Chapter 445 - 161: Hermit in the Wild
Yueyao spent every day practicing standing post and martial arts, practicing calligraphy, and painting. Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, she had stayed in Ma’s Mansion for two months.
During this period, Yueyao finally mastered the eighty-one forms of the martial art. However, Bai Yi said that Yueyao did not grasp the essence, but was only a "flower frame."
Yueyao did not care that Bai Yi said her moves were soft and lacked force. Learning martial arts, like painting, requires talent. She did not have this talent and only learned to protect herself. According to Bai Yi, her skills were barely enough for self-protection.
After Yueyao had learned the set of punches, Bai Yi came to take his leave, "Miss, I should return to my residence."
Yueyao felt a bit reluctant to part, but there’s no feast that doesn’t end, and Bai Yi was from Marquis Jingning’s Residence. He would have to go back one day if not now.
Bai Yi thought highly of Yueyao. Upon leaving, he said, "Miss, as long as you keep practicing this set of punches, you will be able to take down two or three grown men in the future." Bai Yi had Yueyao bind her hands also to increase her hand strength, and the set of punches he taught had this effect as well.
Yueyao’s face lit up with joy as she nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I will persist."
Yueyao saw Bai Yi off to the main entrance.
When Bai Yi returned to Marquis Jingning’s Residence, the first person he saw was Madam Ping. Bai Yi told Madam Ping everything that had happened over the past month. After he finished speaking, he said, "Miss Lian is steadfast and has unique insights into many things. She is not impetuous, and her interests are stable. Having her around will be greatly beneficial for Madam’s young lady." Princely Heir Luo Shao did not allow Mingzhu to go out, so Luo Mingzhu had stayed in Marquis Jingning’s Residence during this time.
Madam Ping already liked Yueyao, and after hearing Bai Yi’s words, she was even more convinced. Over these two months, she had been selecting candidates, but none were quite right. If she and Princely Heir were not dissatisfied with the candidate, then Mingzhu herself rejected them. In the end, they could not find a suitable one.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Yi said, "Madam, the day I accompanied Miss Lian to Four Treasures Square to buy some items, we ran into Ning Lixuan."
