Lüluo was stunned for a moment, then blushed.
Apparently, Wei Yi had rushed up and retracted his sword in time.
"Please punish this subordinate, Princess!" Wei Yi lowered his head and spoke in a solemn voice, full of self - reproach.
Just now, he had been distracted and made such a low - level mistake. If he had really accidentally injured the princess, not to mention whether his master would forgive him, he himself would never forgive himself.
Seeing this, Lüluo lowered her eyes to hide her previous panic, stepped back behind Chu Qing, and obediently kept silent.
Chu Qing casually glanced at Lüluo, whose ear tips were still slightly red, then shifted her gaze to Wei Yi, who was respectfully asking for punishment.
To be honest, she didn't know much about Wei Yi. Nor did she know much about Wei Er.
Oh, no.
Wei Er was quite bold.
Thinking of what Wei Er had said while pretending to be Wei Ying in the prefect's mansion of Chuanzhou City, she got so angry that her liver ached.
Although ignorance might be excused, this kid Wei Er had definitely offended her!
Well... without realizing it, her train of thought had strayed.
Fortunately, she quickly reined it back in. Chu Qing curled her lips.
"Wei Yi, I brought this girl Lüluo here to ask you. Are you really unwilling to teach her martial arts?"
Wei Yi staggered slightly, then sighed almost inaudibly and replied, "Princess, this subordinate is also thinking of... Miss Lüluo. She has a weak constitution and is not suitable for learning martial arts. Moreover, she has already passed the best age for learning martial arts. Even if she puts in a lot of effort, she may not get the corresponding rewards."
Lüluo retorted angrily, "If you don't teach me, how do you know I won't learn well!"
But Wei Yi lowered his head and didn't reply.
It seemed that he really didn't want to teach Lüluo.
Chu Qing looked at the two of them. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind. She turned her gaze to Wei Yi, who was standing obediently beside them, and slowly said, "Since that's the case, forget it. Wei Yi, how about... you teach her? I remember that back then, I trained with you and Wei Zhi."
Saying this, Chu Qing narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Wei Yi was stunned. He didn't expect this arduous task to suddenly fall on him.
Wei Yi's expression was a bit complicated, but after thinking for a while, he replied seriously, "Since Miss Lüluo wants to learn martial arts, how about waiting until we return to Pohuang, or... let Wei Zhi teach her. After all, learning martial arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight. And it would be more convenient for Wei Zhi to teach..."
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows. What Wei Yi said did make some sense.
"What do you think, Lüluo?" Chu Qing looked at Lüluo and asked for her opinion.
Hearing this, Lüluo pursed her lips, gave Wei Yi a cold look, then nodded and smiled at Wei Yi.
Wei Yi, who was being targeted, was a bit at a loss.
And Wei Yi, for some reason, replied with a somewhat flustered smile.
After settling the matter of Lüluo learning martial arts, just as Chu Qing was about to return to the tent, someone came to tell her that Xu Xin had refused all food and water.
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows. She gave up the idea of looking for Wei Ying and turned to the simple tent where Xu Xin was being held.
"Master! If she doesn't want to eat, let her be! Life and death are up to fate!" Lüluo was a bit confused as to why her master wanted to interfere in this matter.
Chu Qing lazily raised her eyes and looked at the tent in the distance where Xu Xin was being held. She said lightly:
"How could I let her die so easily? You should know that making someone live in agony is much more satisfying than just letting them die straightforwardly."
At this moment, there was a chilling aura around Chu Qing. Even Lüluo couldn't help but shiver.
Ah...
Her master was so scary!
But... she liked her master like this so much!
...
When Chu Qing walked into the tent where Xu Xin was, she frowned.
The tent was very shabby, with no objects in it.
There was only a layer of dry grass on the ground. On the haystack, there was a wooden stake. And Xu Xin was tied to the stake.
The tent emitted a stench. Chu Qing held back her nausea, covered her nose, and then walked out of the tent.
She had miscalculated!
Originally, she had thought...
No.
This punishment must be carried out.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing ordered the servants to bring Xu Xin out, then motioned for Lüluo to come closer.
After Lüluo heard her master's instructions clearly, her face was full of shock.
Could it really be done like this?
"Mas... master? Are you sure???" Lüluo stammered.
Chu Qing glanced at her and then waved her hand, signaling her to prepare quickly.
"Make sure... there is a wide variety!" Chu Qing told Lüluo again.
"Got it!"
...
Because Xu Xin hadn't eaten or drunk for more than three days, she had no strength left.
So when she was dragged out, she collapsed on the ground.
In a daze, she seemed to see Chu Qing.
"Am I having a nightmare? She's really a persistent ghost..." Xu Xin murmured softly.
Chu Qing looked at her playfully, then slowly said, "Look at you. How could it be a nightmare? It's clearly a wonderful dream."
Chu Qing's voice made Xu Xin shiver involuntarily.
Then, she opened her eyes.
It wasn't a dream!
That bitch Chu Qing had really come!!!
Xu Xin gritted her teeth weakly and said feebly, "I'd rather starve to death than be insulted by you!"
"You still have some strength." Chu Qing smiled and continued, "I'm not here to persuade you to eat. Whether you live or die doesn't really matter to me. I just came to see... how you've been these days?"
Saying this, Chu Qing leaned forward, then said in surprise, "Oh! Sister! Why has your skin become so rough? I remember that back then, your skin was as smooth as coagulated fat. It's only been a few days. How could it have become like this?"
"You!!!" Xu Xin instinctively wanted to cover her face, but her hands were tied behind her back and she couldn't move at all.
So, she could only lower her head, trying to hide her face.
Women cared most about their appearance, and Chu Qing was now rubbing salt into her wound.
Chu Qing pretended to cover her mouth and laughed. Then she took a step back to keep some distance from Xu Xin before continuing, "Just now when I got closer to you, I noticed that your body... smells a bit. " Saying this, Chu Qing looked directly at Xu Xin's dirty clothes, covered her nose, and showed a look of disgust on her face, "Those stains on you. Could it be... Eww! So disgusting."
"Chu Qing!!!" Xu Xin roared hoarsely.
That bitch Chu Qing was going too far!
She always brought up the most uncomfortable topics!
She hadn't eaten or drunk these days not only because she wanted to end her own life, but more importantly, she wanted to reduce some personal problems.
After all, now that she had become a prisoner, no one would serve her.
So...
Ah!!!
She really wanted to tear Chu Qing into pieces!
Just when she thought she was about to explode with anger, suddenly several people came carrying a table and a chair.
Then, they placed them not far from her, and Chu Qing slowly sat down.
What was she going to do?
"Lüluo, start." Chu Qing clapped her hands with a smile.
