Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: Lately... You’ve been free?

Although the matriarch of his household was a bit fierce on regular days, he had always thought that she relied on her medical skills and was, fundamentally, a lady too delicate to withstand the wind.

But now...

What was he seeing? His family’s matriarch was wielding the Wind Spirit Whip, swinging it just like a broadsword, with no hint of finesse at all.

"You think it’s impossible?"

Sui Zimo just raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at Zhe Jue.

Upon hearing this, Zhe Jue turned his head to look in the other direction, where the pitiable Jiang Li was covering his face, drenched in cold sweat.

That was because just a moment ago, Jiang Li hadn’t been quick enough to retreat and had been hit by his family matriarch’s Wind Spirit Whip, slashing a bloody mark across his face, scaring him to the point that he immediately fled to their palace lord’s side for shelter.

"This subordinate believes... Miss Lin practicing the Ten Thousand Bones Whip Technique is quite appropriate," he said with a swallow, insincerely.

God knows, if it wasn’t for the terrifying aura emanating from their prince, which gave the impression that if he dared to utter a word of dissent, his head would be twisted off and used as a ball, he wouldn’t dare express his true opinion.

He also dared not.

"Hmm."

Sui Zimo nodded in agreement, continuing to watch Lin Caisang with his doting gaze.

"Your Highness, why do you insist on having Miss Lin practice the Ten Thousand Bones Whip Technique? Unlike other whip techniques, this one requires a very solid foundation to master. But Miss Lin’s...

Zhe Jue still didn’t understand.

His family’s matriarch was still getting the hang of the Ten Thousand Bones Whip Technique. Even just casually swinging the Wind Spirit Whip had already scared everyone away from the courtyard.

When other young ladies wielded a whip, it was a beautiful sight to behold, but his family’s matriarch... was simply too terrifying!

"How about this subordinate collects a few sets of relatively milder whip techniques?" he suggested.

With the force his family’s matriarch swung her whip, if she really practiced the Ten Thousand Bones Whip Technique, he feared the courtyard itself might collapse. Other whip techniques could be an option, right?

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing his words, Sui Zimo narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze toward him.

"Zhe Jue, have you been idle lately?" he asked ominously.

"No, your subordinate is very busy."

Zhe Jue instinctively shook his head; when their prince asked him this, it certainly wasn’t for anything good.

It must be because his suggestion just now had annoyed their prince, and now, the prince wanted to punish him in various ways!

"Your Highness..."

"It’s settled then. All your duties will be handed over to Jiang Li," Sui Zimo said, interrupting Zhe Jue before he could speak further.

"Starting from today, you will practice the Ten Thousand Bones Whip Technique exclusively with Sang’er. Considering Sang’er’s aptitude, she should be able to learn it in half a year’s time."

"What?!"

Zhe Jue was thoroughly horrified upon hearing this.

He was to practice the Ten Thousand Bones Whip Technique with the matriarch? He glanced sideways, taking another look at Jiang Li beside him.

The prince might as well just say they were short of someone to take beatings; why make it sound so nice?

Half a year meant he was slated to endure being whipped by the matriarch’s side for half a year! How could he handle this? It’d be better just to die!

"Brother Molian, why won’t this Wind Spirit Whip obey me?"

Just as Zhe Jue was about to struggle further, he heard Lin Caisang’s voice. Turning his head, he saw her walking towards their own prince.

He quickly and tactfully moved aside, joining Jiang Li as they left together.

...

"Jiang Li, tell me, why am I so unlucky?"
