Chapter 86
86. Ying Zhu Still Can't Bear to Open It
When Pei Nianyu saw Lou Yefeng take out the short black thorn stick, he froze in place.
Use it as a ruler...five strokes with the palm of your hand...
It took him a long time to react, and Lou Yefeng's expression didn't seem to be just scaring him.
However, he subconsciously couldn't believe it was true.
His Ye Feng... How could he really hit him?He was held in the palm of Ye Feng's hand the whole time, fearing that he might get hurt at all.Didn't he blame himself every time he got hurt?
Hmm... Ye Feng definitely won't do anything to me.
Pei Nianyu thought so.
In fact, if Lou Yefeng really just hit him twice, he wouldn't care.But the problem is... the Calm Heart Lake is full of shadow guards. Except for those who change shifts and go back to rest and deploy defenses in other places in the palace, there are nearly fifty shadow guards guarding around this lake alone.
Letting him be slapped by Lou Yefeng while so many shadow guards watched, it really made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
His Ye Feng... how could he beat him in front of so many shadow guards, no, no.
Therefore, Pei Nianyu's face remained unchanged, and he forced himself to appear indifferent on weekdays, but he panicked in his heart.He forced a smile:
"...Yefeng, don't make trouble. Come and eat some snacks to calm down. I'll continue practicing after eating."
After saying that, he burrowed into the pavilion, as if he could avoid the eyes of the shadow guards.Then he pretended not to see Lou Yefeng's expression, and opened the snack box.
However, he had just opened the box halfway, when suddenly a gust of wind blew past his hand, and there was a heavy "bang", the snack box was pulled back by Lou Yefeng with the thorn stick.
Pei Nianyu gasped, and was shocked in place.
He slowly turned his head to look at Lou Yefeng, only to see that man's eyes were sharp, the chill was overwhelming, and he stabbed straight like a sword.The majesty in that gaze squeezed Pei Nianyu's chest.
And his entire face was turned into a hard rock, no longer the softness and pampering, his lips were tightly pursed into a slit.
Pei Nianyu felt a chill in his heart - this kind of Lou Yefeng was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
Familiar because, only when the enemy angered him, he would show such a look.Whenever he showed such an expression, it was followed by a thunderous action, eradicating the enemy without hesitation.
What was strange was that he had never seen Lou Yefeng look at him like this before.This was the first time Pei Nianyu felt the severity and anger in Lou Yefeng's gaze.
Facing such awe-inspiring anger, Pei Nianyu was at a loss. The appearance of Lou Yefeng...it reminded him of the moment when he was in elementary school when he faced the dean's supervision everywhere and he was caught showing up again.
"Ye Feng, you..."
After half a sentence, Pei Nianyu didn't realize how trembling his tone was.
But Lou Yefeng didn't seem to hear his master's soft call, he directly reached out to lift up his master's lapel, and then flew to the middle of Calm Heart Lake with a quick leap.
Pei Nianyu panicked even more.This place is so empty, all the shadow guards around the lake can clearly see what happened here!
Lou Yefeng took a step back and raised the thorn stick:
"As the deacon of the teaching, the subordinate has the duty to persuade the master to practice martial arts attentively. The master neglects to practice, so the teacher should strictly supervise him."
Then he whispered:
"Hand out!"
Pei Nianyu suddenly looked up at him, but his hands remained motionless as if they were stuck to his body.
………………
Lou Yefeng didn't urge him, but still kept his majestic eyes, looking at his master quietly.
Over the years, this was the first time Pei Nianyu felt how uncomfortable it was that Lou Yefeng was taller than him.He had to raise his head to look directly at Lou Yefeng, at this moment he only felt Lou Yefeng's substantial gaze sweeping over his head, making him breathless.
However, what Pei Nianyu didn't see was that Lou Yefeng's hands hidden in his sleeves were already trembling badly due to nervousness.
It was the first time for Pei Nianyu to be treated like this by Lou Yefeng, but for Lou Yefeng, it was the first time that he spoke harshly to his master in the name of a teacher, and even wanted to personally punish him.
That's the master he puts on top of his heart... How could he want to make his master hurt, and why would he want his master to be wronged?
However, on the day of the palace banquet accident, Li Han's mocking words to him still echoed in his ears like a torrent of bells——
"His Royal Highness King Yu possesses such a profound inner power. It has been two months since he woke up, but he is still like a waste of martial arts. May I ask you, the teaching deacon, what have you taught?"
Lou Yefeng thought, he didn't teach the master well before, he let the master be lazy and not practice, this is his dereliction of duty.Although his martial arts recovered quickly now, within two months after he lost his martial arts, he had caused troubles to his master several times.
And the master didn't know why, after waking up, he became more resistant to carrying the shadow guard with him.The other shadow guards were not as disobedient as Lou Yefeng, the master didn't want them to follow, and they had to dodge obediently by waving a gesture.
Such a master, how can he rest assured.
However, Lou Yefeng looked at the disbelieving gaze of the master in front of him, while telling himself that he must be ruthless this time to let the master remember the lesson of not practicing martial arts well, on the other hand, the fingers in his sleeve trembled more and more.
In the final analysis, he forced his master to learn martial arts because his own martial arts had regressed, and he could no longer protect his master anytime and anywhere.
After all, this is not the responsibility that the master, a dignified prince, needs to bear.
That's why Lou Yefeng knew that if the master said at this time, "Why should the work of the shadow guard be placed on me", he would immediately be speechless, and there was no reason to continue this punishment.
even……
Lou Yefeng thought, the master only needs to show half of the master's airs, and say coldly, "How dare you commit an offense?", and he may immediately throw down his armor and armor, lose any toughness, and then kneel down to plead guilty.
However, Lou Yefeng, who was about to be unable to hold on to this ostentation, watched helplessly as his master's gaze changed from questioning to sullen, to helpless.
Then, the master slowly stretched out his left hand.
Lou Yefeng looked at the master's white as jade palm, his heart trembled violently, he couldn't bear it unconsciously, but he restrained himself.
Pei Nianyu snorted coldly:
"It's my fault to be lazy in practice, and I should be punished quickly."
Pei Nianyu's heart was full of disbelief just now, but he never had the slightest thought of using his identity to force Ye Feng.
He personally applied for the position of teaching deacon, and he himself gave Lou Yefeng the authority to surpass himself in teaching martial arts.
——If he used his status as the master to force Ye Feng to subdue in order to avoid mere slaps, how could he possibly achieve the same status as Lou Yefeng?
Then all his previous efforts will be in vain.From now on, Lou Yefeng will strictly abide by his "duty as a subordinate", and will never try to do such an overstepping act.
Pei Nianyu figured out the stakes in this in a flash, and sighed in his heart, thinking it was Ye Feng throwing a temper tantrum, as a boyfriend, he should forgive her...
However, just as he was mentally prepared, he was caught off guard by the sound of the thorn breaking the wind, and suddenly felt a pain in the palm of his hand.
A burning sensation emanated from the palm, leaving a red mark visible to the naked eye, and it was slowly beginning to swell.
Pei Nianyu's eyes widened instantly - Ye Feng actually used his internal strength!
Before he could react, Lou Yefeng's low voice said again:
"Master, does the master know the practice when our shadow guards are punished?"
Pei Nianyu was speechless.
"Every time the subordinate hits, please ask the master to say again - 'I will definitely practice martial arts well', as a guarantee."
A burst of anger suddenly surged up in Pei Nianyu's chest:
"Ye Feng, you—!"
There are more than fifty shadow guards by the lake, all of them can hear his words clearly in their ears!
Pei Nianyu suddenly felt sore, how could his Ye Feng have the heart to put him in such an embarrassing situation?
"Master, do you want them to watch for a while longer?"
"I……"
But this was his own choice, and he had to swallow it with tears in his eyes.If he didn't want to accept it, he could have stopped him from the beginning, so why endure it until now.
After another long period of silence, Pei Nianyu finally spoke with difficulty:
"...I...will...definitely...practice martial arts..."
After saying a word, Pei Nianyu felt the scar on his palm become more swollen and painful.I don't know if it's because of the pain or the grievance in my heart is unbearable, but the circles of my eyes are half red.
The wind broke again.
"Second time."
"Master, since you know that you have no talent in martial arts, why are you still unwilling to practice hard?"
Pei Nianyu felt bitter in his heart.
So, is this the truth from his Ye Feng?He is indeed not talented, he is indeed stupid.Before his Ye Feng said that he was not stupid and always comforted him.
…………
The sound of breaking wind.
"Third blow."
"Do you know what Li Han said about you before? What he said to his subordinates is that you are a waste of martial arts."
Pei Nianyu was ashamed and annoyed, he was really good, but...
Well, he's just badass and unwilling to practice.It's normal for Li Han to look down on him.
They are the best of the shadow guards... have their own pride.They are indeed qualified to look down on themselves, at least in terms of martial arts.
…………
The sound of breaking wind.
"Fourth blow."
"Master, you don't want shadow guards to follow, and you don't want to learn martial arts by yourself. If something happens to you, it will still be the responsibility of my shadow guard brothers. Master, have you really considered them at all?"
Pei Nianyu suddenly looked up——
So in Ye Feng's heart, he has always seen him like this?
He felt that he was good enough to the shadow guards, but he didn't really think about the shadow guards?
Hearing these words, Pei Nianyu's chest felt as if it had been filled with sour soup, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
…………
"Fifth blow."
Lou Yefeng's tone didn't change at all, and the strength of these five strokes of the thorn stick never weakened at all.
Pei Nianyu also thought that Lou Yefeng might be reluctant to give up three points, that maybe he would not dare to continue after hitting him twice, or that he felt pity and deliberately released the water.
However, he looked at the huge long and thick red swollen scar in the palm of his hand, which was caused by all the thorn sticks being drawn precisely at the same position...
I couldn't help being silent.
It hurts, it hurts.
However, the pain in the palm of his hand miraculously calmed his mind at this moment.
At the end of the five strokes, Pei Nianyu had already suppressed all the waves in his heart.He knew that no matter how weak and aggrieved his demeanor was, it would be useless to Lou Yefeng.
He, Lou Yefeng, is the coldest and hardest sword in the world, how could a sword soften in a confrontation?
He should have known.
However, at this moment, this cold and hard sword looked at his master's suddenly silent and indifferent eyes, in fact, he had already panicked.
The cold and hard blade was hidden in the scabbard, shaking quietly and non-stop.
"Master, you..."
Pei Nianyu didn't listen to him.Withdrawing his left hand, he picked up the folding fan with his right hand, and went to the open place by the lake with a light effort.
Flying body stretched out, the folding fan lightly opened.The starting gesture is as clear as the water.
The first time, failed, still stuck in the third action.
Lou Yefeng just wanted to go forward to give some advice, but when the master saw him coming, he ignored him and went to the other side of Calm Heart Lake when he mentioned lightness kung fu.
Lou Yefeng froze in place for a moment, not daring to go forward again.
After one failure, Pei Nianyu didn't stop, and then started again the second time, the third time, and the fourth time.
In this way, Pei Nianyu didn't know how many times he tried, dozens of times, or hundreds of times?
His fingers were finally able to complete the third movement.
Turn around and step sideways, closing the fan to block.
next move.
…………
The sun is rising gradually, and before noon is over, it slips to the west again unknowingly.
For five hours, Pei Nianyu didn't stop.
Fortunately, with the support of deep internal strength, Pei Nianyu didn't feel tired, nor did he feel hungry—you're almost full, okay?
During these five hours, Lou Yefeng also stood on the spot, watching his master clumsily fumble for moves one by one without moving.
From being in a hurry to focus on one thing and lose another, to being ineffective at the right time, to feeling better and better.Pei Nianyu didn't count by himself, but Lou Yefeng could count clearly, he had practiced no less than a thousand times.
Taking advantage of the last twilight of the setting sun before it sank into the western mountain, Pei Nianyu finally understood this pose according to the water.
Fly, fan open, turn around, close fan, block...
Finally, with a side step approaching, the fan front swept across.
In one form, it flows smoothly.
Pei Nianyu felt that it was almost time, so he stopped.
Lou Yefeng stepped forward and said softly:
"Congratulations, master, you have already mastered the first move. After that, you need to keep proficient, and the details should be more rounded and precise... that's it."
Pei Nianyu calmed down his inner strength, didn't look at him, and didn't speak.
Lou Yefeng looked at his master, sighed, and reached out to pick up the palm of his left hand:
"Master, go back and get some medicine..."
Pei Nianyu's sleeve robe trembled, and he threw Lou Yefeng away, turning his head aside:
"Why are you pretending to be distressed now? I haven't seen you showing any mercy before."
Lou Yefeng bowed his head and remained silent.He knew that this time he had really provoked the master, and the master's sarcastic remarks to him were nothing at all.
He didn't say anything more, just took a step back, knelt down, and then offered the thorn stick with both hands:
"The subordinates offended the master, please punish the master."
Pei Nianyu didn't even answer, his voice was polite and polite, and he said indifferently:
"Professor Lou abides by his duties, what is the crime?"
After all, Pei Nianyu turned around without hesitation, and went back to the bedroom with ease.
Lou Yefeng raised his head in astonishment, but only saw a figure in white fleeing quickly.
His heart was suddenly pulled by something, and he opened his mouth in panic, but he could only hear himself muttering to himself in the wind:
"Owner……"
