Words must die [Comprehensive martial arts]

Ximen Chuuxue was indeed a born swordsman.

When Gu Shenyan met him last year, there were obvious omissions in his swordsmanship. If he met an opponent of the same level but with more flexible moves, he might not have much advantage. But now, it has only been half a year. His swordsmanship has greatly improved.

It can be said that it is rare to meet an opponent within the same realm.

Gu Shenyan purposely lowered his skill to be comparable to Ximen Chuuxue, and had a duel with him. Although he still won, it was quite difficult.

"Good, very good!"

Gu Shenyan put his sword back into its sheath, and looked at the young swordsman in white, his joy was beyond words: "The master of Ximen's swordsmanship is getting better and better, and the realm of master is just around the corner. Among the younger generation of swordsmen in the martial arts world, the master of Ximen is the best swordsman." It is a well-deserved No.1."

Ximen Chuuxue: "This statement is wrong."

Ximen Chuuxue also had a lot of fun in this hearty discussion. Although the expression on his face was always indifferent, there was a slight smile in his eyes. He was obviously in a good mood, and it was rare for him to even crack a joke.

"Could it be that Mister has neglected himself? In terms of age, I'm afraid I'm two years older than Mister... Although Mister's ability, compared with his peers, seems to be a bit of a bully."

Ximen Chuuxue is undoubtedly extremely arrogant, of course, he also has the qualifications to be arrogant.

In terms of net worth, Wanmei Villa's wealth is no less than that of the Hua family. In terms of martial arts, it is also one of the best among his peers. In terms of swordsmanship, there are only a dozen people in the world who are better than him, and most of them are martial arts seniors who are much older than him.

So there are not many people in this world who he can admire.

Before meeting Gu Shenyan, only Ye Gucheng, the master of Feixian Island in the South China Sea, could make him yearn for him.

And after seeing Gu Shenyan's swordsmanship, he was full of longing, as if he had found a goal to move forward, and his heart to seek the Tao became more and more determined.

Great masters in their early twenties, not to mention comparing themselves with their peers, even those seniors who have been famous for a long time in the martial arts world, I am afraid they can only look up to. Gu Shenyan's existence is like a rising star. The bright moon, and the vast majority of people in the martial arts, against the backdrop of this bright moon, can only be a dim star.

But Ximen Chuuxue is not reconciled to just being a star around the bright moon.

He will catch up and become another bright moon, or a scorching sun that shines brighter than the bright moon.

Gu Shenyan didn't know what Ximen Chuuxue was thinking. Of course, even if he knew this, with Gu Shenyan's personality, he would probably only be happy, because the road to seeking the Tao is so lonely, and it would undoubtedly be a blessing to have someone to accompany him on the way. a blessing.

After the discussion, Gu Shenyan stayed at Wanmei Villa at the invitation of Ximen Chuuxue.

He plans to stay here for a while, in addition to exchanging swordsmanship, he can also explore Ximen Chuuxue's tone and see if he is willing to become Chunyang's guest elder in the future.

Of course, these are all things to come, but right now, Gu Shenyan is concentrating on enjoying the food.

Although Ximen Chuuxue is obsessed with swordsmanship and doesn't care much about things outside his body, Wanmei Villa is a wealthy family no matter what, the conditions are there, and the standard of living is naturally not bad.

The cooking skills of the chefs in the village are excellent. The table includes dishes with different flavors from the north and the south. , It is simply the ultimate enjoyment, which is full of praise.

Gu Shenyan picked up a piece of pea yellow and savored it carefully. The taste was delicate and pure, as if it melted in the mouth. The taste was sweet and refreshing, not greasy at all. An urge to ask the chef for advice immediately arose in his heart. .

Compared with the chefs at Wanmei Villa, his dessert making skills are really far behind.

But having said that... Wanmei Villa's cakes taste similar to the cakes sold in the shop called Hefangzhai that he ate in the capital?

It's just that Wanmei Villa's pastries are more delicate in appearance and taste better.

With a perfect score of [-], the difference between the two is about [-] points and [-] points.

Hefangzhai should not be the property of Wanmei Villa, right?

Gu Shenyan took a sip of tea to suppress his shock, then silently glanced at Ximen Chuuxue who was sitting by the side.

how to say?

Gu Shenyan seldom judges people by their cover.

But seeing Ximen Chuuxue's cold face, and his obsessed manner of swordsmanship and indifference to foreign things, it's hard to associate him with a pastry shop.

Noticing that Gu Shenyan looked at him strangely, Ximen Fuxue: "?"

"The Hefangzhai in the capital..."

Gu Shenyan hesitated for two seconds, but he was still defeated by his own curiosity, so he couldn't help asking.

Ximen Chuuxue: "It's a property bought by the elders."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Gu Shenyan always felt that when Ximen Chuuxue said the word elder, his tone was a bit subtle, and there was a trace of disgust in his eyes.

But he couldn't get to the bottom of it, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it.

In the past, Wanmei Villa rarely had guests.

These are very few, really very few, there are only two children in total, one is Lu Xiaofeng and the other is Gu Shenyan.

Because Ximen Chuuxue showed great importance to Gu Shenyan, so when Wanmei Villa entertained Gu Shenyan, it can be said that they did their best and were meticulous, striving to make the guests feel at home.

Oh, by the way, there is also the little guy Baozi... But strictly speaking, Baozi can't be regarded as a guest, but can only be regarded as an entourage brought by the guest.

Although Gu Shenyan always said that Baozi was a child of his own family when he introduced him to the outside world, Baozi has always been stubborn. The boy who came out to see the world, so people don't have to be so polite to him.

Gu Shenyan - I didn't know why at first, but after I asked, I found out what Baozi was thinking.

"I know that the boss has always treated me very well. He didn't treat me like a buddy, but like a nephew. Of course, I feel very happy, but I'm happy if I really admit this level according to what you said, boss. identity, that would be too brazen."

Baozi said that he is also principled.

He cherishes the relationship with Gu Shenyan very much, and cannot tolerate anyone destroying it, including himself naturally.

The human heart cannot stand the test.

Baozi is unwilling to admit that he is Gu Shenyan's nephew, not because he doesn't want to get closer to Gu Shenyan, but because he doesn't have enough confidence in himself.

He was afraid that after opening this mouth, he would become more and more dissatisfied, more and more greedy, and finally even become annoying.

That's not worth the loss.

As he is now, he is already very satisfied to be able to stay by Gu Shenyan's side and be a boy or follower.

After hearing these words, Gu Shenyan was very relieved, and his usual attitude towards Baozi became a little closer.

Since then, although he has changed his words and never said that Baozi is his own child, anyone with a discerning eye can see his attitude, so naturally he will not really treat Baozi As a follower of low status.

——It's far away.

Back to the topic.

When Gu Shenyan was a guest at Wanmei Villa, the treatment he received was not bad, in some respects, it even surpassed that of Ximen Chuuxue, the owner.

For example, board and lodging.

Ximen Chuuxue has a weak appetite, and his only requirement for food is—cleanliness.

He also pays attention to health preservation, eats very lightly, and only eats [-]% full every meal.

Therefore, the chefs of Wanmei Villa don't have much room to develop in their daily lives. They have a belly full of recipes, but there are very few that can come in handy.

Well now, there is a guest in the village, this guest is still good at eating and knowledgeable, the cook finally has a place to use, why don't you seize the opportunity to show your skills, I wish I could not repeat the same, and I will serve all major cuisines Give the wheel - again.

As for the accommodation, Ximen Chuuxue didn't pay too much attention.

His room is very simple, with no other decorations except the bed, table and cabinet. Because of his deep inner strength, he is not afraid of cold and heat. On the bed, there are thin quilts all year round, and the hard board can be touched through the quilt. Comfort is out of the question.

The butler once tried to replace the thin mattress on the bed with a silk mattress filled with high-quality silk, but Ximen Chuuxue disliked it. He said that it was too soft and would affect his exercise. The butler At once:"???"

Could the firmness of the bed be related to exercise? !

Gu Shenyan's arrival can be regarded as solving the doubts for the housekeeper.

Unlike Ximen Chuuxue, Gu Shenyan is a person who pursues the quality of life very much. Although he can endure hardships, he will never ask for hardships if conditions permit.

Eat well, dress comfortably, and sleep as softly and better as possible.

It can be said that the living habits are completely different from Ximen Chuuxue.

The realm of martial arts is also completely different from that of Ximen Chuuxue.

The housekeeper was fortunate enough to witness the process of the two of them sparring. In that sparring, Gu Shenyan was full of firepower, and he didn't close it at all. In the end, it was so whizzing, swishing, and it didn't even take half a stick of incense. Ximen Chuuxue was defeated.

Leaving aside the shock in the housekeeper's heart at the time, after the incident, the first thing he did was to change the mattress of his owner.

When Ximen Chuuxue brought out the argument that the mattress was too soft and would affect exercise, he immediately refuted it back with Gu Shenyan as an example.

Ximen Chuuxue: "..." There was nothing to say.

After that, there was no mention of changing the mattress.

Although Ximen Chuuxue would turn off the air-conditioning whenever he saw the butler in the days after the mattress was changed, the smile on the butler's face still didn't hold back at all, as if he picked up a big box of gold ingots with joy.

Ximen Chuuxue... Ximen Chuuxue has nothing to do with the housekeeper. Although he is indifferent by nature and seems to be cold to everyone, there is a softness deep in his heart.

The butler has been by his side since he was a child, taking care of the housework and property for him, doing his best and being loyal.

The two are just servants in name, but in fact they are no different from relatives.

In Ximen Chuuxue's heart, the position of the housekeeper is even more important than that irresponsible father.

So he could only vent his anger on getting up due to poor rest... on Gu Shenyan.

"Draw your sword."

"……Now?"

Gu Shenyan looked up at the sky that had just turned white, and then looked down at the breakfast that had just been delivered on the table, his head was full of fog.

I really wanted to ask Ximen Chuuxue, what kind of madness did he suddenly have this early in the morning?

But that's rude to ask.

Refuse it bluntly, it seems too embarrassing.

So he brewed for a while, and said tactfully: "I have a relatively fixed schedule, for example, I have to eat when it's time to eat, and I have to take a walk to digest food after eating. More intense sports." Such as sword practice, or sparring.

So it is impossible to draw a sword.

Is it because the breakfast is not delicious enough or is it that you are not hungry when you wake up?

Even Ximen Chuuxue couldn't make him change his routine!
