magic.

The dawn suddenly appeared, and a shadow stood dimly in the room.

Feng Ji put down the pen in his hand, turned around like a prophet: "You're back?"

A clear voice came with a smile: "I haven't made a sound yet, how did you know I'm coming? Could it be that I've neglected to practice recently and made a noise when I stepped on the ground?"

Feng Ji said: "Why don't you think that the food in the Martial Arts League is also good, and if you gain weight, you will become clumsy."

The door was gently pushed open, and a face similar to his appeared in the light and shadow from the outside. Xiao Lang smiled and said: "It's good, but it's no match for the family. Everyone who saw me said I lost weight, only you Say fat."

Feng Ji raised his eyes idlely, looking at the slightly sunken cheeks of the person in front of him: "Why, the Wulin League still dares to treat the leader of the alliance harshly, not even having enough to eat?"

Xiao Lang went straight to the table, poured out a cup of tea and put it in his mouth.

Feng Ji said lightly: "It's cold."

Xiao Lang waved his hands nonchalantly: "It's okay, as long as you can quench your thirst."

He put down the teacup: "Xiao Liu told you that I'm coming back today? Why didn't you see your parents?"

Feng Ji said: "The two of them saw that you were so busy that you didn't even have time to go home, so naturally they left sadly after the year."

Xiao Lang opened his good-looking eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "The word dejection is really not their style. According to their character, they should speak ill of me in front of you, and then angrily threaten to wipe out the Wulin League. I found new fun and went to travel around the world again.”

Feng Ji glanced at him indifferently: "Since you can deduce everything, why are you still asking me what to do?"

Xiao Lang said with a smile: "I have been in the Wulin League for a long time, and there is not even a single person who can speak openly. When I come back, I will inevitably chatter a lot."

Feng Ji said: "It deserves it."

Ask again: "How long will you stay at home this time?"

Xiao Lang sighed: "Three days, I have to go back in three days. Things in the alliance are piled up like a mountain, and it's a rare and stolen leisure for me to come out this time."

He raised his eyes and said: "What about you, I heard that you have handed over half of the things in the church to Feng Xiao and Xiao Liu to sort out, where are you going to be the shopkeeper?"

Feng Ji sneered and said: "It seems that the Martial Arts League is really a mixed bag, and it has given you the habit of probing with words. I don't believe that the majestic Martial Arts League leader doesn't know about such a big event as the Famous Sword Conference."

Xiao Lang stuck out his tongue, raised his hand in surrender and said: "There are too many empty words, and I can't turn the corner for a while. Closer to home, I can't get out of the Famous Sword Conference, so I won't go. It's only two years away from the last conference. The master is in a hurry to hold it again, I am afraid there is something sneaky in it, so you go and help me keep an eye on it."

Feng Ji's face was expressionless, and he seemed completely unmoved by his persuasion: "It's only been a long time since he succeeded, and the leader of the alliance has extended his hand to the Demon Sect."

Xiao Lang said with a smile: "Don't dare, I just think it's my family, so it's easier to talk."

Feng Ji snorted and didn't say anything more, but Xiao Lang knew that he had already agreed.

"By the way, Mingtong should also go to this meeting." Xiao Lang said: "Please forgive me, the leader, and don't let Fengyun envoy misunderstand anything."

Feng Ji's hands paused, and a smile actually appeared, and he asked: "Why, the leader of the alliance also cares about this?"

Xiao Lang said with a smile: "A big misunderstanding is always troublesome, I am harmless, but if the leader does not stop it in time, I am afraid that I will suffer in the future."

The two talked to each other, the leader and the leader shouted very warmly, there was a hidden contest in the words, finally Feng Ji sighed and said: "That's all, if this is the case, I will find a chance to make it clear with him."

"Then I will be the leader of labor." Xiao Lang's smile was still gentle: "If there is an opportunity for me to come forward to explain in the future, I will definitely be obliged to do so."

Feng Ji said lightly: "If you have time to talk to me about this, why don't you go to sacrifice to your ancestors. Parents can forgive you for not returning during the New Year, but your ancestors may not be able to forgive you."

Xiao Lang knew he was wrong, put his teacup upside down and went out.

On the other side, Shijia Boxing Gym.

The disciples were frightened the night before, and their bodies and minds were tense, but they slept soundly.It wasn't until the next day when I got up early to go to class and saw Master's dark face that I remembered the mistakes everyone made together last night, and I was afraid of breaking out in a cold sweat.

Shi Jingtian pursed his lips and counted the number of people one by one. A Guang was at the end, holding two tangled fingers.

The students who committed the crime yesterday were collectively called out, and the rest followed Shi Ming in for morning class. Shi Jingtian said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back, "You follow me."

A group of erring people looked at each other in blank dismay, and followed with their eyes closed, with a heart of death.

The punishment was not strict, last night all the participants ran [-] laps around the boxing gym.

It's okay, it's okay, there is no pain in the flesh, the children secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and they spontaneously lined up and ran without waiting for urging.

After Lu Mingtong finished washing, he could not help but walk to the door curiously when he heard the sound of panting coming from outside the wall: "Brother Shi, what are you doing?"

Shi Jingtian said: "Be punished." Looking at Lu Mingtong's clothes, he said again: "The cold wind enters the body, pay attention to keep warm."

Lu Mingtong raised his hand, revealing a small hand stove.

"I'm not cold, but the children, running outside in the cold wind early in the morning, won't get sick?"

While talking to him, Shi Jingtian followed them closely with his eyes: "No, I checked, their clothes are enough to keep out the cold, and after running in to sweat, everyone is comfortable with a bowl of soup. If yesterday's incident is not punished, they will take it lightly and make mistakes again."

Lu Mingtong poked his head out and said in surprise: "Ah Guang has good physical strength, he can run so far ahead."

Just as he was talking, the people in the front row also saw the two of them, opened their mouths, as if they wanted to greet him, but when they saw Shi Jingtian at the side, they were still afraid, they blushed and nodded, and then moved on Run away: "No. 18 laps!"

Lu Mingtong couldn't help laughing, seeing this, Ah Guang was still very afraid of Big Brother Shi.

I still remember that when I first met Brother Shi, I also felt that he looked serious and vicious.After getting along for a while, I realized that he is cute and respectable.

After running the last two laps, Ah Guang led a group of children panting heavily, walked to Shi Jingtian with his hands on his legs, and said in a struggling voice, "Master, we have something to say."

A rare surprise appeared on Shi Jingtian's face: "Say."

A Guang paused, then nodded, and the people behind him immediately said in unison: "I'm sorry."

Lu Mingtong was taken aback, but then he heard everyone say sincerely: "We won't do it again in the future!"

Lu Mingtong couldn't help being amused, he couldn't believe the unison voice, even if it wasn't what was said in advance.Looking at Shi Jingtian's expression of relief, he thought to himself, but he doesn't know who initiated it, could it be Ah Guang?

"Hey, what are you doing? It's so cold at the gate."

Mrs. Lu heard some noise at some point, she came over to look at the group of flushed disciples and said, "Go in quickly, it's warm inside, have you eaten yet?"

Shi Jingtian nodded to her, indicating that the children can follow in.Everyone guessed that this matter would be over, so they happily followed the grandma who had just arrived but cooked well.

Lu Mingtong whispered from behind: "Ah Guang likes you very much."

Shi Jingtian nodded: "This kid is the most sensible, but Mingtong and Mrs. Lu are also very popular with everyone."

Lu Mingtong continued proudly: "My mother is so nice, of course everyone likes it." After speaking, he was a little sad: "Oops, I originally planned to let you cooperate with me and show her how safe it is to have you around, but When she came, all her heart was on the children."

Shi Jingtian said: "Madam Lu is kind-hearted, seeing these children is naturally filled with love."

Lu Mingtong said: "But in this way, I'm afraid she will be reluctant to ask to send her back."

Shi Jingtian frowned and said: "But... If Mrs. Lu is really reluctant to part with these children, if you let her go to the famous sword conference with you, she may not go. If there is no important matter in the Lu Family Villa that needs her to deal with, Ming Tong Madam Lu can be allowed to stay here so that she can please her and not get involved in danger. With my father around, I will definitely protect her."

Lu Mingtong laughed and said, "Good idea, why didn't I think of it!"

I told Madam Lu the next day, and Madam Lu was a little annoyed when she learned that they were going to leave immediately: "Why are we leaving so soon, it's better to stay a little longer, it's too cold now, in case we're halfway there The horse is freezing, so dangerous."

Lu Mingtong pinched her shoulder and said in a good voice: "Don't worry, mother, the horse is not so delicate. There is still a distance from the Yang family, if I don't start, it will be too late, and people will say at that time, majestic and powerful, even a little I don't understand etiquette, so I'm losing the face of our old Lu family."

Mrs. Lu said angrily: "It's not their son, of course they don't feel sorry for them." Concerned about the overall situation, she still compromised: "Then you have to be careful along the way, and write to me more often to report that you are safe."

Lu Mingtong coaxed: "Don't worry, I have Brother Shi with me, can't you see how powerful Brother Shi is these few days?" Then he said: "When I arrive at the Yang family, I will definitely write you a letter every three days. Letters, don’t be afraid that the sender will be tired, but you will get tired when receiving the letter.”

Mrs. Lu gave him a sideways glance, and patted his hand: "Blind and poor."

On the day of departure, Mrs. Lu, Shi Ming, and a group of disciples from the boxing class sent them to the door. They watched the attendants moving the large and small boxes to the cart, and they couldn't help but worry: "Why did you bring so many things? The carriage sat Will it be crowded?"

Lu Douya wiped his sweat aside, and whispered in agreement after hearing the words: "Yeah... the young master always finds it troublesome to have too many clothes, but this time when he went out, he brought more clothes than last time, all of which are his favorites, no know what's going on."

Mrs. Lu said: "Maybe it's because I've grown up, I still pay more attention to packing my clothes."

Lu Mingtong heard the conversation between the two of them as if they didn't exist, and a drop of sweat fell from his forehead: "Ahem, well, just send it here, mother, I will let Jiu Tian stay to protect you, If you miss me, just send me a letter."

Mrs. Lu nodded, took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes: "You must pay attention to safety when you are outside, and be careful."

The mother and son hugged each other and said some personal words. When Lu Mingtong turned his head, he saw another pair of father and son expressing their parting in a particularly heroic manner——Uncle Shi patted Brother Shi on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other for a while, understanding each other. Xuan nodded.

it is more than words.

Thinking of it in comparison, Lu Mingtong couldn't help but feel ashamed, let go of Mrs. Lu, and patted Lu Douya who was also wiping away tears: "Okay, okay, let's go!"

The three of them got into the carriage, and Shi Jingtian took the post of coachman himself, leaving the space in the carriage for the two masters and servants, while Lu Douya was still talking: "Master, why are you bringing so many clothes this time? Do you want to buy a new one when you go out?"

Lu Mingtong couldn't bear it anymore, refused to look at his face, turned his head and said: "You have to wait to buy new ones! Besides, these clothes are not for you to wear, what are you talking about!"

Lu Douya closed her mouth in grievance. Outside the car, Shi Jingtian's low laughter came, and the axle of the carriage moved forward along the official road, heading for everything unknown in the south of the Yangtze River without hesitation.
