#721 - You have scars on your legs

Almost two quarters of an hour later, Yang Liushi returned.

Judging from her expression, Wang Nianchu shouldn't have anything too important going on.

At most, it's just a bit "baffling".

"Young Master, Miss Wang said she wants to go out and see the world."

Yang Liushi said with a smile, "So she came to ask if this servant could stay and be a personal guard for Young Master."

"See the world? Be my guard??"

Wei Changtian, who was looking at the new fief map, was dumbfounded, raised his head and asked, "What is she up to now?"

"Well... this servant thinks Miss Wang is probably worried about the Longquan Sword."

Yang Liushi replied with a smile, "It may also be due to the Wang family."

"..."

Frowning, Wei Changtian roughly understood the reason after this reminder.

From Wang Nianchu's point of view, she must still be thinking about the Longquan Sword. Although she doesn't dare to ask for it back, she wants to "supervise" herself to fulfill the promise of "returning the sword" through this method.

From the Wang family's point of view, although the process of borrowing the sword was "slightly" unpleasant, the result was good. Therefore, they are likely to take the opportunity to get in touch with themselves.

Looking at the entire Wang family, besides the Longquan Sword, the only thing they can offer is the "Winter Snow on a Peaceful Lake" swordsmanship, and their precious daughter Wang Nianchu.

So as long as Wang Nianchu can be sent to his side, whether as a guard or a maid, it will be a great thing for the Wang family in the future.

Even if Wang Nianchu could "go a step further" in the future and be accepted as a concubine, the Wang family would really soar to the sky...

Good heavens, another one sending their daughter.

Hmm? Why say "another"?

Who else has sent one before?

Oh, I remember.

It was Ning Qingyu who insisted on stuffing Ning Yuke to himself, trying to get himself to rebel with him.

As a result, the whole family was exterminated by Ning Yongnian in less than two days, and only Ning Yuke survived...

By the way, there hasn't been any news about Ning Yuke and Da Shu for a long time.

And Xu Qingwan, I don't know what she's doing all day now.

Probably busy supervising Wei Qiaoling's cultivation.

Tsk tsk tsk, that must be tiring enough...

Wei Changtian's thoughts jumped, and he inexplicably associated them with Ning Yuke, Xu Qingwan, and even Wei Qiaoling.

Yang Liushi, who was beside him, waited for a while, and seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, she whispered a reminder:

"Young Master? What do you think?"

"Me?"

Wei Changtian came back to his senses and waved his hand dismissively.

"Forget it."

"That Wang Nianchu's realm isn't high, it's useless if something really happens."

"Hmm..."

Yang Liushi tilted her head: "Young Master, you don't want to use her?"

"I don't want to," Wei Changtian said without hesitation.

"Then can this servant keep her by my side?"

Yang Liushi said with a smile, "This servant thinks Miss Wang still has many merits."

"You want to keep her?"

Wei Changtian looked a little surprised: "Why?"

"For no reason."

Yang Liushi娇嗔 said: "Young Master, just say yes or no."

"..."

Looking at Yang Liushi's smiling face, Wei Changtian paused for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

"Are you afraid you've already agreed to her?"

"Yes, I have."

Yang Liushi smiled and said, "You can't hide it from Young Master."

"Since you've already agreed, then what are you asking me for?"

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes: "Keep her if you want."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Yang Liushi stood up happily: "Then shall I call her in?"

"Hmm."

"..."

Soon, Yang Liushi called Wang Nianchu, who had been waiting outside the door, into the room.

Although the latter initially wanted to be Wei Changtian's guard or maid, following Yang Liushi was not much different.

Anyway, with Wei Changtian and the Wei family's current status, it wouldn't be a grievance for a young lady from an ordinary wealthy family to be a guard for the Wei family's daughter-in-law.

"Miss Wang."

Raising his eyes to look at Wang Nianchu, who was obviously a little nervous, Wei Changtian didn't waste any words and directly said bluntly:

"I know what your Wang family sent you here for."

"Although I don't know what Liushi saw in you, since she's happy, then let's leave it at that."

"I don't have any requirements for you, just remember the word loyalty at all times."

"As long as you can do this, if your Wang family has any difficulties in the future, I will naturally not sit idly by."

"But if you can't do it... then you better not let me find out."

"Otherwise, not only you, but everyone in your Wang family will die miserably!"

His gaze gradually turned cold, Wei Changtian got up and walked in front of Wang Nianchu, staring into her eyes and said word by word:

"It couldn't be easier for me to investigate something, so don't have any self-righteous little thoughts."

"Remember that?"

"..."

"Young... Young Master, this servant remembers..."

Where had Wang Nianchu ever felt such a suffocating sense of oppression before? She didn't dare to look Wei Changtian in the eye, and just clutched her clothes corner and replied aggrievedly.

Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged, he coldly glanced at her again, and then suddenly said in a very casual tone:

"Oh, right."

"Winter Snow on a Peaceful Lake is different from ordinary swordsmanship. After practicing to Lesser Perfection, it is impossible to improve through hard training. You need to use your sword to cover the snow during heavy snow."

"When you can cover the snowflakes within a ten-zhang radius without letting them fall to the ground, you can reach Greater Perfection."

"If there is no snow, you can use cotton wool instead."

"It's useless to practice blindly like you are now."

"..."

The warm sunlight fell on the ground through the window, the streets outside were bustling with people, but the room instantly became silent.

Yang Liushi's expression was a little dazed, not knowing what Wei Changtian was talking about.

Wang Nianchu suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with shock and fear.

"You... how did you know..."

"How did I know that you were stuck at Lesser Perfection? And how did I know the method of breaking through Winter Snow on a Peaceful Lake?"

Wei Changtian smiled, asked the doubts in Wang Nianchu's heart for her, but had no intention of answering.

He just leaned closer to the latter's ear and whispered:

"Miss Wang, I don't just know these things."

"I also know that you have a shallow scar on the root of your thigh, which was left when you were practicing swordsmanship as a child."

"..."

"Stomp, stomp, stomp..." Retracting several steps, Wang Nianchu's eyes widened, and the horror in her eyes had reached an unprecedented level.

If Wei Changtian could still find out about the Winter Snow on a Peaceful Lake sword technique, then the fact that she had a small shallow scar on the root of her thigh was only known to herself!

Even the maid who served her didn't know, so why could Wei Changtian...

"You... you..."

Countless terrible guesses flooded into her mind, and Wang Nianchu now even had the idea of turning around and running away.

She looked at Wei Changtian with trembling all over, stuttering and unable to say a word.

Wei Changtian felt that the effect was almost there, so he didn't continue to expose more "big news", but looked back at Yang Liushi, who looked puzzled.

"Alright, pack up."

"We should go."
