After pointing out a few more obvious mistakes, with Gu Xiqiao nudging him and changing his stance, Su Wen started up his practice again, and he froze.

 This set of techniques was taught to him by Tang Qinghong a few days ago, and since he knew that the things Young Master Tang taught were always useful things, he practiced hard even though he didn’t understand the essence of it. But just as Gu Xiqiao had said, the punches he threw were as soft as cotton, and were very flowery. If it wasn’t for his overly trusting nature toward Tang Qinghong, he would have felt that this entire thing was a lie.

 However, when he stared up again this time, there was a burst of wind that appeared from his fist. Those sluggish and uncertain moves didn’t appear again, and he felt his arms and legs fill with seemingly endless energy.

 “This set of techniques is a good thing, don’t just go through the motions, learn to understand the meaning behind them,” Gu Xiqiao said, breaking a branch off. “When you have learnt it properly, everything your hand can reach can be used as a weapon.”

 She struck out suddenly, the branch in her palm winding smoothly like a snake. She exerted her full strength, tightly knitted motions that even the wind couldn’t get through, the wind rustling in his ears. Watching the scene in front of him, Su Wen felt like he understood what the martial arts saying of ‘Gun like a swimming dragon, stick like a whirlwind’ meant!

 Nobody would imagine the fierce technique she was displaying was the same soft one that he had been practicing a while ago. If he didn’t see it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it either!

 [Beauty Qiao, you actually taught him yourself.] The system spirit gave her a glare. [You didn’t teach Xiao Yun and the others personally!]

 Gu Xiqiao slowed down gradually, tossing the branch away casually, ‘That’s because I couldn’t find the right opportunity.’ But in fact, it was because she had become fond of Su Wen.

 It took a while before Su Wen came back to reality, and he looked at Gu Xiqiao in slight shock, his eyes burning. “Will I be able to do the same in the future?”

 “It depends on your diligence and aptitude,” Gu Xiqiao said, glancing at him, “If your aptitude is crap, then I can’t help you there.”

 “…” That comment pierced right through his heart.

 At any rate, he felt slightly relieved, he had benefited quite a bit from this, and Su Wen returned to the creek area with an uplifted spirit. It wasn’t even seven o’clock yet, and most of the people weren’t up. There was only Jia Wei who was up and about at the creek, being that she had gotten up early and was busy preparing breakfast.

 A girl around the age of twenty, young and beautiful, hard-working and virtuous, she should be the ideal partner in the eyes of many people.

 The smile on Su Wen’s face slid off slowly as he looked at Jia Wei who was busy, and his eyes darkened. After thinking for a while, he walked toward his own tent, but when he reached it, he paused outside. He hadn’t slept in the tent yesterday night, and the tent should be undisturbed, but the flap of the tent was not closed, someone must have touched it.

 “Brother Su, you’re back!” Jia Wei turned her head when she saw Su Wen, handing him a bottle of mineral water that she was holding, giving him a bright smile. “Have a drink first, the fish porridge is almost done. I’ll go and wake everyone up.”

 “You’re so lucky, Young Master Su,” A boy who had just woken up and stumbled upon the scene said, as he yawned. “Beautiful, gentle, kind, why don’t I have the chance to have this too!”
