Chapter 8, The Unparalleled Gift
Seeing that the timing was about right, Wang Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh and pretended to be generous as she waved her hand: "Now, I will give this to you to play with."
So it is indeed the case! The master truly deserves to be called a grandmaster, having long since comprehended the highest realm of martial arts! However, such profound teachings are indeed too difficult for a novice like myself.
No regrets
Wang Xiaoxiao was astonished: "He... really makes a difference?"
Yin Hao felt a bit embarrassed and said: "Wake up... it's good that you're awake, hurry and eat."
Seeing that he seemed inclined to teach her, Wang Xiaoxiao immediately felt a surge of confidence and smiled ingratiatingly, saying: "Yes, Senior Brother, I am very eager to learn martial arts, and the martial arts tournament..."
I can
The word "however" was already on the tip of her tongue, but upon seeing his disappointed expression, Wang Xiaoxiao quickly swallowed it back. After all, he had served her ginseng soup, and it seemed a bit inadequate to only offer such a worthless piece of paper...
Seeing this effect, Wang Xiaoxiao felt a sense of relief, realizing that reading martial arts novels was not in vain. What people in the martial world love most is the treasure map, and they often fight to the death over it, causing rivers of blood to flow! Although deceiving like this is somewhat inappropriate, that being said, those treasures made of gold and jade are not much different; they also cannot be eaten, worn, or used, and can only serve as decorations. Our modern Renminbi, although just a piece of paper, is produced with exquisite printing techniques, and in this context, it can also be considered a rare treasure with significant collectible value.

It turned out that Yin Hao had saved himself. Looking at that honest and simple smile, Wang Xiaoxiao felt a surge of gratitude, along with a hint of shame. His earlier treatment of Yin Hao was not truly malicious; he really should not have treated him that way.
Awake
Wow, such great treatment! Wang Xiaoxiao happily finished the soup and suddenly remembered another matter: "Senior Brother Xiao still needs to teach me swordsmanship, he..."
Wen Jing also found it strange, shaking her head: "It doesn't look like a painting, just look at this color..."
Yin Hao expressed disappointment: "Is it ... ... paper?"
Are you really going to learn? It's still the same old story
"How is it called one hundred yuan?" Wen Jing pointed at those three characters in confusion
Feeling embarrassed, Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "By the way, let me give you something."
Wang Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed at the neglected black figure on the chair, and after a long while, she finally came to her senses: "Senior brother has returned..."
I am sorry, Chairman Mao. Suppressing her shame, Wang Xiaoxiao carefully reviewed the anti-counterfeiting features of the Renminbi with these two senior brothers once again, and then continued to unleash her extraordinary imagination
She cheerfully took it out, thought for a moment, put the fifty yuan back, and only took out two one hundred yuan notes: "This is for you to have fun with."
Reaching under the pillow, haha, those three RMB notes are still lying there nicely. Although this gift is a bit light, it is still a token of my heartfelt intention!
She looked at Yin Hao with great sincerity and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yin"
I see! The two of them suddenly understood
Wen Jing busily handed the bowl to her and said: "I had them prepare some dishes, you might as well have some ginseng soup first, Junior Sister."
Indeed, it is like this! You want me to give up automatically, but it won't be that easy! Wang Xiaoxiao steeled her resolve and made what she believed to be the most determined and moving expression: "I must learn!"
Wang Xiaoxiao is troubled: "Then what should I study?"
Then run a lap around this forest
Then, she coughed once
Seeing her hesitate, Xiao Ye said淡淡: "If it doesn't work, then go back"
Of course
Listening to the introduction and gazing at the mysterious watermark, the eyes of the two individuals grew wider and wider
Fifty and one hundred are certainly different. Wang Xiaoxiao said earnestly: "Because yours is upper and lower, while mine is middle"
Finally, everything went dark before my eyes
Hidden, Yin Hao touched it with his finger, exclaiming, "Treasure... treasure!"
How long has it been, about half an hour? This forest is much larger than expected, how much further is it?
Xiao Ye looked at her, his handsome face displaying a look of surprise: "Do you really want to learn martial arts?"
Go back? I am determined to become a female hero
"There really is a person!" Wen Jing exclaimed in surprise
After a while
After some thought, Wen Jing hesitated for a moment and returned the money to her, saying, "Such a precious treasure map, which is also a family heirloom, how can Junior Sister give it to us for free?"
I am only afraid that you cannot endure hardship
If you want me to teach you, do not regret the days to come
Do you still want to learn? Unexpected
Junior Sister, little... little Junior Sister...
Thank you very much, junior sister. We will certainly treasure it well, " Wen Jing happily accepted it and casually remarked, "It seems that junior sister also has one, but why is it different from ours?
Treasure map! The two individuals' eyes sparkled with excitement
Yin Hao looked closely, puzzled: "What is this...?"
"You ... ... you ... ..." Before Yin Hao could finish speaking, he was interrupted as Wen Jing sat down beside him with a small bowl of soup. "Junior Sister didn't have breakfast, so she fainted from lack of strength. Fortunately, Junior Brother Yin happened to pass by."
Of course
Then go ahead and run, " Xiao Ye walked over to the white stone, sat down, and said, " I will wait for you here."
The trees beside her kept retreating, yet Wang Xiaoxiao's lips had turned pale and her complexion was ashen, making it nearly impossible for her to move her feet. Perhaps it was due to not having eaten breakfast, combined with inhaling too much cold air, causing her stomach to cramp painfully.
Xiao Ye, feeling impatient, said: "The master is always like this, using something different every time."
Of course, my dear, can you make one just like it? It is impossible to forge! She said solemnly, "There are only three copies of this treasure map in the world, and its variations are infinitely profound and intricate. Since the time of my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, no one in the Wang family has been able to unravel its secrets, what a pity, what a pity!"
Yin Hao became anxious and pulled him, saying, "Forget it... this is also a gesture of goodwill from Junior Sister."
Wang Xiaoxiao prayed in her heart while demonstrating with her hands, simultaneously mumbling, "No, no, it has to be looked at this way. Do you see it? Is there a person inside? You don't know, do you? That is the Great Luo Immortal guarding the ancient treasure!"
The two happily accepted it
Forget this! Wang Xiaoxiao was filled with regret and hurriedly stammered: "This... this one hundred yuan, it represents... that..." After thinking for a moment, she said earnestly: "This one hundred yuan might just represent the location of the mechanism..."
Xiao Ye came to his senses and looked at her in surprise: "Are you really going to learn?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye looked at her with a strange expression
Xiao Ye looked at her for a moment and nodded: "In that case, come early tomorrow, and remember to have breakfast first"
Wang Xiaoxiao felt utterly weak, as if she were completely drained: "What happened?"
These two junior brothers are truly wonderful, being kind, friendly, and caring. Unfortunately, having come here with nothing, it would be nice to give them something as a token of gratitude if I could...
Every time is different... Wang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, and an infinite sense of reverence arose in her heart. "Could this be the martial arts principle of 'the myriad changes do not depart from the fundamental'?"
I ran, gritting my teeth
Wang Xiaoxiao quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, it is only right for us, as senior and junior siblings, to exchange some gifts upon meeting. Moreover, sigh, the secret of this treasure map has eluded our Wang family for generations, and perhaps we will never comprehend it in our lifetime. It would be good to give it to you as a keepsake."
A voice interrupted her: "Your constitution is too weak, do you still want to learn swordsmanship?"
Wang Xiaoxiao wiped her sweat, fortunately, the other characters are all in Simplified Chinese
He murmured: "Indeed, the myriad changes do not depart from their essence..."
When ... ...
Xiao Ye frowned: "Running too slowly"
Wang Xiaoxiao was solely focused on pleasing her new friends, unaware that those few "treasure maps" would later trigger a series of events around her, bringing along a considerable amount of trouble
After speaking, he stood up and walked away on his own
The two individuals suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"
Feeling that the person had left, Wang Xiaoxiao let out a heavy snort, expressing her dissatisfaction: "What's so great about it? It's just that he knows some martial arts and is a bit handsome, with two eyes on the top of his head!"
Of course, it is not paper, um, this... is our family's ancestral treasure map.
Heavenly judgment, I, the princess warrior, did not intend to deceive, nor do I harbor any malice; I merely wished to express my sincere goodwill, otherwise they would be disappointed
Seeing her complain, Yin Hao hurriedly stopped her: "No... it's not like that, Eighth Senior Brother is..."
... ...
Wang Xiaoxiao was instantly dumbfounded. ... No way, this forest is so vast, it’s almost like running a lap around the entire waist of Mount Hua, covering at least over 2,000 meters. I used to struggle with just 800 meters...
Upon opening his eyes, he saw a face that appeared quite honest. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yin Hao, who spoke with a slight stutter. Seeing Wang Xiaoxiao awake, he immediately turned his head and exclaimed excitedly: "Good... good, it's great that you're awake!"
Am I still too slow despite all this? Please, I have clearly done my best, alright? It feels like you are deliberately making things difficult for me! ... By the way, it must be that you want me to give up, so when the master lays the blame, it won't be your concern ... Wang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and lowered her head in a gesture of shame: "I am sorry, I will practice more in the future ... "
Yin Hao also discovered: "Really... there really is."
The wild geese pass low, their cries subdued, as the cold wind whispers mournfully
Did you hear? ... It is something that one cannot comprehend in a lifetime, it is useless, it can only serve as a commemoration. I, Wang Xiaoxiao, am not entirely deceiving you either
Unfortunately! The two sighed
Wang Xiaoxiao, feeling impatient, waved her hand to interrupt, saying, "I know, I know."
