Jianhan, you can really drink!
o6FF84c.jpg
I've never complained about excessive alcohol. I'm more curious about you. How well can you drink?
VgzUNto.jpg
I might not hold my liquor so well, but I can certainly drink a few.
o6FF84c.jpg
Excellent. Cheers!
SsInvDK.jpg
Cheers!
o6FF84c.jpg
Once more!
SsInvDK.jpg
Yea verily!
o6FF84c.jpg
Again!
SsInvDK.jpg
Yeah! Urp. (Oh man, I think I've had too much, I'm not feeling well.)
o6FF84c.jpg
Come on, one more time!
SsInvDK.jpg
Sure.. one.. one more.
SsInvDK.jpg
I-uh
o6FF84c.jpg
HA HA HA HA! Fantastic! You're a bold man just like myself. Got to say, I've found a good friend today. Let's drink again next time, mate. I've got to go now! Bye!
XBoOAWG.jpg


Amazingly the only downside is -10 to Master Wuxia's affection. And I got +5 Liquor.
The week after, Xiaoyao Valley gets a visitor.

FlmJbcg.jpg

9xc3IOD.png
Yes, miss! You're at the right place!(Oh! Such a lovely girl!)
IYutbbG.jpg
My name's Wang Rong and I'm here to see Mr. Wuxia Zi. Will you, handsome boy, introduce me to him?
Ep4KTwd.jpg
You want to see my master? OK, come with me!

To a dark alley. And smell this rag. Does it smell like chloroform?

IYutbbG.jpg
Thank you!
Ckd1q0E.jpg

JnxtLst.jpg
Oh! She's here! Let her in!
TEuPMjh.png
(Wow, he's expecting her?)
IYutbbG.jpg
Thank you! Master Wuxia, I'm here to pay my respects!
TEuPMjh.png
??? (Who's she to him? A distant relative perhaps?)
JnxtLst.jpg
Stand up, child.
IYutbbG.jpg
Thank you, master!
JnxtLst.jpg
I've read the letter from your father, so you'll start learning here tomorrow!
IYutbbG.jpg
Yes, master!
DVyOdwt.png
Master, we've come to answer your summons.
Fs316Xy.jpg
Do we have a guest?
JnxtLst.jpg
Nice timing you two! Let me introduce all of you. This is your new sister-in-training, Rong'er, and Rong'er, these three are...
IYutbbG.jpg
I know who they are! They're Gu Yuexuan, Jing Ji and third disciple, Shi Di Fen.
JnxtLst.jpg
Oh? What, you already knew?
IYutbbG.jpg
Of course lah! They're accomplished students under the tutelage of a great master! Master and seniors' reputations are very high within the martial arts world so it's not really strange for me to know them.
IftQwzb.png
Heheh, yes it's true! The best way to learn is to learn from the best! Hahah, such a polite child you are. Haha...
IYutbbG.jpg
I'm just telling the truth~
IftQwzb.png
Hahahah!
DVyOdwt.png
You really flatter me. Welcome to Xiaoyao Valley, sister.
Ep4KTwd.jpg
Welcome, sister-in-training! (Pfft! She's barely here for 10 minutes and already the old man has fallen for her charms. I should learn from her.)
IYutbbG.jpg
Nice to meet you all. How about if I prepare dinner for you all right now?
Fs316Xy.jpg
No need for that, just let this guy do it.
TEuPMjh.png
Huh? Why me?
Fs316Xy.jpg
Of course it's your business!
TEuPMjh.png
But why?
IYutbbG.jpg
Don't worry, just let me get to work. I promise I won't let master and brothers down!
JnxtLst.jpg
Oh? Very well. Let us sample your work then.
DVyOdwt.png
Let me help.
IYutbbG.jpg
There's no need for that, I can handle this myself. Why don't you all have a good rest instead? Dinner will be ready soon!
JnxtLst.jpg
She's a good child! Seems my fear is unnecessary...
TEuPMjh.png
Fear? Master, what are you worried about?
JnxtLst.jpg
Er, nothing!
TEuPMjh.png
(How suspicious.)

A short while later...

IYutbbG.jpg
Thanks for waiting! Tonight's main course is lamb fried with vegetables.
DVyOdwt.png
Sister-in-training, thank you for your hard work.
9xc3IOD.png
It smells delicious!
JnxtLst.jpg
Let's dig in!

Everyone took a spoonful and was stunned. Master Wuxia was the first to speak.

JnxtLst.jpg
Oh! W-what an exquisite flavor!

One by one, the rest follows...

XuvasZf.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
(...how can eating this lead to such an illusion?)
9xc3IOD.png
I.. I saw the sheep and heard the bleating, the sheep came back to life!
c4XJQ5P.png
Hell! That's gross!
IftQwzb.png
My, my, I've heard of poetry in paintings but never thought I'd see art in food. Rong'er is really good at cooking!
IYutbbG.jpg
Hehe! You can leave the daily cooking to me from now on, if you wish!
IftQwzb.png
HMMM! (We can have it everyday..!?!)
IYutbbG.jpg
Ah! The soup must be ready, let me go get it.
DVyOdwt.png
The soup must be hot, let me get it instead!
IYutbbG.jpg
Thank you, Yuexuan! Oh, I left something in the kitchen too, let us go together.
JnxtLst.jpg
How considerate of Yuexuan!
OP0NcA5.png
...
FU7JgU1.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
Look at this guy's weird face. He must be imagining wicked thoughts!
TEuPMjh.png
Nuh uh! It's you who has wicked thoughts!
OP0NcA5.png
Pfft. You know what I'm thinking?
TEuPMjh.png
Must be. Since you already know what I'm thinking.
iABq2np.png
Both of you stop thinking!
IYutbbG.jpg
The soup's here! Enjoy everyone!

116 - Mass Tacs
bSZPnGg.jpg

TA1IoUh.jpg
Master Wuxia, this is! It's the legendary-
JnxtLst.jpg
Yes! This is the legendary Zhenlong Weiqi Manual! This manual was made by a predecessor of my Sect. For years, he invited experts all over the world to solve it, but no one succeeded.
JnxtLst.jpg
Eventually a master from Shaolin Temple, aka my grandmaster Xuzhu Zi, solved it by chance.
Er9VEuw.jpg
However, the record of the solution by Xuzhu Zi was not passed down. What a pity, sigh...
TA1IoUh.jpg
Fret not, Master! We might be able to solve this. I'm eager to give it a try!
Q4P0CmG.jpg

DVyOdwt.png
Master, you seem to be in a good mood. I'm not very good at playing weiqi, I might make a fool of myself.
TA1IoUh.jpg
Says the champion of the last Luoyang Weiqi Tournament. Who would believe that?
DVyOdwt.png
It's because an expert like you did not participate.
TEuPMjh.png
(I didn't know Yuexuan had this talent.)
TA1IoUh.jpg
Solving Zhenlong is the dream of everyone who has learned weiqi. You two are in great luck! Had you come a little later, your master and I might have already solved it.
ZlGzbq6.jpg

i9QC1EL.jpg

2pDZeLt.jpg

3Icenx3.jpg

9V5OeJt.jpg

rWPvvcj.jpg
Jing Ji! You came just in time! They're acting so strangely!
Er9VEuw.jpg
*Sigh* one more thing, I'm a smart man who is adept in music, chess, calligraphy and painting but I somehow have a disciple who only knows how to fight and can barely use his brain...
c4XJQ5P.png
Hey! Who are you talking about, huh?!
Er9VEuw.jpg
Oooo, I'm so miserable!
OP0NcA5.png
Idiots. I got no time for this. Eh? You're all just playing weiqi? What the heck? You're all so distressed over this stupid board game manual? Boring! Why not just place the stone wherever you like?!
zAqlM6c.jpg

TA1IoUh.jpg
Eh!!!?!
Er9VEuw.jpg
..no way??
ZscCbIK.png
He's killing his own stones? Ji, you put it in a death spot.. Why?! WHY!?!?!- Wait!
ZscCbIK.png
Despite the loss, the white player is making a come back!
OP0NcA5.png
??
TA1IoUh.jpg
He made it! HE DID IT! He deciphered Zhen Long Weiqi Manual! That's definitely a resurrection play from the verge of death! His move went against every rule in weiqi. Only a fool would have ever placed their piece there!
Ep4KTwd.jpg
So this means Jing Ji is one?
c4XJQ5P.png
HEY!
JnxtLst.jpg
That's it! People who know the rules would never make that move, but that's exactly what it took to solve this problem: to tear apart before rebuilding. Ha-ha, man we've been tricked by this manual.
TA1IoUh.jpg
This manual is dangerous, the better your understanding of weiqi is, the more likely you'll fall to its traps. In the worst case, you'll lose your sanity! We couldn't have made the breakthrough if Ji hadn't made that random move. If that had gone on a while longer, we might've... *sigh*
ZscCbIK.png
Yes, we were all saved by Ji.
OP0NcA5.png
Bah! I don't understand a single thing you just said. Tsch! Boring! See you!
JnxtLst.jpg
Yuexuan, Di Fen remember this lesson: tear down before building, fail before succeeding. This can also be applied to martial arts training.

Martial Knowledge +10

117 - Bitter Sweet dumplings
ugi0Lvp.jpg

CQ0RJhA.jpg

CPtezj2.jpg

VgzUNto.jpg
Miss Xiangyun! Today is the Festival of Lanterns. Master sends me to deliver sweet dumplings to the seven sages!
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Ahh, so that's why the city is so lively with all the decorations lately. I guess it's that time of the year.
Ep4KTwd.jpg
You're so busy that you don't even know the festival is coming?
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Should everyone just be like you who eats all day with nothing to do?
2JYyRC7.png
Eh? But wasn't it you who asked why I'm here instead of practicing martial arts?
JZVZ9aJ.jpg
Haha, enough jest. I've sold out my medicines for today. Since I'm free now, let's go check out the lantern festival in town. Will you accompany me?
FU1zma5.jpg

2JYyRC7.png
OK, I'd love to. Shall we leave now?
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Look at how impatient you are. Alright. Let's go now. I'll cook you something when we get back.
2JYyRC7.png
OK. (Why does she look so happy? Eh... she suddenly become so adorable.)
5NUgZR5.jpg

9xc3IOD.png
Xiangyun, look! That pair of lanterns looks very special. It has a lot of small magpie lanterns surrounding it. So gorgeous. What's so special about it?
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Well, I know you're no scholar, but surely you know the tale of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd?
TEuPMjh.png
Uh.. what's that?
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Are you serious? Fine. It is said the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd can only meet in the night on July 7th once a year. Their reunion was stopped by the Milky Way. The magpies in the sky are so touched by their love, they made a bridge to help them reunite.
TEuPMjh.png
Wow. So that's the origin of Chinese Valentine's Day... that's very touching.
Aqk6ei1.jpg

mRz0Pvw.jpg
So desperate for company?
VDw92ja.jpg
Of course! Who would like being alone on Valentine's Day! That's so pathetic.
mRz0Pvw.jpg
You know there's another story about the Chinese Valentine's day. It's rumored that the Weaver Girl is beautiful and smart with a lot of skills and gifts. On Valentine's Day, if you beg the Weaver Girl for ingenuity, you can replace your clumsiness with ingenuity. That's why it's called the Begging Festival.
mRz0Pvw.jpg
What I'm saying is, even if you don't do needle work and such, it never hurts to give it a try. We'll see if it works for you.
VDw92ja.jpg
Ugh, you're making fun of me again.
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Hehe~I didn't mean to. You're not that bad.
RNdxyws.jpg

GvFaUqW.jpg

9xc3IOD.png
Eh, Miss Shen, there are some fun competitions there, shall we take a look?
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Geez, you're more of a child than me. Alright, let's join in the fun.
9xc3IOD.png
Great! Which game do you want to join in, the Lantern Riddle or dumpling eating competition?
JZVZ9aJ.jpg
Eh.. didn't he just say that the dumpling eating competition is for lovers? We're not- it's so embarassing. Maybe the riddle contest is a better idea.
TJHqKSI.jpg


Umm.. ok. There's no need to rush.

LR5Xb0t.jpg

dQ86TS3.jpg


:lol: Women.

TEuPMjh.png
Huh? Why do you look upset?
mRz0Pvw.jpg
N-nothing at all. I said you might not be smart enough to win the prize! Haha!
TEuPMjh.png
Hmph! I'll prove myself!
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Good luck!

Ahahah that was a free +1 Comprehension for every right answer.

Fd9x0QO.jpg

2JYyRC7.png
As long as you're happy.
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Look, tonight's a full moon. It's so beautiful. Just like a pellet of silvery sinseng.
TEuPMjh.png
To me it looks more like a green bean cake.
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Maybe in Uncle Ju Sou's opinion, it looks more like the white piece in weiqi?
2JYyRC7.png
The same thing can mean differently depending on each individual. Actually, it's just a moon, not a pellet, chess piece, or green bean cake. This teaches us that we should be generous about others' opinion...
RHWvXot.jpg
Zzzzz...
Km692X2.png
I rarely talk about life's truth. That's so mean!
mRz0Pvw.jpg
How can a dummy like you have such a profound view in life? Then, you should be generous about what I said about you, too.
Km692X2.png
Ah, Xiangyun, you're born to bully me.
ZvuVj9S.jpg
Yawn.
mRz0Pvw.jpg
Tired? Want to try my new energy boosting pills?
O4vdgk8.jpg


:argh: You idiot. How can you fall asleep at such a crucial time as this?

JZVZ9aJ.jpg
You must be tired.
2JYyRC7.png
Zzzz...
JZVZ9aJ.jpg
Fine.
mRz0Pvw.jpg
I will lend you my shoulder.

Yeah but thunderbombs are nice in combat too. :smug:

iABq2np.png
NONSENSE!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Heheh!
rWPvvcj.jpg
Don't laugh at me! You read it!
Fs316Xy.jpg
I wouldn't, even if I could.
g5sv2tu.jpg
I believe it should be, 'to spit forth like the dragon pouring water, ten thousand horses galloping.'
JnxtLst.jpg
Correct. Do you know the meaning?
g5sv2tu.jpg
Do tell, please.
JnxtLst.jpg
This is about the secret of attack. Conserve your strength until the best possible moment, and when that moment arrives, unleash everything in one move to win. Keep that in mind and reflect upon it.
JnxtLst.jpg
Ji has done well at this. He combines his broadsword with swordsmanship to launch multiple, simultaneous, and devastating deep strikes that leaves his opponents no room for counter attack. With this, he attained great fame over the years.
TEuPMjh.png
(Whoa, Master is praising Ji!)
OP0NcA5.png
Humph.
Ep4KTwd.jpg
(He's clearly thrilled, but acts like he doesn't care. Haha, what an immature brat.)
JnxtLst.jpg
Students, I'm available today. Let's spar. Don't hold back.

120 - The Eventful Blade
Cg0oHLP.jpg

OP0NcA5.png
Humph! I knew that already!
TEuPMjh.png
(Ji seems to be very pleased of master's praise. He always talks back to the master but I think he respects master very much, deep inside.)
KFYt57R.jpg

TEuPMjh.png
I think the meaning of your teachings matches perfectly with Xiaoyao Broadsword Techniques.
JnxtLst.jpg
Exactly! Jing Ji likes to attack with broadsword and defend with his sword. Look at how he attacks! It's just like the power of 10,000 horses galloping, which is the essence of Xiaoyao Broadsword Technique.
JnxtLst.jpg
Your broadsword techniques are getting better, it's time I help you improve it to a higher level.

??? Huh?

JnxtLst.jpg
This Wuji Broadsword Technique comes from 'A Happy Excursion' by Zhuangzi: Outside infinity, there's endless infinity. The attack is like a never-ending wave. Infinite. I'll teach you right now. Please focus.

+6000 EXP in Blades. Just like that :lol:

I injured my arm after autographing 10,000 times recently. It feels numb.
2JYyRC7.png
That I can help with. You will feel better after I relieve the pressure on your Jianjing acupoint. Come on, let me do it for you.
7N7bWQi.jpg

2JYyRC7.png
Haha, they gave me too much credit lah.
I3RKoSD.jpg
Haha, I'll come back to you if I have the same problem. Thanks a lot.

New Title and +10 Rep.
Now to try and max out the Alchemy and Herbalism. (Fucking minigames)

121 - Master's Girl?
EAUvVIc.jpg

eeVKfnL.jpg
Gah! I can't take it anymore! Senior, I give up. You're too good.
VgzUNto.jpg
Oh, it's Miss Qin! Hongshang!
WnPfJNQ.png
Ah, Di Fen. What a coincidence!
VgzUNto.jpg
Who's your friend?
WnPfJNQ.png
A very powerful senior, I just lost to her on a breath-holding competition. She could actually hold longer than 30 minutes, it's so amazing!
7xCnXHt.jpg
You're still young. I believe you'll do the same when you reach my age.
iZtu2OC.jpg
(Her age? Hold old is this woman? I can see her white hair, but I can't guess her real age.)
WnPfJNQ.png
Senior, let me introduce Shi Di Fen, one of my best friends. He has done a lot for me.
VgzUNto.jpg
Nice to meet you, senior.
7xCnXHt.jpg
Shi, your internal style seems to originate from Taoist sect?
iZtu2OC.jpg
Your insight is really sharp, senior. How could you know that?
7xCnXHt.jpg
After an extended period of training, one can distinguish another person's internal style's source from just his appearance or breath.
7xCnXHt.jpg
Such as the Vajra Sect Disciple from Western Regions. Their training belongs to Hegemonic style, so when they completed their training, their head will have a depressed fracture.
7xCnXHt.jpg
Similar tell-tale distinctions also surfaces from the Violet Dawn technique from Huashan Sect. If they achieve the highest level of this technique, their faces will radiate with some kind of violet mist and their breathing becomes deeper, so where an ordinary person needs ten, they only need to take a single breath to match.
7xCnXHt.jpg
According to your bright eyes and strong vital essence, as well as your breathing, I'm guessing your master must be Wuxia Zi from Xiaoyao Valley.
LOpKyu7.jpg


:lol: I don't even.

iZtu2OC.jpg
It's true. I am the third disciple of our master from Xiaoyao Valley.
7xCnXHt.jpg
In the past, I was on good terms with your master. As for the breathing competition, it's a means of practicing Trance of Convalescence. Would you like to compete with me?
iZtu2OC.jpg
Sounds good to me. But please have mercy on me, senior.

Some time later...

mCfOkt8.jpg
Huff...ha...whoa..that nearly killed me! How long did I do?
WnPfJNQ.png
You were great, you held on longer than I did!
7xCnXHt.jpg
Mmm, you are worthy to be the disciple of Wuxia Zi. Even Wuxia could not accomplish this much when he was young.
VgzUNto.jpg
Thank you for your praise, old lady. Your inner strength is unfathomable. I'm totally not your match, I admire you.
7xCnXHt.jpg
You and your master, you two are so similar when he was young...
iZtu2OC.jpg
Old Lady, it seems that you are well acquainted with my master?

The old lady sighed as she gazes at the two and changed the topic abruptly.

7xCnXHt.jpg
Boy, I hope both of you could understand this saying: cherish the present. You two are well-matched, that means karma, it's not a small thing, both of you should grasp the moment, do not let yourself feel regret in the future.
eeVKfnL.jpg
Senior! What are you saying all the sudden!
rh0K5XV.jpg

zKq1J57.jpg


:lol:

mCfOkt8.jpg
Did I say something wrong?
7xCnXHt.jpg
Never mind her, Di Fen. That child is extremely shy. I thought she genuinely likes you because I've never seen her being so friendly with other men.
iZtu2OC.jpg
Old Lady, how long have you known her?
7xCnXHt.jpg
Our Tianshan Sect has a rapport with ThunderHall. You could even say I watched her grow.
iZtu2OC.jpg
(I did not expect her to be a member of Tianshan Sect.)

Later, back at Xiaoyao Valley...

E8PeQTH.jpg

mCfOkt8.jpg
Master, take it easy. I just met your old friend. She's very beautiful. Master, when did you meet that kind of beauty? I never heard you mention her before.
IftQwzb.png
W-what? A beautiful Senior? A friend of mine? What does she look like?
9xc3IOD.png
She looks really well in her years. She has beautiful silver hair and has an air of nobility. I could also smell some kind of fragrance...
9xc3IOD.png
She can even tell I am your disciple by just my breath alone!
IftQwzb.png
WHAT! It could be! Probably! Most likely! Where did you meet her!
mCfOkt8.jpg
I saw her by the lakeside. (Why's he so anxious?)
IftQwzb.png
Lakeside! XIAO XIAO! IT'S REALLY YOU, ISN'T IT! You came to visit me! WAIT FOR ME! I'M COMING!
mCfOkt8.jpg
Wow. He's gone just like that. It's rare to see him so excited like that. Maybe they have a long history. Eh... better not ask. Don't want to make things awkward.

Er9VEuw.jpg
How long since we last met?
7xCnXHt.jpg
The last time we met each other was the day I got married. It has been more than 47 years and 7 months.

:(

Er9VEuw.jpg
It's so long ago.
7xCnXHt.jpg
Yes, it's been a really long time.
iABq2np.png
He Aotian, that bastard. I thought he would bring you happiness. I never thought he'd die so young.
Er9VEuw.jpg
It's must been hard, living by yourself.
7xCnXHt.jpg
Even though Aotian died so young, our Tianshan Sect has a lot of people, so I didn't feel too lonely. And now his brother Wei Feng is a perfect leader. His wife Yi Lan treats me like her real sister and her daughter Juan is haughty but kind...
7xCnXHt.jpg
Those years... I lived happily...
Er9VEuw.jpg
Sister-in-training.
Er9VEuw.jpg
I felt regret everyday at the start.. if I could have been much braver... and I...
7xCnXHt.jpg
Shi, do not dwell on the past. I hoped you would find happiness too. Since Xuanming Zi betrayed our master and surrendered to the Cult of Tianlong... I am worried for you all the time.
7xCnXHt.jpg
You are a kind person. You'd sacrifice yourself for other people's happiness. (Even if the sacrifice,..sometimes can be very painful.)
Er9VEuw.jpg
I am fine. I have three apprentices, they're all good children. Yuexuan is a benevolent man, his name is famed throughout the martial arts world and has brought nothing but honor to our sect's name.
Er9VEuw.jpg
Ji'er is rebellious, but I know deep down in his heart, he is very kind. He just doesn't know how to express his feelings.
Er9VEuw.jpg
You've met Di Fen, since you've praised him, I don't need to say more of him.
Er9VEuw.jpg
I treat them all like my sons. At this age, to have these apprentices.. what more need I ask for?
7xCnXHt.jpg
Shi, don't you remember in the past? We always walked on the forest tracks. You asked me to sing a ditty for you and you always picked beautiful flowers and gently lay them on my head...
Er9VEuw.jpg
How can I forget? I'll always remember.

Yeah, right. :negative:

Shi. There's a lot of guards within and their leaders are extremely dangerous. Don't be reckless. Caution is key.

Alright!

Man, I dunno why Jing Ji doesn't come along. Oh well, more for me!

I think this broadsword style is meant to be AOE-focused. Since every strike seems to be a 2-hex piercing straight types. It's 'ok' just not what I need right now. The bandits have this weird internal art that heals adjacent ally per turn. But it really doesn't matter cause we're doing tons of damage to them. More than they can heal.

Master, I also played a part!
JnxtLst.jpg
Hahah, good work both of you. Here, some medicine. Just in case.

Man, we didn't need any back then. But thanks, Master.

127 - What's Rong?

voS81Qr.jpg

DVyOdwt.png
Morning. Looks like we won't see Wang Rong again today.
TEuPMjh.png
She's not going to train with us again? What is she busy with?
OP0NcA5.png
Who knows! She's been here for more than ten days but all she does is spend seven days visiting Wangyou Valley with master, and another two days mining with Hu. The day before yesterday, she planted flower and sang with master, yesterday she painted and play some music for master. As for today, I've got no idea what she is up to. What kind of training is that?
Ep4KTwd.jpg
Wow.. you know a lot about her. (What a stalker.)
TEuPMjh.png
Oh! I passed by Master's study just now, I think he's playing chess with someone. Could it be her?
DVyOdwt.png
Let's have a look.
JGIw6BK.jpg

IYutbbG.jpg
Aiyaaa.. Master! I lost for the seventh time!
JnxtLst.jpg
Cheer up, child. Your skill level for your age isn't that bad. Just put more effort in your practice and eventually I can't beat you anymore.
IYutbbG.jpg
Yeah! Master! You should teach me more. I'll beat Master Ju Sou with the moves you taught me!
JnxtLst.jpg
Heheh! Good, very good! You have ambition!
IYutbbG.jpg
Master, we've been playing for a long time, you must be tired. Let me give you a massage.
JnxtLst.jpg
Why thank you, Rong Er. My shoulders are kind of sore.
IYutbbG.jpg
You're welcome! Master, is this level of strength okay?
JnxtLst.jpg
Oh, just nice! I feel so comfortable!
0nwCLy5.jpg

JnxtLst.jpg
Oh, greetings my disciples. See how thoughtful Wang Rong is! You guys should learn from her.
OP0NcA5.png
No. Way.
iABq2np.png
You little brat! You only know how to talk back!
QVH4I1y.jpg

iABq2np.png
Humph! See, Wang Rong is such a sensible girl. Why won't you learn something from her?
DVyOdwt.png
Yes, master.
OP0NcA5.png
(NO. WAY!)
IYutbbG.jpg
Master, you must be thirsty. I'll make you some tea.
iABq2np.png
Took the words right out of my mouth. Off you go then.
IYutbbG.jpg
Alright. I'll be back soon.
DVyOdwt.png
Master. We have something to ask you.
iABq2np.png
Go ahead.
DVyOdwt.png
We remember you promised Wang Rong's father that you would train her personally. At least a week has passed, yet she's still not training. Why is this so?
OP0NcA5.png
Did you forget?

POW!

7wq819Z.jpg

iABq2np.png
You little brat, always no respect for your elders! I did not forget! But I just couldn't persuade her. Just like what her father said...
TEuPMjh.png
What did he say?
JnxtLst.jpg
Firstly, do you know who Wang Rong's father is?
TEuPMjh.png
Uh.. no.
JnxtLst.jpg
Her father's name is Wang Hu.
g5sv2tu.jpg
Wang Hu? The one who is famous for his Berserker Wind Broadsword Techniques?
JnxtLst.jpg
Yes! Wang Rong is the only daughter of the family, therefore he wants to pass on the family's blade arts to her, but she has no interest in martial arts at all. She always tries her best to avoid training. Her father decided to ask for my help to inspire her. But it looks like I've failed, too...
IftQwzb.png
Hm! Wait! I've got it!
iABq2np.png
How about you three train Wang Rong?
g5sv2tu.jpg
Ah?
JnxtLst.jpg
She's around your age, maybe you can influence her more easily.
OP0NcA5.png
Pshaw! This shouldn't be too hard at all.
VgzUNto.jpg
Right on! Becoming a martial arts master is everyone's dream! She'll know that soon!
g5sv2tu.jpg
We'll do our best, since you've entrusted us with this task.
JnxtLst.jpg
Hehehe, great. Then I shall let you take charge. (Finally, I don't have to be the bad guy. Phew!)
IYutbbG.jpg
Master, here's your tea!
JnxtLst.jpg
Rong er, I have something to tell you. I assigned your three seniors to train you. From tomorrow onward, you shall go train with them.
LuXTjKz.jpg
Eh! But Master...
iABq2np.png
No buts! Mmm, this tea is really nice.
Fs316Xy.jpg
Hm! Wang Rong, I'll show you no mercy. So give me your best.
VgzUNto.jpg
Yeah! I'll do my best too. (Hehe! Finally we're training together!)
g5sv2tu.jpg
Take it easy. Just think of it like a study session. See you tomorrow morning, sister-in-training.
LuXTjKz.jpg
...

The next day...

wv1KRy9.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
Uncomfortable? Where do you feel uncomfortable?
LuXTjKz.jpg
Well... how to say it. Girls are.. you know...
TEuPMjh.png
Don't look at me, I don't know!

:lol: And you have 100 medicine. :lol:

g5sv2tu.jpg
Could you explain it to me?
LuXTjKz.jpg
Every month, there are some days girls feel very bad. They might have a pale face, sweat a lot and painful stomachache. Therefore, no physical training is possible.
Fs316Xy.jpg
But you seem quite well at the moment!
LuXTjKz.jpg
No, I don't! Ow ow~ I have a stomachache. My heartbeat is becoming weaker. I'm so dizzy~
TEuPMjh.png
It must be very serious!
g5sv2tu.jpg
Let me get you a doctor.
LuXTjKz.jpg
Senior-brother, there's no need for that. A day's rest or two is enough. But it's hard to say! Sometimes it lasts about a fortnight, another times it will stop at the end of the month for one or two days and then return again next month. It's quite irregular.
Fs316Xy.jpg
Really? If so, then there would be no time left for training.
LuXTjKz.jpg
Ow...it hurts. I feel terrible. You know Gods will punish those who are so cruel to push a girl to train in such a condition.
TEuPMjh.png
Yeah, Gods will punish people for cruelty!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Why are you saying that while staring at me?
g5sv2tu.jpg
I think we better leave Sister-in-training alone. Let her have a good rest.
LuXTjKz.jpg
Thank you, Yuexuan.

Outside, the three disciples discuss the recent discovery.

M0Y3Xor.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
Beats me. I'm not a girl.
g5sv2tu.jpg
How about we go ask master?
VgzUNto.jpg
Good idea!
euHDRpG.jpg

jxlO3XA.jpg

IftQwzb.png
Ah...eh... well. Everyone suffers some pain sometimes. It's perfectly normal.
Fs316Xy.jpg
But what about the girl's source of pain? It's happening to her every month. We boys don't have them. How do you explain that?
IftQwzb.png
It's... ah! Damn! I almost forget! I have an appointment with the Seven Sages today. Bye bye!
Fs316Xy.jpg
I think he doesn't know either.
DVyOdwt.png
Looks like we're just gonna train without her today.

128 - Some chest rubbing might help
RcCaZYJ.jpg

DVyOdwt.png
I've also consulted Dr. Miracle about it and confirmed the same thing. Rong, let's go train!
mCfOkt8.jpg
(Xiangyun gave me a slap when I asked her this question...)
TEuPMjh.png
Guys, she looks really strange today!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Hey! Her face and lips are turning pale. And she's sweating.
g5sv2tu.jpg
Oh my, really!
Fs316Xy.jpg
I see! She lied last time and this time it's for real?
LuXTjKz.jpg
Uuuuu...
g5sv2tu.jpg
It looks like you're in a bad shape now. You need to rest today!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Hmph! I know the date now. So don't try that same trick on us next time!
TEuPMjh.png
Have a good rest, then. We'll leave you alone.
g5sv2tu.jpg
I'll go to Dr. Miracle and get some prescriptions.
37mkwT6.jpg

TEuPMjh.png
What! Why??!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Dude, Rong's sick. One of us should step up.
mCfOkt8.jpg
But why am I the one?
Fs316Xy.jpg
That's not important, man. It's the duty of her seniors to take care of her. Oh, don't forget to serve her meds okay? Don't forget! Ta ta!

129 - No Rong. No Dinner.
dQVjOc7.jpg

mCfOkt8.jpg
Odd. She's not here. Rong is always in the kitchen this time of the day.
BSXNzGw.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
Huh. Why are you here? Where's Rong?
TEuPMjh.png
Dunno. She's already gone when I arrived.
R0wej6Q.jpg

g5sv2tu.jpg
Di Fen, Ji, why are you both here? Where's Wang Rong?
OP0NcA5.png
How would I know? I only know that I'm starving right now and dinner's not ready.
g5sv2tu.jpg
That is so strange. Let's look around, see if there are any clues.
Fs316Xy.jpg
! I found a pool of blood on the ground!
g5sv2tu.jpg
I found a pot of boiled rice, some roast pork, and eggs.
9YJ6B33.jpg


:lol:

Fs316Xy.jpg
Don't talk nonsense. Rice with roast pork and egg is basically char siu rice. What deadly, what ecstasy?
TEuPMjh.png
Don't be fooled. She's a good cook who stays till she finished the dishes. There's only one reason for her to leave before earlier. There must be an ingredient missing. I'm guessing onions! Therefore Wang Rong must be lost somewhere in the forest!
Fs316Xy.jpg
But how do you explain the blood? Maybe she's unwell and went to her bedroom for some rest.
TEuPMjh.png
Isn't it animal blood?
Fs316Xy.jpg
You may be right. Here, why don't you have a taste and see if it's really animal blood?
mCfOkt8.jpg
Uh.. no, thank you.
Fs316Xy.jpg
Hmph! I'll look for her in her bedroom. Does she intend to have me starve to death!
g5sv2tu.jpg
I shall search the valley for her.
mCfOkt8.jpg
Brother, did you not hear what I say just now? Rong must be somewhere in the forest.
DVyOdwt.png
I trust you in my heart, Di Fen. But think your assumption has no basis in logic. Anyway, with the three of us searching different places, we will have more chance of finding her.

130 - Can't be Rong
The search begins...

lPzCslf.jpg

NHZ31oc.jpg

TEuPMjh.png
Eh? I thought you don't know kung fu, how did you climb up that high tree?
FLCShqp.jpg

VgzUNto.jpg
So I was right after all!
LuXTjKz.jpg
What are you talking about?
VgzUNto.jpg
Nothing. Don't worry! Let me get you down from there.
LuXTjKz.jpg
Be careful. The snakes are still around!
7I9J3kJ.jpg

9yLYkIj.jpg


I think I underestimated this encounter a lot.
I mean they're just a pair of snakes, I wiped out a bandit stronghold, how hard can it be?

3DhFU6T.jpg


When the snakes land 2 different attacks that have poison debuff, you're pretty much screwed. With two snakes, the penalties are doubled.

QGOipLh.jpg


That's something to think about. It's funny, I never thought this is a 'close call' encounter until they start critting me at every turn.

i0QrqiJ.jpg

LuXTjKz.jpg
Ouch, my feet are numb after standing too long on the tree. AhhH!! *she falls into the river below*
qlBzUF2.jpg

NQ5yAAj.jpg

1DDo9mf.jpg
Aww, I sprained my ankle from the fall. Aiya, what an unlucky day!
TEuPMjh.png
Hey, get on my back. I'll carry you home.
1DDo9mf.jpg
It's all my fault... always landing seniors in trouble.
VgzUNto.jpg
Don't say that. We're all master's disciples. We help each other.

Don't you have that poison phoenix internal style? Can you switch those in battle?

Yeah, but I'd have to waste a turn switching internal style.
By the time i realized the poison impact was pretty severe, I was already halfway to butchering them.

131 - The Brothers try again and again
TxkH0nY.jpg

LuXTjKz.jpg
Eh...
g5sv2tu.jpg
Sister-in-training, it's not good to stay indoors for too long. The breeze is gentle and the sunshine is bright. It's the perfect weather for training and it'll help you maintain good health.
LuXTjKz.jpg
I understand.
XdBSfFv.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
Finally! Let's go!
6qZLYNv.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
Listen up! The horse stance is the basis of all martial arts technique. First, you do this!
iz6WXz2.jpg

DVyOdwt.png
Ha ha, it's really cute.
9xc3IOD.png
Such an adorable pairing!
Fs316Xy.jpg
...Hn! *snatches!*
X165660.jpg

LuXTjKz.jpg
Ah! Why did you take my rabbit?
Fs316Xy.jpg
Don't be distracted! Horse stance!
mCfOkt8.jpg
(Man, Jing Ji doesn't give a fuck.)
7j2XLG1.jpg

9xc3IOD.png
Yes, just like Sister-in-Training!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Hmph! *slashes*
LAEPepE.jpg

mCfOkt8.jpg
Uwah. Even the nearby flowers are slain.
OP0NcA5.png
I wonder if there will be any more distractions!
Zis29cv.png
Second brother, you're so mean!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Am I?
IYutbbG.jpg
Yeah! You're a bully! Ji is a bully! Bully Ji! Bully Ji!
Fs316Xy.jpg
You...
VgzUNto.jpg
Ahahahah-

POW!

mEWrcWX.png
Yeowch!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Why are you laughing?
g5sv2tu.jpg
Ji, calm down. Sister-in-training, the horse stance is very easy. Just like this. Try it.
IYutbbG.jpg
... Like this?
g5sv2tu.jpg
Yes, that's it!
Fs316Xy.jpg
OK. Stay in this position until the incense is burned down.

A short moment later...

LuXTjKz.jpg
Ah! My feet! They hurt!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Huh?! How can you even fall from doing the horse stance?
TEuPMjh.png
Are you alright, Sis?
LuXTjKz.jpg
It hurts so much~
g5sv2tu.jpg
Let me have a look. Oh dear, it's swollen.
Fs316Xy.jpg
Are you serious?! How could that even hurt you?
LuXTjKz.jpg
Seniors, it really hurts!
TEuPMjh.png
Is it really that serious?

I dunno, you're the one with 100 Medicine. C'mon!

g5sv2tu.jpg
I'll take her to the doctor. You two, carry on by yourselves.
TEuPMjh.png
Man, one problem after another!
MwNHc0z.jpg

g5sv2tu.jpg
Good morning, your timing is impeccable. Sister's injury has healed, and we are going to train. Come with us!
VgzUNto.jpg
OK! (Wow, First Brother's persuasion is actually working on her!)
TEuPMjh.png
Oh, where's Ji?
g5sv2tu.jpg
He went ahead to the training field. He said he wanted to make preparations.
TEuPMjh.png
Huh? Alright...

The three arrive at the training field where Ji is waiting.

TEuPMjh.png
Second brother, what's with the mats?
Fs316Xy.jpg
Humph! This is a protective measure! Now no matter how many times she falls, she won't get hurt easily!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Wang Rong! I guarantee you can practice martial arts safely today! I'll be watching you!
TEuPMjh.png
(Hm.. going this far. Will it make Rong train seriously now?)
g5sv2tu.jpg
Ji is really considerate. Come, let us begin!
LuXTjKz.jpg
Ah! The sun is coming out!
Fs316Xy.jpg
So what?
LuXTjKz.jpg
The sunlight is too bright! I might get tanned!
TEuPMjh.png
Uh..what's wrong with being tanned?

1CUD4ib.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
Hey! Whose side are you on?!
g5sv2tu.jpg
Sister, you can't avoid the sun while training martial arts. You should learn to get used to it. Do not worry, we'll be by your side to assist you.
LuXTjKz.jpg
Ah! I feel dizzy! It must be sunstroke, I need to rest in the shade!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Hmph! *grabs a bucket of water*

SPLASH!

yk8sDPI.jpg

q2oXBbH.png
Ji! How could you?!
1DDo9mf.jpg
You meanie! How dare you splash water on me?!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Don't you feel cooler already? Let's resume training!
9xc3IOD.png
Um... her clothes are.. becoming transparent.
q2oXBbH.png
Aiyah...
1DDo9mf.jpg
Ahhhhhhhhh!! Sexual harassment!

Brothers, we must help her!

Did you see it?
2JYyRC7.png
...yes...
g5sv2tu.jpg
What are you two talking about? Ji, you are too impetuous! Go and apologize to her at once!
mEWrcWX.png
Ah! That's right! We'll be in deep trouble if she tells on us to master!

POW ! POW ! POW !

Yuexuan! You are the eldest among the three! How could you let his happen! You make me lose face!
q2oXBbH.png
Master, I'm not a good role model. Punish me please!
Er9VEuw.jpg
Sigh! Forget it! I shouldn't have given you all this task from the start. It was my responsibility. You three may stop training Wang Rong from today.
q2oXBbH.png

(Man, being a teacher is quite difficult. Totally not what I had imagined.)
