Chapter 21: A Transaction

Zhou Ziheng shook his head slowly, "Of course it's different." Teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts. For Lianyou, I am like a teacher at school, teaching her to learn, helping her grow, and letting her grow up safely and healthily. As for whether she can reach the top of martial arts, it's not my expectation. It's just that I educated her since I was a child, so that she trusted and relied on me very much. ”

"To you, I am the leader of your martial arts. Making you stronger, and finally reaching the top of martial arts, is my only purpose, and it is also my only request for you. ”

Wang Xiaotian pondered for a while and said, "In other words, Pian You is actually the same as your daughter, and I am the thug you taught to do dirty work and tiring work." ”

Zhou Ziheng was silent.

Wang Xiaotian is even smarter than he judged.

Zhou Ziheng wanted to accept Wang Xiaotian as an apprentice, not because he saw his outstanding talent, and he had a whim.

Cao Lianyou's identity is special, and it is a very long process to protect her until she grows up and plays a role. During this time, he will need to devote a lot of time and energy.

But a lot of tedious transactional work occupies most of his time. He's busy, very busy, and there's not enough time. So much so that over the years, he has rarely been able to find time to concentrate on cultivation. It is foreseeable that in the future he will be busier than he is now.

Moreover, when Cao Lianyou grows up to perform tasks in the future, she also needs a helper who knows her roots and can be trusted to accompany her, protect her, and give up her life for her.

These are things he can't do.

Wang Xiaotian is pure and good-natured, loyal and trustworthy. Because of a promise, you can sacrifice your life to save each other, Cao Lianyou, who has never known each other before.

His performance yesterday has won Zhou Ziheng's trust. Even if his talent is not so good, Zhou Ziheng has planned to keep him by his side, whether he is an attendant or an apprentice, Zhou Ziheng will deliberately cultivate him in order to be of great use in the future.

It's just that Zhou Ziheng didn't expect that this thought was noticed by Wang Xiaotian.

Zhou Ziheng put his hands behind his back, looked at Wang Xiaotian, his eyes suddenly became as calm as water, and he said slowly: "You are a smart person." ”

Shen Shuming's heart suddenly hung up. He has followed Zhou Ziheng for many years and is very familiar with his temperament.

The face is as heavy as water, and the heart is as strong as iron, which is a portrayal of Zhou Ziheng's character.

Zhou Ziheng is not smiling, but he is by no means cross-eyebrowed. His biggest expression is as calm as water.

Over the years, Shen Shuming has met Zhou Ziheng and made countless choices. But no matter what choice he makes, his face is as calm as water, whether the other party is pitiful, weak, sad, pleading, or irritable, angry, fearful, and calm, his heart is as strong as iron.

At present, Zhou Ziheng's state shows that he will make a decision to kill and never hesitate to make a choice.

If he is satisfied with Wang Xiaotian, he will give it back. On the contrary, Wang Xiaotian's life is definitely not guaranteed.

In fact, Shen Shuming still has a good impression of Wang Xiaotian. It's just that he knows better that at this time, he must not talk more, otherwise it will be even more unfavorable to Wang Xiaotian.

Therefore, he could only cast a self-conscious look at Wang Xiaotian, and then silently prayed for him in his heart.

Wang Xiaotian didn't have time to notice the look that Shen Shuming cast. Although Zhou Ziheng did not deliberately coerce him with a rank difference, Zhou Ziheng has been in a high position for a long time, and his majesty and momentum have long been integrated into his words and deeds.

Usually, he has a kind face, and it is not easy to find the hidden majesty and momentum, but once he becomes serious, even if his face is just sinking like water, he does not need to deliberately put on a score, and the inner majesty and momentum will naturally be stimulated.

Under this condescending sense of oppression, Wang Xiaotian was already on high alert in his heart. He knew that he was just a little worm to Zhou Ziheng.

But "although I can't do it, I can't coax it." Even if I'm a little bug, I'm going to bite you with a big bump!"

Therefore, Wang Xiaotian forcibly restrained himself, the fear in his heart, shook his head lightly, and tried to say to Zhou Ziheng in a very calm tone: "You are the great wisdom, I am just a little smart." I don't dare to be a smart person in front of you. ”

Although he said neither humble nor arrogant, he was generous, but the last trace of trills betrayed his deep fear.

Zhou Ziheng's tone was still as calm as water, "A thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, lost in this jungle full of poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds, snakes, insects and beasts, brute beasts and strange beasts, not only has he never eaten anything, nor has he been eaten by snakes, insects and beasts. ”

"Moreover, he was caught by the brutes and was able to escape. So many strange beasts didn't kill him. He was alive and kicking in the jungle for so long. Without anyone to point out, he was also promoted to level 5 of the Force. Gee. Isn't it incredible, you think?"

Zhou Ziheng continued: "If that's all there is to it. Because I've heard of cases of children growing up alone in the jungle or raised by wild animals. But these children, without exception, will have some special symptoms. ”

"For example, the aphasia caused by the inability to communicate with people in language for a long time, the distorted limbs due to the long-term living with wild animals, the inability to walk and crawl, the special eating habits that have been formed over time because they cannot make fires and can only eat raw meat, and the lack of communication with their own kind, resulting in a withdrawn personality, irritability, and animalistic thinking, etc. ”

He didn't have any of these symptoms. For so long, no one can talk to, no one can help with laundry and cooking, any teenager is probably crazy, right?

Zhou Ziheng questioned these things, Wang Xiaotian knew what was going on.

He has the skill of "ignition", he can make a fire and eat cooked food at any time, in order to avoid the loss of speech caused by the lack of language communication with others, he forces himself to recite poetry for an hour a day to maintain his language ability, and he also forces himself to write for an hour a day, just so that he can perfectly integrate into the outside society when he walks out of the forest.

He did it. Xin Guangli, Ling Yanzi, Ye Tianxun and even Wang Jianchuan, none of them were suspicious of him.

However, Wang Xiaotian didn't dare to explain to Zhou Ziheng what he questioned. Because, like Zhou Ziheng, a thoughtful person, if you think about it carefully, you will find many things that cannot be explained.

For example, who taught Wang Xiaotian the knowledge of surviving in the wild? Where did he learn the poems he recited every day? When the Force was promoted, he could comprehend the skills, but he had never heard of it, and there were those who comprehended this knowledge. Who taught him to write? He can't say that he was born with it, right? He can't be caught as a monster, sliced and dissected!

Among the people Wang Xiaotian came into contact with, in addition to Zhou Ziheng, Liu Zhongwen also noticed his secret. However, it was also at that time that he said too much about the education model of Furong Academy, so that he missed the bottom.

plus the current Zhou Ziheng. After careful study, Zhou Ziheng also made him suspicious because he said too much about his experience.

This fully proves how correct the old saying "too many words must be lost"!

In short, his experience in the past few years is so unbelievable that anyone who says it will think that he made it up.

However, it can't be helped, this is really the truth. As for why he can do this, it is his biggest secret.

And this biggest secret, even if he tells it to people, others will either dissect and study him as a monster. Either he will, thinking that he is a psychopath, with a pit in his head, and water in the pit, and the water is deep enough to fit Mount Tai.

Wang Xiaotian can imagine the reaction of others after he tells the truth.

Nine souls in one? It's good to say that there are no examples of polysoulism. ---However, it is unheard of for a body to have nine souls.

Generally speaking, the more souls there are, the more fierce the struggle between each other, and the more neurotic the behavior of the person. Nine Souls...... It's just crazy or not.

Knowing that there is not only the sea in the sea, but also the island, and there are trees on the island?--- this is even more ridiculous. Knowing the sea is said to be the sea, but it is just that, taking its vast and boundless beautiful meaning, ordinary people's knowledge of the sea, that is, small rivers and lakes.

In the historical records of thousands of years, there is really no one who knows the sea, it is really an endless sea, and I have never heard of such wonders as islands in the sea and trees on the islands.

The soul of the thousand-year-old fox man invaded his sea of consciousness, and as a result, half of his soul power was devoured, and he left behind the Force cultivation experience that had accumulated for thousands of years and fled?

What are you kidding, after being promoted to the eighth level of the Force, the longevity of human beings will be greatly extended. But it is documented in the literature. The longest-lived eighth-level cultivator. But he lived for five hundred years.

There are no eighth-level orcs at all, and the highest is only seventh-level orcs, and it is impossible for Shouyuan to surpass the eighth-level grandmaster of humans.

The old fox man who has lived for thousands of years, this one exists in the monster, right?

In order to resist the invasion of the soul of the old fox man, a soul took the initiative to sacrifice itself to block the killing blow of the old fox man?

In order to protect the sea of knowledge, a soul took the initiative to sacrifice itself to make up for the hole in the barrier of consciousness, caused by the invasion of the soul of the old fox man?

This brain hole is already big and boundless, Wang Xiaotian, can you be sure that these are not made up by you because of hysteria?

Therefore, in response to Zhou Ziheng's question, Wang Xiaotian spread his hands helplessly, "I know these things are incredible, but what I said is true." Believe it or not. I can't even explain it to you. ”

He paused, and then said, "If you don't believe me, I can only say that we have never known each other before, and we have no grudges, so I don't need to lie to you." ”

There is also a hidden line that Wang Xiaotian didn't say, but he knew that Zhou Ziheng must understand, that is, "If I wanted to be unfavorable to Cao Lianyou, I did it yesterday, so why make up lies to lie to you?"

Zhou Ziheng looked at Wang Xiaotian, and Wang Xiaotian also looked at him calmly. The two of them looked at each other for a long time.

Shen Shuming's heart rose to his throat, he knew very well that Zhou Ziheng was making decisions, and Wang Xiaotian's life and death were completely in Zhou Ziheng's thoughts.

He quietly looked at Zhou Ziheng's hand, wanting to see the clue from Zhou Ziheng's subtle movements. But Zhou Ziheng's hands were motionless behind his back, and he found nothing.

Zhou Ziheng and Wang Xiaotian, like two sculptures, do not move, and their faces are very calm, and they do not see any joy or anger.

Wu Ling'er quietly came to Shen Shuming's side and said in a low voice, "That kid is not simple. The two of them are of the same kind. That one...... The smell is similar. Don't worry about the matter between them, be careful to get you in. ”

Shen Shuming was shocked, thinking of what he had experienced over the years, and his heart was full of flavors.

If he had chosen another path back then, he would have been a prince, or a lieutenant general, or a general. Walked this path...... Alas, it's hard to put into words.......

He quietly let go of his clenched left hand and whispered, "Where did I worry about it?" I was just...... I'm just watching the excitement. ”

The two sides looked at each other for more than three minutes. In these three minutes, the two of them were as calm as water on the surface, but in fact, in their hearts, like the sea, looking at the sea was flat, in fact, they didn't know how many thoughts, like ocean waves, were born, deduced, evaluated, and silent, without stopping for a moment.

It wasn't until the final choice was made that Zhou Ziheng said, "Okay." I believe you. ”

Shen Shuming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although he is an outsider, he is more nervous than Wang Xiaotian. Not because he is generous by nature, but because he looks at Wang Xiaotian pleasing to the eye.

I have confirmed the eyes, and it is a person with a temper.

It's only because of his temper that he cares about his safety. Otherwise, what does life and death have to do with me?

Wang Xiaotian did not speak. The truth that if you say too much, you will lose, Wang Xiaotian can be regarded as a thorough understanding. He didn't know how to pick up Zhou Ziheng's words. So, he simply nodded and didn't speak.

Zhou Ziheng said again: "You are a smart person, I like to deal with smart people." There is a famous saying in our profession, 'Speak to the wise, and speak to the fool'. Hot-blooded fools are always easy to be held hostage by righteousness. Smart people, on the other hand, will make choices that are beneficial to them. Therefore, it is much easier to convince smart people than fools. ”

For some reason, when Shen Shuming heard Zhou Ziheng's words, he felt that his face was tight, and his face burned badly. Alas, back then......

"I'm just a little bit clever. Wang Xiaotian once again stated his position, "It's righteous, the mission or something, it's too complicated, I don't understand." I hope what you have to say is not too complicated. ”

"It's not complicated at all, it's very simple. How about we make a deal?"

"What deal?"
