“Can you keep this sword out of my neck? I'm not a bad guy.”
Before the young man did, Xuan Yi pushed him harshly. He then jumped forward and turned around. “You use the sword well, like you're dancing.”
“I'm not dancing, it's a sword technique that I'm practicing.”
“I don't care what the name is, it's really beautiful. Can you do it again?”
“Can't, it's not a show.”
Xuan Yi pouted. “If you don't want to, can you teach me how to do it?”
“Not really.”
The girl's face suddenly turned very serious. “It is useless if the swordsman himself in this world, it will make you become meaningless.”
“I don't understand.”
“Do you think reaching the top in sword arts makes you happy? It will make you bored because there is no opponent that makes you excited. Share practice with me, you can have an opponent and make progress easier.”
The young man sighed and walked away. “We meet tomorrow here.”
“So, are you going to teach me?”
The young man nodded and in an instant disappeared.

As the sun began to rise, Su Jiao opened her eyes slowly.
The sunlight landed right on her face, making that goddess-like face glow. He then wanted to stand up, but the blanket that was on his back fell, so he picked it up and wondered who brought it.
Unwilling to think about it, he then stretched his body and walked towards his room.
After bathing and changing clothes, he went to the place to eat.
There Xuan Yi had sat down. The girl waited for Su Jiao to come.
When Su Jiao sat down, she asked, “How was your lesson yesterday?”
Su Jiao then took the bowl and poured some rice.
“Walking well. I really enjoyed learning how to make calligraphy. Although it is still ugly, at least the calligraphy I made was successful.”
Xuan Yi then took the bowl and the soup. He poured the rice and gravy that was on the table.
After one mouthful, She opened her mouth, “Mother, when the sun goes down, I will practice using the weapon.”
“Do what you want, but you must have someone to look after. Who are you practicing with?”
“A young man in shabby clothes, I met him last night.”
Su Jiao stuffed the rice into her mouth. After chewing it, he warned, “Carely use the weapon, I don't want you to get hurt.”
“Emm, I'll be careful.”
They were busy enjoying their own dishes. Afterwards, as usual Xuan Yi would wash all the bowls.
Su Jiao just let it go. He was astonished, how could a villain like Tong Mu be able to educate girls so well and gracefully like Xuan Yi. As a top-class criminal, it should be that the child will have a stubborn and ruthless attitude. Is this what is called the mother's blood flowing perfectly into her child?
He then left from there, there were many things he had to finish. The provincial area is still waiting for him and the salaries of the soldiers are still arrears. The problem must be solved as soon as possible.

After washing the bowl cleanly, he then met Jia Li and took her to accompany him to the Xionglue house.
They then left.
Before leaving, Jia Li did not forget to carry a sword on his back in case danger came.
She was the closest servant of Su Jiao and her confidant. He knew the actions of the princess and her secrets.
When he told Xuan Yi that he was his son, he had thought that the girl would be much in the hunt, because of her father's past deeds. No one knew who Su Jiao was having sex with except her, therefore, she had prepared everything.
While walking there, Xuan Yi asked a lot about the foods the merchants were selling.
Jia Li explained it gently and was patient.
“That's the name of moon cake. That one's called sweets and that's his name.... Later after the princess comes home, aunt will buy her.”
When reaching in a quiet place, suddenly someone said, “Where are you going?”
After a while of searching, it turned out that a girl was sitting on a tree wearing a white dress. Both of his eyes looked clear and smart.
“We will go learn.”
Jia Li was surprised by Xuan Yi's reply, he shouldn't have to answer the question. In this world it would be extremely dangerous if one lived with an innocent attitude.
And from the looks of it, the girl above them was not a random person, seeing her carrying a small knife in a swirl with the end of her grip there was a fan hanger.
The girl then jumped down and approached them. He watched Xuan Yi and Jia Li.
Xuan Yi simply fell silent at such a gaze.
“I'm coming.”
“You can't come,” Jia Li said.
But the girl did not listen to him and jumped on the roofs of the house and just disappeared.
“Mr princess, you shouldn't have answered her. There are so many people who want your death.”
“I know. That's why I act like this. Come on aunt, we walk again.”
Jia Li felt astonished by Xuan Yi's sudden serious attitude as it was not his original attitude. But he didn't really care what the girl meant.
After reaching the gate of the house, Xuan Yi said, “Thank you for delivering me auntie. Later in the afternoon, aunty can pick me up.”
“Good learning, princess.”
Xuan Yi nodded then walked over to the door, and Jia Li left.
When he opened the door, the girl was in the courtyard of the house welcoming him. He smiled cheerfully when Xuan Yi came. The girl also twirled the knife in her hand.
“Why did you come here?” asked Xuan Yi.
“I want to look around, you learned what today.”
“I learned about calligraphy.”
“It's boring.”
“Who said? You don't understand how to make it. Calligraphy is the expression of feelings through the art of writing.”
“I've said the activity was very boring.”
“You can go now, if you don't like.”
Just as Xuan Yi stopped saying, Xionglue opened the door slowly, then looked at the two girls who had been looking at him. Xionglue uttered in a cold tone, “I don't like someone from the White Clouds Fairly sect. Go from here.”
The girl beside Xuan Yi frowned. Angrily looked at Xionglue. “Why don't you like it?”
“I hate it.”
The girl continued. “Secte White Clouds Fairly is one of the powerful sects that exist in the Su imperial region. The students who study there are beautiful. Everyone wanted to study there because of having high spiritual teachers. But the requirements to enter the pass are very difficult, is that why you hate it?”
“No. I just hate him. Go now.”
“You must be envious of seeing me pass in!” the girl snorted and walked away.
Xuan Yi had only been quiet since then. Hearing what the girl said made him interested to want to know the Sect.
He walked up to Xionglue. “Aunt Xionglue, what is White Clouds sect Fairly.”
“Cute me.”
Xuan Yi then followed Xionglue and sat down at the table.
On the table, there were already cups and tea pots. “Secte White Clouds Fairly as the boy said, is one of the Sects that exist in the Su empire. You can add martial arts there. But only talented people will be accepted and only women.”
While conversing Xionglue raised the pot then poured it and her hands as a buffer.
“Why is it like that?”
“Because the Sect was specifically training feminism. If you want to learn to be a graceful and powerful woman, that place is one good choice.”
“Why does aunt hate her?”
“Because the training they applied was so burdensome, I hated their way of learning. If you want, you can try your luck.”
Xionglue placed the one cup that had contained tea in front of Xuan Yi. “Please Mr. princess.”
