They all want to change my future.

Chapter 18 The Gentleman's Sword

With a beautiful woman in his arms, warm and fragrant as jade, Li Zhi felt no emotion.

Even though it's such a close distance.

One can perceive the breathtaking curves and contours of Angelica dahurica.

You can smell the subtle fragrance on the other person.

But the red hair that was draped over her shoulders was still a little itchy.

So, Li Zhi raised his hand, patted her back, and said somewhat perfunctorily:

"Have you hugged me enough? Your hair is rubbing against me."

"No." Ji Baizhi adjusted her position.

"Why are you suddenly acting like a little girl?" Li Zhi said helplessly.

"Because I'm unhappy."

Ji Baizhi said sullenly that she had been outmatched, or rather, had lost another round, and felt a little wronged.

Besides, it was you, young master, who gave me permission to hug you.

As soon as she hugged him, Ji Baizhi regretted it. It was too indecent and shameless.

As she held him, Ji Baizhi felt a little comfortable, not because Li Zhi had any alluring fragrance.

On the contrary, it didn't have much of a smell and was very clean.

This cleanliness made her feel more relaxed; she hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.

Never mind, I'm not going to think about it anymore.

Ji Baizhi had no desire to be a phoenix reincarnation.

She still wanted to be that carefree little girl.

"Something's not right with you."

Although Li Zhi couldn't discern Ji Baizhi's thoughts, he could still feel the embrace tightening.

"Fine, if you want to hug me, then hug me a little longer."

Li Zhi tried to break free, but couldn't, so he gave up.

"Hmph, young master really doesn't know how to coax women," Ji Baizhi said in a muffled voice.

A teasing voice suddenly rang out behind the two of them.

"I'm wondering if I came at the wrong time again, and accidentally interrupted your good time?"

The person who came was naturally Lin Yueyin, and Li Zhi could see the sarcastic look in her eyes.

Ji Baizhi, who had her back to her, could naturally recognize whose voice it was, but she didn't let go; instead, she hugged it tighter.

He looked as if he was afraid Li Zhi would be taken away, and issued a warning.

"Since you already knew, why did you still come out?"

"I'm here to fulfill my promise." Lin Yueyin strode forward and looked at Li Zhi: "I'll teach you swordsmanship."

"Isn't it tomorrow night?" Li Zhi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Your time is limited, so learn as much as you can. Why are you putting it off until tomorrow?"

Dressed in all black, Lin Yueyin stared directly at Li Zhi with her crimson eyes, like a stern teacher.

This disrupted the solemn atmosphere, but Li Zhi didn't notice anything amiss. Ji Baizhi, in his arms, was finding it hard to bear.

When it comes to serious matters, she can still control her temper.

Ji Baizhi released Li Zhi, helped him straighten his slightly wrinkled clothes, and said softly, "Young Master, you should practice diligently."

After doing all this, Ji Baizhi quickly left the main hall and headed towards her own courtyard.

"Looks like she still has some shame." Lin Yueyin commented calmly, watching the direction Ji Baizhi had left.

"Your timing is really perfect," Li Zhi commented. "Was that Heavenly Sect Saintess's prediction really that accurate?"

Lin Yueyin didn't answer the question, but turned to Ji Baizhi and said, "Why are you saying so much? Do you still want to learn swordsmanship?"

"I do want to, but are you going to chase after them and wipe them out completely?"

Li Zhi followed behind and asked, genuinely curious about what arrangements the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect had made.

"You're overthinking it." Lin Yueyin tossed her ponytail. "In the entire Zhaoyang Prefecture, apart from that Phoenix's courtyard, there aren't many good places suitable for cultivation."

We arrived in the courtyard.

The two stood still, and Lin Yueyin seemed to enter teaching mode, her whole demeanor becoming serious and earnest.

"Do you know what a sword is?"

"I don't know." Li Zhi answered frankly, so frankly that it seemed somewhat lazy: "I've never held a real sword before."

"Judging from this, your foundation is ridiculously weak." Lin Yueyin shook her head. "From this perspective, the Sword Sect's regular teaching methods are not suitable for you."

"Oh?" Li Zhi became interested. "So, there's a shortcut?"

"That's right." Lin Yueyin nodded: "The Dragon Gate Trial is a ring competition, and there is a sword technique that is very suitable for it."

"What sword technique?"

"The name of this sword technique is outrageous," Lin Yueyin's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile, "It's frighteningly large."

"How big is it? It can't be called the Invincible Sword, can it?"

"Not at all. It's called the Gentleman's Sword Technique, and the sword that comes with it is quite interesting."

As she spoke, Lin Yueyin took out a sword from somewhere and handed it over.

It looks like an ordinary sword, but it's a bit too long.

"This is the Gentleman's Sword?" Li Zhi took it, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be quite heavy.

"Yes." Lin Yueyin nodded: "The Gentleman's Sword is very long and heavy, and it doesn't look like it's meant for use against enemies. However, the Holy Maiden chose it for you, and after thinking about it, I think it's indeed very suitable for your situation."

"Now that you mention it, I'm becoming more and more curious about that saintess."

Li Zhi tried to draw the sword, stretching his arm to its limit, but found it difficult; the sword was simply too long.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Yueyin: "Are you sure this sword technique is really suitable for me?"

Lin Yueyin met his gaze without flinching: "Of course, the Gentleman's Sword Technique is not purely a killing art; it is a method of self-cultivation, a method of training, and can even be considered half a method of body tempering."

She paused briefly, organizing her thoughts: "This is perfect for your situation. Besides, in a ring duel, all you have to do is knock your opponent down. The Gentleman's Sword Technique is expansive and powerful, using force to overwhelm the opponent. It can be said to be the most honorable sword technique."

Li Zhi pressed the end of the scabbard against the bluestone ground, using the leverage to finally pull the sword out of its sheath, gazing at the cold blade.

"You have a point, but do I really need to do this every time I draw my sword?"

"Once you finish your body training, your body should continue to develop," Lin Yueyin replied matter-of-factly. "Then it should be easy to pull it out."

This explanation left Li Zhi speechless: "Just how high-ranking was this person who invented the Gentleman's Sword?"

Li Zhi wasn't short, but even with his long arms, he still had difficulty drawing the sword, which gives you an idea of ​​how long the sword was.

However, Lin Yueyin is right. A sword that long would indeed be very intimidating in a duel.

One inch long, one inch strong.

"Here, this is the sword manual." Lin Yueyin handed a book to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took it and flipped through a couple of pages. Inside were some simple human figure diagrams and annotations, some of which he didn't understand.

"Aren't you going to teach me step by step?"

"I've never learned the Gentleman's Sword."

Lin Yueyin shrugged, somewhat self-righteously: "How did I teach you?"

Looking at Lin Yueyin, who was a head shorter than him, and then thinking about that ridiculously long gentleman's sword.

Li Zhi thought that made perfect sense; the other person really didn't need to learn this sword technique, and it wasn't suitable for her style.

"So every night you just watch me learn?"

"Of course not." Lin Yueyin revealed a mischievous smile: "I'm your sparring partner. Of course, learning swordsmanship requires sparring."

This is clearly an attempt to bully noobs.
