The grandfather nodded proudly. I twitched my eyebrows; Yue Buqun was supposed to be a middle-aged hypocrite, but now he’s an old man? I looked at the grandmother, whose face was wrinkled but still heroic, and asked: “Madam, are you Ning Zhongze, the sect leader’s wife?”
Ning Zhongze raised her chin, indicating I was correct. I almost crashed into a wall—wasn’t she supposed to be incredibly virtuous? I thought maybe she was still a good person. More importantly, how did I end up in “Laughing in the Martial World”? The era seems wrong!
Grandmother Ning stared at me, “Girl, if you follow me, you’ll definitely be successful in the martial world!” Grandfather Yue pushed Ning aside, looking even more radiant: “Girl, following her is useless! Follow me, and Grandpa will train you to be a martial arts master!”
I can teach you the ‘Gentleman’s Sword Technique’…”
I wiped the sweat from my forehead. Grandmother Ning bumped Grandfather Yue aside, “The Gentleman’s Sword Technique isn’t suitable for a girl! You should learn the ‘Ladylike Sword Technique’!” My brain short-circuited, repeating these four words.
Great heavens! These four words are so attractive! My eyes sparkled, “Grandma! I’ve decided to follow you! You must teach me the Ladylike Sword Technique!!!” Grandmother Ning proudly glanced at the astonished Grandfather Yue, then looked at me, “No problem! I’ll definitely nurture you well!”
Qingping covered her mouth with her sleeve, laughing meaningfully, thinking, “Truly worthy of the woman who can move Baoxie, she’s really special…”
To become a lady, I practiced the ‘Ladylike Sword Technique’ madly with Grandmother Ning. Though I knew practicing this technique might not necessarily make me a lady, who would give up on even a slight hope?!
“Girl, wrong. Straight thrust, use force, with softness within rigidity, don’t be hasty,” Grandmother Ning corrected me. I held the heavy sword, sweat streaming, mentally chanting: I want to be a lady, I want to be a lady…
Until after each sword practice, my hand would cramp, unable to hold chopsticks, with Qingping feeding me.
