260: It’s Good to Work Hard (Part 2)
Xie Zhinuan smiled, “Working hard is good, and the times are relatively tolerant toward women. I need to learn more skills, so that even if there comes a day in the future when I’m alone, I can live well!”
Instead of relying on others. Like the Tusizi, who cannot live without something to cling to.
Once abandoned, she would not even possess the skills to survive.
That’s not what she wanted.
A girl who does nothing but eat and spend money, no matter how beautiful she is, will eventually age, her beauty will fade, and the time will come when she is despised by others.
She worked hard while she was young, not only to live a better life but also to avoid being humiliated.
When she first arrived in this world, that carefree and desireless state of mind was truly unacceptable, especially with a face like hers. If she wasn’t ambitious, she would only be coveted, kidnapped, and played with by others.
“The young lady’s ambitions are indeed lofty!” Lian Huai chuckled lightly.
Of course, seeing Xie Zhinuan so dedicated, he was somewhat relieved.
“I saw you practicing boxing before, but it seems you have no foundation!”
“Yes, I’ve never learned before. This is akin to starting in the middle of life’s journey, and I don’t know what it will turn out to be!” Xie Zhinuan said seriously.
She did not feel ashamed.
With determination and perseverance, starting mid-way one could still become a master in the Martial Arts World.
“In that case, let your uncle teach you a few moves. I won’t say you’ll be unmatched under the heavens, but these moves should be enough to save your life in times of danger,” Lian Huai said, looking at Xie Zhinuan, “Do you have Inner Strength?”
“Inner Strength?” Xie Zhinuan asked in surprise.

Li Hengyi was also taken aback.“Mute!” Lian Huai called out.
The mute servant ran over quickly, “Ah, ah, ah!”
“Show Zhinuan whether she has Inner Strength. If not, impart some to her, and then teach her those few defensive moves. It’s good for a girl to know a bit of self-defense!”
The mute servant nodded.
His few defensive Martial Arts moves were somewhat treacherous, usually not employed by him, but for someone without any Martial Arts foundation, they were more useful than Peerless Martial Arts.
He used hand signals to tell Xie Zhinuan to start learning the next morning. Xie Zhinuan did not understand, and in the end, Lian Huai had to translate for her.
“Alright, then I’ll start learning from the mute uncle tomorrow!”
The mute servant mentioned the matter of imparting Inner Strength again.
Xie Zhinuan readily agreed.
Li Hengyi was quite surprised because even with his Martial Arts, he couldn’t impart Inner Strength to Xie Zhinuan.
Although he could use Inner Strength to help Xie Zhinuan unblock her meridians, it was possible.
He hadn’t expected this mute servant to have such skill.
“The mute servant’s master has some background, he indicates that he can impart Inner Strength to Zhinuan, help unblock her meridians, and consolidate the Inner Strength within her body!” Lian Huai said, glancing at Li Hengyi.
“Has Master Li never heard of this?”
“I’ve heard that there is such a skill in the Martial World, but I’ve never encountered it before!”
The Imperial Court and the Martial World, though they coexist in this realm, the Imperial Court does not usually interfere with the matters of the Martial World, and people from the Martial World dare not act too excessively, attracting the attention of the Imperial Court. Often, the Imperial Court and the Martial World complement each other.
The mute servant gestured for Xie Zhinuan to sit on the kang bed, partially undress, revealing her back.
Although Xie Zhinuan felt somewhat shy, she was not overly so. After all, she was still wearing an undergarment, and showing her back was not considered too much.
The window was closed, but the door was open, so if anything happened, Li Hengyi could come in immediately.
The mute servant was even more nervous and embarrassed than Xie Zhinuan.
For the first time at his age, he was so close to a woman, instructing Xie Zhinuan to sit cross-legged and meditate. He sat behind her, raised his palm to gather energy, and placed his hands on Xie Zhinuan’s back.
Xie Zhinuan only felt a warm current rush into her body, gradually growing hot, circulating through her veins and limbs.
