"Get stronger quickly."
I scratched my head and said:
"There is no such way."
Actually there are. But everything has a price. Others have worked hard for several years or decades to climb, and you directly take the cable car to the top of the mountain, and the price is the money you have to pay for the cable car. And after reaching the top of the mountain, you will find that those who have walked up step by step on their own feet have become stronger mentally and physically, which is the price of taking shortcuts.
In the way of swordsmanship, it is not impossible to go heresy, but most of them are accompanied by a tragic price.
I didn't want Alaya to really pay such a high price, so I comforted her and said:
"What happened yesterday, how about telling me?"
Alaya told me everything that happened last night. It's just that from her perspective, the assassin's every move is obviously more weird. My perspective is watching, while her perspective is the kind of despair of "trying my best but still can't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes".
After Alaya finished speaking, for the first time, a little disappointment appeared on her face.
She had sat up and leaned against the head of the bed. His eyebrows were raised, his lips were tightly pressed together, his hands unconsciously clenched the quilt tightly, he lowered his head and dared not look at me, and just said:
"Master, it's Alaiya who is useless. Even though the master taught me so patiently all these years, I still can only reach the current level..."
I hugged her lovingly, patted her on the back, and said:
"It's okay. If I want to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you. The other children grew up eating high-calcium tablets, but you have been suffering with me since childhood. Every night I scold myself for being so bad, a good little girl , Let me starve people's chests flat."
Alaya trembled, and the expression on her face instantly changed from despondent to expressionless.
coming! Alaiya's trademark deadpan face.
An expressionless face used to cover up all emotions such as anger, dissatisfaction, helplessness, sadness, etc., the almighty expressionless face!
I changed the subject with a smile, sat in front of Alaya, took her hand, and said:
"However, according to your description, the assassin should have been injured internally by you and Heji, and had to retreat."
Alaya raised her head in surprise and asked:
"Really?"
I nodded, and said in a certain and affirmative tone:
"Of course it's true. Think about it, she knocked the three of you unconscious, and she had time to burn the food and grass before leaving. Why did she just leave without saying a word? It means that she is also at the end of her strength, and she knows that she will continue to stay. Here, if someone comes here, she won't be able to leave, so I have to retreat in a hurry. This shows that the two of you teamed up and definitely severely injured her, but she just refused to show it."
Alaya stretched her brows, with a little joy on her face, and said softly:
"That is to say, the next time the assassin comes again, if I can become stronger, maybe I can have a chance to defeat her?"
I encourage:
"Of course there is a chance."
Alaya breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the quilt, and said:
"Then, I have to hurry up and train."
I hurriedly pushed her back, forcibly wrapped her in the quilt, and said:
"It's not too late, let's take a rest. I'll go and make breakfast first."
I got dressed and walked out of the room, just in time to see Baihuang and Heji eating in the restaurant. Bai Huang yawned, and when he saw me, he said indignantly:
"Oh! My good boy, my aunt was born and died in the night, it's good for you, just slip away if you say so! This is too dishonest!"
I said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, this time I rely on Sister Huang's help. I have heard from Alaiya that if it weren't for your good scheduling, the food and grass would really be burned. You are my reborn parents, Yu Heroes of the people in Xicheng, today I will go to the gate of the granary to pull a banner for you and sing praises to you."
Baihuang didn't boast, and immediately raised his nose to the sky after a few words of praise, and said in a grand manner:
"Hmph! It's good to know. But it's not that exaggerated. It's you, what are you going to do now?"
I pointed to the kitchen:
"make breakfast."
Bai Huang waved to me and said:
"Don't be in a hurry. My aunt was careless last night and let the assassin run away. We'd better discuss the future countermeasures."
I sat down next to Baihuang, and took out the set of principles that fooled Alaiya and fooled Baihuang and Heji again. Bai Huang believed it easily, rather she was satisfied with the result. Relying on the command and dispatch of the wise Lord Baihuang, the two swordsmen of Yuxi City, Heji and Alaya, joined forces to severely injure the foreign assassins. Everyone likes such a scenario. But Heji is not so easy to fool, he hesitated, and said:
"The last time I drew the sword, the assassin did crash into my sword energy. But I really didn't see the signs of a serious injury from her..."
It's a pity that before the words fell, Bai Huang folded his arms and said confidently:
"Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean you don't have it. The assassin is good at hiding himself, so naturally he won't let us see that she is injured. Besides, there is no other explanation, right?"
Heji thought for a while, then nodded, acquiescing to the result.
I breathed a sigh of relief and got up to cook porridge.
When I came out, I came out with two bowls of lean meat porridge, one from Alaiya and the other from myself. As soon as he came out, he met the robber Bai Huang. She asked which bowl was mine, and after getting the answer, she said "I'll have a taste", then picked it up and drank half of the bowl in one breath, patted me on the shoulder, and said:
"Not bad! I can't see that you can cook."
I gave her a blank look, and continued walking towards the bedroom with my meal in hand, only to see Felita coming out of the library rubbing her eyes. She and I looked at each other, sniffed the fragrance in the air, and suddenly her stomach rumbled.
So when I got back to Alayah's bedroom, there was only a bowl of porridge left on the tray.
Fortunately, I can take advantage of the opportunity to feed Alaya the porridge, and secretly drink a few sips myself.
After cooling down a bowl of porridge spoonful by spoonful and feeding it into Alaiya's mouth, I was going to wash the bowls and chopsticks. When passing by the restaurant, I found Felita lying on the ground, licking the porridge in the bowl. His expression was intoxicated, his breathing was heavy, his hands were still pressed under his body, and he didn't know what he was busy with.
... just pretend you didn't see it.
After washing the dishes, I dried my hands and went back to Alayah's bedroom.
She has finished dressing, and although her right hand is still wrapped with a bandage, she still looks as heroic as usual.
I saw her hanging the sword on her waist, so I asked:
"Go out to practice sword?"
Alaya nodded.
I smiled and said:
"You can let it go for a while today. Don't you want to become stronger? Although I really don't have a way to improve your realm in a short time, I can teach you a few more unique skills."
Alaya asked curiously:
"Is it a new sword skill?"
I shook my head, pretended to be closed, and replied:
"No. Something else."
