Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

As for the matter of Lin Family Manor, because Xie Ying was safe and sound, the others were rescued in time, and the culprit was also executed. The sect made compensation after appeasing its own disciples, and that's it.

That day Ruan Qiu bid farewell to Yan Buping and Xie Ying, and Yin Wuchen was not there when he returned to the mountain.Lu Mingfeng said that Yin Wuchen went to discuss the follow-up matters with the head teacher, but after that day, Yin Wuchen never came back after several days of heavy snow blocking the mountain.

Three days later, the snow finally stopped.

During this period of time, Lu Mingfeng was supposed to be practicing outside, but he came back. The master was not there, so he didn't continue to go out, but he couldn't sit still, the hanging arm was just right, so he carried the sword and went to the Jiange to sweep. The name is to lead the juniors to practice swords, but in fact they are looking for people to fight. He has been doing this before going out to practice. After a few months, the second apprentice of the sword master resumed his old work. There are few people going to the Jiange these days Many, especially senior brother Zheng next door who has been suppressed all the year round.

It was a rare sunny day, and Ruan Qiu also went down the mountain. He had been in touch with his elder brother Song Xinting, and they told each other that they were safe on the day they returned to the sect. They made an appointment to meet each other down the mountain to return the jade pendant.

It was the dragon-patterned jade pendant that the little girl named Axi stuffed into Ruan Qiu when she stole Qianling dew. It was too chaotic in Linjiazhuang that day, and Yin Wuchen hurriedly took Ruan Qiu away, but Ruan Qiu couldn't find it either. The opportunity to return the jade pendant to the little girl.

But the jade pendant with dragon patterns was very valuable, so Ruan Qiu naturally wouldn't accept it, so he asked Song Xinting to find out about Ah Xi's whereabouts, but the result was not ideal.

Song Xinting told him in the letter that after the disciples of Linjiazhuang were taken back to the sect that day, Ah Xi disappeared. It is said that he was taken away by the disciples of the inner sect, and even the outer disciples who went to Linjiazhuang with her I don't even know which mountain's disciple she is.

Xuanji Sect has three mountains and 24 peaks, and there are tens of thousands of disciples in the inner and outer sects. The three mountains are independent of each other. Song Xinting couldn't find anyone for a while, so Ruan Qiu decided to go down the mountain in person.

The last time they followed Ah Xi to a pharmacy, Ruan Qiu wanted to try his luck.

The bazaar was still as lively as ever. The two walked on the corner of the bustling street. Song Xinting habitually protected Ruan Qiu and asked him to walk on the side with fewer people. She appeared in the market before, but only occasionally, and not many people know her."

Ruan Qiu lightly squeezed the jade pendant with dragon patterns in his hand, "It doesn't sound like a disciple of our sect, this jade pendant should be very important to her."

Song Xinting knew about this jade pendant, otherwise he would not have helped Ruan Qiu inquire about Ah Xi who had snatched his Qianling Flower Dew, but it was the first time he saw it today, and he could tell at a glance that this jade pendant was of extraordinary quality.

"This little girl, I'm afraid it's not easy."

Ruan Qiu asked: "How do you say?"

Song Xinting was thoughtful, "That day in Linjiazhuang, neither you nor I saw her make a move. I thought she was just here to join in the fun, but it was not. According to the outer disciples who accompanied her, although she is young, she has It is the cultivation of the fifth level of Qi training."

Ruan Qiu was slightly stunned, "Fifth level of Qi training?"

With the same cultivation level as his now, it's no wonder those outer disciples are willing to take her with them.Among the few outer sect disciples, a few good seedlings have been selected into the inner sect, and the rest have been properly arranged.

Ah Xi was only in her early ten years old, Ruan Qiu was a little envious, and nodded, "He is also a young genius, so this jade pendant should be returned."

Song Xinting was not at ease, "Now you are also a blessing in disguise. You have been promoted to the fifth level of Qi training, and you should practice hard. If you can't find anyone this time, give me the jade pendant and I will return it for you."

Ruan Qiu really wanted to retreat for a while, so he smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, thank you brother."

Song Xinting laughed and rubbed Ruan Qiu's head, "Why are you being polite to my brother?"

Ruan Qiu's eyes were smiling, but he didn't hide.

The dilapidated pharmacy was on the edge of the market, and the two brothers found it not long after. It was a coincidence that before entering, a little girl wrapped in a rabbit velvet cloak ran out of it. Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting looked at each other. Holding the jade pendant, he walked over.

"Miss Axi, what a coincidence."

Ah Xi's eyes lit up when she saw him, but due to Song Xinting's expressionless face, she wanted to stop, but her eyes were still fixed on Ruan Qiu, "I heard that you are looking for me."

"Are you waiting for me here?"

Ruan Qiu was a little surprised, then smiled and handed over the dragon pattern jade pendant in his hand, "I'm looking for you. Return this jade pendant to the girl."

The young and laid-back pharmacy owner walked out from behind Ah Xi, leaned against the door with a jug in his arms, and mercilessly exposed her old background, "This little girl heard yesterday that a senior brother Ruan was looking for her, and Baba ran to wait for you."

"Why are you so busy, go back!" Axi blushed, turned around and scolded, the shopkeeper smiled smugly, and would definitely not listen to her.Ah Xi didn't pay attention to him any more, and pushed the jade pendant back, "This jade pendant is for me to exchange for Qianling Hualu..."

As she spoke, she felt ashamed and drooped her head in shame.

That's not called exchanging at all, it's called grabbing.

Ruan Qiu smiled and said: "That day you used Qianling flower dew to save people, I saw it all, it's a good thing, but I don't agree with your approach. I can't take this jade pendant, you should take it back."

A Xi hurriedly shook her head, "No, no! I took Senior Brother Ruan's Qianling Flower Dew in exchange. If Senior Brother Ruan doesn't like this jade pendant, then... I'm saving spirit stones. When I have enough, I'll redeem my jade pendant again, okay?"

Ruan Qiu thought for a while and asked: "That day when you went to Linjiazhuang, did you want to save spirit stones and return them to me?"

Ah Xi blushed completely, "Don't worry Senior Brother Ruan, I will work harder next time!"

Looking at the serious expression of the little girl, Ruan Qiu couldn't help but think of Xie Ying. Both of them are very young and stubborn.

That little girl helped Ruan Qiu in Linjiazhuang that day, and Ruan Qiu knew she was not a bad person. After seeing her today, he did see the right person. He smiled and put the jade pendant in Ah Xi's hand, and said softly: " I still don't agree with you taking on such a dangerous mission, so let's return the jade pendant to you first, and if you really want to return my spirit stone, then come and do things for me."

Ah Xi's small hand was gently touched by a hand as warm as jade, and the blush on her cheeks spread to the back of her ears, but Ruan Qiu quickly let go of her hand. She felt a little lost in her heart, and asked blankly: "Then, what does Brother Ruan want me to do?"

Ruan Qiu was just looking for an excuse to return the jade pendant to her. It was impossible for her to do anything difficult, so she said: "I usually practice alchemy, and occasionally I go to the mountains to collect herbs. If you are free, come and help me."

Ah Xi couldn't tell that helping her in collecting herbs was simply an excuse for Ruan Qiu to help her. Compared to this, it was much more difficult to collect spirit stones to take on other tasks.She stared blankly at Ruan Qiu, feeling both ashamed and grateful in her heart, then she clenched the jade pendant tightly and nodded seriously, "Okay, Senior Brother Ruan, don't worry, I'll come to help whenever you collect herbs!"

Ruan Qiu smiled with satisfaction, and Song Xinting did shake his head and sigh, with a helpless expression on his face.After the matter was settled, the two of them didn't stay any longer, and left after agreeing on the next time to gather herbs, and Axi watched them go away until they could no longer see anyone.

The shop owner took a sip of the dirty wine, looked at the little girl eagerly looking at the corner of the street, and said with a smile: "Everyone has gone away. You said that you are a little girl, and you have five levels of Qi training anyway. Senior brother Ruan is so weak, you were so weak at that time. How could you want to steal something from others?"

Axi turned her head and spat at him, "You are weak, what's wrong with you!"

But she felt ashamed in her heart, that day the little beggar lacked the medicine of Qianling flower dew, and it happened that Ruan Qiu had Qianling flower dew in her hand, she decided to grab Ruan Qiu's things without thinking too much.

I just regret it now...

Ah Xi stared at the street corner that had long been deserted, her eyes brightened, she puffed her cheeks and said, "Senior brother Ruan is a good man, he is very powerful!"

Ruan Qiu didn't know that there was a girl in her early ten years who admired him so much in the market, and she was being scolded by Song Xinting at the moment, "You, didn't you say you want to retreat, and you want to take people into the mountains to collect medicine?"

"Brother..." Ruan Qiu said in a low voice, "I think she's a good match, not to mention that if you want to retreat, Qinghui Mountain still has a lot of things to explain, so I can't be in a hurry. I want to make some more pills for my brother first. , brother used the elixir last time, is it any better?"

Song Xinting sighed secretly, and stroked his dantian, "It's really improved a lot. Xiaoqiu, your medical skills are no worse than those of Lingxi Mountain."

Ruan Qiu smiled and narrowed his eyes, "It's not so good, brother don't praise me."

Song Xinting was obviously happy to see him, his Qiushui eyes lit up, and he smiled helplessly, "Okay, the snow is deep on the mountain, you want to take that girl to collect medicine, don't go to dangerous places."

Ruan Qiu nodded, glanced at Song Xinting quietly with bright eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, who is Song Jingfeng that Lin Yong said that day?"

When Ruan Qiu was very young, Song Xinting had been practicing Zizai Feihua's swordsmanship, but Ruan Qiu's mother said that his body had been seriously injured and his progress was slow.Ruan Qiu's mother also said that if Song Xinting was in good health, the foundation could be established within ten years.

It's a pity that Song Xinting was delayed due to old injuries and did not succeed in building the foundation until this year.He is seven years older than Ruan Qiu, and now he is twenty-six.

Before Ruan Qiu was born, he followed Ruan Qiu's mother. He called Ruan Qiu's mother and aunt, and lived with them in the Taoist temple.

Song Xinting didn't seem to expect that Ruan Qiu would ask him this question, his face changed instantly, it was a bit ugly, Ruan Qiu saw it, and knew that Song Xinting knew about Song Jingfeng, just as he was about to continue asking, Song Xinting went ahead with a cold face Open your mouth.

"He's an old friend of mine."

Song Xinting's face was livid, and it was rare to show such a side in front of Ruan Qiu. He clenched his fists and said hoarsely: "Xiao Qiu, I don't want to mention this person, let's not talk about him, okay?"

There was a bit of pleading in his words.

Ruan Qiu couldn't help being shocked. Although he still had many doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at Song Xinting worriedly.

"I won't ask, brother."

Song Xinting's smile was a bit forced, "Let's go, don't you want to get the medicine?"

After he finished speaking, he walked towards Lingxi Medicine Hall first, as if avoiding Ruan Qiu, Ruan Qiu pursed his lips, and followed quickly, "Brother, I don't know who Song Jingfeng is to you, but you It was the elder brother who watched me be born and grew up with me, in my heart, you will always be my best elder brother!"

Song Xinting's footsteps paused slightly, and when Ruan Qiu followed, he raised his head and looked at Ruan Qiu, who carefully grabbed his sleeve.

"elder brother?"

The word "brother" made Song Xinting feel nostalgic. He had watched Ruan Qiu grow up little by little. The word "brother" was the second word Ruan Qiu learned to say after his mother, as if in an instant. , a small child who would grab the hem of his clothes and call him brother, has grown up in front of him.

Song Xinting smiled with curved lips, then slowly shook his head, "Nothing, let's go."

His pace was very slow, as if he was waiting for Ruan Qiu, Ruan Qiu finally felt relieved, grabbed Song Xinting's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"It's not your fault." Song Xinting paused slightly, "I just don't want to mention him again."

Ruan Qiu looked at him thoughtfully, keeping this in mind.It seems that it is impossible to inquire about Song Jingfeng from Song Xinting.

Along the way, the two of them didn't talk anymore, but Song Xinting didn't let Ruan Qiu let go of his sleeves, just like when Ruan Qiu was a child, when he was learning to walk, he would drag his brother's clothes and sleeves to move.

Last time, the Qianling dew was snatched away by Ah Xi in front of the Lingxi medicine hall. Later, Ruan Qiu asked Senior Brother Zheng to order some. Today, he went down the mountain to pick it up. Seeing that Song Xinting was not in a good mood, Ruan Qiu asked him to wait upstairs Wait, go to the second floor of the medicine hall to pick it up.

It just so happened that the person who refined Qianling Flower Dew had just delivered the things today, when Ruan Qiu went upstairs with the shopkeeper, he ran into this person.

When the two sides met, the young man in white with a sword showed some surprise on his face, and then stepped forward with a gentle smile, "Senior Brother Ruan."

Ruan Qiu was also surprised, "Shen... Junior Brother Shen."

The shopkeeper asked someone to take out the Qianling flower dew, and said with a smile: "The Qianling flower dew made by senior brother has just been tasted. It is very pure and top-grade. Coincidentally, you came just after senior brother Shen delivered it."

This time, the person who took his order to refine the dew was actually Shen Zhuohan?

There are so many medical practitioners in Lingxi Mountain, Ruan Qiu really didn't expect it to be him.He looked at Shen Zhuohan on the opposite side, and bowed his hands stiffly in return.

Shen Zhuohan was calm, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Ruan to be in a hurry to ask for Qianling dew. I'm sorry, I've been recuperating for the past few days, so I'm a bit slow. It just so happens that Senior Brother Ruan is here too, why don't you take a look first?"

Ruan Qiu quickly regained his usual composure, "No need, I trust Junior Brother Shen."

Shen Zhuohan smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that the person who asked me to order Qianling dew these two times was actually Senior Brother Ruan. That day in Linjiazhuang, it was Senior Brother Ruan who saved us, and I haven't thanked him face to face."

"These two flower dews were you..." Hearing what he said, Ruan Qiu was shocked again, "Junior Brother Shen is polite, you and I are from the same sect, the situation is urgent that day, if I don't take action, I will die myself."

Shen Zhuohan said: "Senior brother Ruan is too modest, you really convinced me that day."

Ruan Qiu is not very good at communicating with people, especially this person is Shen Zhuohan.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper brought over two bottles of Qianling flower dew, interrupting their conversation.

Two small jade bottles the size of a palm cost more than 2000 spirit stones. Fortunately, Ruan Qiu did not lack spirit stones, so he paid for the spirit stones happily. The seller was here, and Shen Zhuohan took two thousand spirit stones on the spot. Nearly [-] spirit stones were deducted from the rebates for eating in the hall.

Ruan Qiu took the medicine and left, but Shen Zhuohan followed closely behind.

"Senior Brother Ruan stay behind!"

Ruan Qiu stood in front of the stairs, waiting for Shen Zhuohan to come forward, feeling a little confused.

I have to say that Shen Zhuohan's appearance is very good, even for Xuanjizong who has never been short of beauties, his handsome face is quite outstanding, he is a handsome young man that many people will like.

"Thank you, Brother Ruan."

Ruan Qiu blinked, full of bewilderment, "Why did Junior Brother Shen thank me again?"

Shen Zhuohan said: "I'm about to refine the spirit sword, but I don't have enough spirit stones to exchange for the purple obsidian in the door. I originally wanted the purple obsidian in Linjiazhuang. Who would have thought it was a trap. But the thousands of times that senior brother Ruan customized Linghualu fills this gap."

Ruan Qiu suddenly realized that this was the case, but Shen Zhuohan seemed to be short of spirit stones?Thinking that tempering the spirit sword needs to consume a lot of materials, and it may not be successful, Ruan Qiu understood. He didn't expose the fault of others, but just nodded lightly.

"Junior Brother Shen is polite, so I need Qianling dew, and Junior Brother Shen helped me refine it twice, so I should thank you." But they paid both money and goods, so there was nothing to say.

"I still want to thank Senior Brother Ruan." Shen Zhuohan made an inviting gesture, Ruan Qiu went downstairs first, Shen Zhuohan walked side by side with him, Ruan Qiu discovered that the other party was half a head taller than him, looked thin, but actually had a skeleton Much older than him.

Shen Zhuohan did not miss Ruan Qiu's scrutiny, he hooked his lips and said: "That day in Linjiazhuang, no matter why Lin Yong came, the people who stood up to protect us were Senior Brother Ruan and Senior Brother Lu."

Ruan Qiu said: "Junior Brother Shen is also very powerful. I heard that you are already preparing to build a foundation."

Shen Zhuohan's eyes flashed brightly, "It turns out that Senior Brother Ruan will also inquire about me?"

Ruan Qiu was taken aback for a moment, why did Shen Zhuohan speak so strangely?

In a blink of an eye, Ruan Qiu stepped on the ground and almost fell, Shen Zhuohan saw that he was staggering, and supported Ruan Qiu, but Ruan Qiu was caught off guard and leaned into his arms.

"Brother Ruan, be careful."

When he came back to his senses, Ruan Qiu, who was still in shock, was still beating wildly, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

He wanted to stand up, but the hand holding his arm did not let go, Ruan Qiu's body tensed up, but Shen Zhuohan frowned slightly, and looked up at him with a half-smile, "The fragrance of Jiuyelan."

Ruan Qiu didn't know why, stretched out his hand and pushed lightly, and broke away from Shen Zhuohan's hand. He took a few steps back, always feeling that something was wrong.

Shen Zhuohan also reacted at this moment, "I'm sorry, I'm rude, but Jiuyelan is too difficult to cultivate, it consumes a lot of energy and materials, even if there is not much stock in Lingcao Garden, please don't blame Senior Brother Ruan."

He has finished talking, what else can Ruan Qiu care about with him?But Ruan Qiu always felt that the feeling that Shen Zhuohan almost held him in his arms just now made him feel a little terrified, except for his elder brother and master, no one else has ever been so close to him.

"It's...it's okay."

Ruan Qiu let out a breath, even if it felt wrong, she didn't say it.

Shen Zhuohan said: "Brother, don't blame me."

Ruan Qiu felt a little embarrassed, at least someone helped him, he thought for a while, and asked Shen Zhuohan, "Junior brother Shen wants Jiuyelan?"

Shen Zhuohan said frankly: "I wanted it before, but now I don't need it for the time being. Senior Brother Ruan asked this way, can I think that next time I want Jiu Yelan, I can find Senior Brother Ruan?"

Ruan Qiu also responded generously: "If you want, I can give it to you."

The formations on the Tianshan Mountain have been repaired these days, and most of the spirit grasses that were damaged by Xie Ying have been rescued, including those Jiuyelan.

Shen Zhuohan couldn't help laughing, "Thank you, senior brother Ruan, for your kindness. I was just joking. Nine night orchids are not easy to cultivate. Presumably senior brother Ruan has spent a lot of effort. How can I really leave."

Ruan Qiu had never met someone like Shen Zhuohan before, so he couldn't react for a while. Song Xinting downstairs saw him standing on the stairs talking to Shen Zhuohan, and he didn't come down for a long time. He thought something happened, so he walked this way Come over and call Ruan Qiu.

"Xiaoqiu?"

Shen Zhuohan followed the sound and found Song Xinting, "Someone is waiting for Senior Brother Ruan, so I won't bother you, Senior Brother Ruan, go slowly."

Hearing that he was going to leave, Ruan Qiu secretly rejoiced, and bowed his hands calmly on his face.

"Farewell."

Shen Zhuohan bowed his hands to return the salute, looked at Ruan Qiu, narrowed his fox eyes that seemed to be fascinated, and said with a smile: "Senior brother Ruan is too thin, his waist is so thin, I can wrap my junior brother around with one hand, Jiu Yelan is of course Rare, but Senior Brother Ruan, who is extremely mysterious, is even more precious, so you should take good care of yourself."

Ruan Qiu was completely stunned, looking at Shen Zhuohan who quickly retreated in shock.

He... His guess just now was indeed correct, he respected Shen Zhuohan as his future mistress, but he never thought that his future mistress would actually molested him!

The author has something to say:

Shen Xiaohu: Future teacher?

Master:?
