The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 135
After Yuan Ying left Jiangcheng, Qin Wan returned to the Xianxia School to continue practicing sword day after day.After her reprimand to Cheng Jiao before, although the new disciples isolated her, no one dared to provoke her again.Qin Wan didn't care about the exclusion of those little girls, and she even preferred to keep the status quo so that she could focus on practicing swords with peace of mind.

Time has entered July, and Senior Sister Mo Yun announced that during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, the Xianxia faction will rehearse a sword dance to commemorate the festival with the people at the foot of the mountain, and the chief dancer of the sword dance will be chosen among all the disciples to dance the best. The best one served.

After Qin Wan heard the news, she didn't think too much. She had never learned dance and didn't understand rhythm. She only participated because it was a compulsory task for new disciples, and she had to participate.

So Qin Wan's daily practice included sword moves and sword dancing. The right hand holding the sword had worn out and grown back every day, and it had grown and worn out for several rounds, but she was still not very satisfied with the effect of her practice.

"You practice like this by yourself, no matter how hard you work, you won't improve."

Qin Wan was thinking about sword moves when he suddenly heard Ji Yan's voice appearing beside him.

She was startled, looked at Ji Yan who turned over from the courtyard wall, and quickly pulled him aside: "You are crazy! The Xianxia faction doesn't let men in, how dare you come in?!"

"You haven't gone down the mountain for so many days, so I'll come to see you." Ji Yan smiled brighter than the bright moon above his head, "You can't practice swords by yourself like you, you have to have someone practice with you and point out to each other Problems can make progress. Otherwise, you will only get half the result with half the effort.”

Qin Wan pouted and said, "I know, but I can't get along with those little girls, and the senior sister is too busy, so I'm embarrassed to bother her."

Ji Yan patted his chest and said, "Oh, come to me, I'll practice with you."

"You?" Qin Wan squinted at him, as if you could do it.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a good place to practice swords. It's spacious and empty." Saying that, Ji Yan went to hold Qin Wan's hand.

But as soon as he touched Qin Wan's right hand heart, Qin Wan pulled back in pain.

"What's the matter?" Ji Yan saw her gasping, and asked with concern.

Qin Wan spread out his palms in front of him, the calluses on his palms were broken, and a little blood oozes out.

"Give me your hand." Ji Yan carefully lifted Qin Wan's right palm, took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his bosom, bit off the bottle cap with his teeth, carefully sprinkled the medicinal powder evenly on Qin Wan's hands, and then put the powder on Qin Wan's hands with his mouth. Put the lid back on and asked, "Is there any Sipa?"

"Yes." Qin Wan took out her silk handkerchief and handed it to Ji Yan.

Ji Yan gently helped her bandage her right hand, sighed and said: "Although practicing swords and sharpening cocoons is a necessary process, I have never seen someone who works so hard like you. Have you ever heard a word called Haste makes waste, you still have to find the tricks and methods of practicing swords.”

"I also want to find the tricks, but I'm just getting started, so it's good to have the skills." Qin Wan pouted.

"Come with me, I'll take you to find the trick." Ji Yan said with a smile.

Ji Yan led Qin Wan down the mountain, and came to a secluded and wide riverside flat land, not much vegetation, river stalls paved with gravel, the river splashed against the river bank, the bright moon was hanging high, bright and flat, it was indeed practice Great place for swords.

Ji Yan found a twig from the grass, and began to point out Qin Wan's sword skills one by one.

"How do you know the Xianxia School's swordsmanship?" Qin Wan asked in confusion.

"The more you read, the more you will." Ji Yan replied.

"You often go to Xianxia School to watch girls practice sword?" Qin Wan looked at Ji Yan suspiciously.

Ji Yan quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not. Well, do you want to continue learning from me?"

"Learn, learn, of course." Qin Wan said with a smile.

In this way, Qin Wan practiced under Ji Yan's guidance every night.

The river was surging, insects were singing and frogs were singing, and the gravel on the river beach could not leave traces of the two of them practicing, but whether it was sword moves or sword dance, Qin Wan had improved significantly and rapidly.

A month later, Qin Wan was even able to fight against Ji Yan a few tricks, and she also had a happy look on her face.

Sitting on a rock by the river, Qin Wan asked Ji Yan: "You said we knew each other five or six years ago, but how did we know each other then?"

Ji Yan looked at Qin Wan and said with a smile, "You haven't remembered yet?"

Qin Wan shook his head.

Ji Yan said: "It was about six years ago. That was the first time I came to Jiangcheng. I stole a few buns and was beaten by the bun shop owner. You happened to pass by at that time, and you gave the boss money and saved me."

"So simple?" Qin Wan asked.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Ji Yan replied.

"So I'm your benefactor?" Qin Wan raised his eyebrows.

Ji Yan smiled: "Well, that's it."

Qin Wan said: "Then you teach me how to practice swords as a kind repayment?"

Ji Yan said, "Well, almost."

Qin Wan stretched her waist and stretched her arms: "At first, I was thinking about how to thank you for teaching me how to practice swords, but since you are repaying your kindness, then I don't need to prepare a special thank you gift for you."

"Ah, Wanwan, you are really cunning. I have worked so hard to teach you for more than a month. You can't get nothing in return, can you?" Ji Yan complained.

"Don't call me that." Qin Wan suddenly put away his smile.

"Why?" Ji Yan saw her normal expression just now, suddenly lost her smile, and asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, just call me by my first name." Qin Wan said.

Ji Yan: "Qin Wanwan?"

"Qin Wan."

Ji Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll call you Qin Wan directly from now on."

……

As expected, Qin Wan won the first place in the sword dance quiz organized by Mo Yun and was qualified to lead the dance.

Cheng Jiao beat her chest and stamped her feet angrily, but she had no choice but to look at Qin Wan with resentful eyes.

Master Huayu was very satisfied with Qin Wan when she heard the news.She personally inspected Qin Wan's swordsmanship, and found that Qin Wan not only practiced the sword dance very well, but also his swordsmanship was not inferior at all, so she immediately praised Qin Wan.

The days of practicing sword and dancing passed quickly, and the Mid-Autumn Festival finally arrived on August [-]th.

Jiangcheng set up a stage on the square in the city, and all theatrical troupes, dance houses, and bands sent their best teams to participate in this Mid-Autumn Festival performance. Show unique skills, and compete whose program is more brilliant.

It was only then that Qin Wan realized that this Mid-Autumn Festival performance could attract almost all the people in the city. Of course, Jiangcheng is very small, and there are not many people in the whole city.But what she didn't expect was that when she was preparing to go onstage backstage, she found that Ba-Wang and Queen Weifu appeared in the audience.

Holding the hem of her skirt, she ran from the backstage to Queen Bawang, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you two here? Did you bring any guards?"

King Ba and the Queen wore the clothes of poor people and said to Qin Wan with a smile: "It's okay, who can tell what we look like. Today is the first time our precious daughter Wanwan dances on stage, and she is leading the dance. We have to come Cheers to my daughter."

"Yeah, Wanwan, don't be nervous when you go up later, the queen mother is here to cheer you on, and you will definitely be able to overwhelm everyone."

Qin Wan didn't have any parents, so being favored by King Ba and the Queen, she immediately lost her defenses: "Thank you, Father and Queen Mother, I will work hard."

At the beginning of the performance, Qin Wan held a long sword and led a group of Xianxia disciples to the stage. After more than a month of practice, it was finally time to show the results.

The silk and bamboo sounded, and the string music was ethereal. I saw her dancing and playing skills, whirling and turning, the dragon leaping in the shadow of the flowers, the phoenix swaying on the brocade, and the phoenix came to the ceremony. Changhong's 皪, with its capacity and attitude, sits around happily, and the audience is amazed.

After the dance, the whole house applauded, the Ba-Wang couple took the lead in applauding, and the atmosphere was instantly enthusiastic.

Qin Wan was ready to call the curtain with a smile, when suddenly a sharp gaze from the crowd caught her attention.

Qin Wan looked up instinctively, and saw that the owner of that gaze was wearing a black long gown, standing very conspicuously among the crowd, and was looking at him from afar with a complicated expression.

When she saw the man's face clearly, Qin Wan's heart palpitated violently, her breathing became stagnant, her mind went blank, and only one name floated in her heart: "Ning Yi...?"

　的皪 [de lì]: Bright and bright.
