Ling Jie's body leaned forward sharply, and his face was less than a foot away from Mengyao's face. Mengyao did not speak directly, but picked up the tea cup in a cool and unrestrained way, took a leisurely sip, and then
The tea cup was gently put down, and with a clang, the sound of the tea cup falling on the table was clear and loud.
She seemed to be intending to whet Ling Jie's appetite. Ling Jie said angrily, "Hey, beauty, did you not think it through? Or are you embarrassed to say it?"
Mengyao smiled lightly and stared into Ling Jie's eyes. There was a clear and deep determination in her eyes, with an aura that would not change despite the weather. "I want you to be my junior brother. If you agree, I will help you."
You solve the problem of the dragon-slaying sword breaking."
"Junior brother?" It took Ling Jie a long time to react. He never thought that Mengyao's so-called request was to be her junior brother. "Why do you want me to be her junior brother?"
Ling Jie thought about it in his mind. In terms of strength, Ling Jie didn't mind being Mengyao's junior brother, but he didn't know if this junior brother would have to pay a price that an extraordinary person could provide. In that case, Ling Jie would need to
Just weigh it carefully.
Mengyao said leisurely, "I must have my own reasons for this. Do you agree?"
Ling Jie touched his chin with his hand and found that there were not many beards. "Tell me first, what do you need to do to be your junior brother?"
Ling Jie was afraid of suffering a big loss, but in fact he also knew that with Mengyao's strength, it was absolutely impossible to accept his junior brother casually, and even if he accepted his junior brother, it would not be easy.
Mengyao said, "There is nothing you need to do. Junior brother Ma, you must obey all the instructions of senior sister. That's all. It's not difficult for you at all."
Ling Jie thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree." After saying that, he reached out and took out the dragon-slaying knife and was about to hand it to Mengyao.
Mengyao was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, since you promised, you can't go back on it. Come with me."
Seeing Mengyao walking out of the tea house, Ling Jie had no choice but to pretend to be a dragon-slaying knife and follow him hurriedly. The waiter never came up to ask for the bill. It was obvious that Mengyao was familiar with the owner of this shop. For one or two meals,
No one cares too much.
Under the leadership of Mengyao, Lingjie returned to the big villa, but Mengyao looked very serious. Lingjie never spoke. He followed Mengyao to the most remote hall on the fourth floor. Here was a small
There is a large photo hanging on the wall to the right of the ancestral hall. There is a lifelike man in the photo. Unfortunately, because the photo is a bit old, his face has been corroded and the man's appearance cannot be recognized. But Ling Jie still
He felt a little familiar. He seemed to have seen this figure before somewhere, but Ling Jie couldn't remember exactly where he had seen it. This figure was far away yet very close, as if he was right next to him, but Ling Jie was
Can't remember.
"Why did you bring me here?" Ling Jie looked at the surrounding environment and felt that the light here was very dark and dark, and it looked a bit eerie.
Mengyao focused all her energy on the big blurry photo. She stared at the photo for a while before speaking, "The person in this photo is my master, and he is also your master from today on. You can give the master some incense.
Make an oath here."
Ling Jie also knew that although it was a materialistic society now, the etiquette of masters and disciples was still very important. Ling Jie gritted his teeth and thought that he had no choice but to fight for the dragon-slaying knife. After finishing the incense, according to Mengyao's instructions
After being asked to take the oath, Ling Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there any etiquette that has not been completed?"
Mengyao said, "Come on, you can offer Master a drink."
According to his request, Ling Jie toasted another glass of wine in front of the photo, then spilled the wine on the ground, "Master, please use it slowly."
Although Ling Jie couldn't identify the appearance of the person in the photo, he roughly felt that the person in the photo was not only a bit familiar, but also gave people a kind feeling. Although he was a little depressed to be the apprentice of an old man for no reason.
, but when he thought that this could save the Dragon-Slaying Saber, Ling Jie had no choice but to admit it. Besides, Mengyao himself was already a
An extremely terrifying existence. Ling Jie asked himself that he had never really admired the skills of a few people, but Mengyao was one of them. Ling Jie could not guess at all how terrifying Mengyao's strength was.
A certain level, but one thing he was sure of was that Mengyao could definitely kill him easily!
The fourth person in the dark world is definitely not simple.
Mengyao was like this, not to mention her master. Ling Jie estimated that her master was also a perverted existence. If he had a chance to see the old man in the future and have fun with him, he might even give him something.
As for my dear, as Mengyao's master, I will definitely not be too shabby.
Ling Jie comforted himself in this way, and he felt much better. After the ceremony, Mengyao put three sticks of incense on the photo, "Master is on top, disciple is below. Today, I have added Ling Jie as a junior brother according to your wishes. I hope
Master, please protect my junior brother and he will not let you down."
Seriously inserting the incense stick into the incense burner, Mengyao turned around and looked at Ling Jie with a much softer look than before, "Junior brother, from now on you will be the master's apprentice. Although there are no restrictions, there are basic
The rules still have to be followed.”
Mengyao walked out and said, "I won't go into all the big rules, but there are a few special ones you need to remember."
Ling Jie looked obedient and said, "Well, you can tell me, as long as it's not too perverted, I'll accept it."
Mengyao stared at Ling Jie's face and said word by word, "Among the rules, there are three that are the most special and important. Anyone who violates these three rules will definitely be struck by thunder and will be punished by everyone in the door."
The most lethal one is the one who will not die well in the end."
Meng Yao glared at Ling Jie angrily, and then looked away, "The first rule is - the master's order is above all else! No matter life or death, family feud or national hatred, you must first obey the master's order
Order."
Ling Jie nodded, indicating that this was no problem, and Mengyao continued, "Article 2 - the master's craftsmanship is not allowed to be spread to outsiders. Once discovered, all will be executed!"
Ling Jie was secretly surprised, but on the surface he remained calm, "What about the last one?"
Mengyao said, "The last one is - it is forbidden for disciples to fall in love with each other. Once discovered, they will be executed!"
Ling Jie liked this rule, at least it sounded barely acceptable. He spread his hands and said, "Senior sister, I accept these three rules. Is there anything else I need to explain?"
Mengyao thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, that's all for now. Remember, you are not allowed to disgrace the master in the future." She smiled, and Ling Jie took the bag behind her.
He came out and put it on the ground, "Senior sister, now that I am your junior brother, do you think this Dragon-Slaying Sword is... it should be..."
He blinked at Mengyao a few times, but did not say what he said next. He clearly wanted Mengyao to find a way to get the Dragon-Slaying Sword. Without the Dragon-Slaying Sword, Ling Jie's combat effectiveness would be reduced by at least half. Ling Jie himself
I can't even imagine what the consequences will be if I can't use Heartless Slash in the future. I guess I won't even be able to defeat Furukage Hongye. The most urgent thing right now is to restore the Dragon-Slaying Sword to its original state.
Mengyao carefully held the Dragon-Slaying Knife in her hand and observed her carefully. She looked serious and focused. Ling Jie couldn't help but be surprised. He had experienced the sharpness of the Dragon-Slaying Knife. Ordinary fine steel, copper and iron were
In front of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, it was almost the same as tofu, but even such a sharp sword as Mengyao was broken in one go. Thinking about this method, it gives people chills.
After a moment, Ling Jie asked urgently, "How's it going? It's definitely no problem for you, senior sister, right? It'll be done in a few clicks."
In fact, Ling Jie was really nervous, especially when he saw Mengyao frowning. If a person frowns, it means they are encountering difficulties.
Mengyao's brows were still furrowed, "I can't help it, but there is one person who might be able to do it. He is a world-renowned blacksmith. Come with me."
Ling Jie was very happy to be able to restore the dragon-slaying sword, not to mention just one trip, even ten trips. He followed Mengyao out of the villa, passed through several ancient alleys, and finally came to a house similar to Mengyao's house.
The size and style of the villa front door.
This place is relatively remote, with few people passing by, and it is deserted. The gatekeeper is an old man. After seeing Mengyao, he warmly came forward to say hello. He opened the door cheerfully and Ling Jie and the two went in. Ling Jie felt that this
There was a mysterious smell permeating the villa, which was a bit depressing.
"Wait for me here. The owner inside is not very welcoming of strangers." Mengyao smiled and told Ling Jie, and then walked in alone carrying the bag containing the dragon-slaying knife, while Ling Jie was thrown into the big room.
After waiting for a long time at the door, there was no sign of Mengyao. The kind-hearted uncle next to him walked up and said with a smile, "Young man, you'd better go back first. I'm afraid Miss Mengyao won't be able to get out for more than ten hours."
.”
Ling Jie also felt that there was an indescribable depressive atmosphere everywhere in this place. As for the old man in front of him, Ling Jie did not dare to have the slightest contempt. His intuition told him that this uncle was definitely an expert. Because of this, Ling Jie
He had not come forward to strike up a conversation, but now the uncle spoke first. Seeing his enthusiastic attitude, Ling Jie took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle, who lives here? Why do I feel so mysterious?"
The uncle chuckled and said, "The people inside are called blacksmiths. I don't quite remember his specific name. I don't even remember my own name. Look at my memory... Oops...
…”
Ling Jie didn't expect that not only was the atmosphere here wrong, but the uncle's words were also weird, "Then Mr. Blacksmith is Mengyao's good friend?"
The uncle didn't answer but asked, "Who are you from Mengyao?"
The uncle felt strange. Usually Mengyao came here alone and never brought outsiders. Today she actually brought a man here, and this man seemed to be a bit handsome. Could it be that he was Mengyao's lover?
Ling Jie said, "I am Mengyao's junior brother."
The uncle nodded repeatedly and said, "It turns out he is her junior brother. I thought it was... Mr. Blacksmith and Miss Mengyao are close friends. They do the same job and have the same position. Since you are Miss Mengyao's junior brother,
, he is considered one of our own, so I won’t hide it, Mr. Blacksmith is from the 13th Bureau of the National Security Bureau, he is the first person to enter the 13th Bureau, and his qualifications are older than Guishou and Mengyao combined."
Ling Jie's head banged and his body shook. Mengyao brought her dragon-slaying knife to the place where the seniors from the 13th National Security Bureau lived... Could it be that she was asking Mr. Blacksmith for help...
Ling Jie was very excited, "Uncle, Mr. Blacksmith's name is Blacksmith, so his blacksmithing skills must be the best in the world?"
The uncle laughed, "Haha... No. 1 in the world? Mr. Blacksmith's skill in forging weapons is absolutely unparalleled in the world. I have never seen Mr. Blacksmith's background, so I dare not say that he is the best in the world, but he is definitely among the top three in the world.
name."
Ling Jie's body trembled slightly, and blood surged in his heart, "Uncle, I think you are also an expert. Who are you, Mr. Blacksmith?"
