Xie Buyan looked at the closed disciple he had worked so hard to get, and a trace of collapse appeared between his eyebrows.

He took a deep breath, then picked up the saber at his waist and hit him hard while Jiang Ci was still unconscious.

Jiang Ci came to his senses all of a sudden.

Xie Buyan sneered: "Sober? Hurry up and follow me to practice swords! ”

Seeing that Jiang Ci was still struggling, Xie Buyan had no choice but to threaten: "If you don't go, I won't help you find your sister!" ”

When Jiang Ci heard this, he had to reluctantly follow.

I have to say that although Jiang Ci always doesn't want to practice swords and learn swords, once he learns and practices, he works hard very hard, and he has high talent and rapid progress, otherwise Xie Buyan would not have been able to endure it until now.

After teaching today's content, Xie Buyan nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and saw Jiang Ci standing crookedly leaning under the tree, and suddenly became angry again.

He scolded: "Stand still! ”

Jiang Ci let out an "oh", and then slowly straightened up.

Xie Buyan reluctantly looked at him a little more pleasing to the eye, and then said: "I accepted you as a closed disciple, this move angered the Lin family, the Lin family's attitude towards the Qingming faction has been a little bad recently, and you also know about it." ”

Although the Lin family is a third-rate small family, there are many talented people in the younger generation in recent years, Lin Qingwan, Lin Qingyan, and several other children of the Lin family are all the objects that the Qingming faction wants to accept apprentices.

Xie Buyan could not represent the Qingming faction alone, so he didn't like the Lin family anymore, and he had to compromise on the matter of "not offending the Lin family".

Jiang Ci only got up to the moment at this time.

He knew that Xie Buyan didn't mean to blame him, so he pondered for a moment and said, "What's so difficult about this matter?" I heard that the Lin family and the Xie family have been a little unhappy recently, it is for the marriage of the two families, the master only needs to invite the head of the Xie family to come over, and the words reveal the meaning of closeness, the Xie family has the support of the Qingming faction, so they will be extremely tough on the marriage, then there will be disputes within the Lin family, and the relationship between the Lin and Xie families will deteriorate as a result......

He talked endlessly about his plan, and to sum it up, it was to let internal and external troubles find the Lin family, so that the Lin family would naturally be attached to the Qingming faction again.

The more Xie Buyan listened, the more excited he became, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.

He forced himself to calm down, and then looked at Jiang Ci with complicated eyes: "You are only a weak crown now, why are you so ......?"

…… Sleek and sophisticated.

Jiang Ci understood Xie Buyan's unfinished words, and just smiled: "Shizun can also think of it, but you are in a miasma and can't see clearly." ”

Xie Buhui moved his mouth, wanted to say something, and swallowed it back.

He may have thought of a solution to the problem in a few days, but it was by no means perfect and without a trace as Jiang Ci said.

Besides, how old is he? is more than five hundred years old, and it is not as good as the apprentice of the weak crown to have ideas.

But when he thought of Jiang Ci's background, he was relieved again.

He patted Jiang Ci on the shoulder: "Just do as you say...... By the way, don't forget to practice swords tomorrow morning. ”

Jiang Ci: "......"

Fuck you, why.

Xie Buyan saw that he was a little unhappy, so he could only sigh earnestly, and said step by step: "Disciple." ”

Jiang Ci: "...... Well? ”

Xie Buyan said: "You want to find your sister, don't you?" ”

Jiang Ci nodded, and a trace of melancholy appeared in his eyes: "Yes, she...... I don't know how she's doing now, I'm even afraid of her ......"

I'm afraid she's no longer in this world.

Xie Buyan patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "I'll take you to Tianji Pavilion another day to calculate, don't worry too much, what you have to do now is to work hard to improve your strength, learn the sword well, practice the sword well, and when you find your sister in the future, you can also protect her." ”

Jiang Ci listened carefully, and then responded sullenly: "Thank you, Master, for bothering you these days." I...... I used to be lazy, and I will try to correct it in the future. ”

Xie Buyan saw that his words were listened to by him, and he was also a lot more relieved, and said with satisfaction: "I don't ask you how hard you work, as long as you work hard and make progress." ”

……

The day Jiang Xingmeng and the four of them came back was December 20, which was the time when the New Year was approaching.

Whether it is the mortal realm, the cultivation realm, or the immortal realm, as long as there are people, there is a custom of celebrating the New Year.

On the 25th, Jiang Xingmeng and Luo Shuanghan left the island together to buy New Year's goods.

Jiang Xingmeng had been staying in the palace before, and the New Year's flavor was strong, but the human touch was not strong enough, and it was impossible for him to go out to buy New Year's goods in person, so he was a little excited along the way.

Luo Shuanghan smiled and watched her walk on the road jumping up and down, and said softly: "Slow down, beware of falling." ”

Jiang Xingmeng looked back with a smile: "Got it!" ”

The two bought a lot of spiritual vegetables and spiritual meat for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, except for Jiang Xingmeng, the other four people in Ziwei Mansion have been in the valley for many years, but after Jiang Xingmeng came, he resumed the habit of cooking and eating.

When passing by a tavern, Jiang Xingmeng stopped and looked at Luo Shuanghan with a blank look.

Luo Shuanghan was soft-hearted by her, but she still refused firmly: "You are still young, you can't drink." ”

Jiang Xingmeng blinked: "February will be thirteen, not small." Besides, I used to drink a lot when I was in the mortal realm. ”

Luo Shuanghan insisted that he couldn't buy wine: "Spirit wine is different from what you usually drink, it's easy to get drunk, and the stamina is too great." ”

Jiang Xingmeng hugged Luo Shuanghan's waist and said coquettishly: "Second Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, you are the best, can you buy a little bit?" ”

Luo Shuanghan was so entangled by her that she had no choice but to agree, but in the end she only bought a small pot, which should be used to relieve Jiang Xingmeng's hunger.

As soon as the two of them left the tavern, two more handsome young men walked in.

The first was a romantic-looking Lang Jun, dressed in white, who beckoned to the beautiful young man behind him: "Zigui, do you know how to drink?" ”

Jiang Ci glanced at the plaque of the tavern - "Xiaoyao Restaurant".

He nodded, "Of course." ”

Qiu Qianxue hugged his shoulders with a smile, looking like a good brother: "Okay, I'll buy more, we can drink more these days." ”

Jiang Ci glanced at him and hesitated: "Senior brother, didn't you say that drinking is forbidden in the sect?" ”

Qiu Qianxue patted him: "What are you pretending to be with me?" Now that it has been spread all over the sect, you Jiang Ci is a disciple who even dares to contradict the master of the sect, and you are still afraid of drinking and violating the rules? ”

Jiang Ci: "......"

He explained: "No, I just like to be rotten, and I have never contradicted my master. ”

Qiu Qianxue was noncommittal, and began to buy wine in a big way.

Jiang Ci was waiting for him on the side, a little bored, and suddenly, his eyes must have seen someone, and he pulled Qiu Qianxue's sleeve: "Senior brother." ”

Qiu Qianxue turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Ci looked at it again, but he didn't see anything abnormal, but he had doubts in his heart, and shook his head at the moment: "...... It's nothing. ”
