“Hidden weapons?”
When Yang Jie heard this, he was slightly stunned. When he reacted, he couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. “You’re used to thinking about strange things.”
Jian Ai chuckled and looked at Yang Jie as she asked, “Master, although those weapons are very powerful, we’re in a civilized society now. It’s not good to carry a saber or a sword out, right?”
Jian Ai had been thinking about what she wanted to learn a week ago.
The others learned different things. They had knives, spears, and sticks. There were many styles, but none of them interested Jian Ai.
Moreover, she had the ancient sect’s mental cultivation techniques, so there was not much use in learning weapons. Therefore, after thinking about it, hidden weapons seemed to be the most convenient and practical.
She could carry a few hidden weapons to protect herself and also avoid using mental cultivation techniques in front of others. It was killing two birds with one stone.
However, ideals were voluptuous, but reality was otherwise.
Because Yang Jie did not know how to use hidden weapons.
“Longxing Martial Arts School has never had a disciple who learned hidden weapons, so I don’t know as well,” Yang Jie said calmly.
Jian Ai’s smile froze, and she could not help but feel disappointed. This was something she had thought about for a few days.
“Alright then…” Jian Ai felt that her wish had failed and was not in the mood. She could only play with the other weapons in the martial arts school. She could not possibly walk out with a big knife at her waist.
To put it bluntly, other weapons were not of much use to her.
Seeing this, Yang Jie seemed to have thought of something and stood up. “Wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”
Ten minutes later, Yang Jie returned to the main hall with a book in his hand.
The book was about five centimeters thick. The cover was blue and looked very old. It must be quite old.
Dust fell on the side of the pages. Yang Jie shook it off before handing the book to Jian Ai.
Jian Ai received it with a suspicious expression and heard Yang Jie’s voice. “I found this book a few years ago when I was tidying the books. It was under a box in the corner of the study room.”
“If you’re interested in hidden weapons, you might as well take this back and study them. Anyway, I don’t know how to teach you.”
Jian Ai listened, and her gaze landed on the book with a blue cover.
The words “Sect’s Hidden Weapons” came into view.
Joy filled Jian Ai’s face, and she was instantly interested. She casually flipped through it.
The words on it were traditional Chinese characters. Someone from a long time ago left it behind, probably. At the front were some basic training methods for hidden weapons. The more she read, the brighter Jian Ai’s eyes became.
This was because she realized that the latter half of the “Sect’s Hidden Weapons” contained composition diagrams and production methods of some exquisite hidden weapons.
These things looked complicated and refined, like something people from the ancient martial arts era would use.
“Master, can I take this book back and read it?” Jian Ai was clearly delighted. As she spoke, her starry eyes flickered.
Yang Jie nodded with a faint smile. “I don’t know if it was my ancestors who had left behind such a book. However, in my memory, no one had used hidden weapons in Longxing. When I discovered this book, I was also very surprised. If you didn’t suddenly mention learning hidden weapons today, I’m afraid I would have forgotten about this book.”
“If you like it, I’ll give this book to you. Whether you can learn it without a teacher, that will depend on your abilities.”
Jian Ai quickly nodded and agreed. “Thank you, Master. I like it very much.”
