Xia Lan and Ling Nai became a master-apprentice relationship. The two left the island of Nix and went to a maple grove in Sicily.

Sicily is known as the country of maple leaves, and is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. This has also made many people yearn for this country.

"Master, what are we doing here?" Rena asked as she walked

"If you want to cultivate well, then you must find a good environment! I've found a nice spot deep in the woods before! ”

Xia Lan took Reina to a wooden house deep in the maple forest, which was relatively dilapidated, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

"Master...... What are we doing in this rotten house? Reina asked

"It's not a rotten house, I've lived there for a while! But it should still be able to live ......."

Xia Lan stepped forward to open the wooden door as she spoke, and the wooden door creaked, as if it would collapse at any time. Walking into the wooden house, it was covered in dust, and it looked like no one had cleaned it in a long time.

"Ahem...... It's so dirty in here! Reina said as she covered her nose

"It's okay, let's just clean up."

Xia Lan and Reina began to clean up, and it took them a few hours for the wooden house to finally become clean.

"It seems to be pretty good here, it's quiet!" Reina said

"Haha, that's it! I'm quite tasteful! Xia Lan said with a smile

The two began a long training in this way, and after training every day, they went to the field together to find meat to eat, which was quite a warm day, but soon, Xia Lan himself realized that it was not okay to continue like this, and he decided to start looking for work.

"Reina, you practice hard at home, I'll go find a job to support my expenses, otherwise I won't even be able to touch rice!" Xia Lan said

"Good ......"

Xia Lan came to a small town, and he saw a sign on the door of a tavern that was recruiting waiters, so he walked in. The tavern was very lively, and the guests were drinking and chatting. Xia Lan walked to the bar and asked the boss about work.

"We need a waiter here, would you like to do it?" The boss asked

"Of course I do!" Xia Lan replied excitedly

From then on, Xia Lan began his tavern work. Every day from morning to night, he is busy serving drinks, delivering food, and cleaning the table to guests. Although the work was a little hard, Xia Lan felt very satisfied. Whenever he sees the satisfied smiles of his guests, he feels that his efforts are worth it.

But soon the accident happened, one day, when Xia Lan returned home, she found Reina kneeling on the ground in pain.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—" Reina was sitting on the ground crying, and there was a stall of water and a kettle scattered on the ground, and the water was still steaming slightly, and Reina's entire arm was lying red.

"Hey! Reina, what are you doing, wow! How did you do this? Xia Lan immediately stepped forward to pick up Reina and ran to the hospital in the town, but fortunately he ran fast and allowed Reina to be treated in time.

"Why do you want to do such a dangerous thing? You are lucky this time, the treatment can be done in time without leaving a scar, but next time you can ......" Before Xia Lan finished speaking, Ling Nai buried herself in Xia Lan's arms again.

"I'm sorry master...... I just want to give you a kettle of water, so that you can have a hot water to drink after work......" Reina whispered

“……”

Xia Lan didn't blame Reina anymore, and after the injury was healed, Xia Lan quit her job in the town and took Reina to leave Sicily and go to the Ellaville continent.

"Master, why did you leave there?" Reina asked curiously

"No reason, I just want to live in a different place......

Xia Lan and Ling Nai came to the Xuzu District together, which happened to be an area dominated by martial arts, and the strong were respected, just one day, Xia Lan happened to be practicing swordsmanship with Ling Nai in the woods, and met a head of the weapon faction from the three major sects, Chen Yilong.

"You said your name is Xia Lan, right? What do you think? Interested in working in our palace? I can provide you with shelter and food, and you can also practice here with your little apprentices, how about it? Chen Yilong asked

"Really? Can it really be? Xia Lan asked in surprise

"Well, it's just that you have to do a good job as a teacher, responsible for the swordsmanship teaching of the Weapon Sect, I appreciate your swordsmanship!" Chen Yilong said

"Thank you so much! I'm going to do my job well! Xia Lan said happily

"Thank you, uncle! Rena will definitely repay you in the future! Rena bowed and thanked her

"Hahaha! You're quite interesting, from now on, you're my Weapons Sect! Keep it up! ”

"Yes!"

Since the two joined the weapon faction, most of the disciples' swordsmanship has improved rapidly under the guidance of Xia Lan, and Reina has lived up to expectations and grown into an excellent swordsman. The disciples of the Weapon Sect also called her the Queen of the Ice Sword.

———— time to go back to the present

"So Reina has already encountered this kind of thing? It's just that this personality has become ......," Hongyan said

"Ahaha, sure enough, the eighteenth female college has changed..."

"Hey, it's so hard for me to be a master...... Xia Lan said

"Hey! It's rude to talk about me while I'm not talking, right? The master ...... "At this time, Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Ling Nai came behind Xia Lan with a white long knife.

"Wow! Rena is here! How have you been doing? Xia Lan deliberately changed the topic

"You have to take care of it! Feed! You're a disciple of the master, aren't you? Come to make a comparison? Ling Nai said to the first year of junior high school and Hongyan

"We? Really? "I asked

"Oh? Interesting, huh? Just let me see if your training in the past few days has any effect in the first year of junior high school! Xia Lan said with a smile

"Ah...... Okay......" Chu Yi reluctantly agreed.

"Hehe, I haven't exercised for a long time, let me see how the master's new disciple is!" Reina said

"This is not good...... Hongyan wanted to stop it, but the first year of junior high school was already boiling.

"Whoa-" Xia Lan drew a big circle in the middle, and after calling the two into the circle, each person was given a wooden stick.

"You each have a stick, and whoever sends each other out of the circle first is the winner!" Xia Lan sat aside and said.

"You are also my junior brother! Don't say I'm bullying you! Reina said

"I'm not weak!" Said in the first year of the first year

"Ready...... Begin! ”

With Xia Lan's voice, the two picked up the wooden sticks and fought against each other.

Da Da Da –

"Oh oh - although that guy has only been practicing for 3 days, his swordsmanship is not weaker than Ling Nai......" Xia Lan said as she looked at the two of them in the discussion

"But it's clear that Reina's skills are better......," Hongyan said

"Whoosh-" Hatsuichi flashed behind Reina at the moment of the fight, "Succeeded!" Just as the first year of junior high was defeated, Reina used the tactics of soft overcoming to resolve the attack of the first year.

"Pounce-" As Reina continued to attack, Hatsuichi was beaten out hard.

"Ahh Hatsuichi fell to the ground and complained

"Didn't the master teach you to overcome rigidity with softness?" Ling Nai said and looked at Xia Lan on the side.

"Hey, hey...... You can't say that you haven't been taught! I want him to comprehend it himself......" Xia Lan turned her head and said

"Hey...... It's really ......" After saying that, Reina stretched out her hand and pulled Hakuichi up

"Thank you...... Thank you......" Chu said with a red face

"You...... Don't overthink it! I just think your skills are good! Reina said

"Ahaha...... I don't mean anything else...... It's just that you look like a friend of mine......" Hakuichi said

"Friends?"

"Hmm...... They're training somewhere else! I don't want to fall behind, but I feel farther and farther haha-" Hatsuichi laughed awkwardly

"That's right...... I'm sorry about that......" Reina said

"Alright! Everyone is a family now, don't care so much, let's get along well in the future! Xia Lan hugged the three of them and said together

"Master! What are you doing! Reina said

"That's ...... It's a little embarrassing......" Hongyan said

"By the way, I've brought some souvenirs, you can try them......" Rena pulled out a box of red wrapped cakes from her bag.

"It's ...... A Sicilian specialty? Maple cake? Xia Lan was pleasantly surprised

"yes, I didn't expect you to remember!" Reina opened the box as she spoke, and a fragrance instantly wafted from it.

"Wow – what a unique taste!" Hongyan was surprised

"You're welcome!" The first day of junior high school I picked up a piece and tasted it, which melted in the mouth and immersed him in it, the soft and glutinous taste with a faint maple leaf fragrance, which simply opened the door to a new world.

"This taste...... It's really great! Did any special materials be used? Hongyan asked as she ate

"Well...... It is made with a type of maple leaf called maple leaf, which is unique to Sicily, and is collected by the inhabitants every autumn after the arrival of autumn, and must be used in a specific way to maintain its taste and effect. Xia Lan explained

"That's amazing! Be sure to bring some of this back for everyone to try! Hongyan said

"If you like it, I'll get some more?" After saying that, Reina was ready to go get another box.

"Hey, no, no, you can leave us some!" Hongyan hurriedly stopped her.

"Hey, let's play a little game!" Xia Lan said suddenly

"Games?"

"Hmmm! The corners of Xia Lan's mouth rose in a sly arc: "Let's play hide and seek!" I'm looking for it, how about you come and hide? ”

"Oh! This is fun! Chu Yi said excitedly

"Please...... How old are you? Reina said

"Then it's such a happy decision! Hide! Xia Lan didn't pay attention to Reina, but continued to play

"Haha, Xia Lan, don't you know, when I was a child, I was a master at playing this with Ling Nai!" Hongyan said

"Oh, really? Then I'll have to be careful! Xia Lan said

"Wow-ah-"

After a burst of laughter, everyone temporarily entered a happy atmosphere, and the cold Reina also found some warmth in this game.
