Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 538 Enrollment
Pei Ye smiled, stroked his already smooth collar, and said gently: "I didn't expect you to have such a miraculous ability."

"Sometimes I feel very embarrassed too." The girl pursed her lips and smiled, "I always hear what is in other people's minds, but I can't remind them, so I have to walk away."

So in the eyes of others, this girl just likes to be alone and is not easy to get along with.

"Then why don't you just pretend you didn't hear it?"

"Ah?" The girl opened her almond-shaped eyes and was obviously stunned.

"As long as you don't say anything, no one will know, and they won't be embarrassed." Pei Ye smiled, "We can just pretend that this matter never happened."

"Y-really?"

"Ah."

"..."

When the sky was just beginning to brighten, the Sword Training Institute came into view.

The girl really didn't have much luggage, and the small bag was probably all her belongings. Pei Ye thanked the driver and told him to go look for Cui Zhaoye.

"Yin...er, is there anything you want to do in Shenjing?" Pei Ye had nothing to help with, and his hands were empty. "Shenjing is very big, and there are many fun places."

"..." Jiang Yin'er was stunned, as if she didn't know how to answer.

"Haven't you thought about it? It's okay, there will be many opportunities in the future." Pei Ye tilted his head and smiled.

"I have just mastered the art of swordsmanship. When I travel the world, I will do justice for the people." The girl carried her bag on her back, her face serious and upright, and then she lowered her head hesitantly, "Other things... I haven't thought about it yet."

“……” Pei Ye was slightly stunned.

"What's wrong, Brother Shi... I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay! Very good." Pei Ye looked at her and smiled seriously, "Then just go ahead and do your best."

"..."

"Is this Yin'er's first time going down the mountain?"

"Well, this is the first time I've walked so far by myself. My master has taken me to very far places, but when I went down the mountain by myself, the farthest I went was only to a small town seventy miles away from the sect..."

“There are a lot of things in the city that aren’t available in the mountains.”

"Yes! Make new clothes, go to the opera, buy sweet cakes... and..."

Pei Ye took the girl to complete everything. He first handed in the letter of recommendation and watched her write the sword-writing book. Then he took her to the tailoring room to record her body size and get a practice sword - he gave his own sword to Cui Zhaoye, and he took one of his at this time as if nothing had happened - then he took the girl into the Cangjian Tower and paid a visit to Dean Qiu Jizi and several Taoist priests one by one until noon.

Along the way, Pei Ye was quite responsible and energetic, and he must have a sense of maturity and stability. Pei Ye called himself a "brother", but Black Cat summed it up in one word as "pretending".

In short, everything was settled, so Pei Ye took her to her residence.

Choosing a place to live is indeed a time-consuming matter. Pei Ye did not want the girl to live too far away, but if he arranged for her to live next door to a remote place like "Tang Sanjian", he was afraid that she would not be able to make friends of the same sex. Finally, after some investigation and discussion, Ning Shuhong said that although their yard was full with Zuoqiu Longhua, her, and Zhu Shishi, Zhu Shishi always slept with her, and the west room was completely vacant, and she would very much welcome Shen Xiao Zhenchuan to live there.

Pei Ye stroked his chin and thought for a while. Ning Shuhong's words and deeds were upright, Zhu Shishi seemed to think of nothing else except eating and sleeping every day, and the tall Tianshan looked like a wooden man with a dull mind. The girl shouldn't be too bothered by [mind eyes] living here, nor should she be afraid of being led astray, so he thanked her and agreed to stay.

Now, after knocking politely on the door, with a voice saying "I'm coming", the door was opened to reveal Ning Shuhong's smiling face.

"Fellow cultivator Pei, it is not easy to meet you."

Pei Ye scratched his head and smiled. He had been traveling around the capital city for days, and in the Sword Training Academy he only stayed in the Sword Storage Building or the small courtyard. He was indeed the most elusive sword student of this year.

However, when Ning Shuhong saw the girl in white standing quietly behind him, her attention was no longer on him.

"I've heard about Jiang Zhen's sword-bone crane posture for a long time. Seeing it today, it's true." The woman stepped aside and said, "Please come in quickly."

This was the first time Pei Ye visited someone else's courtyard since he entered the Sword Academy. He was surprised to find that the layout of the courtyard was so different - in a courtyard that was not bigger than theirs, there was a stone table for resting, a sword practice field, a neat flower bed, two persimmon and pear trees, a unique small pond and an ancient tree in the corner of the courtyard.

It is full but not messy. Even in the cold winter scenery, it still has a unique charm.

Pei Ye frowned and studied and compared for a long time, and determined the problem - Yan Feiqing planted a big tree and placed a rocking chair in the middle, which naturally resulted in that none of the east, south, west or north could be used.

And no one else is allowed to sit on that chair.

At this time, Zhu Shishi was sitting in front of the stone table in the yard, eating her lunch. She had a round head with only two buns facing upwards. She raised her eyes only when she heard the noise.

The west room that Ning Shuhong mentioned was indeed clean and tidy. She asked Jianyuan to prepare bedding and daily necessities, and they could stay there tonight. Pei Ye discovered that the girl had a thing that opened up a space just like Zhu Gaoyang. It was a jade ornament inlaid on the handle of the [Zhao Shen] sword. The girl took out several sword books from it.

Pei Ye did not stay in the house. Ning Shuhong helped the girl to put her belongings away. He took his sword and went out. He sat at the stone table and discussed the issue of the crispness and softness of green peppers with Zhu Shishi who was eating. When he looked up again, he saw the tall woman with an ancient charm walking in from outside.

Zuoqiu Longhua was another fellow practitioner who lived a life of commuting between home and work. Pei Ye had even fewer opportunities to see her.

The woman came in and was slightly startled when she saw him. She didn't ask any questions, but she nodded and said, "Hello, fellow cultivator Pei."

If we talk about the sects in the world, Tianshan is actually one of the ones that Pei Ye is more friendly to. He also remembered that this woman seemed to have received guidance from Miss Ming, so he stood up and returned the greeting: "Hello, fellow cultivator Zuoqiu, let's meet for swordplay when we are free."

Zuoqiu Longhua nodded, turned around and walked into the house. The ancient sword on his back was slender and simple, with almost the same temperament as him. Pei Ye remembered that she had defeated Yang Zhenbing in the last swordplay. He was indeed a very powerful swordsman.

Not all swordsmen can be judged by their appearance. Some people do not seem to be special even if they always carry swords with them. When they are exhausted, their swords are also exhausted. When they are well-dressed, you can hardly tell whether the sword on their waist is a weapon or an ornament.

For example, the middle-aged man eating noodles in the alley, Zhu Gaoyang, and Pei Ye himself.

But swords are something that require extreme pursuit, which means that although a strong person may not necessarily have an outstanding temperament, a person with an outstanding temperament must be strong, such as Ming Qitian, Yan Feiqing, Yang Zhenbing, and Zuoqiu Longhua.

Often their own temperament is also a manifestation of the kendo temperament.

Pei Ye was guessing the sword-fighting style of this one of the "Seven Jades" of Tianshan. When he turned around, Jiang Yiner had already walked out.

Pei Ye smiled and said goodbye to Ning Shuhong, promising to send the girl back after dark, and left the courtyard with Jiang Yin'er.

The two of them strolled in the Sword Training Institute. The young man carefully pointed out the various buildings to her and explained many details about life in the Sword Training Institute and even in the Divine Capital. When they stopped, it was indeed dark.

Pei Ye found a stone bench and sat down. He was just about to take a rest in the garden and send her back, but he heard the girl say, "Brother Shi, where do you live?"

"Hmm? I'm just two alleys behind you, in the Gengyuan of the seventh alley. If you have any problems in the future, you can come here to find me." Pei Ye stretched his legs and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"Well... I heard that Senior Brother Yan Feiqing is also in the Sword Training Academy. Brother Shi, do you know where he lives?" Jiang Yin'er asked curiously, "I would like to choose a day to visit him."

Pei Ye paused in stretching his legs.

He looked at the girl beside him silently, with a look on her face that had just lost its childishness - Pei Ye was reluctant to admit it, but it seemed that it could indeed be called "admiration for the legend."

It even seems like I miss you a little bit.

“…” “…Hmm?” Jiang Yiner looked at him.

"Yan Feiqing..." Pei Ye retracted his legs, "Do you know each other well?"

"Hmm... Senior Brother Yan doesn't seem to be familiar with others." Jiang Yin'er thought seriously, "But when I was younger, I lived in Qingwei for three months. At that time, I practiced sword with Senior Brother Yan - at that time I thought he was very powerful, and later he really became famous in Shenjing and ranked first-class."

"Oh, I'm very familiar with him." Pei Ye said lightly.

"what?"

"We live in the same courtyard - he even asked me to name his courtyard." Pei Ye said, "He is not a very busy man, so why would he choose a date? If you want to meet him, then let's go and reminisce about the past."

"Ah... okay." Jiang Yin'er hadn't expected that this brother had such a good relationship with Senior Brother Yan, who was known for his "ruthlessness". She nodded in surprise.

In fact, she herself was not that anxious. She had known very few people since she was a child, and this was even more so after coming to Beijing. Looking around, Senior Brother Yan was already one of her more familiar ones, and as they were both Taoist disciples, this was also necessary etiquette.

The master had told her that when she met with the true disciple of his sect, she had to be courteous and serious, but the master also said that if there was anything, she could listen to the arrangements made by the brother. Since the brother said that they had a good relationship... then it shouldn't be a big deal...

The alley is still quiet.

One has to admire Yan Feiqing's vision in choosing a place to live. The Sword Training Institute is a quiet place in itself, and the alley is an even quieter place within it. As soon as you step in, your mind will naturally become much calmer.

Pei Ye raised his sword and pushed open the door. It was dinner time. Yan Yang and the others were both in the yard. The man with the red dot between his eyebrows was still lying quietly under the tree, and the bandage on his arm had been removed.

At this moment, he heard footsteps coming towards him and paused.

"Brother Yan." Jiang Yin'er bowed earnestly and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I would like to ask Qingwei how he is doing on behalf of our master."

"...Yin'er." Yan Feiqing was indeed stunned for a moment, then he actually stood up from the recliner, bowed straight and returned the greeting, with a faint smile on his face, "Thank you for your concern, Master. My master is doing well - it's been a long time."

Then he looked between Jiang Yin'er and Pei Ye twice, frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you hanging out with him?"

"...?"

Pei Ye almost didn't start a fight with him. Fortunately, Yang Zhenbing and Jiang Yin'er persuaded him, and Pei Ye had some understanding of his own strength, so he didn't really draw the sword.

Yan Feiqing and Jiang Yin'er started reminiscing about the past. The man carefully told the girl about the Taoist scriptures and sword books he had studied today. He also asked about the girl's progress in sword practice over the years. Finally, he went into the house and carefully selected a few books and his sword practice experiences for her.

Yan Feiqing's view of this junior sister was obviously very simple - she had good character, good sword quality, and was a Taoist, so she was worthy of serious treatment.

However, his opinion of Pei Ye was obviously very simple - he had good character and a good sword, and was worthy of being trusted with life and death... but not worthy of being entrusted to his junior sister.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time that the three of them frowned at each other in the courtyard. Yan Feiqing and Yang Zhenbing always said what they meant, and cold words like "Don't touch my recliner" and "Don't occupy my sword practice place" were often heard. Pei Ye thought he was normal and never scolded the two of them, but he was the one who lay on the recliner and hung clothes on the sword field.

Therefore, there is always a kind of cold bustle in the courtyard. Jiang Yin'er seems very relaxed and happy in this atmosphere. Huai Jian purses his lips and sits upright, watching the cold bickering between the world brother and the senior brother. Next to him is the cat lying lazily. Yang Zhenbing has not said much, but when he came back from going out, he also brought her a portion of the meal.

A few people gathered around the small table and finished their meal. Yang Zhenbing went to the sword field to practice swordplay, Yan Feiqing also sat back under the tree, and only Pei Ye and Jiang Yin'er sat on the roof, sitting cross-legged in silence, looking at the sparse stars in the dim night.

"Shenjing is actually like this. As long as you get to know a few more people, it won't seem so big and unfamiliar." Pei Ye smiled and said, "Anyway, you will study in the Sword Academy in the future, and you can ask everyone for help if you have any problems."

"Thank you, Brother Shi." Jiang Yin'er said seriously, sitting with her knees hugged. In just one day, the "Sword Training Academy" was indeed no longer a strange place to her.

"That's too formal." Pei Ye smiled.

After a moment of silence, the young man suddenly said, "...Yin'er."

"Ok?"

"Your master... is Ying Suyu, right?"

"……Um."

"Has she ever told you..." The boy looked up at the sky and paused for a moment, "Why the two of us... should be good together."

"..."

Pei Ye turned and looked at her.

"Master said...you are Senior Yue Muzhou's apprentice."

Even though it had been three or four months, hearing this name from someone else still made the boy's heart tremble. He was stunned for a moment and lowered his head: "...disciple?"

"Ok?"

"Nothing much. So, what is the relationship between your master and Yue...Mu Zhou?"

"...I don't know either." Jiang Yin'er also frowned slightly, and said in a daze, "I asked Master, and Master said that Senior Yue is the most important benefactor, the most caring friend, the most...annoying man, and the best swordsman in the world."

"..."

"Senior Yue... passed away, right?" The girl was silent for a while, then tilted her head and whispered, "A few months ago."

"Hmm." Pei Ye took a deep breath, "Did your master know about it at that time?"

"Well, she said... She would rather be broken like an orchid than be smeared like a sage." Jiang Yin'er whispered, "'This person will never live to old age.'"

"Hahahahaha."

Jiang Yin'er also smiled with him, and neither of them said anything else.

"I'll ask you more. I couldn't find anyone to tell you before." Pei Ye said softly, "Then, what about Grandpa Yue's youth? Do you know anything about it?"

Jiang Yin'er was stunned for a moment and paused.

"...Nothing, just chatting. You can think about it slowly. We can talk about other things first." Pei Ye smiled, "Do you have anything you want to talk about?"

"Ah..." Jiang Yin'er thought seriously, "I don't think I have anything..."

"No way, we first met, weren't you curious about me?" Pei Ye showed her the sword, "I used the sword so well last night."

"Oh, okay, I thought of one." Jiang Yin'er suddenly remembered it and was indeed quite interested.

"Hmm? Go ahead." Pei Ye smiled.

"Brother Shi, who is 'Li Piaoqing'?"

"..."
