Chapter 79.1
Wen Chi walked to the cabinet, hesitated several times but still didnât have the courage to open the cabinet door.
There are two villains arguing in his heart. One villain said that anyway, he and Shi Ye were husband and wife in this ancient time and itâs okay to adapt in advance but the other villain said that it would be too painful to tuck these jades in the ass. And who would have nothing better to do than to make themselves suffer.
Thus, Wen Chi paused and then said to himself, yes, isnât that person himself?
Isnât he the one who has nothing better to do than to give himself a hard time?
Wen Chi was speechless for a moment, he quietly swallowed his saliva and slowly withdrew his hand that was already on the cabinet.
He stood there for a while, then picked up the towel on the wooden stand to dry himself, put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
There happened to be two maids guarding the door.
Seeing him, the two maids hurried up to greet him: âYoung Master Wen, what are your orders?â
Facing these two pretty little girls, Wen Chi was still a little embarrassed to order them and said with a smile, âPlease help me clean up the wooden barrels in the room.â
The two maidservants answered together, and went to the room.
Seeing this, Wen Chi also quietly went downstairs.
He remembered that Liu De lived in a certain room on the left on the first floor, but it didnât matter if he didnât remember, he walked to the approximate location and called Liu Deâs name.
After a while, a door in front of him on the left was opened.
The dim candlelight spilled out along the open door and also fell on Liu Deâs tall figure. Liu De stood at the door without moving and had no intention of walking towards Wen Chi.
âYoung Master Wen.â Liu Deâs face was turned away from the light, so he couldnât see his expression clearly but he could hear a sense of alienation in his voice, âItâs getting late, what can I do for you?â
âBrother Liu De.â
After Wen Chi spoke, he was about to move forward.
However, when Liu De saw Wen Chi take two steps forward, he immediately took two steps back as if he had seen a scourge and retreated directly into the room.
âDonât you come over.â Liu De stretched out both his hands, âIf you have anything to say, just say it from there.â
Wen Chi was so frightened by Liu Deâs reaction that he stopped in his tracks.
After waiting for a while, he saw that Liu De was still looking defensive and scratched his head inexplicably: âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Liu De said solemnly: âYoung Master Wen, we should keep our distance at night, so as not to be misunderstood by others.â
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
All right.
Ever since he stopped covering up the red mole between his eyebrows, Liu De and Liu Shan have become weird, wishing to keep a distance of 180,000 miles from him.
Since Liu De didnât let him approach, he could only stand where he was and rather awkwardly stated his purpose: âLiu De, I have been practicing my basic skills for so long as you instructed me to, and I would like to know how the results are.â
Liu De said: âYoung Master Wen, I have already said that learning martial arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight.â
âAlthough thatâs what you saidâ¦â Wen Chi paused before continuing, âBut I still want to know how much I have improved in the past ten days, so that I can have an idea in my mind.â
In Liu Deâs mind, martial arts practice is a process that accumulates over time and the mentality of rushing for quick success can destroy a personâs spirit. He didnât quite agree with Wen Chiâs idea of wanting to achieve something so quickly, but he couldnât refuse any longer as Wen Chi insisted on it.
Liu De hesitated for a while and asked Wen Chi to wait there. He turned and entered the room and closed the door behind him.
When Liu De came out of the room again, he held a candlestick in his hand and the flame was dancing on the white candle.
Liu De approached Wen Chi casually, walked past him and said at the same time, âFollow me.â
Hearing this, Wen Chi hurriedly followed.
They arrived at the clearing where they had trained during the day, which was shrouded by a hazy night, with only faint moonlight pouring down, allowing Wen Chi to barely see the blurred path beneath his feet.
The light in front of him was dim and it was a little difficult for Wen Chi to walk.
He looked up at Liu De who was walking in front and saw that Liu De walked steadily, not affected by the surrounding light at all, as if he could clearly see every plant and tree nearby.
Although Wen Chi is a salted fish, he is still very envious of people with strong martial arts.
After walking for a while, Liu De stopped in front of the stone table and gently placed the candlestick in his hand on the stone table.
Wen Chi stepped up to Liu Deâs side and couldnât help sighing: âBrother Liu De, you are so amazing, you can still see the road at night.â
Liu De said without changing his expression: âWith candles lighting the way, I can naturally see it.â
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
After Liu Deâs reminder, he realized that without Liu Deâs tall figure blocking the light, the faint candlelight spread around with the candlestick as the center, illuminating a small circle.
Embarrassed by the misrepresentation, Wen Chi chose to remain silent.
