Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Having made up their minds, the two of them arrived at the training room. Li Ruo was stunned when they opened the door and walked in. The room was filled with weapons, practically every weapon from the 18 classes. Li Ruo thought it was no worse than the martial arts arena in the palace. But before she could think any further, Dugu Jingyao told her to step onto a blank wooden floor.

Li Ruo waited expectantly for Dugu Jingyao to speak. Dugu Jingyao looked at her expectant eyes and said, "Let's practice the basics today. Since you don't have a solid foundation, start with horse stance. After all, if you want to practice sword or archery in the future, you'll need a more stable lower body."

I thought Li Ruo wouldn't take it seriously, or perhaps wanted to practice something more advanced, but she actually did the horse stance quite well, albeit a bit too steady and a little too high. Seeing Li Ruo's excellent cooperation, Dugu Jingyao felt more willing to teach. First, she had Li Ruo stand up while she demonstrated the correct horse stance. Then, Li Ruo did it again, and sure enough, she grasped the key points and became much more stable.

Dugu Jingyao felt that Li Ruo was very smart and that she could make great progress with just a little help from him. She also had good physique and was a good material for martial arts training.

At first, Li Ruo's horse stance was quite stable, but after all, she had no basic skills, so she started to tremble within an incense stick of time. However, Dugu Jingyao did not stop for the time being, because martial arts training is such a difficult process, and you can't just stop when you are tired.

So Dugu Jingyao could only encourage Li Ruo: "Ruo'er, it's a very good start that you can practice like this for the first time. Just bear with it a little longer, this incense stick will soon go out. You can rest after one stick of incense!"

Li Ruo looked at the incense stick that was about to burn out, took a deep breath, and tried to keep herself steady. Soon the incense stick burned out, but Li Ruo seemed to be feeling it and hadn't rested yet. However, Dugu Jingyao still persuaded her, "Ruo'er, you've done well, but you still need to rest. After all, this is your first day in martial arts. Don't be too aggressive. You must proceed step by step, otherwise it will be useless!"

Li Ruo was also someone who listened to advice, so she stood up and sat down to the side to rest. Dugu Jingyao thoughtfully handed Li Ruo a cup of tea, but Li Ruo only took a sip before putting it down. Dugu Jingyao encouraged her again, "Don't worry, since I promised to teach you, I will definitely teach you well. You have a good foundation, so it will be much easier for me to teach you."

Li Ruo said happily: "But Sister Jingyao, we can't stay in Yunnan for too long. If I go back, I'm afraid my father and mother will not agree with me learning. Also, I'm afraid that the people who teach me will not be as dedicated as you. So..." In fact, what Li Ruo meant was that she wanted Dugu Jingyao to teach her, and Dugu Jingyao, as a princess, was more suitable than those men. If Li Ruo could not stay here, could Dugu Jingyao go to Chang'an?

Dugu Jingyao also understood this meaning, so she asked, "Do you want me to go back to Chang'an with you?" Li Ruo bowed and said, "Sister Jingyao is smart!"

Dugu Jingyao touched Li Ruo's head, looked at her with gentle eyes and said, "Ruo'er, if you really want me to go back to Chang'an with you, there are still many things to do!" Li Ruo didn't care: "As long as my uncle and my royal brother agree, isn't it all right?"

Dugu Jingyao shook her head and said, "This is just one of the hurdles. Have you ever considered that you two are siblings? But your royal brother is a stranger to me, and it would be inconvenient for him to travel with you. Furthermore, our family doesn't have a house in Chang'an. If I just go with you, where would I live?"

When Li Ruo heard this, she wondered why it was so troublesome. Li Ruo pouted and said, "Ah? Why is it so troublesome? If it really doesn't work out, sister, you can go later. You can stay in the palace first. After all, you taught me!"

Dugu Jingyao was helpless. She was still a child, thinking too simply: "I can't live in the palace forever, can I?" Li Ruo said: "Then let someone help you and your uncle to build a house in Chang'an?" Dugu Jingyao changed the subject and said: "It's okay, Ruo'er, don't worry, let's take a long-term view. I haven't been to Chang'an yet! Anyway, I have to go there to play. Come on, let's continue practicing!"

Li Ruo was a little discouraged at first, but when she heard Dugu Jingyao say that they would go to Chang'an later anyway, she felt hopeful again. No, she had to talk to her brother in advance. The brother was so smart, he would definitely find a way to get Sister Jingyao to Chang'an. After making up her mind, she continued to learn from Dugu Jingyao.
