What About The Beautiful Lady?

It was a dreamless night. Early the next morning, Lu Ao woke up and very carefully, he placed Shao Qian down to the side. He wore his clothes quietly and just as he was about to leave, he looked at the sight of his beloved's sleeping figure and couldn't help but lower his head to plant a kiss on his forehead.

After realising what he had did, his face was instantly coloured red. With a somewhat guilty conscience, he looked at Shao Qian, whose eyes were still closed, before covertly leaving the room like a thief.

It wasn't long after he left when Shao Qian drowsily woke up. With his eyes still closed, he reached out and leaned towards that person. In the end however, he only felt the slightly warm bed.

After much struggling, Shao Qian managed to crack open one eye before he heard some faint sounds coming from outside. It was probably Lu Ao outside the room. The sun had barely even risen, why did he get up so early for?

Since he was already wake, he wouldn't be able to return back to sleep. Lifting up the blanket, he got off the bed, found Lu Ao's clean clothes and changed into them. After that, he opened the room door and stepped outside.

Upon opening the door, Shao Qian saw Lu Ao dreased in light and short clothes, wielding a meter-long 青锋 as he praticed the sword. As it was barely even dawn, he wasn't able to see too clearly. However, it was precisely due to this dim sight that allowed Shao Qian to feel the strength behind his gentleness. His sword-play was swift and fierce, yet graceful at the same time. The scene was really pleasing to the eyes.

Seeing Lu Ao practice the sword, Shao Qian felt an itch in his heart. Tying the bottom half of his gown around his waist, he picked a sword from the weapon rack beside him. Drawing a foil, he pointed it towards Lu Ao.

He wouldn't be able to use his soul power against this person. However, although the sword that he had once learnt in a small cultivation world couldn't be said to be one of the best, it was still well above average. Thus why, even if he couldn't unrestrainedly bring out his internal force, he would still be able to spar with Lu Ao using this skill.

Furthermore, when Lu Ao faced him, would he still be able to use his internal force? That was why Shao Qian was completely devoid of fear.

As Lu Ao practiced martial arts, it was extremely hard to conceal even the slightest bit of movement from his ears. The moment Shao Qian had opened the door, he had stopped his slashing, chopping and waving movements and instead started praticing his family's profound technique.

He merely intended to flaunt his skills in front of his beloved person, however, he had never expected that the said person would pick up a sword and point it at him.

Afraid of hurting his beloved, Lu Ao became overly catious, not daring to move. "Qing Xuan?"

"Don't use your internal force. You won't be able to hurt me." Shao Qian smiled lightly. "I haven't practiced the sword for quite a long time and may be rusty, so spar with me for a bit.

Once Lu Ao heard these words, he was naturally unable to oppose. However, at the beginning he didn't dare to make a large move. He was afraid that his sword may be without eyes and would hurt Qing Xuan by a hairbreadth.

Looking at his meticulous and careful behaviour, Shao Qian felt that it was somewhat funny. His own movements became even more swift and fierce though. Since you don't dare to act unrestrainedly, then I will make you unable to be catious about your actions.

At first, Lu Ao had wanted to accompany Qing Xuan in sparring and allow him to enjoy himself to his heart's content. Who would've known that he would be slowly pressured back by his beloved, only being able to retreat step by step. Lu Ao gradually became serious. He had previously underestimated Qing Xuan, his swordplay was exquisite. Right now, if the two of them were to fight with their lives on the line, it was likely that he would find it difficult to endure.

When Shao Qian saw Lu Ao start counterattacking, his movements became even more unrestrained. Originally, he assumed that he had already forgotten a large portion of this swordplay. Who knew that as his hand wielded the blade, the swordplay would spontaneously be put into good use. It was as if his mind had already forgotten, but his body had still firmly remembered it.

The two of them fought seriously without any restraints. Although there wasn't any usage of internal force, every one of their movements contained the intention to harm the other. Though, just as they would be about to hurt the other party, they would stop.

Even if it was in such manner, the two of them were still sweating profusely. Seeing that the sky was already bright, Shao Qian moved back and held his hand. "Call someone to send us some water to bathe in. After we finish breakfast, we can continue."

"'Kay." Lu Ao wiped his his sweaty forehead, grinning as he laughed. "Qing Xuan is really good at the sword. If you have internal force, it's likely that you could rise up to the very top." Listening to his tone, one could tell that he was filled with pride.

"It's no more than an exquisite swordplay. It's a pity that your internal force is of Yang and is unable to such swordplay. If that wasn't the case, then there would be no harm in teaching you." If the cultivation world's method was able to take hold of the martial world's method, wouldn't everyone be scrambling for it? In the end however, the system in this world was not the same. Even if the methods of cultivation had been circulated into this world, it would likely only be a fraction of its true power.

"I practice the Lu family's profound swordplay. This technique is mainly of the Yang affinity, totally swift and fierce. Upon cultivating it to the seventh stage, one will also be able to use sword energy to injure another. In the end however, there is still some harm to one's body." One year, a few people from the Lu family had finally practiced it go perfection, but in the end, they were not able to control the external sword energy and had harmed themselves.

At the moment, Shao Qian did not know how to release external sword energy. However, if he had the chance to study that swordplay, he could probably help to find the deficiency.

"The swordplay I practice emphasizes more on agility. If there is a female in the Lu family, she could probably learn it." What Shao Qian didn't say was that this technique was originally created by a woman. Although the swordplay looked light and graceful, it was a hidden killing machine. If one does not expect it, then they would lose their life.

"As luck would have had it, let Lu Ning Er learn it when she returns." Lu Ao threw the Qingfeng sword back into the weapon rack. "Looks like it isn't early anymore. Go back into the room first, I'll get someone to boil some hot water and bring it over."

"Okay." Shao Qian placed the sword in his hand aside and entered the room.

After Lu Ao confirmed that Shao Qian had entered the room, he turned around and exited the courtyard. Who knew that the moment he left, he would be met with the sight of the housekeeper standing by the door in a daze whilst holding some clothes. Stepping forward, he waved a hand in front of the housekeeper's face. "Fourth Uncle, what's this you're holding?"

"Young… Young Master." The housekeeper let go of the clothes he was holding and grabbed Lu Ao's hand instead. "You… The one you carried back was a man?"

"When have I ever said thag Qing Xuan was a woman?" Lu Ao didn't understand. "Furthermore, if there was a woman as tall as me… That would really be quite terrifying."

Lu Ao was eight chi tall (about 1.8m or so), and his height couldn't be considered as small. Seeing as Shao Qian was only shorter than him by a width of a finger, he couldn't possibly be mistaken as a female, right?

Furthermore, his Qing Xuan had been wearing men's clothing from the start. So how exactly did his Fourth Uncle mistake his Qing Xuan for a woman?

"Young Master, it was my mistake." The Fourth Uncle desired to cry, yet no tears came. In the letter that was sent yesterday, it seemed like there were the words, 'The lady is beautiful'? This was simply demanding for his old life.

This couldn't do. He has to hurry and send a letter to the Lord. If he didn't, then he might have sinned greatly.

With an indescribable face, Lu Ao watched as the housekeeper Fourth Uncle staggered away. Could it be that Fourth Uncle was sending Qing Xuan some clothes just now?

Picking up the clothes from the floor, he shook them out and took a look. This… Is this not a woman's dress?

Fortunately, the clothes hadn't been sent directly into Qing Xuan's hands. If not, then he would really be at a loss on how to explain it.

At this moment, the housekeeper had just finished writing the letter and was about to get someone to send it to the Lord and Lady. In the end, he hadn't even managed to call for anyone when a servant came forward to report to him. The Lord had already arrived at the compound's gate and it was estimated that he would arrive in the time needed to burn an incense stick.

The housekeeper hastily instructed them to wait outside and receive them. He also shoved the letter up into the hidden pocket in his sleeve.

Shao Qian, along with Lu Ao, had just finished washing up when they were informed of the Lord's return. Hearing this, Lu Ao's eyes brightened and he pulled Shao Qian along with him to walk. "Qing Xuan, I'll bring you to go see my parents."

Shao Qian followed behind Lu Ao. In his heart however, he was imagining the reaction the Lord and Lady of the Lu family would have. They probably wouldn't accept their child going astray with a man though.

The moment Lord and Lady Lu set foot into the conpound, they immediately headed over to where Lu Ao was. On their way there, the housekeeper had tried speaking countless of times but would always be interrupted by Lu Ning Er's continous questions.

In the end, when they met up with Shao Qian and Lu Ao, the housekeeper still hasn't been able to clearly state that the 'lady' was in fact a man.

"Father. Mother. Little Sister." Lu Ao grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.

"My son, that lady…" In an instant, Lady Lu's original image of arrogance and spite changed, her words coming out soft and amiable.

"Mother, are you ill?" Unfortunately, the one facing her was as dense as a brick. "If you're ill then go see the doctor. I don't know why, but when I heard you say those words, your son felt the hair on his body stand up."

The smile on Lady Lu's face stiffened and the blue vein on her forehead throbbed. However, upon remembering that she wanted to leave a good impression on her future daughter-in-law, she suppressed the burning anger in her heart. "This mother hasn't seen my son for so long. I really missed you."

"Mother, we just saw each other three days ago." Lu Ao revealed a helpless expression on his face. "You really aren't ill?"

If Lady Lu kept enduring, then she wouldn't be known as the tyrant of the Lu family. Her feet flashed and she arrived next to Lu Ao in an instant. Raising her hand, she swung it towards that brainless person's head.

Lu Ao wouldn't stand still and wait to get hit though. He scuttled away from Lady Lu's palm. "Mother, you should vent your anger on my father when you're irritated."

Therefore, on ordinary days, Lord Lu had this kind of usage as well?

"Milady." As for the housekeeper, it could be seen as an opportunity to speak. "Have you not notice the Gongzi following behind the young master?"

Hearing the housekeeper say these words, the trio from the Lu family finally noticed that a good-looking Gongzi was standing behind the brainless blockhead.

"This is?" Lord Lu observed the Gongzi. How could he not recognise that the clothes this person was wearing were that of his stupid son?

However, he knew all of the talented youths that his son had befriended from various families. Yet this person looked really unfamiliar. Could it be that he was a youth of a hidden family?

"Father, this is the person I set my mind on." Even when Lu Ao was being chased and beaten by Lady Lu, he still didn't forget to find some time to answer with this single sentence.

However, the destructive power contained within those words was too much. In the letter that the housekeeper had sent at that time, it had clearly stated that 'The lady is beautiful'. Yet, when they returned in the end, she changed into a Gongzi? This… What exactly happened?
