Li Fulin thought that according to Ji Zheng's temper, she would definitely not want to go to such an occasion. She went, she felt uncomfortable, and the expression on her face was also uncomfortable when others looked at her.
Ji Zheng thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go and see what the new city lord looks like."
Well, this made Li Fulin block what he wanted to say at once, and forget it when he wanted to say it again.
- They still went out together the next day.
Since it is to congratulate others, it is natural to dress decently. This time Li Fulin found a cypress yellow robe and put it on, while Ji Zhenzhen wore a robe of an unidentifiable color. It's okay to say it's black, but if you look carefully, it's actually a very deep purple.
Li Fulin unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Last time, both of them were dressed in red, they went in and out at the same time, and others wouldn't believe it if they said they weren't a couple.
Li Fulin didn't hear what people outside were talking about.
The monks who saw the two of them that day said so in private.
"That woman seems to have a bad temper, but her cultivation should be far higher than mine, not to mention her looks..."
"Didn't you see that the head of Li didn't leave her eyes from the end? If this isn't affectionate, what is affectionate?"
If Li Fulin heard this, he would feel that he died unjustly.
He can't help but stare at Ji Zheng all the time, just because he's afraid that if he loses sight of her, some catastrophe will happen, such as blowing someone's head off at random...
That's right. Ji Zheng has a sword, but generally no one knows that she has a whip wrapped around her arm. That is the weapon she has used since she was a child and is more handy. With a whip, flesh and blood flew all over her head, her head was broken, her waist was broken... Of course, there are not many people who have seen this scene before, so her vicious reputation has not yet spread.
so far so good.
This time senior brother didn't follow, but senior brother Jiang did. He wore a brand-new Taoist robe and held a gift prepared by the elder brother. Li Fulin just glanced at it and made sure that the gift was suitable and no problem, so he gave it to Jiang Fan.
Xiaodong stood aside and watched... In fact, he was also a little envious.
The succession ceremony of the city lord must be very lively.
But Xiaodong thinks that he is no longer a child, and he will not do such things as coquettishly pestering his master to go out with him to watch the excitement.
He felt that he was very stable and sensible, but that expression of anticipation and restraint had already betrayed himself.
Li Fulin smiled and patted Xiaodong's head: "Master will bring you some snacks when he comes back."
Xiaodong really wanted to protest: he is no longer young, and Master can't touch his head like this all the time.
And he's not that hungry for dim sum, is he
Mo Chen probably saw why Xiaodong was sullen, and comforted him with a smile: "You are still growing, so you are more likely to be hungry than others, so you should eat more. If you keep your mouth shut, you will not grow up in the future." High."
This immediately sounded the alarm for Xiaodong!
That's right, big brother is right!
When we were on the mountain before, there were handymen, Aunt Qi and the others compared each other, Xiaodong felt that he was not that big at that time, so he didn't pay much attention to his height.
But it's different now.
Now comparing everyone in the sect, Xiaodong is the shortest.
But he has been a teacher for two years, he is no longer a child, and it is time to grow up.
In Xiaodong's ideal, when he grows up, he should be as tall and straight as his master and elder brother, with a graceful and graceful appearance.
Hmm... Although Xiaodong has been to Tianji Mountain, he found that on the way to Beifu City, people who are naturally handsome and extraordinary like master and elder brother are not everywhere. Quietly lower the standard a bit.
You may not be as handsome as senior brother, not as free and easy as master, um, you can be shorter in stature, your appearance is innate, and it is impossible to change it according to your temperament, so let it be relaxed...
But it must be better than Senior Brother Jiang.
This is Xiaodong's great wish.
Of course, he didn't have any ill-feeling or prejudice against Brother Jiang.
Let's talk about things... In terms of popularity and character, Brother Jiang can be ranked first among all of them. Of course, senior brother is not included in the evaluation, otherwise it would be unfair to others.
But in terms of looks, body and temperament, Senior Brother Jiang... hehe, hehe...
Xiaodong felt that he would be taller than senior brother Jiang anyway, um, senior brother Jiang's figure was also a bit bloated.
Xiaodong felt that Brother Jiang had accumulated fat, not because he was not diligent in practicing, but because he had a better appetite than others.
If he eats too many snacks, will he also become a little fat man, following in the footsteps of Senior Brother Jiang
But what Senior Brother said just now is correct, he and Senior Brother Jiang are not the same age. If you eat less, will you really not grow taller
Then... Then if Master brings back some snacks, I'd better accept them...
After the master went out, Mo Chen taught several juniors to practice. Recently, a lot of things happened in the sect, people's hearts are impetuous, everyone's kung fu has not made much progress, it's good to be stagnant, and some even rush forward because of practicing kung fu, but haste makes waste.
Mo Chen was not angry, he pointed out each of them one by one, and all the juniors obeyed obediently.
Shao Jinming looked at Mo Chen's figure standing not far in front.
He is pointing Tong Hao.
To say that Tong Hao can be said to be the most affected one during this period.
The master fined him to confine him for several days, and he is only now released.
Compared with the trouble Tong Hao caused, Master's treatment can be said to be very lenient. However, after the confinement, Tong Hao's mentality was greatly affected. When he drew his sword, he seemed limp, hesitant, with miscellaneous footwork and weak moves.
Even Xiaodong could see what was wrong, let alone other people.
Tong Hao was originally a taciturn person, and after Chen Jingzhi's incident, he felt a lot of worry and resentment in his heart. The confinement not only did not make him reflect and meditate, but made him even a little bit less than before. His sword intent was lost.
Mo Chen could also tell that he didn't reprimand him, but also encouraged him with a few gentle words, and told him not to practice swords for the next few days, but might as well strengthen his inner breathing skills.
Otherwise, if he continues to practice with his current mentality, the whole person will be useless.
Tong Hao was not relieved after hearing this, but his face turned even paler.
In front of everyone, Mo Chen couldn't say much.
Jiang Fan is often better at explaining people than he is. Especially Tong Hao now... when facing Mo Chen, I don't know if he always thinks of the last time he tricked Mo Chen out, Mo Chen felt that he was very resistant to him.
I'm afraid Tong Hao won't listen no matter what he says.
Let Junior Brother Jiang handle this matter when he returns. Jiang Fan was more friendly, all his fellow disciples were in awe of Mo Chen, but they were much closer to Jiang Fan.
Well, Xiaodong is an exception, he has always been taken care of by Mo Chen under his nose, and he is the closest to the elder brother.
As for Xiaodong, it was rare for him to get two compliments.
Shao Jinming and the others also felt that there must be something strange about Chen Jingzhi's escape from the sect, but he turned around and wanted to kill a junior junior brother who had just started and had low skills. But everyone knows the character of the little junior brother. He is quite straightforward and simple. He has made a turn at the gate of hell. It is not surprising that his practice has been affected these days. His skill has not regressed, and his internal energy is also very steady, which shows that he has not been lazy at all these days.
He is the youngest, and everyone will not take a few words from the elder brother to praise him.
But Shao Jinming turned his head by chance, and saw Tong Hao looking at Xiaodong sadly. But in just a short moment, Tong Hao's head fell down again, and his hair covered his expression.
A shadow passed over Shao Jinming's heart.
The elder brother asked people to disperse, Shao Jinming hesitated for a moment, but still took a few steps forward and caught up with Mo Chen.
"Big brother."
Mo Chen stopped and turned around: "Junior Brother Shao? Is there something wrong?"
The oldest disciple of Huiliu Mountain is Shao Jinming, but the first disciple of the sect is Mo Chen, so he is the senior brother. In other places, the elders may be put first, but those who cultivate the Tao have always put the masters first. Shao Jinming has never been unconvinced: "I have some doubts and don't understand, and I want to ask the elder brother for advice."
There were others who hadn't gone far, and heard this and looked this way.
Mo Chen could see that Shao Jinming had something to say. If you really want to ask questions about cultivation and swordsmanship, what can you not say in front of everyone just now
"Then you come with me, it just so happens that I need help with something."
Shao Jinming praised the big brother for his clear eyes and bright heart, and it saves effort to talk to smart people.
After staying away so that no one would hear him, Shao Jinming said, "Junior Brother Tong doesn't seem to be doing well..."
Mo Chen nodded: "I can see it too."
What happened last time can be said to have shaken Tong Hao's mind. He was deceived by Chen Jingzhi, became an accomplice of the traitor of this sect, and was punished by his master.
For Tong Hao, who was originally withdrawn, this was not a big blow.
Shao Jinming felt that Master's treatment could be said to be very tolerant. If it were Tianji Mountain, the sect was large and its rules were strict. And no matter which sect, it would be ruthless to deal with such things as betrayal and internal fighting. Tong Hao was punished, instead of being grateful to his master and elder brother for giving him a light sentence, he harbored resentment instead. Naturally he didn't dare to hate the master, and he couldn't afford to offend the elder brother, so the resentment would probably be directed at Xiaodong.
There is no way, who made the little junior brother a soft persimmon so easy to handle
Shao Jinming told Mo Chen what he had discovered just now, and then briefly raised his doubts: "Maybe I guessed the same door with a villain's heart. But recently, there have been frequent incidents, so I have to be careful. Maybe Junior Brother Tong thinks that he is affected by this. An innocent disaster, the calamity was all caused by my junior brother..."
As soon as these words came out, Shao Jinming saw Mo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Mingming's elder brother's expression has not changed, he is still calm, he has not said anything, let alone expressed anger, but Shao Jinming can't express how he feels at this time.
It was like a sharp knife with a cold light hanging above his head, and the hairs on his back stood on end. This feeling made him feel as if death was just a thin line away from him.
This feeling disappeared suddenly, as if it was just his imagination and illusion just now. (to be continued)
