Chapter 384 - Looking Down on Others!

Chu Luo listened to them talk for a while and was about to go to the villa at the back to do an experiment. However, just as she walked into the courtyard, she received a call from Anya.

Actually, Anya had already walked to the area outside their villa, but she was blocked by the array and couldn’t enter. Hence, she called Chu Luo.

Chu Luo walked out of the villa and looked at Anya, who was circling the area. She raised her arm and the array opened a door. Anya saw Chu Luo.

“Chu, it’s too difficult for me to come here.”

Chu Luo glanced at her attire and was a little surprised. “What are you planning to do?”

Anya was wearing an English costume today and looked especially efficient.

“I’m learning martial arts.” She didn’t want what happened last night to happen again. As a princess, she had to have the ability to protect herself.

Chu Luo nodded in agreement and asked, “Since you’re learning martial arts, why did you come to my place?”

Anya frowned and looked vexed. “My guards are too respectful to me. It’s useless for them to teach me, so I thought of coming here to borrow a martial arts expert to teach me.”

Chu Luo thought for a while. “You’re a princess. Normal people definitely won’t dare to do anything to you…”

Anya immediately replied, “Then lend me someone who dares to not go easy on me.”

“Alright, I’ll ask the butler.”

The two of them entered the villa together.

Coincidentally, the butler walked over from the side and Chu Luo stopped him.

The butler walked over and asked, “Miss Chu, what instructions do you have?”

Chu Luo pointed at Anya. “Anya wants to borrow someone with good martial arts skills to teach her martial arts.”

Anya quickly replied, “I want someone who won’t go easy on me just because I’m a princess.”

The butler thought for a while and said awkwardly, “It’s not impossible if Princess Anya really wants to borrow someone. But if you accidentally get injured…”

Anya immediately swore. “I won’t blame the person who taught me if I’m injured.”

The butler nodded and planned to look for a female bodyguard.

At this moment, Qin Ming happened to walk out of the door.

When he saw the three of them standing here, he walked over and asked Anya, “Why are you here?”

Anya snorted at him. “I’m not here for you.”

Qin Ming looked at the butler.

The butler told him, “Princess Anya wants to learn martial arts. She’s here to borrow someone.”

When Qin Ming heard this, he turned around and sized up Anya before saying expressionlessly, “You won’t be able to learn it.”

Anya was furious. She strode up to him and puffed up her chest when she was very close to him. “Why can’t I learn it!”

At this moment, Qin Ming took a small step back and lowered his eyes to glance at a certain spot. He was still expressionless. “You have to start learning martial arts from a young age. You’re already so big.”

Anya was really angry this time. She took another big step towards him and they almost touched each other. She raised her voice and questioned, “I’m only 22 years old. How am I big? How am I big!”

Qin Ming lowered his eyes and spat out one word. “Chest.”

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the door.

Chu Luo walked up to the fossilized Anya and subconsciously glanced at her X. She wondered how girls from abroad could develop so well.

Then, she waved her hand in front of Anya’s eyes and reminded her, “Wake up.”

Anya abruptly came back to her senses and was angry and embarrassed. “What does that smelly blockhead mean by that? Can’t I learn martial arts if my X is big? He’s looking down on me!”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She made a decision. “No, I can’t take this lying down.”

She then said to the butler, “You don’t have to help me look for it. I want that smelly blockhead to teach me.”

“Erm…”

“Don’t say no. I want him to teach me. Tell him to come over early tomorrow morning.”

Anya made a willful decision and angrily walked out of the door.

She had just taken two steps when she suddenly thought of something. She stopped and turned around. “Tell that smelly blockhead that if he doesn’t come, I’ll come over to bug him every day. Unless he doesn’t come here anymore.”

After saying that, she turned and left.

The butler looked at the departing Anya and suddenly wished that she could change the stubborn Qin Ming. Therefore, he decided to stand on Anya’s side.

…

The next morning, Chu Luo opened her eyes to see Li Yan standing by the window making a call.

When Li Yan saw that Chu Luo had woken up, he hung up.

Seeing his expression darkened, Chu Luo sat up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“A few people from the royal family of several countries have already arrived there. Someone brought a mage over. They’ve bumped into the Qin family these past two days.”

Chu Luo found it a little strange. “What does the Qin family plan to do?”

“Alliance with that group of people.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she suddenly frowned. “In that case, wouldn’t it be difficult for your people to bring that Gu Master over?”

“Mm, the Duanmu family has also sent people over these past two days. They are very guarded. Moreover, with the Western mages around, it won’t be easy for my people to get close.”

Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “I’ll draw a few talismans later. Get someone to send them over so that we can deal with the foreign mages.”

“Okay.”

After Chu Luo got out of bed and washed up, she went to the study to draw a few talismans for Li Yan and the two of them walked downstairs.

It was still early. Li Yan asked the butler, “Where’s Qin Ming?”

The butler pointed outside the door.

Qin Ming was practicing in the courtyard.

The butler said, “I’ll go get him.”

“Wait.” When Chu Luo saw Qin Ming, she remembered what Anya had said yesterday and asked the butler, “Is Anya here?”

The butler shook his head. “No.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, just as he finished speaking, his phone rang.

The butler took out his phone and saw the caller ID. He said to Chu Luo, “It’s from Princess Anya.”

Chu Luo smiled. “She must be asking you to bring her in.”

The butler swiped his phone to answer the call. Indeed, Anya was calling to get him to pick her up.

The butler glanced at Li Yan.

Li Yan didn’t care about this at all.

Chu Luo said, “Then go and bring Anya in. Otherwise, she’ll have to call me later.”

The butler nodded and walked out.

Chu Luo and Li Yan also walked out.

When Qin Ming, who was practicing, saw the two of them walk out, he stopped.

Li Yan handed him a few talismans. “Send someone to deliver these talismans over there immediately.”

Chu Luo told him how to use these talismans.

After Qin Ming noted it down, he placed his finger to his lips and whistled.

Soon, a bird that looked like an eagle but wasn’t one flew over. He placed the talisman in the copper pipe tied to the bird’s leg and patted its head. “Send it to Hu Cheng.”

The bird sentiently pecked the back of his hand and flew away.

The bird had just flown away when the butler led Anya in.

Seeing the three people standing in the courtyard, Anya walked over and said to Li Yan, “Li, I’ll borrow your subordinate for an hour.”

After saying that, she turned to look at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming looked back at her expressionlessly.

Anya announced, “From today onwards, you must teach me martial arts for an hour every morning.”

Qin Ming opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Anya raised her voice to stop him from saying it. “Take it as compensation for knocking into me last time.”

Qin Ming silently looked at her for a few seconds before nodding. “Sure.”

Chu Luo looked at Anya, who had a smug glint flicker across her eyes, and asked her, “Anya, where do you plan to learn?”

Anya wanted to reply where she lived.

Qin Ming was the first to speak. “Here. I have a mission and will leave at any time.”

Anya thought for a while and felt that it didn’t matter where she learnt it. In any case, she was sincere in wanting to learn Imperial martial arts, to prevent the situation from the previous night from happening again.

“Sure.”

Since it was decided, the two of them walked to the side and started teaching and learning respectively.

Only then did Chu Luo retract her gaze and look at Li Yan. “Do you want to do your morning exercises?”

“I do.”

Chu Luo thought for a while. “Why don’t we go for a run?”

Coincidentally, she could listen to foreign languages audio as she ran, so that she wouldn’t disturb Anya’s learning. (Actually, she didn’t want to see how pitiful Anya would be later.)

Li Yan definitely had no objections. “Okay.”

Chu Luo and Li Yan went out to run nearby.

When the two of them returned after running for more than half an hour, they had just walked out of the gate of the villa when they heard Anya cry out in surprise.

Then, she said in exasperation, “Stupid blockhead, you must be doing this on purpose!”

Then, Qin Ming replied straightforwardly, “No, you don’t have a foundation. I’m helping you build a foundation.”

Curious, Chu Luo strode in. When she saw Anya doing the horse stance, she quickly suppressed a smile.

When Anya saw Chu Luo and Li Yan enter, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and wanted to stand up.

In the next second, a large hand pressed on her shoulder and she couldn’t move at all.

“Time isn’t up yet. Don’t move.”

“…”

Anya glared at Qin Ming. As a princess, she couldn’t curse. She could only curse in her heart: ‘Stupid blockhead! Stupid blockhead!’

When Chu Luo saw this, she said without sympathy, “Continue. Yan and I will go in first. Let’s eat breakfast together later.”

Anya looked at Chu Luo with a bright gaze that said, “I’m already in such a pitiful state, but you went to eat breakfast.”

Chu Luo pretended not to see and walked into the door with Li Yan.
