Chapter 109 Training (2/2)
In the days following, Lan You Nian trained with the others.What was different was that when they encountered difficulties or danger, she didn’t intervene.When sharp barbs poked through Lan Wu’s side and making it bleed, Lan You Nian who was standing beside her could have reached out a hand to pull her out, but Lan You Nian didn’t.Lan Wu was screaming from pain but she didn’t ask their young miss to save her.
In the end, Lan Wu used her own hands to grab onto the stones around the trap and climb out step by one.By the time Lan Wu climbed out of the trap, a layer of skin was worn away from both her hands, her fingers were scraped with big and small blisters.Lan Wu didn’t feel hurt because young miss didn’t save her.Instead, she laughed.Because she was a step stronger, a step closer to young miss.
The bloody from Lan Wu’s body still flowed but she still stood in front of Lan you Nian, calling out happily, “Young miss!”
Lan You Nian understood her happiness.She was even more moved by her loyalty but there was no change in her expression.She only handed a wound medicine to her and then went to rest.Afterwards, some guards asked Lan Wu, was she angry that young miss treated her like this?At that time, Lan Wu replied like this, “Why be angry?I am young miss’s servant girl.Whether it’s death or living, they belong to young miss.If young miss saved me, after I leave, I will probably die in enemy hands, who will save me at that time?”
Lan Wu’s words made people understand Lan You Nian’s intentions.To follow her, there would be many dangers along the road.If they can’t even pass this, then in the future, they can’t escape the word death.It was better for them to die here and save young miss from worrying about them.
You can say Lan You Nian is indifferent or that she is cruel, but you can’t say she is heartless because everything she did, when wasn’t it in consideration of these people?
At the beginning everyone were tired from this high intensity training.Their whole body was weak.However towards the end, everyone’s spirits became better.Their response to attacks became more skilled.Every one found their own tactic of living in the forest.
On the very last day, everyone’s spirit was tense.After several days of training everyone was changed from the inside out.The guards’ bodies more tough and strong while Lan Wu and Lan Qu lost the softness of a female in their brows.
On the last day, what met them was a fight they had never experienced before.In the previous times, although they were attacked by many people, but those people didn’t intent to kill.Today it was different.These people really wanted to kill them.
“See there?As long as you reach that spot, you can escape the pursuit.We’ll see the final results of your training!” Lan You Nian said and then found a clean area to spar with Gui Er.
“Second brother seems to have become stronger!” The corner of Lan You Nian’s lips was punched by Gui Er but her eyes was still full of intense interest.
“I said I will protect little junior sister.Of course I will become stronger”! Gui Er was a fair fighter.Although he ached for Lan You Nian, he didn’t throw the match.
Lan You Nian’s smile became more cheerful.She recalled that in the past Gui Er’s martial arts weren’t that good.One time, he saw her come back injured and his heart ached.He promised to improve his martial arts to protect her.She didn’t expect second brother still remembered.
The two enthusiastically sparred.Because they didn’t use internal force, they just used fists and feet, so it was hard to avoid some surface injuries.
Meanwhile, the others were still struggling.Some were injured under Wu Qing Pavilion’s pursuit.After a while, already half of them were injured.But what pleaded Lan You Nian was that they didn’t run to the area of safety.Instead, they depended on each other and didn’t give up.
Amongst them, there was one guard who was gravely injured.Now, not only couldn’t he help the others, he was starting to drag everyone back.To Zhang Lin, he said, “Leader Zhang, you guys leave!If no one leave, everyone will die.This will only let down young miss’s intention to train us!”
Zhang Lin didn’t give up.The others didn’t give up.Even Lan Wu and Lan Qu didn’t give up.The uninjured people dragged an injured person over to the place of safety.Because they must carry the injured people as well as defend against attack, many more people were injured.
Gradually one person, two people, three people, one by one, they ran to Lan You Nian’s indicated safe area.The last one to arrive was Zhang Lin.His body was littered with many wounds.But he did his duty as leader and led everyone to pass the training.
Lan You Nian and Gui Er finished sparring and stood in front of everyone.Every injured and uninjured person stood up, standing up straight, looking at the girl in front of them, their master, their young miss, the person they will follow from now on.
Every one of their skin were much darker.Only Lan You Nian’s skin was still white after fifteen days.They were different now.They were truly one of Lan You Nian’s guards.
“Congratulations, pass!” Lan You Nian’s exquisite face suddenly burst into a bright smile, that smile was clean like spring water, soft as it plunged through the heart.
“YAY!“AH!” exclamations of excitement resounded in the forest.It has only been fifteen days but they felt like several years have passed.However, it was all worth it.
