Chapter 168: Departure
"In the face of such a big temptation as the Sword Venerable Tomb, it seems that there can be no absoluteness in things. Lu Ming shook his head lightly.
"That's right. The old sword master also seemed a little helpless about this: "In the trial competition organized by the Sword Hall, there was indeed a phenomenon of cheating, from the disguise of the makeover, to taking some extremely special pills, to fundamentally change the growth age of the bones, when testing the age of the bones, it looks like there are only twenty-four or fifty-four, but they may all be forty, and the types can be said to be varied, and there are no ends." ”
"Then there is no way to contain it?" Ouyang Luo frowned.
"There are methods, but as the saying goes, one foot tall is one foot taller, when people are faced with temptation, they can always stimulate extremely powerful imagination and creativity, and create something that is not laughing or crying when the world's strong people see it, to blind it, but the sword hall is definitely not a soft persimmon, once cheating is discovered, it is an extremely severe punishment such as abolishing the sword realm. The old sword master's eyes also radiated a fierce light, as if he hated the cheater.
Lu Ming knew that all this was because the rewards were too tempting, and there were always some people who would take risks with a hot head, thinking that they were the lucky one.
"In this way, Brother Ji, let my precious apprentice join your Sword Academy and go to participate in it too. Even if she is new to kendo and can't get into the top ten of the overall ranking, it's still good to see it, what she lacks now is actual combat and training. After saying that, the Sword Saint of Destruction turned his head to look at Lu Ming and said, "You don't have to worry, I will let Long Lin protect her closely." Just do your own. ”
"She really should be there. Lu Ming also felt that this was a good opportunity, after all, no matter what, Qing'er was already a real swordsman, and without training, she would never really grow.
Moreover, Lu Ming felt that the Sword Saint of Destruction had a very strong confidence in Qing'er, which could be seen from what he said, 'I can't enter the top ten in the overall ranking'.
The old sword master got up and gently patted Lu Ming and Ouyang Luo on the shoulders, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you two little guys have been tired enough lately." It's getting late. Let's go and rest, and when the sun arrives, we'll leave immediately. ”
Thinking of Qing'er, Lu Ming felt that he was all this delicate shadow in front of him. I couldn't help but sigh softly in my heart: "This little girl...... It's been a long time since I saw him. I don't know how she's doing. ”
..................
When the light illuminates the whole of Sunset City. The sun has not yet fully risen, just as it has been slow to set, such a unique environment. It also contributed to the origin of the name Sunset City.
Lu Ming was indeed too tired, he was completely asleep just after getting into bed last night, he didn't even have a dream, and his mind was completely rested.
Suddenly, Lu Ming smelled a very familiar smell, it was lettuce fish fillet porridge, this kind of porridge was often cooked by Qing'er in the past, in the haze, Qing'er's delicate little face, but it was getting closer and closer to him, and the faint fragrance emanating from his body was still so familiar and kind.
Lu Ming knew that he was still sleeping, but the porridge and body fragrance were so real that his stomach was gurgling and shouting.
In the next moment, Lu Ming's dominance in all parts of his body completely woke up from his sleep, and the instinct of his body made him suddenly open his eyes, and he saw Qing'er lying on the side of his bed, looking at himself stupidly, there was a tray beside her, and there was a big bowl of lettuce and fish fillet porridge that exuded heat and aroma combined with it.
"Qing'er?" Lu Ming never thought that she would come so soon, and cooking this kind of porridge is the most important thing to pay attention to, it is obvious that Qing'er has cut corners in none of her processes, which shows that she has been here for a long time, and she has not noticed it at all. It seems that there are two masters here, and I instinctively relax.
"Young master, you're awake, hehe, come and wipe your face. Qing'er skillfully picked up the towel and picked it up for Lu Ming, but after smiling on her delicate little face, her big eyes flickered as if she was trying to suppress something: "Young master, you have lost weight and become dark, I heard from my senior brother that you went to the Mirror Lake Swamp, it must be very bitter there, right?" But Qing'er knows that nothing can be difficult for the young master, and Qing'er also knows that my own sword realm is too poor, so I have been obediently staying at home and cultivating hard, and I won't cause a little trouble to the young master and the master, but Qing'er knows the sword demon, knows the bottomless quagmire, and those murderous adventurers......"
Qing'er paused, and her voice suppressed the choked throat: "Qing'er didn't dare to tell the master about this, and I can't restrain the young master, I just hope that the young master will not leave Qing'er wherever he goes in the future, even if he steps into the quagmire, Qing'er's body is light, and he can let the young master step on his feet, right?"
"......" Lu Ming, who used to be a lone wolf and was not good at communicating with people, was really speechless at this time, Qing'er's words were very simple, and the tone was deliberately suppressed steadily, but he felt sad.
"Yes, I went on my own adventure, but I don't know how worried my family will be. There is only such a son as himself in his father's place, and only a young master as himself in Qing'er, even if he is a coachman of the Lu family, he hopes that he will be safe and outstanding, and only in this way can the Lu family develop and go on. ”
The sadness in Lu Ming's heart was gradually replaced by warmth, and this warmth was transformed into responsibility.
"I promise you. Lu Ming patted Qing'er's little head, but she stuck out her tongue mischievously as if she had triumphed. As if sensing that she was a little forgetful, Qing'er hurriedly brought the porridge, "Come, young master, eat it while it's hot." ”
Lu Ming sniffed it, said 'It's really fragrant', and devoured it, while Qing'er looked at it with a smile, her happiness has always been so simple.
Outside the room, Long Lin watched all this quietly through a very tricky crack in the door, but the muscles twitching at the corners of his eyes and mouth from time to time showed that his mood was not stable.
"I've been so good to you, you haven't cooked me once. I am so high, you don't even look at it, what's so good about this little loser? He is simply a waste of wood outside the swamp, and he is even arrogant and can't even say a few decent words, pretending to be indifferent and playing ......cool all day long."
Long Lin thinks that he is so good, this loser is such a waste wood, but why didn't he attract the attention of this little girl?
Long Lin squinted his eyes and sideways his ears, from the time Qing'er wiped Lu Ming's face, until he saw her clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and after chatting and laughing with the loser, he really couldn't watch or listen to it.
"Hmph! One day, I will let you know what kind of man is really called a man. Long Lin raised his hand and bit the dry steamed bun viciously, turned around and walked away angrily.
Long Lin is very proud, he never disdains to use some small tricks, and he firmly believes that his comprehensive charm has always been good enough, but it is difficult for little girls to find it. Of course, he's not immune to treasures that keep any swordsman from going crazy.
"Young Master, you are now in the realm of a four-edged swordsman? It's really amazing, I remember when you left home, you were a one-bladed great swordsman. ”
Looking at Qing'er with a surprised face, Lu Ming raised his hand and hung up her little cocked nose: "Little girl, what's the matter?
"I was discovered by the young master. Qing'er smiled.
Lu Ming was also amused by Qing'er's well-behaved appearance, but he was really surprised, he didn't expect that in just one month, she had been directly promoted from a first-bladed swordsman to a five-bladed swordsman, and this kind of leapfrogging speed was definitely not covered.
The reason why Lu Ming was surprised was because he knew Qing'er very well, she had no material resources, no sword magic beads, and no sword relics, she completely relied on her own talent and hard work to advance, from this point, you can see how hard she works and how outstanding her talent is.
In terms of promotion, not only does it show the advantages of the sword body, but also because of the sword body, the sword qi they cultivate is purified and purified by the sword body, and the sword qi is stronger than the explosive power of ordinary swordsmen, so having a sword body directly draws a high-level boundary with ordinary swordsmen.
It's just that I don't know if the sword body will advance...... Lu Ming's thinking became active again.
When the sun rose, the two old-timers came to Lu Ming's room, and after the Sword Saint of Destruction saw Qing'er, the baby was terrible, and he had to listen to her recent progress in understanding the Sword of Destruction.
Do you want to make up for Qing'er's evil? The old sword master smiled indifferently, then looked at Lu Ming and said, "How is the rest?"
"Good. Lu Ming neatly picked up the reincarnation sword and said, "For so long, I have only slept like this once in the Mirror Lake Swamp." ”
Swamp, inside?The old sword master's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, he couldn't imagine how he could sleep well in that extremely harsh environment?
Lu Ming's words, the old sword master will never doubt it, and he firmly believes that Lu Ming has done this, but this process is intriguing.
"Master, you're all ready. ”
Long Lin came in and bowed down and said, this morning has indeed been busy for him, since he picked up Qing'er in the early hours of the morning, he began to feed the horses, then wash the horses, purchase the necessary supplies on the road and other preparations, it was easy to be free for a while, and he also saw Qing'er and Lu Ming talking and laughing, so he was not in a good mood this morning, but in front of the Sword Saint of Destruction, he was always very respectful.
Of course, Lu Ming ignored Long Lin's peeking eyes at him, and directly turned over and got on his horse as a matter of course, while the Sword Saint of Destruction and the old sword master didn't bother to say hello to He Qixiong, so they walked out of the gate of the Sword Courtyard and headed out of the city.
