To die in silence or to explode in silence; Lady Liu, who didn’t want to die, of course chose to explode. Upon seeing Shangguan’s clumsy gestures, she couldn’t help but speak out in mockery.
Sisi’s face darkened. Initially, she thought Lady Liu had changed her temperament since she was quiet, but it turned out she still had such a stupid character. It really is true that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
Li Junji also heard his companion’s sarcastic comment and smiled apologetically at Sisi. Just as he was about to scold Lady Liu, Shangguan’s expression turned cold, and her knife flew towards Lady Liu. A streak of cold light passed, and the sharp knife with a ’thud’ landed on the table in front of Lady Liu, or rather, it should be said it landed on Lady Liu’s hand.
Lady Liu didn’t even have the time to scream. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Li Junji and Qiao Xingbang were also shocked; they hadn’t expected Shangguan to act on her words so swiftly—her way of initiating action was definitely not normal— but damn, it satisfies them to the core!
Especially that momentum Shangguan had when she threw the knife, it was freaking cool!
Li Junji turned to check on Lady Liu’s hand. Although he didn’t Miss Liu, since he had brought her along, and now that her hand had been pierced, he had to think about how to deal with the Liu Family later. But forget it, he didn’t want to think too much. Anyway, he would probably just have to compensate with money. The Liu family is famously greedy.
Huh? Why isn’t there any blood?
Li Junji was puzzled. After a long look, he saw the trick—Shangguan had inserted the knife into the gap between Lady Liu’s middle and index fingers, cleverly close to the fingers. A millimeter’s deviation could have pierced her fingers.
Little Li’s Flying Knife indeed!
Li Junji’s eyes sparkled as he watched Shangguan. He was a huge fan of Gu Long; his martial arts novels were his favorites, especially the charming and romantic Xiang Shuai and Li Xunhuan’s mystical Flying Knife Skill.
Qiao Xingbang also realized something was off. Although he wasn’t a fan of flying knives, he always admired those with high martial skills. Within the gang, he respected Brother Li the most because he was the toughest fighter.
"Miss Shangguan’s flying knife skills are really formidable, is it a family heritage?" Since Lady Liu wasn’t injured, Li Junji wasn’t worried about her anymore and enthusiastically asked Shangguan.
"Just playing around!"
Shangguan couldn’t be bothered using a knife to cut her steak anymore, and simply used a fork to pick up a whole piece of steak, biting into it directly. In no time, the piece of steak was devoured.
"Waiter, bring six more steaks, medium-well." Sisi knew Shangguan’s appetite and immediately called the waiter to order more food.
Shangguan smiled broadly. Seeing the untouched steak in front of the unconscious Lady Liu, she easily took it, kindly explaining, "Wasting it is not good!"
Her frankness made Li Junji and other restaurant guests laugh. Her flying knife skills had indeed been an eye-opener for many, giving them a favorable impression of Shangguan.
"If Miss Shangguan likes eating, have more, I haven’t touched this piece yet; why don’t you eat it first?"
Shangguan promptly forked the steak in front of Li Junji and bit into one piece after another, cheerfully enjoying her meal.
At this moment, Li Junji’s passion for flying knives had surpassed his interest in flirting. He thought about pleasing Shangguan and learning that cool Flying Knife Skill. Later, he could show it off outdoors, how thrilling that would be!
Coincidentally, he also had the surname Li. In the future, there would be the real Little Li’s Flying Knife appearing in Hong Kong, and it would be him, the Sixth Young Master of Li Family!
Lost in his daydreams, Li Junji couldn’t help but laugh out loud, drawing weird glances from everyone. Maybe they thought he had skipped his medicine this morning and went out?
The six steaks arrived quickly, and Shangguan was very happy, continuing her steak-stabbing venture. Qiao Xingbang watched as she consumed one steak after another, his heart skipping a beat. This beautiful lady didn’t look fat, but how could she eat so much? A single meal might consume half his spending money!
Maybe he should chase the shorter one? The short one didn’t seem to eat as much and wasn’t as fierce as the taller one. Qiao Xingbang was internally conflicted, weighing his options.
"Miss Shangguan, can I call you Feifei too? What do you think?" Li Junji said sheepishly, hoping to get closer to Shangguan.
"Sure." Shangguan glanced at Li Junji and thought he was not bad since he let her have all the meat.
Li Junji said cheerfully, "Feifei, can I learn the flying knife skill from you?"
Sisi suddenly realized, no wonder he was being so attentive, so he wanted to become a disciple?
Shangguan thought seriously for a moment and said to Li Junji, "My flying knife skill isn’t great, hers is better."
While speaking, Shangguan pointed to Zhang Jie, who was cutting steak with a knife. The mentioned Zhang Jie looked up at Li Junji, quickly glanced at him, and made Li Junji’s skin crawl, realizing that both of He Sisi’s friends were martial arts experts!
But, he really liked that!
"Is Zhang Jie a flying knife expert too? Is she even better than Feifei?"
At that moment, Li Junji seemed much cuter, not like before where although he was polite, he seemed too distant, as if separated by a veiled layer. Now, Sixth Young Master Li felt much more real.
"Yes, Zhang Jie’s specialty is the flying knife."
Sisi answered for Zhang Jie, as she only got close to Zhang Jie later and learned that Zhang Jie’s specialty was the flying knife. As a child, others played with dolls, but this girl played with flying knives. She had personally seen Zhang Jie shoot a spider a hundred meters away with a flying knife.
Li Junji wanted to ask Zhang Jie to demonstrate the flying knife, but was too embarrassed to speak up. Zhang Jie saw his troubled expression and couldn’t help but laugh. Just then, Lady Liu ’cried out’ softly, blinked her eyes, and stood up.
Zhang Jie casually threw a knife, and a streak of cold light flashed by, barely scraping past Lady Liu’s neck. The unfortunate Lady Liu had just woken up only to faint again.
Li Junji happily went to retrieve the treasure; the flying knife was stuck in the seat, a tassel earring dangling from its tip, while Lady Liu’s right ear was left bare, as she was wearing long tassel earrings today.
"Wow, Zhang Jie, you’re so incredible! You just sliced her earring right by her ear!"
Li Junji forcefully pulled out the knife, and carelessly tossed the broken part of the earring away; it wasn’t something valuable anyway.
Zhang Jie smiled proudly, and continued cutting her steak. The other diners in the restaurant were also drawn by the two beauties and their flying knife skills.
The restaurant manager trembled with distress; His wooden tables and chairs! Yet he didn’t dare ask the Second Young Master of Qiao Family for money, a fearsome and intimidating figure!
"Zhang Jie, do you think I could learn the flying knife? I don’t need to be very skilled, just half as good as you would be okay!" Li Junji asked excitedly.
Zhang Jie snorted, "Half of my skill? Do you know at what age I started practicing the flying knife?"
Li Suoji shook his head, and Zhang Jie held up three fingers, he exclaimed, "Three years old?"
Zhang Jie nodded, "I started training my wrist and visual strength at three years old, it’s been seventeen years now, and I dare not say I’ve mastered it. You’ve passed the best age to start practicing, it’s not likely you could achieve half of my skill."
Li Junji’s face fell immediately, his dream of mastering Little Li’s Flying Knife seemed to have ended before it even began!
"However, if you are willing to work hard, exert several times more effort than others, it’s not impossible to achieve, after all, it’s all up to the person!" Zhang Jie patted his shoulder, comforting him.
Li Junji’s face brightened again, resolutely declaring, "I will definitely work hard. As long as I can master the Flying Knife Skill, I’m willing to endure any hardship."
