Chapter 57: Preparation

When Nie Lin came to the gate of the Liufu, the two swordsmen at the gate of the Liufu knew Nie Lin, but they looked at Nie Lin's expression a little strangely.

That look seemed to be the kind of thing that everyone was a man and understood in their hearts, which made Nie Lin wonder, could it be that the little devil came back and spread it around the mansion that he couldn't go to the Qinglou.

But what others think, what does it matter to me.

Nie Lin ignored it, and said hello to the two sword guards, and after the two of them threw an understanding smile at Nie Lin, they let Nie Lin enter the mansion.

On the way to the South Courtyard, when Nie Lin passed through the corridor, he ran into Zheng Licheng who was about to go out.

After seeing Nie Lin, Zheng Licheng's expression was also a little strange, but he still asked in a harmonious voice, "Little Linzi, have you eaten?"

"Uncle Zheng, I've eaten, I'm sorry for you!"

Every time Nie Lin met Zheng Licheng, he would remember Zheng Licheng's idea of cultivating himself into a little fat, so he smiled lightly.

Zheng Licheng's expression was still strange, looking at Nie Lin left and right, so he came closer and said in a low voice: "Xiaolinzi, you really went to a place like Qinglou, although you are old enough to marry a daughter-in-law, but if you go to that place too much, you will hurt your body, and the women there are not clean, so you should go less in the future, right?"

Nie Lin was stunned and said, "Uncle Zheng, do you really believe in this kind of thing?"

Uncle Zheng smiled: "I don't believe it, but at your age, it is inevitable that there will be some curiosity, when Young Master Chengfeng was so old as you, he also secretly went to the Qinglou, and when he came back, he didn't suffer less, hehe!"

After that, Zheng Licheng said again: "The master knows about your return, and he has already explained, you can go to the South Courtyard with me directly, it just so happens that Tu Lao is also in the house, I want to see you!"

"That Tu Lao from the Sword Pavilion?" Nie Lin said.

"Well, Elder Tu resigned from the position of the elder of the Sword Pavilion Rongtang last month, and now he has been idle and settled in the city, so he often comes to the mansion to walk around and see Hu'er!"

Nie Lin had some doubts in his heart, and he didn't ask, so he and Zheng Licheng came to the South Courtyard.

When they entered the living room of the main house, they saw Tu Zhengde and Liu Jingtao sitting at the table talking, and when they saw Nie Lin coming in, the two stopped talking.

Nie Lin raised his fist and saluted: "Senior Liu, Senior Tu!"

Liu shook his hand and said, "No need to be polite, no one in the whole house knows about your return, Hu'er is practicing in the Sword Academy, you can visit you later, we just have something to say to you!"

......

At the same time, in the wing room of the east courtyard, Liu Yiyun sat at the table, a pair of small hands clenched into fists, with a slight flush on her pretty face, and her expression looked a little nervous and excited.

And beside her, Liu Yixian was angry, and now everyone in the whole house knew about Nie Lin's visit to the Qinglou, but when it came to Liu Yiyun, no matter what she said, Liu Yiyun didn't believe it.

At this time, Liu Yixian said angrily: "Hey, aren't you angry at all about that guy's visit to the Qinglou?"

"He walked around the Qinglou, even if he died in that woman's pile, what does it have to do with me, why should I be angry?" Liu Yiyun suddenly let go of her fist, and the excited expression after hearing the news calmed down.

She didn't believe what the little devil said, Nie Lin would go to visit the Qinglou, and with her understanding of the little devil, it must be the little devil who was playing right and wrong in front of her again, and was making Nie Lin bad, so she wasn't fooled.

But I was also a little nervous in my heart, but I really wanted to see that guy, to see if he was fat or thin, and I wanted to ask him in person if he really went to visit the Qinglou as soon as he came back, so it was very contradictory, every time I thought of it, there were two blush on that moving face.

On the contrary, when Liu Yixian saw her expression, she hated her even more, and said: "You spring-hearted guy, you told me last time that he still had a woman outside, don't you want to know who that woman is?"

"Ah, who is it?" As soon as Liu Yiyun heard this, she was immediately aroused, and took the little devil's hand and urged to ask: "Tell me quickly, who is it?"

"Hmph, I made a special trip to Lufu today to confirm it with Sister Xueyan, I heard Sister Xueyan say that that woman often wears a veil, and she should be more mature and beautiful than you, you be careful that your sweetheart is hooked by others!"

Liu Yiyun asked nervously, "Then how old is she?"

"Well, it seems to be twenty years old!" Liu Yixian said: "I heard that you are still a pharmacist, and you will live in the academy in the future, in this case, you will have no chance in the future!"

Hearing this, Liu Yiyun became nervous and said, "What should I do then?"

The little devil rolled his eyes and said: "But hearing is false, let's find a time to see that woman first, to see what she looks like, if she is not as beautiful as you, then it will not pose any threat, if she is more beautiful than you, the two of us will join forces, will we lose to her, don't you worry, your sweetheart will never be able to run, hehe!"

"Nonsense, I don't have it, it's your sweetheart!"

After Liu Yiyun blushed, she suddenly realized that she was induced by the little devil, and her heart was completely snooped on by the little devil, and she was immediately shy and unstoppable, eager to find a hole to get into.

......

In the living room of the South Courtyard.

Nie Lin sat down, and Liu Jingtao waited for the maid to serve tea and retreat before saying, "I guess you know about Tianlu Academy's participation in the Sword Childhood Contest this time, right?"

"Well, the juniors already know, and Mr. plans to leave for the capital in three days!" Nie Lin said.

Liu said in shock: "This competition is very important to Tianlu Academy, after Tianlu Academy is upgraded to a large teaching school, it can be comprehensively developed in many aspects, and Lao Lu has revealed his intention to me, Tianlu Academy intends to be restructured after the competition at this time, and become a sword academy, and Mr. Jian Weng and Tu Lao will officially join!"

Nie Lin heard Zheng Licheng talk about this matter before, so he asked Tu Zhengde the doubts in his heart, and said: "Elder Tu, the status of the elder of the Sword Pavilion is not low, why did you resign and choose to join the Heavenly Road Sword Academy after the promotion?"

Tu Lao said: "Children, sometimes when a person makes a choice, the surname of reason and the surname of feeling account for half, some people are impulsive, some people are deliberate, some people are forced to be helpless, some people are for some reasons, and some people are completely voluntary!"

Nie Lin said: "Then Tu Lao should have made such a decision after some deep thought, right?"

"Yes!" Tu Lao nodded and said: "Actually, the old man and the sword man were originally from the Sword Pavilion, but after leaving the Sword Pavilion, they both decided to join the Heavenly Road Sword Academy because of an old friend who passed away!"

After that, Tu Lao looked at Nie Lin and said, "And this old friend is Ji Wudao!"

Nie Lin looked at Tu Lao with a somewhat strange expression: "Could it be that Tu Lao and Jian Weng have another unknown reason before they decided to join the Tianlu Sword Academy?"

Tu Zhengde was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since you are a smart child, the old man will say it clearly, in a small sword beast village, there are clues about the descendants of the five thousand-year-old families, although it cannot be confirmed, and it is a guess, but it also has to make people think of this, the old man and the sword man are equally optimistic about you, of course, there are also reasons for you, we suspect that you and Hu'er may also be the descendants of these five thousand-year-old families......"

Nie Lin looked strange, and didn't answer the words, but got up and said, "I'll go see Hu'er......"

Liu Jingtao and Tu Zhengde glanced at each other and watched Nie Lin go out.
