Early in the morning, three gluttons, who looked like they had not eaten for more than half a year, came to the Manxiang Building. They devoured the large table that had just been served in a short time.
The three people's astonishing eating scene even amazed the waiters in Manxianglou. Even the beggars who came to the shop in the evening to beg for some leftovers were not in a hurry to eat.
If he hadn't recognized that one of them, Jiang Ergou, was a distinguished guest who often came here with the Su family master, he would have thought that these three people were hungry beggars pretending to be here to cheat them of food and drink!
This time for dinner, Ergou did not go to the private room upstairs like when he came with Su Ruyu and Chu Wushuang, but chose to eat in the lobby.
This is because, even with Su Ruyu's face, the box fee is still very expensive. In Ergou's eyes, you can't eat there! Why spend the wasted money?
Of course, in the past, Su Ruyu and Chu Wushuang, two wealthy guys, paid the bill. If you didn't go to the box a few more times, you would be a fool who didn't take advantage of them.
But now, you have to pay for every meal and dish yourself, so it doesn’t matter if you have a private room or not. With the spare money, I might as well order two more dishes to get a better deal...
"Hey! What's that... a broken knife? I've eaten this meal and drank some wine. Do you have to show me your knife? You put the knife away too quickly just now, and I didn't even get a good look at it.
."
Jiang Ergou, who was full of wine and food, rested on the stool with one hand and picked his teeth with a bamboo stick in the other hand. He casually kicked Yang Dongqing with his foot, who was holding a bowl of Huadiao and tasting it carefully.
"If you want to see it, take it yourself!"
Yang Dongqing had no time to pay attention to this kid. Ergouzai glanced at the old man who was munching a roast chicken. This guy seemed to have a special liking for Manxianglou's roast chicken. He didn't need other dishes, but
I must give him a roast chicken.
Seeing that he ignored him, Ergou took the knife that Yang Dongqing had casually placed on the table!
The scabbard was very shabby. Ergou originally thought that the scabbard would undergo great changes after acquiring it, but now it seems that it is really just shabby and has no special use.
But this does not prevent Ergou from thinking that the knife in the scabbard is a good knife. If it can kill all beings with one strike before the blade is revealed, then how bad can this knife be?
Holding the handle of the knife, Ergou held his breath and concentrated. He was fully prepared to appreciate this peerless knife.
He began to exert force, and he pulled out a small section of the blade, revealing it in front of people. As expected, it was silvery and the blade was white, which further strengthened Ergou's idea that it was a precious sword.
Gradually, as he pulled out the knife bit by bit, Ergou became more determined. However, when the full view of the knife was displayed before his eyes, he was dumbfounded.
"Broken... broken! Where is the tip of the knife? Did it fly off?"
Ergou looked at the "good knife" with one third missing and no tip, and his expression was quite wonderful.
"You're just going to use this thing to kill Miesheng with one blow?"
"What if?"
In response to Ergou's childish question, Yang Dongqing didn't want to speak and bounced back a rhetorical question, which made Ergou speechless for a long time.
"Then if you change the knife to a sharp one, will it become more powerful?"
"This... I haven't tried it, so I don't know!"
After a long time, Ergou thought of another question, but was blocked by Yang Dongqing's words again.
"Are you really a swordsman?"
Ergou stared at the broken sword for a long time, still unable to believe that it was the sword of a first-class swordsman.
Suspicion flashed across Yang Dongqing's face. Is there something wrong with this guy's head? Or is he trying to make fun of me? My knife was already in his hand. He even asked me if I was a knife practitioner. Then, he
He glanced at the broken knife in Ergou's hand.
"this
Isn’t it obvious yet?”
Okay! Ergou had to admit that the two of them were not thinking on the same platform at all, and it was really hard to talk to him!
But if the question is not asked clearly, Ergou will feel as uncomfortable as if a cat has been scratching him.
"Then why have you been practicing with this broken sword?"
"Hey, I can't tell you this unless you can be my apprentice!"
Come on, come on, Ergou has finally figured it out. This man wants to be his disciple and wants to go crazy. But it’s a pity that God is jealous of talents. God only sent me such an excellent Jiang Ergou. If he wants to find someone as good as me, Ergou
It would be difficult for me to be my disciple.
"I said Duandao, why do you insist on accepting me as your apprentice?"
Ergou asked this question very confidently. In his own eyes, this person must have taken a fancy to his martial arts talent and wanted to accept him as his apprentice for nothing.
"Because... you are as shameless as me!"
"piss off!"
Ergou, who originally had his feet on the stool, stumbled, and those words came out of his mouth unconsciously.
…
"Don't you plan to meet Kisaragi?"
Just when the three of them were eating and drinking quite well, an uninvited guest with a sword came to the table. It was Lin Cangsheng, the leader of the Wenjian Sect.
"What difference does it make if you see or not see!"
The old man seemed to regard Lin Cangsheng as an airhead and drank alone.
"Hahaha! I thought you had been practicing swordsmanship for many years and your current state was close to transcendence, but there are still things you can't see through and can't let go of!"
"Lin, don't try to provoke me, this trick will not work on me."
The old man's tone was very calm.
"Hmph, after practicing swordsmanship for so many years, I never expected that I'm still a coward!"
"Lin, don't try to provoke me! This trick won't work on me!"
The old man's words were exactly the same as the ones just now, but his tone and volume suddenly increased several levels, and there was no longer any dull meaning.
"Let's go! I still don't know what your temper is? You're such a tough-tongued person!"
This time, the old man did not grit his teeth and refused, but stood up with a curse.
"Damn it, it's been so many years. When will this stinky habit of being unable to stand when others are provoked be changed? But, guess what! It's going to be very difficult in this life!"
Seeing the old man standing up, Ergou also stood up quickly. If he still couldn't see the situation clearly, then his nearly twenty years of life would have been in vain.
Isn't this Lin Cangsheng the innocent man who was dumped in the old man's love story? So now shouldn't it be time to meet my mysterious mistress!
"Hahaha, Ergou! If you want to learn swordsmanship in the future, just come to me!"
After Yang Dongqing drank the Huadiao in the bowl, he left a few words for Ergou and then disappeared.
…
Ergou and Wang Xuanlang, led by Lin Cangsheng, arrived at the Xingyue Sect's headquarters in the capital. They were greeted by the Great Elder Xiao Qi and the Young Sect Master Lin Xuanqing.
"Wang Xuanlang! No wonder I thought you were very familiar when we fought in Wangyou City. You and Yue'er went to our Xingyue Sect together. I didn't expect that you have such strong strength now. It's really
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"
"Hahaha, there, there! I was offended that day! I was offended! I didn't reveal my identity in time. I hope the great elder can forgive me."
As soon as she saw Wang Xuanlang, Xiao Qi had an appraising look in her eyes, just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looks at him, the more she likes him. But it was just such a look.
This made Wang Xuanlang, an old man who was close to sixty years old, blush and could only talk enthusiastically
In response to Xiao Qi, she quickly apologized.
Unlike the enthusiastic meeting of the old man Xiao Qi, Lin Xuanqing and Jiang Ergou were extremely jealous when they met as enemies.
"Thieves!"
Lin Xuanqing's eyes were about to burst into flames as he stared at Jiang Ergou. If eyes could kill, even if Ergou had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough.
"I'm telling you! Can you stop looking like you want to eat people? Why don't you just look at you twice? It's like you're missing some meat!"
"You... are a scumbag!"
Faced with Jiang Ergou's rogue behavior, Lin Xuanqing really had no way to deal with him. They were here to take care of her master, so they couldn't just fight him out!
Besides, this pervert is easy to deal with, but his master is so powerful that there is nothing he can do about him.
"Okay, Qing'er, stop arguing! Our Xingyue Sect and their masters and disciples have a very deep relationship. Everything in the past was all misunderstandings. Don't take it to heart!"
"snort!"
After she snorted proudly, she turned around and returned to her master's room, while Ergou and the others filed in behind her.
In the room, Mo Ruyue, who was unconscious, had not yet woken up, lying quietly on the bed to rest, but it could be seen from the look on her eyebrows that she was fine.
Besides, Xingyue Sect is also a large sect with a long history, and it still has a lot of reserves of some magical healing medicines.
"You've been gone for twenty years and you have nothing to say?"
Seeing that they were about to talk about some sensitive topics, Xiao Qi wanted to drag Lin Xuanqing and Jiang Ergou out together, but how could these two people leave now?
After trying for a while to no avail, she stopped caring about them, shook her head and walked out with a wry smile, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.
"What's there to say? It's just that each of us has to shoulder our own burden. You have to ask the Sword Sect to be the sect leader, Yue'er also has Nuo Da and the Xingyue Sect to take care of, and I... I also have my own
The reason why I have to leave.”
"But if you stay, it doesn't conflict with what you want to do."
Lin Cangsheng's tone was a bit extreme, but the old man just shook his head slightly.
"I've been with her for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't have the courage or ability to shoulder that responsibility!"
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Cangsheng paused.
"Then when you come out this time...have you thought about it?"
The old man looked at Lin Cangsheng and nodded.
"Think about it!"
Then, Lin Cangsheng paused again.
"Somewhat certain!"
The old man stretched out a clenched fist.
"Not a cent!"
"You really can't let go?"
The old man's words made Lin Cangsheng silent for a long time before he asked the question of whether he had let go.
But this time the old man nodded first, then shook his head.
"Let it go! But I still have to go!"
"well……"
Neither Lin Xuanqing nor Ergou understood what they said. What did it mean? Reminiscing about the past? What can't be let go? There is a lot of story in it!
"uh-huh…"
While she was talking, Mo Ruyue, who was lying on the bed, finally woke up leisurely, but before she could really recover, a figure rushed to her bed with lightning speed.
"Master Wife! You finally woke up!"
Ergou called Shi Niang very quickly, but the old man kicked out even faster. Before Shi Niang could even pronounce the word "Mother" in his mouth, he was kicked to death by the old man.
But even so, Ergou's heart was filled with joy as he successfully called out "Master's Wife".
