Qin Huan also saw that Xue Menglian was tired, so he didn't force her to stay, and let her leave, just at this moment Yan Xike came to pick up Xue Menglian back, seeing that it was almost dark, but seeing Xue Menglian with a haggard face, she was both helpless and distressed, Xue Menglian felt a figure standing in front of her, and her body fell down as soon as she softened, Yan Xike instinctively went to help her, and blamed her in his mouth: "I told you, the jade steamed cake of thousands of people is far more than the jade steamed cake of only a few people, I told you not to do it, but you want to do it, you, you man...... Is! ”

Xue Menglian was already tired and leaned on Yan Xike's shoulder, and as soon as she heard Yan Xike's words, she immediately straightened up and looked at Yan Xike beside her, "Yes, I should listen to you, I shouldn't be so willful, it's not good to blame me." ”

Xue Menglian admitted that she had worked very hard, but she still felt that she was too tired and the whole person was going to wilt, and now her hands were shaking, Yan Xike really had no choice but to pull her forward, and hired a carriage on the way to go home, saying that Xue Menglian had not used to eat this day, so when she came back, she ate too much more than usual, Yan Xike had already eaten, he just watched her eat while drinking tea, still as high as usual, as if the things around him could not impress him.

It wasn't until Xue Menglian had eaten that Yan Xike said in a cold voice: "Full?" ”

"Well, you're full, huh? You seem to have eaten very little today? ”

"Because I have already eaten today, naturally I won't feel too hungry, but you, what others will ask you to do in the future, you don't patronize and promise, it's okay to take care of a few people's meals on weekdays, and when you get to the master's side, you have to take care of the stomachs of those disciples, if they let you do this again, then no one has to pay fifty taels of silver, otherwise, this kind of white food, but you can't eat it at will."

After Xue Menglian heard this, she was a little panicked in her heart, "But, but doesn't the master have rules?" You can't bribe privately, it's not very good. ”

"Since they don't want to come out, then you don't have to do it, besides, most of those disciples who come to the sect are fatherless and motherless, where is there so much silver taels on this body? It's not that you can only rely on the master to help them, as for the master's silver taels, you also know that this river and lake is not very easy to mix. ”

Xue Menglian was very surprised when she heard this, "I, our family is not a mess, how can I know?" ”

"Okay, as long as you know that this river and lake is not easy to mix, so now even this master has changed from accepting disciples every month to accepting disciples once every three years, just because there is not much silver left on weekdays, and it is just enough to be able to afford these disciples, and besides, every year there are disciples who have to go down the mountain to experience, in this way, all living expenses have to rely on themselves."

Xue Menglian thought for a while and said, "Then, shouldn't you have gone to practice a long time ago?" ”

Yan Xike thought for a while and said: "I entered the division when I was eight years old, and three years is eleven years old, at that time I went to experience, but the enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, after all, I am still young, or when I am still growing up, the other party is a tall cow and a big horse, I am naturally not their opponent, so I can only rely on outwitting, if you still want to mix in the rivers and lakes after five years, you will continue to mix in the rivers and lakes, if you don't want to, even if you leave the division, the rules are so set, But who would dare to really leave the division completely?

Once I hear that this master has encountered a very serious problem, I still have to go back to help the master. ”

Xue Menglian said: "I think your martial arts are definitely above me, if you don't go to the rivers and lakes, it's really a waste of talent." ”

Yan Xike smiled and said: "My father has his own obsession, and the disputes on the rivers and lakes are all like this, they will never pass, and once they go inside, the life and death here can not be up to themselves, in fact, I am not afraid of death, but some things are not worth it at all, what justice is awe-inspiring, among these so-called famous and decent families, in fact, it is nothing more than that, Meng'er, in fact, your father and your brother choose to be chivalrous and righteous, although they do not participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but they also do something for the benefit of the people, It's also excellent.

It's much better than those who just do things that lack virtue under the pretext of supporting justice. ”

"Do you want to do the same?"

"Well," Yan Xike took a sip of tea and said, "Occasionally I will do these righteous things, but I still focus on business, after all, you have also seen, I still have to practice medicine, although my medical skills are not as vast as Dr. Luo's, at least I can make a living." ”

Xue Menglian looked at the man beside her with a look of admiration, "I don't know if Dr. Luo accepts apprentices, it would be good if he could accept you as an apprentice, anyway, now you are also at will, it just so happens that your father doesn't want you and the eldest prince to take care of those things in the rivers and lakes, just like this is also excellent." ”

Yan Xike actually had this intention in his heart, but in his opinion, this Doctor Luo has been wandering all along, it is really difficult to find, plus he has learned a lot with his current master, those minor illnesses and injuries are no longer difficult for him, and of course those very common diseases, but he didn't expect to meet Xue Menglian one day, let alone expect that she happened to know Doctor Luo, he just smiled and said: "Actually, I already have this intention in my heart, but this Doctor Luo ...... I don't know if he will accept apprentices or not, but if he really accepts apprentices, I would like to learn from them. ”

"It's also great that my father has a way of communicating between the two of them, and he will come over immediately as soon as he sends him a letter."

Yan Xike smiled: "Even if that's the case," he flicked Xue Menglian's head and said, "But you haven't finished learning yet, do you really rest assured that I will learn medical skills, while you are practicing martial arts under the master?" ”

When Xue Menglian heard Yan Xike say this, she immediately lowered her head and said, "Uh...... Not assured. ”

In front of him, she couldn't lie if she wanted to, he always seemed to be able to see through her expression, and besides, Xue Menglian did not have the habit of lying, Yan Xike said: "In this case, it's not too late to talk about it after you have been under the master for five years." ”

Xue Menglian was very surprised when she heard this, "Five years? That much time? ”

Yan Xike didn't feel anything, but said: "You went to practice martial arts at the age of eleven, and you will only be sixteen years old in five years, what are you afraid of?" ”

"But, you're two years older than me, and besides, I don't want to delay you."
