There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

When Yan Lingji invited him to demonstrate the power of the Reverse Scale, Jiang Mo readily agreed. After telling her to be careful, he immediately drew his sword and charged forward.

hum~

Amidst the low, hoarse sound of the sword's cry, Jiang Mo felt his inner strength being rapidly depleted, as if being devoured by a black hole, while an invisible force field unfolded in the room.

Let the passage of time slow down.

With a light touch of his toes, Jiang Mo did not use the newly mastered "Heavenly Illusion Phoenix Dance," but instead used ordinary light footwork to rush towards Yan Lingji, raising the Reverse Scale in his hand and pointing the broken blade at Yan Lingji.

Even so, Yan Lingji still found Jiang Mo's movements incredibly fast. However, it wasn't impossible to deal with him.

There was no attempt to dodge.

Knowing that she couldn't keep up with Jiang Mo's speed, Yan Lingji stood calmly in place, her long black hair flying in the scorching air.

A surge of flames rose up.

It completely enveloped Yan Lingji, releasing bursts of flames that spread outwards with a series of explosive sounds.

This forced Jiang Mo to retreat with his sword, no longer daring to advance.

The invisible force field vanished in the next second, leaving Jiang Mo, who felt his inner strength drained, standing there panting.

"Not bad, not bad, quite impressive."

Although she had forced Jiang Mo back with a single move, Yan Lingji's eyes still flashed with amazement, and she couldn't help but praise him repeatedly:

"Below the Innate Realm, I'm afraid there are very few people who can withstand your sword strike."

"To be precise, they won't even have a chance to block before you behead them with a single sword strike, unless they're like the Peerless Demon with a head of bronze and arms of iron."

"It was just one sword strike."

Feeling his internal energy being completely depleted in just a moment, Jiang Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The energy required to manipulate spacetime is terrifying.

Previously, the Reverse Scale Sword continuously absorbed the power from the Earth's core fire vein and was able to achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency, but now it relies entirely on Jiang Mo to activate it.

They couldn't even last five seconds!

"Therefore, you must maximize the power of this sword strike, turning it into a deadly move that even experts at the Innate Realm must retreat from!"

Yan Lingji smiled slyly, her light blue eyes sparkling.

Even though he admired her flawless beauty all day long, Jiang Mo still felt occasionally amazed. However, when he saw Yan Lingji looking like this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"What terrible idea have you come up with this time?"

"Pah, how can you say such an unpleasant thing? I just had a flash of inspiration and came up with a brilliant idea."

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Jiang Mo and grabbed his wrist.

"To fully unleash the power of the Reverse Scale Sword, one must at least be quite proficient in swordsmanship, and not just swing it like a club like you did just now."

"Come on, let's go and become apprentices!"

Without giving Jiang Mo a chance to object, Yan Lingji grabbed Jiang Mo and strode out the door.

"You mean, he wants to become my disciple and learn swordsmanship?"

Inside her boudoir, Zi Nu looked at Yan Ling Ji, who had barged in uninvited, and repeated what the other woman had just said, momentarily wondering if she had misheard.

Her confused eyes turned to Jiang Mo beside her.

Jiang Mo, who was rubbing his wrist and marveling at how Yan Lingji's strength had increased again, was actually a little confused.

When it comes to learning swordsmanship, his first thought is naturally Wei Zhuang.

After all, although this guy is a bit arrogant and cold, his skills are indeed quite impressive. As someone who can rival the Sword Saint, his swordsmanship is beyond question.

Even if it's just a few words of guidance from them.

Even for Jiang Mo, who is currently unfamiliar with swordsmanship, it has been very beneficial.

Unexpectedly, Yan Lingji excitedly dragged him straight to Zi Nu's room, grabbed his shoulders and pushed him forward, as if she wanted to use him to push Zi Nu down.

"That's right! You don't want to teach?"

Before Jiang Mo could speak, Yan Lingji responded on his behalf, blinking her clear light blue eyes and asking a question in return.

"Not really."

Still somewhat confused, Zi Nu was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to be alone with Jiang Mo legitimately, but she was also worried that Yan Ling Ji had ulterior motives for doing so. For a time, she was quite conflicted.

I agreed, but something felt off.

I refuse, yet I can't bear to part with it.

“Brother Jiang, Sister Yan, becoming an apprentice is not a serious matter. It can’t be decided so easily with just a few words.”

A melodious voice rang out; it was Nongyu speaking from inside the room.

This clever girl noticed Zi Nu's inner turmoil and took the initiative to speak up, saying some things that Zi Nu was reluctant to say.

"Oh, the apprenticeship ceremony, is that right? No problem!"

Yan Lingji suddenly realized what Nongyu meant, and without saying a word, she pressed Jiang Mo's head down to make him bow to Zi Nu, while shouting:

"It's alright, come on, just kowtow once."

Jiang Mo, looking exasperated, broke free from Yan Lingji's grasp. Zi Nu, sitting opposite him, also became restless and quickly stood up to step aside, afraid of actually receiving Jiang Mo's bow.

She wanted to take the relationship to the next level.

But it's not like this!

If the two become master and disciple, wouldn't there be no possibility left? This Yan Lingji is indeed wicked, what a cunning scheme!

But the master-disciple relationship feels pretty exciting...

Wake up, Zi Nu! Don't let the other party mislead you! The relationship is already quite complicated and messy enough; don't make any more mistakes.

Nongyu was also startled by Yan Lingji's behavior and quickly jumped in to smooth things over:

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. There's no need for any apprenticeship or anything like that! With Sister Zi Nu's relationship with Brother Jiang, teaching him a few tricks is no problem at all."

"But Sister Yan, you..."

Nongyu's idea was actually very simple. She was trying her best to create opportunities for Zinu and Jiang Mo to be alone together, pushing the somewhat hesitant Zinu to continue moving forward.

As for whether it's morally right to do this when the person is already taken.

She's not married yet, is she?

what is the relationship?

Even if we take a step back and assume that Yan Lingji and Jiang Mo are already married, so what? Aren't there enough married people who come to Zilan Pavilion?

"Alright, then Jiang Mo is yours to handle~"

To Nongyu and Zinu's bewilderment, Yanlingji, upon hearing this, simply pushed Jiang Mo in front of them, clapped her hands, and left without hesitation.

Before leaving, he winked at Zi Nu.

It's unclear whether the intention was to convey "I trust you to handle things" or to say "Since I'm not here, you can go ahead and practice."

This made it even harder for Zi Nu to understand what the other party was thinking.

He cried out in his heart:

Weird!

Chapter 5 I can handle people like this.

"No, no, don't grip the sword so tightly! Relax your body, don't be like a stick."

"That's right, keep it up."

In the backyard of Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu was personally guiding Jiang Mo through a massage. She reached out from behind Jiang Mo and gently squeezed his hand to help him relax.

Being so close together created a feeling of intimate intimacy.

It has to be said that although Yan Lingji was being a bit reckless, choosing Zi Nu to tutor Jiang Mo was a lucky accident.

In terms of swordsmanship, Zi Nu is definitely inferior to Wei Zhuang.

But when it comes to teaching ability, Zi Nu is far superior to that cold-faced pretentious guy.

All the sisters in Zilanxuan were taught martial arts by Zi Nu.

Even Nongyu's exquisite zither skills were actually guided by Zinu during her early education.

Her explanations were detailed and she was very patient.

Just because Jiang Mo was skilled and had considerable power, they didn't become overly ambitious and rush to teach Jiang Mo any advanced sword techniques.

Instead, they took a steady and methodical approach, starting with the most basic skill of holding a sword.

Then, instruction is given on basic sword techniques such as thrusting, parrying, entangling, picking, and deflecting.

Her earnest demeanor added a unique charm to her already intellectual and gentle nature. It made Jiang Mo momentarily think of those widely circulated images of other people's English teachers online.

It has been the source of countless youthful fantasies!

Moreover, perhaps because she taught her own sisters to develop this habit, Zi Nu prefers to take action directly rather than give verbal guidance.

Every now and then, she would get close to Jiang Mo to correct his mistakes.

Her shapely body, even more exquisite under the tight-fitting clothes, would occasionally brush against Jiang Mo's back and arms, and her faint fragrance, like that of a delicate orchid, would linger around Jiang Mo's nose.

It makes one's mouth dry, one restless, and one's blood surging.

Perhaps it was influenced by the Narne Flame.

Jiang Mo now feels that his yang energy seems to be a bit too strong. Even though he spent a long time with Yan Lingji last night, he couldn't help but greet Uncle Chen when he caught a glimpse of her body the next morning.

Then came another wave of overwhelming emotion.

It really is true that the spring night is too short and the sun rises too high.

Now, under Zi Nu's close guidance, Jiang Mo couldn't help but feel an invisible fire burning fiercely within his body.

The excessive yang energy is about to burst forth.

However, when Zi Nu was instructing him, she looked very serious, and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of glistening sweat.
