”Finished memorizing it? ”To recite the 'Lir of the Hundred Families'!” Qi Wanshi stood up and lightly said.
”Good!” ”Zhao Qiangsun Li Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, Feng Chen Chu Wei Jiang Shen Han Yang, Zhu Qin You Xu, He Lu Shi Zhang, Kong Cao Yan Hua Jin Wei Tao Jiang …” Liu Qi answered as she carried it on her back.
Qi Ling County attentively listened. This little girl was indeed a good seed for reading. After Liu Qi finished reciting, Qi Li repeatedly applauded, ”That's right! ”That's right!”
Liu Qi mischievously made a face, and said with a face full of pride, ”Uncle-master is too kind! It's also because of uncle master's guidance? ” This little girl was truly quick-witted. At such a young age, she could flatter others with her silliness and observation. However, surviving in this manor was really difficult for her.
Qi Dian seemed to have thought of something as he suddenly glanced at Liu Qi and said indifferently, ”You seem to be able to barely pass this test, but I wonder what this martial art of yours is?”
Hearing that she still needed to practice martial arts, a trace of displeasure appeared on Liu Qi's face. She pulled on Qi Lan's sleeve and asked with a troubled expression, ”Which one? You still need to practice martial arts? Martial Uncle! ”Can you …”
Qi Wan County pretended to be angry and threw Liu Qi's small hand away, and said sternly, ”No! There was no room for negotiation! ”If you don't learn kung fu now, don't you know how you will die in the future when you are traveling in the martial arts world?” He could get used to this little girl in other areas, but he definitely could not relax when it came to martial arts. He definitely could not let her get away with it, or else he would harm her.
”Ah?” Was it that serious? ”Martial Aunt Wangfei?” Liu Qi said with an expression of disbelief, as if what his Martial Uncle said was too exaggerated and too serious.
”The martial arts world is filled with blood and gore. Do you think that the title of Zhuge of your master's daughter was earned by mere words? She had relied on what she had learned in her entire life, along with her wisdom and strategy, to practice her martial arts step by step! Do you know how many people in the imperial court are nobles and how many royal relatives are trying to rope you in as a master? Do you know how many people with ulterior motives want your master's life? ” Qi Mu said with a serious expression, Liu Qi shook her head.
”How many people in the imperial court want to win your master over? How many people in the martial arts world want your master's life? ” Qi Wan County said coldly.
”Why? Why do those martial artists want to kill my master? Does my master have enmity with them? ” Liu Qi asked in confusion. She really didn't understand how those martial artists could be so cruel.
”Do you think that they would only kill people if they had a grudge against them? ”With Zhuge dead, whoever kills her will become famous, or perhaps he will be the next female Zhuge or Zhuge!” Qi Wan County thought that at this moment, only by letting Liu Qi understand the ruthlessness of the martial arts world and the cruelty of the people in it, would Liu Qi be able to calm down and practice martial arts properly.
”So, are they doing it for fame and fortune? ”Martial Uncle!” Liu Qi seemed to understand a bit. Killing since ancient times was nothing more than killing for revenge, or for fame, or to get bribed and killed. Compared to the third situation, the first two situations happened more often, making people unable to control themselves.
Qi Wanshi nodded. Liu Qi seemed to understand that the reason why Martial Aunt Wang wanted her to practice martial arts was so that she would be able to move around the Jianghu more skillfully in the future. Thinking up to here, the corner of Liu Qi's mouth raised into a faint smile. ”Martial Uncle! I must study hard! I will definitely not disappoint the hopes that you and Master have placed on me! ”
Qi Wan County looked at the little girl with a smile. ”Then let's start. Prepare to ride on horses …”
Yu Ling Jing came out of his study and passed by the garden. When he saw this scene, he stopped in his tracks and didn't step forward. When he looked at his wife teaching Liu Qi how to cultivate, it was as if he saw the scene where his master had taught him how to cultivate when he was young. His master had often said, ”The legs must be steady, the fists must be fierce, and the punches must have strength …”
”Master! Do you think that's the right thing for me to do? ”
”Yu Ling Jing, how many times have I told you? Don't call me master, call me housekeeper.”
”Housekeeper?”
”...”
Yu Ling Jing's thoughts were brought back to reality by his wife Qi Wan's loud voice, and he once again looked at the two practicing their martial arts under the pavilion.
”Liu Qi, what you're doing isn't right? ”Look at me!” As Qi Wanli spoke, he gave Liu Qi a demonstration. Seeing his wife and Liu Qi being so close like a teacher and a friend, as well as a sister, Yu Lingjing was very envious. His master, on the other hand, was always protecting him like a servant. This feeling made Yu Lingjing's heart feel a tinge of sadness.
Since his wife liked Liu Qi, he would let them be together. As long as his wife was happy, she would teach Liu Qi how to read and write, she would teach martial arts, and as long as she was happy, everything else mattered.
At noon, Qi Wan County had taught Liu Qi the way of cultivation. After the two finished their lunch, they happily left the mansion.
