Xie Xing finally failed to make a decent bowl of noodles, and struggled to give up until the evening.

When he sneaked back to the right wing from the kitchen, he happened to bump into Chu Liuxiang, who was idle and had nothing to do, and the other party casually asked what you are doing with this look.

This question really made him feel bitter: "I want to make a bowl of noodles for my sister, but it's so difficult to cook!" ”

Chu Liuxiang looked at his grizzled appearance, felt a little funny, and reached out to rub his plush and messy head, "Why did you suddenly remember to cook?" ”

"Today is my sister's birthday." Xie Xing sighed, his expression became even more depressed, and he said distressedly: "I see that every time she cooks, it's very simple, why can't I?" ”

"So today is Miss Xie's birthday?" Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows, very surprised, and then looked at his dejected expression, and smiled, "If you can't do it, you can't do it, you can make her happy more than anything else." ”

When Xie Xing heard this, he sighed again and said, "That's really no way, if I learn martial arts, I will do the most unhappy thing for her." ”

This is the truth, and Chu Liuxiang has nothing to refute.

However, he has already explained to Xie Ling what should be said, not to mention anything else, just the fact that Xie Xing has the ability to save her life when something happens again should be enough to shake her.

Chu Liuxiang lived to this age, it was rare to meet a disciple who wanted to teach seriously, if he really let it go, he felt that he would definitely regret it in the future, it was better to take advantage of this Xie Ling to start hesitating to persuade her.

After all, he is still somewhat confident in convincing a girl.

Knowing from Xie Xing that today was Xie Ling's birthday, Chu Liuxiang thought about it and followed the little apprentice to the right wing.

About because it was a heavy and cloudy day, Xie Ling had already turned on the lamp in the house, and when he pushed the door in, he happened to see a figure reflected on the screen at the door, with his hair loosely curled, leaning on the side of the bed and flipping through the book.

"Sister!" As soon as Xie Xing entered, he saw the empty bowl on the table, knew that she had eaten dinner, and leaned over to look at the book in her hand, "What are you reading?" ”

Xie Ling was fascinated by the words he got from the maid, and he didn't notice a few people coming in, so he habitually reached out to push Xie Xing's head, "Don't make trouble, let me finish reading this page." ”

And when she raised her head after reading the last two lines, she was facing Chu Liuxiang's somewhat playful eyes, and that look pointed directly at the script in her hand, Xie Ling was suddenly extremely embarrassed, she guessed that Chu Liuxiang must know what she was looking at, so she could only cough twice, and pretended not to know anything and closed the script and put it aside.

"Ahem...... Why is Xiang Shuai here too? ”

In front of the children, Chu Liuxiang didn't bring the topic back to the script, and only answered her question, "Ah Xing said that today is Miss Xie's birthday, and it just so happens that I have something to give Miss Xie." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Xing's eyes widened, "Teacher-you didn't say it before?" ”

"It's for Miss Xie." Chu Liuxiang replied.

Xie Ling was inexplicable: "What? ”

I saw Chu Liuxiang take out a rather delicate dagger from his arms.

The handle of the dagger was inlaid with a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg, which shone brightly under the lights, and Xie Ling was dumbfounded. But what is even more striking than this gem is that its sheath is not an ordinary completely closed appearance, so that it does not completely hide the cold light from the blade inside.

"This dagger was stumbled upon by accident a long time ago." He explained, "The gem on the handle is a mechanism that can be quickly struck when pressed hard, but it saves the time of removing the sheath, and it should be of some use to any evil person." ”

After he finished speaking, he handed the dagger over, and when Xie Ling was still hesitating to take it, Xie Xing had already taken it, and his tone was exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!" ”

"It also happens to be Miss Xie's birthday, so it might as well be a congratulatory gift from me." Chu Liuxiang looked at Xie Xing's love for it, and added, "If Miss Xie doesn't mind, I'll teach you how to use it?" ”

To be able to get Chu Liuxiang's words, Xie Ling didn't expect it.

A simple dagger is fine, but what he meant was obviously that he wanted to teach her some means of using the dagger to defend herself.

I have to say that this is a great temptation for the current Xie Ling.

Moreover, Chu Liuxiang didn't give her time to think about it slowly, she took the dagger back from Xie Xing's hand, pressed the gem hard, and instantly showed the blade.

Even if Xie Ling didn't know anything about weapons, he could see from the cold light flashing from the blade of this dagger that this should be a dagger that was as sharp as clay.

In fact, she still underestimated the dagger that Chu Liuxiang took out, not to mention the simple requirement of sharpening iron like clay, this dagger can be cut through even the toughest gold silk soft armor.

When Xie Xing heard Chu Liuxiang offer to teach Xie Ling to use this dagger, his eyes lit up, and he even shouted out the word Master again, "Master, you are so good!" ”

Although the master was still a little helpless when he heard this, after a few days of calm thinking, Xie Ling also planned to take a step back and try again, so he simply didn't care if he didn't hear it.

She thought that no matter what, what Chu Liuxiang said could always be trusted, right?

However, how to use this dagger is not something that can be learned overnight, and at this time the crescent moon has climbed to the top of the dead tree, and it is not interesting to toss again.

Chu Liuxiang thought for a while and said, "How will it start tomorrow?" It just so happened that before Lord Leng came back, Miss Xie and I couldn't go anywhere else. ”

Before Xie Ling could nod his head, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside.

"Is Sister Ah Ling here?"

It's full of flowers.

Xie Ling hurriedly sent Xie Xing to open the door, and Hua Manlou, wrapped in fox fur, stood at the door, with a smile on his face, "It's snowing outside, eldest brother asked me to ask Sister Ah Ling if she wants to go to the garden to drink two glasses of wine together." ”

"It's snowing?!" Xie Xing, who hadn't seen snow a few times since he was born, was very excited, poked his head out to take a look, and said in a jubilant tone, "Wow sister, it's really snowing!" ”

Seeing these two children so happy, she didn't want to stay in the room anymore, "Okay, I'll be over in a moment, but I'll have to bother the dude to wait a while." ”

What Xie Ling thought was that he couldn't go out with this tired and lazy face, at least he had to clean up a little, and simply sent Xie Xingxian to spend all the buildings over.

However, before the latter sentence could be spoken, Chu Liuxiang had already intercepted her first, "I'll wait for Miss Xie outside, Miss Xie is unable to move, I'll push you to the garden." ”

"I'm too much trouble for you......" she waved her hand, "I can do it myself." ”

Chu Liuxiang waved his hand, "There are too many rockeries in the garden, and the road is not smooth, so it's okay during the day, and I'm afraid it's not easy to walk at night." ”

He said it so sincerely, Xie Ling felt that he seemed a little ignorant to refuse again, so he had to nod, "Then please wait for me for a while." ”

She was honest, saying that a moment was a moment, and it was completely different from Chu Liuxiang's impression of 'a girl who was ready to clean up her appearance', but she could only see that she had recombed her hair and cleaned her face.

But at a young age, even if he has only washed his face, he looks very radiant, and his white and red face seems to be able to pinch out water.

Chu Liuxiang always felt that Xie Ling was actually very beautiful, especially those eyes, which were so bright that they seemed to have stars living in them; If there is any drawback, it is probably too thin.

But she is thin and thin, and the whole person always looks very energetic, as if she can laugh in any difficult situation.

So when she saw her crying last time, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but be surprised.

When the two of them arrived at the garden, the flowers were full of flowers, and the brothers were already seated.

Both of them are the first time to see the sons of the Hua family's generation gathered together, from Huaxiyun to Huamanlou, they are indeed all dragons and phoenixes among people.

"This is Miss Xie, right?" The young man sitting on the right side of Hua Xiyun took the lead in opening his mouth.

Although Xie Ling is an out-and-out face control, she must say that it is not good at all to be stared at by a large group of handsome guys!

Especially the one who asked her if she was Miss Xie, I don't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that the other party's eyes were very meaningful.

But fortunately, this group of people was more concerned about Chu Liuxiang who pushed her over, Xie Ling watched Chu Liuxiang talk to them and attracted their attention, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Hua Xiyun handed over a glass of wine in a timely manner, "My third brother is a good hand at winemaking, this wine has little stamina, but it also listens to alcohol, can you try it?" ”

Xie Ling sniffed it, and took a sip with some hesitation, it was really sweet, but it was not greasy at all, nor was it rushing.

"Delicious!" She praised.

Huaxi Yunwaner, "It's good to like it." ”

While the two of them sat there drinking, the servants of the Flower House also arranged fireworks on the other side of the garden, and in a short time the night sky rose with extremely brilliant flowers.

Thanks to the large garden, separated by a lake, the sound of fireworks does not sound so harsh, Xie Ling watched it for a long time, and unconsciously drank several more glasses of wine, and by the time it was over, he was already a little drunk.

She used to be like this, how much she drank can never be seen on her face, only when she is really drunk, and there is a drunken feeling from her demeanor, others really believe it, oh it turns out that you are really drunk.

It was a lot better than that, but she hadn't drunk in a long time, and it was inevitable that she would get drunk faster.

When Chu Liuxiang pushed her back into the room, she heard her muttering in a wheelchair that she must be titled to the gold list, and couldn't help laughing.

After a good night's sleep, Chu Liuxiang began to teach her how to use the dagger as she said yesterday.

Xie Ling originally didn't believe that he could have any way to save an ordinary person like himself who had no foundation, not to mention that he was still in a wheelchair, but Chu Liuxiang shook his head, "It's really difficult to deal with a top master, but if the martial arts are average, it shouldn't be difficult." ”

He motioned for Xie Ling to take the dagger and slowed down the movement of his palm, but did not omit the move, "Like this-"

The palm of the hand went straight to her face, but under Chu Liuxiang's control, it stopped at a place that was only a millimeter away. Seeing that Xie Ling was still stunned, he leaned over and grabbed her hand holding the dagger, and turned it up, "Miss Xie stabbed directly, don't worry, you can't hurt me." ”

The light and sharp dagger is indeed very suitable for a surprise blow when close to him, and Xie Ling only realized how useful this dagger is at the moment when he actually swings it.

However, Chu Liuxiang's humanoid target had not been used for half a moment, and Hu Tiehua, who had been unknown for several days, suddenly came over again.

Xie Ling was having fun, and he was trying his best to touch Chu Liuxiang's hand, and seeing that his movements stopped slightly, he naturally thought that the opportunity had come, and his backhand was a twist-

Of course, it still failed.

The man's attention was no longer in front of him, but it was as if he still had eyes in his hands, and he could restrain her effortlessly, as if the blade of iron and clay could be broken with a single thought.

But Xie Ling also knew that he was Chu Liuxiang after all. A person like himself who has no foundation at all, if he can really hurt him, Chu Liuxiang doesn't need to teach her, it is only right to go back and continue to practice martial arts.

Hu Tiehua was still the same as before, her mouth was not covered very much, and when she approached and saw the dagger in her hand, she didn't even think about it, "Old bedbug, you are willing to take this thing out?" ”

Xie Ling was stunned for a moment, only to hear Hu Tiehua take a breath and then say, "And you actually gave a girl a dagger?" ”
