Chapter - 164 The Perfect Plan Was Just a Dream (5) (1/2)

The masters, husband and wife, talked with three young people for a while. ”Pa, Ma,” Zhu Jiuzhen said, ”I am going out to play with Biaoge and Qing Mei [younger sister Qing]!” Her voice carried a thirty-percent little spoiled girl's tone. The masters smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Zhu said with a laugh, ”Take good care of Wu Jia Meizi [little sister of the Wu family], you, three teenagers, must not quarrel among yourselves in this New Year's Day.”

Zhu Jiuzhen laughed. ”Ma,” she said, ”Why don't you tell Biaoge not to bully me?”

The three young people were talking and walking toward the rear courtyard. Without realizing it, Zhang Wuji followed from a distance. That day the servants had the freedom to do whatever they liked; some went out to play, some went out to gamble. By this time Zhang Wuji had seen clearly that the young man was quite handsome, his body was as beautiful as jade. Even in a cold day like this, he was only wearing thin yellow satin clothes; obviously his internal energy was not weak.

The other girl was wearing a black sable coat. Her figure was slender and graceful, her words and actions were refined. Speaking of grace and beauty, she was comparable to Zhu Jiuzhen, but in Zhang Wuji's eyes, she was nothing compared to the Miss he venerated as a goddess. All three of them were about seventeen, eighteen years of age.

The three of them were walking and talking and laughing toward the rear courtyard. ”Zhen Jie [older sister Zhen],” the other girl said, ”Have you trained your Yi Yang Zhi [solitary yang finger] skill to the second level? Would you demonstrate it to broaden Meizi's [younger sister] horizon?”

”Aiyo!” Zhu Jiuzhen said, ”You don't want me to look good, do you? Even if I trained for ten more years, I would never surpass one stroke of your Wu family's 'lan hua xue shou' [orchid acupoint brushing technique].”

The young man said with a laugh, ”The two of you need not to be modest. The great name of 'Xue Ling Shuang Shu' [Two Beauties of the Snowy Range] possesses an impressive power and prestige.”

Zhu Jiuzhen said, ”Being alone in my home, I blindly think through this, how can I surpass your rapid advancement, Shi Xiong Mei [martial (older) brother and (younger) sister], who can consult and discuss between the two of you? Today you came to see the stance, tomorrow you compare notes, doesn't that mean 'a thousand 'li' in one day'?”

The other girl could hear the vinegar [meaning 'jealousy'] in her voice; she simply pursed her lips without saying anything, but in doing so, she tacitly agreed with what she was saying.

The young man was afraid Zhu Jiuzhen would get angry for real. ”That's not necessarily true,” he quickly said, ”You have two Shifus, with Jiufu and Jiumu both teaching you, won't you be stronger than we are?”

Zhu Jiuzhen angrily said, ”What do you mean by 'we'? Humph, of course you love your Shimei more than your Biaomei. Whenever I am playing with Qing Mei, you are always in her side.” While saying that, she turned her head away, no longer paid any attention to him.

Accompanied by a smile, the young man said, ”I love my Biaomei, I also love my Shimei. My palm is part of my body, as much as the back of my hand, there is no difference between one and another. Biaomei, why don't you take me to see those guard generals of yours? Certainly you have trained those generals to be fiercer and fiercer.”

”Alright!” Zhu Jiuzhen started to feel happy; she led them toward the Ling Ao Ying.
