Villain, do you remember that I am a stand-in?

Shen Lianting's figure disappeared in the birch forest, and Ji Xiaoguang just wanted to run out, but as soon as he reached the corner of the open space outside, he heard a low voice coming from behind.

"stop."

He seemed to have been shocked, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Lianting standing with his hands behind his back, obviously waiting for him.

"We, seeing you haven't come back for a long time, just wanted to take a look." Ji Xiaoguang lied guilty.

Shen Lianting narrowed his eyes: "You?"

Ji Xiaoguang turned his head quickly, and there was a field of green grass and flowers in the sky, and there was the shadow of Fei Nu there.

Fei Nu actually left him and ran away. He cursed several times in his heart that Fei Nu would not be tall, and pointed at himself flatteringly: "I, only me."

Looking down at Shen Lianting's swaying robe, he slowly approached, then Shen Lianting hooked his chin with his slender fingers, making him look up: "I just heard it, I don't blame you."

Shen Lianting's fingers moved to his face, stroking the corners of his eyes: "I won't be annoyed no matter what you do, but only a little bit. Don't lie to me."

Ji Xiaoguang suddenly felt ashamed, and whispered: "I won't do it next time."

That being the case, there are some things he wants to ask, and he said in a serious voice: "Did Fang Yingqing want to kill me on the day you were not there?"

Shen Lianting lowered his eyes and finally nodded.

Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help being afraid that if he hadn't been so fatal, he might have fallen into the latrine and died of stench, drowned, or been stung into a ball by wasps.

I thought that if he was really murdered like this, it would be too disrespectful, and it would be better to just give him a knife.

Ji Xiaoguang's heart sank, and he tugged at Shen Lianting's cuff: "They want my life because of you, right?"

As long as they killed him, there would be no obstacle for them to approach Shen Lianting.

Shen Lianting did not answer, although this is the only possibility at the moment, if they just want to kill Ji Xiaoguang, they can do it blatantly, why create all kinds of accidents to deceive people's eyes and ears.

The breeze was blowing, and there was rustling in the birch forest. Shen Lianting bent down, eyes as calm as water, looked at Ji Xiaoguang, and said slowly.

"Xiaoguang, I can't touch them now, because of some other reasons...but more importantly, if I do, it will show others that you are important to me, and I don't want others to know about you It's my weakness, and I don't want you to get hurt again."

Ji Xiaoguang listened quietly, with mixed feelings in his heart, chewing his words over and over again.

Shen Lianting treated him sincerely, at first he didn't understand why he treated him like this, and now he can't figure it out either.

But he didn't want to think about it anymore, he just wanted to stay by Shen Lianting's side, and that was enough.

Hold on to it firmly and never want to let go.

When the two went back side by side, the sword-casting Longquan Workshop had already opened, and all the princes and accompanying disciples had arrived. The Ninth Prince waved to Ji Xiaoguang as usual and ran over to talk.

"I saw the owl here a long time ago, but I didn't see you. Which grove did you go to play?"

Ji Xiaoguang has long been immune to his outspokenness, and gave him a blank look: "No comment."

Seeing him like this, the Ninth Prince sighed pretentiously: "You guys love each other, it's a pity that I can only face this stone-like guy, it's really boring." He pointed to the owl who was still stuck in place.

Fei Nu poked his head behind him and said in disapproval, "Nonsense, the owl is not a stone!"

He has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and he is delicate and handsome, like a beautiful Persian cat.

His Highness Ninth Prince's eyes lit up instantly: "Where is the beauty!" As he said that, he was about to go to Lafei Nu.

Xiaoniao's strong body was like a fortress of copper and iron, and he protected Fei Nu behind his back with one hand, preventing the Ninth Prince from succeeding.

"Owl bird." Shen Lianting said, and the owl bird took Fei Nu to stand behind him.

Ji Xiaoguang suppressed a smile and said, "I told you to leave me and run away, so you're being targeted now."

Fei Nu wasn't frightened by the Ninth Prince's wild waves, but he was also depressed, muttering that his face would only drag him down...

The Ninth Prince covets Fei Nu's appearance, but because Shen Lianting doesn't dare to act presumptuously, he can only complain.

"Sixth Brother, why didn't you say you have such a beautiful child? You dote on this interesting child all the time, so you can always give me the good-looking one."

Ji Xiaoguang is the "interesting" one, he twitched the corners of his mouth impatiently, thinking that I won't blind your dog's eyes if I take off the veil.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, if you jump on people like this, you will fail sooner or later." Ji Xiaoguang buries him.

The Ninth Prince choked for a moment, but he was not annoyed, and made a pitiful look: "Xiaoguang, how can you say that about me? Anyway, I saved that baby-faced child for you. If you don't thank me, you don't need to curse me." me."

Ji Xiaoguang almost forgot about it. Although the Ninth Prince only pointed out the miraculous effect of the black-tailed phoenix, it did help him.

He could see that the Ninth Prince's nature was not bad, and he was a little bit cheap, but he still had to thank him.

He said sullenly: "Thank you, Your Highness Ninth Prince, for your help."

The Ninth Prince laughed loudly: "That's right."

Several masters from Jianjian Longquanfang invited them in, and Shen Lianting walked behind. When the crowd left, the Ninth Prince suddenly walked around behind him and said in a low voice, "Sixth brother, be careful with that Fang Yingqing."

The voice was as calm as water, and there was no hint of teasing just now.

Shen Lianting paused slightly, turned his pupils to look at him, but did not speak.

Seeing him stop, the Ninth Prince lowered his voice and continued: "Although it's just my guess, there are too many things hidden in Fang Yingqing's eyes, and it's not clean."

In the previous life, this half-brother had said similar things to him, but he had gotten too deep at that time, pushing this person who treated him sincerely further and further away.

"En." Shen Lianting solemnly patted the Ninth Prince's shoulder before continuing to walk forward.

He is very clear about many things, but he can't act rashly now, because...in a place where no one can see, there seems to be someone who is manipulating the transparent thread and constantly fueling the flames.

The sword workshop was scorching hot, the huge stove was burning with high-heat charcoal fire, the surroundings were full of the sound of hammers being hammered, and sparks were flying everywhere.

Ji Xiaoguang searched around in the crowd, but did not see Fang Yingqing and Gu Xiaocheng, presumably they left.

Originally, these were just the training courses for the princes, and Gu Xiaocheng's duty was to protect them, but as the deputy commander, he didn't have to be here all the time, Fang Yingqing just picked it up, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to follow.

At this time, a swordsmith wearing a scarf was putting down his hammer and carefully putting the blade into the cold water. Ji Xiaoguang felt it was interesting, so he took a few more glances.

He majored in electric welding at university, and he went to graduate school with a cramped brain. He was faced with either steel or sparks all day long, and he couldn't even see a long-haired one.

Later, he changed many jobs in order to support his gay brother, and finally chose to be a sad programmer, either working overtime or overtime, so that his mother was single until now, and he has zero love experience.

It hurts to think about it, God, can you tell him what sweet love tastes like!

Shen Lianting looked down at him like a bitter gourd, thinking that the heat here was uncomfortable, and asked: "If you don't like it, let's go out."

The whole piece of fire also caused a chaotic picture to flash in his mind.

"I'm fine, it's interesting."

Ji Xiaoguang is really not reluctant. With his professional knowledge in school, he can easily see the way. Although these skills are a bit old, it is not impossible to try.

Mr. Zhu Jian was talking about adjusting the materials for casting swords, saying that the alignment of the alloy components is particularly important. This first step is also the most important part, and it is the key to determining its performance.

The more Ji Xiaoguang listened to it, the more interesting he became. After all, there are equipment ratios in modern times, which are naturally much more convenient than the ancients' groping forward. He has learned all these cognitions in books, and he can completely use them.

He raised his hand excitedly: "Sir, can I try?"

The lecturer who made the sword was tall and tall. He had been in the sword workshop for half his life, and his demeanor was bold and unrestrained. He naturally welcomed Ji Xiaoguang's eagerness to learn.

Shen Lianting was slightly surprised: "You like it?" Ji Xiaoguang nodded.

"Be careful of the flames, don't get burned." Shen Lianting agreed after thinking about it.

The deployment platform had to go around a long step. Ji Xiaoguang stepped on the platform and wanted to go around it.

"Ah..." He just yelled out, and slammed into someone's chest firmly. Looking back, Lin Yaozheng was supporting him with eyes full of disgust.

"What's it called? A few inches high, how can it be useless like a daughter's house?" Lin Yao pushed him to the side and stood with his sword in his arms.

Ji Xiaoguang couldn't hold back, the bright red in the stove dazzled his eyes, so he accidentally stepped on the air.

But thinking of Lin Yao's rescue, he said quickly, "Thank you." He didn't say any more.

Hearing this, Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, put down the posture of embracing the long sword, and his expression moved slightly.

Ji Xiaoguang continued to walk towards the deployment platform, and just as he circled around, Lin Yao suddenly chased after him.

Stretching out his arms in front of him, he said, "You are not allowed to go."

Ji Xiaoguang was puzzled: "Why?"

Lin Yao said in front of everyone: "As a disciplined inspector, I can't let you do things that don't comply with the rules."

It is said that after Lin Yao was returned by Shen Lianting, he lost his temper when he returned.

But he has a good family background, and he is the youngest son of the second elder, so the manager thought about it and added a job of inspecting disciples to him, and he only took up the job recently.

Ji Xiaoguang suspected that he was deliberately embarrassing himself, but he still said patiently in front of everyone: "Brother Lin, why is it against the rules?"

Lin Yao was not afraid of these princes from Xuanguo, and naturally he was not afraid of Shen Lianting, he said loudly, "You should do whatever you want, what do you mean by rules?"

Only the princes could learn these exercises, but most of them were not interested in the noise of the heat wave. Ji Xiaoguang wanted to try it because Shen Lianting allowed it.

Ji Xiaoguang saw that Lin Yao was competitive and aggressive, if he went against him, he would be on the tip of his horns.

Over there, Shen Lianting jumped up and stood between the two, his stern face reflected the firelight: "Whatever your business..."

Lin Yao raised his chin slightly and took a step forward without fear.

Ji Xiaoguang understood that Shen Lianting was helping him out, but looking at Shen Lianting's tall figure, he felt more hesitation in his heart.

He can't always stand behind Shen Lianting, and he doesn't want to be a worthless underbelly.

"Shen Lianting." He looked into the other person's eyes and said firmly, "This time, I want to do it myself."

"Xiaoguang?" Shen Lianting frowned slightly.

Ji Xiaoguang responded with a smile: "Trust me."

Then he stepped forward, looked straight at Lin Yao, and said in a stern voice, "Senior Brother Lin, would you like to compete with me?"

Lin Yao said disdainfully, "Compared to what?"

"Casting a sword," Ji Xiaoguang pointed to the bronze liquid poured into the sword fan: "How about we compare it to casting a sword?"

[The author has something to say]: Ji Xiaoguang is in love with cerebral palsy, Shen Lianting, you ask for more blessings [狗头]

ps: The electric welding profession and sword casting here are all simply borrowed by me and then edited. Don’t take it seriously, it’s also very unprofessional
