I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Bai Jingzhou was not surprised at all that Gu Wenxuan would answer like this. After all, this person really doesn't recognize any relatives when he gets angry.

He practiced for about half an hour under Gu Wenxuan's guidance, and then began to help Gu Wenxuan make bows and arrows.

It was not until Gu Wenxuan finished today's training and took out a towel to wipe her sweat that he slowly put away the half-made bow, took his things and went back to the village with her.

The two of them walked around the woods and arrived at the door of Gu's house. Bai Jingzhou looked at Gu Wenxuan with a smile and said, "Sister Wenxuan, I wish you peace and happiness every year."

Gu Wenxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's rare today that you actually called me sister."

Bai Jingzhou smiled, "Then I'm going home."

Gu Wenxuan waved at him, "Go ahead."

Not only her, Bai Jingzhou also planned to tell his parents tonight that he had "taken a hermit as his master".

After watching Bai Jingzhou walk away, Gu Wenxuan was about to push the door and enter the yard, but she caught a glimpse of her mother from the corner of her eye. She was standing in the shadow under the kitchen eaves, staring at her.

"Mom." Gu Wenxuan felt a little guilty. It was one thing for her family to guess that she went out with Bai Jingzhou, but it was another thing to be caught directly.

She asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Jia Guizhi rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, "If I had come back late, I wouldn't have been able to see the scene just now."

Gu Wenxuan touched her nose and said, "Mom, things are not what you think."

Jia Guizhi stared at her, her eyes seemed to say, "Let me see what else you can tell her, little girl."

Gu Wenxuan made up her mind and changed her original plan. She said, "Mom, I really don't always find excuses to go out just to see Jingzhou."

She got ready, "Mom, let's practice. After we're done, you'll know what I've been busy with these days."

Jia Guizhi was surprised. Her daughter, does this mean that her martial arts have improved greatly during this period?

With a strong curiosity to find out the truth, Jia Guizhi rolled up her sleeves and accepted Gu Wenxuan's invitation to practice sparring.

With her ability, she could have defeated her daughter before she was injured within thirty moves, but this time, Gu Wenxuan made her see with her own eyes what rapid progress meant.

The little girl, who she could originally defeat easily within thirty moves, could now not only fight with her for a hundred rounds in a professional manner, but she could also make a feint at the critical moment, revealing her flaws, thus narrowly winning the game.

Jia Guizhi was surprised and delighted, but at the same time she was filled with deep doubts. She looked incredulous, "Who did you learn those moves from?"

Gu Wenxuan held her knees and gasped, pretending that she had won with great difficulty, "My master."

Jia Guizhi's eyes widened. "Your master? Where did you get your master?"

"The first time Jingzhou and I went to town together... to buy things," Gu Wenxuan answered Jia Guizhi's questions intermittently while panting heavily, "I helped an old man... who was blocked in an alley by refugees... and was extorted for money. He was a doctor and his wife was a gangster. They took Jingzhou and me as their apprentices respectively."

Jia Guizhi was stunned. "Why didn't you tell your family before?"

"My master and my master's grandfather won't let us say it." Gu Wenxuan spread her hands, indicating that she was also helpless. "They are just temporarily living in seclusion here and don't want to get too involved with the local people. If we hadn't helped my master's grandfather by chance, they wouldn't have accepted Jingzhou and me as their apprentices."

Jia Guizhi took a deep breath and said, "Tell me now, will your master blame you?"

Gu Wenxuan shook her head. "We are getting better and better every day. We can't hide it even if we want to, right? My master and grandmaster said that I can tell you about their martial arts and medical studies, but I can't tell you where they live, what they look like, etc."

After a pause, she continued, "My master said that they are people who live in seclusion. Although they have accepted Jingzhou and me as their disciples, it is not convenient for them to be too deeply involved with our two families. I hope you can understand."

Jia Guizhi frowned, very worried. "You are such a fool. You made such a big decision without telling me. If you had told me at that time, I would not have let you create a master for yourself in such a muddle."

Although judging from Gu Wenxuan's learning results, her mysterious master who did not want to reveal his identity and name was indeed very capable, but as a mother, she was still reluctant to let her daughter have anything to do with such a mysterious person.

After all, they have great abilities, but they have to live in their small town under an assumed name. Who knows how many troubles those two people are involved in that they don't want to be told to outsiders.

In Jia Guizhi's view, those troubles are things that ordinary people like them should stay away from.

Now that her daughter is involved with such a mysterious person, it would be strange for Jia Guizhi not to be worried.

Gu Wenxuan thought, it was because we knew that you as parents would definitely object that Jingzhou and I did not use this trick of "creating a teacher out of nothing" from the beginning.

"My master and his master's father-in-law are very kind people, and they have done their best for me and Jingzhou." Gu Wenxuan was not good at speaking, and after racking her brains to comfort Jia Guizhi, she suddenly changed the subject and said, "Now that the matter is done, you should relax and think more positively."

Jia Guizhi, who was not comforted at all, said:...

What does it mean to throw away a broken jar? This is what her daughter did.

Jia Guizhi was in a complicated mood and didn't want to see her annoying daughter, who was becoming more and more opinionated as she grew older, for the time being. She rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to help Li.

Today is Gu Wenxuan's birthday. Li is preparing to cook white flour noodles and make a stew of rabbit meat and wild vegetables for the family. Jia Guizhi came back earlier than other people in the family to help Li prepare the rabbit. However, before she started, she saw her daughter and Bai Jingzhou standing at her door and talking.

Feeling depressed, Jia Guizhi turned around to catch the rabbit. Gu Wenxuan, who was left there, didn't mind her mother's abrupt behavior of leaving. She took a few steps closer to the kitchen and called out "Milk" with a smile.

Li was picking wild vegetables when she saw Gu Wenxuan peeking out of the kitchen door. She felt helpless and amused. She said, "Your mother is also worried about you. You should be more considerate of her."

Li heard every word of the conversation between the mother and daughter. She never interfered with the paths her children took, but she could also understand Jia Guizhi's concerns about Gu Wenxuan's apprenticeship.

As the old saying goes, raising a child for a hundred years means worrying for ninety-nine years. Most parents in this world, even if they know rationally that their children will always leave their protection and control when they grow up, but when something really happens, they still can't help but worry about "unnecessary" things.
