Chapter 20: A Prodigy in Kendo

Su Jiu didn’t know how Cang Qianxue brought him back to his room.

“Uncle Master?”

Her eyes slightly opened, her whole body swayed twice, her legs went limp, and she sat on the ground again.

[Ah——How embarrassing! ]

Su Jiu’s face turned red, and he hurriedly got up from the ground, trying to explain: “Uncle Master, actually my physical strength is not that bad, it’s just that the poison has taken effect these two days…”

Cang Qianxue sat on a chair and slowly poured a cup of tea. Occasionally, she turned her head to look at her with a smile, but her eyes said, “See if I believe you or not.”

Su Jiu was wilting.

“Well, my physical strength is just poor.” She had no choice but to give up.

[Yes, yes, yes, I am a waste, so what? Do you have the guts to beat me? ]

Cang Qianxue’s mouth twitched and she stood up with the teacup in her hand.

Su Jiu quickly looked up at him.

[No, you’re not really going to hit me, are you? ]

Cang Qianxue discovered that this little girl would become restless and always mutter about something as long as she was not doing her work.

He leaned over slightly, handed her the warm tea in his hand, and said softly, “Here, have a cup of tea. You just sweated a lot.”

Su Jiu was stunned for a moment, blinked, and it took him a while to react.

“Oh——” She took the teacup and said quickly, “Thank you, uncle.”

Cang Shanxue smiled but didn’t say anything. After she finished her tea, he took the cup from her hand, helped her up, and pointed to a chair beside her.

“sit.”

Su Jiu wanted to say something polite, but her legs were shaking madly from exhaustion, so she had no choice but to sit down.

Cang Qianxue poured another cup of tea and pushed it in front of her, then poured himself a cup, but did not drink it. She just played with it in her hand, watching Su Jiu sip the tea with his eyelashes drooping.

Su Jiu was now really hungry, tired, thirsty and sleepy.

After drinking two cups of tea, he looked up again. He didn’t know where Cangshanxue got it from, but with a wave of his long sleeves, a table full of steaming, delicious food appeared on the table.

Su Jiu’s eyes almost popped out.

“This, this, this–” She looked up at Cang Qianxue.

[What is this? Tell me what this is? Is it a fan——Oh my god, I love Master Cang, I declare that Master Cang is the most awesome! Daddy boyfriend, absolutely amazing! ]

[Alas, what a pity, if it weren’t for——]

Hearing her sigh and regret again, Cang Qianxue quickly handed her the bowl and said with a smile: “Come, eat.”

Stop saying those nonsense.

Su Jiu’s thoughts were interrupted, and she didn’t care to think about it anymore.

If I think about it any more, I’ll really starve to death.

She took the bowl and tried to act polite and reserved at first, but once she tasted the food, she forgot all about being polite and reserved.’

[I’m eating! I’m eating! I’m eating like crazy! Woo—so delicious, I’m so sick of Qian Yuan Sect’s bland potato and sauerkraut noodles, I want to eat meat, lots of meat!]

[Slurp slurp—this is delicious!]

[Slurp slurp—this is delicious too!]

Cang Qiansxue finished his meal with her inner voice echoing in his ears.

He thought he would be too annoyed to eat, but he found himself eating more than usual without realizing it.

Su Jiu wasn’t just full, she was stuffed.

She slumped in her chair, patted her round belly, and grunted like a little pig basking in the sun.

[I’m so full… My stomach hurts.]

Cang Qiansxue couldn’t bear to look at her.

How could he have thought that Shen Wangchen’s little disciple was quiet and well-behaved, with the demeanor of a noble lady?

Look at her now!

Cang Shanxue complained, but he still took out a bottle of pills and handed them to Su Jiu.

Su Jiu was stunned, “Huh?” She tried to pull in her stomach and sit up straight, “Uncle Master, this is…”

Cang Shanxue smiled, “Uncle Master sees that you’ve eaten a bit too much. This pill can help you digest and won’t make you gain weight.”

Su Jiu’s eyes lit up.

[There’s such a good thing? Give it to me!]

She said, “Oh, no, Uncle Master? This medicine must be very expensive, right? I dare not accept it…”

But her hand had already taken the bottle, poured out a pill, and popped it into her mouth.

The pill melted in her mouth, leaving a faint sweetness.

[Delicious!]

Cang Qiansxue didn’t know what expression to make.

After tea and food, Su Jiu started to feel sleepy. She yawned wildly, her eyes misty.

“Uncle Master, do you have anything else… Ah—” She covered her mouth.

Cang Qiansxue cleared the table of leftovers. Seeing her sleepy and unable to keep her eyes open, he narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice.

“Little Su Jiu, tell Uncle Master, where did you get the Three-Day Red Face?”

Su Jiu’s mind was already blank. She was slow for a while, “Three-Day Red Face…”

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, her eyes narrowed into a slit as she looked at Cang Qiansxue.

Why was his face so close to her?

So close…

His breath was falling on Su Jiu’s face.

“Three-Day Red Face, it’s…”

Su Jiu nodded and said in a firm voice, “It’s for sleeping with Master, but I didn’t get to sleep with him. No, don’t kill me…”

After saying that, she immediately fell asleep on the table, even snoring.

Cang Qiansxue’s expression changed again and again. After a long time, he couldn’t help but laugh.

This little brat, she’s teasing him!

Looking at Su Jiu, who was fast asleep on the table, Cang Shanxue wasn’t so unrefined as to wake her up.

To be honest, he was already surprised that Su Jiu had been able to practice the nine sword techniques with him from beginning to end ten times this morning.

He thought she would give up.

But when she really got into it, she was able to reach a state of unity between man and sword. The people and things around her seemed to no longer exist in her eyes.

In her eyes and heart, there was only the sword.

This kind of spirit is very suitable for learning swordsmanship.

Cang Shanxue had to admit that Shen Wangchen had found a very good swordsmanship prodigy.
