The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 86 Training (2)_1

"What’s wrong? How do I not look like it?" Situ Xin asked with a cocked head, revealing a cute smile.

"You just don’t look the part at all." Seeing Situ Xin act like any ordinary child, Liu Yuxiang felt even more convinced of her dissimilarity.

"Alright, enough joking around. Did you find the shooting range I mentioned last night?" In the next second, Situ Xin’s smile vanished, and she asked seriously. Once Situ Xin adopted this demeanor, Liu Yuxiang could finally reconcile the girl before him with his master.

"Everything’s been arranged, but Master, could you also make a gun for me?" Just before leaving this afternoon, he had seen a firearm in Xia Yujie’s possession. With one glance, he was captivated. After snatching the gun from Xia Yujie’s hands and examining it, he hadn’t tried it out, but with years of handling firearms under his belt, he could tell this one was advanced; it was ahead of any gun in the world in terms of performance.

He found it hard to return the gun to Xia Yujie, who was well aware of his preference. Before Liu Yuxiang could even ask, Xia Yujie had said that if it were an ordinary gun, he would have let him have it. Only after persistent questioning did Xia Yujie reveal the origin of the gun: it was a gift from his master.

When Situ Xin remained silent for a lengthy period, Liu Yuxiang thought she was unwilling, which somewhat dampened his spirits. However, to his surprise, Situ Xin casually replied, "Sure, I’ll give you one the day after tomorrow." Situ Xin had her own rationale; she knew that Liu Yuxiang would inevitably be involved in the decisive battle the day after next. And as her disciple, he would undoubtedly be called on to assist her in the future, so this favor was something she was willing to extend.

"Really, Master? You promise?" Liu Yuxiang turned with an excited look towards Situ Xin.

"Focus on driving, or you’ll lose it," Situ Xin threatened.

"Ah, don’t do that. I’ll concentrate on driving." For the sake of his gun, Liu Yuxiang began to drive with focused attention, which provided Situ Xin with a temporary reprieve from annoying chatter.

However, after just a short while, Liu Yuxiang began to inquire, "Master, where did you get this gun? It seems more advanced than anything on the market."

Upon hearing his question, Situ Xin knew he was quite knowledgeable about firearms. "I made it myself."

"You made it yourself?" Liu Yuxiang didn’t catch on immediately, but when he did, he braked sharply and brought the car to a stop. "You... you made it?"

The abrupt stop nearly sent Situ Xin’s forehead crashing into the back of the seat in front of her. "Yes, I made it. Do you have a problem with that? And Liu Yuxiang, if you don’t start driving properly and keep slamming on the brakes like this, I’m warning you, you’ll miss out on any good stuff in the future," Situ Xin declared. Internally, she decided that she’d better not talk to Liu Yuxiang while in the car, especially about topics that could be shocking.

"Master, my apologies, I won’t do it again."

When the trio arrived at the shooting range, Liu Yuxiang had specially booked their training field due to Situ Xin’s relationship with Xia Yujie, which slightly surprised Situ Xin. She realized that Liu Yuxiang’s background was probably not simple.

But since Liu Yuxiang currently posed no threat to her or her family, she didn’t dwell on it. She had more important things to handle. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Once at the shooting range, Situ Xin’s hands itched to shoot. She took out her gun, loaded it, and without any additional gear, took aim and fired. In an instant, before Liu Yuxiang and Xia Yujie could react, the bullet had been discharged, hitting the bullseye.

In her past life, Situ Xin was known for her impeccable marksmanship, hailed as a sharpshooter. And in this life, thanks to her cultivation, her eyesight and senses had improved. She hardly needed to aim now; a quick glance was enough to pinpoint the target.

"My God, Master, you’re incredible. What can’t you do?" From the day before to that moment, Liu Yuxiang had grown somewhat numb to such shocks. Had he not witnessed it himself, he would never believe such an extraordinary individual could exist. Of course, he dared only whisper such a term of astonishment internally, fearing what might happen if he said it out loud.

Situ Xin, on the other hand, seemed completely unaffected by Liu Yuxiang’s exclamation. She put her gun away and turned to Xia Yujie.

"Xia Yujie, try a round for me, use that gun I gave you," she said while taking out ten bullets from her bag. "Here, these are the bullets for that gun. Don’t worry, they’re specifically for practice." Situ Xin noticed Xia Yujie’s momentary hesitation and realized what he was thinking.

Xia Yujie adjusted his mindset, then put on protective glasses. "Take off the glasses. Would you wear them when facing an enemy?" Situ Xin commanded.

Obediently, Xia Yujie removed his glasses, took a deep breath, raised the gun, aimed, and fired. His aiming and shooting were very standard, though his speed was no match for Situ Xin’s.

Xia Yujie’s result wasn’t bad, with a score of ninety out of a possible hundred, but Situ Xin was not satisfied with this outcome—not just the score but, more importantly, Xia Yujie’s speed.

"In a competition, taking your time to aim and shoot each bullet might be fine. But Xia Yujie, you’re not facing a competition, you’re preparing for real combat. You’ll be using that gun in your hands to avenge your father," she said.

"Liu Yuxiang, you try a round," Situ Xin said with furrowed brows.

"Sure thing, but Master, can I use your gun?" Liu Yuxiang had been longing for Situ Xin’s gun for a while now.

"Take it." Situ Xin tossed her gun to Liu Yuxiang as if it were nothing.

"Thanks!" After receiving the gun, Liu Yuxiang studied it fondly, then said, "Master, your gun is even better than the one Ah Jie has."

"Alright, let’s get on with it. Just so you know, if your result is too poor, you can kiss your gun goodbye," Situ Xin said with a smile, yet her expression made Liu Yuxiang shudder.

"Master, don’t worry, I certainly won’t let you down." The once cheerful Liu Yuxiang turned serious as he faced about, lifting the gun in his hands.
