Chapter 276: Improved Quite a Lot

Seeing this, Shangguan Xingyu hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "Mother Consort, please rest assured, this matter is entirely on your daughter-in-law." Yan Wang said somewhat embarrassedly: "How can I trouble Elder Sister-in-law like this?"

Shangguan Xingyu then replied gently: "Wang'er, don't be so polite; as the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother, these are all things I should do. Besides, you have grown up now, and indeed need to pay more attention to your own image."

Listening to Shangguan Xingyu's such thoughtful words, An Wangfei felt increasingly satisfied and relieved in her heart. In fact, the reason she made this request was originally to use this matter to let Shangguan Xingyu integrate into the An Wang Fu family more quickly and better.

Yan Wang originally wanted to say something more, but when he saw his mother's determined gaze, he understood in his heart that saying more would be useless, so he helplessly sighed, gave up continuing to argue, and turned to say to Shangguan Xingyu: "Then I will have to trouble Elder Sister-in-law."

Shangguan Xingyu hurriedly waved her hand, smiling as she replied: "Oh, it's no trouble at all! We are all one family." Just like that, several people sat around together, chatting cheerfully and lively, the whole atmosphere filled with warmth and harmony.

The next morning, the sun was bright, a gentle breeze brushing the face. Shangguan Xingyu got up early, finished washing and dressing, and then came to Yan Shuang'er's door and lightly knocked.

Not long after, Yan Shuang'er opened the door, the two looked at each other and smiled, linking arms and going out together to stroll the streets. Along the way, their laughter never ceased; sometimes they stopped to admire the exquisite ornaments on roadside stalls, sometimes they tasted the delicious food from street snack stalls, playing to their heart's content.

Simultaneously, Qianqian who remained in the Fu originally planned to go find Yue Yi to spar in martial arts. However, when she ran excitedly before Yue Yi and made this request, she received an answer that disappointed her — Yue Yi told her that the one sparring with her today was not himself.

Qianqian's heart instantly went "thump", she secretly thought things were bad. Because she suddenly remembered that An Wang had once said before, that after she returned from outside he would personally fight a bout with her.

Thinking of this, Qianqian couldn't help revealing a miserable smile, and said to Yue Yi: "Brother Yue Yi, since it's inconvenient for you to spar with me today, let's change it to tomorrow. I suddenly remember I still have some official business to handle, so I'll take my leave first!" Finished speaking, she turned and wanted to slip away.

However, Qianqian had only just taken two steps when she heard An Wang's familiar voice coming from not far away: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, sparring first then leaving isn't late either!"

Hearing this, Qianqian pretended not to hear, moving like the wind, swiftly using lightness skill trying to escape the scene. However, An Wang knew this mischievous and adorable daughter of his inside out, so how could he easily let her escape?

Only to see An Wang also display superb lightness skill, his figure flashing, in the blink of an eye he caught up behind Qianqian, and reached out to grab her by the collar, lifting her back like carrying a little chick.

Qianqian flailed her arms and legs struggling desperately, and shouted loudly: "Father! Quickly let go of me!" And at this moment, the always majestic and solemn An Wang actually rarely revealed a trace of amiable smile, slowly saying: "Don't be anxious, come practice your hands and feet too."

However, Qianqian wore an anxious expression, hurriedly replying: "Father, your daughter still has many official matters urgently awaiting handling, let's leave it for next time!"

Hearing this, An Wang merely lightly waved his hand, unconcernedly saying: "Those official matters, why must they be so urgent? Waiting until you have time to handle them is also fine." Finished speaking, he unhesitatingly lifted Qianqian, like throwing a silk ball, and threw her straight onto that broad and flat Wuchang.

Fortunately Qianqian had practiced martial arts since childhood, her movements exceptionally agile; only to see her nimbly flip a somersault in midair, then stand steadily on the ground.

Seeing escape was hopeless, she simply steeled her heart, secretly thinking: Since I can't escape, then I'll go all out! So she raised her head to look at An Wang, timidly saying: "Father, you must go easy, absolutely don't hit the face!" Hearing this, An Wang slightly nodded, giving her a reassuring look, while slowly saying: "Rest assured, you make the first move."

Having obtained permission, Qianqian didn't dare delay, instantly erupting with astonishing speed, her whole figure like lightning rushing out. In the blink of an eye, she had already flashed before An Wang like a ghost, immediately following without hesitation swinging her fist, smashing straight toward An Wang's handsome face.

But who would have thought, An Wang's strength was unfathomable, facing Qianqian's this swift and fierce strike, he actually easily vanished without a trace, not even leaving a single trace behind.

Qianqian was originally still immersed in her own thunderous offensive, not detecting at all that An Wang had already quietly left. Until she suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill attack from her back, she only then woke as if from a dream, but at this moment it was already too late to make more reaction, she could only rely on instinct to dodge rapidly to the side.

Fortunately she dodged in time, otherwise she would certainly have fallen miserably to the ground, ending up in a sorry state. An Wang watched Qianqian before him with great interest, only to see her figure light as a swallow, movements agile as the wind, cleverly and nimbly dodging his attacks.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help curling up slightly, secretly thinking in his heart: This little girl, usually I didn't notice, now looking at it her kung fu has actually improved quite a lot!

Immediately following, An Wang decided to counterattack, his figure flashing, swiftly closing in on Qianqian like a ghost. However, although his move speed was extremely fast, he did not use full strength, seemingly just wanting to test Qianqian's true strength.

Facing An Wang's fierce offensive, Qianqian didn't dare be the least bit careless, she concentrated fully on responding to every move and style, while also secretly seeking a chance to counterattack. Finally, she spotted a fleeting opening, flew up with a leg kicking fiercely at An Wang's lower body.

Seeing this, An Wang was not flustered at all, he lightly leaped, easily avoiding Qianqian's this strike. Simultaneously, he borrowed the momentum of the leap, smoothly striking out a palm, straight toward Qianqian's shoulder.

Qianqian caught off guard, basically had no time to dodge, only heard a "bang" muffled sound, her whole person was struck by the palm force, stumbling backward several steps before barely stabilizing her figure.

Just at this time, a burst of urgent footsteps came from far to near, it turned out to be the Wangfu's Steward running all the way over. Only to see that Steward panting as he ran before An Wang, bowed in salute then shouted loudly: "Wangye, the Emperor has issued an edict, summoning you to enter the Palace immediately to face the Saint!"
