Chapter 29: The Past, the Lies
For those unbearable criticisms, people with poor psychological tolerance are generally afraid that they will either go crazy or go berserk.
However, Ding Jian had long been accustomed to it, smiled faintly, and didn't pay attention to it, he only buried his head in eating.
However, after Ding Ling heard this, her face was unhappy, and she almost couldn't suppress it and rushed out to fight with those people.
Although she knew that her strength was small, she couldn't beat others at all.
But those words were so ugly that she almost lost her mind.
Fortunately, Ding Jian saw that something was wrong, and reached out in time to grab her.
Ding Jian pondered, it's too noisy here, and you can't eat breakfast with peace of mind, although she doesn't care, but the endurance of the righteous sister is too weak, and I'm afraid that she will hold back internal injuries after listening too much.
So, after thinking about it, it would be better to leave earlier.
At that moment, he whispered to his sister-in-law: "Ling'er, these people's mouths are too unclean, and they are indeed a little unappetizing to look at...... It's better for us to finish eating quickly, so that we can leave, and out of sight is clean. β
Ding Ling nodded and responded, "Okay." β
So, the two of them sped up their meals.
It didn't take much effort, so I finished the food in the bowl.
Then they got up and left without saying a word.
A few minutes later, they returned to their small building.
However, they did not enter the building, but sat down on the stone steps in front of the building.
Then, you said a word, I said, and chatted leisurely.
Before you know it, the scene of a cup of tea has passed.
By this time, the sky was already bright.
The sky was clear and cloudless.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near.
Ding Ling opened her mouth and said, "Brother, it seems that someone is coming towards us." β
Ding Jian smiled faintly and said, "Well, I also heard it, if it is not bad as I expected, it should be that the Great Elder sent someone to inform me." β
Ding Ling tapped her little head and said, "It should be." β
Soon, a figure appeared in their sight.
It was a stocky boy with a smiling expression on his face.
Ding Jian glanced at the person and muttered: "It turned out to be Ding Xiao, this kid, last time, I slapped him and was bitten by Dabai, I thought he wouldn't have the courage to set foot here in the future, I didn't think he would dare to come." β
Ding Ling echoed: "Giggles, maybe he forgot the pain when he got better about his scars." β
The words of the brother and sister naturally drifted into Ding Xiao's ears, and as soon as he heard it, the look on his face immediately sank, and he looked like he wanted to eat people.
He gritted his teeth hatefully, took three steps and made two steps, and came to the small building like a gust of wind, and stopped about seven steps away from Ding Jian.
Ding Jian glanced at each other up and down, and said sarcastically: "Ding Xiao, the injury on your buttocks is healing quite quickly, and you don't walk lame at all." β
Ding Xiao saw the other party's ruthless teasing, and at that moment, he really wanted to pounce and fight with the other party first.
However, he also knew in his heart that he had a few pounds and a few taels, and he thought that he was not the opponent of the other party, so he had to endure it.
He snorted coldly and said, "Ding Jian, you should be proud first." After today, after Brother Chong abolished you, at that time, see how I clean you up. β
Ding Jian laughed and said, "Why, are you so sure that Ding Chong will win me?"
Ding Xiao said noncommittally: "Ding Jian, do you think that a mere martial artist can win a warrior-level innate martial artist?"
Ding Jian laughed again and said, "Ding Xiao, then you just wait and see, then I will let you understand what is called the truth that you can't judge people." After a moment's notice, he added, "Okay." Ding Xiao, I'm too lazy to talk to a small character like you. Say, when you came here this time, the Great Elder must have asked you to come over and inform me when I will be on the stage of life and death, right?"
Ding Xiao snorted coldly and said, "That's right, the Great Elder ordered me to come and tell you that the battle for the prince will start at noon, I hope you must show up on time, but don't be so scared that you can't shrink back, then you will be laughing and generous." β
Ding Jian said: "Will the fight start at noon?" Okay, I already know, please go back." β
Ding Xiao didn't move, and said, "Don't worry, I still have something to tell you." β
Ding Jian sighed and said, "If there's anything else, you can say it." β
Ding said with a smile: "The Great Elder let me tell you, three days ago, in front of the door of the Hundred Swords Room, the sword you snatched from the hands of the black and white Shuangying, its owner is Brother Chong's fiancΓ©e, that is, Long Xiaoman, the second lady of Longjiabao, the Great Elder hopes that you will also bring the sword, and then make a good payment, apologize, and return it to its original owner." Otherwise, you should know that the consequences are serious. β
Ding Jian couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Hmm, that flying flower sword turned out to be the second lady of the Long family? Haha, women's things, I disdain to take them for myself, don't worry, I will naturally return it to her after using it then." β
Ding smiled: "It's good for you to be interested." β
Ding Jian said: "Ding Xiao, do you have anything else to say?"
Ding smiled: "No, just these two things." β
Ding Jian waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can leave." β
Ding Xiao snorted coldly, didn't say anything, turned around, and walked away quickly.
Soon, he was gone.
Ding Ling said at this time: "Brother, he said that you snatched the sword of the second lady of the Long family, what is going on, can you tell me?"
Ding Jian thought for a while and said, "Are you interested in listening to it, okay, then let's talk to you......"
So, he told the scene that happened in front of the door of the Hundred Swords Room three days ago.
Originally, what happened at that time was not complicated, and if you put it in general, it was nothing more than a dozen sentences.
However, Ding Jian felt that it was still early at noon, so in order to pass the time and amuse his sister-in-law, he told the story without letting go of any small details.
Ding Ling listened attentively.
After about half an hour, the past was finished.
After hearing this, Ding Ling suddenly had a question, and couldn't help but speak: "By the way, brother, haven't you always concentrated on cultivating the giant spirit that your father passed on to you, why did you suddenly change to learn swordsmanship, was it taught to you by a certain master outside the world?"
Ding Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "This...... Yes, when I was cultivating in the Green Pothos Mountain, I met a master from outside the world, and he told me that I was a sword wizard who could inherit one of his peerless swordsmanship, and I thought about it at the time, and it was not bad to have one more swordsmanship, so I agreed, so in the past few days, I have been practicing outside and not returning, in fact, I am practicing a swordsmanship. β
Actually, he didn't want to lie to his sister-in-law.
It's just that this matter is related to the Nine Swords Lord, and it involves a lot, and he can't explain it clearly for a while, so he simply hides the past, and plans to confess it when there is a suitable time in the future.
On the other hand, his stepsister is a very simple little girl, and he doesn't want her to know too many miscellaneous things.
Because, he knows very well that if a person has too many things in his heart, he often can't be happy.
His stepsister was already in very bad health, and if she was in a bad mood, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And he didn't want to lose his only relative.
So, sometimes, he also had to tell some white lies.
