One could not practice martial arts without suffering.
Liu Guixia and the others knew about it, so they didn’t try to persuade Xue Yan to stop.
They only patted Jiang Yue’s head, telling her to follow Xue Yan and Qi Yin obediently and not lose sight of them. Then, they went back with Xue Dafu.
When Jiang Yue saw that the others had left, her gaze fell on Xue Yan again. She saw the grit and determination in Xue Yan’s eyes. This was something that she did not see before Xue Dafu and the others came. It was obvious that he was thinking about what happened in his previous life again.
His eyes showed his true determination.
When Xue Yan finished running ten laps and returned to the finish line — which was also the starting point of his old house — he looked as though he could pa.s.s out at any second. In fact, after a few seconds of standing, his whole body went limp and he fell in the courtyard of the old house.
Shao Zhongxi had never expected his nephew to finish ten laps.
Ten laps was just a goal he set for his nephew. He didn’t actually want his nephew to finish it. He just wanted to see how many laps his nephew could run.
Qi Yin was also shocked. ‘The Crown Prince actually ran ten laps… This potential…’
Other than Jiang Yue, everyone else was shocked to see him finishing. She was the only one who knew why he was able to finish those ten laps. If Xue Dafu and the others hadn’t come along midway, and Xue Shi hadn’t cried like that, he would have finished the fifth lap at most today.
When he fell, his spirit was somewhat unconscious.
Shao Zhongxi had practiced martial arts since he was young and had also trained in the army. He often over-trained his soldiers to push them to their limits. He was very good at dealing with this, so he quickly dealt with Xue Yan.
Xue Yan slowly opened his eyes, but he still could not get up.
After resting for a while, Xue Yan struggled to get up, but his feet refused to listen. Jiang Yue helped him sit up, and she leaned him against the wall.
The vegetable garden in the old house was made more s.p.a.cious for him to practice martial arts. When he was cleaning up the old house yesterday morning, Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu had already flattened it. The whole courtyard was flattened so he could practice as much as he wished.
They just sat there for a while, unmoving. It wasn’t until someone called them back for dinner did they move.
This time, it was not just their Erfu who came. His other family members were also there.
Everyone naturally felt sorry for him when they saw his condition. They hurriedly asked Xue Yifu to carry Xue Yan back for dinner.
Jiang Yue was led back by Liu Guixia.
After lunch, Xue Yan was placed on the bed and he rested for another hour. Although he still felt weak, he still led Jiang Yue to the old house to practice martial arts.
When it was almost dark, they were brought back home.
Today was the 15th day of the first lunar month, so they had to eat mochi b.a.l.l.s with black sesame filling. This was what they ate for dinner at night. Xue Yan was so tired that he could only eat two mochi b.a.l.l.s before feeling full. He excused himself to go wash up and immediately went to bed.
When Liu Guixia and the others came in and covered him with the blanket, he didn’t wake up.
In the morning, Xue Yan woke up with aches all over his body. This intensity was much more intense than when he tried training on his own. Seeing that he ran ten laps yesterday, it was no wonder he felt like this.
However, he still forced himself to stand up.
At dawn, he came to the old house again to do the horse stance..
