Half a month later, far away in a forest in the Xia Kingdom.

I have to say that Keiko Miyamoto's physique is different from ordinary people, ordinary people have such a serious injury to their calves, it takes at least a month or two to be able to get out of bed and walk, and Miyamoto Keiko has only been able to get out of bed carefully after half a month, although she still needs the help of crutches, but this recovery speed is already very surprising.

According to the old man's words, Miyamoto Keiko and Li Mubai only need to walk along a path in front of the cabin, and they can get out of this forest in less than ten days, but this needs to be based on the premise that Miyamoto Keiko recovers from her injury.

In the morning, Keiko Miyamoto was already impatient to lean against the wooden wall and wave the moon blade in her hand, as the opponent Jiang Rongrong met became stronger and stronger, Keiko Miyamoto had less and less confidence in her own strength, Keiko Miyamoto didn't want to let go of any time to practice swords, Keiko Miyamoto had never been so eager to improve her strength, even if Keiko Miyamoto was defeated by her men in the past, she was not so eager.

Li Mubai, who was sitting on a tree on the periphery of the cabin, watched with interest Keiko Miyamoto constantly waving the moon blade, the two got along for half a month, perhaps because the two had a feeling of sympathy for each other, and both of them had a vague good impression of each other, even Keiko Miyamoto, who had a cold personality, was no longer as cold as before, and now Keiko Miyamoto, who took off her veil, was like a young lady next door, both beautiful and gentle.

"Hahahaha!"

Just as Li Mubai was admiring Keiko Miyamoto's exquisite swordsmanship, an untimely burst of laughter came into Li Mubai's ears.

Obviously, this burst of laughter was made by the old man, who was sitting on the ground weaving straw rope without grace, and the work in his hands did not stop, and the laughter in his mouth did not stop.

Keiko Miyamoto had already guessed that the old man should be a hidden master, and when she heard the old man's laughter, Keiko Miyamoto couldn't help but bow her head in shame and laugh rarely.

Li Mubai's two eyes stared at the silhouette of the old man and turned, and soon a trace of ill intentions appeared on Li Mubai's face.

Li Mubai quickly changed his face, pretending to be unhappy and looking at the old man with a frown: "Hey...... Old man, don't you know that it's rude to interrupt someone else's sword practice?"

Of course, Keiko Miyamoto didn't know Li Mubai's thoughts, and after hearing Li Mubai's complaints, Keiko Miyamoto shook her head at Li Mubai very vaguely and signaled Li Mubai not to do this.

The old man continued to laugh indifferently: "You kid, when you first came, you kept calling uncles, but now it's okay, just call me old man!" Alas, as for the laughter I just had...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault...... I am...... I just can't help it, I'm sorry!"

Li Mubai pretended to be puzzled and tilted his head to stare at the old man: "This ...... Isn't it funny?"

"It's not funny......"

"Then you're still smiling so happily......"

The old man shook his head and explained, "I just think it...... With such a bad swordsmanship, this female doll will practice so seriously...... It's funny, it's a pity!"

"Such a bad swordsmanship?" The corners of Li Mubai's mouth raised slightly, and the old man had already taken the bait, "Hey...... Although I don't know any martial arts, Keiko's swordsmanship is the most mysterious swordsmanship I've ever seen, and Keiko's marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat are all first-class strong, what you say is so awesome, you drag yourself like something, let me ask you, are you very strong?"

The old man glanced at Li Mubai on the tree, and then stopped what he was doing and stood up.

The old man looked at Keiko Miyamoto deeply, and his eyes continued to flicker with fine light: "Female doll, let me ask you, you answer me honestly! Who is your master?"

Keiko Miyamoto told the old man truthfully without any concealment: "Senior, I have two masters, I am from Hattori Blue Moon, and martial from Miyamoto Mingcheng!"

"Miyamoto Mingcheng?" the old man touched his chin and shook his head after thinking about it carefully, "I haven't heard of it, it must be just a small person, I have heard of the female doll of Hattori Blue Moon, but why don't you let Hattori Blue Moon teach you martial arts? If you follow Hattori Blue Moon, your current skills will definitely not be so weak!"

"This ......" Keiko Miyamoto didn't know how to explain the complicated relationship between herself and Hattori Blue Moon for a while.

The old man didn't mean to ask, but sighed regretfully: "It's a pity...... It's a pity! Such a good seedling was ruined in the hands of a small person, if your master has half the level of me, you can definitely be among the top 100 in the global master rankings now, and if your master is me, even if you are not 30 years old now, it is enough to break into the top 50 in the global master rankings!"

"Hahahaha!" This time it was Li Mubai's turn to laugh.

The old man turned his head and glared at Li Mubai dissatisfied: "Hey, silly boy, what are you laughing at?"

Li Mubai glanced at the old man deeply: "It's nothing, I just think it's a pity, alas! If Keiko's master is me, with Keiko's potential, maybe he will already be in the top ten of the world's master rankings!"

The old man heard the ridicule in Li Mubai's mouth, but the old man didn't care, just looked Li Mubai up and down with interest: "Boy...... Although you were tricking me from the beginning, and your agitation method was rotten, smelly, and low-level, my old man has to admit that your agitation method has worked! Female doll, old man, I have never instructed anyone except my apprentice, so I will make an exception today!"

Li Mubai was not embarrassed when he heard the old man's words and explain his radical method, but just looked at the old man and Keiko Miyamoto expectantly.

The old man picked up a branch on the ground casually, and after weighing the branch in his hand a few times, the old man turned around and looked at Keiko Miyamoto again: "Female doll, you have to look carefully!"

"But ......," Keiko Miyamoto had a look of embarrassment on her face.

"But what? Do you look down on the old man? Do you think that the old man is not worthy of instructing you? Or do you think that your swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world and you don't need other people's guidance?" the old man looked at Keiko Miyamoto with a smile.

Keiko Miyamoto hesitated for a moment and then shook her head gently: "No......"

"And what other concerns do you have?"

Keiko Miyamoto looked at the old man with a complicated expression: "But senior...... I...... You are a native of Xia Kingdom, and you must have been the top master of Xia Country when you were young, and I ...... I was born in the Orient...... I ...... with my seniors"

"I'll ask you!" the old man interrupted Keiko Miyamoto's words, "Is your current nationality Xia Guo?"

Keiko Miyamoto nodded without any hesitation: "Since my family betrayed me, I don't belong to the Toyo Country, I don't belong to the Miyamoto family......"

"That's it! You don't need to have any scruples, you can have this idea, I am very satisfied with the old man, your character is very good for my appetite! If it weren't for the old man, I already had an apprentice, and I would take you as an apprentice if I said anything about the old man today, but even if I can't accept you as an apprentice, it's okay to instruct you in swordsmanship, marksmanship, and hand-to-hand combat!" The old man held the branch tightly with his right hand, his hands behind his back, and his whole body exuded a burst of domineering momentum.

Keiko Miyamoto obviously still has concerns: "But ...... Senior, like this...... Is it really possible?"

"Why not?" the old man laughed, "Female doll, listen well, martial arts are not a kind of cultural inheritance! The inheritance of martial arts is regardless of age, gender, skin color, race, or nationality! There is only good and evil, and martial arts are in the hands of the good, which is the sword of the king, and martial arts in the hands of the evil are the bloodthirsty sword!"

"Huh?" Miyamoto Keiko couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise when she heard the old man's words, this is the first time Miyamoto Keiko has heard this kind of words from the old man, and at the same time, Miyamoto Keiko also feels deep admiration for the old man's broad mind, maybe only this kind of majestic person can become the top powerhouse in this world!

The old man continued: "Although I am old, old man, my eyes are not blind, and in the past half a month, old man, I have long known the good and evil characters of the two of you! You, who are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, are loyal to your beliefs, although you are a little more murderous, but you are a person who is the same on the outside and on the inside, not hypocritical, not pretentious! I like people like you very much! In some ways, you are very similar to the old man and my apprentice, but ...... She's a little more stubborn than you! Maybe she's younger than you!"

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Li Mubai on the tree again, and continued: "As for this stupid boy, what are you...... Hot on the outside and cold on the inside, it looks like he's familiar with everyone, but there are very few people who can really be your friends, but once you are a friend, you will never betray him, you kid, a little clever and a little tricky, is a decisive person, but your kid is the same as a female doll, a little more murderous, look at the two of you, I am curious, what kind of person has what kind of ability to control the two of you! That person must not be simple, right?"

The old man lowered his head and pondered for a while, then continued to talk to himself: "But that person is really lucky, he can get the help of the two of you at the same time, one is one and one martial arts, one brave and one strategic, it can be regarded as a perfect match, and it is really amazing!"

Keiko Miyamoto and Li Mubai broke their personalities when they heard the old man's understatement, and both of them stayed in place in surprise, the old man in front of them, who was not good-looking, was not only a top powerhouse in martial arts, but also had a pair of vicious eyes in the study of human nature.

The old man suddenly patted his head hard: "Hey...... Look at my memory, it's off topic! Okay, don't grind and chirp, girl play, you see, how I came out with a sword!"

Maybe the old man knew that Li Mubai was an ordinary person who was not good at martial arts, and there was no need to avoid it at all, after the old man finished speaking, he shook the branch in his hand proudly without any worries.

Keiko Miyamoto looked blankly at the branch in the old man's hand, the old man used the branch instead of the sword to teach Keiko Miyamoto a set of exquisite swordsmanship, in Miyamoto Keiko's view, although the old man's swordsmanship looks disorganized, but there seems to be some mysterious connection in it.

In this way, the old man tirelessly taught his swordsmanship to Keiko Miyamoto, while Keiko Miyamoto sat quietly on the ground beside him, with a hint of surprise on his face, sometimes a hint of doubt, and sometimes a hint of joy.

Li Mubai, who was sitting on the tree, saw Keiko Miyamoto who was in a state of selflessness, and couldn't help but touch his chin lightly: "I've heard about how strong Keiko is before, and then I heard Glory say that Keiko Miyamoto who takes off her veil is like Ultraman transforming, how strong she is, and now ...... After this old man's guidance, I'm afraid Keiko's skills are about to take a big step forward......! Evolve, Keiko, make your evolution more ferocious!"
