Zongwu: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 88

In February, the snow on the top of Guiyuanmen has not disappeared.

After traveling for a year, Ning Xiu came back here.

Ning Xiu returned to Guiyuanmen Mountain Gate two days ago, rested overnight, and stayed at home for another day before coming to visit Master's family.

Because it was informed in advance, as soon as Ning Xiu arrived at the inner courtyard, he saw Master's family waiting here.

The master and the mother stood side by side, smiling, while Li Jiner was held by the teacher, covering her mouth and giggling.

"Ning'er."

"Ning'er, you're back."

Ning Xiu respectfully said: "Disciple pays homage to Master, Master."

As soon as he raised his head, he saw his wife looking at him, and then heard her say: "Ning'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have lost weight after traveling hard, so you should make up for it when you come back this time."

The master said again: "It is true that you have lost weight, but you look more restrained and stable. You have gained a lot outside, and you have surpassed your innate ability."

There are many eyeliners in Guiyuanmen, all over the world. Li Yun is very clear about the important things Ning Xiu has done, and even because of the token, he even knows Ning Xiu's whereabouts.

He became a congenital master in less than the year of double tenth, and the accumulation is also profound. This kind of talent is hard to find in the world, and he has caught up with himself back then.

Li Yun looked at Ning Xiu and felt even more relieved.

"As the master said, the disciple has gained a lot after practicing outside for a year. He has improved a lot in martial arts, and the same is true for the tempering of his mind."

Li Jin'er hadn't seen her for a year, and she was a little fatter and taller, but she noticed Ning Xiu's strangeness, and asked, "What's the matter with the injury on your neck?"

"Ning'er, show me what's going on."

As soon as the words came out, the teacher's wife looked carefully at Ning Xiu's neck and saw that there were indeed several light red stalks.

Ning Xiu explained: "I scratched this myself. My neck is a little itchy. I accidentally scratched it. It's a small matter."

"That's right, you have to be careful in the future, don't scratch too hard." The teacher's wife was relieved, and asked Ning Xiu how he was on the way.

Li Jin'er on the side smacked her lips, thinking to herself, maybe a good friend was caught, and if she said that she was caught by herself, she knew it was a lie.

"Master and mother, this is a wish from this disciple, please accept it."

At this time, Ning Xiu changed the subject and took out the gifts he had prepared in advance. The ones for his wife were a few pieces of beautiful jade, and the ones for his teacher were two secret books of "Northern Underworld Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu".

These two martial arts have their own unique features, although I don't know if they will be useful to the master, but considering that the master is obsessed with martial arts, these two martial arts are good gifts.

"Ning'er has a heart."

After receiving the presents, the two greeted Ning Xiu to come in, saying that the food was prepared and they were waiting for Ning Xiu to come to eat.

Ning Xiu followed behind the master, and Li Jin'er gave him a look, as if asking why he didn't prepare a gift for her.

Seeing this, Ning Xiu's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound. Li Jin'er understood his lip language, and then she frowned slightly.

Several people were eating delicious food at the dinner table, and chatting about homework, because Ning Xiu came back after so long, the topics were almost all about Ning Xiu.

Several people were chatting, only Li Jin'er ate in silence, a large bowl in front of him was steaming, and a few soft boiled bones protruded from the nod, inside was also soaked with exquisite crystal shrimp dumplings, the aroma lingered on people's nerves , and was wiped out by her in a short while.

"Ning'er, you are running around outside, you must not eat well, come, try this." The teacher's wife brought some food for Ning Xiu as she spoke, and watched Ning Xiu happily finish the food she had picked up.

"Ning'er, Yaoyao just likes you. Don't look at her like this now. Ever since you went out, she would read your name when she was free and asked me when you would come back."

"Yes, there is such a thing."

"Ahem, ahem...how can this happen!"

Li Jin'er was eating, and almost choked when he heard this, his mouth was covered with sugar scum, and his cheeks were so rounded that he looked more like a white rice ball.

She looked at Ning Xiu, who was sitting upright at the side, looking at her with light-colored eyes like green tea, giggling.

It's over, and Ning Xiu will laugh at him as a pig again.

She was thinking like this, but she heard Ningxiu say with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yaoyao is at the age of growing up, so it's better to eat more. If I eat with Yaoyao, I would rather eat less by myself, and eat more. Raise her to be white and fat."

The teacher smiled and patted Li Jin'er's head, then handed over a handkerchief. Li Jin'er's face was hot, and her toes were clenched tightly.

"Yaoyao, eat well."

Suddenly there was an extra piece of meat in the bowl, and when he looked up, he saw that Ning Xiu had picked it up. Li Jin'er stayed there, then poked it a few times with his chopsticks, and then ate it viciously.

……

After dinner, Ning Xiu returned to his small courtyard, looked up at the warm sun, and bathed in it.

Ning Xiu's expression was indifferent, looking a little cold, but his eyes were very clear and peaceful, without showing any sharpness, with a kind of elegance that was neither humble nor overbearing.

There was a sound of footsteps, and then a girl spoke softly, her voice was melodious, and Yan Nian seemed to be singing a long Qing song:
"Ningxiu, where's my gift?"

Hearing this, Ning Xiu turned around, held a box in both hands, looked at Li Jin'er, and said with a smile:

"Here, how could I forget the gift I gave you?"

She also saw Ning Xiu's face at this moment, and couldn't help but feel suffocated, she quickly lowered her head, and could hear her own beating heartbeat.

Ning Xiu was standing facing north at this time, with his back to the light, and the midday sun was hitting behind him, coating him with a thin layer of warm outline.No matter whether he turned his eyes, raised his eyebrows, blinked or opened his mouth, every movement on his face was warm and moist in the sunlight.

It's really different, he looks serious... pretty good looking.

Li Jin'er raised his eyes to look at Ning Xiu, and murmured, "I...I, didn't you promise me not to get hurt——who made the scratches on your neck."

Ning Xiu was taken aback, recalling this matter, raised his eyebrows and said, "I did this by accident, why don't you believe it?" He sent the gift forward, and said, "Okay, here's the gift for you , you can’t say I don’t remember you.”

When Ning Xiu handed over the gift, the wide embossed cuff slid down his wrist a little bit, revealing the dark red scary scar on Ning Xiu's left wrist. One point, so repeated several times.

The wound was still new and hadn't completely scabbed over.

Li Jin'er was a little distressed, and asked him: "Does it still hurt? I have medicine here, and the effect is very good. Would you like to apply some."

"No need, the medicine has already been used, it's just a skin injury, and it will heal soon." Ning Xiu's finger touched the back of Li Jin'er's hand unconsciously, and quickly retracted it, covering up the scar well.

"Oh."

Li Jin'er noticed this, lowered her eyes, and tried to focus on this gift.

"Take a look, it must be a surprise."

Hearing this, Li Jiner's eyes seemed to be ignited again, like extinguished candles, flickering with erratic light, she opened the box carefully, and inside were two shining gems, reflecting the luster like a dream in the sunlight , and the bottom is the rolled drawing paper.

"I'll hold it for you." Ning Xiu helped Li Jiner carry the box.

"Is it for me alone, or for all the sisters?"

Ning Xiu said helplessly, "It must be for you alone."

"Do not believe!"

The paper was very thin. She untied the knot and unfolded it slowly. It was a picture of herself with a smile on her face and every detail was clearly visible. She was stunned.

"Does it look like that, huh?"

"Very similar, thank you brother." Li Jin'er said softly.

"Take this as a birthday gift for you. There is another gift, which will take a while to give you."

"My brother gave it to me. I like it." As she said this, her eyes dimmed again.

Don't treat me like this, look at you, then look at me, what's good about me, it's worth what you do for me.

You don't have to.

Li Jin'er felt as if her heart had been pricked by a steel needle, but she forced a smile on her face.

"What's the matter with you, are you sick?" Ning Xiu noticed something wrong with her face and asked.

Girls' minds are always weird, especially Li Jin'er, he can't figure it out.

"It's nothing Brother, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

Ning Xiu was silent for a while before speaking:
"Okay... go slowly, I'll see you off."

Holding the box, Li Jin'er slowly walked out of Ningxiu's courtyard.Holding the paper, she heard the sound of Ning Xiu closing the door, and looked back at the closed door for a long time.

Li Jin'er came back to his senses when it was snowing in the sky, carefully rolled up the painting, carefully put the thin painting in his clothes and tidied it up, looking at the snow scene with a little numbness.

She was quite bored with the years in the mountains, living in the palaces and courtyards of Guizang Peak all day, looking at the same buildings, the same scenery, and the same sunrise and moonset, she always felt that time was so boring.

Seeing the sun rise every day, Li Jiner wonders when it will set.When the sun finally sets and the moon rises, she will think about when the sun will come out, the sun will rise and set, the moon will rise and the moon will disappear. Repeat this more than 300 times, and she will be one year older.

Mom and Dad always urge me to study hard and practice martial arts, and I rarely take me out to play, and once in a while, it is also closely watched.

There are not many playmates around, except for a few maids who can only say yes, good, those elders don't know how to play with this little girl, and people of similar age are afraid of her because of her status.

Only Ning Xiu was different.

This person who accidentally broke into her life, his appearance, his tone of voice, the temperature of his fingers, and his style of doing things, were all exactly what she wanted.

Li Jin'er thought, how long is the process of falling in love with a person?

It's long at a glance.

Just like when Yang Guo first met Xiaolongnv, on that cold moonlit night, everyone bullied him, and everyone didn't understand him...Only that fairy-like person was willing to protect him, teach him martial arts, and be his lover.

At that moment, a glance of ten thousand years.

Even though Li Jin'er told herself that the more attractive a man is, the more harmful he is, she still couldn't avoid it.

80.00% of her hate Ning Xiu, she has jealousy, timidity, and low self-esteem.

But there are still 20.00% who like him, without any flaws.
