Resolving the feud

As soon as Shen Liuzhen arrived at the martial arts training ground, he saw Xie Yuan holding a heavy sword in both hands, chopping down the wooden stakes used for practice.

She had cut half of the hard wooden stake as thick as a person's waist. She had been cutting it for who knows how long.

At first, the rhythm of her sword swing was normal, but then she slashed faster and faster, as if she was getting violent, and the sawdust fell down with a "clack".

Just when Shen Liuzhen was about to walk over and say hello to him, he saw her make a beautiful spin, and the heavy sword made a circle around her body, and hit the gap in the wooden stake with a "snap".

The wooden stake was completely broken, and a piece of wood flew over and hit the ground not far from him.

Shen Liuzhen's legs went weak instantly...

Before he realized why his legs were weak.

"A...A Yuan...the teacher called you to go home for dinner." He shouted towards Xie Yuan from a distance.

Xie Yuan had seen him a long time ago, so he was chopping so vigorously just now.

She came over dragging a heavy sword that was higher than her waist. The tip of the sword was sharpened on the ground, drawing clear ravines.

Shen Liuzhen suddenly felt that the place where he had been beaten this morning was in severe pain again. He involuntarily took two steps back and looked at him timidly.

Xie Yuan stood still, stared at Shen Liuzhen fiercely with a pair of red phoenix eyes, and shouted:

"Stop looking at me with such a pitiful look. Your tricks won't work with me. You'd better show it to my father!"

Shen Liuzhen took two steps back in fear, staring at the sword in her hand, fearing that Xie Yuan would be angry and kill him with the sword, so he stammered:

"A... A Yuan, I was wrong. I will never file a lawsuit against you again, nor will I try my best to trick you... Just calm down."

"Do you think I'm a fool? Will you believe your lies?" Xie Yuan said angrily.

Shen Liuzhen looked at Xie Yuan and was silent for a while, then whispered: "What I said is true. Let me tell you my truth."

He looked at Xie Yuan's face and saw that he was willing to listen. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Although Xie Yuan is a hands-on master like his father, one thing is great, that is, he is willing to tell you reason.

"Look...if I mess with you again, you will definitely no longer care about the constraints of the teacher and mistress. You will definitely beat me up like today, right?" Shen Liuzhen asked cautiously.

Xie Yuan frowned, raised the corners of his red eyes, looking extremely powerful, shook the epee in his hand and said: "Yes, I've had enough of you, I won't tolerate any more of you!"

"I know, look at how you beat me," he pointed to his injured face and said, "If I do bad things to you again, what good will it do to me?"

Xie Yuan stared at him and asked, "Is it possible that you benefited from being against me before? If you didn't get beaten by Master all the same, when did you take being beaten seriously? You are not afraid of pain, but others are afraid of pain!"

Shen Liuzhen tilted his head and said with some frustration: "How do you see that I am not afraid of pain anymore? I am also made of flesh, so why am I not afraid of pain?"

Xie Yuan didn't believe it and turned his head away with a "cut" sound.

Shen Liuzhen shook his body and said with some embarrassment: "You don't understand. The reason why I carried my father's beatings is because he always wanted me to practice martial arts. As long as I make him think that beating me is effective, then I will definitely do it in the future." I will continue to be beaten and there will never be peace, so I just carry it without saying a word. In fact, it hurts me. If I can avoid being beaten, who would think about being beaten?"

Shen Liuzhen spoke sincerely, with a look on his face that begged to be believed.

Xie Yuan looked at him in silence for a while, then finally let go and threw the sword to the ground, saying, "Tell my dad, I'm not hungry!"

After saying that, he turned around and sat down against the wall, and then...

A "gululu" sound came from her stomach at the right time, and it was unusually loud.

Xie Yuan's face suddenly turned red and she bit her lip bitterly. Tears were almost coming out of her aggrieved eyes. She raised her hands to cover her face, rested her elbows on her knees, and did not move anymore.

Shen Liuzhen saw that her hands covering her face were shaking a little. She was probably tired from chopping wood piles all morning...

Can you not be hungry?

He walked over slowly, followed Xie Yuan's example and sat down at the base of the wall, leaning against him and saying cautiously:

"A-Yuan, I'm serious...I will never file a lawsuit against you again."

He paused, then quickly waved his hand and added: "It's not because you beat me up, absolutely not! You know me, I never gave in even after being beaten like that by my father." This was said with a bit of concealment...

He softened his tone and said: "...I suddenly figured it out. If we file complaints against each other, it will hurt both sides and no one will be better off... Just like this time, if you beat me, your father will definitely beat you too." Dun, why bother?"

"Stop coming!" Xie Yuan put down his hand, turned his head and said angrily:

"Are I willing to file a lawsuit against you? There were several times when your father beat you because he didn't like you. What does that have to do with me? You came back to find trouble with me. When my father beat me, you stood by and stole Just pretend that I don’t know!"

Shen Liuzhen felt guilty when Xie Yuan's eyes looked at him, and he hesitated and said: "Then...then why does my father dislike me? Is it because you work too hard and don't flatter me?"

"Am I working too hard or are you too weak?! You blame me for being lazy and unwilling to contribute?!!!" Xie Yuanqi's eyes turned red, "Why don't you be lazy and memorize less books and write less words! Stop begging me. Daddy’s pleasure?!”

Her words were like a barrage of words, sharp and fast, but at the end her stomach growled unsatisfactorily for a while.

"Gululu..."

Shen Liuzhen glanced at his stomach unconsciously, and Xie Yuan quickly covered his stomach and looked ahead angrily without saying anything.

"This is my fault...I apologize to you. From now on, I will never complain to you again, and you don't complain to my father either, so that both of us can get beaten less. In fact, if you think about it, , my dad likes you, and your dad likes me, it’s actually fair between the two of us, there’s no need to be so stiff.”

Xie Yuan looked ahead with red eyes and still said nothing.

"Go back to eat, the teacher and the teacher's wife are very worried about you."

"I won't go! I won't accept the fifty bucks when I go back. I'd rather starve to death!" Xie Yuan said bitterly.

"I'm going to admit my mistake and plead for you, so the teacher won't beat you?...Look at my face, beaten like this by you, just treat it like I'm showing my sincerity first, how about the two of us settling the differences in the future? "

Xie Yuan's stomach growled again at the right time.

She was so hungry that she hadn't eaten since morning, and she spent the whole morning chopping with wooden stakes to vent her anger...

…

Shen Liuzhen finally took Xie Yuan... back to Xie's Mansion through the main entrance.

The two of them stood in front of Father Xie together.

Shen Liuzhen raised his face, opened a pair of innocent round eyes, and said pitifully:

"Teacher, it was my fault in this matter. I was caught slacking off and refused to obey the supervision. It was reasonable for him to want to beat me. Besides, we had agreed to compete, but in the end I refused to admit it because of my selfish betrayal.

Students should be punished, but if they get a beating from A Yuan, either...just...just pay it off."
