Wan Qingyan, who was watching the fight from the side, watched the fierce fight in front of her with great interest. There was a hint of anticipation in her beautiful eyes. She was very interested in the outcome of this competition and couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a playful smile!
Anian dodged He Yue's attack nimbly, but she suddenly stopped as if she was under a spell. She supported her knees with her hands, gasping for breath, her chest heaving violently!
When He Yue saw A Nian like this, she suddenly felt worried, afraid that A Nian might have an accident, so she slowed down the speed of swinging the sword!
"Anian, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
He Yue strode towards A Nian and asked with concern. However, before she could get close to A Nian, she heard a crisp sound, and the long sword in her hand was knocked to the ground by A Nian!
And A Nian didn't hesitate at all. After knocking the sword out of He Yue's hand, he swung the sword again and instantly put the wooden sword against He Yue's throat!
"Master He, this is what you taught me: deception is the key to success in war!"
A Nian raised her eyebrows and smiled proudly, her eyes lighting up, then she retracted the wooden sword and bowed respectfully to He Yue. She just wanted to win the competition in front of Wan Qingyan, but she still respected her teacher in her heart!
"Well done, An Nian. I didn't expect you to have mastered the art of deception. You're truly one step ahead of your teacher!"
At first, He Yue really didn't expect that A Nian would plot against her like this. She widened her eyes in shock, but she quickly reacted. A relieved smile appeared on her face. She walked up to him and touched A Nian's little head!
"He Yue, I think your display of affection is too obvious. It seems like you really dote on your little disciple!"
Wan Qingyan smiled, clapped her hands, and walked quickly towards the two of them with brisk steps. Her bright eyes saw through everything!
One could immediately notice the embarrassment that was difficult to conceal on He Yue's face. After all, as a master, he was defeated by his own little disciple, which was not very reasonable!
So, Wan Qingyan reached out his hand without hesitation and gently patted He Yue's shoulder, saying softly: "He Yue, don't be too lenient next time, lest you make An Nian proud. You should work harder on her basic skills!"
Hearing Wan Qingyan's words, He Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew very well that Wan Qingyan was trying to give her a way out, so she quickly responded to the other party's words.
"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. It's because you have such a discerning eye that you chose such an outstanding talent like A-Nian!
This child is extremely talented, and with her diligent training, she's making rapid progress. I believe that given time, she'll become one of our best, getting stronger and stronger!"
Although He Yue said this, he still felt a little embarrassed in his heart. He scratched his head unconsciously while speaking, then lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyes, and did not dare to look at Wan Qingyan, as if he was afraid that the other party would see through his deep embarrassment!
Seeing that He Yue still couldn't let go, Wan Qingyan didn't want to say anything more to her. He wanted to give her some space to relax her tense emotions!
"Anian, your method of using deception in war is correct, but you can't use it in front of your own people. You should use it against the enemy!
Although you won this time, this is not a reflection of your true strength. If He Yue didn't really care about you, why would she care about you? She would just kill you with one sword!
You took advantage of He Yue's concern for you, but the enemy won't care about you. Instead, they will take advantage of your weakness to kill you. You need to practice for two more hours today and practice your swordsmanship well. You still have a lot of room for improvement!"
Wan Qingyan walked up to A Nian, pinched her cheek, and spoke to her in a way that was half praising and half criticizing.
"Your Highness, I will never use this trick on my own people again. I will practice even harder, don't worry!"
A Nian knew very well that he had defeated He Yue by relying on conspiracy and trickery, and that it was an unfair victory. In addition, after hearing what Wan Qingyan said, he felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart!
A Nian's originally fair face turned red at this moment. She bit her lips and lowered her head deeply to He Yue again to express her sincere attitude of admitting her mistakes!
He Yue saw A Nian bowing to apologize to him again. He didn't say anything, but just smiled and patted her little head. Everything was said without words!
"He Yue, An Nian, I'm going to be out for a few days. During my absence, you must all follow the Eighth Prince's instructions. When I come back, you can compete again. I'm looking forward to the results!"
"Your Highness, where are you going? How many days will it take?"
As soon as Wan Qingyan finished speaking, Anian immediately asked curiously. In fact, she wanted to follow him, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud!
"Anian, this is a secret. I can't tell you. Hurry up and practice. Don't be lazy!"
Wan Qingyan laughed, reached out and lightly scratched the tip of An Nian's nose, then turned and left without giving her a chance to ask any more questions!
Ah Nian silently watched Wan Qingyan's departing figure, his curiosity growing. He really wanted to know where she was going? What was she going to do? Why was it such a secret? Was she going with someone else?
"Anian, don't look at His Highness, hurry up and continue practicing sword skills. We need to practice for two more hours today!"
He Yue raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, blocked A Nian's sight, drew her attention back, and urged her to continue practicing sword!
"it is good!"
Ah Nian raised his head and looked at He Yue in front of him. He immediately responded obediently, then picked up the wooden sword and practiced swordplay seriously...
Wan Qingyan left the martial arts training ground and went to the small kitchen first to eat something to fill his stomach. Then he returned to his room, changed into ordinary clothes, put on a hat and veil, and walked out of the yamen quickly!
The moment she stepped out of the yamen, she was stunned by the scene before her. The prosperous streets that were usually bustling with people had now become deserted, with no trace of the hustle and bustle of the past.
Only the vendors were guarding their stalls listlessly, with absent-minded expressions on their faces!
"My Lady, where are you going? Why aren't you joining the others to watch the fun at the Cui family? Today, the Fifth Prince has specially sent people to cause trouble for the Cui family!
Everyone is rushing to watch the fun. If it weren't for the fact that my stall needs someone to look after it, I would have gone to join in the fun a long time ago. What a pity..."
Just when Wan Qingyan was puzzled, a pork vendor looked up, saw her, and started to talk a lot. After he finished speaking, he sighed helplessly. It turned out that watching the excitement is human nature, but not being able to watch the excitement is even more torturous!
