Chapter 18 The Stuttering Snowy Girl
(Second update! Collection~! By the way, it's time for me to take graduation photos...)
After passing through the 100-foot-wide cold drilling river, Zhang Yan and Ma Chong spent another day crossing a large swamp to a city called Liangyue County.
Along the way, Ma Chong changed his name to Zhang Yan. No matter how Zhang Yan objected, he did not change the title at all.
In the world of swords, if a high-level swordsman wants to, there will be many followers, not students, but miscellaneous roles similar to servants. These followers call their followers adults, which is the most noble and loyal title. And when followers are lucky enough to be taken under the door, it is undoubtedly a supreme honor.
Zhang Yan has no intention of taking apprentices. He has just stepped into the threshold of swordsmanship. How can he teach a student who has mastered swordsmanship? But even so, he still can't stand it when he receives such a follower.
However, unable to resist Ma Chong's almost rogue's persistence, Zhang Yan had to sigh in his heart and shouted with him.
This reminded Zhang Yan of the arrogant Shiluo City. At the time of Qianyuzong, he also insisted on following him. However, compared with the 20-year period of Shiluo City, Ma Chong's decision to follow all his life was more thorough and decisive, and it was no different from selling his own life.
In a word, it is ridiculous to accept a follower in the early days of Jindan.
But in Ma Chong's view, this matter is a great lucky thing, and he doesn't feel ashamed of his dignity as a golden swordsman.
One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, probably.
Liangyue County is one of the 36 counties of Yanhuo Prefecture, which is controlled by Mingxuan Jianfu. This is a dazzlingly prosperous city where swordsmen gather.
Zhang Yan and Ma Chong entered Liang Yuejun on the moonlight. Seeing everything in front of them, Zhang Yan was slightly shocked. In the night sky, the flowing light roared past, and the rivers flowed endlessly, and the colorful dim light shone dazzlingly in the sky. The buildings here are tall and gorgeous, with various charms and forbidden lights looming, and thousands of atmospheres.
As a migrant, Ma Chong naturally came to Liangyue County, but that was 30 years ago. Now, Liangyue County seems to have more monks and more prosperous than before.
Without much memory, Ma Chong took Zhang Yan to a large-scale and luxurious swordsman shop, went straight to the counter in the hall, pointed to the various shining swords in the counter, and said, "Here are various swords with five elements attributes. Do you think you are satisfied?"
Zhang Yan swept nearly a thousand swords in the counter and saw that they were almost all magic weapons. He couldn't help shaking his head and said, "These grades are too low, and the refining techniques are quite rough, which is not good."
Ma Chong was stunned and remembered that when he was practicing martial arts in the Yinghuo Sword Sect, Zhang Yan fought with a spiritual weapon. He curled his mouth and waved to the waitress who had been silently following him and said, "Do you have a spiritual weapon-level sword here?"
The waitress was stunned and raised her head, revealing a pretty melon seed face. Her face was a little excited. She rubbed the corners of her clothes and said, "You... are you... calling me?"
Ma Chong was also stunned. Seeing her cowardly appearance, even worse than her own dullness, he couldn't help laughing, "Of course I called you. Is there anyone else besides you?"
"You...you... I...I..." The waitress blushed and was embarrassed to lower her head. She seemed to be more nervous and spoke intermittently without substance for a long time.
Ma Chong frowned and was about to change another neat waitress. But Zhang Yan, who was beside him, opened his mouth and said, "Go and call your stewmer."
Hearing this, the waitress's face turned pale, like a frightened deer, and hurriedly said, "I... I... really not... really not..."
When she didn't finish speaking, the waitress burst into tears, and her little face was full of chagrin, as if she was so anxious that she had shed tears.
Zhang Yan looked stunned and said quickly, "That's not what I mean. I asked you to call the supervisor to buy precious things. I mean, you can't decide such a thing, you... Do you understand?"
Hearing this, the waitress breathed a sigh of relief happily, wiped away her tears, her little face was as bright as a flower, stopped talking, nodded fiercely, and left.
Ma Chong saw her leave and frowned, "This Mingxuan sword shop is the largest shop in Liangyue County. How can such a waitress be used? It's really torment..."
Zhang Yan shook his head and didn't say anything. When he saw the waitress, he unconsciously remembered Qi Jingtian, the shy little girl.
The waitress's name is Xue Rou. Because she was born in a humble background, she was introverted and not good at words. Later, after the introduction of a distant relative, and her appearance was also quite beautiful, she was attracted by the big housekeeper of the Mingxuan swordsman and was lucky to work here.
Although she has worked for nearly half a year, her performance is the worst of all waitresses. It's not that she doesn't work hard or that she is lazy. It's just because she stumbles a little, talks and always can't express her meaning seriously. The guests think that she doesn't speak well, so naturally they don't want to talk to her.
She is very wronged, but she doesn't want to admit defeat, let alone shed tears in front of others. She wants to cry, and she will also cover herself in the quilt and cry secretly at night, never seen.
But today, she met two strange guests, a dark middle-aged uncle and a handsome teenager, especially the teenager, who exuded a gentle and sunny atmosphere. Even if she was far away, she could clearly feel it.
She has never practiced. She is just an ordinary little girl, but she has a secret that has never been told to others, or a talent. She can feel everyone's breath. No matter how high her cultivation is, she can even feel the kindness and murder in other people's breath.
Just like when she saw the beautiful teenager, Xue Rou felt a sense of warmth without a trace of hostility, so when she heard the teenager call your supervisor, tears flowed down. She felt that she had lost her eyes and felt that the teenager was not as good as she perceived.
But the teenager's explanation made her happy. She was such a simple little girl.
Xue Rou runs to the housekeeper's residence like a cheerful butterfly. As she runs, she says to herself in her heart, "Xuerou, Xuerou, the first time a guest apologizes to explain the reason to you. You have to remember his appearance. If you have the ability in the future, you should also be grateful to him, understand? Hee."
There are more than ten housekeepers in Mingxuan's swordsmen, but there is only one. His name is Qin Yuan, an old man whose beard is gray and his face is as wrinkled as walnut skin.
Such an amazing old man has controlled Mingxuan's swordsmanship for nearly a hundred years. In addition to being a monk in the early days of Jindan, there is another important reason.
Qin Yuan is a disciple of Mingxuan Sword Mansion, one of the six sword mansions in Yanhuo Prefecture.
The whole Liang Yuejun is under the control of Mingxuan Sword Mansion. Who dares to come to Mingxuan Swordsmanship to find trouble? Therefore, Qin Yuan, the position of the big stewid, was very stable, and even raised the eight winds to move.
Xue Rou was taken in by Qin Yuan. If it hadn't been for him, Xue Rou would have been coaxed away by others. At that time, Qin Yuan was also painstakingly** to take in Xuerou. Although Xuerou's performance was terrible, after all, she was recruited by herself. If she was kicked away, it would be like hitting her in the face. Therefore, Qin Yuan defended Xuerou very much.
Even Qin Yuan felt that Xue Rou was kind-tempered and as simple as white paper, which was much better than those who had a good heart.
At this moment, Qin Yuan listened to Xue Rou talking about things outside with a smile, and then quickly followed Xue Rou to the hall.
This is the first time Qin Yuan has encountered such a thing. He came to Mingxuan Sword and ware Shop to buy high-end goods, but it is rare to see guests who can make Xue Rou so happy.
And I heard from Xue Rou that there is a middle-aged man who calls a teenager an adult. This name is amazing!
He wants to see who this teenager is.
