Gu Shengyin slowly cald her breathing.
This body had been resting for such a long ti that it suddenly found it hard to adapt to the exertion.
Gu Shengyin looked at him: "Do you want to learn?"
How could he not want to?
Shih Lei nodded repeatedly, Ah Luan had such a small stature, yet always left him defenseless; while he had brute strength, it was useless against Ah Luan.
If you can’t hit anyone, no matter how strong you are, it’s pointless, right?
"Then I can teach you," Gu Shengyin readily agreed.
In her heart, there was nothing she couldn’t share with the person before her.
Shih Lei, however, hesitated: "I’ve heard that martial arts, like knowledge, can’t be passed on to outsiders."
Gu Shengyin glanced at him, thinking he was really too honest.
She calmly said, "Not passing to outsiders, you are not an outsider."
Shih Lei blushed again because of her words.
Ah Luan said he wasn’t an outsider, does that an she also...?
Stop!
He forced himself to calm down: Shih Lei, don’t overthink it, that’s sothing that will never belong to you.
With no expectation, there will be no disappointnt.
To Gu Shengyin’s surprise, when she proposed to hunt with Shih Lei, he didn’t oppose her but simply nodded in agreent.
She felt odd, in more than a month together, she beca certain that he cared a lot about her.
But since he cared about her, why was he assured enough to let her follow him in such a dangerous hunt?
Shih Lei’s answer was simple: "I’ve been hunting in these woods since I was a child and am very familiar with them; there are no fierce beasts. Usually, I handle it alone, Ah Luan you’re so skilled, how could anything happen?"
Turns out he was so confident in her abilities.
The next day, Gu Shengyin had a dagger strapped to her waist, and carried a bow and arrows on her back, as she set out with Shih Lei.
The villagers saw them, especially surprised at Gu Shengyin’s attire.
So even asked them directly.
Upon hearing that Gu Shengyin was going hunting, several people laughed aloud.
Auntie Zhou shouted loudly, "Hunting has always been a man’s job; what’s a woman like you getting involved for? And you’re such a delicate girl, what can you do? By then Shih Lei will have to divide his attention to care for you, what are you thinking..."
She didn’t finish her words because Gu Shengyin gave her a look.
Auntie Zhou felt as if her throat was suddenly caught by sothing, and couldn’t say a word.
Clearly such a delicate girl, without an intimidating expression, just that calm look, and Auntie Zhou felt as if she suddenly fell into the ice cave of a severe winter.
She looked up at the sun above, perhaps today the sun was too hot, leading her to hallucinate?
Gu Shengyin understood why A Xiu disliked Auntie Zhou so much, such a mouth was really unpleasant.
Seeing that Auntie Zhou had shut her mouth, Gu Shengyin nodded with satisfaction and said, "I’ve never heard of any law stating won can’t hunt. Nor any law saying that won require n to protect them."
The surrounding villagers, watching the scene, shut their mouths one by one and silently watched as the two walked into the dense forest beyond the village.
