Candlelight flickered from time to time in the medium-sized reception room. Moonlight shone in from outside the tall arched windows, brushing against the dark green silk curtains and covering the cake on the mahogany table.
Lisha was looking at the five people around the table with a faint smile.
The five core disciples of Feng Xiang Sect now acted as her relatives and friends, sending her blessings. People in this era believed that the soul was most likely to be invaded by demons on birthdays, so on birthdays, relatives and friends would gather around to give blessings and send cakes to bring good luck and drive away demons.
"I didn't expect you to remember my birthday..."
Lisha finally set her sights on Kasu.
"I asked my master, and he told me."
Kaxiu answered this question very frankly and seriously.
“Hahaha.” Lisha smiled and pressed her forehead: “Don’t talk like that in the future, or no girl will like you.”
"But anyway..." Lisha stood up from the mahogany chair and gave Kasu a hug with open arms.
"Thank you, my apprentice, Levi."
In the next few hours, the atmosphere of the small birthday party was very lively. Because of the presence of the two happy enemies, Lan Xi and Moses, laughter could often be heard in the living room.
Kashu also gave Lisha the gift he bought, an exquisite ladies' pocket watch, and Lisha seemed very happy.
"Well, you're quite good at choosing gifts this time. I like this pocket watch very much." Lisha rubbed the delicate pocket watch cover with her hands.
"As long as you like."
Of course, this gift was not chosen by Kashu, but he deliberately asked for help from Senior Brother Lanxi, who had good taste, to buy it. However, the decision to give him a pocket watch was made at the beginning, because Lisha also gave him a pocket watch with special meaning.
In the end, Lisha's 40th birthday was quite complete. Although the master was not here, at least the apprentice was here, right
The next day, the Beiliu County exchange competition held its closing ceremony.
Actually there is not much to say. It is basically the same as the opening ceremony, just get some people to dance in the theater.
Since this was the first time the exchange competition was held, neither the people sent by Donghai County nor the local cooperative schools had much experience. So it was a bit rudimentary, so we had to make do with it.
Finally, at around 3pm, the Beiliu County exchange competition came to an end. All the small sects that had been eliminated and had no chance left and returned to their respective hometowns.
The four major schools in Beiliu County did not leave, and they would stay here for a few more nights, from one or two days to five or six days, and would board the train to Donghai County in batches.
The Wind Gate was lucky and didn't have to wait too long. After just two nights at the manor, the organizer informed them that they could leave by train the next morning, and there would be several carriages carrying all of them away.
During this time, Kashu was naturally not idle, and teacher Lixia was beside him. She would often teach him the next boxing method, which was the subsequent elephant group boxing, in the training room provided by the manor.
But in fact, Kashu has surpassed the limits of the human body and reached the level of a boxer, so he doesn't need a teacher to teach him. He can practice the Elephant Chapter step by step based on the method of the Wind Chapter.
The practice methods of Wind Elephant Fist are originally inherited from the same source.
For example, Katis and Hager, who became boxers at an early age, did not need a teacher to teach them. What they needed most was constant retreat and constant practice. One was to train their bodies day by day, and the other was to continuously increase their knowledge and fighting skills.
So after two days of teaching, Lisha looked at her student helplessly and said, "You have already learned all the basics of Wind Secret Martial Arts, and I have taught you everything I should have taught you. What you need to do next is to flexibly apply what you have learned and follow the path of Wind Secret Martial Arts all the way to the limit."
"But teacher, I still have many questions."
"Then go fight. Your opponent will always be your best teacher. I can't accompany you for much longer. You need to find a new master..."
The next morning, a drizzle began to fall, like a silver-gray, sticky spider silk, weaving a heavy web that encircled the entire spring world. The sky in Beiliu City was also dark, like the roof of an old house covered with spider webs, and everything seemed unusually old and dull.
“Bang!”
A big hand spread out a gray newspaper. The Beiliu City Daily, which had just been printed, still had a very strong smell of ink.
"April 15, 99th year of the Red Lebanese Federation calendar, a rainy day."
In the very corner of the newspaper there was a small line of text.
"Damn, this rain has been falling for three days straight and it won't stop."
Moses closed the newspaper with a little annoyance. He preferred sunny weather to this kind of gloomy rainy day. It would make his joints feel rusty and stiff.
"It's so hot on a sunny day. It would be nice to have a cool rain to lower the temperature." Lan Xi next to him obviously prefers rainy days.
"Yeah, it started out fine, but it kept raining for three days!"
Lan Xi and Moses were about to quarrel again, and Kaxiu said, "Hurry up and have breakfast. We have only one hour left before we have to take a bus to the train station in the western suburbs."
He looked up at the sky. The grayish-white clouds piled up in the sky looked like broken tiles peeling off the roof.
Turning back, Kasu took a bite of the delicious, crispy bread, then picked up the white porcelain cup of hot milk next to him.
I have to say that the food in the manor is really very good, much better than the Fengxiangmen Canteen and Oak City.
Beiliu City is the central city of Beiliu County after all...
“Pah.”
The wooden door of the living room was suddenly opened.
Hegge, who was folding his umbrella with one hand, stomped hard on the carpet outside, causing water to drip from his black boots.
"Big Brother." ×3
"Oh, you're enjoying your meal. Did you keep my portion?"
He left his umbrella outside and walked in quickly.
"I've kept it, I've kept it." Kaxiu gently pushed over a white plate and a white porcelain cup next to him. Inside were standard breakfast items, including fried bread, fried sausages, buttered eggs and the like.
"Hey, you still have some conscience. It's worth my getting up early in the morning to come to you." Hegge smiled and immediately sat down on the mahogany table and chair, eating breakfast with one hand while using the knife and fork.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother. My master is not in good health. It is really not suitable for him to take a train for seven or eight days to go to Donghai County."
As Kaxiu spoke, he pushed the white porcelain plate with sausages and sauce over. He hadn't touched the dish since it was served, and it was still warm. He knew that Brother Heig's favorite dish was the Turk-style grilled sausages.
