The shopkeeper scoops up two layers of white and tender tofu brains with a shovel and puts them in a black porcelain bowl, scoops up the boiled soup with a large spoon and pours it on top, then dots two drops of yellow sesame oil, and finally sprinkles with coriander.

"Come on, guest officer, your tofu brain and puff pastry are burned. ”

Hu Ran was already staring at the big black bowl hungry, and immediately buried his head in eating.

Ning Du slowly ate the tofu brain and did not speak.

"Hiccup—" Hu Ran looked at Ning Du after he was full.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Can't read it?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Stingy. Hu Ran turned his head away. "Why don't we stay a few more days with Sister Xi'er?"

"You're going to school. ”

"I don't want to go. ”

"Tofu brain still doesn't want you to eat it, isn't it still eaten by you?" Ning Du said angrily.

Hu Ran looked at the bottom of the empty bowl and couldn't think of anything to refute, so she turned to ask, "Young master, why don't you let Sister Xi'er go to live with us?"

"You asked the same question twice. ”

"Even if it's the same question, what I asked yesterday is different from what I asked today. ”

My answer is the same. ”

"Young Master, what are you talking about?" asked Hu Ran with a look of bewilderment.

Ning Du didn't want to deal with Hu Ran, and shouted: "Boss, settle the bill." ”

"Okay, two bowls of tofu brain, six puff pastries, and a stack of pickles, a total of twenty wen. ”

Ning Du paid the money to the boss, and without waiting for Hu Ran, he walked in the direction of Qingteng Garden alone.

Hu Ran pursed her lips, she had to catch up with Ning Du, and once again stepped into the green pear orchard that gave her a headache, facing the Bian Jiaoxi who was always a bitter gourd face, she really didn't want to face this kind of life.

After entering the Qingteng Garden, Ning Du did not go to the Forgotten Pavilion or to the Firefly Lake, but returned to Sima E's class.

"Is it Ning Du?"

"Why is he here?"

"Does a person like him still need to come and listen to Sima Jiaoxi's lessons again? Now Sima Jiaoxi may not be able to beat Ning Du. ”

"What do you mean not necessarily? That's for sure! I heard that Ning Du also killed a Tongxuan Realm a few days ago! Sima Jiaoxi is okay, but he can't fight. ”

"It's really fake, it's hard to kill Tongxuan, I don't dare to comment like this!"

“......”

Sima E was not so surprised by Ning Du's appearance, and still lectured according to his original preparations.

"Yesterday we talked about the refinement of the vitality of the douzhuan, and today we will talk about the five most basic transformation methods of the vitality, that is, the five transformations of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which can also be said to be the foundation of the 'technique'......"

The things that Sima E talked about are recorded in many classics on cultivation, and most of the students who have been to the Forgotten Pavilion to read the classics feel that Sima Yi's teachings are too verbose, and they have already learned these things, and the details are just some dispensable things, because they all look absent-minded when they listen to the class.

Ning Du's arrival diverted most of the attention of the students who didn't really want to listen to the class, but they had too many things to see and speculate in their hearts waiting to communicate with others, but they couldn't talk about it directly in class.

In the entire school, Ning Dudu was the only one who listened carefully to the class from beginning to end.

"Alright, that's the end of today's lesson. All students must lay a solid foundation, don't be ambitious, ginseng bamboo is a must be practiced every day, followed by the role of insight and fighting. Of course, what I talked about today also has to go back and review. The ancients said: Reviewing the old and learning the new can be a teacher. ”

Sima E's exhortation after class made people feel calloused, and all the students responded in unison, and immediately left these behind after saluting.

Ning Du followed Sima E out of the school.

"What's the matter, classmate Ning Du?" asked Sima E.

"Sima Jiaoxi, do you think I'm getting stronger?"

"Is it new than you?"

"Hmm. ”

"Stronger, stronger. Sima E said sincerely. In his cognition, even Shang Chonggu's cultivation speed was not so fast, and Ning Du was definitely the person he had ever seen with the fastest cultivation speed.

"But I didn't feel like I was getting stronger. Ning Du looked at Sima E and said seriously.

Sima E looked at Ning Du and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"I've met people who are stronger than me. ”

Sima E thought for a while and said, "So you don't think you've gotten stronger?"

"Hmm. ”

"Are you afraid of losing?"

Ning Du thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid." But I don't want to lose. ”

"Then it's better to lose. You've been to the Hundred Refining Tower of Shenfeng Academy, and being unyielding is for Hundred Refinement. Since you don't want to lose so much, go ahead and try to lose. ”

Ning Du looked at Sima E, who had a calm face, and nodded.

It would be impossible to say that Ning Du's strength never became stronger, but the reason why Ning Du said that he did not become stronger was because he felt that his state of mind could not become stronger, and he could not cope with any situation peacefully, his heart for winning was too strong, and he told himself from beginning to end that he must not lose. In fact, after all, he is just a sixteen-year-old boy. No one can be absolutely perfect from the beginning, standing at the top, he always has to see what he has not seen, so as to become strong step by step.

Ning Du is not a person without ideas, he just wants to return to the original point when he returns to the academy. If the road ahead is impassable, he will always return to the original starting point, step by step, and find his own problems to improve.

"Sima Jiaoxi is right, I always don't want to lose, but I never thought about what happens after I lose, what will happen to me if I lose?"

Instead of making countless assumptions, it is better to see the bloody reality.

Ning Du bowed respectfully to Sima E and said, "Thank you Sima for teaching, I know what I should do." ”

Sima E said: "You must not be in a hurry, your road is still very long, so long that no one can see the end, you must not be in a hurry." ”

Ning Du understood. ”

"Senior brother can't be mistaken, and I can't be mistaken. Sima E said with some relief.

Ning Du smiled and said, "Sima Jiaoxi, are you praising me or yourself?"

Sima E said righteously: "Of course I'm praising you!"

"Thanks for the compliment, I'm leaving, Sima Jiaoxi. Ning Du already understood what he needed to do, and there was no longer that horizontal mountain in his heart, and he walked briskly.

Sima E looked at Ning Du's back, and Gu Zi muttered: "You haven't fallen off the altar, you haven't fallen into the abyss, until you step into the peak again, you can truly become the number one in the world." You still have a long way to go, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. ”

After muttering for a while, Sima E began to ponder what Ning Du had just said.

"Is that sentence praising myself, or is it praising myself? How could I possibly boast of myself? But it sounds like I'm boasting...... How could I boast of myself? When did I become so brazen? If so, didn't I just say it wrong? That is absolutely not possible, I have to go to Ning Du and tell him that I was just praising myself......

The turbulent waves in Fangyuan City are far from being transmitted to the heavenly capital, and even if they do, no one will believe it, and there is no truth or falsehood of what happened in such a strange place, it is better to believe in the scandal of a certain senior member of the DPRK and the Central Committee who was caught by his wife.

The teahouse is still the same as the teahouse, and it has not been a little more stormy because of this. It's just that today's teahouse has an extra teenager wearing a hat.

"No money, no money, what kind of tea do you drink?" As soon as the shopkeeper heard that the other party said that he had no money, his eyebrows immediately raised an inch high, and he began to pull up his cuffs and prepare to beat the other party and throw it out.

"Look, it's another poor boy who wants to go to the end of the world with a sword after listening to a few commentaries, and he is dressed up and looks good. ”

After a few more beatings, he woke up, let go of his unrealistic illusions, and followed his father to sell fish honestly. ”

"According to me, those stories that teach people to be lofty and far-sighted are more harmful than big smoke! Once you fall into superstition and believe in evil, this person will take a detour!"

“......”

"I don't have money to drink tea, and I order the most expensive one! I don't ask who opened our teahouse! I think I'm a hero with a sword and a broken hat?! Today, my uncle will teach you how to be a man!" The shopkeeper raised his hand suddenly.

"I paid for this person's money. Just as the shopkeeper raised his hand and was about to fall, someone in the corner spoke, and put a silver ingot on the table.

"Yo, you're really rich! Don't you really think you're going to meet some genius in a million?" The people at the table next to him love to watch this kind of excitement so much, and the stories born in their minds are more exciting than storytelling.

The shopkeeper turned his head to look at it, and immediately turned into a smiling face and ran over to get the silver.

The young man under the hat glanced up at each other slightly and walked out of the teahouse. Seeing that the young man had disappeared, the people at the table next to him hurriedly followed, leaving more than three times the tea money, and the shopkeeper quickly stuffed it into his pocket.

The man chasing the boy chased him to an alley, he thought he was fast enough, but he still didn't catch up, but when he turned around, he saw the boy wearing a hat, and the boy's sword was already pointed at his throat.

"What a fast sword!" The person who caught up thought that he was also the strength of the Xuan Realm, and he didn't even notice this sword at all, if he really fought with the other party, he would be dead at this time. However, he was not afraid, but was glad to have found such an incomparably terrifying young man.

The boy didn't speak, and the sword in his hand seemed to have improved a point.

Feeling the death very clearly, the man did not panic, and said: "Such a young talent, there is no shortage of money, what is lacking is an opponent, am I right?"

The boy's hand holding the sword did not move again.

"There are few people in the whole sky who can match such a fast sword, let alone someone your age. But I have a man here, and his sword is not necessarily slower than yours. ”

The chill on the sword seemed to have weakened a little, and the person who caught up continued: "This person is Shang Chonggu's disciple - Ning Du!"
