Zhou Yan covered his forehead and confirmed that he did not have a fever, so the scene in front of him was naturally not due to a fever and a hallucination.

And Zhou Yan also asked Li: "Li, did you hear what he said clearly?" ”

"Let you take him as an apprentice." Li's answer seemed reasonable.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but move his palm down to cover his eyes, and let out a sigh: "So, why are you here again." ”

In front of him, Rudy, who was still bent over, straightened up again and said, "I hope to learn martial arts from you." ”

"Do you still want to participate in the Stadi Martial Arts Tournament and fight for your life for the impossible champion?"

Rudy didn't flinch in the slightest because of Zhou Yan's mocking and impatient tone, he nodded firmly: "Although not all, but yes." ”

"But I've said it before! It's simply impossible, you don't have the slightest chance at all. After all, legends and novels are stories, unless there really is a high god who favors the protagonist of your world. ”

Zhou Yan bit the words "the protagonist of the world" very hard, and the taste of ridicule was very obvious.

And Zhou Yan's poisonous tongue did not make Rudy flinch: "However, after seeing your strength, I hope to be able to get your teachings." ”

Although he wanted to tell the other party that his strength at that time was just a flash in the pan, but in case it was too troublesome for the other party to explain the roots, Zhou Yan could only come up with another killer idea: "However, your wife won't agree!" Do you want to break her heart again? ”

Thinking of Leila, Rudy smiled helplessly: "Ah, it must make her so angry that she cries." ”

"Then you still pay!" Zhou Yan was a little annoyed, and he didn't know what to continue to say after he was halfway through his words. Judging from the other party's smile, he was ready to realize: "And what the hell is this deliberately showing affection in front of me, is it showing off that he has a good wife in front of me, a bachelor?" Believe it or not, I'm going to smash you! “

"Show affection?" Rudy was stunned.

"Uh......" found that Zhou Yan was very embarrassed that he accidentally said his heart, so he simply changed the subject and said, "No, I mean...... Is it because I helped me without permission before and was expelled by His Royal Highness the Prince, so I have no way out? ”

Before, Rudy disobeyed Sailukai's order and came to help him privately, Zhou Yan had already heard Li and Yoyo talk about it. So he has been worried about whether Rudy will be punished for this.

After all, although he knows Rudy, he doesn't really have any intersection or deep friendship.

If he was really punished for himself, Zhou Yan knew that he would probably teach him swordsmanship because of guilt and something like that.

But Rudy shook his head: "No, the prince didn't punish me. In fact, he may have forgotten about it. ”

"It's fine." Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "However, do you still have any dissatisfaction in this way?" I heard that you've been promoted, so don't you keep working hard now? Recently, it's been said everywhere that a war is about to be fought to drive the demons back. After the war is won, you can continue to live well with your wife in this peaceful place. Why do you have to gamble with your life? ”

Although they don't know much about the war, judging by the attitudes of Louise, Selukai, and the residents of Winterstone, they are very optimistic about the war.

After all, this is the home of the kingdom of Pande. Although it was attacked by the demons at the beginning and suffered a loss, but now the army is gathering, even if the demons hastily build fortifications, but once Pande's army is assembled, how can the demons who are just newcomers be able to resist? Then Winterstone will probably return to its former peaceful scene in the near future.

However, Rudy just shook his head: "Actually, I want to learn from you, not just for Layla. ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Zhou Yan's questioning expression, Rudy said a little embarrassed: "Also, I want to go to the front line to see a place where my brother has been taking good care of me." It's just that I'm not sure if I'll survive, so at least I'd like to ask you to learn something and save my life so that I can continue to spend the rest of my life with Lyra. ”

"Besides, I'm afraid I'll probably forget about that dead guy if I've been living in such a comfortable place. So at least go and see the places where he has been, maybe you can deepen your impression of him. ”

Don't look at Rudy is already married, in fact, he is only twenty-three years old this year, which is only five years older than Zhou Yan. So when he smiled embarrassedly and spoke like a shy big boy.

However, although he looked very shy, from his words, Zhou Yan felt a certain firm affection. Probably even if he refused to teach him swordsmanship and martial arts in the end, he would go to that dangerous front line.

And Zhou Yan only heard about the so-called front line. And just hearing about it is scary enough. There are battles of different scales with the demons at any time. In that kind of place, human life is the most valuable and the least valuable. It's worth it because more manpower is needed there to keep the line solid, and it's not worth it because the fighting is so fierce that people die every day.

Considering that Rudy was also a lifesaver for himself, and his intuition told Zhou Yan that Rudy's words were not false: he did choose to go to the front line to witness the place where that person once lived in order to remember someone.

"Should I say stupid or brave? Perhaps the other way of saying brave is stupid in itself. Pure impulses that bordered on stupidity. Zhou Yan smiled helplessly, but nodded: "Okay, I promise you." However, if your wife knows, I won't take the blame. ”

is probably ready to be rejected by Zhou Yan. So when he heard Zhou Yan agree to his request, Rudy obviously stood on the spot.

"You, what did you say?" Rudy asked, seemingly unsure, breathing a little heavily.

"I said, I promised to teach you swordsmanship." Zhou Yan could only repeat.

"Whew...... Whew......" Rudy took a few deep breaths, seemingly trying to calm himself down.

Then, suddenly, he made a ninety-degree bow: "Then, please leave it to you from now on!" Master! ”

"Well, you don't need to use honorifics on me, and I just promised to teach you swordsmanship, not to take you as an apprentice. At least I don't think I'm qualified to take in disciples. Zhou Yan was also a little embarrassed, touched his nose and said.

However, Rudy couldn't listen anymore, or he didn't plan to listen to Zhou Yan at this point.

"That's right, Leila! Gotta tell Sù Leila about this. Master, I'll go back today! I'll come back to you tomorrow, by the way, can you come to my house tonight? I'll have Leila ready to serve you. ”

Rudy's face was filled with a smile of joy and a wry smile at the moment. The joy was because Zhou Yan finally agreed to teach him swordsmanship, and the bitter smile was because he thought that he might have to face Leila's sad face again.

"Forget it, we still don't come to those polite things. Moreover, as I said, I just teach you swordsmanship, not to be your master. Zhou Yan waved his hand and said.

"Since you have said so, Master...... However, I will definitely come to my house in the future...... I still need to go back and explain to Leila, please forgive me......" said with a deep bow.

"I really can't stand it if you continue to be so polite." This time, Zhou Yan smiled bitterly: "Okay, you go back first." Just come back to me tomorrow. At least get past your wife's level. ”

"Okay, goodbye then, Master!" With another deep bow, Rudy ran home with mixed feelings.

Looking at Rudy's back, Zhou Yan shook his head. At least help him as much as you can.

"Mr. Yan, what's wrong?"

And at this time, Zhou Yan heard Youyou's voice.

I saw the girl walking over from the opposite side, and it seemed that she had seen the scene just now. However, Zhou Yan's residence was originally relatively close to the adventurer's guild where he lived temporarily. I guess I happened to be going out, and I happened to see the movement here.

"That's Mr. Rudy, does he call you Master?"

"Well, it's Master." Thinking that it was too troublesome to explain, Zhou Yan shrugged his shoulders and admitted: "By the way, Yoyo, I have something to tell you!" ”
