Chapter 247: Sneak a Look

Gui You was about to return to the house.
When he heard Su Xiaolu speak, he stopped and walked above her. He looked at her and said, “Girl, did anyone tell you that when you lie, your fingers move many times?”
Su Xiaolu was speechless.
She looked horrified. Had she moved her fingers???
“Stupid girl. Playing mind games with me?”
Gui You crossed his arms over his chest and narrowed his eyes. He looked like he had seen through her trick.
“Tell me, what do you want to do? If you dare to slack off, I guarantee you’ll regret it!”
Gui You said coldly, his sharp eagle-like eyes filled with coldness.
Su Xiaolu only wanted to kneel down and cry.
None of her tricks worked on this master.
Gui You squatted down and picked her up. He placed his hand on Su Xiaolu’s back and injected some internal energy into her.
Su Xiaolu felt much better. She looked embarrassed. She only wanted to go to town after eavesdropping on her sister and Chen Daniu. How could she say anything?
If this number one expert knew that she used her skills to eavesdrop…
Su Xiaolu was dumbfounded.
Sigh… How she regretted it. If she’d known, she wouldn’t have eavesdropped. Then she wouldn’t have known anything and wouldn’t have had to lie, and hence she wouldn’t have been exposed, and the situation wouldn’t have been so awkward.
To say or not to say.
Su Xiaolu’s head suddenly hurt.
Gui You pulled a little of her hair and looked at her enigmatically. “Don’t try to fool me, girl.”
Su Xiaolu touched her hair and lowered her head. “Master Gui You, I eavesdropped on my sister and Big Sister Daniu. Recently, Big Sister Daniu is going to start seeing someone. She wants my sister to accompany her to see them tomorrow. I want to see him too. Big Sister Daniu and I grew up together. I also want to see what kind of person the other party is and investigate him.”
Su Xiaolu tugged at Gui You’s clothes. “Master Gui You, I know I was wrong. Don’t be angry. I’ll go and receive my punishment myself. I promise I won’t eavesdrop again. Can you forget about this?”
Su Xiaolu had admitted her mistake. Gui You was cold and aloof. He was obsessed with practicing his sword every day. He did not understand the love between men and women. This matter was completely hopeless.
Su Xiaolu got up and was about to go to the stake to receive her punishment.
But the back of her neck snapped suddenly, and her forward progress was snatched back.
Gui You said coldly, “There’s no need to accept the punishment. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
Su Xiaolu was stunned. Her eyes lit up and she looked at Gui You in disbelief. “Master Gui You, what did you just say??”
Had she heard right? Had she heard right?
“After you come back, focus on practicing your swordsmanship. You’re far inferior to your big brother.”
Gui You let go of Su Xiaolu’s collar and wrapped his arms around his chest. He turned around and returned to the house arrogantly.
He turned around and smiled in a corner where Su Xiaolu could not see.
The old man had seen through the girl. The old man was controlled by her. He couldn’t be.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to discipline her if she couldn’t stand the strain and got lazy.
Practicing martial arts was much harder than studying medicine. If she wanted to become a peerless expert, she had to keep practicing and not stop for a day.
So far, the little girl had learned well.
“Thank you, Master Gui You. I’ll practice the sword technique fifty times now.”
Su Xiaolu’s happy voice came from behind.
Gui You smiled and went into the house.
Su Xiaolu was extremely happy. Her fatigue seemed to have disappeared. She picked up her sword and started brandishing it.
After practicing with the sword, Su Xiaolu could no longer raise her hand. It was swollen from exhaustion.
She ate her meals with a spoon.
After dinner, she washed up and went to bed. She fell asleep quickly.
Su Xiaoling massaged Su Xiaolu as usual. Looking at Su Xiaolu’s swollen hands, she sighed with heartache. “Sometimes I really want to tell you not to practice anymore. Sigh…”
It was so hard to practice martial arts day after day.
But every time she saw Su Xiaolu fly up, she knew that Su Xiaolu liked to practice martial arts.
She couldn’t ask Su Xiaolu to stop practicing, so she could only massage her shoulders after she was done.
Su Xiaolu’s consciousness slept in the Space and was nourished by spiritual energy. The fatigue in her body gradually eased.
When she woke up, the sky was already bright.
Father, mother, brother, and sister had already gone out.
There was food left for her in the kitchen.
Su Xiaolu was full of energy and called Gui You for the meal.
After eating, Gui You said, “Girl, I’ll test your Internal Breath today. On the way, use Qinggong to boost your Qi. Let’s go.”
Su Xiaolu nodded and the two of them went out together.
Passing by Chen Hu’s house, Chen Hu smiled and asked, “Xiaolu, where are you going?”
Madam Qian, Chen Hu, and Chen Xing also looked at Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Master Gui You wants to test my skills, so we’re going out for a walk.”
Gui You looked bland and merely nodded.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian smiled and said, “Then go quickly.”
They had to start work, too.
Su Xiaolu nodded and left with Gui You.
Away from the road, Gui You leaped away first.
Su Xiaolu also took a deep breath and tried her best to keep up.
Qinggong was propelled by internal force.
Su Xiaolu was sweating all the way to Goathorn Town.
Speaking of which, it was not easy to know Qinggong.
After entering the town, Su Xiaolu said to Gui You, “Master Gui You, let’s wait for a while. The sauerkraut and pickles aren’t sold out yet. They’re still busy.”
“Yeah.”
Gui You nodded. Su Xiaoling and Chen Daniu had always helped sell the products. They would never slack off.
As the cooperation with the restaurants gradually deepened, the two families only sold 50 kilograms a day. Usually, they sold out at quarter to noon.
After the sale, they would slowly pack up. If Su Xiaoling and Chen Daniu wanted to meet someone, they would go out at this time and use buying something as an excuse.
Now, Su Xiaoling and Chen Daniu were still helping out in the shop.
As expected, at around a quarter past noon, Su Xiaoling and Chen Daniu left the shop together.
Su Xiaolu and Gui You followed from afar.
Su Xiaoling and Chen Daniu arrived at a place not far from the inner academy. They found a noodle shop and sat down. Then, they summoned the waiter and asked him to call for the man. Then, they said that they had to keep it a secret and gave the waiter a hundred copper coins to keep it a secret.
After taking the money, the waiter agreed with a smile.
Su Xiaolu and Gui You were sitting on the second floor of the teahouse opposite the noodle shop, watching the movements of the noodle shop through the window.
Chen Daniu asked awkwardly, “Xiaoling, do you think he will notice something? What if he does?”
Su Xiaoling couldn’t help but laugh. “Daniu, if you sit properly and don’t squirm around like this, I guarantee that he won’t be able to tell anything. We’re just eating noodles normally. If you keep fidgeting like this, won’t you be exposing yourself? He’ll probably be able to tell easily.”
A fidgeting, blushing woman. She looked strange.
