Mortal Mirror

Hearing Li Ergou's concern, Zhu Zhu felt very happy and told Li Ergou, "It's nothing serious. After taking the Bone Renewal Pill, it won't be long before I'm completely healed."

Li Ergou was relieved and said, "That's good. In a few days, you'll be jumping around again. By the way, there's one more thing I haven't told you."

Zhu Zhu asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Do you remember that cat?"

"The black cat? Of course, I remember. Didn't it run away?"

"You don't know, it actually came back, and it also brought back Zhao Tuozi's other mount, that black-bearded goat. Now they insist on following me, and I'm keeping them in the backyard of the martial arts hall."

Zhu Zhu said in surprise, "Oh, I see. After the black cat came out, it looks like it went to find its partner. That guy can remember people's scents, so it's easy for it to find you. That's good. That black cat is a spirit beast. Following you might be a great help to you in the future."

Li Ergou nodded and said, "That's true, but that black cat is strange. I hope it doesn't do anything harmful. After I go back, I have to make it clear to it. By the way, it can really understand human speech, and so can that black-bearded goat."

Zhu Zhu was not surprised, but said, "Otherwise, why would it be called a spirit beast? By the way, I once heard Zhao Tuozi call it Thirteen. You don't need to give it a name in the future, just call it that."

"Thirteen, what an ugly name, but it's easy to say. Okay, I'll call it Thirteen from now on."

Zhu Zhu seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately said, "By the way, let Uncle Qian teach you some movement techniques, otherwise it's useless to have a strong body but not be able to use it. It's a pity that Uncle Qian cultivates the divine path and can't teach you martial arts techniques at all, he can only teach you some simple boxing and footwork."

Li Ergou originally wanted to refuse, but he understood that this might be what Zhu Zhu begged for. After all, both cultivation techniques and ordinary martial arts are very important, and generally, they are not passed on to outsiders.

He didn't want to go against her good intentions. With her personality, she would definitely get angry, so he nodded and showed a happy look, saying, "Okay."

Zhu Zhu immediately asked the servant waiting at the door to call Qian Qian.

The two chatted happily. At the door, Liu Teng looked at the two people in the yard through the crack in the door. Seeing their happy appearance, his eyes were almost spitting fire, and a deep sense of jealousy was overflowing.

He thought to himself, a mud leg dares to touch Zhu Zhu, it's really hateful. You two dogs, just wait.

At this moment, he heard footsteps and immediately retreated, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Qian Qian came to the door and couldn't help but look into the distance, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't think much about it and pushed the door open to enter the courtyard.

When Zhu Zhu saw Qian Qian, she immediately shouted happily, "Uncle Qian, you haven't thanked Ergou for the last time. You have to help me with what I told you."

Of course, Zhu Zhu told Qian Qian the truth about what happened that day, but she concealed the matter of Li Ergou peeking at her. Even if she forgave Ergou, once Uncle Qian knew about this, he would kill Ergou for her reputation. Naturally, she couldn't let Uncle Qian do that.

Qian Qian knew that Zhu Zhu was saved by Li Ergou, so he was naturally grateful. Therefore, when Zhu Zhu told him, he also readily agreed.

However, after he put his hand on Li Ergou's wrist to check his bones, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "With your condition, being able to open the martial path is really luck that you have cultivated for countless lifetimes. But even so, your future path will be very difficult, because your bones are too poor.

To give a simple example, if others can improve five levels of cultivation by eating a pill, you may not even improve one level. In other words, even if you work hard for five years, it won't be as fast as others' progress in one year.

I advise you to be an ordinary boy. The path of martial arts is not something you can shoulder."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhu felt sorry for Li Ergou and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Qian, is there no other way?"

Qian Qian shook his head and said, "What else can be done? This is innate, something that no one can change. If he wants to improve, he must have a massive amount of spiritual medicine, pills, and rare treasures to use. Unfortunately, not to mention him, a poor boy, even our mansion probably wouldn't use so many things to cultivate a waste."

Zhu Zhu's face changed, and she rarely said angrily, "Uncle Qian, he is not a waste, I don't allow you to say that about him."

Qian Qian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the little girl to be angry because of this sentence. You know, he had been by her side for many years, and she had never been so angry.

He couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at Li Ergou, who was just an ordinary person, dark and thin, and not very tall. He wondered in his heart, what kind of ecstasy did this kid give Zhu Zhu, that he actually made Zhu Zhu rebel for the first time.

Although he thought so in his heart, his face changed and he immediately showed a smile, saying, "Okay, okay, Miss, I'll listen to you. Why are you still angry with Uncle Qian?"

Zhu Zhu felt uncomfortable and said with some grievance, "Uncle Qian, I'm sorry, I'm just a little sad."

In fact, Zhu Zhu didn't know why, but when she heard these words, she felt sad for Li Ergou. It was too difficult for him, too difficult. But God had never sympathized with him, so that although he opened the martial path, he couldn't cultivate anything. He was too pitiful.

Her heart inexplicably ached for him, and she didn't even know why, so she said those words to Uncle Qian.

Seeing Zhu Zhu protecting him like this, Li Ergou felt a warmth in his heart. So this is what it feels like to be cared for. He was grateful in his heart, but he was not sad.

Seeing Zhu Zhu's appearance, he immediately comforted her, "It's nothing. Actually, I never thought I could achieve anything. I just want to pass the martial arts exam with my own ability in the future. Then I can leave the Huang family and be a free person."

Seeing Li Ergou so relieved, Zhu Zhu felt a little better. She also knew that Li Ergou had no great ambitions. Perhaps this was better, and he could live more happily.

Hearing the word freedom, she said, "Ergou, you said you were sold to the Huang family, and they have your contract of sale. I'll let Uncle Qian redeem your contract of sale now, so you can be free now."

Hearing this, Li Ergou was overjoyed and looked forward to it, saying, "Really?"

Zhu Zhu looked at Qian Qian and said, "Uncle Qian?"

Hearing this, Qian Qian's mind moved, but he had his own ideas.

So he hesitated slightly and slowly said, "Miss, this matter may not be easy to handle. According to Ergou, the Huang family is a local landlord.

This kind of person doesn't have too many weaknesses. Although our palace is powerful, we can't reach this place. If they don't want to, I can't do anything. But I can inform the Liu family head and see if he can do it."
