When Ye Jingtang saw Zhe Yunli from afar, he was surprised and asked, “Yunli, why are you standing here?”

“Chirp-” The bird hurriedly flew over and threw the small fish into Zhe Yunli’s hand.

Zhe Yunli raised her hand to catch the bird. When she saw Ye Jingtang coming over, she didn’t smile. Instead, she tilted her head resentfully. “Hmph~! You didn’t come see me for days after coming back, but you’re thinking about me now?”

??

Ye Jingtang was speechless. He led his horse to the front. “You’re speaking so properly. It’s giving me goosebumps. Why are you unhappy? Did your martial mistress teach you a lesson?”

Zhe Yunli stood up straight and walked back together with him. ‘Martial Mistress is busy tidying up your new residence. How can she be in the mood to care about me? Speaking of which, we’ve known each other for such a long time. In the past, 1 helped you tidy up your house every day. Even if I didn’t contribute, I worked hard. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten what day it is today?”

When Ye Jingtang returned, Ning’er had told him. He smiled and said, “Today is your sixteenth birthday. How could 1 forget such an important thing? I was supposed to stay in the palace for night duty, but I specially asked for leave to come back for dinner. Aren’t I nice?”

“Chirp-” The bird placed the small fish in Zhe Yunli’s hand again as a birthday gift-

only then did Zhe Yunli smile. She hugged the bird and bumped Ye Jingtang with her shoulder. “That’s more like it. When are you celebrating your nineteenth birthday? 1’11 prepare a gift for you in advance.”

When Ye Jingtang saw Zhe Yunli’s expectant look, he knew what she meant. He said with a smile, “After the Lunar New Year, I’ll be one year older. By the way, I brought you something good when I came back.”

“Really? It can’t be this fish, right?”

“How is that possible? That’s the bird’s gift. It wants you to cook it for it to eat H

While chatting, Ye Jingtang entered from the back door. He handed the horse reins to a maidservant and went to the west wing of Third Lady’s courtyard with Zhe Yunli.

The west wing was Ning’er’s temporary room. Many of her belongings were placed there.

Ye Jingtang went to the table and took out a five-foot-long saber wrapped in black cloth. He held it flat with both hands and handed it to Little Yunli. “This saber is called ‘Muqing’. It’s a saber forged by Sun Muqing, a saberman from Ze Province, forty years ago. It’s five feet long, and it’s both a saber and a spear. When used, it’s fast, fierce, and shockingly powerful. No one has used this saber before. From now on, this saber is yours.”

Zhe Yunli was indeed surprised. She took the five-foot-long Muqing Saber with both hands and sized it up. “This saber… Brother Jingtang, didn’t you say on Jun Mountain Terrace that ordinary people can’t use it well, and people who can use it well no longer need it?”

Ye Jingtang put one hand behind his back and explained seriously, “Ordinary people can’t use it well because this saber is too comprehensive. There are too many skills to practice, and it’s extremely difficult to master. And those who can use it well don’t need it because the saber’s shape is special. If they can practice this saber to the peak, they will basically be able to master heavy sabers, light sabers, fast attacks, slow attacks, and spearmanship. They will be able to switch to appropriate weapons according to the enemy and unleash greater power.

“This doesn’t mean that this saber is useless, but that the lower limit is extremely high and the upper limit is lacking. You have to at least practice it to the level of Hero Qiu to be able to sense the shortcomings of this saber. Before this, it’s all advantages and no flaws. If I hadn’t already become the Saber Chief, I would definitely have used this saber. This way, when I go out, I wouldn’t have to bring a bunch of weapons to use interchangeably.”

“Oh…” Realization dawned on Zhe Yunli. She untied the black cloth and looked at the long and slender saber with a wooden yellow scabbard. Then she raised it upright and tried wielding it. When she found that it was taller than her, her smooth and moist face showed a troubled expression. “It’s so long. How can I pull it out?”

Ye Jingtang chuckled. “Since 1 gave you the saber, how can 1 not teach you to use it? On the way back, 1 took the time to think of a saber technique. You can try practicing it…”

“You took the time to think about it?”

“It spent an entire night figuring it out. Don’t think I’m being perfunctory.”

Zhe Yunli wanted to say something but hesitated. But on account of the title Saber Chief, she still put on a serious expression.

Ye Jingtang held the five-foot-long saber in his left hand. He bent his body slightly and touched the floor with the scabbard as he explained, “You can’t hang this saber on your body at all times. Otherwise, it will be awkward to pull it out no matter how you do it. Therefore, you have to hold it in your hand or carry it on your shoulder. When experts exchange blows, it’s a cover. If you encounter an enemy, just pull out the saber with your left hand and rush forward without caring about the scabbard. Cut horizontally with the saber and then use the Azure Dragon Claw. If you miss, follow up with the third move of the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade and then switch to the Yellow Dragon Crouching midway.

“With these three strikes, you will basically kill anyone of the same level. It’s faster than the Dragon Slaying Decree and heavier and longer than the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade. It has fierce momentum, but you can release and retract it freely. As long as it doesn’t encounter long-range weapons, not many people can break it…”

Zhe Yunli looked at Ye Jingtang slowly demonstrating, her eyes half-doubting. “With such random moves, won’t your qi go haywire?”

Ye Jingtang stood still with the long saber and said seriously, “A person only has two hands and two feet. You can find similar movements with any move. I’m only telling you the general movements. In fact, it’s a new saber technique. The qi circulation methods form a new style, and the strength of the moves is very different. It’s completely different from the martial arts moves I mentioned.”

“Oh…” Zhe Yunli nodded. “This saber technique is unique. Only Brother Jingtang knows it, right?”

“I don’t use Muqing Saber either, so this is your unique saber technique. Are you satisfied with this gift?”

Zhe Yunli really didn’t expect Ye Jingtang to do so much for her. She was a little embarrassed. Perhaps she was afraid that someone would secretly learn the technique, so she ran to close the door and stood in the room to wait and see.

Over the past two days, Ye Jingtang had learned the General Movements Manual. He was already very proficient with how to break down moves and teach people.. He immediately demonstrated his self-created moves in the room…
