Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Juexi opened his mouth to explain to Ye Yuwei, but changed his mind in the end and swallowed his words. “Didn’t I say I haven’t figured it out? I will tell you about it when I do.”

“But I might be able to help if you tell me,” Ye Yuwei said stubbornly.

“You might not. Now go get some sleep,” said Gu Juexi as he marched out the door.

He’d rather believe that Nalan Chunbo’s age was real than fake.

“Where are you going?” asked Ye Yuwei as she saw him walking out the door.

“Master Yao Lao said she would teach me tai chi. I am idle anyway,” said Gu Juexi as he waved his hand and left the room.

Tai chi was known for its slowness. Slow was the keyword for mastering tai chi, and it was the exact element that Gu Juexi didn’t have in him.

Gu Juexi had been acting fast his whole life, and it was great that he got the chance to practice tai chi now.

Gu Juexi was a highly intelligent man and could remember every single move after Master Yao Lao demonstrated them only once.

“He Liao practiced tai chi too when he was small, but he had a short temper and always got beat up by his father for that,” said Master Yao Lao while watching Gu Juexi practicing.

Gu Juexi froze for a second then said, “He Liao does it well. He used to teach us in the army.”

“I didn’t visit the army that year and didn’t get to see him one last time,” Master Yao Lao lowered her gaze and said, “but He Liao wrote to me before the mission.”

Gu Juexi stopped practicing and looked at Master Yao Lao.

“He said he might die for his country, but I didn’t want him to worry about me while at war,” Master Yao Lao said it very softly but Gu Juexi managed to catch every word she said.

[“I must show you the He family’s unique way of acupuncture, Boss. I promise that you won’t feel sore the next day after the session.”

“Don’t brag, He Liao. Why didn’t you show us earlier if it exists?”

“What do you know about traditional Chinese medicine? It will only work at the most critical time. For example, how we have spent one month hiding in this place. I can almost feel myself turning into a stone.]

Gu Juexi could remember distinctly how He Liao had bickered with one of their comrades.

“I failed to bring him back.” Gu Juexi clenched his fists and said.

“We both knew that he died for the country. It was a noble reason and I understand it,” said Master Yao Lao, “and I wouldn’t have agreed to treat your daughter if I still blame you.”

“He Liao had exquisite medical skills,” Gu Juexi sat down beside Master Yao Lao and said.

“Sacrifices are inevitable in war,” said Master Yao Lao as she looked at Gu Juexi, “I can feel your impatience. Why, are you in trouble again?”

“It’s nothing,” said Gu Juexi as he got up and continued his practice.

“Tai chi focuses on softness, slowness, support for temperament, and flexibility. You won’t do well in your current state of mind,” Master Yao Lao took a sip of her tea and said.

Gu Juexi adjusted his emotions, setting aside the things that have been bothering him, and started all over again.

Meanwhile in X Country, the rocking chair was rocking softly, the face of the person in the chair hidden in the dark.

There were a few photos on the table. They were newly taken, and in the photo was a man practicing tai chi.

“Gu Juexi has been spending time at a place called Shennongjia. Rumors are that he went there to treat his daughter. I have also heard rumors saying that Gu Juexi was badly injured from his battle with the Bai family,” the bodyguard in black reported all his information.

The rocking chair stopped rocking, but the person in the dark didn’t come into the light.
