Chapter 27—Lessons

That old man was none other than the current Great Elder of the Chen Family, Chen Shugen. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info can serve as the great elder of the Chen family, and his natural strength is extraordinary. In addition, the most important reason is that Chen Shugen is a tattoo artist. When the children of the Chen family entered the palace, it was Chen Shugen who held the hand. Therefore, his status in the Chen family is second only to Chen Tie and his father.

"According to the old man, even if we can't find the thief now, we must find a responsible person to come out. Chen Shugen touched the beard on his chin: "At least give an explanation to those who are watching the play, let them know that we are not conniving at that thief." We are looking for it, and we have a prestige. 」

When Chen Tie heard this, he looked thoughtful: "Elder, what ......do you mean?"

Chen Shugen said meaningfully, "It's not that when the tattooed soldier was first stolen four years ago, Shui Yingyue, there was a student who saw the tattooed soldier. And after seeing it, it was stolen. 」

Chen Tie frowned, "I've also heard what the Great Elder said, but that's a first-year student in the academy, and he's also a classmate in the Aotian class. That is, the child was only six years old. No matter how you think about it, it can't have anything to do with that child. 」

Chen Shugen shook his head: "What I said is just to give an explanation. For example, is it possible that the child has someone behind him who is in harmony with him? And I'm not saying that the child should be responsible for anything, just punish him with a small punishment and punish him with a silver tael. 」

"Silver taels?"

Chen Shugen nodded slowly: "According to the original valuation of Shui Yingyue, it would be good for him to compensate for the past." With that, he slowly stood up and walked out of the door with his cane on hand: "The suggestion has been said, and it is up to the head of the house to decide whether to implement it or not. 」

............

Chen Shugen returned to his residence, as the great elder of the Chen family and the family's exclusive tattoo master, his residence was naturally very large, and it was a specially built annex. What he loves the most is to sit by the small lake in the courtyard in a daze.

"Great Elder. A cheerful voice came.

Chen Shugen showed a gentle smile on his face: "It's Xiao Tian, come in." 」

It was Chen Aotian who ran into the courtyard.

Chen Shugen I was obsessed with tattoos, so he had no children and no daughters. And it wasn't until old age that he felt that there was no possibility of any breakthrough, and he found that there was no one around him. Therefore, he treats Chen Tie's son Chen Aotian as his own son, and even the relationship between Chen Shugen and Chen Aotian is closer than that of Chen Tie and Chen Aotian, the biological father and son who are related by blood.

"Today is the day to enter the Gongfa Pavilion, and that Xu Yan is still arrogant and boundless......" Every day Chen Aotian came to Chen Shugen's courtyard like this, and read things about the academy with him. And the most mentioned among them is naturally Xu Yan, who he looks down on the most.

Thinking of what I just suggested...... Chen Shugen's old eyes squinted slightly, maybe he could teach this guy who made his baby Xiaotian unhappy a lesson.

............

"Very good. Xu Yan patted his big bald head, which was his habit all along.

And Qiao Zhigang was sweating profusely, but there was a relieved expression on his face: "Really?"

Xu Yan nodded, and when it came to forging, he was completely in the state: "All along, your weakness has been in the aspect of casting and carving. And because your former family secret has reached the top of the melting level. Xu Yan picked up the sword in his hand, the sword body was light and thin, but there was a blood groove. The design of this sword was deliberately used by Qiao Zhigang to hone himself in casting.

"In terms of casting, we have begun to catch up with your smelting methods. The only downside is that you're engraving, perhaps because you've only learned to forge since you were a child. 」

In the past four years, Xu Yan has learned a lot from studying basic tattoos: "The so-called changes are inseparable from their origins, and tattoo soldiers are also inseparable from tattoo arrays. Your understanding of the pattern is still too shallow, if you have the opportunity to deepen your understanding of the pattern, the future will be smoother. 」

"And this sword...... It's a pity. It's one step away, and it's a second-order tattooed soldier. 」

Even though there were countless critical words, Qiao Zhigang showed a happy face. Naturally, he was already a forging master who almost reached the second order?

Thinking of this, he looked at Xu Yan's gaze more and more convincingly. In the past four years, Xu Yan's guidance to him is better than his ten years behind closed doors. If it weren't for Xu Yan's guidance, maybe he would have been just a first-order forging master in his entire life. And in just four years, he was already standing at the threshold of a second-order forger.

Xu Yan looked at the sky outside the window and said, "It's not early, today is the weekend. Go home as usual and will be back on Monday. Don't stop training your casting and scratching exercises, I'll check it out. With that, he waved his hand, left the "Divine Soldier Qiao's Family", and walked towards the city gate.

At the city gate, the familiar figure was already seen: "Old coachman. 」

When the old coachman saw Xu Yan's figure, he also said with emotion: "The little doll grows so fast, maybe it will grow taller than the old man in a short time." 」

Xu Yan laughed, he also had a lot of feelings for this old driver who had carried him for four years. Since he had a cooperative relationship with Qiao Zhigang, in addition to giving all the money he got to Lan Ming to spend on food, he made an agreement with the old coachman.

Eight taels of silver per trip, to take Xu Yan back and forth to the village once a week.

This price is reasonable, after all, it is a long-term cooperation, and it is normal to have some folds.

............

Sitting in the durao carriage, Xu Yan soon returned home.

It is not surprising that as soon as I walked into the house, I smelled the tempting aroma of rice.

Xu Tian has been like this since he was a child, always like an unpredictable prophet, always cooking at the moment Xu Yan comes home. Maybe it's a habit for many years, but Xu Yan never feels abrupt. Everything went according to the flow, sitting on the dining table and eating, talking about the trivialities of the academy.

"You talked about that good friend Lan Ming, and I had the opportunity to take him home for dinner. Let him taste what it means to be truly proficient. 」

Xu Yan looked at his father, who looked like a vindictive child, speechlessly: "What is it like to be a child. Xu Tian snorted, and said while holding the food, "I see that you praise him every time for how delicious his food is, and I don't see you praise me." 」

"It's not that I'm boasting, except for the guy who taught me how to cook. I really haven't seen anyone better than me. 」

Xu Yan also snorted and didn't speak, because he had already imagined that if he said something praiseworthy, this guy would definitely be arrogant.

............

After the meal, Xu Tian cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks: "Recently, you have learned some basic medical skills, and I may start teaching you tattoo medicine." 」

Xu Yan, who was still sitting lazily in the chair, immediately sat up straight when he heard this.

During these four years, he studied basic tattoo science at the academy. As for physical exercise, it was avoided because of his congenital weakness. He really didn't have much hope for the tattooer. The tattoo is like the warrior he knows.

He needs to engage in high-intensity combat with speed and strength, which he can't do with a weak heart. Even now, after years of training, his limit is only fifteen minutes of high-intensity exercise.

So, he put this hope in the tattoo master.
