The drizzle hit the window with a faint sound.

"Whoosh!whoosh!whoosh~~~"

In a backyard of Shangbao, the girl Miao Shan's set of sword techniques seemed to be slowly unfolded, but the drizzle could not enter, and the Dao sword momentum was condensed but not dispersed, and even formed a sword qi mass around her body.

Ji Fan held the scabbard in his hand, stood in the courtyard and watched the girl practice the sword, Mu Ran's expression didn't seem to have any emotion, and he let the rain wet the cloth.

In Ji Fan's opinion, the sword used by the girl is thick and heavy, and it should be practiced from fast to slow, but it is not really slow, which makes people have an illusion in their senses.

The sky gradually cleared, and the morning sun shone through the clouds.

The girl's sword momentum converged and gasped slightly, and her little face flushed.

"Wood, how am I practicing?"

The girl inserted the long sword that was disproportionate to her body into the scabbard in Ji Fan's hand like a match, which was extremely accurate.

On the other hand, Ji Fan's hand holding the scabbard trembled and he was not afraid of being injured by the girl's long sword.

For Ji Fan to have no expression and not speak, the girl puffed out her face, dissatisfied with his boredom.

Ji Fan was taken to Shangbao by the old man with a goatee, it has been seven days, and the old man arranged for him to be a sword boy for the girl, he has changed a little, even if he doesn't speak, he will salute when he sees the master of the Miao family.

In these seven days, instead of doing something secretly, Ji Fan did a good job as a sword boy and an entourage, bringing people a sense of perseverance and loyalty.

Not being taken to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect by the old man with a goatee, Ji Fan sighed secretly, but he didn't force it, it was acceptable for him to come to Miaojia City by mistake.

The girl Miao Shan is still young and goes to the school of the Miao family, which also brings Ji Fan the opportunity to go out with him.

Through seven days of silent observation, Ji Fan has already understood that this merchant castle is not the Miao Mansion, the front hall is the place where the caravans inside and outside the Miao family city take over the merchant tasks, and the deep courtyard behind is the place where the patriarch of the short old man lives.

Different from the children of the Ji clan, most of them live in the Ji Mansion of nine in and nine out, and there are many people in the clan and branches of the Miao clan, and there are even a division of forces, and the clansmen who have become families at a certain age all have their own mansions in the city, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have formed a style of the clan.

The reason why the girl Miao Shan was able to come to Shangbao was because the patriarch of the short old man gave her guidance on her cultivation, whether she loved her or valued her qualifications, she obviously had expectations.

Following the girl Miao Shan to the courtyard where the short old man lived, Ji Fan just bowed to the old man.

"Grandfather, Shan'er has been in the family academy for almost a year, can Shan'er go to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect this year?" the girl asked as she looked at the short old man.

"The cultivation world in Cangluan Prefecture has not been peaceful in recent years, joining the sect may not be a good thing, with the strength of the Miao clan, even if you don't go to the sect to practice, it will not be bad. The short old man first glanced at Ji Fan, and then smiled at the girl.

The girl shook her head, a little stubborn, in Ji Fan's mind, she should have a dream.

"Since you insist on going to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, let's get ready. The short old man's expression was a little dark, and in the end he did not suppress the girl's pursuit.

"Great, thank you grandfather. ”

The girl's excited look was full of brilliance, and she jumped up and down excitedly.

"Boy, are you still used to being a sword boy for Shan'er?" the short old man asked Ji Fan.

Facing the old man's gaze, Ji Fan faintly showed a look of gratitude and bowed down again.

The short old man smiled slightly, took out a small vial of life elixir and gave it to the girl.

Following the girl out of the courtyard where the dwarf old man was, Ji Fan could feel that the patriarch of the Miao clan did not trust him, and even always tested his heart.

"You have to be a loyal servant. ”

Although Ji Fan felt that the hidden veins of his body had not been detected by the old man with a goatee and the short old man, he still secretly warned himself not to act rashly.

Ji Fan didn't want to harm anyone, he was more looking forward to being able to be free in Miaojia City and get the opportunity to learn.

Unlike the girl Miao Shan, who was in a hurry to join the sect, Ji Fan felt that as a big business family, the Miao family was quite not simple.

A family owns a commercial city, and the trade of cultivation items is extremely prosperous, and the caravans that come and go in Miaojia City will bring a lot of news while bringing cultivation resources.

Miaojia City righteous and demon monks can come, this is a place where business is supreme, good and evil, good and evil, mostly to follow the principle of trade, as the ruler of Miaojia City, the Miao family's heritage can be imagined.

Following the girl's other entourage, going to the Miao clan's academy outside the merchant castle, Ji Fan, who didn't speak, gave him a sense of inplace.

The school in the east of the city covers a vast area, and although the entourage and servants cannot influence the children of the Miao clan, they have a comfortable courtyard where they can rest and wait.

"Miss Miao Shan's mute sword boy is here. ”

Seeing Ji Fan arrive at the suite, a few of the entourages who were not too old gathered together smiled at him in a low voice.

The personal servants and retinues of some children of large families mostly follow their masters from an early age, which is more conducive to cultivating loyalty.

Unlike Ji Fan, who didn't seem to hear it, a woman's entourage of the girl Miao Shan had a somewhat unsightly face at the muttering of several young girls and entourage.

"It's like a log all day long, can you speak? Miao Shan's maid Xiaocui came to Ji Fan's side in a puff and said.

Ji Fan's dissatisfaction with girls of the same age seemed to be unaware, and he just sat dryly on the porch chair in the courtyard, giving people a sense of loneliness.

When he came to the school, Ji Fan could sit in the courtyard for a day except for lunch at noon.

Having had the experience of the living dead, Ji Fan knew very well that sometimes, waiting and patience were necessary to achieve the goal.

Being completely taken away from the scope of the Northern Sacrifice City and the Burial Spirit Mountain Range by the old man with a goatee, Ji Fan felt that it was already good, and the next thing he had to do was to understand some of the internal and external situations of Miaojia City, so that it would be conducive to planning and selection.

Faced with the temptation of the Miao family's ancestors, Ji Fan must first be a faithful sword boy, otherwise there will be no future.

Hearing the news that Miao Shan was going to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Ji Fan also had some thoughts, but the Cangluan Prefecture is so big, although the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is the bull's ear of the Righteous Dao Sect, it is not the only way out.

If you don't join the sect, you will be troubled a lot in terms of cultivation resources and exercises, and the sect is divided into good and demonic, and the big sects of the demon path are mostly controlled by some powerful heroes, advocating combat power, but the disciples below are mostly ants and cannon fodder, and it must be difficult to grow up.

Most aspiring demon monks are more likely to choose to practice casually, wandering in the wilderness, and good at seizing opportunities.

"The living environment of the Demon Dao Sect, although the disciple's development path is not very good, it is not without exceptions. "As far as Ji Fan knows, the Xuanyin Sect where Ji Ming went, although it is a Demon Dao Sect, but the situation in the sect is relatively similar to the Righteous Path.

It's just that the Xuanyin Sect has Ji Ming, and most of them practice Yin Gong, which is not suitable for Ji Fan who wants to practice Yang Gong.

As for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Ji Fan thought that it should be difficult to mix, and if he wanted to pretend to be under the noses of those old monsters for a long time, he didn't have this confidence.

Just in the face of the short old patriarch of the Miao clan, Ji Fan had to deal with it carefully all the time.

Ji Fan, who was sitting alone on the porch chair, seemed expressionless, but in fact, he was secretly sorting out his thoughts.

From the mouth of the short elder, I learned that the friction and conflict between the two realms of righteousness and demons are becoming increasingly intense, which is also one of the risks of joining the sect.

If one day the battle between the righteous and the demons starts again in Cangluan Prefecture, Ji Fan doesn't even dare to imagine how many people will die, and the fight between monks is between life and death.

Especially for Xiao Xiu, there is no chance of survival in the big war, which may be one of the reasons why the dwarf old man doesn't want the girl Miao Shan to go to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

"The most important thing at the moment is to find some books to read, if you can learn some life-saving methods, it would be better, but it is not easy to eat some Miao Shan's leftovers, and if she can't achieve her goal here, she can only hope to trade cultivation items and find a way to join the caravan. Ji Fan felt that it was still too passive to expect Miao Shan to go to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

The trade and trade in Miaojiacheng were prosperous, and the temptation for Ji Fan was great.

For most of the day, Ji Fan was in the suite of the academy, without any communication with Miao Shan's other three entourages.

In addition to Ji Fan, the other three entourages who usually follow Miao Shan are Xiaocui and a middle-aged couple.

Xiaocui is a personal girl, about the same age as Miao Shan and Ji Fan.

As for the middle-aged couple, Ji Fan was very sure that both of them were qi refiners and had considerable strength, compared with Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, and Chen Gengnian, the hunchbacked old man, they couldn't tell which was stronger and which was weaker.

And the short old man patriarch of the Miao clan, Ji Fan is afraid of him.

Ji Fan wasn't sure how high the dwarf old man's cultivation was at all, and he could only guess that his strength was extremely strong, and it was likely that he was an old monster who had reached the Jindan stage.

If it weren't for Ji Fan's extremely strange body refining technique, he felt that the metal gourd, and the tree veins, dragon patterns, and thousands of flowers were hidden, he wouldn't even have the confidence to face the eyes of the short old man.

It is far from easy to hide the abnormality in a big clan like the Miao clan, on the first day Ji Fan arrived at Shangbao, the short old man shot two chess pieces at him, which was just the beginning of the temptation, and in the next few days, there were many temptations by different people.

If it weren't for Ji Fan's life experience of being brought by the goatee old man of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the village being destroyed as an orphan, which can be accepted, he would not have been able to become the sword boy of the girl Miao Shan.

Keeping the heart cold when losing family and loved ones, and appropriately revealing some perseverance and loyalty, is the image that Ji Fan deliberately maintains in front of others.

"In the Miao clan, you have to be careful. ”

Ji Fan estimated that the cultivation qualifications of the girl Miao Shan should be very good, otherwise she would not have been guided by the short elder.

However, under the expectation that the girl could continue to improve, the short old man arranged Ji Fan, who was not qualified on the surface, as a sword boy, whether there was calculation and consideration, so he couldn't help but be cautious.
