"There are two things I need to make clear to you."

On the way to the house, Xia Fan looked at Ye Kui, who was excited, and spoke.

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say that."

Ye Kui said very respectfully, his attitude has changed dramatically compared to last night.

Although Xia Fan just asked him to follow him, he did not agree to his request to apprentice.

But this approach is equivalent to having a master and apprentice even though he has no name of master and apprentice, so in Ye Kui's heart, he has put Xia Fan in the position of a half-master.

If this kind of thing is done by another person with a similar status to him, then it will definitely not be able to pull down his face.

However, in Ye Kui's eyes, this is a matter of course.

His world has always been simple.

It is precisely because of enough simplicity that he can go from being an ordinary person with no foundation at the beginning, all the way through decades of hard work, to reach today's achievements.

Under the premise of not being led by a famous teacher, being able to reach the level of a fourth-order black iron forging master, and being able to impact the level of a black iron fifth-order forging master at any time, the hardships that Ye Kui paid were unimaginable to ordinary people.

Of course, his own talent in forging must also be transcendent.

There has never been a shortage of so-called 'geniuses' in this world, but there are many geniuses who are often unknown before they become famous.

It's not that they're not talented, it's just that they don't work hard enough.

True talent is that you can learn faster and understand more deeply than others, but if you don't even want to work hard to learn, you will naturally lose the opportunity to show your talent.

The world is cruel, the world is fair.

"First of all, the reason why I am willing to let you follow me is because of the reason why part of the City Lord's Mansion is in it, and the Xia family will inevitably need strong support from the City Lord's Mansion if they want to encroach on the Liu family next. Although the lord of the castle gave me a certain promise last night, this kind of verbal promise cannot be fulfilled after all. Considering your relationship with the lord of the castle, with you always by my side, I can always remind the lord of the castle not to forget my side. ”

Xia Fan said in a calm tone.

Ye Kui nodded with a clear look on his face and said, "Although I know Wanli, I know that your worries are actually a little superfluous. But from your point of view, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"It's best if you can understand, I like your character, and I don't want to hide anything from you, so I will explain everything to you clearly first, since my purpose of letting you follow me is not pure, I should naturally maintain enough respect for you, and let you make your own judgment."

When Xia Fan said this, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Kui, and then continued: "You don't need to use any honorifics for me, I didn't take you as an apprentice, and when you follow me, how much you can learn depends entirely on yourself, so let's just treat each other as equals." You weren't like that last night. ”

Ye Kui's eyelids jumped, and he always felt quite strange when he looked at Xia Fan's figure walking in front.

Because whether it is words, tone, or gestures, Xia Fan at this moment does not feel like a teenager who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but as if he is the same age, and he should still be the kind of big man who is really in a high position, so he can be so light-hearted.

But here's the problem...... How is this possible?

Is it a delusion......

All kinds of thoughts quickly slid through his mind, but Ye Kui did not hesitate on the surface.

As Xia Fan's words fell, he immediately bowed and said: "This is different, I competed with you yesterday, although we are not opponents, but after all, we are also a little bit of a competitor." In addition, the relationship between you and Fei'er has been confirmed, even if they are not friends, I have to maintain the posture that an elder should have. But today is different, you have agreed that I will follow you, even if you are not an apprentice, after all, you are learning things from you, as long as there is a master and apprentice, this ceremony cannot be wasted! Wouldn't it be ridiculous otherwise? ”

Listening to Ye Kui's seriousness, Xia Fan knew that he really thought so in his heart.

Although there are fewer and fewer people like Ye Kui in this world, it is precisely because of the lack that Fang is precious.

"In that case, why didn't you apprentice with me last night? Why do you want to come here early in the morning to do this? There was the lord of the city last night, no matter how you look at it...... Success is likely to be greater, right? No matter how much I don't want to accept you, I have to give the city lord some face, right? ”

Xia Fan asked jokingly.

"Ahem, this ...... Although it is indeed more likely that you will agree. But if you refuse, won't I be shameless in front of them? It's better to wait for such a night, run over early in the morning, and if you agree, everyone will be happy. Even if you don't agree, I can hide it from the two of them, and I can lose as little as I can. ”

Ye Kui replied honestly.

Xia Fan was dumbfounded for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't know how to evaluate the simple truth that Ye Kui said.

"Forget it, let's change the topic, as for the fact that you are by my side, I will not have any secrets in forging, but how much you can learn depends on yourself after all, the cultivation of the martial arts realm will limit your achievements in forging in the future, so don't slack off on the martial cultivation realm."

Xia Fan rubbed his temples and spoke.

A young man who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was admonishing a middle-aged man, this scene looked quite strange no matter how you looked at it.

But whether it is a young person or a middle-aged person, they all have a natural expression, and they don't think there is anything wrong with it.

"Yes, I know, in fact, I am very lucky to have this opportunity to learn."

Ye Kui said very sincerely.

"Well, the second thing I'm going to say is...... The relationship between me and Ning Fei'er is not what you think, whether it is me to her or she to me. So you have to be mentally prepared, don't really think that Ning Fei'er and I have made a private agreement for life or something. What happened last night actually had nothing to do with Ning Fei'er. ”

Hearing Xia Fan say this, Ye Kui was obviously stunned, and after making sure that Xia Fan was not joking, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Why? Do you ...... Can't look down on Fei'er? ”

"That's not it, it's just that I already have a fiancée, and she lives in the Xia family, and you can see her in a while."

At this moment, it was Ye Kui's turn to be dumbfounded.
