Meng Ran returned to the front yard room, the people had prepared the hot water, and when the water level in the wooden barrel was just right, Geng Huyuan slowly threw a large bag of herbs into it.

After doing all this, Geng Huyuan instructed Meng Ran, who was in rags: "The temperature is just right at the moment, you take a good soak, don't let the effect of the medicine pass." ”

Meng Ran looked at the steaming wooden barrel with the aroma of herbs, and said dumbfoundedly: "Uncle Geng, is this water too hot?

Geng Huyuan laughed and said, "I didn't mean to fix you on purpose, this medicinal bath needs this kind of temperature to be able to work better." As for believing or not believing, that's your business. ”

After finishing speaking, Geng Huyuan walked out of the house with both hands, leaving only the maid with a strange smile on his face and Meng Ran, who was embarrassed and had no choice.

Green Screen secretly laughed a few times, turned around and closed the door, and then said to Meng Ran: "Young Master, you better listen to Mr. Geng's words, take advantage of the right water temperature, take a good soak, so that you can absorb the medicine and help the body recover, otherwise, the bruises on your body will stay for a long time." ”

Meng Ran sighed, and then asked very curiously: "Green screen, you still know how to take medicinal baths?"

Green Screen's expression suddenly became a little flustered, and he said: "The slave has only heard people mention it, and I don't understand it very well, I only know the general requirements and trial of the medicinal bath, and I don't know anything else." ”

After Meng Ran heard this very distracting explanation, he didn't pursue it any further, after all, he was about to leave, there was no need to find out everything in the mansion to the bottom of everything, and let the things hidden behind the appearance of things continue to hide, after all, it was harmless, it should be regarded as a joke.

Meng Ran thought for a while, and then instructed the maid: "Give me wide clothes, take advantage of the right temperature of the water, and soak in it." ”

After the maid took off Meng Ran's clothes, Meng Ran grinned and sat into the water, with a painful expression on her face, which made the green screen laugh.

After the green screen finished laughing, he looked at Meng Ran's body very distressedly, and saw that the rather strong chest and majestic back were covered with scars of different sizes.

After the distress, Lu Ping stretched out his delicate fingers, gently stroked Meng Ran's skin, and asked with concern: "Young Master, what's going on on your body, why are there so many injuries?"

Meng Ran smiled and said, "It's okay, it's all the marks left when I was training with my seniors, it's good to take a soak, how can a manly man not endure hardship." ”

Somehow, the tears of the green screen were already flowing out, dripping on the surface of the water like pearls, splashing with water.

After Meng Ran saw the tears, he was very puzzled, and asked softly: "Green Screen, do you have something on your mind? Why did you cry in a good manner? Did anyone in the house bully you?"

When Green Screen heard such a sincere greeting, her heart was even more sour, she sniffed lightly a few times, and said in a muffled voice: "The slave doesn't have anything on her mind, and no one bullies me, I just think that you are too hard, young master." ”

Meng Ran waved his hand and said very heartily: "What kind of hard work am I, what is really hard is you, you have to work in the house every day, but I am just busy with some things that I think I should be busy with, and it is not as hard as you imagined." ”

The green screen was amused by Meng Ran's statement, and said softly: "The young master is really interesting, if you don't do it with a good family member, you have to practice martial arts." ”

Meng Ran just smiled lightly, and did not explain the reason and the deep meaning behind it, after all, the green screen is just a maid, and there is no need to say some important words to her, otherwise it will hurt her.

After Meng Ran soaked in the water for a while, he felt that something was stimulating his skin, meridians, and acupuncture points, and the wisps of gas flowed on the surface of the skin, and there was a feeling of sour and numbness, and those swollen and bruised parts were a little stinging, which was very comfortable.

After a while, Meng Ran actually groaned very comfortably in the water, and the cheeks of the maid on the side were red.

The green screen gently pushed Meng Ran, and said coquettishly: "Young master, what are you doing?"

Meng Ran scooped a scoop of water with his hand, splashed it on the maid on the side, and said with a smile: "This medicinal bath is very comfortable to soak, do you want to try it too?"

The green screen dodged slightly, took a sip into the air, and scolded with a smile: "Who did the young master learn from, and how did he become so frivolous?"

Meng Ran smiled and said very scoundrelly, "Don't you like it?"

The roots of Green Screen's ears turned red all of a sudden, smashed the face towel in his hand into the bucket, twisted his waist and ran out of the house.

Meng Ran smiled at the maid's back, and then showed a strange expression.

......

In the hall in the front yard, Li Haoran and Geng Huyuan sat on the chair on the left, the swordsman surnamed Lin stood in the corner, the two brothers Hua Rong and Lin Chong stood side by side, and the chair behind him sat a person with a bad hand and foot who was not good at the flower road.

After raising his eyes and glancing at the three people in front of him, Geng Huyuan just quietly drank the hot tea in his hand, without saying a word.

Li Haoran coughed lightly and asked the two brothers standing side by side, "What do you two mean? stay in Mengfu or leave by yourself?"

Hua Rong hugged his fists and said: "The junior is willing to gamble and lose, and is willing to stay by Meng Gongzi's side, just begging the senior to intercede for my brother and let him leave." ”

Li Haoran glanced at Lin Chong and asked, "Do you mean the same thing?"

Lin Chong stiffened his neck and sneered: "I, Lin Chong, am a dignified man, how can I repay my debts? I am willing to stay in the Meng Mansion for drive." ”

Li Haoran waved his hand, motioned for the two brothers to step back, and commanded: "Then you will live in the ear room in the front yard, opposite the porter Lao Han, and when the house in the main courtyard is repaired in the future, you will move to the wing room." ”

Hua Rong and Lin Chong both clasped their fists and saluted, and then hurriedly exited the hall, leaving the space for the rest of the people.

After the maid Chunhua arranged the two brothers, the front yard returned to its original peace.

After the doors were closed, Li Haoran looked at Pinhua Daoist with a smile and asked, "What about you two who chose to stay?"

Pinhuadao's mouth opened a few times, and finally said slowly: "If the seniors don't dislike it, the juniors are willing to stay." ”

Li Haoran smiled and asked very disdainfully: "What's the use of you staying as a half-ruined wasted person? What can you do? Besides, why do I have to keep you?"

Pinhua Daoren raised his eyebrows, and there was a faint evil aura in the peach blossom eyes, and he said in a flat tone: "Although the juniors are damaged in the meridians of their hands and feet, fortunately, the rescue is timely and does not affect future actions, so it can naturally come in handy, please take it in from the seniors." ”

In the end, Pinhua Daoren stood up with his body propped up, bowed deeply to Li Haoran, and said earnestly again: "Please take in the seniors, the juniors are grateful." ”

Li Haoran wanted to say something strange to stimulate the people of Pinhuadao, but he was stopped by Geng Huyuan, who was drinking tea on the side.

Geng Huyuan gently put down the teacup in his hand, and said softly to the Pinhuadao people: "It's not impossible to leave you, but there is one condition." ”

Pinhua Daoren looked sideways at Geng Huyuan slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Please say to the seniors, if the juniors can do it, they will definitely do it, if they can't do it, they will leave and will not disturb the daily life of the Meng Mansion again." ”

Geng Huyuan smiled and said softly: "Actually, the matter is very simple, Brother Li wants to take you as an apprentice, but he has not been able to pull you down, now since you are willing to return to the Meng Mansion and are willing to stay, then I think it is not difficult for you to worship him as a teacher, what do you think?"

Pinhua Daoren looked at Li Haoran with a strange expression, and then knelt on the ground without thinking about it, and shouted to Li Haoran: "Apprentice to meet the master." ”

The other three people in the hall were all shocked by the crispness and neatness of the Pinhuadao people, and they all looked at the kneeling figure in disbelief.

It was Geng Huyuan who came back to his senses first, and knocked on the table a few times before Li Haoran suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the figure in front of him with a relieved face.

The swordsman surnamed Lin, who was standing in the corner, took a few steps forward and handed the teacup on the table to the kneeling Pinhua Daoist, signaling him to hurry up and serve the tea to the master.

After the end of the secular ceremony, Li Haoran personally helped the people of Pinhuadao and began the first admonition after accepting the apprentices.

I saw Li Haoran's face solemn, without the lazy scoundrel appearance of before, and said very solemnly: "Since you have entered my Divine Sword Gate, then you will have nothing to do with everything in the past, and in the future, you will be able to practice well and strengthen the prestige of my Divine Sword Sect, it is possible?"

Pinhua Daoist knelt down again, kowtowed three times very respectfully, and said seriously: "The disciple must remember that he takes the Glory Divine Sword Gate as his own responsibility, and he will never give up." ”

After the Pinhua Daoist got up, Li Haoran sighed, and looked at the outstanding-looking disciple in front of him with a look of relief, with a slight tear in his eyes.

Geng Huyuan on the side laughed, and congratulated Li Haoran: "Congratulations to Brother Li for receiving a good apprentice, but I don't have anything to do, so I will make the decision for Meng Ran and send a copy of the sword book to your Divine Sword Gate, I just hope that you can really carry forward the Heavenly Sword Technique and make the Divine Sword Gate famous all over the world." ”

Although the people of Pinhua Dao didn't know what the Lao Shizi Heavenly Sword Technique was, they felt that it was a very powerful thing when they heard the name, and they immediately hurriedly thanked Geng Huyuan.

As for the swordsman surnamed Lin, who has a very low sense of existence, he said very shabbyly: "I don't have anything to give to Brother Pinhua, so I can only talk more about my own sword experience with you before I leave Jiaxing." ”

After Pinhuadao thanked him, he said with a relaxed expression: "There is no need to be too anxious at this time, there is time." ”

Li Haoran coughed lightly and said, "This matter is imminent. They left Jiaxing and continued north, while you and I continued to stay here. ”

Pinhua Daoist was very puzzled and asked, "Master, why? Do you have anything important to do in Jiaxing?"

Li Haoran sighed slightly, and said softly: "My limit is approaching, if my martial arts cultivation can't go further, then there will be no more years, I want to take advantage of this time to retreat and cultivate in Jiaxing, and take this opportunity to go to the next level." ”

Pinhuadao didn't say anything else, just nodded solemnly.
