Chapter 157: Robbery while the fire is on
In the main hall, Ji Ruhuan could only obediently listen to Sister Ling's complaints, "Silently, he secretly took my knife and melted it, you said how bad this person is." β
Ji Ruhuan smiled and comforted, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry, just fight a new one." β
Sister Ling responded, "If you want an ordinary knife, forget it, just that set of flying knives, you have also seen it, I used it the most conveniently, and it was taken by this loser to melt it for me." β
Speaking of this, Ji Ruhuan has some impressions, when she first entered the Jianghu Inn, she saw that Sister Ling was a flying knife with a supernatural hand, which scared away the troublemakers in the inn.
Later, Ji Ruhuan got acquainted with Sister Ling, and specially came over to study it, and it was indeed quite exquisite.
Ji Ruhuan also thinks that this master is really boring, a good set of flying knives, what did he do with it? No wonder Sister Ling is angry, she doesn't know how to persuade Sister Ling.
Outside the courtyard, the master and apprentice were confronting each other, "Since the master is unwilling, I will go and tell Ruhuan to leave, and we should go back to eat." β
The old man of Tianji looked at his apprentice with a dark face, "You are taking advantage of the fire to rob." β
Dugu Chi Yan pursed his lips and said, "Master's words are too outward, these things are waiting for you to return with the crane, don't you still have to leave them to us in the end?"
The old man of Tianji blew his beard angrily and glared, "Criminal." β
However, Dugu Chiyan didn't take Master's anger in his eyes at all, and seemed to be happy to speak, "Master is so unhappy, it's just that." β
As he spoke, he stepped into the main hall.
"Stop. The old man finally compromised and replied with a cold face, "Wait, I'll get it for you." β
After speaking, the old man entered the house angrily, and after a while, he came out with a wooden box in his hand, and handed it to Dugu Chiyan with a gloomy face.
Dugu Chi Yan stretched out his hand to pick it up, but the old man of Tianji was reluctant to let go, so he heard Dugu Chi Yan speak, "Master, don't feel at a loss, although my set of flying knives is not famous, it will not be worse than the one you melted, and the appearance is more exquisite, Sister Ling likes delicate and beautiful things the most, and she will definitely like it." β
Only then did the old man of Tianji relent, and said, "Go and get it for me now." β
Dugu Chiyan opened the lid of the wooden box and saw the silver-white whip lying in the box, so he said with satisfaction, "You go in first, as I said, appease Sister Ling first, and I'll go back to get the flying knife later." β
Ji Ruhuan racked her brains and couldn't make Sister Ling happy, at this time she was almost out of words, and when she saw the master who came in at the door, Ji Ruhuan showed a helpless expression.
Sister Ling saw the old man at the door, reached out and picked up the teacup on the table next to him and threw it at him.
Fortunately, the old man of Tianji stretched out, caught the teacup with his hand, and stepped forward with a smile, and said, "Ling'er, don't be angry, it's me who is not good, I didn't tell you in advance." β
Jin Ling snorted coldly and turned his face to the side, and the old man of Tianji followed to the other side, "I was going to surprise you, I didn't want to be discovered by you and make you angry." β
"The reason why I melted your set of knives is that I think that the set of knives is really not very good-looking, and it is not worthy of you at all, so I have prepared a more delicate set of throwing knives for you, and you should send them to you. β
Jin Ling's anger finally subsided slightly, and he looked at the old man Tianji with suspicious eyes, "Really?"
Seeing that Jin Ling's anger gradually dissipated, the old man of Tianji breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly answered, "Of course it's true, you wait for a while, I'll let someone pick it up, and I'll send it over later." β
Jin Ling glanced at the old man of Tianji, "Then I'll wait, if you dare to lie to me, hum!"
After Dugu Chiyan took the flying knife, he didn't take it in himself, but let the people around the old man of Tianji send it in, and he went in empty-handed.
When Jin Ling saw the set of flying knives, she finally smiled, and said while playing, "You have a conscience." β
The old man of Tianji looked at the expression on Jin Ling's face, and said in his heart that it was worth the whip.
The two of them came out of the house, and Ji Ruhuan said, "Uncle Master's surprise preparation is simply stealing chickens and rice." β
Dugu Chiyan pursed his lips and responded, "That set of flying knives is mine." β
"Huh?" Ji Ruhuan looked at the Nine Emperor Uncles in surprise.
Hearing the Nine Emperor Uncles speak, he continued, "Master melted Sister Ling's flying knives because that set of flying knives was given to Sister Ling by other men, but he didn't prepare any surprises for Sister Ling. β
The corners of Ji Ruhuan's eyes twitched, a little speechless, "Uncle Master is so old, he is still so naΓ―ve." β
Dugu Chiyan replied with a smile, "I exchanged this set of flying knives for a good thing, let's go, go back and have a look." β
Back in the small courtyard, Ji Ruhuan couldn't put it down and played with the silver whip in her hand, and said excitedly, "Is this really the legendary dragon scale whip?
Dugu Chi Yan responded, "I don't know if it's made of dragon scales, but this whip is really good, and it is equipped with a very delicate and unique mechanism, you give me the whip." β
Ji Ruhuan handed the whip to the Nine Emperor Uncles, and saw that the Nine Emperor Uncles shook off the silver whip, and his hand didn't know what mechanism on the whip handle had moved, and the original soft whip turned into a hard silver thorn.
Ji Ruhuan couldn't help but exclaim when she looked at it, reached out and tested the hardness of the silver thorn, and said in surprise, "How did this happen?"
How to deal with this question, Dugu Chiyan really couldn't answer it, so he had to speak, "This whip can be so famous, presumably because of this ingenious mechanism." β
Dugu Chiyan moved the handle of the whip again, and the silver thorn softened again, turning into an ordinary silver whip.
Handing the silver whip to Ji Ruhuan, Dugu Chiyan said, "Keep it well." β
Ji Ruhuan looked at Dugu Chiyan in surprise, "Give it to me?"
Dugu Chiyan pursed his lips and chuckled, "Don't you love whips, what, don't you like it?"
Ji Ruhuan hurriedly answered, "I like it, of course I like it, but it's too expensive." β
Dugu Chiyan replied, "No one on our island makes a whip, and it is a tyrannical thing to keep it." β
Ji Ruhuan said excitedly, "Then I'll take it?"
Seeing that Ji Ruhuan was so happy, the smile on Dugu Chiyan's face was even stronger, and he nodded to Ji Ruhuan.
Ji Ruhuan took the whip, went to the courtyard, and happily practiced first.
Dugu Chiyan stood at the door and watched, waiting for Ji Ruhuan to finish dancing before he spoke, "No one on our island makes whips, but no one can teach you whips, but there are a lot of books on whipping in Master's library, I will find them for you when I arrive, whether you can practice it or not, but it depends on yourself." β
Ji Ruhuan rarely lost her steady, jumped past the Nine Emperor Uncles, and said, "Thank you, Nine Emperor Uncles." β
