After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

But it would not be good to directly refuse and ruin Lao Deng's face. After all, Yi Teng City is still friendly to Hedley, and there are also several people from the Hedley Empire among his disciples.

After thinking about it, Ryan simply said: "Since you have encountered a bottleneck in the swordsmanship of Ming Gao Dao, why don't you try to take other paths instead of struggling with it?"

Hearing this, Yi Tengcheng showed bitterness on his face: "Because... I am already old. If I take another path, I may not achieve anything yet..."

"That's why you're stuck at the bottleneck. Now you don't even have the courage to fight and fight. Your swordsmanship will only retreat, and there is no possibility of further improvement."

Ryan calmly interrupted Yi Tengcheng's words, which immediately made Yi Tengcheng's ears thunderous.

If someone else said this to Yi Tengcheng, Yi Tengcheng would just dismiss it, but Yi Tengcheng had seen Ryan's swordsmanship yesterday, so he naturally took this sentence seriously.

Yi Tengcheng, who came back to his senses, quickly fell to the ground and said, "Please show me a clear path!"

Yi Tengcheng was so anxious that he even forgot the words "Your Excellency."

"Simple, go practice the knight sword and start from scratch."

Ryan said: "As you said, there are some similarities between the knight sword and the Minggao sword. Maybe as you practice, the bottleneck of the Minggao sword will be broken."

Hearing what Ryan said, Yi Tengcheng's expression became hesitant again.

"Anyway, being stuck at the bottleneck until you die is the same as practicing the knight sword until you die of old age. The latter will give you a higher chance of breaking through the bottleneck. Think about it yourself."

After leaving these words, Ryan left with the women.

Before leaving, Chiba whispered to Yi Tengcheng: "Teacher, get up quickly. The ground is cold and it's not good for your knees..."

When Yi Tengcheng saw Qianye, he couldn't help but be startled: "Xiaoye, why are you here?"

Chiba: "..."

Chiba puffed up his cheeks and decided to ignore Lao Deng. He took long strides to chase Ryan angrily.

Yi Tengcheng knelt on the spot and pondered for a long time. Finally, his face turned pale, he stood up, took firm steps with his rickety body, and left the shrine.

Isn't it just to practice a new way? Let's fight! Anyway, he will die of old age!

After the episode in Ito City, Ryan and his group continued to walk in the shrine, chatting wordlessly.

Chiba and Xiao Qiancao knew that Ryan was leaving, so they stayed with Ryan today.

It seems that this is the first time that Ryan has been with several women for such a long time at the shrine.

They were together all the time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the girls were not too tired, chatting and laughing about non-nutritious topics.

Because Yazhi was also leaving with Ryan, Qianye and Xiao Qiancao also chatted a lot with Yazhi. After the conversation, Yazhi's eyes were red and he felt a little reluctant to let go of the two girls.

After dinner, Oda Yuki came to Ryan and said that all the potions were ready.

Tomorrow, it's time to set off back to Hedley.

After Ryan asked Oda to tidy up the caravan, he went back to the house to rest. The girls also went back to their rooms, and the night returned to silence.

The next day, Ryan woke up very early. After Ryan got up and woke up, Yazhi was still sleeping soundly on Ryan's pillow.

Wait a minute, why did you get into my bed again?

"Hmm... Lord, morning~"

Under Ryan's gaze, Yazhi woke up in a daze and greeted Ryan with a smile.

Ryan, however, had a straight face and poked Yazhi's forehead with his index finger: "If you don't sleep in your own bed, why are you trying to get in here? Do you know the difference between men and women?"

"But Mr. Lane is my lord."

Yazhi covered her forehead and said with a dreamy smile: "Besides, I had a nightmare again last night. Because I was afraid, I came to see my lord..."

How do you look like you are having a nightmare and are scared?

After angrily poking Yazhi's forehead twice more, Ryan got out of bed, put on his clothes, and went to wash up.

Because Ryan slept in his underwear, he just put on the deacon's uniform without taking off his clothes.

During this period, Mei Zhi took off her pajamas and put on her chain mail and miko uniform.

I can leave with my lord today...

Thinking of this, Yazhi couldn't help but get excited, and his big tail swayed excitedly in line with his master's mood.

In order not to keep Ryan waiting, Yazhi quickly returned to his house, trying to be ready before Ryan finished washing.

When Ryan walked out of the house after washing, Yazhi was already waiting at the door in advance, but besides Yazhi, there was also a witch waiting for Ryan.

Seeing Ryan, the witch bowed and said: "Mr. Ryan, the goddess invites you to have breakfast together at the Grand Shrine."

Have breakfast together at Taisha?

Ryan thought that Chigusa and the others might have something to say to him, so after nodding to the miko, he and Meieda walked towards the big shrine.

In the big shrine, Matsugiya Momaki was not present, only Chiba and Kochigusa in miko uniforms.

Little Chigusa was sitting on her knees behind a low table, looking a little nervous, her feet wrapped in little white socks rubbing against each other nervously.

On the low table are four simple breakfasts.

Ryan sat across from Chigusa-chan at Chigusa-chan's signal, while Yazhi sat across from Chigusa-chan.

After sitting down, Ryan asked little Chigusa: "Chigusa, is there something you want to tell me?"

Qiancao buried her face and whispered: "First... let's eat first..."

"Oh."

Ryan nodded and ate his breakfast silently without asking any questions.

Halfway through breakfast, Chigusa took a deep breath, picked up a box from under the low table, and handed it to Ryan:

"Mr. Lane... here are some specialties of our Minggao. Thank you for taking care of us these days."

"Oh, thank you Chigusa."

Ryan still had a fork in his mouth. He looked at the box and quickly accepted it as a souvenir brought back by Chigusa.

Well, the box is heavy. It seems that there are a lot of things in it. It is quite difficult for Xiao Qiancao to pick it up.

Going to see Xiao Qiancao again, Ryan found that Xiao Qiancao still looked a little nervous and seemed to have something to say.

Seeing this, Ryan put down the tableware with a smile: "Qiangusa, if you have anything to say, feel free to tell me."

"Um……"

Seeing Ryan's smile, Xiao Qiancao lowered her red face and took a deep breath: "Mr. Ryan, please..."

Ryan raised his eyebrows: "Please?"

"Please...please...please..."

What are you asking for?

Seeing Xiao Qiancao's face getting redder and redder, Ryan suddenly had a bad premonition.

Finally, after brewing for a long time, Xiao Qiancao bent down, her face was already red, and shouted loudly:

"Please marry me!!"
