Chapter 347: Ordinary Life
Duan Yunfei walked under a big tree, leaned against it, and looked at her, saying, "Repeat the move you used against the Second Elder today."Shen Qinglan nodded, drew her sword, and performed the move she used earlier today once more.
Duan Yunfei pondered for a moment before pointing out the flaws, "The move is somewhat weak; the sword stroke is not smooth, even weaker than during the fight."
He advised solemnly, "Don’t hesitate when striking, be decisive, it’s best if you can execute it all at once. Try again."
Shen Qinglan nodded and performed the move again.
Duan Yunfei slightly nodded, "Much improved from before!"
He furrowed his brow and pondered, "I’ve noticed a significant issue."
"What issue?" Shen Qinglan sheathed her sword and looked at him, puzzled.
Duan Yunfei said, "I’ve noticed that you can’t seem to unleash that sharp aura unless you’re in a dangerous situation."
Shen Qinglan was taken aback, "Is that so?"
Duan Yunfei sighed lightly, "Your potential might only be discovered in desperate situations. If the opportunity arises, go to the Netherworld Valley for training; you should be able to uncover more of your potential."
"Netherworld Valley?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes!" Duan Yunfei said, "There’s a valley behind the manor, where beasts roam at night. It’s used by the manor for training Death Warriors, but..."
He slightly raised his lips, "I can’t bear to let you suffer in such a place!"
Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "If you can’t bear it, why bring it up?"
Duan Yunfei laughed lightly, "I mention it so my beloved can know a bit about the terrain of Yongning Manor beforehand."
Shen Qinglan glanced at him indifferently and said in a low voice, "No need."
Duan Yunfei stepped closer, closing the distance between them, before asking with a smile, "Are you returning to Lishui Village tomorrow morning?"
"Mm."
Shen Qinglan responded softly, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her face.
"Why ask?" She glanced at him.
"Nothing, just asking."
Duan Yunfei tilted his head slightly, his lips curled as his long eyes smiled gently at her, remaining silent for a long time.
He had never felt like this before, realizing that plain days could also be so enjoyable.
Erasing all the grudges from Jianghu, having a lover by his side, and finding a peaceful place to live the days of working from sunrise to sunset would be even more perfect.
Shen Qinglan paused her wiping, looking at him suspiciously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You’re beautiful!"
"Like an idiot!"
After the teasing, even Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but laugh softly.
"Sit for a while, I’ll come back after washing up."
"Alright!"
After Duan Yunfei responded, he easily entered the East Wing, pulled over a chair, and sat by the window.
Outside the room was quiet, occasionally a breeze passed, blowing a few yellow leaves.

In the afternoon, Luo Jing and Madam Xuan asked Xuan Ming to call Shen Qinglan over to accompany them for a visit to Madam Song.
When Xuan Ming entered, Duan Yunfei was looking at the Chapter of Journey to the West that hadn’t been spoken, while Shen Qinglan rested with her eyes closed on the side, whether asleep or just resting was unknown.
"Young Master, Madam is looking for Miss Shen!"
Xuan Ming couldn’t help but lighten his steps, and even his voice involuntarily softened a lot.
Just as Duan Yunfei made a silencing gesture, Shen Qinglan had already opened her eyes.
She had always been a light sleeper, waking up early when Xuan Ming approached the door, just not opening her eyes.
"Is it Aunt looking for me?"
She sat up straight, stretched, and asked.
"Mm!" Duan Yunfei said, "It should be about going to the Song Mansion."
