Ji Boying Urges Them to Study

"This, this is truly a cruel twist of fate..."

The sentimental young girls were deeply moved by the unexpected twists and turns of life.

"It's truly a blessing from heaven that my sister A'Zhu's brother was brought to my side, and that Young Master Ji, who knows the truth, has enlightened me. Heaven, oh heaven, you don't even know how to treat me..."

Wang Yuyan didn't finish her sentence.

I wonder what arrangements will be made for me and my cousin...

"Young Master Ji, I am extremely grateful for your revelation of my background. But since you are so knowledgeable about the affairs of the martial world, do you know about the background of my sister A'Bi?"

When A'Zhu asked this, Ji Boying could only shake his head.

"Although I claim to know everything about the martial arts world, I am not knowledgeable about everything. I only know some key matters. Besides, Miss A'Bi's background has nothing to do with the martial arts world, so naturally I don't know anything about it."

A'Zhu was somewhat disappointed, but A'Bi took the initiative to pat A'Zhu's hand.

She comforted her sister, A'Zhu.

A'Bi knew that A'Zhu was feeling sorry for her.

"So many years have passed, what does it matter whether you know or not? I am different from you. You still have childhood memories, so it's inevitable that you have something to worry about. In this Murong Family, although I am just a maid, the master and young master treat me very well. I have our own home."

A'Bi's words were quite magnanimous.

A'Zhu naturally knew A'Bi's thoughts and held some expectations, hoping that A'Bi could have a similar background as herself.

Ji Boying understood what A'Zhu meant.

He then smiled and gave pointers.

"We know about Miss A'Zhu's background because Duan Zhengchun, the Prince of Zhennan of Dali, is a real playboy who has a lot of affairs."

"Oh dear, Miss A'Zhu, please don't take offense. It was indeed a little offensive to talk about your father's character."

A'Zhu, Wang Yuyan, and the others could all see that Ji Boying's words were polite and reasonable.

But deep down, he harbors a sense of pride.

Even if they did try to blame him, they would probably only earn Ji Boying's disdain.

But why would A'Zhu blame them? To be honest, there wasn't much affection between them, and besides, Ji Boying said was all true.

Duan Zhengchun's name was known to everyone in the martial arts world, both in the north and south.

"A man who has nothing to hide is an upright and honest man. Why would he be afraid of what others say if he has done something? Young Master Ji, please speak freely."

A'Zhu, however, had a strong will and was somewhat dissatisfied with Duan Zhengchun.

Does he also harbor some resentment towards his mother?

"Good, good. The first wife of Prince of Zhennan Duan Zhengchun, was Dao Baifeng of the Baiyi Tribe. It is because in Dali, where all ethnic groups are mixed, it is not so easy for the Han people to hold onto the throne."

"Dao Baifeng is no ordinary person, and she has her own temperament. She doesn't allow Duan Zhengchun to have affairs. But Duan Zhengchun is incorrigible, and the two are now separated."

"That is why Duan Zhengchun met many women outside, but he dared not bring them home."

"What a fierce woman! She can keep the Prince of Zhennan in check!"

Bao Butong gave a thumbs up.

A'Zhu also said, "Good job. It's not Dao Baifeng's in the wrong."

A'Zhu had already guessed that her mother was Duan Zhengchun's mistress.

However, she still cannot say that Dao Baifeng was wrong; the fault lies more with Duan Zhengchun.

Ji Boying gave a thumbs-up.

A'Zhu's personality is really endearing.

"Duan Zhengchun had many female confidantes outside, each with a different personality. Some were fierce and only wanted to kill everyone else and possess Duan Zhengchun alone, while others were gentle. But no matter what, they almost lost their minds when they saw Duan Zhengchun. I hope they were deceived by him countless times."

Hearing these words, the group of people secretly thought that although Duan Zhengchun was outrageous, he actually had some skills.

"Your mother's name is Ruan Xingzhu. She lived in Little Mirror Lake. She gave birth to you and your sister. Duan Zhengchun had to rush back to Dali. Your mother didn't dare to take you back to see your maternal grandfather, so she tattooed your names on her forehead and left you with gold locks so that you could recognize each other in the future."

Ji Boying then recounted the whole story.

He turned his head and glanced at A'Bi again.

He laughed and said, "Because of this relationship, A'Zhu and A'Bi can really become sisters. If they meet Duan Yu in the future, they can recognize him as their sworn brother. Your brother is just like his father, and he cherishes women the most. If you recognize him as your sworn brother, he will naturally be happy and there is no reason for him not to agree."

This statement came out of nowhere and seemed abrupt.

But each of them had their own thoughts.

Everyone wanted to make this happen.

Bao Butong naturally wanted to get involved with the Dali Kingdom.

With A'Zhu as the Prince of Prince of Zhennan's biological daughter, and A'Bi as his Prince of Zhennan, the Murong Family naturally had more leverage.

Everyone knew what A'Bi was thinking, but A'Bi was, after all, a maid, and could be easily dealt with in the future. At worst, she could become Murong Fu's concubine.

If she could now establish a connection with the Prince of Zhennan, becoming Murong Fu's principal wife would be even more suitable.

A'Bi lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

She knew why this topic had been brought up suddenly.

Naturally, everyone could see that she was infatuated with Murong Fu.

Wang Yuyan, however, became conflicted.

Two slender fingers tugged at her sleeves and twisted them back and forth on her legs.

If we could do something like that, so that A'Bi wouldn't have to be a maid, that would be wonderful.

Normally, she would want to become her cousin's legal wife, A'Bi wouldn't be her rival, so she could tolerate A'Bi.

But what will happen to me if A'Bi becomes the goddaughter of the Prince of Zhennan?

It's a complete mess, impossible to untangle.

Nowadays, Bao Butong and his group naturally support A'Bi.

"Alright, alright, it's too early to talk about this now. We don't even know if they'll acknowledge me or not."

A'Zhu interrupted the topic, deliberately saying that she might not acknowledge her, so that everyone would not get caught up in the confusion.

Ji Boying looked at the three women and smiled slightly again.

His lips were still moving, but no sound seemed to be coming out.

Only Wang Yuyan, who had been looking down with a conflicted expression, suddenly froze.

If no one had mentioned Wang Yuyan, she would never have thought of this. Why did this Young Master Ji suddenly say that he also had a problem with his background?

Ji Boying transmitted his voice secretly.

A'Zhu and A'Bi were lost in their own emotions and did not react to the sudden silence.

Bao Butong and the others were rowing at the bow of the boat, Ji Boying had his back to them, so they naturally couldn't see him.

Wang Yuyan raised her pretty face, her dark, bright eyes looking at Ji Boying in disbelief.

Her pearly teeth gently bit her red lips, leaving an indescribable mark.

Finally, under Ji Boying's questioning gaze, he nodded with much hesitation and agreed to the deal.

It was precisely because Ji Boying mentioned this that Wang Yuyan became suspicious.

If it weren't for the incident involving A'Zhu and Duan Yu, Wang Yuyan wouldn't have been so easily convinced.

But now I'm really starting to panic.

Ji Boying's lips moved.

Only Wang Yuyan could hear the voice.

A series of coincidences came together, forcing the intelligent Wang Yuyan to admit that there might really be something wrong with her background.

Perhaps I don't actually have the surname Wang.

As Ji Boying said, what time did his mother and father get married?

What is the date and time of my birth?

There does seem to be some doubt here.

Why have my mother and aunt's family always been at odds for so many years since my father died?

My mother always hated the Murong Family.

Why is the Manduo Manor on Taihu Lake filled with camellias from Dali?

If she had previously thought it was just because her mother liked him, now that she thought of the womanizing Duan Zhengchun, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but worry.

And why does her own mother always lead her men out to capture those philandering men and force them to kill their wives and marry the women they keep outside?

My mother was my father's first wife. How could she possibly want my father to kill her and marry another woman?

The more Wang Yuyan thought about it, the more her head ached. She broke out in a light sweat, and her slender figure swayed unsteadily.

Fortunately, he was leaning on A'Zhu, and since they were sitting on a small boat, he didn't give himself away.

But considering all this, Wang Yuyan was already 80% convinced by Ji Boying's words.

I'm afraid I really shouldn't have the surname Wang, I should... I should have the surname...

That dull-witted young master Duan is... is...

Wang Yuyan also fell silent.

Ji Boying sat on the small boat, sprawled out on the side of the boat in a carefree manner, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake to his heart's content.

He wasn't in a hurry to force Wang Yuyan to pay the reward.

Ji Boying was not particularly eager for the martial arts skills that Wang Yuyan possessed.

Perhaps Wang Yuyan did indeed master many exquisite martial arts techniques, but those techniques could now be considered rudimentary to Ji Boying.

However, even these rudimentary martial arts techniques have their significance.

Wang Yuyan is practically a living encyclopedia of martial arts secrets. If one could listen to her lectures on martial arts every day, it would broaden Ji Boying 'Ji Boying horizons and enhance his knowledge.

It also has some effect of drawing inferences from one instance to another.

Just like Wang Yuyan herself doesn't practice martial arts, but because she has read many martial arts manuals, she not only knows how to practice various martial arts, but also how to use them.

She could explain in detail the relationships and counters between different martial arts techniques.

That's really impressive.

Even for some profound martial arts techniques that were not fully covered by the manuals, such as the Beggar Gang's Sect's Dog Beating Staff Technique, Wang Yuyan could still guess that Murong Fu was practicing it incorrectly based on her own insights.

Knowing when to move quickly and when to move slowly.

Therefore, her martial arts knowledge was still somewhat useful to Ji Boying.

Trading information about her background for these things is a completely risk-free deal.

We were on the boat all day, and didn't get ashore until dark.

The group then lit a campfire on the shore to rest.

Ji Boying left for more than an hour.

This hour or Bao Butong restless and felt like an eternity.

He was truly afraid that Ji Boying might turn around and leave, abandoning them and plunging back into Taihu Lake, intending to take Returning Waterside Pavilion.

It wasn't until more than an hour later, when Ji Boying reappeared before him, that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master Ji, where have you been? We thought you had left."

A'Zhu took the initiative to ask.

Ji Boying casually sat down to the side.

He listlessly poked at the campfire with a small stick.

"Don't even mention it, it was a wasted trip, I still don't know where that Jiumozhi went."

Based on Ji Boying's Lightness Skill and speed, the range he could explore in just over an hour was beyond what they could imagine, but A'Zhu Bao Butong.

Even so, they still gained nothing.

I'm really unlucky.

"Why are you looking for that wicked monk? He's no good person."

A'Zhu was already dissatisfied with Jiumozhi's disturbance on Taihu Lake, and now she knows that Duan Yu is her brother.

After causing a Jiumozhi in Dali and making things difficult for his father and brother, they naturally disliked Jiumozhi even more.

"That monk may not be a good monk, but he is indeed quite talented. I'd really like to see how he practices his Flame Blade."

"That's someone else's specialty. Even if you find him, he might not teach you."

Wang Yuyan asked in confusion.

"Hey, is it up to him whether he's taught or not?"

This statement sounds domineering, yet it also sounds like he's deliberately acting evil.

The three women were kind-hearted and thought Ji Boying was a good person; they just found what he said amusing.

Bao Butong, however, was filled with unease and anxiety.

"I don't know why you all like practicing martial arts so much."

Wang Yuyan pouted slightly, hugged her knees, rested her chin on her knees, and idly fiddled with the flames.

"Miss Wang, you know so many secret techniques, why don't you practice them yourself?"

Wang Yuyan shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Ji Boying knew that she was looking at the secret manual for Murong Fu's sake.

"I don't think you, Miss Wang, necessarily hate martial arts that much."

Wang Yuyan then turned her head away.

"You're only taking your anger out on martial arts because your cousin neglects you because he loves practicing them so much. I heard from A'Bi that you were quite impressive when you were instructing the Qin Family Stockade of the Qingcheng Sect on their martial arts in the waterside pavilion, weren't you? Don't you really like it?"

Wang Yuyan's face was slightly red from being roasted by the flames.

She didn't say anything, but for a little girl who loves new experiences, she actually did like it.

"Your cousin isn't stupid, why does he insist on practicing martial arts?"

Ji Boying looked at the three girls.

"I see that you all have good talent, and with Miss Wang as your good teacher, why don't you all practice martial arts together?"

"Firstly, it can improve physical health. Secondly, it can help you take control of your own destiny."

Even if you don't want to use your martial arts skills to bully others, you should still be wary of others bullying you.

"You've witnessed many of the evil deeds of people in the martial world. Not everyone in this world is reasonable. Do you think your Young Master Murong and his four henchmen are there to protect you every day?"

"What will you do if he doesn't protect you and you encounter danger?"

"If you encountered someone like Madam Wang who cut off your hands and feet to use as fertilizer, how could you resist without martial arts skills? There's a villain in this world Ye Ernian snatches a child every day, plays with them until she's done, and then kills them. Didn't you want to stop her when you saw that?"

"You're all so good-looking, there will always be people who are jealous of your faces. If they want to scratch your faces, what can you do about it?"

"And that lecherous Yun Zhonghe, if he sees you, you'll just have to obediently let him ruin your reputation?"

These few words sent chills down the spines of the three girls, who, despite the warmth of the campfire, felt no comfort whatsoever.

The three of them couldn't help but huddle together tightly, as if they could barely feel a sense of security.
