Chapter 16 Learning
Ling Xiao returned to his residence, smelled a tempting aroma in the room, which seemed to arouse people's appetites, quietly swallowed twice, and then looked in the direction of the kitchen.
At this time, the maid Chunlan came out of it with a plate of snacks, not knowing what she was thinking, and she still had a happy smile on her face. Suddenly seeing Ling Xiao, he was startled, and as soon as his hand unconsciously loosened, the plate was about to fall to the ground, although there was a thick carpet on the ground, but if it fell on it, those pastries would obviously not be edible.
Before Chunlan screamed, Ling Xiao's body was like an afterimage, rushing over at high speed, and then before the plate hit the ground, Kankan caught it with his hand, and the magic was that not a single piece of the pastry inside fell out.
Chunlan's face turned pale with fright, covering her plump chest with one hand, and she even forgot that her cultivation was not as good as her young master, how could she suddenly have such a skill.
Ling Xiao picked up a piece of pastry with his hand, threw it directly into his mouth, chewed it twice, and shouted that it was delicious.
Chunlan reacted at this time, and said with crimson cheeks: "Young master, you, you haven't washed your hands yet." ”
Ling Xiao smiled embarrassedly, probably due to the influence of the original Ling Xiao, his surname seemed to be gradually becoming more cheerful. Just like the challenge he promised to Ulanto today, if Ling Xiao was still in Shushan, he would definitely rather retract his head than agree to the other party's challenge.
What is dignity? Dignity is a display of strength! But at that time, it seemed that he was impulsive, and he directly agreed, and now that he thinks about it, he is not used to Ulanto's constant provocations, but in his bones, that unyielding soul should still occupy a more important side!
Now Ling Xiao really understands why he was calculated by Xie Xiaoyan at that time, it was because the original Ling Xiao loved Xie Xiaoyan deeply in his bones, knowing that she had designed herself, and would rather go home sad without saying a word, and was hit by his father Ling Tianxiao's anger, not so much that Ling Tianxiao lost his hand in anger, but that Ling Xiao, who was disheartened, begged for death.
After Ling Xiao washed his hands, he learned that Chunlan and Qiuyue learned the news that they were going to duel with Ulanto tomorrow, and specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for themselves to cheer for Ling Xiao in this way.
The maids of aristocratic families, especially the personal maids like Chunlan and Qiuyue, are not all competent, they must be very good girls, and they have been cultivated since they were young, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or character martial arts, up to astronomy and geography, down to rough cooking, I dare not say that they are all proficient, but at least they can all be mastered.
The vast majority of personal maids will basically become the master's concubines in the end. Therefore, many maids of big aristocratic families are much better than the ladies of ordinary rich and noble families.
After dinner, Chunlan saw that Ling Xiao was in a good mood, and said cautiously: "Young Master, you are going to duel with that Ulanto tomorrow, right?"
Ling Xiao nodded, and Chunlan said, "Qiu Yue and I are both ninth-order sword servants, do you want to... We have played tricks with the young master, so that the young master can have a good idea of tomorrow's competition. ”
Qiu Yue also nodded and looked at Ling Xiao on the side, obviously the two girls felt that tomorrow's competition was not very optimistic, and the gap between the ninth-order sword attendant and the fifth-order sword attendant was not small, especially when I heard that Ulanto had already stepped into the ranks of sword masters with half a foot.
Chunlan's eyes suddenly fell on the sword that Ling Xiao brought back, and she lit up leisurely, and then said with some surprise: "Young Master, where did you get this enchanted weapon......? Belch. Chunlan realized that she had said the wrong thing, covered her mouth violently, and then looked at Ling Xiao carefully.
Ling Xiao waved his hand: "I'm not so fragile, you two don't have to be so careful when you talk in the future, okay?"
"Young Master is magnanimous!" Chunlan and Qiuyue stood up together to give Ling Xiao a rudeness, their eyes were a little red, they had served the young master with their hearts for so many years, and finally got such a thoughtful sentence from the young master, Chunlan and Qiuyue had a feeling, even if they were going to die for Ling Xiao now, they were willing.
The young master of an aristocratic family is not as benevolent as Ling Xiao. Generally, even if they don't beat and scold the maids around them, they will at least maintain their dignity as nobles, and they will never say such things as Ling Xiao.
Otherwise, so many rich and noble people would have worked hard to get a noble title. Nobility is not just a manifestation of honor, it is a real privileged class!
Qiu Yue said softly on the side at this time: "Young Master, this enchanted long sword seems to be quite of a high level!Sister Chunlan, you see, this crystal nucleus should have a second order, right?"
Chunlan leaned over, nodded and said, "It should be, this sword looks ......" Chunlan stopped her mouth as she spoke, and glanced at Qiu Yue, the two of them smiled like a heart, and they both saw from the decoration of the scabbard that this should be a sword for girls, and said that the young master is excellent! Xie Xiaoyan has eyes but no beads, and now there are girls who like the young master.
Ling Xiao had never fought with the people of this world, and seeing that Chunlan intended to fight with him, he readily agreed, and the three of them came to the courtyard, the evening sky was gray, the stars had begun to flicker, and the street lamps in the courtyard where several demonic beast crystal nuclei provided energy emitted a soft light.
Chunlan stood in the courtyard, holding a wooden sword for practice in her hand, and looked at Ling Xiao with a smile, there would never be such a presumptuous opportunity in the past, seeing that the young master seemed to have come out of that turmoil, Chunlan and Qiuyue's psychology was much happier.
Chunlan put her hands together, the wooden sword in her palm, the blade of the sword facing upward, and bent slightly towards Ling Xiao, this is the etiquette between martial artists.
Ling Xiao returned the salute with the same gesture.
At this time, I saw that Chunlan's temperament changed in vain, from a gentle and cheerful beautiful maid to a chivalrous woman with a solemn face and a little murderous aura on her body.
Knowing that the young master would not strike first, Chunlan immediately snorted softly, "Young master, be careful!" The wooden sword made a "whew" sound that broke through the air and stabbed straight towards Ling Xiao's chest.
Ling Xiao could see from Chunlan's starting style that Chunlan was practicing the family heirloom method of hurricane breaking, although Chunlan's cultivation was only a ninth-order sword attendant, but the heaven-level mid-level sword skills were really extraordinary, and the wooden sword swayed an afterimage, which looked like thousands of swords were stabbing at Ling Xiao's body at the same time.
Qiu Yue on the side looked a little nervous, her two white and slender hands unconsciously clenched tightly, her teeth bit her lower lip, and her eyes stared at the two people in the field without blinking.
Ling Xiao shouted, "It's good!" The wooden sword in his hand slammed upward, blocking Chunlan's wooden sword very accurately, and then actually slashed at Chunlan's wooden sword at a speed faster than Chunlan's.
Chunlan's eyes burst out with brilliance, and she burst out: "Okay!" Then her body twisted to the left very lightly, detached from Ling Xiao's wooden sword, and turned to Ling Xiao's side, and the wooden sword in her hand was smeared like Ling Xiao's neck with her backhand.
Qiu Yue on the side couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, and she was about to scream nervously.
Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and he blocked it with the wooden sword in his hand, and a huge force knocked Ling Xiao away, and then the wooden sword in Chunlan's hand stabbed Ling Xiao's lower abdomen at an irregular angle like a fallen leaf swept up by the wind!
This is the true essence of Hurricane Break, otherwise how could it be called a heaven-level exercise! Chunlan and Qiuyue have average martial arts talents, and their level is not high, but they have practiced hard and seriously for so many years, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Ling Xiao, a guy with countless swordsmanship in his head, even if he was a first-order swordsman, if he cultivated swordsmanship below the heaven-level level, he might not be able to get a favor from the two women.
Ling Xiao let out a long laugh, and his body took advantage of Chunlan's power to knock him away just now, and he took a few steps backwards, and was about to crash into the courtyard wall, but Chunlan's long sword chased after him like the wind.
Qiu Yue over there was so nervous that she even wanted to open her mouth to remind Chunlan, but at this moment......
Ling Xiao actually kicked backwards onto the high courtyard wall, and actually walked three or four steps upright, seeing Qiu Yue stunned, with this power, Ling Xiao was like a big bird, pounced on Chunlan from a high place, with an irresistible momentum, the wooden sword in his hand roared and slashed at Chunlan's head.
And Chunlan was too fast, it was too late to close the momentum at this time, and she was startled by the hideous distortion on Ling Xiao's face when she pounced, and her eyes closed unconsciously, even if it was a wooden sword, it could knock people out if it was solid.
After waiting for a long time, I heard Qiu Yue's surprised voice: "Wow, young master, you are so handsome!"
Chunlan hurriedly opened her eyes, but saw a wooden sword stop on her head, and Chunlan only found out at this time that she was shocked into a cold sweat, her entire back was soaked, and her clothes were clinging to it, which was very uncomfortable.
Looking at the indifferent smile on Ling Xiao's face, Chunlan even wondered if she had misread it just now, the sword that was like a stroke of genius just now was really used by the young master?
Ling Xiao put down the wooden sword, took the handkerchief handed over by Qiu Yue, wiped the sweat on his face, let out a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart: If it weren't for the foundation of so many exercises in Shushan, plus Chunlan had no actual combat experience, he would not be Chunlan's opponent anyway.
It seems that the swordsmanship in this world is not as bad as I imagined, and there are merits, but I have underestimated the people of the world. If it weren't for the trick with Chunlan today, I wouldn't have to suffer that Ulanto's loss tomorrow.
Ling Xiao thought in his heart, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he still had to speed up his cultivation of swordsmanship.
Chunlan changed her clothes, her face was still flushed with the flush after exercise, and her eyes stared at Ling Xiao: "The swordsmanship and exercises used by the young master today, Chunlan has never seen it..."
Seeing Chunlan and Qiu Yue's moving appearance, Ling Xiao knew what the two of them were thinking, and said with a smile: "You two, practice hurricane breaking well, you can't chew too much, you are still too bad at the heaven-level mid-level swordsmanship? When I have time, I can pass on a set to you, and I believe that it won't be long before you can break through to the sword master realm!"
"Ahh That's great!" Chunlan said in surprise, and then bowed down to Qiu Yue and the two: "Thank you young master, young master will definitely be able to win tomorrow!"
Although the two girls were curious about the young master's strange swordsmanship from somewhere, they understood what to ask and what not to ask, as Ling Xiao's personal maid, as long as the young master was still the young master and was good to them, it would be enough.
