The resentful best friend travels through daily life

It was impossible to practice martial arts during this period as Zhou Ning was busy studying medicine, leaving only Shen You and Bai Zhao with free time.

Qingyi also felt that they were idle and an eyesore, so he assigned them calligraphy tasks and asked them to practice writing two large characters every day before Qingyi would approve them, calling it self-cultivation.

Bai Zhao's handwriting is unexpectedly beautiful. It is not as unrestrained and rough as imagined, but rather neat and elegant with a hint of strength.

Shen You was unlucky. He was not very good at writing with a brush. The words he wrote were not ugly, but looked like those of a child. They were always round and smooth, and he could not tell where the top was heavy or where the radicals were too big. In short, they were just not up to standard.

This resulted in Shen You practicing calligraphy with sighs every day. Apart from studying medicine, Zhou Ning's happiest thing every day was to find an excuse to bring her a glass of water and then laugh at her.

"The two swords that Qi Ji helped you with are now healed, why is your handwriting still like this?" Zhou Ning said while drinking hot water.

Shen You held up the brush, turned his head and frowned, "Double swords? What double swords?"

Zhou Ning said, "Didn't you lose your two swords on the road a few days ago? Qi Ji has been learning forging from his master these days, and now they are ready today."

"Really? I've been practicing calligraphy these days, and..." Ink slipped from the brush onto the paper while she wasn't paying attention, causing Shen You to scream.

Shen You held the wet paper and said helplessly, "I have to write it again. It's all your fault. Wuwuwuwu."

Zhou Ning put down the cup and said speechlessly: "You didn't pay attention, but you blame me? I see that you can't write now, so why don't you go find Qi Ji and see your new knife and have some fun."

Shen You thought that what he said made sense. Qi Ji was a thoughtful person, and the double swords he would create might be even more useful than before, so he went to find Qi Ji.

Seeing Qi Ji standing alone in a corner of a makeshift house reading a book, wearing a white robe with cloud patterns, with gentle eyes and brows, and clean, white hands with distinct joints, like polished white jade, Shen You thought of a sentence.

You should only see the painting, I alone know the essence of it. When I write about the end of the water and the sky, I am definitely not a person from the dust.

Qi Ji looked up and saw Shen You holding Zhou Ning's red oil-paper umbrella in a daze. It was rare for her not to smile. She was not as cute as usual, but had a different kind of charm.

"What's wrong? You'll catch a cold if you just stand there. Come in quickly." When Qi Ji looked at Shen You, every wisp of rain carried a gentle breath.

Shen You came back to her senses, walked to Qi Ji, lowered her head to close the umbrella, and smiled: "I just saw that you are so beautiful."

"Really? Then you can take a closer look. I can be even prettier than that."

Shen You looked at Qi Ji in shock. He could actually say such words. But seeing that he was laughing as if he had just played a prank, she ignored him.

"By the way, where is my knife? I heard from Aning that you made a new pair for me. I want to see them." Shen You said.

Qi Ji said: "Wait here for a moment, I'll get it for you."

After saying that, Qi Ji went to his cabinet and took out the knife. He rubbed his ears which were red with shyness, and Qi Ji calmed down before taking out the pair of knives from his cabinet.

This was the first time Shen You saw the pair of double swords. Not only did the length of the blades match Shen You's height, but even the curvature of the handles also matched the curvature of her palms.

Other than that, these knives are no different from the previous ones, they are just more convenient to use.

"Qi Ji, how did you know the curvature of my palm?" Shen You fiddled with the knife in surprise and found that it fit perfectly.

Qi Ji lowered his eyes, with a smile in his eyes, and said: "It's nothing, you will know if you look more carefully."

The knife Shen You used before was not tailor-made, and it often caused blisters on her hands when she used it. Qi Ji studied it over and over again and found the curvature that best suited her palms.

"Thank you. I'll give you a gift for your birthday someday. I'm leaving first." Shen You was very happy after getting the weapon, but he still had homework to hand in. If he didn't finish it, he would be beaten.

Qi Ji looked at Shen You's back as she took one step and jumped two steps, and said silently: I hope you can see it, and I also hope you will never see it.

He learned the art of mechanical devices from Shen Yi, and hid a sentence inside the handle of the knife: I only wish my love to be happy and healthy.

"Is this all the courage you have?" Wushang appeared behind Qi Ji at some point in time. He was always elusive.

Qi Ji picked up the book, flicked off the dust, and said calmly, "What courage?"

Wushang sneered: "Of course it's the courage to chase Shen You."

Qi Ji looked at him, the same eyes, but this time there was no tenderness at all.

"What do you want to do?" Qi Ji asked coldly.

Wushang said: "Of course I like her and want to be with her. Otherwise, how about becoming sworn brothers with her?"

Qi Ji's face turned completely cold, and he said, "You want to be with her, that's your business. Whether she agrees to you or not is her business, you don't have to tell me. Besides--"

Qi Ji's eyes were as dark as ink, staring coldly at Wushang. At this moment, his arrogance as a nobleman was revealed, and he said word by word: "Are you worthy?"

He was clearly wearing the simplest white clothes, without any decoration at all, but he made people feel that this person was not someone to be trifled with.

"Whether I deserve it or not is up to her to decide." Wushang retorted.

"Do you really like her? No, should I say, is your liking for her a love between a man and a woman?" Qi Ji asked.

After the last drinking contest, Qi Ji asked a lot of questions, and combined with some investigations, he pieced together his life story.

He should be a member of the sacrificial clan of the former Xia Kingdom. As for why he is so nice to Shen You.

The priest family is good at divination, which has been passed down from generation to generation. He probably knows something about it. Maybe he has calculated that Shen You's fate is unusual, but the kindness he shows to her is genuine and sincere.

However, when he looked at her, he always felt that he was looking at another person, and it seemed that he had no feelings for Shen You at all.

"Love between a man and a woman? What a bullshit." Wushang suddenly got angry. "It's just a game between a man and a woman. A man falls in love with a woman's appearance and temperament, but it can't beat the word "interest". Instead of asking me if it's love between a man and a woman, it's better to ask me if I will treat her sincerely and treat her well. I tell you, I will treat her well. In this respect alone, you can't compare with me. Qi Ji, your life experience is much more complicated than mine, and the road ahead will be much more difficult. She is the county lord appointed by your emperor, and she will inevitably be involved in the government. If there is a choice, you only need to sacrifice her a little in exchange for your many benefits, will you change or not?"

"No." Qi Ji said firmly, "No matter if I will be lucky enough to spend the rest of my life with her, I will respect her and protect her, and I will never use her as a bargaining chip for profit."
