"But even so, it shouldn't be like this. I always feel there's sothing different in your hamring technique." Young Miss wasn't stupid. The fact that she could comprehend things from Xiaoyao's simple movents proved this point.
She just had a relatively carefree personality, but her perception was very keen. As long as she noticed sothing, she wouldn't see it any more shallowly than anyone else.
"Fine, actually my hamring technique does have principles. It's a hamring thod from a sword forging manual that incorporates so martial arts elents. So it's very normal that you could comprehend martial insights from it." Xiaoyao replied.
Of course there were hamring techniques. Good techniques could forge ordinary things into high-grade masterpieces, even turn decay into sothing miraculous.
These techniques were equivalent to martial arts manuals and wouldn't be easily learned by others, and naturally wouldn't be easily mastered either.
So sword forging families all had their own unique hamring thods, and the Mo family had them too, but the Mo family's were relatively diocre, far inferior to those top-tier ones.
Even so, mastering the Mo family's forging hamring techniques wasn't easy. Among so many people in the sword forging workshop, only a few had practiced to proficiency - most had only grasped them.
Therefore, those top-tier forging hamring techniques were even harder to master. This was almost like martial arts - very few people could practice to the extre.
"What sword forging manual? Can I take a look?" Young Miss imdiately asked. Since Xiaoyao's hamring technique could stimulate her comprehension, she naturally wanted to see this sword forging manual - perhaps she could comprehend even more things.
"I've forgotten which one it was, but I know where it is. It's in the Mo family's library tower. There are several sword forging manuals there, including the Mo family's own. You can go look when you have ti." Xiaoyao didn't hide anything. The manuals he had read were just those few.
However, he didn't explain that his hamring technique was no longer just one of those, but rather a fusion of various hamring techniques' advantages, with so of his own insights added, plus so martial arts comprehension.
It was this last point that would likely be the main reason Young Miss could achieve comprehension, but Xiaoyao wouldn't say this, or rather, he had already said it long ago.
Martial arts could be integrated everywhere, martial arts could be comprehended everywhere.
Xiaoyao liked a Taoist saying—
Humans follow earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Dao, Dao follows nature.
All things are Dao, all have certain patterns.
"Then I'll go look tomorrow. I'm exhausted today. Look, it's already dark." Young Miss looked at the sky outside, but she was also puzzled why she felt tired when it had just gotten dark.
During her comprehension, she was completely imrsed in it, unable to feel ti passing. In her perception, it had only been a short while.
"Young Miss, it's not that it's gotten dark - it's gotten light." Xiaoyao smiled, then put away the sword body in his hands, also preparing to rest.
"What? It's dawn? Impossible. Has that much ti passed?" Young Miss was stunned.
Xiaoyao nodded and said calmly: "Yes, you stood there for five hours, practiced sword for two hours. Aren't you very hungry? Want to wait for to go eat breakfast together?"
"Sure, since it's already so late..." Young Miss nodded, suddenly feeling her phrasing was wrong. Now she shouldn't say late, but early.
"Um... were you worried about , staying here to accompany ?" Young Miss suddenly asked.
"Yes." Xiaoyao directly nodded. He indeed was.
"Good brother. I'll cover for you for life." Young Miss patted Xiaoyao's shoulder, then put her arm around his shoulder, walking toward the bathroom together.
"..., Young Miss, I need to bathe..." Xiaoyao reminded her, seeing Young Miss actually entering the bathroom together.
This Young Miss must be too excited.
"I know. I'll bathe with you." Young Miss said without concern, beginning to undress.
"..., this isn't good..." Xiaoyao said awkwardly. Seeing Young Miss had already removed her outer clothing, he could only turn around and exit.
Young Miss said carelessly: "What's not good about it? We're brothers now. Wait, what are you going out for?"
"n and won are different."
"Don't treat as a woman. It's just that our bodies are a bit different."
"Still, you bathe first. I'm not used to bathing with others, especially 'brothers'." Xiaoyao said helplessly. This Young Miss was actually so crazy, even ignoring this.
"Shy? Haha... Idiot, I was teasing you. Did you think I'd really bathe with you. You perford very well... haha..." Young Miss's unbridled laughter ca from inside.
"..."
Xiaoyao waited by the door, sitting in ditation to circulate qi and nourish his spirit. Circulating cultivation thods was a good way to eliminate fatigue, essential dicine for staying up all night. Just one hour could make him energetic.
Xiaoyao could be certain that Young Miss would need most of half an hour inside. Won always bathed slower.
Actually, this place originally had separate male and female bathrooms. There were female workers here too. Jobs like polishing and decoration could be handled by won, and they even did better than n.
It's just that won generally didn't do physical labor. They didn't need to bathe imdiately and often used other public bathrooms or their own rooms. The Mo family didn't have just one bathroom - every courtyard and workshop had them.
The male bathroom at the sword forging workshop was always "in short supply," so they simply rged them.
After half an hour passed, Young Miss inside suddenly let out a startled cry, making Xiaoyao imdiately get up and prepare to rush in. Of course, he stopped in the end. He felt he should first clarify the situation, otherwise if he rashly barged in while Young Miss wasn't dressed, Young Miss would instantly kill him.
Soon, facts proved Xiaoyao's thinking was correct.
"Xiaoyao, I didn't bring clothes." Young Miss's voice ca out after a mont.
"So it's just no clothes. I thought you were ambushed." Xiaoyao replied irritably. "Why yell so loudly..."
"Damn. Can't I yell? If I don't yell, can you hear . Hurry up, go get my clothes."
Xiaoyao didn't comply, just saying: "Troubleso. I'll teach you a trick - use the soft energy of Mo family boxing to wash your clothes."
"Damn, when I tell you to get them, just get them. I can't and don't want to wash clothes." Young Miss's voice had so anger.
"Sister, you're a woman." Xiaoyao said irritably.
"So what if I am? I just won't wash clothes." Young Miss's anger increased a bit.
"Sister, I an it's inconvenient for to get your clothes. Think about it - I'm a man. If it's outer clothes that's fine, but those undergarnts..." Xiaoyao said very helplessly.
"Brother, I know what you want to say, but even if I wash my clothes, they'll be wet. How can I wear them." Young Miss also learned Xiaoyao's tone.
"You should have said so earlier. I have a solution for this. I'll teach you a little trick to dry clothes quickly. In the future when you encounter unavoidable situations, you'll have another way to cope." Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Tell ..."
"Wash the clothes, then wring them dry, put them on..." Xiaoyao said unhurriedly.
"Damn. What kind of thod is that." Young Miss was angry. Is this guy playing with ?
Xiaoyao continued slowly: "Listen to , it's not finished yet. Next is the key point - use internal energy to dry the clothes. As for how, I believe you'll comprehend it."
Internal energy was a good thing - it could ward off cold, dispel heat, and dry clothes...
"..."
Young Miss made no sound, and Xiaoyao continued sitting in ditation with closed eyes.
After about a quarter hour, Young Miss ca out from inside. The clothes on her body had been washed and were dry. This kind of small trick, once pointed out, she could master.
"Xiaoyao, this thod works. Where did you learn it?" Young Miss asked Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao got up and dusted off his clothes, walking inside while replying: "This is what martial artists often use in the wilderness. You, Young Miss, haven't experienced it, so you don't know."
"I see. Then how do you know it? Have you been to the wilderness?" Young Miss asked very curiously.
Xiaoyao paused, then said: "I don't want to hang and collect clothes. When bathing, I wash them at the sa ti, then dry them. Very convenient."
"..."
Actually, Xiaoyao didn't really learn it because of this. He understood after reading so books, and he indeed had the trouble of not wanting to collect and hang clothes. This wasn't laziness, but sotis he'd hang clothes here but already be working sowhere else, requiring running back and forth.
Xiaoyao bathed very quickly, at most ten minutes. While Young Miss was still savoring the sword techniques she had comprehended, just when she felt it had only been a mont, he had already co out.
"Co on, let's eat breakfast. My treat." Xiaoyao shouldered his bundle and walked ahead.
"Great, I want xiaolongbao..." Young Miss thought and said.
"No problem."
Xiaoyao agreed very readily, making people think he was generous, except—
"Damn. This is what you call treating ?" Young Miss stood in the Mo family kitchen. She really wanted to slap Xiaoyao to death.
Xiaoyao nodded and said: "Yes. There's everything here. You young masters and misses are very picky, everyone has many requirents, so there's everything."
"I don't need you to explain this. I'm giving you this opportunity to eat breakfast with . You don't go eat outside but eat at ho. Do you think you're worthy of this opportunity I'm giving you?" Young Miss pointed at Xiaoyao and asked.
"Of course I'm worthy. Young Miss, the breakfast outside definitely isn't as good as what we have here. Don't you believe it?" Xiaoyao didn't care at all, even being looked down upon by Young Miss.
