Volume 1: Storm in the Western Region Chapter 38: Knife in Hand(2/2)

Are you going to take on an apprentice to find trouble for yourself?"

She said it very seriously, but Zhao Rang heard the concealment in it.

"You just don't want to be responsible for one person."

Ye Sanniang's hand that was chopping vegetables paused for a moment before she resumed her movements.

But she didn't say a word.

"How about I be your apprentice! You don't need to be responsible!"

Ye Sanniang raised her head and saw Zhao Rang's face full of earnestness, so she reached out and slapped him on the forehead and said:

"Mr. Zhao! Are you crazy?"

The son of the dignified Zhao family in the north actually wanted to take an outsider as his teacher.

If this word spreads, it will affect the family's reputation, and everyone in the Zhao family will have to fight Ye Sanniang to death!

"Then it's okay if I don't become a disciple, as long as you give me some guidance and help me practice swordsmanship!"

After traveling and wandering recently, Zhao Rang felt that his sword was not as fast as before.

The joyful feeling at the beginning became more and more stagnant. It was as if there was an invisible obstacle lying in front of his eyes and hidden in his arms.

Ye Sanniang finished cutting a potato and then asked:

"What happened to your knife?"

Zhao Rang answered honestly:

"It's slowing down!"

Ye Sanniang asked:

"You want it faster?"

Zhao Rang nodded.

Ye Sanniang picked up another potato and put it on the chopping board.

Different from before, this time she cut very slowly...

If Zhao Rang hadn't concentrated and stared at the blade of the kitchen knife, he could hardly see the movement of the blade!

But the potato slices were still peeling off bit by bit, which proved that the kitchen knife in Ye Sanniang's hand was still moving, but at an incredibly slow speed!

"I understand, what you're saying is that if you want to be faster, you have to learn to be slower?"

Zhao Rang asked.

"Um?"

Ye Sanniang didn't seem to understand what Zhao Rang was saying.

"Didn't you just tell me how to practice knife training by cutting potatoes?"

Zhao Rang said in great surprise.

"No! I cut it slowly just now because there is a sprout on this piece of potato! If it is not cut cleanly, it will be poisonous! I cut it very slowly to see it clearly!"

Zhao Rang was speechless...

He thought that Ye Sanniang was unwilling to teach because she was afraid of being suspected of being a master and disciple, so she used the method of cutting potatoes to enlighten him. How much you can learn from it depends entirely on your personal understanding!

In this way, there is no one to teach and no one to learn, so naturally they are not considered masters and disciples.

I can only blame myself for thinking too much... This is the second extremely embarrassing moment for Zhao Rang after he reunited with Ye Sanniang!

"You want the knife to be faster!"

Just as Zhao Rang turned around, Ye Sanniang asked again.

"Yeah, but you won't teach me!"

Ye Sanniang inserted the kitchen knife into the vegetable pile with a "dong" sound, put her hands on her hips, and said:

"The method of provoking generals doesn't work on me!"

Then the conversation changed and he said:

"But if you feel that the knife is not fast enough, you can start over from the beginning!"

Zhao Rang asked puzzledly:

"Start from scratch?"

Ye Sanniang nodded:

"I don't know how you Zhao family started practicing swordsmanship. Anyway, every time I encounter a bottleneck, I will start from the beginning."

"If it doesn't work once, just try it a few more times. Once it comes, it will pass!"
