I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Gu Wenxuan smiled and nodded slightly to Li, "I know."

She knew very well that Jia Guizhi was doing this for her own good, but she also had things she had to do. It was impossible for her to be an obedient and well-behaved girl without her own opinions just because of Jia Guizhi's motherly love.

Gu Wenxuan, who is 20 kilograms more rebellious than her body weight, said that even her biological parents should not try to interfere with her choices and life.

Li had no idea what she was thinking. Seeing that she responded promptly and efficiently, the old lady smiled with relief and went back to her own business.

Gu Wenxuan walked away from the kitchen door and returned to her room. She carefully put away one of the hairpins Bai Jingzhou had given her into the big box at the end of the kang.

Not long after she put her things away, Gu Yongming and others came back from the fields.

When Gu Wenxuan saw this, she hurriedly brought a basin of water for everyone to wash their hands and faces.

Gu Yongming saw a hairpin on his daughter's head and couldn't help but stare at it for a few more seconds, "Did Jingzhou give it to you?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded and said, "He gave me two. He made them himself."

When everyone heard this, they came over to take a look. Gu Wenxuan's second uncle, Gu Yongqing, even commented, "It's quite nicely made. He must have learned how to do carpentry from his uncle."

Bai Jingzhou's uncle and eldest cousin were both carpenters. During the slack season, the father and son would take on some carpentry work to supplement the family. They had good skills and low prices, so they had a lot of business every year.

Bai Jingzhou did as Gu Yongqing said. Before making hairpins, he went to learn how to polish and carve from his uncle. He did not start working on the good wood he had carefully prepared until he had mastered it.

"By the way, Dad, I just beat my mom." Gu Wenxuan challenged Gu Yongming with a smile, "Dad, do you want to fight me too?"

Gu Yongming and others who had just returned home thought they had misheard. Gu Yongming blinked several times in succession, "What did you say? You beat your mother?"

Jia Guizhi came over carrying the cleaned rabbit and said, "You heard me right, your daughter did beat me."

Everyone was shocked, and looked at Gu Wenxuan as if he were a monkey that suddenly jumped out from a crack in a rock.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yongming waved to her and said, "Come here, let's try a few moves."

Gu Wenxuan was waiting for him to say this. Upon hearing this, she immediately walked out of the crowd and went to the open space in the yard with Gu Yongming.

Gu Yongming got ready and said, "Let's do it."

Gu Wenxuan didn't bother to be polite with him, and her slender body rushed straight towards Gu Yongming.

Gu Yongming shook his head secretly. His daughter's attitude didn't seem like she was making great progress.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, before Gu Yongming had the chance to try to make Gu Wenxuan accept the beating from the cruel reality, Gu Wenxuan had suddenly changed direction like a ghost, changing from a frontal attack to a side attack.

Gu Yongming was quick-witted and quick-handed. He used his left arm to block a straight punch from his daughter, and then used his left leg to block a kick from his daughter.

Both father and daughter moved very quickly, and the fight was very lively.

Grandpa Gu, Second Uncle Gu and the four boys of the Gu family were free, so they surrounded the father and daughter and watched the game attentively.

They didn't quite understand the moves of the father and daughter, but they could see that as time went on, Gu Wenxuan had gone from being on par with Gu Yongming in the beginning to being able to barely gain the upper hand in this fierce battle.

How could Gu Yongming not see what they could see? He took two steps back and said, "No more fighting. You win."

Gu Wenxuan raised the corners of her lips, "Dad, we agreed before that when I can beat you and my mother, you and my mother will allow me to move freely."

Gu Yongming didn't have the heart to tell her this at the moment. He said, "You should tell me first, who did you secretly learn this skill from?"

Gu Wenxuan looked at him with a smile, "My master. I have already told my mother about it, on the day when Jingzhou and I went to the town for the first time together..."

She repeated almost exactly the same words she had said to Jia Guizhi before.

The more Gu Yongming listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. He asked Gu Wenxuan, "Is it really impossible for your mother and I to go meet your master?"

Gu Wenxuan shook her head, "Dad, Master's orders are hard to disobey, please don't make things difficult for me."

Gu Yongming glared at her and asked, "Who told you not to inform your family in advance?"

Gu Wenxuan touched her nose and pretended to be guilty. "I forgot about it because I was so excited. For ordinary people like us, if we are lucky, we can only meet such a capable person once in our lifetime. If we are unlucky, we may not meet him in several lifetimes."

Gu Yongming agreed with what she said. Since his daughter's strength could be improved so much in a short period of time, the female knight was undoubtedly a very capable person.

It is indeed difficult for a family like theirs to come into contact with such a person. For his daughter to have such a master, it is not an exaggeration to say that their ancestral graves are filled with smoke.

But...he was really worried because he couldn't meet her in person!

Gu Yongming rubbed his face hard, trying to convince himself with reason.

Old Master Gu sighed, "Okay, things have come to this, don't make things difficult for the child. The child also wants to learn more skills and help the family more."

Gu Yongqing echoed from the side, "Yes, big brother, our child is someone's apprentice, she can't deliberately go against what others tell her to do."

After a pause, he continued, "Don't worry that they are bad people. It's not that I look down on ourselves, but look at our family. What do you think they can do to us?"

As for kidnapping, if they really wanted to do something to his child, wouldn't it be better for them to just kidnap him? Why would they bother to teach his child martial arts? They are not just doing this for nothing.

Gu Yongming took a deep breath. "They are so capable, but they live in a small place like Liulin Town under an assumed name. I am worried that they have offended someone more powerful outside."

Ordinary people like them who had little contact with the two might not be implicated, but their disciples Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou...

"Uh, so that's what you're worried about?" Gu Wenxuan raised her right hand. "My master's and my great-grandmaster's backgrounds and experiences are not as complicated as you think. They just don't want to get involved in the fight for the throne among those bigwigs, so they have been living in seclusion. Don't worry, Jingzhou, I, and our two families will never be in danger because of them."

Gu Yongming stared at Gu Wenxuan for a long while. Gu Wenxuan was very open and allowed him to stare at her without blinking or dodging.

She and Bai Jingzhou are "masters out of thin air". Even the "master" himself is fictitious. Naturally, it is impossible for her to be implicated by the grudges and love-hate relationship of the so-called "master".
