Chapter 163: She really learned it!

"To operate fist techniques, one must first know force."

Gu Qing exchanged fist techniques with Gu Renyu, explaining to him the human skeleton, joints, and movement axes. These were the core of fist techniques. Only by having a clear understanding of the whole body could one know the changes in fist techniques and how to strike people.

Murong Jiu, Zhang Jing, and Tie Xinlan were all listening carefully, while Jiang Xiaoyu'er pretended to be indifferent, but in reality, his ears were already pricked up.

Jiang Xiaoyu'er had learned quite a bit about these human skeletons, joints, and movement axes from Wan Chunliu, so his understanding was the deepest. As for this deceptive fist path, it was even more tailor-made for Jiang Xiaoyu'er.

In the Nine Shows Shanzhuang, several days passed in a flash.

Gu Qing learned Gu Renyu's fist techniques and also passed the Hundred Flowers Mistaken Fists to Gu Renyu.

After passing on the martial arts, Gu Qing brushed up merit from Gu Renyu, Tie Xinlan, and Jiang Xiaoyu'er.

"Thank you."

Tie Xinlan thanked Gu Qing.

Tie Xinlan's family-transmitted Crazy One Hundred and Eight Strikes was originally a superb fist technique, but now after hearing Gu Qing's lecture, she understood it more deeply.

"He was the one willing to speak; we didn't ask him, why thank him?"

Jiang Xiaoyu'er had already contributed merit to Gu Qing, but upon hearing Tie Xinlan's thanks, he immediately shouted.

Although Jiang Xiaoyu'er and Tie Xinlan had been together for a short time, he had already developed a different kind of feeling for Tie Xinlan.

"If Miss Tie has any parts she doesn't understand, you can come find me."

Gu Qing glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu'er and said to Tie Xinlan with a smile: "Gu will certainly not be stingy."

Tie Xinlan thanked him again.

The Little Fairy Zhang Jing watched all this, glanced sideways at Murong Jiu, saw her expression was indifferent and everything was as usual, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you jealous?"

Murong Jiu's eyes were indifferent, her voice cold and beautiful, and she asked: "Why should I be jealous?"

"The two of you, haven't you already..."

The Little Fairy Zhang Jing whispered.

Murong Jiu's expression did not change, and she asked: "Already what?"

Zhang Jing looked at Murong Jiu strangely and said: "I know you don't like Gu Renyu, but there is no need to hide this from me. I saw Gu Qing holding your hand."

Zhang Jing was Murong Jiu's good sister.

Murong Jiu said coolly: "That was him teaching me hidden weapon techniques."

In the Jianghu, there is sometimes a saying that martial arts are passed to men and not to women. Some say it is because they fear the martial arts will be passed to women, and when women marry out, the martial arts will spread. But on the other hand, some martial arts require physical contact when being taught, making it very inconvenient to teach female disciples.

However, some Jianghu children do not stand on ceremony, and sometimes it is normal to have some contact when teaching martial arts.

Zhang Jing blinked and said: "I also saw Gu Qing pinching your leg."

Murong Jiu said calmly: "That was him wanting to correct my lightness skill."

Zhang Jing was truly surprised this time. The Murong family's hidden weapons and lightness skills were the best in the world. Gu Qing coming to correct Murong Jiu's martial arts in these two aspects had low credibility, and Zhang Jing had truly seen the intimacy between Murong Jiu and Gu Qing.

"In short, Gu Qing and I are very innocent."

As she spoke, Murong Jiu stood up and walked outside.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Jing asked curiously.

"Dealing with some uninvited guests."

As she spoke, Murong Jiu drifted away.

Seeing this, Zhang Jing flashed up and followed behind Murong Jiu, surprisingly discovering that Murong Jiu's lightness skill was indeed much different—her posture was like a fairy, light, agile, and swift. In an instant, she left the Nine Shows Shanzhuang and swept toward the mountain forest. By the time the Little Fairy leaped into the forest, Murong Jiu's figure was no longer visible.

"This lightness skill is indeed a notch higher than mine."

Zhang Jing stomped her feet, followed some traces left by Murong Jiu, and walked about half a mile. Suddenly, she heard screams one after another. She quickly accelerated her pace. After exiting the mountain forest, she saw several corpses on the ground, and more Jianghu people wailing and fleeing.

Murong Jiu's figure was like flying, her techniques were very swift, and with a flick of her finger, there were always Jianghu people wailing, one after another, as if she never missed.

The Little Fairy raised the long whip in her hand, knocked down several Jianghu people in succession, and shouted: "Who are they?"

A fierce man came before Murong Jiu, his martial arts superb, making her unable to answer.

"Some news came from the Murong family, saying that the Bai Yang and Huang Niu of the Twelve Zodiacs brought a group of Jianghu people to attack the Nine Shows Shanzhuang."

Gu Qing arrived beside the Little Fairy at this time and said: "Murong Jiu's martial arts have reached a critical moment and she really cannot leave. We can only kill all these Jianghu people."

The Little Fairy looked at Gu Qing, not knowing how he came here, but upon hearing Bai Yang and Huang Niu, her face was filled with worry.

The Twelve Zodiacs were the most ruthless group of robbers in the Jianghu, having dominated the Jianghu for thirty years, only having stumbled at the hands of Yan Nantian and Palace Master Yao Yue.

"Your worry is justified."

At this moment, a person with a goat beard leaning on a cane looked at Gu Qing and the Little Fairy and said: "Among the Twelve Zodiacs, Bai Yang is the smartest, and Huang Niu is the bravest. You coming out to fight us is truly unwise... By the time you came out, our other group should have already breached the Nine Shows Shanzhuang."

Bai Yang of the Twelve Zodiacs stroked his beard and said calmly.

"What?"

The Little Fairy hurriedly wanted to turn back.

"Don't panic."

Gu Qing pressed the Little Fairy's shoulder and said: "Among the Twelve Zodiacs, the one with the highest wisdom is Wei Wuya. Bai Yang is a moron among them."

Gu Qing loved to speak the truth.

Among the Twelve Zodiacs, the one with the highest wisdom was Wei Wuya, and the one with the highest martial arts was also Wei Wuya. If Bai Yang were judged by wisdom, he would definitely be a notch lower than Wei Wuya, so calling him a moron was not wrong at all.

Bai Yang had always been very conceited about his own wisdom. Upon hearing the evaluation of "moron," he was furious and asked: "You say I am not as good as Wei Wuya?"

Gu Qing shook his head and said: "Not just not as good, simply not as good."

Bai Yang was furious upon hearing this and leaped toward Gu Qing.

The long whip in the Little Fairy's hand flashed and struck toward Bai Yang. Bai Yang confidently tilted his head, but felt a whip whistle by his ear. Turning his head back, he saw not far behind him, a white-clad woman had appeared at some point. The long whip in her hand flicked, striking directly at the back of his head.

Bai Yang barely tilted his head.

"Snap!"

The long whip struck Bai Yang's face, sending him flying through the air.

Gu Qing stood in place, casually threw a punch, blasting it through the air toward Bai Yang. Bai Yang, in mid-air, felt his limbs shake, sensed this condensed internal energy, and realized his own stupidity.

The moment he charged at Gu Qing, he was already courting death.

"Mother!"

The Little Fairy called out affectionately to the white-clad figure.

This white-clad figure was none other than Zhang San Niang, icy cold, with peerless jade beauty. Her long whip flashed repeatedly, heading toward Huang Niu, who was entangled with Murong Jiu.

Huang Niu flashed, having just dodged the tip of the whip, when he suddenly saw a white light emitted from Murong Jiu's hand. By the time he recovered, a flying dagger was already stuck in his throat.

Lightness skill and hidden weapons...

The Little Fairy looked at Murong Jiu; she was really learning things!
