Chapter 109 - Kung Fu (2/2)

Li Jianyu let out a dragged out “Oh”; it made sense. How could a young girl know Kung Fu… it must have been just a hobby.

He did some stretches to loosen his muscles then ran around the manor. When he came back, he habitually took another look around to find…

She was practicing sword art??

Li Jianyu almost fell face first, his pupils widening in alarm.

The fair skinned and delicate girl was holding a simple longsword. Her swordsmanship had characteristics and form similar to Tai Chi, while her posture remained calm and comfortable, with a graceful style and seemed to emphasize the effortlessness of her actions.

She quivered her wrists, turning the sword to draw a flower in the air, its blade glinting coldly and producing a buzzing sound.

Li Jianyu: …!!

‘F*ck! If this isn’t Kung Fu, then what is?!’

‘Mentor Xiang Yi, is this what you f*cking call exercising to keep fit?!!’

‘With all due respect, if you come running at me with that sword, I will disappear!’

Xiang Yi retracted the sword then inhaled and exhaled. Realizing Li Jianyu had stopped running and was staring at her in a sluggish daze, she tilted her head and asked, “Director Li, I’m going to make breakfast now. Anything you want to eat?”

Li Jianyu shuddered and stepped back. “Mentor Xiang Yi, you are too kind…” He shivered, regretting his words right on the spot. “No, no. Master Xiang Yi, how could I trouble you for such a small thing like breakfast! I’ll do it, I’ll… call takeout! I’ll treat everyone to breakfast!”

Xiang Yi: “…The formal ‘you’? Master? Director Li, are you okay?”

“Ahha, who are you calling Director Li! Just call me Xiao Li, that’s all!!!”

Xiang Yi’s tiny milky face was completely blank.

She was… fascinated.

*Translator’s Note: Li Jianyu uses the formal ‘you’ in this sentence.
