During the swordsmanship class, Xu Huiya went to her dance, and Tang Zhenzhen followed Xu Chang to practice her sword dance.
She had already practiced the beginning of the Cloud-Opening Style and was already familiar with the few movements.
However, the Headmaster had taught her the sixth move of the Eighteen Moves of Cloud Enlightenment, so she was busy embroidering the peony painting and could only learn it carelessly.
The sound of Zhao Lei practicing his swordsmanship at the side pierced through the air and fell into her ears clearly.
Tang Zhenzhen looked over. He had practiced the sixth move very well. He stood up and held the sword without any hesitation. A pile of snow fell from the tree branch where the sword peak pointed.
This was a sword made of wood. If it was a real sword, the tree would probably be broken.
Tang Zhenzhen put down her sword dejectedly. With her swordsmanship, she would probably become a laughing stock at the banquet. That would really lose the face of General Manor.
Xu Chang saw that she had stopped practicing her swordsmanship and walked to her side to ask,""Zhenzhen, why aren't you practicing anymore?"
"Without a quick method, it's impossible to master it in half a month.”She looked up in disappointment. How could she have mastered it in such a short time? Looking at the sword in her hand, she hammered it a few times in frustration.
Xu Chang was about to comfort her when the Headmaster saw her from the side and interrupted," There's no quick way, but if you don't practice, you'll never be able to master the sixth move.”
The sixth and eighteenth stances were the most difficult among the eighteen stances of Cloud Enlightenment. It would be much easier to master the seventeen stances after the sixth stance. On the other hand, if one couldn't master it, they wouldn't be able to master the rest of the stances.
Tang Zhenzhen held the green sword tightly in her hand, leaving a few pale sword marks on her palm. She bit her lower lip and nodded heavily."I'll practice!"
She was the general's daughter. How could she be scared by such a small difficulty? As long as she practiced diligently, she would not be afraid of making a fool of herself.
Tang Zhenzhen held her sword and drew a beautiful sword flower in the air. Her expression was so focused that she could not tolerate anything else.
The Headmaster watched her practice with satisfaction and gave her pointers from time to time.
She was also very diligent in learning and was familiar with a few moves. When it was the sixth move of the Cloud Enlightenment Style, Tang Zhenzhen raised her wrist and got up to ride the sword. Unexpectedly, her hand sank and the sword fell from her hand.
The sword fell to the ground and shook a few times before returning to normal.
Tang Zhenzhen picked up her sword again and drew a sword flower. There was no sound where the sword peak pointed. She did not give up and tried a few times. Without exception, the sword fell from her hand. She could not practice the sixth move no matter what.
Tang Zhenzhen bit her red lips. Her palms were sweaty and her fingertips were trembling. She squatted down and could not pick up her sword.
Xu Chang called her worriedly," We'll practice another day."”The winter wind blew a chill. She wiped the wet hair on her forehead and shook her head firmly."No."
Tang Zhenzhen wanted to pick up the sword on the ground, but she had no strength in her hand.
She looked at the Headmaster, thought for a moment, and walked toward him. She said humbly and sincerely,""Teacher, please guide me."
He looked at the huge sword practice field and said after a long time,""Meet me at the school gate at midnight tonight.”
Tang Zhenzhen's eyes lit up. She bowed to him gratefully and agreed.
Zi Shi referred to the time between 11 am and 1 am.
Tang Zhenzhen didn't sleep the night she went to see him. She had been lying in front of the desk looking at the bronze kettle that symbolized time. A drop of water fell, and the water level dropped. The wood floating on it also dropped. It was almost 11 o'clock.
Tang Zhenzhen immediately raised her head, got up, and walked out of the general's manor. The old butler rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at her in confusion.
He didn't know what was going on today, but the general, who usually didn't allow girls to leave the manor at night, had asked him to open the door for the young miss at night.
The door opened and Tang Zhenzhen stepped out. The night sky was pitch-black, with only a few scattered stars shining faintly.
The winter night was exceptionally quiet. There were no cicadas or insects chirping. It was so quiet that only the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Tang Zhenzhen tightened her snow-white fox fur coat and quickened her pace toward the school.
When she arrived at the school gate, the teacher had not arrived yet. She waited for an hour in the dark night and the cold wind.
Tang Zhenzhen was shivering from the cold. She put her red hand to her mouth, blew on it, rubbed it, and stomped her feet.
Looking into the distance, there was only a night watchman shouting that it was past midnight.
Tang Zhenzhen crouched down and curled up, wondering if the Headmaster had forgotten. She kept staring into the distance, but the Headmaster's purple robe was nowhere to be seen.
The winter night was really cold, and the wind was bone-chilling.
Tang Zhenzhen was half-leaning against the door of the school. She was so cold that she was in high spirits. She counted the stars in boredom, but she got them all wrong.
She exhaled and turned into a wisp of white smoke in the cold wind. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the air and was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Zhenzhen couldn't wait any longer. Seeing the night watchman wandering in the distance, she stood up and ran forward to ask,""Big brother, it's already past midnight.”
The night watchman yawned lazily and glanced at her." Not yet, but soon."”
She was almost there. Whatever, she should go back to the residence. It seemed that the Headmaster wouldn't come.
Tang Zhenzhen walked toward the General's Mansion without looking back. The moment she took a step forward, a purple figure walked out of the shadows and shook his head at her back.
Tang Zhenzhen didn't see him and thought that he stood her up. She was still angry until the next morning when she woke up and wanted to ask the Headmaster about it. However, she sneezed as soon as she woke up.
He must have worn too little last night. He had waited for so long, but the Headmaster still hadn't appeared.
Thinking of this, she became even angrier at the Headmaster. He looked well-dressed and dignified, but he was actually a despicable person.
Tang Zhenzhen put on a thick orange-red coat and arrived at the school early. Before she could go to the Headmaster, the Headmaster called her over.
"See you outside the school tonight at midnight." After saying this, he flung his sleeves and left without waiting for her to speak.
Tang Zhenzhen looked at his back in confusion. She went to ask Xu Chang, but he said that the Headmaster was teaching her and she had to wait for a few hours.
At night, Tang Zhenzhen followed Xu Chang's instructions and waited from eleven o'clock until one o'clock.
At this moment, she was dressed very warmly, so she did not feel very cold standing outside the school.
Tang Zhenzhen was still looking ahead, but the Headmaster was still nowhere to be seen.
When it was almost midnight, a man slowly walked out from a place where the candlelight could not reach. Tang Zhenzhen went up to him and could not help but call out when she saw his face,"Headmaster."
He was finally here. Tang Zhenzhen was so excited that she almost cried.
"This is the first lesson I'll teach you. Learn to be patient and careful.”The moonlight was very bright tonight. The gentle moonlight shone on his face, so Tang Zhenzhen saw that his gaze was so focused and serious.
"Patience and attentiveness." Tang Zhenzhen seemed to understand. She waited for the teacher until the appointed time because she was patient. It was too cold last night and she was wearing a lot tonight, so she should be more careful.
"It's not only how a person should be like this, but also how one should practice the sword.”The Headmaster raised a silver-green sword and handed it to Tang Zhenzhen.
"Hold it tightly and practice the Six Cloud Initiating Stances for me.”
Tang Zhenzhen took the sword and pulled it out with one hand. It was a real sword. Its entire body glowed with a silvery-white luster under the moonlight. There were clear cloud patterns carved on the sword, which were exquisite and exquisite. Tang Zhenzhen touched the sword excitedly. Her hand felt a little cold. If she used a little more strength, she might have cut a wound where she touched it. It was really a good sword that was hard to find.
She drew a silver-white sword, making a unique sound in the silent night.
"Don't do anything useless.”The Headmaster frowned." My sword is not for you to play with.”
Tang Zhenzhen hurriedly practiced the beginning of the Cloud Enlightenment Stance until the sixth movement, but she had to stop at this joint.
She patiently practiced from the fifth move, slowing down every movement. When she reached the sixth move, she also tried her best to complete the first movement. At the end of the sixth move, she quickly pointed the tip of her sword, and the place she pointed at made a sound like it was breaking through the air.
The Headmaster obviously didn't expect her to have practiced the sixth move. Before he could say no, Tang Zhenzhen had already pointed out.
He looked in the direction the sword was pointing at. Fortunately, it was an empty street. The sword only made a sound when it pointed at it.
The Headmaster heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had chosen to go outside the school, so there was nothing around. Otherwise, who knew how many innocent plants would have been destroyed by the sword.
Tang Zhenzhen didn't think too much about it. She was overjoyed and hugged her sword happily. He almost knelt down in front of the Headmaster, tears and snot running down his face.
She had practiced it many times, but she had finally mastered it.
"Don't forget, Zhao Lei has already practiced this move.”The Headmaster reminded her with a rare smile, and then said to her seriously,""If you embarrass me at the banquet, I, Gu Mingyue, will no longer acknowledge you as my disciple.”
Tang Zhenzhen hugged her sword and nodded. Gu Mingyue reached out her hand to him.
No way, he was so stingy. She hadn't even warmed up that area.
Tang Zhenzhen reluctantly gave him the sword.
"Tomorrow, wait for me here at midnight." Gu Mingyue took the sword and said with her back facing her. With that, he disappeared into the endless night.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:23AM
