Chapter 1442 - 741: Falling in Love
...
"My brother said he fell in love with Lan Yan’er," Qing Bei hummed. The little girl sighed, and Qing Shui found it quite amusing. After all, in Jiuzhou, people often mature before age 16 and can be considered adults eligible for marriage and having children.
"Because he was beaten up, he fell in love?" Qing Shui was somewhat puzzled.
"Hmm, it seems Qing Hu still hasn’t shaken off that little rascal?" Qing Shui knitted his brows, lost in thought.
This time, it was Qing Bei’s turn to be confused.
"Brother Shui, you’re the same age as Lan Yan’er, why do you call her a little brat? It feels strange, as if you’re older than her." Qing Bei looked at the always indifferent Qing Shui.
After the transformation, Qing Shui’s temperament underwent significant change. After all, he was an adult, just with a small body back then. It wasn’t until he learned the ancient enhancement technique that he stopped feeling so frustrated. So, from a young age, Qing Bei knew Qing Shui to be indifferent. At least, that’s how Qing Bei understood Qing Shui’s personality.
Knowing that the matter wasn’t as serious eased all the tension from Qing Shui, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Qing Shui had long known that Qing Hu had fallen for Lan Yan’er. As a descendant of a large, luxurious family, despite Qing Hu being only 14, he already had some understanding of emotions between men and women, and shared the passion experienced within the United Union.
Even though Qing Hu was still young, he had a clear mindset, knowing very well what he wanted. When he first proposed to Lan Yan’er, he was rejected multiple times. After all, the maturity of a girl comes earlier, coupled with the fact that she’s a year older than Qing Hu. In Lan Yan’er’s eyes, Qing Hu was just a child, who kept pestering her until she nearly went crazy, and she decided to give Qing Hu an ultimatum.
"As long as you can defeat me before I get married, I’ll marry you without regret."
Qing Hu didn’t truly consider; even if he couldn’t defeat this woman, he still wanted to marry her. So he agreed and proposed the idea of Crystal Stones, which led to him getting beaten, leaving his face and body black and blue. After all, the difference in cultivation levels can’t compare to the burning passion of love!
That was the first time Qing Hu had been beaten by Lan Yan’er, and also the first time Qing Shui knew of her existence. Compared to Qing Hu, Lan Yan’er carries the reputation and name of Lan’s Clan as a prodigy, making Qing Hu aware that marrying her would be harder than ascending to heaven!
This happened half a year ago.
In the subsequent half-year, Qing Hu and Qing Bei began learning the basics of Lonely Fist from Qing Shui. Qing Shui could feel that in the many postures of Lonely Fist, there were traces of Tai Chi Boxing. Isolation Rapid Punch specializes in extremely close combat, as there are many weaknesses and acupoints on the human body, with the truth of Isolation Rapid Punch aimed at exploiting the target’s weak points with a fatal strike.
"My brother willingly went to find her, yet he still lost," Qing Bei mentioned helplessly.
How could he not lose? One is in the Fifth Grade Martial Arts Warrior realm, the other in the Seventh Grade Martial Arts Warrior realm. Qing Shui shook his head and laughed.
"Brother Shui, the ’Lonely Fist’ you taught us is quite terrifying. It’s just that my brother’s cultivation level is lower than hers; if he were also at the Seventh Grade, he could easily defeat Lan Yan’er."
"Oh, why do you say that?" Qing Shui asked excitedly. Qing Shui knew that martial arts in Jiuzhou could be divided into four realms: Postnatal, Innate, Legendary, Shenzhou. Each of these four realms could be further divided into four grades: Yellow
Qing Shui once heard Qing Yi mention that the Qing Family’s "Blue Lotus Art" could be classified as Postnatal Heaven realm, while the Lan Family’s family technique "Frozen Swordsmanship" could be categorized in the Postnatal realm grading technique. Then... what about his own ancient enhancement technique? Which realm and grade does it belong to? Qing Shui didn’t know.
Qing Shui only had the opportunity to use Lonely Fist against the Golden Werewolf. He hadn’t fought with anyone yet, so naturally, upon hearing Qing Hu could use the Lonely Fist he had learned for only half a year to fight opponents 2 levels higher, Qing Shui focused all his attention on uncovering every detail of the battle.
"Initially, Lan Yan’er didn’t even embrace my brother. I could see she deliberately held back, using only Fifth Grade strength to fight my brother equally. Perhaps in her mind, she was battling someone who knew nothing of martial arts skills, only recently elevated to Fifth Grade ’Martial Arts Warrior’, believing she didn’t need to showcase her true strength. She replaced sword with fingers and severely underestimated Qing Hu’s fighting capabilities, almost losing in three steps. She was forced to retreat, with her entire arm numb."
After listening to Qing Bei, Qing Shui could deduce that Qing Hu had aimed for Lan Yan’er’s Youchi Acupoint on her arm.
"After that, Lan Yan’er dared not underestimate my brother anymore. She immediately unleashed her strength, using martial arts skills clearly superior to Qing Hu’s ’Lonely Fist.’ My brother could only fend off some of her moves and ultimately succumbed!
"This may not be a bad thing; this event will temper the heart of Qing Hu, potentially motivating Lan Yan’er to ultimately become the expert Qing Hu desires to be.
Qing Shui gently tapped his forehead while pondering his future. At least he wouldn’t be troubled by the Lan Clan; if he couldn’t even handle the Lan Clan, how would he leave this remote place, and how would he challenge the top experts of Jiuzhou? When facing those entrenched, thousand-year-old sects and clans, how would he stand tall?
