After the banquet, everyone bid farewell to Ji Yanran.
Just as Li Yao was about to leave, Ji Yanran suddenly called out to him, "Grand Tutor Li, please wait. I would like to ask you for some advice."
Immediately, the powerful and talented individuals who were about to leave cast envious, jealous, and hateful glances at them.
Could it be that Li Yao is going to become Ji Yanran's lover tonight?
Chapter 69 The Talented Woman Challenges, Li Yao is Attacked Again
Li Yao was somewhat surprised when Ji Yanran suddenly called out to him.
At the same time, Li Yao sensed a strong, jealous gaze coming from among the departing crowd.
Without needing to think too much, Li Yao knew that it was Li Yuan's gaze.
Li Yao's eyes darted around, and he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Ji wants to learn from me? Sure, sure, uh... there are too many people around here, why don't we find a quiet place and discuss it slowly?"
Li Yuan, who was not far away, heard these words and was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died.
Immediately, Li Yuan stormed off in anger.
Ji Yanran was taken aback. With her intelligence, how could she not understand the hidden meaning in Li Yao's words?
She never imagined that Li Yao was such a shallow person.
Suddenly, she lost interest in Li Yao and said coldly, "Yanran is tired. Please make yourself at home, Grand Tutor Li!"
Li Yao was well aware of Ji Yanran's thoughts, but he didn't care at all. He shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Okay!"
After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.
Ji Yanran was taken aback once again. She thought Li Yao would stay and refuse to leave, or apologize for his frivolous words earlier.
She hadn't expected Li Yao to calmly turn and leave.
Immediately, she recalled that when Li Yao had made those frivolous remarks, his eyes had been incredibly clear.
She immediately realized that she had misunderstood Li Yao.
So she quickly chased after Li Yao and called out, "Grand Tutor Li, please wait."
Li Yao did not stop, but he slowed his pace a bit.
When Ji Yanran caught up, Li Yao asked with a smile, "Miss Ji, is there anything else?"
Ji Yanran said apologetically, "I misunderstood the Grand Tutor just now and neglected him. Please forgive me."
Li Yao asked calmly, "I wonder why Miss Ji misunderstood me just now? Did I mean something else by saying that?"
Ji Yanran blushed instantly, speechless.
How could she possibly utter such shameful words?
Li Yao didn't want to make things difficult for Ji Yanran, so he said, "If Miss Ji has nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Ji Yanran quickly said, "Wait, Grand Tutor Li, Yanran does indeed have something to ask you."
Li Yao asked, "What is it?"
Ji Yanran said, "I have long heard of Grand Tutor Li's superb swordsmanship. I am not very talented, but I have also learned some spear and sword techniques. I would like to ask Grand Tutor Li for a few pointers."
Li Yao was overjoyed. Ji Yanran's swordsmanship ranked second in Wei, and her spear skills were unmatched. He had been looking for such a rare opponent.
However, his face remained calm as he nodded slightly and said, "Alright, it wouldn't hurt to have a friendly spar."
Ji Yanran was overjoyed and quickly said, "Grand Tutor, please wait a moment. I will be here shortly after I change into these clothes."
After saying that, she left excitedly.
Soon, she returned excitedly.
At this moment, Ji Yanran was dressed in a martial arts outfit, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring aura.
Ji Yanran held a knife in her left hand and a sword in her right.
She tossed the knife to Li Yao and said, "This knife was specially purchased from Handan by Yanran when she was in Daliang. I heard that you designed this kind of knife. I wanted to study how to use this kind of knife, but unfortunately I have never been able to figure it out. I hope that the Grand Tutor will be so kind as to teach me today."
Li Yao took the knife and discovered that it was a replica of the Embroidered Spring Knife.
In this era, both the design and the swordsmanship of the Embroidered Spring Blade were extremely rare.
Therefore, Ji Yanran was extremely interested in this type of knife and the knife techniques used.
As a result, Ji Yanran developed a great interest in Li Yao.
Therefore, when Li Yao did not appear at the banquet, Ji Yanran was willing to wait for him.
Li Yao brandished the knife in his hand a few times, looked at Ji Yanran and said, "Miss Ji, let's begin."
Clang!
Ji Yanran drew her sword and suddenly transformed into a female leopard, brandishing her sword in a few flourishes before pouncing on Li Yao.
Li Yao slashed left and right, and with a flash of sword shadows, he easily neutralized Ji Yanran's sword attack.
Li Yao discovered that Ji Yanran was agile, like a ghost, retreating and advancing suddenly. Her waist twisted powerfully as if it were equipped with springs, making full use of the strength of her waist and wrists. Her sword strikes were like the Yangtze River, attacking wave after wave.
Ji Yanran's swordsmanship was indeed extraordinary, far surpassing Lian Jin's.
Li Yao secretly praised him in his heart.
However, that's all.
Since Ji Yanran wanted to see his swordsmanship, Li Yao didn't hold back and demonstrated the Qi family swordsmanship techniques one by one.
The magnificent swordsmanship made Ji Yanran's beautiful eyes sparkle with admiration.
After sparring for a while, Li Yao's swordplay suddenly became as fierce as a storm, forcing Ji Yanran to retreat repeatedly.
Immediately, with a clang, Ji Yanran's sword flew out of her hand.
At the same time, she felt a chill creeping up her throat; Li Yao's knife tip was pointing directly at her throat.
Only then did Ji Yanran realize that Li Yao had not used his full strength.
Li Yao is already this powerful without using his full strength; if he were to use his full strength, how terrifying would he be!
Li Yao sheathed his sword, then glanced around and collected the attribute orb contributed by Ji Yanran.
Hehe, Ji Yanran is really generous, she contributed quite a few attributes.
Ji Yanran's pretty face was a little pale.
After pausing for a moment, she said with great admiration, "Grand Tutor Li's swordsmanship is indeed unparalleled. Yanran would like to learn swordsmanship from you, Grand Tutor, and hopes that you will not refuse."
Li Yao handed the knife back to Ji Yanran and said with a smile, "Sure, but you have to join our Mohist Guild first."
"OK!"
Ji Yanran nodded in agreement without hesitation.
This surprised Li Yao slightly; he hadn't expected Ji Yanran to agree so readily.
After talking for a while, Li Yao took his leave.
Ji Yanran seemed to have more to say, as if she still had much to say.
However, she didn't say much.
After putting down the knife in her hand, she personally escorted Li Yao out of the mansion.
Ji Yanran escorted Li Yao all the way to the door.
Li Yao was about to mount his horse.
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air as it sped through the darkness.
"careful!"
Ji Yanran exclaimed in surprise and immediately stood in front of Li Yao.
However, Ji Yanran only felt a blur before her eyes and realized that Li Yao had disappeared.
Then, she heard a series of sharp whistling sounds, along with a series of clanging sounds.
She immediately turned around and saw that Li Yao had somehow acquired a very long knife in his hand.
At the same time, she also saw Li Yao standing in front of her like a mountain. Li Yao was wielding a long sword, forming an impenetrable net of swords in front of him, which knocked down the arrows that were constantly being shot at him.
Ji Yanran was stunned; she hadn't expected Li Yao to be so capable.
Chapter 70 Showing Off on the Training Ground: Dare to Fight Multiple Opponents?
Soon, the attackers ran out of arrows.
The attackers dropped their bows and arrows, drew their swords, and rushed towards Li Yao.
Holding the Embroidered Spring Blade, Li Yao unleashed a chilling killing intent as he charged into the midst of a group of attackers.
Puff puff puff...
With a swift stroke, the knife fell, one kill after another.
Li Yao slaughtered the attackers one by one, like harvesting wheat.
In an instant, a pile of corpses lay on the ground, leaving only one attacker.
The attacker was completely astonished, never expecting Li Yao to be so brave and powerful.
Li Yao suddenly shouted, which startled the attacker so much that he turned and ran away in a panic.
Li Yao leaped into the air and kicked out, sending the attacker sprawling face-first into the air.
Li Yao stepped on the other man, held his embroidered spring knife to the back of his head, and asked sharply, "Are you a poisoner?"
He noticed that although the other person had put on a disguise, their bare feet gave them away.
The other party is very likely a Mohist, and he already knew that Fu Du had infiltrated Handan.
That's why he made that guess.
