Chapter 714

March 7th: "I just feel that the me from now on might end up living a pretty fulfilling life."

March 7th: "Sigh, if only the me in the video could learn it and then the real me could learn it right along — wouldn't that be wonderful!"

Stelle: "Tsk tsk tsk, better not count your chickens."

The video continues.

After a while, March 7th said goodbye to Stelle and Brother Dan Heng,

and followed Hearing Yanqing to the small garden where the lesson was to be held.

【First day of class and already arriving late with your disciple in tow — just how lax are the rules on Luo Fu Xianzhou?】

【Sigh... truly breaks this Master's heart.】

Miss Yunli had long been waiting in the garden; upon seeing Hearing Yanqing arrive with March 7th,

she deliberately put on a Master's manner and revealed a look of disappointment.

【Ah, Master Yunli is already here.】

【Sorry to keep you waiting!】

March 7th saw that Miss Yunli seemed to have been waiting here for quite a long time, and felt a little embarrassed.

【You wouldn't be thinking of secretly teaching her all by yourself, would you?】

【How underhanded!】

Miss Yunli gave March 7th a nod, then turned to Hearing Yanqing with a look of indignation.

【Let me show you — this is the thorough courtesy with which the people of Luo Fu pass on their teachings!】

【Even if she's a disciple, I will personally come to fetch her.】

【As the host, I shall impart to Young Lady March the essence of Luo Fu swordsmanship, and then let her claim total victory in the arena.】

【When the time comes, you won't be able to keep passing judgment on the merits and flaws of Luo Fu's sword arts, will you!】

Hu Tao: "Haha, have the two little Masters already started competing with each other?"

Hu Tao: "I have a feeling that Young Lady March 7th, from here on out, won't just have to be a disciple — she'll even have to play mediator!"

Paimon: "The Master personally going to fetch the disciple?"

Paimon: "Aren't the courtesies of Luo Fu Xianzhou a bit too thorough?"

Hearing Yanqing: "Naturally — my Luo Fu has always been a land of propriety!"

Hearing Yanqing: "Haha, Yunli, on this point I've already beaten you, the one standing in the garden putting on a Master's airs while waiting for your disciple, by far too much!"

Hearing Yanqing: "What have you got to compete with me?"

Miss Yunli: "Don't get cocky!"

Miss Yunli: "You think I'd come unprepared?"

Miss Yunli: "Just you wait and see!"

Miss Yunli: "I definitely understand better than you how to teach a disciple!!"

March 7th: "Uh... you two Masters, harmony brings prosperity!"

Stelle: "Dying of laughter — I already want to see March stuck in the middle, torn both ways."

The video continues.

【Go stand off to the side.】

【Let me show you how the swordsmen of Zhuming Xianzhou dote on their disciples.】

【March 7th, come quick — this is a reverse-master-ceremony gift your Master has prepared for you; I hope you'll make good use of it.】

Miss Yunli smiled dismissively, then took out a set of gorgeous clothing and placed it in March 7th's arms.

【This is... Xianzhou attire?】

【So pretty!】

The garments Miss Yunli gifted had an air of classical elegance,

and the fabric and craftsmanship were clearly worth a fortune at a glance,

winning March 7th's heart at first sight!

【Sword practice requires footwork and body movement working in concert; this outfit is tailored close to the body for ease of movement.】

【I also specially prepared some little accessories — it cost me quite a bit of thought, I tell you.】

As she spoke, Miss Yunli took out some exquisite ornaments as well,

and placed them all into March 7th's hands.

At the sight of this, March 7th was grinning so hard her mouth could barely close!

【Master Yunli is so good to me!】

Stelle: "Holy crap~"

Stelle: "What the heck — a sugar-coated bullet!"

Stelle: "Miss Yunli's playing this hand like a pro!"

Stelle: "A reverse-master-ceremony gift... it just goes straight for March's heart!"

Stelle: "These days, being a disciple comes with this good of a treatment?"

March 7th: "Eh??"

March 7th: "Being a disciple actually comes with such pretty new clothes to wear?!"

March 7th: "Wow, thank you so much, Master Yunli!"

March 7th: "I really, really, really love this outfit!"

Miss Yunli: "Mm... worthy of my taste!"

Miss Yunli: "This outfit will definitely look perfect on you!"

Stelle: "I've only ever heard that disciples should show filial respect to their Master — I never expected that with Miss March 7th here, it'd be completely reversed..."

Stelle: "I gotta say, I'm really jealous!!"

Hearing Yanqing: "Despicable, Yunli, you actually used underhanded means to get closer to Miss March!"

Hearing Yanqing: "You're too shameless!!"

Miss Yunli: "Ha, me, shameless?"

Miss Yunli: "This is just a little benefit a Master gives to a disciple, that's all!"

Miss Yunli: "But you — you didn't prepare anything for your disciple, and you still dare say you cherish your disciple?"

Hearing Yanqing: "Hmph, if you can think of it, then I can think of it even more!"

Hearing Yanqing: "Don't get cocky — I'll definitely do it better than you, and make Miss March like me more as her Master!"

Miss Qingque: "Hehehe, the way you two teach your disciples is really quite something."

Miss Qingque: "I've seen disciples vying for favor with each other, but Masters vying for their disciple's favor — now that really is a first."

Stelle: "In the end, it's all just a bargain for March."

Stelle: "If I'd known that apprenticing in swordsmanship came with gifts and new clothes to wear, I wouldn't be against it either!"

Silver Wolf: "Is that even sword practice? That's clearly you being a money-grubber!"

Stelle: "Is there a difference?"

Stelle: "As long as I get something out of it, that's fine!"

The video continues.

【See that? What have you got to compete with me?】

【I'll let March 7th learn the essence of the Zhu Ming Sword Art, and have her win the platform with my sword — heh heh.】

After giving the things to March 7th, Miss Yunli looked at Hearing Yanqing with a smug face.

【It's not like I didn't prepare anything.】

Hearing Yanqing, seeing this, wasn't flustered in the slightest.

Because he had prepared long ago too!

【Huh? Master Yanqing also has a gift to give me?】

March 7th, hearing that there seemed to be more gifts to be had,

immediately looked at Hearing Yanqing with a face full of expectation.

【Since Miss March has come to learn swordsmanship, she ought to have a weapon that suits her hand — so I stayed up all night putting together a matched pair of swords.】

【Unfortunately, time was too short to commission a craftsman for a custom set.】

【I could only do my best to pick weapons that looked good and had a balance suitable for a beginner.】

【If Miss March doesn't mind, then that would be wonderful.】
