Three Hills Castle.

Sun Xiaoman hurriedly walked into his mother's room.

Since the end of the first battle of Yuhengfeng, Dou Yuemei has locked herself in the room and not come out, and the affairs of the city have been handled by Sun Xiaoman, even the new dean of the Sanshan City Daoist Academy, she has not come forward.

This is the first time in a few days that I am willing to meet someone.

“...... Mother. Seeing Dou Yuemei's first glance, Sun Xiaoman's heart trembled.

So haggard and tired, is that still her mother?

"Xiaoman. Dou Yuemei looked at her daughter, and there was finally a trace of blood on her pale face: "How is it in the city?"

"It's all fine, almost. Sun Xiaoman didn't dare to say that since Yuhengfeng returned from the battle without success, several Daoist Academy disciples with good talents have been transferred to other cities, saying that there is no hope here.

Although there are not many such people, it can be regarded as an aggravation of the situation for the withering Sanshan City.

"That's good. Dou Yuemei didn't seem to care much about this answer, and asked, "How about a smile?"

"I still locked myself in my room, saying that I don't want to pay attention to you anymore. ”

Dou Yuemei sighed, and said a little wistfully: "It seems that I am really angry this time." ”

"It's okay, I'll forget about it after a while. ”

Sun Xiaoman's eyes were a little tired, and she tried not to let her mother see it.

Dealing with the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion is not what she is good at, but Sun Xiaoyan is not in charge, and her mother is so low that she is depressed all day long. She could only reluctantly embarrass herself.

For her, she would rather carry a sledgehammer against hundreds of masters than bury herself in the case.

"I've figured it out these days. Dou Yuemei perked up slightly, and sighed: "Sanshan City still has to hold on, and your brother's cultivation can't be wasted." The most important thing is that my mother can't delay you anymore. ”

Sun Xiaoman raised his eyes and looked at her: "Mother......"

"Go find your master!" Dou Yuemei sighed: "This world is not what your father thinks, everything he does is meaningless. This world is not the world of reason, but the world of the strong. ”

It's unimaginable. As a woman who takes her husband as her spiritual pillar and has absolute confidence in him. How desperate it must be to say such a thing. will deny her husband's efforts.

Sun Xiaoman felt that what her mother said was not correct, but she didn't know how to refute it.

"Your master is very strong, but my mother still insisted on keeping you by my side back then, because my mother was conceited and would not lose to him one day. If you live with your mother, it won't affect your cultivation. ”

Dou Yue's eyebrows were a little low: "Now...... Mother will never be able to surpass him. ”

At that time, Dou Yuemei sat in front of the dressing mirror where she often sits, just sitting with her back to the mirror. The sunlight shone through the panes, hitting her haggard face, and she looked even paler.

Sun Xiaoman simply sat cross-legged, the silver hammer swaying on his wrist, using his hand as a pillow, and leaning his head on his mother's lap.

Dou Yuemei stroked her sideburns and continued: "Pure martial arts cultivation, there is no complete path yet. So the path of Takeo is very difficult to walk. Your master is only one of the explorers. A lot of times you have to rely on yourself and think more. ”

"Hmm. Sun Xiaoman's voice was soft.

"You are talented, and it was a flat time for you before the Twelve Heavens, so I won't talk about the cultivators before the Neifu Realm. ”

Dou Yuemei took out a booklet, which was so thin that it was only a few pages: "This is a little bit of experience for my mother to explore the seeds of supernatural powers, you take it." The road is the same, and it may be of some help to you. ”

Seeing that Sun Xiaoman accepted it, she continued to sigh: "The martial artist stepping on the thirty-three heavens is only an imagination so far, and no one has ever been perfected. I wonder where my daughter will go?"

Sun Xiaoman raised one hand high, and the small silver hammer swayed: "Go to the highest place!"

Dou Yuemei smiled, she stretched out her fingers and scratched her daughter's nose: "Go, go." ”

Sun Xiaoman stood up and stepped barefoot on the ground: "Mother, then I'm leaving?"

Dou Yuemei smiled with tears: "Let's go." ”

Sun Xiaoman suddenly smiled slyly: "Before leaving, I will help you educate Sun Xiaoyan!"

Seeing that Dou Yuemei opened her mouth to stop, she rushed and said, "Mother, you listen to me." It's okay to beat the child, it's good for the body and mind. Don't be reluctant. Daddy is gone, and the past stops in the past. But there's still a long way to go!"

She jumped two steps, suddenly turned around, and blinked: "I look at my master, he is very interesting to you!"

"Go, go, go, you know!"

The daughter is gone, and she goes to beat her son.

Dou Yuemei inexplicably felt relieved, and she threw this strange thought out of her mind.

Turn around and look at the vanity mirror.

In the mirror, there is a face that has not been powdered, although it is haggard, but it still shows a beautiful outline.

She stretched out her hand, stroked her face gently, and sighed faintly: "Dead ghost, you died so early, do you think it's not worth it......?"

......

Jiang Wang is certainly no stranger to Song Qifang, the deputy court, and there is no lack of respect. Dong A was demoted to Fenglin City, but it was only a matter of the past few years, and before that, the Daoist Academy of Fenglin City had always been in charge of Song Qifang.

Of course, due to his own strength and vision, the Maple Forest City Daoist Academy has always been weak under his leadership.

Now Dong A is in charge of the main courtyard, and Song Qifang, as the vice president, is concentrating on alchemy and deduction in addition to teaching. It can also be regarded as a clear division of labor, and each has its own use.

Because he does not fight or grab, he is amiable, and has always been very respected by his disciples.

It's just that Jiang Wang really couldn't imagine why Song Qifang suddenly looked for him.

"Dean Song. Jiang Wang walked into the Danfang and saluted respectfully: "Do you have something to look for me?"

The white-haired Song Qifang turned back from the Dan furnace, looked at Jiang Wang, and smiled kindly: "Jiang Wang, how is your cultivation lately?

"The Rauson Temple bothered. Jiang Wang was flattered: "The teaching and learning are very responsible, and the disciples' cultivation is still very shallow, and the problems are very rudimentary, and sometimes the senior brothers help solve them." There are no particular problems yet. ”

Song Qifang nodded with satisfaction: "You are one of the best disciples in the City Dao Academy, and the old man is at ease with you." ”

"There are so many masters in the Taoist Academy, and the disciples are ashamed. ”

"The old man has heard about your affairs in Wangjiang City," Song Qifang turned his head to look at the heat in the Dan furnace before continuing: "Your performance is very outstanding. However, there are some things that we still need to pay attention to. We are separated from Wangjiang City, and we really don't have to be so stiff. ”

No matter what happened, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, the behavior of buttoning his hat when he opened his mouth was really unpleasant to Jiang Wang.

But his face was silent, and he just said: "Song Academy's teachings are yes." ”

Of course, when it comes to family matters, it's understandable that young people are more impulsive. Song Qifang smiled, fanned the fire, and said as if unintentionally: "I heard that you have a transcendent swordsmanship, which shines in Sanshan City and Wangjiang City?"

"The disciple did get a swordsmanship by chance. Jiang Wang frowned and said, "But this swordsmanship is not as miraculous as others have said." ”

"It's good to be ambitious and not arrogant. Song Qifang paused, then turned around, looked into Jiang Wang's eyes and said, "I don't know if you are willing to contribute this Dao technique to the Dao Academy? Don't worry, Daoxun is definitely overcalculated, and the old man is in charge of you. ”

Zhuangguo Daoyuan does have a tradition of exchanging materials for Daoxun, so that those disciples who are rich in wealth can contribute material resources, which is a good thing for the Daoist Academy and the cultivators themselves. Of course, the exercises are also among them.

But that's purely voluntary.

In other words, if Jiang Wang was willing, he would have changed it a long time ago, and he still had to wait until you Song Qifang spoke?

Sharing it with Zhao Rucheng, Ling He, and Du Yehu is willing. But this does not mean that Jiang Wang loves the world and takes care of the common people. That's not fraternity, it's stupidity.

Therefore, Jiang Wang asked directly: "Is this the meaning of the Dong Yuan?"

Song Qifang's face was a little gloomy: "Thinking about coming to the Fenglin City Dao Academy, what the old man said still has some weight." Even the board of directors will not disrespect the old man's opinion. ”

No wonder the Maple Forest City Daoist Academy was so mediocre in his hands before, this is full of stale taste!

Jiang Wang thought in his heart, and bowed: "So, forgive Jiang Wang's reluctance." ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

His sword hung at his waist.

At this time, he has his own sword-like edge.
