A few days later, Han Yuli finally brought the news of Si Yijian's exit, and took Bai Yinyun and Murong Ye to the peak of Si Jian Peak.

The road in the upper part of Si Jianfeng became steep and narrow, and it could even be called dangerous in some places, but it was nothing to Bai Yinyun and Murong Ye.

On a platform some distance from the peak, a weather-beaten wooden house stood alone, which was Si Yijian's residence.

When the three of Murong Ye came to the wooden house, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old standing at the door of the wooden house arched his hand to them and said, "Master, please ask Mrs. Murong to go in alone." ”

The young man also carried the sheathed long sword behind his back, just like Han Yuliang.

After the young man finished speaking, he smiled kindly at Murong Ye and the others, and entered the wooden house by himself. Han Yuli didn't move, and stood in place without saying a word, accompanying Murong Ye.

Bai Yinyun nodded to Murong Ye and followed up with the wooden house.

The furnishings in the wooden house are simple, just a table, four chairs, a bed, and a bookcase.

Bai Yinyun saw at a glance a middle-aged man with a majestic bearing sitting on the main seat looking at her calmly, and the young man who came in first was already standing beside the majestic man.

Obviously, this majestic man is Si Yijian.

Bai Yinyun quickly glanced at Si Yijian and found that his image was completely different from what she had imagined.

Si Yijian is Mrs. Tai's eldest brother, in fact, he is over seventy years old, but he is full of black hair, handsome, without a trace of old age, and looks more like a middle-aged man in his forties.

Sure enough, Si Yijian also carried the sheathed long sword behind his back. This way of sabering should be the tradition of Si Jianfeng.

Bai Yinyun respectfully saluted Si Yijian and said, "Junior Bai Yinyun, I have seen my seniors." ”

Si Yijian nodded lightly and said, "No need to be polite, sit down!"

"Thank you, senior. ”

Bai Yinyun thanked him again before sitting down on the chair opposite Si Yijian.

The young man next to Si Yijian poured a cup of hot tea for Bai Yinyun, Bai Yinyun nodded to the young man to express his gratitude, but suddenly felt that the young man became more familiar the more he looked at it, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Bai Yinyun couldn't remember for a while why she saw that this young man was familiar, so she withdrew her thoughts and didn't think about it anymore, she was now all focused on Murong Ye's apprenticeship.

Si Yijian didn't speak, but looked at the two letters on the table with some distraction. Bai Yinyun followed Si Yijian's gaze to the table, and found that the two envelopes read "Senior Brother Personally Opened", which were the two letters she brought.

The moment she saw these two letters, Bai Yinyun chuckled in her heart, and secretly said that it was not good. Because, she found that these two letters were unopened. In other words, Si Yijian did not read the contents of the two letters.

Si Yijian didn't even want to read the letter?

Bai Yinyun couldn't help but have a bad speculation in her heart, and her mind couldn't help but be a little confused. She calmed down slightly, but she was still a little nervous when she spoke.

"Seniors, the younger husband is fighting on the battlefield, and my father is in the imperial capital Dongfang City to coordinate the imperial soldiers and horses for His Majesty, and both of them can't get out, so I have to come to visit the younger generation for my father and husband, and I ask my seniors to forgive me. ”

Although the Dongzhou Continent is not as inferior to men as it was in ancient times, the status of women is still lower than that of men. Moreover, Murong Yun and Murong Xuanran are both famous generals of the Eastern Empire, and having them come in person is naturally better than Bai Yinyun coming alone, so it seems that the Murong family attaches more importance to this matter.

However, as Bai Yinyun said, Murong Yun and Murong Xuanran couldn't pull away, so they could only arrange for other people to come.

According to Murong Yun's original intention, he wanted Murong to come forward safely, but Bai Yinyun made up his mind to ask Bai Wuji to also write a letter of recommendation, so he insisted on inviting Ying to come.

Later, just in time for Murong Anran to be appointed as the chief envoy to lead the delegation to the White Eagle Empire, Murong Yun finally decided to let Bai Yinyun bring Murong Ye to Si Jianfeng alone.

Si Yijian smiled indifferently at Bai Yinyun and said, "It's okay. ”

Bai Yinyun saw that Si Yijian still didn't take the initiative to get to the point, so he had to stand up and bow his hand: "I also ask my predecessors to accept Xiao'er Murong Ye as an apprentice and teach him the way of the sword." ”

"The Murong family has been practicing guns for generations, but Murong Yun is so courageous, he is willing to let the only male of the three generations of the Murong family practice swords with me. ”

Si Yijian waved his hand and motioned for Bai Yinyun to sit down. His tone was still flat, not angry, and he couldn't hear what was going on in his heart.

Bai Yinyun was a little unsure of Si Yijian's attitude, so he could only sit down first. She thought about it quickly in her mind, and then said: "The Murong family is a strong enemy, and there are many crises around Xiao'er, and my father is also thinking about Xiao'er's safety, so I ask my seniors to forgive me." ”

Bai Yinyun knew that Si Yijian must know the intentions of the Murong family, in this case, it was better to get straight to the point.

Si Yijian looked at the two letters on the table again, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a slight smile.

"Whatever the reason, I'm glad I received the letter. ”

Bai Yinyun looked at the two unopened letters, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "The juniors are brave, I don't know why the seniors didn't open the seals?"

The smile on Si Yijian's face grew, and he chuckled: "Because the two letters are empty, there is naturally no need to open them." ”

"Empty?"

Bai Yinyun was shocked, looked at the two letters in disbelief, and regretted that he hadn't read the contents of the two letters in advance.

The news on Si Yijian's face slowly faded away, and he returned to a flat expression.

"If you don't believe me, you can open it and take a look. ”

"It's rude!"

Bai Yinyun was naturally very curious about whether the letter was empty, so after arching his hand to Si Yijian, he opened the two letters in turn.

Sure enough, both letters were empty, not even on stationery.

The reason why Bai Yinyun didn't find the two letters for so many days was because the envelope was too thick and she couldn't see the situation inside the envelope at all.

Bai Yinyun looked at the two empty envelopes, and his face was ugly. She had always thought that since Mrs. Tai and Bai Wuji were willing to write letters, there would be no problem with letters. So, she never suspected that there was something wrong with the letter itself.

However, now there is a situation that Bai Yinyun can't figure out, and both letters are empty.

In fact, if only Bai Wouji's letter is empty, Bai Yinyun can still accept it. After all, she had a grudge against Bai Wuji, and Bai Wuji made sense to do something in the letter.

But why was Mrs. Tai's letter empty?

Mrs. Tai has worked wholeheartedly for the Murong family for decades, and her hard work is obvious to all. She was also very good to Murong Ye, and she had no reason to do anything in the letter.

Bai Yinyun secretly wondered: Did someone change the two letters? Who is it? Who has the opportunity to do it?

may have seen Bai Yinyun's doubts, Si Yijian continued: "Don't worry, they didn't release the letter, there is no problem with these two letters." ”

Bai Yinyun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but the deep puzzlement still pressed on his heart.

"Dare to ask the seniors, why did you know that the letters were empty before they opened the seal?"

Si Yijian picked up the letter with juanxiu handwriting and said with a smile: "When I was young, I had a good impression of my junior sister, but my junior sister just regarded me as an older brother. After my junior sister married into your Murong family, maybe it was to avoid suspicion, or maybe she felt ashamed of me, so she stopped associating with me. Now, when my sister wants me to help, she must not know what else to say, so she simply doesn't say anything. ”

Bai Yinyun nodded clearly, she just knew that Mrs. Tai was Si Yijian's junior sister, but she didn't know that there was such a past between the two.

Si Yijian picked up the letter with rough handwriting again and said, "As for Bai Wuji, he is arrogant by nature and a loner, and he doesn't have the slightest respect for me, a senior brother. I even had an early relationship with him, so we were basically strangers, and naturally he didn't have much to say to me. ”

Bai Yinyun saw that Si Yijian was more easy-going, and slowly became less nervous. She remembered what Bai Wuji said, and asked curiously, "The junior heard Bai Wuji mention that he helped you do something, and then you helped him do something?"

Si Yijian nodded and said, "A few years ago, we did one thing for each other in the form of a transaction. This is our only contact in more than 30 years. ”

Speaking of this, Si Yijian pointed to the young man beside him who had been silent, and said, "Give him a chance to apprentice, which is what I promised Bai Wuji." ”

The young man arched his hand to Bai Yinyun, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Sister Yinyun, I haven't seen you for a long time, I am Jian Li." ”

"Jianli?"

Bai Yinyun was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered why she thought this young man was familiar.

It turned out that this young man named Jian Li turned out to be Bai Jianli, the seventh son of Bai Wuji, that is, the current seventh prince of the White Eagle Empire. When Bai Yinyun was in White Eagle City, he had seen him several times.

"Brother Jianli, it turned out to be you! I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you have become a young man. ”

Bai Yinyun was a little emotional, although she hated Bai Wuji, but for Bai Wuji's children, her cousins and sisters had no gap.

Bai Jianli smiled and nodded at Bai Yinyun, and then stood beside Si Yijian and stopped talking.

Si Yijian continued to speak: "You brought a handwritten letter from your junior sister, and I will not refuse it if it is reasonable." However, your Murong family has an entanglement with the Tibetan Arsenal, and for the sake of other disciples under my sect, he can only be a registered disciple instead of a personal disciple. ”

When Si Yijian said "Registered Disciple", he gestured to Bai Jianli, obviously Bai Jianli was also a registered disciple.

A personal disciple, that is, a descendant disciple, is a disciple who personally teaches martial arts to the master.

Named disciples, who are only nominal disciples, usually may not be able to get the true transmission of the master.

Bai Yinyun naturally knew the difference between the two, and at the same time understood Si Yijian's purpose in doing this.

Murong Ye fought with other forces, as a registered disciple, Si Jianfeng was more of a deterrent, and other disciples might not make a move, but if he wanted to become a personal disciple, everyone in Si Jianfeng's line would be Murong Ye's solid backing.

Si Yijian can provide Murong Ye with the identity of a martial saint disciple, but he can't put the entire Si Jianfeng line on the Murong family's camp. Because of that, it means the possibility of a head-on conflict with the Tibetan Pavilion in the future, which Si Yijian does not want to see.

Based on the same considerations, in order to avoid introducing Si Jianfeng's lineage into the battle for the throne of the White Eagle Empire that Bai Jian Li might participate in, Bai Jian Li was accepted as a registered disciple by Si Yijian.

Before Bai Yinyun left the imperial capital, Murong Yun had actually mentioned this possibility to her, so she was not surprised. This result is also within the degree of acceptance by the Murong family.

Bai Yinyun's only concern was whether Murong Ye could get the same cultivation treatment as a disciple.

However, Bai Yinyun considered the relationship between Mrs. Tai and Si Yijian and Bai Jianli's identity as a registered disciple, so it was difficult to say anything, so she had to arch her hand and say, "Thank you seniors for your mercy." ”
