Chapter 3665: Sword Fighting Across the Realm (4)

Back when Situ Xun abducted the pregnant Qin Nianzhi from the wedding, Qin Song’s health began to fail. When he died, it was the entrustor who acted as his son to arrange his funeral.

Qin Nianzhi didn’t appear. Of course, Qin Nianzhi also had no alternative. She was forced by circumstances, because she was locked up by Situ Xun to nurse her pregnancy. It was only after the child was born that Qin Nianzhi learned her father had passed away.

Ning Shu walked into the room and cupped her hands toward Qin Song. “Master.”

When Qin Song died, he sighed in despair. He had likely anticipated the outcome of these matters.

But when a person was about to die, they were powerless over the affairs of the living.

“Xuefeng, go out and gain some experience. Let people know that you are the head disciple of the Wanjian Manor. Human hearts are sinister, so always be careful,” Qin Song instructed Ning Shu. His expression was quite gentle, showing he valued Chong Xuefeng in his heart.

Back then, the poison was likely also a way to make Qin Nianzhi return. No one knew a daughter better than her father. However, he still miscalculated. After all that tossing and turning, Qin Nianzhi still left, even though she compromised for the sake of Chong Xuefeng’s life.

It made Chong Xuefeng and the Wanjian Manor become a laughingstock.

Marrying, snatching the bride, marrying again, snatching the bride again… The whole thing truly was a massive joke.

One had to admit that Qin Nianzhi and Situ Xun had a mutual understanding. Every time, he found some matter to threaten Qin Nianzhi, and Qin Nianzhi always left with him feeling forced, wronged, and sacrificed.

You cannot blame me, I was forced. Even if you blame me, I can only endure the grievance.

Ning Shu suddenly could understand Chong Xuefeng’s ‘hehe.’ If it were Ning Shu, she would also… hehehehe…

“This disciple will remember it. I will definitely pay close attention, preserve myself, and fulfill the responsibilities a disciple of the orthodox path should fulfill,” Ning Shu said respectfully.

“I have always been at ease with how you handle things. Go back and pack up, pick a day and leave,” Qin Song said gently.

Ning Shu let out a sound of assent, then said, “Master, please pay more attention to your health.”

Qin Song had an illness of the heart. Qin Nianzhi’s mother was also a beauty unparalleled in the martial arts world. Just looking at Qin Nianzhi, one could tell how beautiful Qin Nianzhi’s mother was.

Ning Shu exited the room and headed toward her own room. Her shoulder was suddenly patted by someone. Ning Shu turned her head and saw Qin Nianzhi, wearing a captivating smile.

“Junior Sister,” Ning Shu greeted. Her footsteps didn’t stop as she headed toward her own room.

Qin Nianzhi took steps. Her footing was light, and she looked like a beautiful butterfly that was gracefully dancing.

The Qin Nianzhi who hadn’t yet fallen into the melodramatic drama that was the original storyline was still a playful and cute young girl. Once she fell in love, her style suddenly changed completely. She became glass-hearted, ‘grieving over passing springs and mourning autumns,’ acting like a resentful woman running between two men.

Ning Shu felt exhausted just thinking about it. She had plenty of time to live a carefree life, yet she used it to do these things.

“Eldest Senior Brother, are you going out to travel the martial world? Take me with you, alright?” Qin Nianzhi pleaded with Ning Shu.

“No. This is my experience, it has nothing to do with you.” Ning Shu refused directly. She refused very coldly.

Qin Nianzhi curled her lip. She was likely somewhat unaccustomed to Ning Shu taking the iceberg route. “Eldest Senior Brother, just take me with you. I promise I will not cause you any trouble. I have never left the Wanjian Manor before. Can you take me out to see the outside world?”

Qin Nianzhi acted coquettishly toward Ning Shu. Ning Shu opened the cabinet and packed her undergarments. Being poor at home was fine, but one must be rich on the road. She needed to bring enough silver.

“Go talk to Master about this. If Master tells me to take you, I will take you. But if Master says you cannot go, then I have no other choice,” Ning Shu said.

Qin Nianzhi’s mouth pouted so high that an oil jug could hang from it. She was extremely dissatisfied with Ning Shu’s attitude. “If Father would agree to let me go, I wouldn’t have come looking for you. Father says girls cannot go out. If I do not go out once in this life, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Furthermore, Father told me to embroider my dowry. These hands of mine are for holding a sword, not a needle and thread.”

Ning Shu’s hands paused. This sentence had a hidden subtext—’If you take me, I will marry you when we come back.’

After all, she even brought up embroidering her wedding clothes.

If she didn’t go out and explore, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Ning Shu only said, “If Master agrees to let you go, I will take you.”

“Eldest Senior Brother, how can you be like this? Father will not agree. Can you please take me with you? I want to go see what the martial world is like.”

“You must ask Master about this matter.”

“…Eldest Senior Brother, can you say anything else?”

“A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime. For such a major matter, I definitely require Master’s approval. Ask Master,” Ning Shu said with a smile. She was such a warmhearted guy, wasn’t she?

Qin Nianzhi furrowed her brows tightly, pouted her lips, snorted, and walked away. Usually, in this kind of situation, Chong Xuefeng would be the one to compromise.

Ning Shu ignored Qin Nianzhi and packed some poisons. Things like knock-out drugs, and the martial world’s bizarre poisonous aphrodisiac, the kind where you’d die if you didn’t have sex.

There were also some antidotes.

In short, she covered all her bases. She was going out on a public-funded tour, fighting injustice along the way.

Ning Shu would be stupid to bring such a troublemaker along this time, who never ceased to cause a ruckus wherever she went.

She would practically drop to her knees if she didn’t stir something up. One moment she was caring about the whole world, and the next she was acting like a supreme holy mother. It was truly an incredible headache.

Kindness required skill. If you didn’t have the ability, you mustn’t act kind. Not causing trouble for others was a virtue. Some people simply used the name of kindness to cause trouble for others.

If anything happened, their excuse was always, ‘I meant well.’

What else could be said? It was very despairing!

Every time Chong Xuefeng cleaned up Qin Nianzhi’s messes, he spent all the money on his person. He was almost so poor he had to resort to robbery, as he couldn’t let Qin Nianzhi sleep on the streets.

It kept Chong Xuefeng so busy that he was frequently in a state of questioning—’Who am I? What am I doing?’

Qin Nianzhi went to her old father and said she wanted to go gain experience with her eldest senior brother, but was directly and flatly refused by Father Qin. He didn’t give her any room for discussion.

This daughter of his had been raised to be naive and ignorant of the world. The hearts of people outside were sinister. Chong Xuefeng only had two hands—how could he look after her?

Qin Nianzhi: …

Was this really her biological father?

Qin Nianzhi furiously returned to her room, waiting for Ning Shu to come coax her. At that time, her eldest senior brother would be unable to resist her and would take her along.

However, Qin Nianzhi waited and waited but Ning Shu never came. Carrying a bundle and holding a sword in one hand, Ning Shu left under the cover of darkness.

Seeing the completely empty room, Qin Nianzhi was so angry she almost cried.

Father is a big meanie, and Eldest Senior Brother is a big meanie too.

Humph, even without her eldest senior brother, she could travel the martial world by herself. Her martial arts weren’t bad either. Even if she couldn’t win a fight, she could run.

Moreover, without her eldest senior brother managing her and tying her hands and feet, she would be even freer.

Qin Nianzhi burst with joy. She immediately went back to her room to pack her things. She put on a set of men’s clothing, but her chest was still bulging out. Her ears had pierced holes, she had no Adam’s apple, and her stature was short. As long as one wasn’t blind, anyone could she this was a woman.

Just how blind did someone have to be not to see it? Men and women had different bone structures, and their demeanors and behaviors were different.

Qin Nianzhi sneaked away while shouting loudly, “Martial world, here I come!”
