After Yu Xian finished speaking, Zhou Weizong was a little moved.
Indeed, he did not dare to say that he could protect his cousin. If anything happened, his cousinâs life would really be destroyed.
âI-I wonât force you to leave. Itâs just that itâs inevitable that you and Brother Xie will have some contact with you when you guys spar...â Zhou Weizong hesitated.
Thud!
Xie Pinggang suddenly slammed the table.
âBrother Zhou! Is your stupid mind even smaller than a sesame seed?! Why canât a martial artist spar with others? According to what you said, when you capture an assassin, you wonât do it if the opponent is a woman?!â Xie Pinggang was furious.
Yu Xian also thought her cousinâs words were very strange.
âCousin, when my father was still alive, I was in the navy camp and fought with others a few times every day. Those people were even shirtless. Sometimes, when they fought until their eyes turned red, it was possible for them to roll on the ground a few times. According to what you said, I... am no different from the women from the brothel?â Yu Xian suddenly understood why those people in her hometown despised her so much.
However, if it was a crime to be in contact with men, what was the point of her practicing martial arts?
Could it be that it was just for show?
Zhou Weizong was shocked.
Xie Pinggang looked at Yu Xian and said, âSister Yu, you canât say that. I think youâre right. Martial arts are meant to be used and practiced. You canât be doing that secretly, right?! Actual combat is very important.â
Yu Xian cupped her fists at Xie Pinggang and said, âThank you, Brother!â
The two of them chimed in, and Zhou Weizong was angry.
Huh. They made him look like he was a bad person.
âAlright, since youâre both willing to fight and suffer, what else can I say?! However, Brother Xie, my cousin is a woman after all. In the future, you should be more reserved when sparring with her! You canât say those nonsense!â
Especially those nonsense about wanting to sleep together!
It was simply detestable!
âDonât worry, Iâll be more careful.â Xie Pinggang smiled.
In the future, he might hit her even harder.
There were not many women in this world who knew martial arts. There were even fewer who could practice it so well. How would he waste the opportunity?
In the future, he would let her practise more. She could not slack off after learning almost everything just because she was a woman. Moreoverâ¦
Xiâer would not be able to learn only from the steward. Why not learn a few techniques from her as well so that she could protect herself in the future?
Xie Pinggang thought he had picked up a treasure.
Not only such a martial arts instructor would be able to teach him and his stupid younger brother, she would also be able to teach his useless second sister as well.
Unfortunately, his eldest sisterâs health was lacking and she could not learn. Otherwise, if the whole family followed her and learned the technique, it would definitely be a high profit!
Zhou Weizong did not know what Xie Pinggang was thinking. He only thought that his smile was a little scary.
He was feeling uneasy.
Today, he was going to stay as a guest, so they had to eat together.
After eating, he talked to his cousin for a while, and Aunt Lin rushed over with worn clothes.
It was fortunate that Aunt Lin had a good temper. Otherwise, who would come running over just because of a sentence from Xie Pinggang?
Aunt Lin saw him. Although she was a little afraid of him, she was an elder after all, so she could still hold it in.
After the tea was served, Xie Pinggang asked, âAunt Lin, howâs your skill? Youâve delivered quite a number of children over the years, right?â
Aunt Lin thought it was strange. âMy father runs a medicine hall, and I learned a lot from him, so I can shamelessly say that my skill is indeed not bad... Iâve already delivered countless babies.â
âThen dare I ask Aunt Lin, among the babies you delivered, were there more boys or girls?â Xie Pinggang asked casually.
âThere were more girls.â Aunt Lin did not hide anything. âIn this world, when people have sons before, they wonât be so persistent about giving birth later on. But if it was a girl, they would naturally have one child after another. They would have two babies within three years, they would rush to give birth.. So, it should be more girls than boys.â
