Chapter 137 Making Friends
In this kind of situation, he is even less likely to do it.
Embarrassed, he heard Qin Shuang’s voice in the carriage: “Let him in.”
“Shing!”
Xiu Niang and the others put away their long swords, in their minds they secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Facing Qin Lie, they have great pressure in their hearts. Even Xiu Niang can not be sure, if they confront Qin Lie whether she can withstand that pressure, and hold her sword steady in her hand.
Qin Lie heard and his heart became loose, pulling the door open and jumping in, the door slams closed. The carriage is under the protection of Xiu Niang and the other warriors, heading for Tianqin City. Behind Zhou Haoran looks at the carriage gradually moving away…
As soon as Qin Lie entered the carriage, he saw that there were already four people inside the carriage. In the middle of the carriage there is a small table. Qin Shuang, Lan Ming Yue and a strange man are sitting around the table. Qin Yunxia is aside attending to them.
“Qin xiong* please sit down!” Qin Shuang smiled and greeted him.
If this was before, Qin Lie would simply pay no attention to her. Even taking notice of her he would be very perfunctory. But now, he seriously answers back:
“Thank you!”
Just sat down, then he heard Lan Ming Yue’s annoying voice again: “Hurry up and call Master ah!”
Qin Lie’s complexion, which had just recovered, flushed red again, gnashing his teeth and cupping his fists towards Qin Shuang he said:
“Master…”
“Wait!”
Qin Shuang raises her hand to stop Qin Lie, she is not as narcissistic and provoking as Lan Ming Yue. If today she really allows Qin Lie to call her master, perhaps Qin Lie will not bear a grudge, but he will stay far away from her, avoiding her because of embarrassment. That means it’s likely to be friends, but you’ve lost your chance for a great opportunity.
Most likely, when Qin Lie’s father, Qin Zheng, finds out about it, there is a great possibility that he would send someone to kill Qin Shuang so his son wouldn’t be embarrassed.
With Qin Shuang’s experience how could she do such a thing? So she stopped Qin Lie in time, and there is an elegant smile on her face:
“It’s just a joke, Qin xiong doesn’t need to be concerned!”
“This…” Qin Lie’s face reveals a hint of hesitation. He is originally a man of great character, and as the prince of the Daqin Empire, he has developed the habit of a promise being worth one thousand in gold*. At this point let him eat his own words, he really cannot pull this face. Especially in front of Lan Ming Yue, this bad friend.
“A brief remark is hard to seek! Master…”
“Qin xiong!” Qin Shuang interrupts Qin Lie again: “If I were your master, then shouldn’t you listen to Master?”
“Yes!” Qin Lie’s face is red again.
“That’s good!” Qin Shuang claps both her hands and says: “Today I will drive you out of the door, afterwards you and I are brother and sister, how?”
Qin Lie’s eyes appear grateful, towards Qin Shuang he cups his fists and said: “Many Thanks!”
“How can this be…” On the side Lan Ming Yue who has been anticipating a lively scene is unwilling.
“Shut up!” Qin Shuang lowly cried.
The look of Lan Ming Yue’s face is unpleasant. Qin Shuang yelled at him in front of Qin Lie’s face like this, he felt a bit upset. You must know that he is a proud and narcissistic person. Qin Shuang saw Lan Ming Yue’s expression, and she sighed in her heart. Its not good for Lan Ming Yue to lose face in front of Qin Lie, so she gently said:
“Ming Yue, don’t make a fuss!”
The face of Lan Ming Yue is still a little stiff, but his tone has eased:
“Looking at Aunt Liu’s face, I won’t bicker with you!”
A smile appeared on the face of Qin Shuang: “Yes. You don’t have to bicker with me.”
“Humph, its good that you know!” After saying this, he slanted a glance at Qin Lie and said: “Cheap for you.”
Hearing the words “Aunt Liu” in his mouth, Qin Lie knew that he had misunderstood Lan Ming Yue, he must not be greedy for Qin Shuang’s beauty, there must be a story between them, he asked:
“You two?”
Lan Ming Yue flung his sleeves and opened his mouth: “Liu Aunt you have seen before, its my father’s good friend Liu Meiruo.”
Qin Lie heard and his eyes narrowed, in his mind he quickly recalled, and then Liu Meiruo’s appearance came before his eyes. He remembers seeing Liu Meiruo twice in Lan Ming Yue’s mansion, Liu Meiruo was already a Martial God. But Liu Meiruo did not speak to him. He is aware of the relationship between Liu Meiruo and Lan Linfeng, he secretly thought, no wonder the always narcissistic Lan Ming Yue is so caring to Qin Shuang, originally Qin Shuang and Liu Meiruo have a relationship. And at this time he heard Lan Ming Yue:
“Let me introduce you. This is the sole disciple of Aunt Liu, the seventh princess of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, Qin Shuang. This arrogant fellow is Qin Lie, the prince of the Daqin Empire.”
“I’ve seen Your Highness the Prince!” Qin Shuang cups her fists towards him.
Qin Lie hurriedly waves his hand: “Qin Shuang, I won’t call you princess, and you won’t call me prince. Just call me by my name, okay?”
Of course Qin Shuang is willing. If in accordance with court etiquette, Qin Shuang this small country princess when seeing the Imperial Prince she would have to kneel. Now we have all abandoned our identities, associating as friends, this is naturally what Qin Shuang wants. She once again cups her fists:
“Meeting Qin xiong!”
“Meeting Shuang’er meimei!” Qin Lie also cups his fists. Then the two look at each other and laugh. Qin Shuang gestures her hand to Tianci:
“Qin xiong, I will introduce you, this is my childhood friend, Tianqin City’s Wuzong Temple branch Lord, Tianci.”
Tianci’s repair is low, but his background is very large. Unlike the background of Qin Shuang, associated with the Daqin Empire, the background of Tianci belongs to that of the transcendent Wuzong Temple. So in front of Qin Lie Tianci is unrestrained, cupping his fists towards him and saying:
“Qin xiong!”
When Qin Lie heard that Tianci is the branch Lord of Wuzong Temple, he dare not put on airs, he also cups his fists respectfully, saying:
“Brother Tianci.”
After introductions, four people casually chat. Qin Shuang did not return to the Spirit Pattern Association, but came to a residence Xiu Niang rented out near the Spirit Pattern Association. Four people went into the living room, Qin Yunxia and the others deliver tea and fruit. Qin Lie has been holding back, and now he finally can’t help but look at Qin Shuang and ask:
“Shuang’er meimei, how did you know where the flaw was in my Violet Dragon Roar?”
Early on Qin Shuang knew that he must have this question, so she smiled and said: “Whether there is a flaw in the Violet Dragon Roar I can not see, I just saw that in the fourth and the fifth change you were not proficient enough, there is a momentary pause.”
Qin Lie’s heart is loose, there is no problem with the Violet Dragon Roar, its merely that he hasn’t mastered the skill. Immediately he gave a thumbs-up toward Qin Shuang:
“Good eye power!” The words fell, and he seriously asked: “Does Shuang’er meimei possess the Divine Martial Eye?”
Terms:
(1*) Qin xiōng- Elder brother Qin
(2*) 一诺千金 yī nuò qiān jīn -A promise is worth one thousand in gold (idiom); a promise that must be kept
(3) Meimei- Younger sister; little sister
When it refers to changes in the martial arts moves it could also mean- transformations, styles, moves, variations, techniques, skills, etc.
Later on I might just put all the Chinese honorifics in english, its easier and I prefer it.
