"..."
Shen Yi looked at it calmly and raised his index finger: "First, that is your Senior Sister Lin. It has nothing to do with me. Although I took advantage of it a little, it was ultimately a deal that both of us agreed to."
Hearing this, Fang Heng's eyes widened.
"Second." Shen Yi raised another finger, and his voice suddenly became deeper: "Please ask your Senior Sister Lin to come over. I really want to see if she can draw a line at the gate of the courtyard."
After these two sentences, Fang Heng fell into confusion.
On the contrary, everyone except Li Mujin curled their lips inexplicably, looking a little lonely.
That unbearable memory came to my mind again.
In the shabby side house in Baiyun County, while Senior Sister Lin was wearing the other person's clothes and busying around, the damn man was standing by the table waiting.
Judging from that situation, what Shen Yi said was not false.
But it is most likely not based on strength, but on some other messy things.
"at last."
Shen Yi looked at the old lady who was awakened at the door of the house. Seeing that she was timidly holding the door, he smiled helplessly and spoke in a much gentler voice: "He started it first."
Grandma nodded and whispered, "I saw it all. Heng'er was ignorant. You are a good boy. You just taught him a lesson. It's a good thing to teach him a lesson. It's better than going out and being taught a lesson by others."
Hearing this, Li Xinhan and others couldn't help but shake their heads.
This mother-in-law really thought that the fight between the martial artists was just children playing around. Neither of them even had any superficial injuries, and the fight hadn't even started yet.
However, it is quite rare to see Fang Heng being humiliated.
"I'll thank you for your care these few days. I'll take my leave now."
Shen Yi bowed slightly, turned around and left the courtyard.
Seeing Fang Heng standing there in a daze with no intention of stopping him, Li Xinhan heaved a sigh of relief and followed him with everyone else.
After walking a distance, he was still a little confused: "What happened just now? Why did he suddenly withdraw?"
Li Mujin followed slowly from behind, put the dagger back, and said casually: "Who knows, maybe he sprained his waist because he ran too fast."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Yi curiously.
Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I have heard about the five unique skills that the general had when he was young. Among them, the least impressive one is the "cutting meridians and capturing dragons".
Consider Fang Heng's expression and actions just now.
She quietly looked at the other person's hand resting on the scabbard. Hmm, it was white and slender, really beautiful.
"Sister, will it affect your relationship with him?"
Li Xinhan rubbed his eyebrows with a slight headache: "After all, he is the son-in-law chosen by my father himself. When I sent you to the Demon Suppression Division, I also wanted to familiarize you with it in advance."
"Shit son-in-law."
Li Mujin retracted his gaze and said nonchalantly, "When something happens, you always bring up Senior Sister. You are just a brat who has not grown up."
Hearing this, the other people looked strange. Li Xinhan's expression changed slightly: "I didn't ask you to come. If my people hadn't stayed somewhere else, I wouldn't have asked you to come this time."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yi behind him, feeling a little surprised.
Not to mention anything else, just the indifference he showed towards Fang Hengshi was far beyond himself.
It is hard to understand how someone with such a character could come from a small place like Baiyun County.
"I'm leaving right away. Do you need anything else?"
Hearing this, Shen Yi didn't beat around the bush and nodded, saying, "I need a book on Jade Liquid Realm Kung Fu." "No... Boss Li means that we should prepare things that can be used immediately, such as weapons and protective gear." Liu Xiujie smacked his lips. What kind of train of thought was the other party having? He was going out to slay demons and what was the point of carrying a book with him?
"If you are willing to be associated with the Qingzhou Li family, I can give it to you now."
Li Xinhan stopped and said something that shocked the others: "Come to my house to be a family protector, or to find a marriage partner. It's all fine. A legitimate daughter is a little difficult, but as long as you like a concubine's daughter, I can help you find a match."
Let's not talk about the latter. After all, it's not considered too high a mark for a captain of the Demon Suppression Division to marry a girl from the side branch of the Li family.
But the worship of protecting the clan is different.
Compared to those who were hired with a lot of money, bringing the word "protect the clan" means that it is equivalent to joining the Li family and protecting them for life, and the relationship is even closer than that of the collateral clan members.
The problem is that no matter how promising Shen Yi is, or how high his understanding of martial arts is, he is currently only at the initial stage of perfection.
Even if he could break through to the Jade Liquid Realm tomorrow, as long as he hadn't broken through yet, the probability was 99% that he would not succeed.
In the art of martial arts, it may seem like you can take half a step forward, but when you turn into a handful of ashes, your foot may still be hanging in the air. This is extremely normal.
"Why not the legitimate daughter?"
Li Mujin tilted his head slightly out of curiosity.
Li Xinhan's eyes twitched twice: "Because I don't have the final say on your matter, I need Dad's consent."
"Ha." Li Mujin put his hand on Shen Yi's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, little friend, don't be nervous."
Shen Yi slapped her hand away and looked at Li Xinhan calmly: "Where is the martial arts of the Demon Suppression Division?"
"…"
Li Xinhan was a little disappointed that even such a generous treatment could not move him.
But he still patiently explained: "Although you are wearing a cloud pattern shirt, you are not a member of the Demon Suppression Division after all. This place is different from the aristocratic families outside. Outside, young people with talent and qualifications are usually taken care of like treasures."
"Because you have joined the sect, you are now a family. The stronger you are, the stronger the sect will be. You are one."
"Is it different in the Demon Suppression Division?" This was the first time Shen Yi heard this point of view.
"Of course it's different."
Li Mujin curled his lips and shook his hands: "The Demon Suppression Division has the support of the imperial court, and it does not need to become bigger and stronger. It only seeks stability in Qingzhou. Whether it is a demon or a powerful warrior, it is something that destroys the peaceful situation in Qingzhou."
"Of course, it does require sufficient force to deter all parties."
"The premise is that you have to show that you are a sword that slays demons, and not a parasite that only consumes precious medicine but is of no benefit to Qingzhou."
The beggar stepped forward and took over the conversation: "To put it bluntly, work first, then eat... At least when you show the cloud pattern on your sleeves, you will have some achievements to back you up."
"As a reward, the return from the Demon Suppression Division will exceed the upper limit of what any sect can give."
"For example, the Wind and Thunder Melting Sun Treasure Book that breaks through the Jade Liquid Realm can be seamlessly connected to the Wind and Thunder Treasure Scroll. There are several books in Qingzhou that have functions beyond it in the Jade Liquid. Even if you count the ones that are rumored, you can't find three."
As he spoke, the beggar looked at the Li siblings next to him and organized his words: "The Li family is already a very famous family in Qingzhou. Their family-inherited internal energy only connects 126 acupoints, while the internal energy of the Demon Suppression Division can activate 270 acupoints, more than doubling the efficiency of cultivation."
"Hello!"
Li Xinhan couldn't help but kick him: "You know best."
"…"
Shen Yi retracted his gaze and tightened his grip on the knife.
