"Next time for sure! Ahem, I didn't eat enough today."

"Bang bang bang."

It seems that I have made so many mistakes that I don’t even want to find excuses anymore.

Keqing didn't understand why this guy wanted her to watch him fail. It was obvious that as the Third Prince failed, his face became more embarrassed and blushing. Normally, a boy like him would attach great importance to his dignity.

Finally, after who knows how many words had passed, Zhou Xin performed a cool move on the plum blossom pile!

Zhou Xin seemed to have not expected to use it. He was stunned for a moment, then looked proud, and a hint of joy appeared on his embarrassed face.

"How about it!?"

clap clap-

"Wow! That's amazing."

Keqing clapped her hands, seeming to be very impressed, if one ignored the cold expression on her face and the fact that she had just dozed off and almost fell asleep.

"So, Third Prince, can I go now?"

Keqing yawned, waved her hand, and was about to leave.

Seeing Keqing about to leave, the expression on Zhou Xin's face suddenly darkened.

Don't think he can't see that this guy looks bored and perfunctory.

Even if he knew how much face he had just lost, what was the point of success once, he didn't know how to

What's wrong with me that I have to drag this guy to watch me practice martial arts.

Maybe I think this guy is smarter and maybe he can really see something.

"Then go..."

He said proudly.

Keqing didn't mind, this guy always had this sour face.

"Then Keqing will take his leave."

Keqing bowed and was about to leave.

Well, I shouldn't have wasted much time. I should have sent someone to inform my parents that I would be back later. If I were too late, my family would be worried.

Keqing had not expected to be stopped by the Third Prince suddenly and watched an inexplicable and lame "performance".

Watching Keqing suddenly leave, Zhou Xin suddenly took a step forward and grabbed his hand.

"Hey! Do I really not have the talent for martial arts?"

The pulling force from behind made Keqing pause, and she looked back at Zhou Xin in confusion.

For some reason, that arrogant young man was looking at him with an aggrieved expression. In his arrogant eyes, there was complexity, loss, and a certain gloom.

"Are you asking someone?"

"I have inquired about it, and you are indeed quite capable. I never thought that you could really defeat a bandit at such a young age."

"And I've observed you from time to time. Not only are you strong, but you're also very quick to react! You were able to quickly dodge their pranks and little tricks, which shows that you're very skilled."

"And you walk lightly and steadily. Last time, Li Hua's ink was about to spill on you. I thought you couldn't dodge it, but who would have thought that you actually caught the ink without spilling a single drop."

"Last time when Third Sister was boating, she was almost frightened and fell into the lake. It was you who rushed over. You were clearly three meters away from her, but you grabbed her in the blink of an eye."

As Zhou Xin spoke one by one, Keqing had never expected that he actually observed her so carefully. She thought that this arrogant guy usually looked down on her, but she didn't expect that he had been observing her the whole time.

As if knowing what Keqing was thinking, Zhou Xin pursed his lips.

"Do you think I'm a fool? Since my brother said that you have a great talent for martial arts, how can I not ask around and observe you?"

Although he was a little bit unconvinced, Zhou Xin became dissatisfied with Keqing's subsequent literary talent and the teacher's praise.

At that time, his idea was very simple. This guy was so talented in literature, so he definitely couldn't be so good at martial arts. So he sent someone to inquire about him. The result was indeed unexpected. It seemed that this guy was really good at martial arts.

So he started to observe carefully. Every time he seemed to ignore Keqing, he was actually observing her secretly. As a result, he discovered many situations that he could not see normally.

He didn't believe that a little girl was better than him, but he had to admit that it was the fact.

This is also why I suddenly lost my mind and asked this guy to watch me practice martial arts.

"Tell me, do I have no talent?"

Keqing didn't know how to answer this question, but since Zhou Xin asked her, Keqing thought about it.

"Why does the Third County Prince want to practice martial arts here? Didn't His Majesty find a martial arts master for you?"

Hearing Keqing's question, Zhou Xin blushed and looked a little embarrassed.

"Hmm? If you don't want to say it..."

"There's nothing bad to say. You can't learn anything from them!"

As Zhou Xin continued his narration, Keqing also understood why he practiced alone in such a remote place.

Because he has no talent...

It wasn't noticeable when I first started practicing the basic horse stance, but problems started to arise when I started practicing the later martial arts moves and internal energy.

Because the instructors hired by the prince found that Zhou Xin did not seem to have the talent for martial arts.

For the same moves, an ordinary person can definitely learn them well within a certain period of time, but if the Third Prince were to learn them, he would learn them wrong no matter how hard he tried.

A proper boxing move, when practiced by Zhou Xin, looked confused and like a drunken boxer, and it just wouldn't be corrected no matter what he did.

It would be fine if Zhou Xin had a bad attitude, but the Third Prince is extremely hardworking and has been working hard for this. It can be seen that he actually likes learning martial arts.

Of course, this was done in secret. In order not to be discovered, he would not practice on the surface, because he did not want people to say that he spent so much time practicing a mere martial arts move. That would be so embarrassing.

The instructor didn't know about the secret practice at first, but he noticed it after a while and didn't say anything, which was a pity.

It would be fine if his moves weren't good enough, but it just so happens that this prince can't even learn the internal skills.

Unfortunately, not everyone’s hard work pays off, not even Zhou Xin, a royal disciple.

Even the instructor hinted, intentionally or unintentionally, that he had no talent for martial arts, so how could Zhou Xin give up and find another instructor.

He felt that it was not because of his lack of talent, but rather that there must be something wrong with his method.

The result is naturally self-evident. Practicing martial arts is basically the same. First, you lay the foundation and train your physical strength. Then you go a step further and practice internal skills and true qi to start truly practicing martial arts.

However, he was stuck at this step.

Young people also care about their reputation. In order to avoid being discovered that they are not good enough, they can pretend that they do not want to learn martial arts but give up halfway. In this way, they can prove that it is not that they cannot learn it, but that they are lazy and cannot persist, so they have not been able to learn for a long time.

This also led to the spread of the three princes love to learn martial arts, but

Rumor has it that he is very bad and has no perseverance.

"Is that so?"

Keqing was also surprised. She thought this guy was really the kind of person who was arrogant and had no perseverance, with his eyes rolling up to the sky. She didn't expect that he was such a hard-working person.

No wonder I occasionally see him like that... I thought something was wrong.

"So the Third Prince is stuck in his internal skills? That's why his moves are so weird?"

No wonder, Keqing also knows that many moves need to be coordinated with the mental method. Without the mental method, those moves will be awkward and look terrible when performed.

It's like using sword techniques to perform boxing techniques, which naturally looks weird.

"Correct!"

Zhou Xin had no choice but to go for broke. Since he wanted to ask this guy for help, there was nothing to hide.

"I think since you are so smart and good at martial arts, I want you to see if I really have talent."

"It would be great if there is a solution. If there really isn't, then forget it. Maybe I'm not suited to martial arts."

Keqing didn't expect that Zhou Xin had this in mind, but why did he look for her?

She is just a seven-year-old child!

Little did she know that ever since she came to prominence, people around her, including Zhou Xin, no longer treated her as a child. Not to mention that after several inquiries, Zhou Xin learned that Keqing had learned those sword moves in just a few months, and she was so smart, maybe she could really solve his own problems.

"All right……"

"Then hold out your hand."

Actually, Zhou Xin just... felt a little aggrieved and wanted to express himself. The reason he gave just now was actually very far-fetched. In fact, he felt a little dizzy when he said it out.

After all, what was his talent? If he had any problems, shouldn't he have looked for the teachers? Why would he look for a child?

After all, the teacher couldn't see any problem with my bones.

What can I do by looking for this guy? Can it be possible for her to change her fate? How is that possible?

"Actually, I am just saying this casually. To be honest, I am very jealous of someone as talented as you."

"I just pulled you there because I was not convinced. I wanted you to see my strength, but I didn't expect something went wrong."

"I called you because I thought your reaction was too normal and I felt a little uncomfortable!"

Zhou Xin said awkwardly, but Keqing glanced at him.

"Stretch out your hand, I'll help you take a look. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't show it to you."

Zhou Xin was stunned. Why did this guy have such an attitude?

I just said it casually just now...how could I really expect her to help me find the problem.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still stretched out his hand, and was very curious about what the little guy was going to do.

……

But this is... Keqing also put her hand on his wrist, with two fingers together, as if taking his pulse.

"Have you studied medicine?"

"No? But I have learned martial arts."

Keqing said casually, a wisp of true energy flowing into her veins from her wrist.

"hiss--"

Zhou Xin subconsciously pulled his hand away in pain, but Keqing held it tightly.

How could this guy be so strong? His hand was firmly grasped. He couldn't break free at all. The pain spread from his wrist to his arm and then to his whole body. In just a moment, Zhou Xin broke out in a cold sweat.

"I see!"

Keqing suddenly realized.

"What's wrong? Did you see something?!"

Seeing Keqing like this, Zhou Xin was stunned, and then his eyes lit up. Could it be...

"Could it be that I am actually a hidden genius?"

He blurted out, but received a strange look from Keqing.

"The Third Prince... is he so confident in himself?"

Seeing Keqing's performance, Zhou Xin's stern expectations suddenly dimmed.

It turns out that I have no talent. Just like what my instructor said, I may not be suitable for martial arts... I have a good physique, but I just can't cultivate true Qi.

Without true Qi, the so-called martial arts can only strengthen the body, but those powerful moves cannot be performed at all. Even the lightness skills are just entry-level, and it is impossible to achieve anything great.

"No, I don't have any talent..."

It seemed that he realized his situation, and the glimmer of hope in his heart disappeared.

"I envy you so much for having such a great talent for martial arts... Unlike me, I can't do anything no matter how hard I try... It seems that not everything can be achieved through hard work..."

Zhou Xin said this in a self-deprecating tone, with a hint of sourness in his words.

Occasionally he would see this guy's agile skills, and he would be so envious. Last time, the third sister almost fell into the water, but he jumped over in the blink of an eye. His movements were swift and his steps were light. It was really surprising and made people feel inferior and extremely envious.

He really likes to learn martial arts...

It's a pity that I don't have that talent.

Looking at Zhou Xin's frosty appearance and drooping shoulders, Keqing suddenly felt that this usually arrogant prince seemed a little bit pitiful.

She blinked and said, "But if you don't work hard, there will be no reward. You are working hard in the wrong direction. If the direction is wrong, then naturally no matter how hard you work, it will be useless."
