A young voice pretending to be mature sounded from beside Lin Xin.
Lin Xin turned his face and saw a handsome young man living opposite him.
This little guy was dressed in bright red clothes with gold trim, and his hands were clasped behind his back, like a little adult.
"Where are your brothers and sisters?" Lin Xin knew that he was a son of a wealthy family who followed his brothers and sisters to visit relatives in Zhongfu.
This little guy is very popular with his family. The biggest reason for going to Zhongfu this time is to find a suitable teacher for him to guide him in his studies and practice.
However, the young master seemed to be very dissatisfied with his family's arrangements and planned to rise up to resist. There were also a few gentlemen on the boat along the way, but they were all more or less contacted by this little guy.
Obviously, he plans to find a suitable husband of his own choice instead of following the arrangements of his family.
Lin Xin is different from those gentlemen. He is not very eloquent. He is just quiet and does not take the initiative to speak. In addition, his clothes are not conspicuous. If he didn't live opposite the young master, maybe the little guy might not think of coming over to see Lin Xin.
new.
That's why I put off looking for him until the end.
"My brother and sister went to eat delicious food. Sir, you also went to Dongfu to find something to do?" The young master is cautious but not young. He is really a bit mature and precocious. A pair of small eyes kept scanning Lin Xin.
"What do you think?" Lin Xin smiled and answered.
"I guess so!" the little guy affirmed.
"In today's world, the Central Government is in chaos. It is indeed a wise move for you, sir, to choose me to make a living in the East Government."
"Still today?" Lin Xin couldn't help but smile. "How old are you this year? Can you eat and sleep by yourself?"
The young master's face suddenly turned red.
"Sir, why do you say this? Don't you know that there are talented people in ancient and modern times?"
"Little guy, you do have a trick."
Lin Xin reached out and pinched the young master's face. It was as plump as ice-cold jelly. It felt good to the touch.
"A man's face is not meant to be touched!" The young master blushed and took a few steps back, saying angrily. "Sir, how would you feel if someone touched your face like this?"
Some passengers around also saw the two talking and couldn't help laughing when they heard this sentence.
"The little guy is quite funny. How can he still be a man at such a young age?"
"She is very articulate."
"You're so big, you're just a little kid, do you really think you've grown up?"
A group of people laughed one after another.
But Lin Xin didn't laugh. Instead, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it seriously.
"Well, I was too abrupt about this."
The other party did not know his identity, but on the surface it seemed that this young master had a good upbringing and did not like to use his power to force others. If he were a young master from a rich family and his face was pulled, he would be beaten and killed in the blink of an eye.
"I apologize for randomly grabbing your face before." Lin Xin actually apologized to the little guy seriously, very sincerely.
Everyone around him was shaking his head.
"What a nerd. I'm so stupid when I read books."
"This kid is only four or five years old, how can he be serious with a kid of this age?"
"That's why I can't stay in Zhongfu any longer." Someone sighed and looked at Lin Xin with some pity.
Lin Xin didn't care about others at this time, but looked at the little guy seriously.
Not just looking at it, but looking at it carefully from head to toe. From top to bottom, look at it carefully.
"I also heard what you said in my free time. Why are you unwilling to become a disciple in Zhongfu?"
The young master suddenly had a look of pride on his face.
"I, Sima Nanjiu, can't be taught by those mediocre teachers?"
"There are countless talented people in Zhongfu, so what qualifications do you have to call them mediocre teachers?" Lin Xin suddenly became interested. This little guy is not big, but his tone is crazier than him.
"If I want to learn spiritual practice, they can only teach me knowledge. If I want to learn knowledge, they can only teach me arts. If I want to learn arts, they can only teach me spiritual practice. No one can teach me everything. Like this
What is a human being but a mediocre teacher?" Sima Nanjiu stood with his hands behind his hands, with a faint aura of standing proudly in the world.
"Then why are you willing to talk to me, a poor scholar, for so long?" Lin Xin asked again.
"Because of respect." Sima Nanjiu said seriously, "I am five years old this year, but I have seen famous teachers ranging from 100 to 80 or 90, but there has never been anyone who respects me from the bottom of my heart like you do. You treat me as your own.
Look at it from a person who communicates on an equal footing.”
Lin Xin didn't expect that he had tried to hide himself as much as possible, but still seemed a little out of tune with the people around him because of his unique thoughts.
"If Sir is willing, I, Sima Nanjiu, am willing to serve you as my teacher!" Sima Nanjiu said solemnly with a solemn look on his face.
As soon as these words came out, the people around him were in an uproar.
Just by looking at his clothes, he knew that this child was not from an ordinary family, and by his manners and upbringing, not to mention having the demeanor of everyone, yet he simply tried to become his teacher to a poor and down-and-out scholar.
To the scholar, this was like a good pie falling from the sky, and it was still delicious and fresh from the oven.
It would be foolish not to agree to such a good thing.
"But does this kid have the final say?" a voice couldn't help but ask.
"Nature can make the decision!"
Two tall young women, carrying knives on their backs, squeezed through the crowd and walked to Sima Nanjiu.
The two women have dignified looks, awe-inspiring expressions, slim and plump figures, and are as bulgy as they should be. They are dressed in a somewhat noble chivalrous tight-fitting moon-white gown. In addition, they are followed by several powerful guards with swords.
.It looks even more noble and powerful.
"Of course I take what my little brother said seriously! He also made the decision!"
Among them, the woman with long hair and a green ribbon said calmly.
Immediately, the surrounding passengers became even more interested, and more and more people came over.
Lin Xin's heart moved.
Ever since the Red Leaf Sword Master helped him cut off the You Mansion, he had always been able to feel a hint of causality.
The child in front of me seems to have some causal connection with him, and he may have a chance to interact with him.
Not to mention anything else, I was the only one who found myself among so many gentlemen. After just talking for a while, I decided to appoint myself as my teacher. This kind of decisiveness is a big reason in itself.
But he has already accepted a lot of apprentices. Due to various problems and distraction, he has never had the opportunity to truly teach his apprentices. This also leads to the fact that even if he accepts them, it will not be of much use. He will not have time to guide them.
Totally meaningless.
Even his biological son Lin Zhen is qualified to step into the foundation building, not to mention several other disciples, who are all done by several Jindan Masters and Mingxin Masters of the Sword Sect.
Speaking of this, it also made him ashamed.
Thinking of this, he finally shook his head inwardly.
"I am not someone who accepts disciples casually. If I want to accept you, I must meet three conditions."
He planned to find some trouble to make the little guy in front of him quit.
It is also a test to see how strong the cause and effect between the two is.
Three conditions?!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
This poor scholar is actually unwilling to accept the young master?! Are there any conditions?!
What's going on in this world? Is everyone's eyesight blurred? Is this poor man actually some kind of hermit and master?
Some people couldn't help but look at the white-haired old man among them, who was carrying a long piano and had a calm expression.
This man has a high level of cultivation, much higher than the captain on the ship, and has a hint of subtle meaning all over his body.
He looked at Lin Xin carefully, then silently shook his head at everyone.
Even this person has denied it, so there is no possibility that he is a hermit.
Not only them, but also Sima Nanjiu's two sisters were a little stunned. Logically speaking, with the status of the younger brother, being willing to become a disciple is simply the greatest affirmation and honor for the other party.
They don't care about what knowledge and practice the other person can teach their younger brother. What they care about is that the younger brother is truly willing to value and respect the other person.
They believed in the younger brother, not the person in front of them.
Sima Kongyan frowned and stared at Lin Xin carefully. She really couldn't imagine what kind of confidence the man in front of her had, and he actually negotiated terms with his younger brother?
Lin Xin, on the other hand, was as indifferent as you wanted to be.
"What three conditions?" Sima Nanjiu's voice suddenly came from the crowd.
It suddenly became lively.
This little guy is actually ready to agree to the three conditions.
Sima Nanjiu looked at Lin Xin solemnly with a small face. He could feel that the person in front of him was not just trying to gain fame and fame. Anyone who dared to make such a request must be someone with real ability.
Besides, when he chooses a teacher, isn't it just to see if he has the right one? Even if the teacher is bad, he, Sima Nan, is a prodigy in Jiutian, why should he be afraid of being delayed? The results will not be the same for any teacher.
But what he wants most is a truly good teacher who can communicate with him in an equal manner.
And the person in front of him is the type he wants.
Therefore, he is not ready to give up easily.
"May I ask, sir, what are the three conditions?"
He continued to ask, his attitude extremely serious.
Lin Xin also didn't expect that the other little guy would be so persistent.
He intuitively felt that the young master in front of him seemed different from the apprentices he had accepted before.
As for the specific difference, he couldn't tell clearly, but just by looking at this intuition, he could see that its potential was great, perhaps only lower than that of Qing'er back then.
After calming down, he glanced at the two sisters beside him who were already a little dissatisfied. He didn't say much, just smiled.
"When the time is right, you can come back to me."
After saying this, he turned around and left without stopping at all.
There was a lot of noise behind them, and even the captain and others came over to watch the excitement. Some people asked them for news about Lin Xin, but all they got was of little value.
"Brother, are you serious this time?" Sima Kongyan frowned and stared at Xiao Nanjiu.
"When have I ever played something fake?" Sima Nanjiu tugged on his robe and walked away calmly.
************************
At night, the empty ship slowly moves forward in the night sky.
There was no one on the deck. After the crew members had set up their magic circles, they went back to their rooms to rest. There were only a few security guards left in a few places.
It was dark on the deck.
A small figure quietly emerged from the hatch of the ship, looked around, and soon ran towards the end of the ship's side on the right.
Soon, the little figure reached the rear end of the hull and glanced towards the position near the side of the ship.
"Sir, you really trust people."
Half of the little figure's face was exposed in the subtle light on the deck, and it was clearly Sima Nanjiu who had caused heated discussions during the day. (To be continued.)
