Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 442: So That’s How It Is

After an unknown amount of time passed, Gu Ningyue nodded gently, her ears filled with Man Qianshan’s cheer.

Seeing Man Qianshan’s undisguised joy, Gu Ningyue took a sip of milk from her cup and said, "Don’t get too excited too soon. I’m very busy lately, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to teach you. Also, learning this is very tough."

Man Qianshan nodded, "Yeah, I know. How did the saying go? To persuade someone to study law is like thousands of cuts; to persuade to study medicine is a curse from above. I really want to learn, Master, don’t worry, no matter how tough it gets, I can endure it."

Gu Ningyue responded indifferently and was not impressed by Man Qianshan.

Because when she first became an apprentice to Xia Yingbai, she made the same determined promises.

It wasn’t until she lived with Xia Yingbai that she realized she had answered too readily.

Now, even though Man Qianshan is older than she was back then, just by looking at her, one can tell she’s never faced any hardship.

Luckily, what she wants to learn are just some simple techniques; Gu Ningyue isn’t planning to teach her anything too difficult.

After all, Man Qianshan is a wealthy young lady, and she doesn’t want to bring too much trouble onto herself.

Most of the time, stopping at an appropriate point is just a way to stay safe.

But even the little things require a lot of effort and dedication from Man Qianshan.

Gu Ningyue hopes she understands this, which is why she said what she did.

Seeing Man Qianshan’s determination, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you interested in this?"

At this age, shouldn’t she be more interested in idols and shopping?

A blossoming young girl wanting to learn the trade of an ’old Chinese medicine doctor’ is something she truly cannot fathom.

Man Qianshan took a big gulp of milk tea and looked at Gu Ningyue earnestly, "Master, don’t you really think this is cool?"

Gu Ningyue was slightly taken aback, "Cool?"

When she learned from her master, she only felt that her whole being was unwell. Never mind thinking it was cool; she wanted to press her own death point and sleep eternally.

Man Qianshan nodded vigorously, even mimicking an acupuncture gesture from an old TV drama, "In those martial arts films, the heroes always use acupoints. No matter how skilled in martial arts, once acupoints are struck, there’s no strength left for a counterattack. Master, don’t you think this is especially cool?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, firmly looking at Man Qianshan and said, "Not at all, truly not at all!"

For something that tortured her for years, Gu Ningyue simply couldn’t see it as ’cool.’

Honestly, it was painfully difficult.

With a face full of admiration, Man Qianshan looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "But Master, when you saved the Second Young Master’s son that day, I was watching you, and you seemed to be glowing. Really handsome!"

"Just those few moves brought Ling Xuan back to life. It was awesome!"

Repeating it several times made even Gu Ningyue a bit embarrassed, "You can also do that in the future, as long as you focus. Recently, you need to reinforce the acupoint chart and not slack off."

Man Qianshan responded, "Yeah, Master, I definitely will! You can’t ignore me!"

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but laugh. Her cuteness truly makes her hard not to like.

After finishing the dessert, Man Qianshan insisted on paying, and Gu Ningyue didn’t stop her.

After all, learning always requires tuition fees. This time, consider it interest on the scale!

"Master, where are we going now?"

Leaving the dessert shop, Man Qianshan asked looking at Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue looked towards the nearby corner, "I heard there are a few good jewelry shops here; let’s take a walk!"

Man Qianshan was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, "Good!"

Gu Ningyue glanced at her but didn’t explain, and just leisurely wandered down the street.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Ningyue finally saw through the glass window the figure she was looking for appear in her gaze.

A man with a beer belly got out of a black car.

He wore a large gold chain around his neck, and you could sense its weight even from afar.

Gu Ningyue pursed her lips, surprised that he’d still be living here after being demoted!

Why not move to a better place if no one is investigating him anymore?

Gu Ningyue found it baffling; could it be due to Jin Chenghu’s son’s polio making it inconvenient to move?

Or is there another reason for not moving?

Someone as vile as him surely wouldn’t stay here for sentimentality, right?

"Master, does this look good?" Man Qianshan shook the platinum-bordered ruby pendant in her hand, saying to Gu Ningyue, "Could I buy it and give it to you, Master?"

Gu Ningyue came back to her senses, giving only a fleeting glance at the pendant before turning her gaze back outside, "No need, I already have a pendant."

And this was given to me by Mr. Chen for safety.

Though I don’t know if it’s actually worked, it’s still good to keep it.

Man Qianshan couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed and asked the clerk to put the pendant back into the counter.

It seems Master doesn’t like what she picked, so what now?

A roommate once said that when seeking a favor, you should cater to their interests, but from Master’s demeanor, she’s clearly not interested in these.

Yet if she’s not interested, why have we already wandered several stores?

"Master, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that Gu Ningyue had been staring outside for some time, Man Qianshan couldn’t help but ask.

She followed Gu Ningyue’s gaze and looked outside for a long time, still unable to see anything noteworthy.

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "It’s nothing, just thought I saw an acquaintance. Can’t seem to find them now."

Man Qianshan responded and then suddenly exclaimed, "There are actually rich people here? They bought the latest Porsche model?"

Gu Ningyue, not well-versed in cars, asked upon hearing, "That’s the latest Porsche model?"

Man Qianshan nodded, "Yes! According to reports, it’s a limited edition this year! Only ninety worldwide. Just having money is not enough to buy it; my dad has liked it for a long time, but I didn’t expect... to see it here, really beautiful!"

Gu Ningyue was silent for a few moments, then looked at Man Qianshan and asked, "What would it take to purchase this car?"

Man Qianshan looked puzzled at her, "Master, hasn’t Mr. Qi told you? To reserve this car, you must be in the top ten of the wealthy list or be featured in a certain foreign magazine. The name of that magazine is so long that I didn’t memorize it."

Saying this, Man Qianshan playfully stuck out her tongue.

"So that’s how it is..."

Seems like Jin Chenglong has someone powerful supporting him, no wonder he dared to injure Shangguan Wuyue!
