The Seventeenth Princess listened, her eyes wide, and instinctively shook her head, realizing it was so tough. Breaking skin to see blood, just the sound of it was terrifying!
She said, "Since it's so hard, how did you manage to keep going?"
Xia Wenjin replied calmly, "Growing up in the countryside, we're half-Jianghu folks, this kind of hardship is nothing."
The Seventeenth Princess saw her speak so lightly, and her gaze towards her became even more bright, with a hint of admiration in it.
Such hardship, yet she could practice so well, how much effort that must have taken!
She remembered sneaking out of the palace last time and seeing the street performers, reportedly Jianghu people, they were clearly not well-dressed, and the environment was poor, yet each of them was full of spirit.
It's just like when she was young, seeing the demeanor of her Fifth Imperial Brother and Fifth Imperial Sister-in-law.
