The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter 21: The Starting Point

Jiang Shuxuan wiped his hands and handed the towel to Madam Zhang, before turning towards Gu Xiqiao slowly. His eyebrows were very long and slightly curved upwards, and his cold gaze made it difficult to maintain eye contact with him. At this moment, one could see the teary light rippling in his eyes which made his eyes even more alluring.

“You go upstairs first and stay. No need to worry about your family. ” He knew this was a bit inappropriate, but he was too worried about putting it in the hands of the Gu family again. He had no one to pick him up after school, and even the servants looked at him with disdain, no matter how much he had suffered on the glamorous palace walls. To top it all off, this continued like nothing was wrong.

It was fine if he did not see everything, but he saw it, and not just once.

Right now, that skinny and weak girl was standing before him. Does it weigh even seventy pounds?

Jiang Shuxuan frowned involuntarily.

Gu Xiqiao touched his nose timidly and seemed to want to speak before he was stopped by Jiang Shuxuan. “Put your stuff upstairs, it's the same room. Madam Zhang has cleaned it every day. “

Ah, so he can't resist? Gu Xiqiao rubbed his head gently as he walked up.

She had eaten a lot that night, but not because***** was high, but because Madam Zhang had cooked a pot of special nutritious soup for her. Under Jiang Shuxuan's oppressive gaze, he drank three bowls of soup before he was completely full.

She has many daily missions that she has to attend — Practice writing, exercising, and even taking the time to learn how to paint and paint oil paints as well.

There is no difference between day and night in a virtual room.

Gu Xiqiao sat there in the endless void with a rectangular wooden table in front of him. He held the calligraphy brush with three fingers and wrote slowly, not daring to slack off even with just a simple horizontal stroke.

His brush strokes were very smooth and fluid, and when he pulled the brush, he pressed the brush slightly, before lifting and retracting the brush.

Although he wrote slowly, he never rested until the sound of the system spirit rang out, putting a calligraphy brush on the table and closing his eyes to rest for a moment. Then, the calligraphy material disappeared, replaced with oil paint, horses, and canvas.

“System, you don't need to remind me of the time. I want to practice oil painting, it's been a while. ”

[Alright, but please remember to rest.]

The system was worried that his host would not work hard enough, but after a week of contact, it was feared he was working too hard. It had told him to get enough rest, but he had always held on until his mental strength was damaged from being overused.

Every time he came out as pale as a bedsheet, it made the system spirit feel guilty, but if Gu Xiqiao did not work hard, how could he handle the final mission?

So in the end, he didn't speak up.

After he completed his daily mission, he rested for a while in the virtual room before opening the weathered old book that the system had given him. The book begins with a difficult sentence to understand: “No bursts of three outer treasures (ears, eyes, mouth), three inner treasures stand alone, and only then will the heavenly understanding begin. Xiantian inhaled one strand of natural energy and absorbed it. “.

“I have seen many old scrolls, but I have never seen one so difficult to understand.” Gu Xiqiao threw the book to one side and rubbed his temple.

[Beauty Qiao, I have a note here that you can use to understand this book, and I've designed an exercise program for you too! You are just starting to learn so there is no need to be liquid, just follow the movements shown. Sooner or later, they will become natural to you!]

First, Gu Xiqiao followed the initial movements of the Five Beasts Game, then began to examine the ancient martial arts book.

[Cooperate your mind with your breath. As you inhale, feel the breath being drawn through the Guan Yuan acupuncture point, then feel it from the left palm to the right, before extending into the sky above you for an infinite distance. As you exhale, feel the breath descending from the sky and through the right palm to the left, and descend to the Guan Yuan acupuncture point again.]

After following the schedule created by the system, Gu Xiqiao came out of the virtual room and lay on his bed for an hour before taking a bath.

That night, he tried to meditate and feel his Chi.

Then, he put on sports clothes and ran out for half an hour, before following the movements of the Five Animals Game which the system thought was accurate but not soulless.

When he arrived back at the mansion, Jiang Shuxuan was already at the dining table.

Good morning, Brother Jiang.

“Out for a run?” Jiang Shuxuan put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at him.

Gu Xiqiao nodded, then walked upstairs to take a short shower, and when he came back down, Madam Zhang had already prepared breakfast. He sat down at the dinner table and started biting on a piece of pancake slowly.

Breakfast is not complicated: Eggs, pancakes, porridge, and some side dishes.

There was a lot prepared, so Gu Xiqiao only ate a little because he did not****dining. He had never eaten much either in the Gu family, so he had not eaten too much this time either.

Jiang Shuxuan looked at him and furrowed his brows slightly, before telling Madam Zhang to fetch him a bottle of milk.

Gu Xiqiao took the milk from Madam Zhang and glanced towards Jiang Shuxuan who was practically staring at him with a dagger, making him finish the milk bottle in a few gulps.

“Susu is good for growing taller.” Seeing him finish his milk bottle, Jiang Shuxuan refocused on his food while explaining, “Ny. Zhang said you're malnourished, but I don't think that's all. You're eighteen, aren't you? Why are you so short? ”

Gu Xiqiao coughed, almost choking on his charges. Did he say he was short? Pretty unbearable!

“I just haven't experienced any growth spurt yet!”

Jiang Shuxuan stopped his chopsticks again and looked back at him with a faint smile. “My niece is high school and her height is 171 cm.”

171 Cm at such a young age, did his nephew experience an early growth spurt?

“You don't understand, my puberty came later in my life.” He had grown to 168 cm in his previous life, so there was still room to grow.

“I saw.” Jiang Shuxuan looked at him doubtfully.

Gu Xiqiao changed the topic after seeing her reaction. “So... Have you been in trouble lately?”

Jiang Shuxuan put the egg he had peeled into his bowl. “No, I haven't.”

“Hey, don't underestimate me, I know more than you think! You should return to Jing Capital now. ” As Gu Xiqiao chewed on his eggs, he tilted his head and looked at him, advising him seriously. According to the system, the person he had chased after the previous night had already fled to Jing Capital.

‘Go to Jing Capital? Where did you get it? ” Jiang Shuxuan kept eating porridge slowly, unaffected by his words.

I can predict the future.

Jiang Shuxuan looked at him disinterestedly. “Eat.”

A Beauty Qiao was a little depressed from being ignored like this, but again it was normal for her to do so. If a child were to talk to him like that, he would probably slap them.
