”Sheʼs despicable enough to take advantage of an imperial examination candidate! And shameless enough to scheme against the benefactor who saved her life! She’s an unscrupulous and poisonous woman!”

The Emperor could bear other things, but not this!

The Emperorʼs eyes were like torches as he said, ”Why... Why do people around me... betray me one by one?! The little miracle physician did, so did Ningʼan in those days! Just what is wrong with me? Where do I lose to her?!”

Eunuch Wei and Eunuch He didnʼt say anything.

The two of them understood that the Emperor was once again reminded of Princess Ning’an.

Princess Ningʼan was the daughter of Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, and the Emperor, having been raised by Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing since childhood, had a deep affection for Princess Ningʼan as a sibling.

The two of them grew up together. The Empress Dowager had a good relationship with Imperial Concubine Dowager Jingʼs children in her early years, otherwise she would not help Imperial Concubine Dowager Jingʼs adopted son to sit on the throne.

However, after the Emperor ascended the throne, he was dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Zhuangʼs regency, and became more and more distant with Empress Dowager Zhuang until their relationship finally ruptured completely.

Between the Emperor and Empress Dowager Zhuang, Princess Ningʼan chose Empress Dowager Zhuang. Not that she had ever harmed the Emperor for Empress Dowager Zhuang, but that her always going into Empress Dowager Zhuang’s defense made the Emperor feel bitterly disappointed.

In the end, Princess Ningʼan married far to the northern border for her lover, which caused Empress Dowager Zhuang to almost die of a serious illness. At that time, a faint trace of twisted pleasure rose from the bottom of the Emperorʼs heart.

You took Ningʼan away from me in those days, now it was your turn to have her taken away from you.

Did you also taste the pain I suffered in those days?

The Emperor felt depressed, and staying in the palace made his chest feel very stuffy.

He decided to take a walk outside the palace.

He changed his clothes and took Eunuch Wei to Marquis Xuanping Estate. He wanted to have a drink with Marquis Xuanping, but Marquis Xuanping went to Soft Jade Pavilion.

The Emperor secretly went to find Old Marquis next, but Old Marquis wasn’t at home either!

The Emperor was bewildered. Did these two conspire to anger him today?

The Emperor misunderstood Old Marquis. Old Marquis didn’t know that the Emperor had left the palace today, so he went to the martial arts school.

Gu Jiao also went to the martial arts school.

A while ago, Gu Jiao lost a fight with someone, and after hearing the news, Old Marquis came to watch Gu Jiaoʼs fight.

Gu Jiao was still facing the young swordsman from last time. The other party was about twenty-seven years old and was at the peak of his physical strength, on the contrary, Gu Jiao hadn’t grown up yet, so her strength was inferior to her opponent.

Of course, the most important thing was the moves.

What Gu Jiao learned in the organization were skills to kill people, but the martial arts school didn’t allow killing.

Old Marquis saw the problem after watching half of the match.

Gu Jiao won two out of three matches. She lost in the first match.

Old Marquis called Gu Jiao to the backyard, ”Brother Gu, try attacking me with the way you attacked him earlier.”

After that, Old Marquis unexpectedly imitated the swordsmanʼs moves on the spot, and it was exactly the same moves.

Gu Jiao wowed in his mind.

This old man was that amazing? He could actually learn it at a glance?

Gu Jiao went to attack Old Marquis and lost worse than she did in the ring.

Old Marquis said, ”Your moves are very messy. Itʼs all improvisation. One moment you’re using your fists, then the next moment you’re using your palm. Where did you learn this from?”

Gu Jiao took out a small notebook and scribbled on it: Without a master to teach me, I can only fight blindly.

The corner of Old Marquisʼs mouth twitched.

You could also call this fighting blindly...

After thinking for a moment, Old Marquis demonstrated and said, ”If you want to use your fists, you can use these tricks. If you want to use your palm...”

Gu Jiao received his guidance and went up the ring again, winning two matches in a row and clinching victory in this competition.

Old Marquis was very satisfied.

This childʼs talent was really too high, not at all inferior to Gu Changqing.

Gu Jiao won the competition. Feeling her mask, she looked up at Old Marquis.

Old Marquis went downstairs, called her to the armory of the martial arts school, and said to her, ”You never use weapons, so youʼre actually at a disadvantage. At first, I thought you don’t like to use weapons.”

Now he knew that she just didn’t know how to use weapons.

Gu Jiao inwardly commented: Iʼm quite good at shooting, a shot in the head kind!

Old Marquis looked at a room full of weapons and told her, ”Go and pick one.”

Gu Jiao had little interest in these cold weapons.

Old Marquis saw that she didn’t intend to pick one. After looking around carefully, he took a red tasseled spear and said to her, ”Use this.”

Gu Jiao nodded. Sure.

Old Marquis showed her a set of spear techniques.

Despite Old Marquis restraining his aura, Gu Jiao still felt the overwhelming force.

This was a master, a real master!

”Your turn. Try it.” As soon as Old Marquis finished the demonstration, he threw the red tasseled spear to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao caught it smoothly.

In her previous life, she had little contact with cold weapons. Other than daggers, she had only touched a scalpel. Now, holding this red tasseled spear so suddenly, she was a little at a loss.

She made a mistake on the first move.

If it were Gu Changqing or any of the soldiers under Old Marquis, Old Marquis would have thrown a lash at them.

But for Brother Gu, Old Marquis seemed to be particularly patient. Even he didn’t know what was up with him.

It wasn’t until Gu Jiao made a mistake for the seventh time that Old Marquis lost control of his temper.

Gu Jiao’s innocent eyes looked at him adorably.

Old Marquis: ”...”

Forget it, forget it. She was still young, he should teach her slowly.

”Iʼll show you one last time. Watch carefully. If you make another mistake, I wonʼt teach you anymore.”

During the eighteenth demonstration——

”This is really, really the last time!”

Old Marquis was about to collapse!

This kid was here to torture him!

How come she learned so fast barehanded, but the moment she held the red tasseled spear, she couldn’t get the techniques at once?!

When old Marquis almost coughed up blood, Gu Jiao finally managed to perform a complete set of spear techniques, albeit poorly.

Old Marquis collapsed on the ground, only feeling that he was going to die soon!

Who on earth was training who again?

Why did he even go out of his way to teach this boy?

He almost lost his life training him!

”Letʼs call it a day!”

His arms and legs felt like breaking apart, and his old waist was also aching.

But Gu Jiao hadnʼt had enough yet.

She had tasted the sweetness.
