Chapter 355: Chapter 324: Teachings_1
“Could it be that you’re not instructing me rightly?” Nan Peiyao protested.
“Why don’t you try finding someone else.” Xu Mu retorted indifferently.
“…”
Nan Peiyao was at a loss for words.
If I could find someone else, I wouldn’t be asking your help!
“Fine! Let’s try again!” Nan Peiyao said, in an angry huff.
“Not happening! I’m tired today, let’s resume tomorrow!”
Xu Mu declared, effectively showing her out.
“What do you mean tomorrow? You’ve only been teaching for an hour!” Nan Peiyao complained passionately.
This guy is just getting lazier day by day. He used to teach all day without complaining, and now he whines after teaching just for an hour in three days.
“Who’s fault is it that you’re a slow learner! Don’t you know how energy-consuming it is to teach slow learners?” Xu Mu said lazily.
“I… you…”
Nan Peiyao clenched her teeth, wishing she could give Xu Mu a thorough bashing.
“Are you of the opinion that I’m too nice to you, or that I wouldn’t dare to deal with you? Believe it or not…”
“Cough! Cough! I’m so tired! I can barely breathe!”
After saying that, Xu Mu played dead, ignoring all of Nan Peiyao’s attempts to rouse him. Annoyed to the point of near desperation, Nan Peiyao had no choice but to leave in a huff.
Once she left, Xu Mu suddenly sat up straight, looking at her retreating figure with a strange expression.
“How did this naive girl ever survive till now!”
Xu Mu wondered to himself.
After more than half a year of association, he could see that aside from her stubborn exterior, she was really quite soft at heart: no wonder she was always bullied by that other fellow cultivator.
But then again, considering her isolated location and lofty job position which primarily involved contact with ordinary people, her naive spirit was understandable.
Even the other female cultivator, wasn’t really that much more of an expert, it was simply a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
This was mostly due to her circumstances. She wasn’t actually dim-witted.
“Perhaps this also constitutes a form of happiness!”
Xu Mu laughed self-deprecatingly, deciding to no longer get involved.
As they say, the leopard cannot change its spots. He couldn’t possibly change her personality in a short time.
He had been teaching her alchemy for so long, and when he leaves he will leave her with some resources. That would be enough to repay her for the favor she did by saving his life.
Even if her intentions were not the best, he owed her because her actions effectively saved his life.
Now that his injuries were almost completely healed, all that was left was—
“Big Brother, are you going to teach me today?”
Tian Tian poked his head in and asked shyly.
“Sure thing!” Xu Mu laughed in response.
“That’s great!”
Tian Tian was so excited he nearly leapt up.
The two of them left the courtyard and found a deserted area nearby. Under Xu Mu’s guidance, Tian Tian began practicing his swordsmanship with a wooden rod in his hand.
This set of swordsmanship was the Thunderbolt Sword Skill which Xu Mu once practiced. He had simplified it according to Tian Tian’s abilities.
Since they were in Sea Race’s territory, he couldn’t teach him Qi Cultivation, hence, teaching him this sword skill was a way of repaying their family’s kindness.
Although continuous practice wouldn’t make him a master, it wasn’t difficult for it to ensure robust health and a long life.
“Focus on your breathing…move a bit faster…attitude! Pay attention to your attitude; when your mind is in harmony, results are doubled…”
Xu Mu occasionally corrected Sanya’s mistakes. When we would stop occasionally, he would use spiritual power to clear Sanya’s meridians and alleviate his fatigue.
Considering his limited time, he couldn’t allow Sanya to grow at a slow pace and had to use this method to speed up his training.
Perhaps because of this, Tian Tian, who was originally only five or six years old, had grown significantly in half a year, equivalent to the height of ten-year-old children in the village.
