A low-ranking official?
Bai Su?
Gong Shuwu's words seemed to come from the distant sky, ethereal, light and a bit unreal. It took Bai Su a long time to react to the great news, but his expression was still dazed. Those eyes were kept open until they were sore.
"The lowest-ranking gentleman...Bai Su?"
Before, she had never thought that her name could be put together with these four words.
She had fantasized about it countless times.
She thought she would be so ecstatic that she would go crazy, but the moment her dream came true, she found that her emotions were abnormally calm. Calm as if it were a matter of course.
Seeing this, Gong Shuwu felt a little appreciative, and his mentality became more stable. If things really happened in the future, he would not be confused. A courageous warrior needs a strong heart.
"Bai Su, it's time to go back."
Who knows——
"Chief Gongshu, my subordinates have one more thing to do."
Bai Su drew out his swords twice.
When Gong Shuwu saw this obvious move of fighting from a distance, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Bai Su, do you know what you are doing?"
A low-ranking official is, after all, just a low-ranking official.
Is this the first step to challenge yourself?
Bai Su said: "I know."
Although she knew that she was overestimating her own abilities, Bai Su still saw with her own eyes how high the mountain in front of her was! How much do you have to pay to climb it! Gong Shuwu saw the fighting spirit surging in her eyes and did not refuse.
It doesn’t take much time anyway.
Just as Gong Shuwu thought, it really didn't take any time.
One move subdued him and cut off both of his swords.
"After half an hour, remember to go to the camp and do some fighting." Gong Shuwu didn't have any sympathy for her. Anyone who dared to hold two swords and point them at him was his opponent. He won't kill Bai Su, but he won't show mercy either.
This is the basic respect for brave warriors.
As for whether the blow will be too big?
She can't stand this level. If she loses the courage to swim against the current and fight against the waves, she won't be able to go far in martial arts.
Bai Su hugged the broken swords, lowered his head and said: "Wei."
"You really don't give me any face even if you take half a step." Gong Shuwu left with his front foot, and Bai Su keenly noticed a familiar scent nearby. He followed the sound and saw that it was Gu Chi. She pursed her lips, expecting Mr. Gu to be here for a while.
She lowered her eyelids and said, "Mr. Gu."
Gu Chi saw that she looked slightly defeated and annoyed but not discouraged, so he reassured and joked: "Can you see clearly?"
Bai Su looked confused.
Gu Chi reminded her: "See clearly how high the mountain is."
How big is the difference between a low-ranking official and a tenth-level Zuo Shu Zhang?
It's almost equivalent to Bai Su thinking that the top of the mountain is above the clouds, but he doesn't know that it's not even halfway up the mountain. Most of the mountain is above the clouds. If you want to climb this mountain...you have to be brave.
"What?"
Bai Su took a moment to realize that Gu Chi was teasing her. A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on his usually calm face, but he still managed not to have an attack and cursed in his heart that this literary scholar was not serious and looked at people. The five of them are gentle and polite, but they don't want to commit rogue behavior by using their voice to listen to the thoughts of their daughter's family. Naturally, the kind tone doesn't go anywhere.
"Mr. Gu is here to watch the excitement?"
Ridiculing her for not overestimating her abilities and thinking too high? It's funny to see how a low-ranking official dares to invite a tenth-level Zuo Shu Zhang to fight?
"Of course not." Gu Chi also overheard the voices of several people in the camp and found out that Bai Su had been missing for several hours, so he thought about looking for him. He was worried that it was the remnants of local snakes lurking in Fugu City who were responsible. Shuwu is more convenient.
When Bai Su heard this, his expression softened.
But he still gently reminded Gu Chi to be careful.
What is the difference between an older unmarried young man listening to the thoughts of a marriageable girl and being a hooligan?
Gu Chi: "..."
He wanted to pay attention to propriety.
However, the way of the scribes was beyond his control.
Speaking of which, Bai Su was the first person to raise this issue with him. It was hard for Gu Chi to show that he did not use the spirit of speech specifically to listen but was just a scribe, so he smiled bitterly and accepted the blame.
Fortunately, Bai Su didn't dwell too much on this issue and just wanted to stay away from Gu Chi in the future. If Gu Chi dares to do other offensive things, she will kill Gu Chi (*・ω・)✄╰ひ╯ even if it means losing both sides. She is not a soft persimmon who can be bullied.
Gu Chi: "..."
Bai Su's facial features are heroic, and there is undisguised ambition in his eyebrows: "...Uncle Gong, the leader is indeed very strong, but - as long as there is a mountain, there is a top, even if it is climbing, I have to climb up. I don't want to All that’s missing is time and energy!”
Starting late doesn’t mean you won’t reach the top.
Gu Chi was slightly surprised and couldn't help but wonder what kind of physique his lord had? The young ladies attracted all have different personalities - Lin Feng who wants to feed the people of the world, Yu Zi who hates purple and seizes vermillion, and Bai Su who wants to reach the pinnacle of martial arts with ambition.
I’ve seen arrogant people, but someone so arrogant——
Well, he suddenly remembered.
The most arrogant one seems to be his own lord?
There really are just as many subordinates as there are lords.
Gu Chi's eyebrows softened and he smiled and said, "Then I wish Madam Bai Su good luck in martial arts and everything she wishes."
The two walked back together, one behind the other, keeping their distance.
Passing by a busy craftsman's shop, the heat of the furnace hit my face - it was the spring plowing season, and some rusty farm tools also needed to be reworked and hammered. The masters and apprentices in the shop were too busy to touch the ground. ——Gu Chi paused.
Bai Su followed his gaze.
"What's wrong? Is there something going on?"
Gu Chi remembered something.
"Do you want your sword to be reforged?"
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but criticize Gong Shuwu.
A uniform is a uniform, what's the point of breaking someone's sword?
Those swords were probably passed down from his master's family.
Only then did Bai Su remember this matter.
but--
Ordinary craftsmen don't have this skill.
Bai Su said: "I'll do it myself later."
Gu Chi: "Oh, do it yourself..."
After speaking, he suddenly reacted and turned to look at Bai Su, who was still slender: "Do you still know how to blacksmith?"
Bai Su didn't understand why he looked like this.
Still nodding: "I have studied and know a little bit about it."
Understatement in six words.
Gu Chi: "..."
He looked at the old master and his apprentice who were sweating from the heat in the shop and had stripped off their upper body to only a thin shirt. Their arm muscles were swollen and gathering strength, swinging a hammer to hit the iron block. Then he looked at the white man on one side who was dressed plainly. Su, Gu Chi fell into a certain silence.
But Bai Su obviously had no intention of getting him.
He just said: "Under normal circumstances, this kind of skill is passed down from male to female, but there are always exceptions, right?"
Bai Su does not have this family tradition.
But her teacher does.
I heard from the teacher that his ancestors were from a blacksmithing family, and they relied on their skills to accumulate countless wealth and become famous. It's just that after the thief star descended from the sky, the brave warriors came with weapons that could evolve. Compared with ordinary weapons, they had no advantages and were easily damaged. Coupled with the family's poor management and problems such as siding with one another, they were regarded as a thorn in the side of the people in power. The family property was confiscated for some reason...
