Chapter 51 He really is a genius!
Having said that, Chur gripped his sword tightly once more, this time with even greater speed than before. He took a single step and instantly surged forward.
He had trained countless times these past few days. He had mastered the Swift Ritual Sword technique to its fullest extent, instantly unleashing several sword techniques at Qiuhe.
As Qiuhe parried the attack, he was also completely bewildered, unable to understand when he had touched their captain. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I touch your captain?"
Hearing this, Chur became even angrier and angrily retorted, "Bastard! He did it and won't admit it, it makes me want to vomit!"
"Can't you speak properly? I have no idea what you're talking about. Is it a misunderstanding or something? Can't you explain yourself clearly?"
"I saw you hugging our captain after the game with my own eyes, what the hell are you pretending to have amnesia for?!"
Hearing this, Qiuhe finally understood. So it was because of that incident. But the problem was, it was their captain who had hugged him then, leaving Qiuhe speechless.
I hadn't even touched a hair on their captain's head. The whole scene looked like their captain was flirting with me.
"You idiot, can't you even think before you act?!" Qiuhe was also annoyed. After blocking Qiuer's sword technique, he instantly deflected it, gripped his sword tightly, and slashed at Qiuer with incredible speed.
The speed was so fast that it left afterimages. Qiuhe had no time to react before his sword was severed in two, the tip of the blade gliding along Qiuhe's neck as it was severed.
It instantly sliced a huge gash in the wall beside him, and a very shallow cut appeared on Chur's neck.
Qiuhe was afraid of accidentally killing him, so he didn't mix his own energy into the weapon, and accomplished all of this with just his strength.
Qiu Er was also stunned. This kind of strength, capable of cutting through iron like mud, was completely beyond his comprehension. How could a mere child possess such strength?
Qiuhe didn't hesitate for long. He threw a backhand left hook, the force of which was so great that it ripped the clothes on Qiuer's back.
Qiu'er spat out a mouthful of water and instantly fainted, his eyes rolling back. Qiu He's fist was still pressed against Qiu'er's stomach. "Qiu'er!" Just then, a girl and two boys ran over from the front.
Qiuhe recognized Qiu Shanshan and the other two members of her team. Qiuhe immediately threw Qiuer to the ground, and the three rushed over to check on Qiuer's condition.
Qiu Shanshan held Qiu Er and kept calling his name, "Qiu Er, Qiu Er," when Qiu He coldly spoke up from the side, "I didn't use my full strength, I just knocked him unconscious. We'll take him back to rest for a while."
Then Qiuhe walked away. Before leaving, he said, "Take him to get his head checked out when you have time. Don't let him bite people like a mad dog all day long."
After Qiu He left, Qiu Shanshan looked around and noticed a huge, deep crack in the wall, and a broken sword on the ground.
Qiu Shanshan recognized it as the Iron-Blade Dagger that Qiu Er had used. Looking at Qiu He in the distance, a bead of sweat trickled down her face.
Watching this fight scene, it's hard to imagine how Qiuhe could have been defeated so easily back then. The difference in strength between Qiu Shanshan and Qiu Er wasn't actually that great.
Although Qiu Er couldn't beat Qiu Shanshan, he shouldn't have lost so badly. Qiu He slowly knocked on Kujavina's door, "Mother, it's me, Le Yi."
Kujavina, hearing it was Leyi, slowly spoke, "Good child, come in." Qiuhe also slowly entered Kujavina's room.
"I'm so sorry, Mother. I was careless when I went out to play with everyone and accidentally fell off a cliff. I'm sorry to have worried you these past few days."
Kujavina swirled the red wine in her hand, took a sip, and finally smiled, then said, "It's alright, my good child, just be more careful next time. Don't be too playful, otherwise, if something happens again, your mother will be very worried."
As Qiuhe left Kujavina's room, he was still recalling the strange smile Kujavina had given him. "What was with that smile from Kujavina?"
"That smile wasn't a gentle smile, nor was it a hypocritical smile; it seemed to be a smile that saw through everything," Qiuhe thought, finally shaking his head.
"I shouldn't have given anything away, and Peruvelli didn't tell her about our fight against the Ironclad Molten Emperor. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."
Qiuhe realized that perhaps he had exhausted too much of his mental energy fighting the Ironclad Molten Emperor, which was why he was being paranoid, so he stopped thinking about it.
After finishing dinner with everyone, Qiuhe went to the backyard of the fireplace house to water his lily of the valley and also chatted with Kailu about his feelings.
Kailu was also practicing her swordplay in the backyard, counting "402. 403. 404. 405." Qiuhe sat beside her, watching Kailu practice.
By this time, Kailer was already drenched in sweat. Even Qiuhe, seeing her sweltering in the midday sun, felt exhausted. Thinking about Funina's birthday, Qiuhe sighed softly.
Hearing Qiuhe sigh, Kailer also stopped exercising and sat down next to Qiuhe to rest for a while. "Ever since you watered the lily of the valley, I've noticed you seem to have something on your mind."
"Although I'm focused on practicing my sword, I can still sense your worry. Has something happened?" Qiuhe replied helplessly.
"Sigh, it's a friend's birthday in a few days, but I don't know what to get him. I'm a bit troubled," Kailer said, wiping the sweat from his face and taking a sip of water.
"I don't know what to give. Is it because that friend doesn't need anything, or is it because you haven't thought of a good gift yet?"
"It's the former. He really has everything he needs; you could say he can get whatever he wants."
"Are you very rich?"
"I guess so. Anyway, he definitely has everything I have, and he definitely has everything I don't have. Sigh, in short, he doesn't lack anything."
"Seeing how lonely she usually is, and it's rare that my birthday falls on her birthday, I'm really troubled as to what to give her."
After listening, Kailer looked up at the sky and adjusted her glasses. "She lacks nothing, but she's very lonely. If she had a good friend to give her some care, companionship, and affection, she would probably be very happy."
Upon hearing this, Qiuhe felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind suddenly clearing up. He looked at Kaile with a very happy smile, and then immediately hugged her tightly.
"Kailo, you're simply a genius! No, you *are* a genius!" Qiuhe exclaimed excitedly, hugging Kailuo and shaking her repeatedly. "Alright, alright, if you keep shaking me like that, my glasses are going to fall off!"
Qiuhe had also thought of what to give Funina. If he cooked her a meal he had made himself, she would be very happy. As for a cake...
Qiuhe had decided to go and learn from Navia, but just as he was about to leave, he remembered something: Funina's birthday was a festival in the Land of Water.
Would she eat at home? Obviously not, and even if she ate out, the food would definitely be very luxurious.
Was my sincerity a bit too cheap? My newly ignited enthusiasm was instantly extinguished like a bucket of cold water, and I sank back down once more.
Kailer noticed Qiuhe's emotional change and said, "People who are often accompanied by loneliness are bound to feel sorrowful but not heartbroken. You could give her something that can soothe her mood, and perhaps something you made yourself."
Upon hearing this, Qiuhe's dark clouds instantly transformed into a rainbow, and he rushed out, shouting, "Thank you so much, Brother Kai! I will never forget your great kindness. There will be many days to come, and I am willing to serve you like a dog!"
Kailer watched Qiuhe leave, then silently turned her head back, took a sip of water, her glasses still gleaming. "Hmm... how many swings did I get to just now?"
