C140

At sunset, the hunting squadron finally arrived at the entrance of the Shadow Forest, where the small town was located.

The night was a time when demons and beasts were powerful. As a result, no one would enter the forest. They would rest in the small town for the night, preparing to enter the forest tomorrow.

During the entire day, the crown prince had fought with Bai Ruyue on the carriage for twenty rounds.

He was fully focused and prepared, but he would lose and lose five men.

At the end, he became angry and started to randomly play chess. The result was the same as before, there were still five of them.

The Crown Prince felt like his face was slapped. He clenched his teeth and asked, "Why five?"

Bai Ruyue said apologetically: "master taught Ruyue the art of chess to suppress the enemy by five steps, so …"

"Then why did that Ye guy defeat you?"

Bai Ruyue bit her lower lip. "When he puts it down, for some reason, Ruyue, Ruyue, could not see his move."

The Crown Prince was surprised for a second and then smiled bitterly, "That's right. How could he have a way to play chess? He was just randomly throwing away a chess piece …" But did I just randomly throw it away? "

"But I can see the way for you. Perhaps, you have a chess piece in your heart!" Bai Ruyue was spouting nonsense.

The crown prince seemed to enjoy hearing that, and immediately asked her who her master was.

Bai Ruyue smiled: "master is indeed master."

The Crown Prince was smart, upon hearing this answer, he knew that the other person didn't want to say it, or maybe they couldn't. He immediately waved his hand and said that he would fight again tomorrow, then released Bai Ruyue.

Returning to the guest room, Bai Ruyue was like a hungry ghost as she started to dig for food. Playing chess was a mental and physical matter. Besides, the crown prince's chess skills weren't that bad either.

When she was full, she touched her belly and leaned against the wall, but just as she was about to get up, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"I, Duke Yi."

Bai Ruyue's mouth twitched, and thought, could this man be looking for trouble?

He quickly wiped his mouth and after getting dressed, he opened the door and greeted respectfully, "Ru Yue greets Duke Yi."

Before she could finish kneeling, the Duke Yi stopped her. She then noticed that the Duke Yi was still hugging a guqin.

It was not a Baoqin, but it was a good guqin that was expensive.

"Your zither skill is superb, already surpassing me. As long as it's not an official occasion, there's no need to kneel before me!" Duke Yi had a straight face: "I came to ask you for your skills in life. Please teach me!"

"Ah?" "This … like the moon …" Bai Ruyue didn't think that Duke Yi, who had cried so much yesterday, would actually fall down and get up to find her to learn some zither skills.

"White Girl is not willing?" Duke Yi looked at Bai Ruyue's stuttering appearance, and frowned: "Although I am your wastrel, my foundation is not bad. I am your student, you do not lose face!"

"Duke Yi, please do not say that. Ru Yue only, I don't dare to be your master …"

"You must dare!" Duke Yi was a little excited:

"The Baoqin is in your hands, although it has left me, I cannot deny that this was also a fortunate thing! I consider myself to be an outstanding person. Only when I meet you do I know that there's someone outside the heaven. This is heaven's will for me to take a step further! "

As Duke Yi said this, he clenched his teeth and kneeled on one knee. "Yan Liu is willing to acknowledge White Girl as his zither master.

Bai Ruyue stood there in shock, she did not expect that Sha Yanliu was actually so infatuated with the zither techniques to such an extent!

At that moment, looking at Duke Yi who was kneeling on one knee,hee actually felt good in her heart. Aiya, not only did he win over a Baoqin, she even accepted a disciple from a duke?

Tsk tsk, did she earn big this time, or did she earn big?

"If Your Highness really wants to learn it from Ruyue, come back in two hours. Ruyue has just finished her meal, so she doesn't want to play the zither." As Bai Ruyue spoke, he held back and helped Sha Yanliu up: "Ru Yue is just a lowly commoner, you don't deserve to kneel down."

Even though her words sounded humble, she didn't stop them when they were kneeling. On the other hand, she was putting on a teacher's airs. At this moment, she was truly putting on airs.

Sha Yanliu did not seem to think this was important at all, his face immediately revealed traces of excitement: "Alright, Yan Liu will come again for guidance two hours later!"

Sha Yanliu left, the figure of his back carrying the zither did not have any of Wang Sun's imposing aura, there was only the piety of a student towards the zither.

Seeing him disappear into the distance, Bai Ruyue couldn't help but laugh lightly as she stretched out his hand to close the door. But just as the door was closed, a hand reached out to block him, and then a certain Overseer stood at the door:

"Not bad, my concubine who didn't enter my house actually had a disciple of a duke. Heh, when you enter the mansion in the future, you must give me some face!"

The corner of Bai Ruyue's mouth twitched, she helplessly moved aside to invite someone in, and then closed the door.

"Master, the Duke Yi is respectful to a commoner girl like me as his master. I feel that this person's character is not bad."

Overseer glanced at her, "Be careful in the future. There will be disciples, and no master!"

Bai Ruyue's heart skipped a beat, "Master, you mean …."

"There's no meaning, I'm just telling you, in the face of this seemingly innocent person, it's best to leave something behind." As Overseer spoke, he glanced at the remaining dishes on the table. Indeed, there were only green peppers, radish and celery.

His heart began to churn, and he turned and walked away.

Bai Ruyue stood in place, and it was only after a long while that she muttered: "Did he specifically come here to remind me?"

Two hours later, Sha Yanliu arrived as promised. Because of Lord Commander's reminder, Bai Ruyue naturally had to leave something behind.

However, for one, Sha Yanliu was already at the peak of the second level.

Secondly, Bai Ruyue's true abilities were much, much higher than Sha Yanliu. Even if she taught him, she was still a far cry from her level, so she didn't need to worry.

Therefore, she explained some adjustments to Sha Yanliu and emphasized that whether or not it was possible to become a living person also depended on fate. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to continue improving.

Sha Yanliu happily expressed his gratitude and then left. That night, Bai Ruyue, who was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep, slept soundly.

However, someone couldn't sleep at night – his mind was filled with green peppers, radishes, celery …

The next day, just as dawn broke, everyone was called out to gather and prepare to set off.

In the forest, it was impossible to travel by car, so they all rode horses.

Bai Ruyue was only a fourteen year old girl. Although her body had been drawn a long time ago, she was still a little too petite in front of the group of men.

The Crown Prince suggested to find a short horse to use for her legs, but when Lord Commander rode over, he didn't even stop at all. Instead, he slid to the side and reached out his hand to scoop Bai Ruyue up onto his horse, right in front of his chest.

"What kind of pony are you riding? If you can't catch up and lose it, I'll lose a beauty and go home. Come, this overseer will lead you to ride on it and let you take advantage of me!"

Someone boasted shamelessly, and the surrounding people all turned their heads to the side.

Bai Ruyue grinded her teeth — Taking all the advantages? You're clearly the one taking advantage, sir!
