Diji Cultivation Manual

Chapter 17. Autumn Hunting

Seeing Nan Qiao's slightly embarrassed expression, Liu Chunian finally let his little apprentice go.

After coming to the tent to rest for a while, an attendant beside Emperor Liang rushed over, saying that Emperor Liang wanted to meet Liu Chunian.

When Liu Chu came here, he had already guessed that Emperor Liang would summon him, so he was not surprised, and immediately followed the attendant to Emperor Liang's camp.

Emperor Liang sat behind the table and looked at Liu Chunian.

"Presumably Yanyu has already told you, and I am deeply sorry for that matter." Emperor Liang rarely admitted his mistake, but that haughty expression did not look like a sincere apology, "I just want to ask you, you Why don't you want to teach Nan Qiao anymore?"

Liu Chunian could understand Emperor Liang's dissatisfaction. After all, what he had done was to some extent a disgrace to the royal family: "I just don't think I'm suitable for teaching Diji, and with the recurrence of old injuries, I'm afraid it will be delayed Emperor Ji."

"You said in front of me that day that you had great ambitions and wanted to show them off." Emperor Liang sneered, "It can be seen that you were deceiving the emperor at that time!"

Liu Chunian didn't refute, but just lowered his head and let Emperor Liang reprimand him. Anyway, he could only reprimand him a few words at most, and he couldn't really do anything to him.

She really wanted to tell Emperor Liang that part of the reason why she refused to teach Nan Qiao was because of him.

Emperor Liang may have some skills in government affairs, but he has a lot of shortcomings in knowing people and being kind.Too suspicious, but whether I have enough skills, so I will inevitably be fooled.

After a long time, Emperor Liang saw that she was pleasing to the eye with lowered eyebrows, but she refused to accept it, so he gritted his teeth and told her to get out.

When she was leaving the tent, she happened to bump into Princess Renjia.

Liu Chunian bowed aside, Princess Renjia ignored her and went straight into the camp.

Princess Renjia's attitude now is quite different from that day, and Liu Chunian felt a little weird.

In Liu Chunian's impression, Princess Renjia was the kind of person who cared about face and affection very much, and she would never be so indifferent unless she was sure that the other party was useless.

Could it be that in Princess Renjia's eyes, I am already half useless, so that she doesn't bother to pay attention to me?

Liu Chunian secretly kept this matter in his heart, and was going to think about it later.

The scenery of Yushan is good, but it is far from the famous Yandang.

Liu Chunian also couldn't explain why he rushed back to the capital from Yandang in the heavy rain, just for this autumn hunting, not to mention that Nan Qiao didn't invite him at all...

For just a moment, she was suddenly worried about her little apprentice—if something happened to her, would Nan Qiao survive?

But the moment she lifted the curtain of the car, she felt that Nan Qiao was different from the naive little Di Ji in her memory, and she didn't know what happened to turn her into what she is now.

Perhaps, she didn't have to come. Nan Qiao had already grown into a person who could stand on her own when she didn't pay attention.

It was getting late, and all the royal family members who came with them had to go to the dinner party, and Liu Chunian naturally stayed in Nan Qiao's camp safely.Although she could also go with Nan Qiao, she didn't really like that kind of overly formal environment, not to mention that if she went, it would undoubtedly add trouble to Emperor Liang.

It's just that although she escaped the dinner, she couldn't escape the hunting on the second day.

Early in the morning, she was woken up by the maid, and when she got up, she realized that Nan Qiao had got up early and was practicing sword outside the tent.

Nan Qiao's aptitude is good, but her time to practice swords is too short after all, so she can't compare with Liu Chunian who has practiced swords for many years.

Liu Chunian stood aside and looked at it for a while, gave her some pointers with a smile, and comforted her: "However, in just a few months, it is very rare for you to make such progress."

Nan Qiao pursed her lips. She also knew that it was too late to learn swords at her own age, but she didn't want to lose anything that Liu Chunian knew.

Seeing that it was almost time, Nan Qiao handed the long sword to the maid, and ordered Jing Huai to bring the breakfast.

Liu Chunian raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and let the maid wash her up and prepare for her meal.

Nan Qiao stood aside boredly, watching the maid comb her hair.

Liu Chunian's hair was extremely long. From Nan Qiao's point of view, the stretched black hair completely covered her slender waist, with an inexplicable lingering feeling.

Because she was going to ride a horse and shoot arrows today, the maid gathered her long hair and tied it with a headband into an extremely neat hairstyle, revealing her fair and delicate neck.

The long black hair was reflected on the white and tender skin, making it difficult for Nan Qiao to look directly at her, and she unconsciously looked away.

This feeling of restlessness lasted until they came to the hunting ground together. Nan Qiao finally drove out the thoughts in her heart, and saluted Emperor Liang in a polite manner.

According to the rules of previous years, the hunt will officially start in the afternoon, and in the morning, the royal family members will gather together to compete in horse racing and archery.

Liu Chunian sat next to Nan Qiao's seat, and Princess Yanyu was on his right.

Yan Yu held the white jade cup and smiled at her, "What do you think of Nan Qiao now?"

"It seems to have grown up, but it's not enough." Liu Chunian took the flagon and poured himself a glass of wine, "Just like this fine wine, it can't be achieved overnight, it will take a long time."

Nan Qiao and the princesses led their horses to the arena, while Yan Yu sat motionless.

It should be so, she has practiced in the battlefield for many years, if she also plays, I'm afraid these little girls will have nothing to do.

Yan Yu glanced at the arena, then turned her head bored and continued to chat with Liu Chunian: "Are you planning to live in Nanliang permanently, are you planning to return to Jin?"

"It depends on your mood." Liu Chunian didn't answer her question directly, but glanced at the opposite side lightly, "Maybe when I get excited one day, I will go to another place for a while."

Yan Yu sensitively noticed the implied meaning in the words, and could vaguely feel her dislike for Jin.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Yu suddenly said calmly, "Yuanxi?"

Generally speaking, when people are distracted, they will react subconsciously when their name is called suddenly.

But Liu Chunian is not an ordinary person. She has been trained to have amazing self-control since she was a child, and Yanyu's small tricks are not enough to make her lose her composure.

She looked up at Yan Yu with a half-smile, with some mockery in her eyes.

Seeing that she failed to deceive her, Yan Yu smiled helplessly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Ever since Bai Qing came to Nanliang, she had faintly doubted Liu Chunian's identity, but suffered from lack of evidence.

After a moment of silence, Yanyu was about to say something to make up for it, but found that Liu Chunian, who was looking at the field with slightly squinted eyes, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Nan Qiao!"
