qin Xiaoyou did not like to practice. She seemed uninterested in things that involved fighting and killing. But now, it was as though she was a different person. Every day she was very hardworking, practicing once she had the time. Otherwise, she would research the way of martial arts, or ask Mo Wen for guidance.

Seeing this naturally made Mo Wen very happy. If she could become an ancient martial arts practitioner, it meant that Qin Xiaoyou would be able to sufficiently protect herself in the future. He would not need to worry so much.

Normally, aside from practice, Qin Xiaoyou also liked to arrange the flowers and plants in the small courtyard. Otherwise, she would decorate their rooms. Later, she began to cook by herself, becoming more and more like a housewife.

Mo Wen still rarely went to school for classes, because classes to him were a waste of time. But Qin Xiaoyou insisted on going, never skipping classes and remaining a good student in the eyes of the teachers.

Mo Wen lay on a wicker chair in the small courtyard, looking through the green leaves at the sunset outside. He was enjoying the leisure of the evening.

Qin Xiaoyou had gone to school. At this time, she was most likely almost home.

He spent the time for classes on practice. In reality, Qin Xiaoyou was diligent at practice, but Mo Wen's practice was even moreso. Xiaoyou had no pressure on her, but Mo Wen did.

When he had the leisure time, he had researched all of the Ming Cult's martial arts teachings that he had inherited. He was especially focused on the practice of magnum opuses, like The Heaven and Earth Great Shift and Tai Yin Claws.

However, Mo Wen's current cultivation was too low. He had no way of practicing some of the Ming Cult's magnum opuses. The Tai Yin Claws was one such magnum opus that he could not practice. Most likely, he had to reach the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm, only then could he master it.

After all, the Tai Yin Claws was a magnum opus that the Ming Cult's Sacred Maiden could only practice at the Embryonic Breathing realm. His current self, compared to the Embryonic Breathing realm, was still too far off.

As for The Heaven and Earth Great Shift, he had practiced till the fourth stage, having made considerable progress. But the fifth stage was a bit difficult. Maybe, when his cultivation was high enough, he could gradually master it.

”Mo Wen, did you know that Wang Yuan from our class has found a girlfriend? Weren't the two of you close?”

Qin Xiaoyou walked into the small courtyard, carrying a little bag. Seeing Mo Wen lying on the wicker chair, she smiled and said this. Back in the days of their military training, Mo Wen's and Wang Yuan's relationship seemed to be quite good. However, after that, Mo Wen frequently skipped classes, disappearing every day, so their communications became few and far between.

”Wang Yuan found a girlfriend? Didn't the brat like you? Back then, he was chasing after you. He seems to have said something along the lines of not wanting to marry anyone else but you. How is it that he has broken faith so quickly?”

Mo Wen laughed and said. Back then, Wang Yuan had spent quite a while thinking about Qin Xiaoyou, but Qin Xiaoyou did not bother with him in the slightest. In the end, he could only become a tragic side character.

”What are you saying? You have nothing nice to say! It's as though you wish that he was chasing after me.”

Qin Xiaoyou rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. In reality, after their military training ended, Wang Yuan had not really contacted her.

”What kind of girlfriend did he find?” Mo Wen asked out of curiosity.

”A senior sister from the Chinese Department. She is quite a gentle and quiet person.”

Qin Xiaoyou dropped her bag in her room, then carried a basin of clear water out, minding her own business as she watered the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

”He managed to get a senior sister? That guy is incredible. Is the senior sister beautiful?”

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows., wondering aloud. After all, school had barely begun and he had already hooked up with a girlfriend!

”She is okay, quite delicate and pretty.”

Qin Xiaoyou tilted her head in deep thought, then glared at Mo Wen, saying, ”Why do you care whether she is beautiful or not?”

”I'm just curious.”

Mo Wen laughed dryly. He truly was just a bit curious. After all, he did not consider Wang Yuan to be a very charming man. He was incompetent in many ways. Back then, when he was trying to hook up with Qin Xiaoyou, his combat power was too low.

”Tonight, Wang Yuan is treating us to dinner. He said that I must drag you along. So, tonight I did not buy groceries. If you want to have dinner, you will just have to follow me.”
