Chapter 1152: Chapter 1150: Invitation
Supporting Changping up, Wufu also called Qing Xin to stand up. Then, she asked Mo Yu and Jadeite to take Qing Xin and the new servant girl nad Qing Ling down for tea. The two of them sat down again to talk.
"Wufu, were you scared at that ti?" Changping ntioned the calamity at the restaurant that day, feeling a bit anxious still.
During that calamity, those who went out with her, so died, and so were injured. Now, those who follow her are all new faces. So even have Kung Fu skills, especially Qing Ling, who has a background as a Hidden Guard.
All of this was arranged by my mother consort for her safety.
Wufu said, "Scared? How could I not be? I was afraid of the pain too!"
Changping, however, looked at her steadily: "No, you weren’t scared!"
Wufu raised an eyebrow, glancing at her askew.
Changping said, "With your abilities, so agile, with such high martial arts skills, and you can kill without blinking, how could you be scared!"
"Wronged!" Wufu cried out, "I did blink, only dead people don’t blink, and I’m alive."
She spoke playfully, and Changping laughed, pointing at her and scolding, "You’re so cheeky, that’s not what I ant!"
Wufu lazily leaned against a pillow and said, "As long as you think, if the other person doesn’t die, you will, then you won’t be scared. They’re out for your life, what is there to fear? Fight back!"
Changping seed thoughtful, nodded, leaning against a pillow like her, and asked, "Wufu, your Kung Fu is really good, how did you practice?"
"Oh, I’ve been practicing since I was little," Wufu answered before she could finish. "Don’t even think about asking to be a disciple, I’m not a good teacher, and I don’t have much to teach. Besides, my Kung Fu isn’t easy to learn. Anyway, you’re a Commandery Princess, you don’t need to practice yourself, don’t you have plenty of highly skilled martial artists? Isn’t Qing Ling one?"
Changping felt a bit disappointed, humd a response, and said, "It was my mother consort who reported to my father king, and then assigned such a person to serve by my side."
"That’s also good, although our luck’s bad in this, having soone with martial arts around gives more sense of security."
But Changping said, "No matter how good others are, they’re not as good as being good myself. What if she’s not around? Can’t I only rely on myself?"
Wufu thought, knowing this ans you’re not too naive. So, she said, "In that case, you already have so foundation. Practicing with those who know martial arts regularly can improve your skills." However, she dared not speak about actual combat being the best way to gain experience.
Seeing Wufu had no intention of taking her as a disciple, Changping did not insist and figured she could spar with Qing Ling later.
"Wufu, everyone says that incident was orchestrated by Brother Shi himself," Changping lowered her voice to say.
Wufu blinked and said, "Changping, this isn’t sothing we can ddle in. Just pretend you don’t know. Speaking too much can lead to trouble!"
Changping’s expression slightly turned serious: "I know how to asure things, I’m just saying it here with you." Then she changed the topic, saying, "Wufu, you saved my life, my mother consort said she wants to host a banquet to invite you to our estate to play, as a token of gratitude, are you free?"
Wufu was taken aback: "Invite
to a banquet?"
Changping smiled and said, "It’s not just inviting you. In fact, my mother consort wants to hold a Lotus Flower Banquet, inviting several madams and young ladies to have fun." She paused and added, "To be honest, my elder brother is already eighteen this year."
Upon hearing this, Wufu imdiately sensed sothing and blurted out, "So, your mother consort wants to find a wife for your brother." Seeing her nod, she said, "Well, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for
to go?"
After all, she wasn’t a noble lady.
