207 She’s Not the Person I Love
In the afternoon, Bai Wutong continued to practice her qinggong. She could now move nimbly on the wooden stakes.
Qingfeng held a wooden stick and said in a suave manner, “If you can dodge the wooden stick in my hand ten times today, the wooden stake will be replaced.”
Bai Wutong had no objections to Qingfeng’s training methods.
They stood facing each other on the wooden stake, and Qingfeng attacked decisively.
The wooden stick carried the wind along with its movements and hit Bai Wutong’s stomach directly.
Lin Yue did not expect her to be so ruthless right from the get go. He carried Stinky and subconsciously shouted out, “Be careful!”
Although Bai Wutong had only started practicing her qinggong not long ago, she had lived in the apocalypse for three years. Her agility far exceeded that of ordinary people. Now, she had even learned to use her internal energy. When Qingfeng’s wooden stick landed, she flew to another wooden stake.
Bai Wutong easily dodged it, and Lin Yue could finally relax.
He could not help but exclaim. Previously, Bai Wutong could not even stand steadily on a wooden stake. Now, she could even avoid Qingfeng’s strike. Her improvement was really rapid.
However, Bai Wutong knew that Qingfeng had only used 20% of her strength.
If she really wanted to, she could beat her easily with a stick.
Bai Wutong did not dare to underestimate her enemy at all.
As expected, the stick just now was just a warm-up for her. In the next second, the stick fell one after another in dazzling strikes.
Gritting her teeth, Bai Wutong quickly dodged. Before she could catch her breath, Qingfeng’s stick aimed towards her head again.
In the nick of time, Bai Wutong grabbed the stick.
She had wanted to use the momentum to jump onto another wooden stake.
Qingfeng’s gaze was like a torch as she exerted strength in her wrist. The stick she held flicked Bai Wutong’s hand away like static electricity and aimed for her neck again.
Bai Wutong bent down and propped herself with her limbs on different wooden stakes.
In the next second, Qingfeng’s stick came down hard on her stomach again.
The air seemed to have been split open by her ruthlessness.
Lin Yue was dumbfounded. Qingfeng was too ruthless.
If Chu Tianbao saw this, he would definitely fight her to the death.
Bai Wutong watched the stick fall, but it was too late to get up.
She pressed her legs against the wooden stake and barely avoided Qingfeng’s last strike.
However, after ten strikes, she was already sweating profusely. Her back was soaked.
Qingfeng put away her stick, and a satisfied expression finally appeared on her cold face. “Very good. You can change to another wooden stake and continue practicing now.”
Bai Wutong was very happy. “Okay.”
Although Qingfeng had gone easy on her, it was still not easy.
Lin Yue exclaimed, “Madam, do you have to fight so hard? Master Chu is so powerful. Even if you don’t know martial arts, he can still protect you very well.”
Bai Wutong took a sip of tea and wiped her sweat with a towel. “Then I’ll cripple your martial arts and let Qingfeng protect you, okay?” she teased.
Lin Yue’s face suddenly turned red. “I don’t want to! It’s more like it for a man like me to protect her.”
The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth curled up. “There you go, then. Like you, I want to use my abilities to protect the people I love.”
Lin Yue stole a glance at Qingfeng, whose back was facing them. He jumped up as if he was a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He stammered in denial, “She, she’s not the person I love.”
The smile in Bai Wutong’s eyes deepened as she glanced at Qingfeng. “I was just giving an example,” she said apologetically. “I wasn’t talking about you.”
Suddenly, Qingfeng walked away. Lin Yue’s heart skipped a beat. Could she be angry after hearing what he said?
Bai Wutong could tell that something was wrong with his expression. His eyes were glued to Qingfeng’s back. If not for the fact that Stinky was still in his arms, he would have chased after her.
She reached out and said to Lin Yue, “Give me Stinky.”
Lin Yue did not think too much about it and gave Stinky to her.
Bai Wutong found an excuse for him. “I think Qingfeng seems a little unhappy today. Do you want to check on her?”
Lin Yue’s face lit up. “Alright, I’ll help Madam ask now.” He specially emphasized that he would help her ask.
Then, Lin Yue chased after Qingfeng. The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth curled up. She had given Lin Yue a chance. Whether he could succeed or not depended on himself.
Stinky arched in her arms. “Mummy, Daddy…”
Usually, it was either Chu Tianbao or Sheng Huaixuan who brought him along. Now that his two fathers were gone, Stinky could only play with Xiaobai. He was very lonely.
Bai Wutong rubbed his fair, chubby face. “Your daddies will be back soon. Be good, okay? Mummy will take you to see the bunnies, your father’s favorite bunny.”
Stinky’s eyes lit up. “Kill bunny, roast bunny, eat bunny.”
The order was quite complete. He had clearly arranged everything for bunny.
Needless to say, Chu Tianbao must have taught him.
Thinking of Chu Tianbao, the smile in her eyes deepened. “Alright, then we’ll eat roasted rabbit tonight.”
Qingfeng walked too quickly for Lin Yue to catch up.
Panting, he complained, “Why are you walking so fast?”
Qingfeng glanced back at him. “I have to set up wooden stakes for Madam.”
Lin Yue wanted to ask if she had heard what he had just said, but he felt guilty and did not dare to ask. “I’ll go with you.”
“No need.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few dark guards jumped down from the tree.
...
Their martial arts were stronger than Lin Yue’s, and their appearances were passable. When Lin Yue saw them standing between him and Qingfeng, his eyes gradually revealed disappointment.
Qingfeng looked at him quietly, her gaze as cold as ever, as if nothing could stir her up.
Qingfeng said, “If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first.”
Suddenly, the silent Lin Yue grabbed her wrist and shouted fiercely, as if he was looking for trouble with Qingfeng, “I have something!”
Qingfeng’s cold gaze wavered.
The dark guards finally realized that there seemed to be something unusual between their commander and Guard Lin.
Qingfeng waved her hand, and the dark guards instantly disappeared.
The surroundings fell silent. Only the sound of their breathing and Lin Yue’s nervous heartbeat could be heard.
Meeting Qingfeng’s eyes, Lin Yue suddenly froze. His face was as red as a cooked prawn, and steam was rising from the top of his head.
Qingfeng still looked calm and collected.
“You’re not speaking?”
...
It was as if she did not have the patience to wait anymore if Lin Yue did not speak.
Lin Yue panicked and blurted out, “What I just said isn’t true.”
After he finished speaking, the weight in his heart lifted. Then, it started thumping like the drums again. He did not dare to look at Qingfeng as he quietly waited for Qingfeng to respond.
Time passed. The air seemed to stop.
Lin Yue’s heart was pounding, but he only heard a simple sentence from Qingfeng. “What did you say just now?”
Lin Yue was stunned. He looked up at Qingfeng suspiciously. Could it be that she really didn’t hear his conversation with Bai Wutong?
No way. Qingfeng’s ears were usually no different from a dog’s!
Qingfeng looked at him and asked again, “What are you trying to say?”
Her eyes were straightforward. She didn’t seem to be pretending.
But he didn’t notice the slight smile that flashed across Qingfeng’s lips.
Lin Yue took it seriously. His heart was pounding like thunder. He stammered but could not say a word.
How could he say such things!
What if he was rejected!
