Shen Jing's voice was not loud, just enough to make Wen Hua and Wen Jiu, who were sitting opposite, hear clearly. He smiled, Wen Hua frowned and remained silent, Wen Jiu's face full of suspicion.

"Family teacher Li Chengren!"

After hearing Shen Jing's words, Wen Jiu was a little hesitant at first. Li Chengren, this rather familiar name seems to have been heard somewhere, but he can't remember it for a while.

After a while, Wen Jiu suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Jing with some surprise and said, "I remember, your master's name is the same as the name of the predecessor of the Sword God, your master is ......."

In the hall, except for Wen Jiu talking, the other three people did not say a word.

Wen Jiu's words became smaller and smaller, and in the end, they were as thin as silk, and he hesitated and did not continue. Because he suddenly thought of a terrible fact, he urgently turned his head to ask his grandfather for verification. Grandpa's expression was calm and he couldn't see any change, but Wen Jiu could see it clearly, and Grandpa had been looking at Shen Jing, and it had always been.

Everything was in plain sight, and Wen Jiu knew that the idea in his heart was right!

Wen Hua laughed loudly after pondering for a moment: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that the Nanke Sword God, who had been hiding from the world for less than twenty years, would actually live in seclusion in this small Plum Mist City. In terms of age, although I am much older than your master, in terms of swordsmanship, he is enough to be called the predecessor of the world. One person holds a three-foot Qingfeng sword in the world, and one person holds an inch of silver needle to save the people. The great heroes of chivalry, for the country and the people, they are all heroes worthy of the admiration of the people of the world. ”

Wen Hua's words of approval were hearty and enjoyable, his laughter was undiminished, and his eyes were clear.

This is something that the master has never told him. But at this moment, Shen Jing could also guess that it must be the master's master, the person with the sword was the master, and it was the senior Han who saved the common people.

Wen Hua's words were sprinkled, and the meaning of praise was overflowing. Shen Guo actually had some thoughts in his heart about the master's stay in Meiwu City for twenty years, and everything was related to him. After Wen Hua finished speaking, Shen Jing got up and bowed respectfully: "I thanked Senior Wen for his praise on behalf of the master. ”

Wen Hua waved his hand and smiled: "It's not my arbitrariness, it's the consensus of the people in the rivers and lakes, little brother doesn't have to thank me." Speaking of which, more than 20 years ago, I had a few encounters with your master, and from the looks of his face, I remember him as more like a scholar than a swordsman. Like your master, you look soft and weak, but you never thought you were such a powerful swordsman. ”

Although the master dresses casually on weekdays, the master still has an elegance in his bones, and the master's appearance is not to be said. When I was a child, the matchmakers in the neighborhood did not come to the door to tell the master about family affairs, and the master replied very tactfully, just two words: "Get out!" ”

So since then, there has been no matchmaker to talk about family affairs.

Before Shen Guo could reply, Wen Hua, who was quite interested, opened his mouth again: "Sacrifice your life for righteousness, kill yourself and become benevolent!" Don't weaken your master's name in the future. ”

Judging from the word Wen Hua calling him a "swordsman", Shen Guo knew that the other party did not mean to belittle. He listened to Wen Hua's words and nodded yes again and again.

It was only now that the warm wine, which had not been spoken for a long time, was relieved. He first looked at Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning felt the gaze he projected and asked softly, "Xiao Jiu'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wenjiu shook his head and came back to his senses. He looked at Shen Jing and asked a little nervously and excitedly, "Is your master really a senior of Nanke Sword God?" ”

Shen Jing nodded: "Yes." ”

"Is it Li Chengren, the great swordsman who fought alone against the five great masters of the imperial court in the first battle of the East China Sea?" Wenjiu couldn't wait to ask again.

"It seems like that." Shen Jing replied calmly.

When Shen finished speaking, the excited Wen Jiu had already gotten up and ran in front of him, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly: "Big brother, big brother Shen!" Since I practiced swords when I was a child, I have regarded the Sword God seniors as my idols, so, big brother, can you take me to meet the Sword God seniors? I'm content with just one side. ”

Wen Jiu stared at Shen Jing, his eyes full of hope.

Wen Hua and Jiang Ning all shook their heads and chuckled when they saw this, they all knew Xiao Jiu'er's temperament very well.

Shen Guan smiled and patted the back of Wen Jiu's hand, and said softly: "Little Master Wen, don't get excited!" ”

As soon as Shen Kuang's words came out, Wen Jiu said with a smile: "Brother Shen, you can just call me Wen Jiu." Otherwise, you can call me Xiao Jiu'er like Sister Ning, and call Xiao Gongzi Wen to see more. ”

When Shen Guan heard this, he chuckled: "Then I'll call you Wen Bar!" Wenjiu, my master traveled to the rivers and lakes a few months ago, and as for where he went, his old man didn't even tell me, so I don't know where his old man is now? ”

Hearing this, the warm wine, which was originally full of joy, was a little lost for a while.

Seeing this, Shen Guo comforted: "You don't have to be disappointed, maybe the master will come back during this time?" If the master comes back, I will inform you as soon as possible, and the master will be very willing to see you if he wants to come. ”

Shen Jing could see that Wenjiu was a pure-minded teenager, so he was not disgusted by Wenjiu's reaction at this time, but just found it interesting.

Wen Jiu, who was already discouraged, hurriedly nodded yes after hearing this. "Yes, yes, yes, if the seniors come back, Brother Shen will definitely send someone to inform me as soon as possible, and I will definitely go over immediately without saying a word."

Wen Jiu, after speaking, he held Shen Jing's hand tightly with his backhand. He had a smile on his face, but at this time, how to look at the smile and how flattering. "Brother Shen, does the Sword God senior still have the will to accept another apprentice? If so, what do you think of me? How am I! ”

As soon as Wen Jiu's words came out, Wen Hua, who was sitting opposite, spoke out and scolded softly: "Nonsense! Are you a naughty boy when you are an apprentice? Say goodbye and worship? ”

However, Wen Jiu didn't seem to have heard of his grandfather's scolding words, and still looked at Shen Jing with a heartfelt expression.

Shen Guan smiled, thinking that this teenager was really interesting. He replied softly: "I don't know if the master has the will to accept apprentices, these need to wait for the master to come back, and you can ask for Wenjiu in person." ”

"Yes, yes, how can you be so sloppy? You should respectfully ask in person. Wen Jiu still grabbed Shen Jing's hand and muttered to himself.

Shen Jing opened his mouth and said: "Wenjiu, don't worry, if the master has the intention of accepting apprentices, you will definitely be favored by the master with your talent!" ”

"Really?" Wen Jiu said excitedly.

"Hmmm! I know the master very well, and he is an old man. ”

Hearing this, Wen Jiu let go of Shen Jing's hand with a smile, and paced back and forth in the hall with some excitement, as if the predecessor of the Sword God had promised to accept him as an apprentice.

After a while, Wen Hua on the side spoke again: "Stinky boy, it's not a shame, come back and sit down for me." ”

Wen Jiu didn't dare to disobey his grandfather's words, so he paused and sat down again, but the excitement in his heart was still difficult to hide. In fact, Wen Hua can only be regarded as a pretentious act on the spot, so as not to make the intention of posting upside down too obvious. But then again, if Wenjiu can really worship Li Chengren's door, it will be a great honor for Wenjiu himself and the entire Wen family.

After this time, Wen Jiu's attitude towards Shen Guo has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and Brother Shen shouted on the left and Brother Shen on the right, obviously forgetting all the business he had promised.

However, Wen Hua didn't care about anything, whether it was in talent or identity, Shen Guo far exceeded the requirements, so it was no longer necessary to let Wen Jiu come forward.

This simple meeting in the hall and the examination and teaching have come to an end, and Shen Jing can be regarded as having passed the examination.

After another moment, after the matter was over, Wen Hua and Wen Jiu were led back to their room by Chen'er.

Shen Kuang and Jiang Ning walked side by side, out of the hall to the courtyard, the two of them looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and it was already the willow tops on the moon.

The night breeze was cool, and after passing those things just now, neither of them spoke at this time, so they walked slowly towards Jiang Ning's small building.

Although neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was not awkward, but rather natural.

"You—" At some point, the two of them spoke almost at the same time.

After looking at each other and smiling, Shen Jing said softly: "You speak first." ”

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, and said as she walked, "I'm sorry for your trouble." There was still a hint of apology in his tone.

Shen Guo smiled lightly: "It's nothing, everyone takes what they need." If I'm not serious, I'll be in trouble. In the future, I can still count on Miss Jiang to help me hide my identity. ”

Shen Kuang's tone of voice was very much like he was making a deal with Jiang Ning, his voice was flat, and he couldn't say that he had any emotions. However, listening to Jiang Ning's ears has a different meaning, coldness, distance, all kinds of meanings are self-evident.

Jiang Ning thought that the words she cared about would get a gentle smile from Shen Jing, but she didn't expect that Shen Jing would just regard the matter between them as a transaction for everyone to take what they need, so she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But when she thought about it, she felt that this emotion was so unfounded. So for a while, she didn't answer.

Shen Guo didn't hear Jiang Ning's answer for a long time, so he turned his head and took a look, and saw that Jiang Ning was in a normal mood, so he didn't think much about it.

The two quickly walked to the courtyard where the small building was located, and Shen Jing's footsteps stopped gently outside the courtyard. Jiang Ning, who was walking in front, suddenly noticed that the person behind him had stopped, so he also stopped and looked back.

"Why don't you leave?" Jiang Ning asked.

"It's getting late, I should go back to Miss Jiang." Shen Guo responded.

Jiang Ning's words paused for a moment, and what he wanted to say was finally not spoken. She took a closer look at the person behind her, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Then I'll ask Chen'er to send a car to take you back later." ”

Shen Guo shook his head and said, "No need Miss Jiang, I'll just walk back by myself, then I'll leave first, see you next time." ”

After speaking, Shen turned around and prepared to leave.

In fact, Shen Jing's pace deliberately slowed down a bit, so that he could hear Jiang Ning's words of goodbye and the like. However, there was no sound behind him, not even footsteps.

After walking a few steps, Shen Jing stopped, turned around to take a look, and saw Jiang Ning standing in front of the courtyard quietly looking at him.

"Why don't you go in?" Shen Guo looked at her for a moment and asked.

"Then why don't you come in? Am I that scary? Jiang Ning responded. The emotions in her tone were diverse, like anger, like anger, like stubbornness, and like indescribable wonder.

Shen Guo didn't know how to answer, so he smiled and said his true thoughts: "Actually, I just don't want to trouble you." ”

"If I don't send you personally, how can I be troublesome."

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, Shen Jing did not answer. The two looked at each other from a distance, and the moonlight shone on their faces, so cold and cold.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Guo said, "Do you want to, let's go together." ”

Jiang Ning didn't speak, nodded lightly, and walked over.
