Chapter 177 Evildoer Goes to the Mountains, Pledging Their Love on the Lantern Festival [1]
Zi You didn’t say much. She cupped her fists and lightly smiled before walking over to her grandfather.
Old General Mu looked gratified at his granddaughter. Her deep purple eyes rejoiced happily.
Even he didn’t think that his granddaughter could use her spiritual power with her internal strength. Otherwise, her current internal strength could never have charged through Wei Mingchao’s sword Qi.
All of the soldiers looked at Zi You. At this moment, no one looked down on her because she was young and a weak woman.
The night soon fell. Zi You allowed the girls to freely move around. She then went to Old General Mu’s tent and sang a few songs for her grandfather and uncle. “Grandfather, uncle, I’ll sing some songs for you. Consider it as my holiday gift.”
She originally wanted to make a robe and boots for her grandfather, but she had been too busy. She didn’t have time, so she only gifted him a robe. The boots weren’t ready yet.
“Okay, okay……” Old General Mu was still very happy. He looked at his granddaughter’s pair of jade-like hands dancing on the zither strings. Her zither skills were superb. That was when he knew that his granddaughter’s zither skills were different today than before, just like her martial arts.
He was gratified. He rubbed Zi You’s head and said dotingly, “Don’t make yourself too tired. You’re learning martial arts, medicine, and even zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Don’t make yourself too tired. You’re still young. Don’t be in a hurry. Take your time.”
Mu YingYi looked lovingly at her too. He took out and handed her a box. “Open it. It’s uncle’s gift to you. You can use it when you practice acupuncture.”
Zi You opened it. Inside was a little wooden person. The acupuncture points and meridians were clearly marked on its body.
Mu YingYi walked over and gently pushed the little wooden person. There were even internal organs inside. She didn’t know what material they were made out of. They were really the same as the real ones.
“Uncle……” Zi You was excited. She couldn’t even speak as she looked at Mu YingYi.
Her uncle was like her real father. He gave her gifts every holiday. All the gifts in her room were basically sent by her uncle and her grandfather. Her slag father had never thought about this.
Old General Mu pretended to be guilty as he looked at Zi You and shook his head. “Aiyo! Grandfather forgot. I didn’t prepare a gift for you. What to do now?”
“Grandfather, you bringing me to the mountains and allowing me to train with the Mu army is already the best gift.” Zi You held her grandfather’s arm and said cutely.
Old General Mu felt even more tenderness. He walked over to the bed and took out a plum blossom-shaped dagger. He handed it to her and said, “This is the Plum Dagger that your grandmother left for you. I’ll give it to you now.”
Plum Dagger: It had sharp edges on both ends. It was about a foot and two inches long. It was circular. The hilt is crescent-shaped. Its form was like a plum blossom. It was a very valuable dagger.
It was one of the few items that her grandmother had left for her grandfather. Now, her grandfather actually gave it to her. Zi You fondled it admiringly and said to her grandfather, “Grandfather, I will treat it like a treasure.”
Old General Mu shook his head. “Weapons are used to kill enemies. You will meet whoever dares to a.s.sault you head-on!”
“Yes, grandfather.” Zi You instantly understood her grandfather’s meaning and loudly replied.
With the love and support of her loved ones, Zi You was even more determined to practice martial arts.
She ordered Shiyun and Moyun to pick up the black mandara flowerpots and called Weishali and the spirit pets. She was about to leave, but heard Feiyun’s screech.
She had told Feiyun not to make any noise so as to not alert anyone. But it clearly discovered something and was warning her right now.
But Feiyun’s screech was full of intimacy. Yes, it was full of intimacy. It was unlike the sharp and fierce screech that it made when it first saw Weishali.
Zi You felt that it was strange and heard a certain scoundrel’s voice. “You’er, I’m exhausted! I rushed here nonstop. But you still trap me with this array.”
Shangguan LingRan! Why was he here? Zi You was surprised and immediately said to Shiyun and Moyun, “Forget it. Go to bed. I won’t practice and rest tonight. I’ll study meridians on the human body.”
Shiyun and Moyun thought that it was strange. But Xiaojie said that she wanted to rest, so they couldn’t say no as servants.
Shiyun put the flowerpots down and asked in concern, “What if Xiaojie takes a bath?”
“I won’t take a bath tonight.” Zi You replied, “I didn’t sweat today. I’ll read some books and simply wash up. You don’t have to serve me. Go rest.”
“Yes.” The two bowed and left.
Zi You then walked towards her tent.
