In the evening, as usual, the four of them gathered around the yard to eat and drink. However, Xu Jie was a little more shy than before. Her pretty face was always flushed, like a peach blossom in full bloom. She lowered her head.
She didn't dare to look at people, especially at Uncle Jiu. The girl was so reserved. She had obviously been looking forward to something for a long time, but when it really came to this, she became shy.
"Hehe...hehe..." At the dinner table, Xu Dongsheng also looked at Lin Tianqi from time to time and laughed stupidly, as if he was a fool, which made Lin Tianqi confused. Xu Jie was reserved and shy. He understood Xu Jie's personality after all.
So, but he didn't understand Xu Dongsheng's silly smile. He didn't understand why this guy was giggling: "Dongsheng, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep looking at me smiling like a fool."
Lin Tianqi couldn't stop asking Xu Dongsheng. Uncle Jiu and Xu Jie also raised their heads and looked at Xu Dongsheng with doubtful eyes. Naturally, they noticed Xu Dongsheng's appearance and were also confused.
"Ah!...No, nothing, nothing..." Xu Dongsheng immediately laughed dryly, suppressed his smile, glanced at Lin Tianqi guiltily, and quickly lowered his head and pretended to eat. He did not dare to reveal his thoughts at this time.
When I came out, if I let my senior brother know what I was thinking about singing as a peasant at this moment, I'm not sure how to deal with myself: "Whoops!... Whoops..."
Xu Dongsheng immediately lowered his head and pretended to be working hard to eat. He thought to himself that he must not let his senior brother see my thoughts now. He would have to wait until his senior brother and Xiaojie got married and his identity as an uncle was confirmed before he could reveal it.
In my heart, when my senior brother calls me uncle or brother Dongsheng, hehe, I feel happy just thinking about it. One day I will stand up in front of my senior brother.
Xu Dongsheng lowered his head and thought happily. Lin Tianqi glanced at Xu Dongsheng suspiciously. He didn't know what Xu Dongsheng was thinking at the moment, but even if he knew, he would probably just grin, then pat Xu Dongsheng on the shoulder and tell him seriously
He - your senior brother will always be your senior brother, and it doesn't change just because he marries your sister.
"Tianqi, after dinner you come with me to go out and buy something." At the dinner table, Uncle Jiu said: "Dongsheng, Xiaojie, you can stay at home."
"Yes, Master." All three nodded in agreement.
Later, after dinner, Lin Tianqi and Uncle Jiu went out, while Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie stayed at home, clearing the table and handling the housework after the meal.
"Brother, why were you giggling all the time when you were eating?" Seeing that Uncle Jiu and Lin Tianqi had already gone out, leaving only the brother and sister, Xu Jie thought of the way Xu Dongsheng couldn't help giggling when they were eating at the dinner table, and couldn't help but speak.
Asked: "I see that you have been looking at Brother Lin. Are you thinking about something related to Brother Lin?"
When Xu Dongsheng heard this, he immediately felt guilty and glanced in the direction of the door, as if he was afraid that Uncle Jiu and Lin Tianqi who had gone out would go back and hear him again. When he saw that Lin Tianqi and Uncle Jiu had indeed gone out and did not come back, he let out a sigh of relief on his face.
, then looked at Xu Jie and quickly shook his head: "No, absolutely not." Xu Dongsheng denied.
However, his guilt was almost written on his face. How could Xu Jie not see it? How could he believe it? She immediately asked.
"Yes, look at you, your guilty conscience is written on your face. Tell me quickly, what are you thinking about? Is it related to Brother Lin? If you don't tell me, I will tell Brother Lin when Brother Lin comes back.
Brother Lin, ask you yourself, huh." Xu Jie hummed, knowing that Xu Dongsheng would never dare to confront Lin Tianqi.
Sure enough, after Xu Jie finished speaking, Xu Dongsheng's expression suddenly turned bitter.
"Don't! Don't! Don't!" Xu Dongsheng immediately begged for mercy. He was already guilty, so he didn't dare to tell Lin Tianqi. He quickly said: "I'll tell you, but you can't tell senior brother."
"You tell me first, and I'll see what it is, and then I decide whether to tell Brother Lin." Xu Jie said.
Xu Dongsheng felt bitter in his heart and secretly thought that his sister really didn't want to stay with her husband. If she has a lover, she won't want her brother. He said with a sad face: "I don't have any thoughts. I just thought that if my senior brother marries you, he will become my brother-in-law and I will be the brother-in-law."
Uncle, in this case, when my senior brother sees me in the future, he will call me Brother Dongsheng, hehe..."
"Pfft!" When Xu Jie heard this, she couldn't help laughing and looked at her elder brother funny: "I thought what were you thinking? That silly smile turned out to be this."
Xu Jie laughed out loud. She had seen her eldest brother giggle from time to time, and thought that she had some serious thoughts in her heart. This is what the relationship ended up with, and she acted like a sneaky person for fear of being known, which made her very happy: "I still thought
Why is it so mysterious?" In the end, Xu Jie couldn't help rolling her eyes at her elder brother.
"What do you know? This is called turning over. Do you understand? My senior brother has always suppressed me, but it will be different when he marries you. Hey, then I will be your uncle." Xu Dongsheng was still feeling happy in his heart.
He didn't pay any attention to his sister's joke: "I'm telling you, you can't tell senior brother about this, at least not now..."
"Giggle..." Xu Jie smiled tenderly, looking amused again at her elder brother's appearance, and nodded, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.
He made up his mind to wait for Lin Tianqi to come back and find some time to secretly tell Lin Tianqi about his elder brother's thoughts.
More than an hour later, when it was dark, Lin Tianqi and Uncle Jiu came back. The master and the apprentice each took five or six boxes in their hands. These were some gifts prepared for going to Xu Dongsheng's house tomorrow to propose marriage to the woman Fang's house.
Naturally, it was impossible to leave empty-handed. Some gifts definitely needed to be prepared. Seeing this, Xu Jie and Xu Dongsheng hurriedly came out to help.
The sky had turned completely dark, and after working for a while, preparing the things they needed to bring when going out tomorrow, the four of them stopped.
Afterwards, Lin Tianqi went to the yard to do a set of boxing skills, sweating profusely, then took a shower and returned to the room.
"system!"
Lying on the bed, Lin Tianqi summoned the system, and instantly, the system's electronic light curtain appeared in his sight.
"There is still one level left, and the health-preserving boxing method has reached the full tenth level. After this period of time, the physical changes brought about by the promotion to the ninth level have basically been adapted to digestion, and we can start to upgrade to the tenth level.
But I’d better not rush it now, I’ll wait until I go to Ningxiang tomorrow to meet Xiaojie’s parents and finalize the marriage.”
"However, judging from the current situation, there is only one level left for the health-preserving boxing technique to reach perfection. However, I am still far from feeling the barrier of the realm. Even if the health-preserving boxing technique breaks through to the tenth level, it is estimated that it will not be able to achieve perfection.
To break through the current level of martial arts, I’m afraid that after breaking through, I’ll have to think of other ways.”
"........................"
With his consciousness withdrawing from the system, Lin Tianqi pondered for a while. He almost had the result in his mind. Even if the health-preserving boxing technique reaches the tenth level and reaches perfection, it is estimated that it will not allow him to break through the current martial arts realm and reach the next level.
After breaking through to the tenth level of body and boxing skills, he will probably have to find another way to learn martial arts.
He is still at the eighth level of the Purple Qi Soul Condensing Technique and is not suitable for promotion. He can only find a way from martial arts.
As he came into contact with more and more powerful beings during this period, Lin Tianqi became more and more eager to reach that level as soon as possible.
Whether it is a bronze-armored corpse, a dragon, his own master, or even Bai Ji and Huang Niangniang, whom he only met once, they are all beings in a realm above his current realm. These beings are at least far better than him.
He has reached a higher level. If he were to meet him alone, he would definitely not be able to defeat anyone.
This feeling of being inferior to others and out of his power made him dislike it very much. It was like there was someone pressing on his head, which was very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Lin Tianqi is very eager to break through the current realm and reach the next great realm. Whether it is martial arts or Taoism, he can be on par with those beings as soon as possible. He does not seek to surpass them, but at least he has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with them.
But it is not easy to take that step.
"Forget it, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. No matter how much I think about it now, it is just a guess. I can't be sure whether it is really feasible. After I go to Ningxiang tomorrow to meet Xiaojie's parents and finalize the marriage, I will go back to Bai Ji and arrange the marriage.
After the health-preserving boxing technique reaches the tenth level, we will think of a solution depending on the situation."
Finally, after muttering to himself, Lin Tianqi calmed down. He also knew that matters related to spiritual practice should not be rushed and needed to be calm.
"Creak -" Just at this moment, there was a soft sound from the door. Lin Tianqi's ears twitched and his eyes instantly looked at the door alertly. He saw a beautiful figure pushing open the door and walking in sneakily, and then
He closed the door again: "Brother Lin."
The visitor walked in, closed the door again, and called Lin Tianqi. It was Xu Jie.
