In the late spring, it was getting hot and humid, but the well was quite cool. Ning Que was sitting on it, waving a kitchen knife in his hand and talking cheerfully.
Sangsang hung up the clothes on the clothesline and wiped her hands on her apron. She walked back to the wall and picked up the brush to complete the last piece. ”How will you do it?”
Ning Que stood up and walk beside her. He pointed at something beside the wall and said, ”Beat him, and then let him die.”
Sangsang put down the brush and turned around to look at him with a confused expression.
Beside the wall was a wooden man with a base and a black pan on his head which was carved by Ning Que and painted by Sangsang.
”In order to beat him to death, I have to hit his body. It means I have to break through his defense.”
Ning Que said this whilst pointing the knife at the sculpture's head. Then he scratched his arm with the knife. Blood began to pour out from the wound.
”Since I inherited Youngest Uncle's legacy, as you can see, I have had an unbelievable strong body. You have no idea, as a former member of the Devil's Doctrine, Xia Hou has unimaginable body strength.”
He stretched his arm out to Sangsang and explained.
Sangsang filled up a bowl of water to wash his arm and then covered it with a handkerchief.
While she was doing this, Ning Que continued, ”Since Xia Hou betrayed the Devil's Doctrine, joined the Haotian Taoism, and became a visiting professor of the West-Hill Divine Palace, they want to cover for him. Maybe they have taught the secret skills of Martial Arts cultivation to him.”
”Infact, that's a certainty.”
He looked at the black painting on the sculpture and said, ”Xia Hou can envelop his body with the Qi of Heaven and Earth concentrated by his Psyche Power. That defense is like the painting on the sculpture.”
”The most troublesome thing is his armor.”
Ning Que knocked the black pan on its head with the knife and listened to the noise.
All the four generals' armors are made in the Academy. Xia Hou's is designed by Professor Huang He and made by the Fourth Brother and the Sixth Brother together. Perhaps it's not so hard as Xu Shi's, but it is still incredibly powerful.
”The armor, the protective Genuine Qi, and his strong body are the three things which protect him all day and night, and even my Primordial Thirteen Arrows cannot break through them.”
Sangsang could not understand his humor.
She thought of the attitude of the Academy and said worriedly, ”Assassinating the Great General of the Empire, even the Academy would not allow you to do that.”
Ning Que said, ”When did I say I'm going to assassinate him?”
Sangsang asked, ”Why don't we expose the relationship between Xia Hou and the Devil's Doctrine?”
”I promised Eldest Brother I would not tell anybody.”
”That includes his relationship with the Queen.”
Sangsang said, ”But you told me.”
Ning Que said, ”You are not anybody.”
Sangsang nodded and said, ”That's true.”
After a moment later, she thought about the auction held in the Stone House and asked, ”You still have not figured out how to deal with Xia Hou, so why do you offend the Crown Prince of South Jin Kingdom?”
Ning Que did not know what to say to her since he couldn't tell her that the only reason was because he was angry that the Crown Prince wanted to please the Calligraphy Addict with his Chicken Soup Calligraphy.
Therefore, he changed the subject. ”How did you used to see a cultivator?”
Sangsang remembered the conversation between him and her when they were kids in the City of Wei and the burnt Article on the Response of the Tao . She said, ”At that time, they were Gods to us.”
Ning Que said, ”Then I am a God now. We are Gods.”
Sangsang smiled happily.
Ning Que said with a smile, ”I'm not afraid of the Crown Prince of Tang, let alone the one of South Jin Kingdom.”
Sangsang reminded him, ”There is no Crown Prince in Tang...”
Ning Que sighed and said, ”That is another problem.”

...
In the back of the mountain behind the Academy, under the waterwheel.
The Fourth Brother, the Sixth Brother, and Ning Que were sitting in a trance by the side of the stream.
Some time passed by.
