The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 15

"Practicing swords lies in practicing." Bai Jiujiu waved a section of ox cart rope and said imposingly, "Come on, first let me, a hermit and high apprentice, see the level of you, a future junior!"

As he spoke, he pointed the end of the rope at a big tree next to him, and the young man swung his sword to chop it off.

The young man wanted to say something like "what's the relationship between sword practice and tree cutting", but Bai Jiujiu was already prepared.

"My senior brother can knock down a circle of trees with a single swing while standing."

lap!The young man frowned and looked at the density of the forest. After doing the math, wouldn't it be seven or eight trees?It seems that he is really a master.

So, when my brain became hot, I stopped protesting.Immediately, the sword came out of its sheath and swung towards the tree thicker than a human being.

In the next second, the boy regretted it. "Well", I tried again and again, but I couldn't pull out the sword no matter what.Bai Jiujiu, who was watching, felt relieved for a while.

"Tsk tsk, so you are just a flower stand. Although you dance well in front of people and your thorns are quite accurate, you are not powerless to knock down a mere small tree. No, it should be said that you are not even a single tree. I can’t even take out my sword.” Jiujiu leaned against the bullock cart and said coolly.

"Hey, are you here to teach me, or to mock me?"

No matter how good the boy Nai was, he couldn't bear being so stimulated.What's more, this young man wanted to leave home to worship a real and capable master because he was so stimulated and hurt during the day.How could he have thought that when he met this girl, he would just rely on himself to teach her, but she would still make such sarcastic remarks.

"Teaching, of course it is teaching. Why don't I point out the problem to you first, lest you doubt my level again later." Jiujiu stepped forward, regardless of the difference between men and women, immediately pulled the boy's big hand, He took him away from the big tree that couldn't fall from the sword.

"To practice swords, you must not only have the talent for practicing swords, the roots of martial arts, and a strong physique, but more importantly, you must have a flexible body." While talking, he took him and the ox cart to the forest for more than ten minutes. Mi, until some naturally broken branches began to appear frequently on the ground, and then stopped.

"So, let's start with the simplest and most basic exercises, and practice flexibility—" After a pause for two seconds, I looked at the boy's puzzled expression in the gap, and when I was sure that he would not doubt my motives, Then he continued to say solemnly: "Bend down to pick up branches."

Although the young man was full of doubts in his heart, he thought that his rebuttal just now would only bring about an even more embarrassing result, so he closed his mouth tightly this time, swallowing all the doubts in his stomach, and obediently bent over to pick them up.

Don't you just pick up a few twigs, wouldn't you still be unqualified?

When the boy walked back to Bai Jiujiu with his arms full of branches, he was thrown into the bullock cart by Bai Jiujiu's signal request.

"You, you don't want me to pick up a whole cart, do you?" The young man looked at the sawdust under the cart under the moonlight, and guessed the purpose of the cart.Damn, this girl didn't ask me to do small work for her for free in the name of teaching swords, did she?
"Oh, with your understanding, I believe Master will be willing to accept you as an apprentice!" Jiujiu was not afraid of being spotted by him, so he admitted without blushing and heartbeat.

At the end, just in case, I added a sentence: "Don't worry, I just want to take this opportunity to see what your endurance limit is."

Seeing the boy's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was about to run away in the next second, he quickly added: "Only those with a lot of stamina can carry out high-intensity training. The higher the intensity, the faster the progress. Your senior sister, I am because of I didn’t have enough stamina to learn the best methods, so I gave up halfway. It’s a pity that Master had such high hopes for me back then, alas!”

After finishing speaking, he raised his head to look at the sky, and no matter how ugly the young man's face was when he was stuck in place, he took the lead and went to the forest to pick up the branches himself.

The two of them in the woods picked it up hard, and Chunyue Tower was also nervous as if it was a trial.Although Xia Jinchai didn't need to guess, he knew that Yan Ruoling was fighting with Bai Jiujiu, but seeing Yan Ruoling's intact face, he suddenly wanted to see how useless Bai Jiujiu sent from the heaven could be.

"Mother Cai, Ruo Ling is the number one card of your Chunyue Building, if it's other mothers, it's too late to love her, so why are you conniving at a newcomer bullying her like this?"

Xia Jinchai was sitting at the table in Yan Ruoling's room, scolding Mama Cai, the proprietress of Chunyue Tower, who was completely afraid to look up at this moment.

"This...it's not really my connivance, it's really not." Mama Cai shook her head with her handkerchief full of aggrieved face, "It's all because of that new girl, who went insane for some reason. She caught it straight and then..."

"Where's the girl?" Xia Jinchai's seemingly casual but sharp eyes quickly swept across the group of colorfully dressed women behind Mama Cai, but he didn't notice that petite figure.

Well, according to Yan Ruoling's position here, it is only natural for Bai Jiujiu to be locked up and punished.

But in an instant, his gloating mood suddenly changed, and he became a little more uneasy for no reason.Because he thought that today is the fifth day of the lunar new year, which is a special day for the women in Chunyue Building.So, was she also sent to the show to be auctioned as scheduled?

Xia Jinchai's heart, which was originally watching the fun, tightened suddenly, and his face also turned slightly icy.Gradually, that strange dream that was all revealed in my mind slowly emerged. If the woman foreshadowed was really her, wouldn't I be...

"Where is the person?" The smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and he repeated it again with a raised voice.

In fact, long before he repeated this question, Mama Cai, who was standing bowed at the table, had just finished answering.I just don't know if she answered softly, her voice trembled because of nervousness so that their Lord Chai couldn't hear clearly, or this Lord Chai was so distracted that he didn't hear it!

Now Xia Jinchai slammed down the wine cup, which was still half full of wine, on the table again, causing the wine to spill.Coupled with the fact that his voice was colder and more ruthless than usual, Mama Cai trembled in fright.

"The kitchen, it's really in the kitchen!"

Mama Cai thought that Xia Jinchai was very angry because Bai Jiujiu bullied Yan Ruoling, so in order to divert his anger out on her, she hastily called Qing'er, the close maid beside her, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up and get that little bitch off!" Bring it!"

Qing'er took the order, let go of her feet and ran all the way to the kitchen.She thought that as long as Bai Jiujiu was brought in front of Lord Chai, it would be fine. The people in Chunyue Building, including their mother and themselves, would be able to return to their peaceful lives like yesterday.Unexpectedly, before the door of the backyard kitchen was knocked, the two wooden doors creaked open from the inside.Almost at the same time, a man came out from inside.
