Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 115 Shao Siming VS Honglian, Honglian's Invitation

manor!

Nongyu and Madam Hu went to pay their respects to Dongjun, their mistress.

Jiang Yu, of course, continued her daily instruction of Shao Siming and Honglian.

A martial arts arena!
From today onwards, Shao Siming and Honglian have one more course to take.

Simulated battle!

Jiang Yu stood by as a referee, while also protecting the safety of Shao Siming and Honglian, who were fighting.

"Om..."

Shao Siming moved her small hands, swirling with internal energy, drawing the leaves of the trees towards her.

On the other hand, Honglian held a sword in one hand and made a sword-pointing gesture with the other, her pretty face full of confidence.

If she can't beat her "Number One in the World" master, how can she not beat her junior uncle? Looking at the seven or eight-year-old Shao Siming, Honglian wouldn't have wanted to bully the younger one if it weren't for her master's strict orders.

"Junior Uncle, be careful."

Honglian gave a final reminder, then lunged at Shao Siming with her sword, the blade coiled with her inner force like a serpent emerging from its hole, displaying its sharpness.

In response, Shao Siming pointed her small finger, and the leaves she controlled condensed into a sharp blade, which met Honglian head-on.

Just as the two were about to make contact, the sharp blades formed from the leaves scattered with a "bang," avoiding Honglian's sword strike while also gathering into two smaller blades that continued straight towards Honglian's face.

Honglian's confident face changed instantly, and she quickly did a backbend to avoid the attack.

But with a slight movement of Shao Siming's small hand, the sharp leaf blades slid in a graceful arc and circled back to attack.

Seeing this, Honglian had no choice but to slap the ground, leap up and turn face down, sweeping her long sword horizontally. With the burst of internal energy, a burst of energy swept out, finally shattering the leaf blades controlled by Shao Siming.

However, after Honglian landed, she turned around and saw that as Shao Siming skillfully formed hand seals, a ball made of leaves gradually took shape.

"not good!"

Honglian sensed the danger and immediately dared not unleash her inner strength in the slightest. With her mesmerizing steps, she quickly approached Shao Siming.

But just as Honglian took a few steps and her feet touched the ground again, vines suddenly sprouted from the ground and tightly wrapped around her feet.

Honglian tried to break free with her internal energy, but found it impossible. Helpless, she had no choice but to turn her sword downwards first, which finally cut off the annoying vines.

But in that very moment, the leaf ball in Shao Siming's hand was completely formed, and then she squeezed it with her little hand.

"Oh!"

The leaf ball suddenly exploded open, and in an instant, countless leaves, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, rushed towards the red lotus with astonishing speed brought by the explosion.

"This……"

Seeing the barrage of attacks, Honglian was dumbfounded. How was she supposed to defend against this?

Fortunately, at that moment, a cold glint flashed even faster and blocked Honglian's path, as her drawn sword returned to its sheath.

"Shhhhh..."

In an instant, sword light erupted from almost all the leaves at the same time, and they all exploded on the spot.

How to prevent?
Jiang Yu personally taught Honglian; all she had to do was swing her sword fast enough.

"Honglian, you've lost."

"Hmph, it's because Junior Uncle is too shameless that he didn't even get to use his true abilities."

Honglian was extremely frustrated upon hearing this. Fighting Shao Siming was like hitting cotton; she had no way to use her strength.

It felt like all her sword practice these past few days had been for nothing, and she was incredibly miserable. "If I were to unleash my full power in one strike, I would lose... Ouch."

Jiang Yu immediately gave Honglian a sharp rap on the head:
"Do you really think that the opponents you encounter in the martial arts world will act according to your expectations?"

"Yes, yes, Master is right."

Honglian rubbed her head in a wronged manner, then looked at the long sword in her hand, as if she had thought of something, and said to Jiang Yu:
"Master, I've been practicing swordsmanship according to your instructions lately, but something just feels off. What's wrong with me?"

"Can you finally feel it?"

Jiang Yu was not surprised at all upon hearing this, because the sword manual he taught Honglian was based on the chain sword, but Honglian was now practicing with an ordinary longsword. As her swordsmanship became more and more proficient, it would be strange if it didn't feel awkward.

Finally, Jiang Yu said very tolerantly:
"You don't need to practice swordsmanship for the next few days. Just relax and enjoy yourself."

For Honglian, this might be her only relaxing vacation for a long time to come.

"Oh!"

Although Honglian didn't understand why, she still obediently listened to her.

Because long-term lessons have taught her that if her master wants to explain, he will explain it to her directly; if he doesn't want to explain, she should just obediently listen. If she dares to ask more questions, the result will either be getting a blunder or a sharp rap on the head.

“Master, since we have a rare opportunity to relax, I heard that the most famous actor from Zhao will be performing in Xinzheng tonight. How about we go see him together?”

The term "paiyou" is similar to the later term "lianren," referring to actors who perform in plays.

"Don't go."

Jiang Yu had no interest in this; he'd rather spend his time listening to Nongyu play the zither.

"Oh, Master, please go, please go..."

Undeterred, Honglian stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yu's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Considering that your obedient and adorable disciple has been practicing swordsmanship so diligently these past few days, Master, please accompany Honglian this once, Master..."

Honglian's peach blossom eyes looked at Jiang Yu with a watery gaze, and her pitiful face was so adorable that it almost melted one's heart.

Jiang Yu reached out and pressed down on that adorable face that was breaking the rules, saying helplessly:

"Alright, alright, your master will go with you."

He had asked Honglian to do a lot of things for him, and now Honglian only wanted him to watch a play with her. Moreover, she had already begged him so much, so it would be too cold and heartless to refuse her.

In addition, Jiang Yu remembered that in the anime, Hu Meiren would also go to listen to operas, and it would be good to take Nongyu and Madam Hu to meet their relatives while she was at it.

"Yay, Master is the best!"

Honglian excitedly planted a kiss on Jiang Yu's cheek and ran off joyfully.
"See you tonight, Master."

Looking at this lively fellow, she shook her head. But when Jiang Yu turned her gaze to the quiet, obedient little figure waiting to the side, she felt that liveliness was better.

Jiang Yu stepped forward with pity, gently patted Shao Siming's head, and whispered:

"Come on, let's go over the new script."

The latter nodded slightly in response.

So much time has passed, it's impossible for Jiang Yu and Shao Siming to only act in one "Calabash Brothers" movie.

Especially when discussing the script, under Jiang Yu's deliberate guidance and due to her lack of understanding of the script, Shao Siming's reactions will be much more frequent than usual, which is exactly what Jiang Yu wants to see.

This time, Jiang Yu has also added illusionary manipulation to the new script, gradually leading people to break free from their past and regain their spirits.

The hope is that this will subtly guide Shao Siming, making her willing to actively accept the illusion-induced treatment plan proposed by Yan Lingji.
