When Tian Zhiyu saw the old man the next day, he originally wanted to tell him about his underwater experience yesterday.

But the old man didn't seem interested, and before he could speak, he had already set up his sword.

After these days of training and beating, Tian Zhiyu fell less and less, and the injuries on his body became fewer and fewer.

"There is progress," after the two put away their swords, the old man nodded and said to him, "At this rate, I may not be able to defeat you by the end of this month." ”

Tian Zhiyu saw that he was about to turn around and leave after he finished speaking, and immediately held him in his mouth.

The old man turned around and said, "What else is the matter?"

Tian Zhiyu said: "Old man, can you use internal force, let's make a move?"

The old man smiled and said, "What's the matter, your internal strength has returned?"

Tian Zhiyu shook his head and said: "I haven't come back completely, I think maybe under the suppression of your internal force, I may be able to force out a little bit of internal force." ”

The old man thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, then you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Tian Zhiyu nodded, held the sword in both hands again, and swung it towards the old man.

When he awoke again, he opened his eyes and saw that the sun had risen in the middle of the sky, and the old man and his apprentice in disguised as a man were long gone.

He felt sore, the corners of his mouth seemed to smell blood, and he struggled to stand up and said softly: "This old pervert is really heavy. ”

He moved his limbs, but fortunately he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and said, "These two guys are really ruthless." After knocking me unconscious, he just left, and he was not afraid that I would be washed into the river. ”

He sat down, trying to find the true qi in his body, but there was still not a trace of it, and he sighed and said: "For the sake of encountering a strong enemy, the true qi will not automatically come out to protect itself, is it possible that it can only be done in the water?"

When his strength was almost recovered, Tian Zhiyu picked up the sword and swam back, and after going back, he went to the pond to find a feeling.

Today, as yesterday, when he swam for a while, the warm current soon appeared.

When he ran it a few times, that mysterious feeling also appeared.

But when he went ashore, it was all gone.

When he returned to the house, he found another person waiting for him in the house.

This time, Tian Zhiyu didn't know this person, and he hadn't seen it.

He was wearing a gray robe, carrying a long sword, and his appearance was still a little handsome, looking at Tian Zhiyu with a smile.

Don't you need to say hello in advance when you enter someone's house?

This person looks quite kind, not murderous, he shouldn't have come to kill himself.

"This brother, do you want money or death?" Tian Zhiyu asked.

At the same time, he thought to himself that if this guy made a move for a while, he would run into the water to see if he dared to come down.

This handsome young man didn't make a move, let alone want to kill him, he said with a smile: "Are you Tian Zhiyu?"

Tian Zhiyu deliberately looked around, and replied with a smile: "I can say no?"

The man then smiled and said: "Brother Tian is quite humorous, hello, my name is Bai Jingting, I am a disciple of the Jiangnan Sword Society, I take the liberty to disturb, and I hope Brother Tian will forgive me." ”

It turned out to be Wu Qingshan's apprentice, and Tian Zhiyu suddenly put his mind at ease.

In fact, he had already guessed that the old man who accompanied him to practice swords every day was the head of the Jiangnan Sword Society, Wu Qingshan, a master of the Tiger List.

But the old man never said it, and he didn't ask.

And he also guessed that the person who saved him at the moment of crisis that night was also a member of the Jiangnan Sword Society, but that person was much younger than Wu Qingshan, and he should be his senior apprentice.

Tian Zhiyu saw Bai Jingting bow to him, and also returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai came so late, is there something wrong with me?"

Bai Jingting said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing else, it's just that my junior sister often talks about you, saying that your swordsmanship is extremely exquisite, and you are much higher than your peers in our Sword Society, so a few of our senior brothers discussed and found someone to come and compete with you." Everyone finally voted by a show of hands, and they thought I was more suitable, so I came. ”

"Senior sister?" Tian Zhiyu guessed that it was the girl who was dressed as a man.

Sure enough, Bai Jingting said: "I accompany my master to practice swords every morning." However, she likes to wear men's clothes on weekdays, which may have misunderstood Brother Tian. ”

Tian Zhiyu wanted to laugh in his heart, thinking that I still can't recognize a woman dressed as a man?

"I said, I think she looks so delicate, and I think a boy looks so good," Tian Zhiyu deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Bai Jingting didn't care, he looked at Tian Zhiyu and said: "Senior sister said that you were beaten badly when you first fought with the master, but after only half a month, you have been able to hold on to hundreds of moves under the master without being defeated, we don't believe it, so I want to talk to you." ”

Tian Zhiyu thought to himself, I'm afraid that your junior sister will praise me, and you junior brothers are jealous, so you found someone to test me, or teach me a lesson?

"Your junior sister is exaggerating, I am still beaten by your master every day, and I was knocked out by him this morning, and I only woke up at noon. Tian Zhiyu didn't really want to fight him, so he quickly explained.

Bai Jingting said disapprerovitously: "If my master doesn't show mercy to his subordinates, none of our senior brothers of the same generation can survive twenty moves, and my sister said that you can hold out a hundred moves, even if it is exaggerated, it also shows that you are still very powerful." Brother Tian, don't refuse, let's have a little discussion. ”

"Then you came this time, does your master know?" Tian Zhiyu asked.

Bai Jingting hurriedly shook his head and said with an embarrassed expression: "My master will definitely not let us come, so I also hope that Brother Tian can keep it secret and don't tell Master about this." ”

Tian Zhiyu said with a smile: "Then you better go back quickly, otherwise I will tell your master tomorrow morning, and he will definitely trouble you when he goes back." ”

Bai Jingting's face changed slightly, looking a little unhappy, and said: "Brother Tian, this is not righteous enough, our senior brother saved your life, and my master and sister accompany you to practice swords every day, I just want to have a discussion with you, why are you so secretive?"

Tian Zhiyu hurriedly explained: "Absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing, it's just that I have a competition with Lingshi, and it's just a contest in moves." It's just that I have no internal strength now, and I definitely can't beat you when I fight you now. ”

When Bai Jingting heard this, he said, "Then let's only use moves to fight, and I don't need internal strength, so it's always okay, right?"

Tian Zhiyu smiled bitterly, knowing that if he didn't make a few moves with him today, this guy would not be convinced.

"Okay, but there are a lot of people in this house, so let's choose another place. ”

Bai Jingting nodded and said, "Okay, you choose a place." ”

The two came to the open area in front of Tian Zhiyu's wooden house, Bai Jingting took off the sword behind his back and saluted Tian Zhiyu again, and Tian Zhiyu also returned the salute.

As soon as the two of them exchanged hands, Tian Zhiyu felt that he was far from his opponent, and he might be much weaker than his junior sister.

It turns out that not all the subordinates of the Jiangnan Sword Society are masters, Tian Zhiyu thought.

In order to keep Bai Jingting from losing too ugly, Tian Zhiyu only used five points of strength, and he was still at ease, but Bai Jingting became more and more difficult.

When Wu Qingshan made a move with him, it was probably how he felt now, Tian Zhiyu thought.

After forty or fifty moves, Tian Zhiyu deliberately sold a flaw, and when Bai Jingting wanted to seize the flaw to attack, Tian Zhiyu swung his sword with one move, and Bai Jingting also fell to the ground.

He was not frustrated or sad, and after getting up, he still smiled and said: "Brother Tian is really exquisite in swordsmanship, it seems that the junior sister is indeed not exaggerating, Jing Ting is convinced." ”

Tian Zhiyu hurriedly said: "Where, where, win a fluke in the next." ”

Bai Jingting is not a hypocritical person, he smiled: "If you lose, you lose, my master has always said that you must always maintain a learning attitude towards masters, so that you can make progress, and this is the case with Brother Tian." Jingting benefited a lot today, and he came to Brother Tian another day to make a move. ”

Tian Zhiyu saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly called out to him.

"Brother Tian, is there anything else?" Bai Jingting asked.

Tian Zhiyu said: "Actually, I have a daily conversation with your master, but I don't talk much, and I always have a question in my heart that I want to say, but I have never had a chance." ”

"Oh, Brother Tian, what's the question?"

"I want to know who the hero who saved me that night? I can thank people when we meet in the future," Tian Zhiyu said.

Bai Jingting smiled and said: "That night was our senior brother, his name is Meng Huansheng, he is the oldest among all our senior brothers, and he also has the best kung fu. ”

Tian Zhiyu wrote down the name, and then asked, "I still want to know, why did Senior Brother Meng appear there that night?

Bai Jingting put away his smile and said softly: "I don't know this specific situation, I'm afraid that only you will ask my master in person." ”

Tian Zhiyu nodded, and then asked, "Then what is the name of your junior sister?"

Hearing this question, Bai Jingting immediately looked at Tian Zhiyu with a vigilant face, frowned and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Tian Zhiyu said with a smile: "She accompanies me with your master to practice swords every day, and it seems very rude if I don't even know people's names." ”

Bai Jingting thought for a while and said, "Senior sister's name is Leng Jingqiu, but don't say that I told you, otherwise she will know that I have come to look for you." ”

Watching Bai Jingting disappear into the night, Tian Zhiyu thought to himself: I'm afraid that several of their junior brothers are a little interesting to this junior sister, or they won't disobey the teacher's order to come to him.

I just don't know what the specific strength of this Leng Jingqiu is, so I will find time to make a move with her.

However, she can accompany Wu Qingshan to practice swords every day, and she should not be weak in kung fu.

The clouds were light and the wind was light, and the early summer night was beautiful.

Tian Zhiyu walked into the wooden house, saw the neatly stacked bedding, and remembered that he and Lu Wenshu had a few degrees of spring breeze here, and couldn't help but miss it very much.

If you can raise eyebrows with her every day in the future, what a beautiful life it will be.

There are also Feng Jingnan and Su Yijin, with such three confidants, at least the days in the rivers and lakes will not be too boring in the future.

Thinking of his confidante, he suddenly thought of the warm moon again.

During this time, Tian Zhiyu deliberately let herself not think about her, and even wanted to forget her, but she was like a thorn lurking in her heart, always stabbing herself intentionally or unintentionally.

Why did you choose to leave? Tian Zhiyu thought.

Some time ago, he also restrained himself from thinking about this problem, and with the company of Lu Wenshu and Feng Jingnan, Tian Zhiyu temporarily forgot about his past with Nuan Yue.

Now when I am alone, this question comes to mind again.

Is it really the same as what Lu Wenshu said, do you have a last resort?

But your family has given me such secrets, so why should you give up on me?

Your family's status in the sparse, I'm afraid that except for the emperor, no one can put pressure on you anymore, right?

Could it be that the emperor wants to marry you to his son?

He wanted to use Nuan Yue's character, even if the emperor really thought so, she would have the courage to refuse, unless the royal family really wanted to completely fall out with the Jiang family.

Shu that emperor Yang Chongzhi, shouldn't have the courage?

Tian Zhiyu thought again, should I write a letter to Luo Qi or Ma Bencai to ask? They should always know the truth.

But he soon dismissed the idea.

Tian Zhiyu is not the kind of person who stalks and fights, and he has an indifferent attitude towards the coming and going of anyone and everything.

Whatever the reason, since Nuan Yue decided to give up, Tian Zhiyu would set her free.

Even if he loved her again.
