Chapter 72 - First Day

Murong Xue was pacing back and forth, she didn’t have the courage to just walk in.

She was so torn, she had no idea how to face Sun Zhe, but on the other hand she knew how much she wanted to learn martial arts. Especially after the conversation with Lin Zimo, she was more determined that not only she wanted to learn, she wanted to learn well!

“Princess Eleventh, you have been pacing for the last fifteen minutes, have you decided yet?” asked Lvluo.

Lvluo, being Murong Xue’s maid, she also knew how much the princess wanted this.

“Lvluo, I… …” Murong Xue couldn’t finish her sentence for she hadn’t made up her mind yet.

Clip-clop.

Murong Xue turned around, hoping it was her sister-in-law.

“Xue, you are early, why are you standing here, are you waiting for me?”

It was sister-in-law’s voice, but… …

Murong Xue couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

It was Feng Qing and some other ‘guy’, but she had indeed heard sister-in-law’s voice.

Murong Xue rubbed her eyes and looked at the ‘guy’, “Sister-in-law?”

Murong Xue walked closer to Feng Qing and the ‘guy’, “Are you really my sister-in-law?”

The ‘guy’ was fiddling with a fan in hand and looked at Murong Xue with a smug, “Why are you looking at me like this, Xue, you cannot even recognize me?”

‘It is her! It is my sister-in-law!’

Murong Xue looked Luo Qianqian up and down, “Haha, sister-in-law, why are you dressed like this? You look so good in this outfit!”

“Sister-in-law, I have to say, I want to marry you if you were really a boy.” exclaimed Murong Xue.

Luo Qianqian also laughed, she liked Murong Xue’s reaction.

“Xue, I’m glad you decide to show up. Come on now, let’s get ready for our first day, I brought you a new outfit as well.”

Murong Xue looked hesitant, “But yesterday… …”

Murong Xue didn’t know how to face Sun Zhe, her Senior Disciple.

Luo Qianqian pulled her sleeve and walked closer to her, “Xue, don’t worry about it, I had a talk with Senior Disciple after you left, he knew this was a total misunderstanding, I think maybe he will apologize to you later.”

Hearing that, Murong Xue felt so much better. ‘Yeah, why am I the one who is feeling bitter and hesitant, it wasn’t my fault in the first place. Plus it was just a misunderstanding, there’s no point dwelling on that and waste my opportunity to learn martial arts.’

“Let’s go, sister-in-law, I’m ready for our first day.” Murong Xue caught hold of Luo Qianqian’s arm and together they walked in.

Murong Xue and Luo Qianqian were standing so close, Murong Xue sniffed and sniffed, “Sister-in-law, why do you smell like alcohol?”

Luo Qianqian scratched her hair in embarrassment, “I had a cup or two last night.”

Murong Xue nodded.

Sun Zhe demonstrated for two disciples how to do a proper martial arts squat, and after that he went to wait for Luo Qianqian.

Sun Zhe also wondered would Princess Eleventh show up today, he realized he acted on impulse the day before and wronged Princess Eleventh, but he hoped Princess Eleventh would show up and they could patch things up and move on.

A ‘boy’ and a girl walked hand-in-hand towards him when he was lost in thought.

Sun Zhe took a glimpse at them, such a perfect match.

Sun Zhe took one more glimpse at them, they looked familiar.

Sun Zhe took one more glimpse, wasn’t that Princess Eleventh?

Who was the boy then.

The boy looked so familiar too, he must have seen the boy somewhere.

Wait a second, that was Luo Qianqian!

“Luo Qianqian, is that you?” asked Sun Zhe loudly.

Luo Qianqian and Murong Xue covered their ears mischievously, and Luo Qianqian said “Senior Disciple, why are you being so loud?”

Sun Zhe couldn’t believe his eyes, “Are you really Luo Qianqian?”

‘Isn’t this a pretty boy I’m seeing?’ Sun Zhe was still in shock.

“In the flesh!” Luo Qianqian chuckled, she had to say she liked everyone’s reaction and she liked this outfit.

Luo Qianqian’s eyes travelled back and forth on Sun Zhe and Murong Xue, then Luo Qianqian looked at Sun Zhe in a serious manner, “Senior Disciple, I believe you have something to say to Princess Eleventh, don’t you?”

Luo Qianqian looked at Sun Zhe encouragingly.

Sun Zhe took the hint and looked at Murong Xue, “Princess Eleventh, I’m so sorry about yesterday, I shouldn’t jump to the conclusion without hearing you out, can you forgive me please?”

Sun Zhe apologized.

Murong Xue hid the happiness inside and waved her hand casually, “Senior Disciple, don’t mention it, people make mistakes.”

Luo Qianqian smiled, ‘Xue is a big girl now, she cried so hard yesterday and she acted like nothing had happened, good girl.’

Sun Zhe told them Master Lingtian and Mrs Lingtianwon’t be back till evening, so he would be in charge of their training.

“We will train for Lightness Skill today, the key is speed. Let’s start by running a lap around tavern, remember, the key is speed!”

Murong Xue now was also in men’s wear, she also changed a simple hairdo like Luo Qianqian’s.

Hearing what Sun Zhe said, Murong Xue pulled a long face, “Senior Disciple, how far are we running?”

Sun Zhe said, “One lap around the tavern.”

“What?!” exclaimed Murong Xue with her eyes wide open.

This was a huge tavern, how could she run a lap around this tavern!

Sun Zhe continued, “This is your first day, just try to push yourself, there’s no shortcut in martial arts learning.”

Luo Qianqian did a rough calculation herself, one lap around the tavern was about four kilometers.

“All right, are you ready?”
