Plotting with You: The Forensic Scientist in Ancient Times!-Chapter 250 - 249: Proper Techniques

This... doesn’t seem right???

Zhu Yu had a moment of brain freeze, and her thoughts were no longer clear.

What Lu Qing just demonstrated should have been a serious move... right...?

Clearly, there was such a murderous aura just now, how come in the blink of an eye, her waist was held by him, pressed against his chest, but her upper body, due to his hand on her chin, leaned slightly backward, she couldn’t even stand straight, and could only watch as Lu Qing leaned in closer.

She could clearly feel his breath on her face, and the posture was really quite suggestive.

There was Yan Daoxin nearby too...

Luckily, in the next second, Lu Qing let go of the hand lightly pinching Zhu Yu’s chin and helped straighten her body.

First thing Zhu Yu did was glance towards Yan Daoxin, and sure enough, he had stopped wielding his sword and was holding it in his arms, grinning and watching them intently.

Zhu Yu felt as if her face was uncontrollably heating up.

"I... felt short of breath just now..." Zhu Yu blurted out to Yan Daoxin, and then immediately regretted it, realizing she had just stated the obvious.

"Hehehe, right, right, I know, I know." Yan Daoxin winked and nodded with a grin, "Otherwise, why would a couple be flirting early in the morning... right..."

Lu Qing gave Yan Daoxin a glare and said to Zhu Yu, "Ignore him, if you find him annoying, I can just blind him for you."

"Hey, you really are vicious!" Yan Daoxin jumped back exaggeratedly, pointing a finger at Lu Qing, "Careful not to provoke me, lest I poison you beyond redemption..."

Lu Qing flicked a small stone on the ground with his toe towards Yan Daoxin, who dodged quickly, and the small stone, with a snap, embedded itself into a large stone behind him.

"Tsk tsk tsk... using such force..." Yan Daoxin looked back and shook his head in resignation, "Relax, even if I find you annoying sometimes, I have no vendetta with Zhu Yu, and wouldn’t cause her trouble!"

After speaking, he pretended to leave with a grin but was called back by Lu Qing, who told him to stand aside.

"That move just now is called Cloud Dragon Offering Claw."

Come on, use that move on me," Lu Qing signaled to Zhu Yu after setting up Yan Daoxin.

Zhu Yu quickly collected herself and recalled Lu Qing’s movements. When he reached out to her, she climbed up his arm, intending to pin it behind his back.

But she had used all her strength, and still couldn’t move him an inch.

"Do you understand what I meant now?" Lu Qing wasn’t surprised by this result, "No matter how powerful a move is, it needs absolute strength as its support.

When you’re at a disadvantage in strength, the only recourse is to attack unexpectedly and target the weak points, skillfully breaking the bones to escape and defend."

As he spoke, he motioned for Yan Daoxin to strike. Yan Daoxin immediately reached out, and Lu Qing sidestepped, grasping Yan Daoxin’s wrists, and applied a shoulder strike to the outside of his elbow.

"If I exerted force just now, this arm would have broken," Lu Qing released Yan Daoxin’s arm and signaled for him to try again, "I’ll demonstrate another move—Woodcutter Carrying Firewood."

Zhu Yu watched Lu Qing’s movements carefully, memorizing the key points in her mind.

"You don’t need me to teach you which bones in the body are more fragile," after teaching several ways to break free from restraint, Lu Qing took hold of Yan Daoxin and said to Zhu Yu, "Including the key points on a person’s body that are easier to target, you probably don’t need me to elaborate either.

Let’s learn another move—’Chang’e Brushing Sleeve’."

Before he could make a move, Yan Daoxin’s face changed, and he jumped to the side immediately: "Shoo, shoo!

You’re really unscrupulous! Teaching martial arts, and it’s either targeting the top three paths or attacking the bottom three roads!

Can’t you teach something more respectable?"

"What else then?" Lu Qing countered, "Some learn martial arts to go to battle, facing opponents of equal skill, needing a solid foundation and talking about martial virtues.

But Zhu Yu needs self-defense, to guard against the sneak attacks of those with ill intentions.

Anyone who strikes at a woman is already lacking virtue, and there’s no need for pretenses about dignity during such times; quick escape and defense are what’s most important."

"Hmm... if you say so, then you’re right," Yan Daoxin thought and agreed, "Zhu Yu, I’ll later give you some sedatives and antidote elixir pills, carry them with you for emergencies!"

"Hmm... hmm?" Zhu Yu was still mentally reviewing the move "White Horse Gallops Hooves" that Lu Qing had demonstrated so she didn’t pay attention to what Yan Daoxin said to her, and only responded absent-mindedly after a while.

Yan Daoxin laughed till he was hunched over, patting Lu Qing’s shoulder: "You old fellow, teaching your wife so many ruthless moves, better hope for the best, lest you anger her and have them used on you!"

"Relax, I won’t do anything to invite trouble," Lu Qing confidently shook his head.

Zhu Yu was recalling and demonstrating the moves Lu Qing taught her, then caught a glimpse of Yan Shu standing by the door, peeking out and watching them, seemingly for quite a while, with a faint sense of loneliness in her eyes.

She quickly turned to give Lu Qing a hint, saying, "I’d like to call it a day for practice."

Lu Qing nodded, "Alright, I’ll have breakfast sent over later, and you can chat while you eat.

I’ll go find your father later to ask about that batch of weapons."

Zhu Yu responded and then turned to walk toward Yan Shu.

Yan Shu saw her coming and didn’t avoid her or run away, instead sighed with some grievance.

"What’s wrong with you? Sighing so early in the morning, is your ankle injury hurting too much?" Zhu Yu asked her, "Let me help you inside to sit down, you shouldn’t be standing, try not to move that injured leg."

Yan Shu waved her hand: "I’m not that delicate, I can go in and sit myself."

Having said that, she hopped to the table on one leg and sat down, propping her injured leg on a stool: "Is this okay?"

"Okay." Seeing her being straightforward and unpretentious, Zhu Yu also relaxed a lot, closed the door, and sat down by the table, "What was up with you? Why were you sighing?"

"Nothing, just kind of envy you," Yan Shu propped her chin and sighed again, "Watching your man speak to you so politely and being so considerate, I just thought, if only Lu Zhang respected me a bit, I wouldn’t have run away in anger."
