Although the Yuxu Palace left by Zhu Hongye is empty and quiet, after all, there are several seniors living there, and they have to take care of everything, so Zhao Kuang, the oldest of the four, agreed to these things and became a The "steward" of Yuxu Palace.

Zhou Chi said casually that day, "Stay by your side and wait on you." The senior housekeeper didn't know how to serve him. Out of concern for Zhou Chi's safety, he arranged for Han Yi to be in the most remote small courtyard in Yuxu Palace. inside.Zhou Chi walked through the flowers and weeds all the way, and pushed aside the clusters of beards hanging from the thick banyan tree in front of the courtyard gate, and only then did he vaguely see the four characters "Inseparable Place" on the courtyard gate.

The steward in charge of the garden knew that Zhou Chi was coming, so he asked someone to clean the yard early, boiled water, and made tea.

Zhou Chi stepped into the room along the path in the courtyard. Just as his butt touched the stool, a servant brought him a cup of hot tea.

Zhou Chi held the tea bowl and took a sip, and asked Han Yi who was lying on the bed from a distance: "Are you awake?"

"...Well." Han Yi's voice was hoarse, "Where is this? Who are you?"

Zhou Chi held the tea in the same posture, and said slowly: "Weiyun Mountain, Liuxi Peak."

"Yuxu Palace? Are you Zhou Chi?" Han Yi frowned, as if enduring the pain, "Why am I here?"

"I'm asking you this."

Han Yi's brows tightened even more.

Zhou Chi said: "A few days ago, you stumbled into the maze in the mountain by mistake, and fainted at the foot of the mountain, but was brought back by my elder brother who likes to pick up rags. I got someone to check your veins, and your dantian was sealed, and your martial arts were useless... ...Who are you offending?"

Han Yi pursed his lips tightly and said after a while, "I don't know."

Zhou Chi didn't ask any further questions, and said, "What's your name?"

Han Yi said: "Duan Zhuo."

Zhou Chi nodded: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Han Yi: "It's better."

"Then let's keep it like this first." Zhou Chi put down the teacup and stood up, planning to leave.

"You..." Han Yi stopped him, "What do you want to do with me?"

Zhou Chi paused when he heard the sound, and glanced at him halfway across his face.

"You have lost all your martial arts, and your heart and lungs are damaged. If you don't take care of yourself, you can only be like ordinary people all your life. You can't touch swords. If you take care of yourself well, it will take three to five months or three to five years, and you may be able to live with me, the housekeeper of Yuxu Palace. The servants of the courtyard are evenly matched, why should I spend my energy on you? But seeing that you look good, stay by your side and be a pleasing vase."

"What if I refuse?"

"You think I care?"

"..." Han Yi looked at Zhou Chi in the distance, who was wearing a white shirt and looked at him with a half-smile, and felt a sudden pause in his heart.

"Let's go." Zhou Chi said, "It's such a waste of time to chat with you. Come and take care of me. I'll send it to you when I can go to the ground."

Zhou Chi left as soon as he said it, and he didn't care about him, a man of unknown origin. The servants in the courtyard were like dumb puppets. They just gave Han Yi medicine and water, and ignored the rest. Enmity with others, and how he broke into the foot of Weiyun Mountain by mistake, only revealed one name in the end.

Did this Young Palace Master Yuxu find out what they had done, or did he really not care?Or has he secretly sent someone to investigate his "origin"?

Han Yi slowed down and lay back on the bed.

——He sealed his martial arts by himself, but he didn't fake the injuries all over his body, and his heart and lungs were old injuries accumulated over the years, which should be taken care of.

After lying down like this for another two days, Han Yi was able to get out of bed and move around freely.

On this day, the servant of "Incomparable" waited for Han Yi to finish applying the medicine, and said, "Mr. Duan, the young master has a request."

Han Yi paused his bandaged hands and asked, "Where?"

"Young master Duan, just follow me." After finishing speaking, he put away all the bottles and cans, and waved his hand to greet him.

Han Yi raised his sword and followed the servant.

It was early in the morning, before the morning class in Yuxu Palace was over, the servant led Han Yi all the way to the Uneasy Hall.

In the Uneasy Hall, Zhao Kuang was teaching a few boys the first form of Yuxu swordsmanship.

Zhu Fang and Zhou Chi competed swords with each other, making moves on one side, pointing at the wind, setting off waves of air, with an undisguised invincible vigor, the potted money pine at the four corners of the yard trembled, and the branches and leaves crackled and fell many.

Still wearing a red shirt, Ji Shui sat cross-legged in the octagonal gazebo, with a steelyard in his hand, looked down at the book from time to time, then poured the contents of the weighing pan into a delicate copper stove in front of him, saying, "Enough is enough." That's enough, I only need one money."

Zhou Chi and Zhu Fang continued to gesture, pointing to the wind to blow up the fallen pine branches and shoot them obliquely into the pavilion.

In the pavilion, Ji Shui stretched out two fingers to hold it, picked up a branch and knocked on the weighing pan, all the pine needles fell into the weighing pan, which was exactly one qian.

Ji Shui took the mortar and crushed it, poured it into the furnace, urged him with his inner strength, and the uneasy hall was instantly filled with a heavy, clean, gentle and intoxicating scent of rosin.

Several boys practicing swords stopped and sniffed here and there, and said in unison: "Wow——"

Zhao Kuang held the wooden sword in his hand and tapped it twice on the sword stand. The boys could only turn around and practice their swords reluctantly.

Han Yi: "..."

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Chi and Zhu Fang stopped making gestures, and they walked into the pavilion together. Immediately, a servant stepped forward to put the soft futon in front of the low table, brought water and a handkerchief to clean their hands, and then He poured tea for the two of them.

Zhou Chi took a sip, nodded his chin at Han Yi, and signaled him to come into the pavilion.

Han Yi stepped forward and stopped in front of the pavilion.

"Just come in." Ji Shui said to Han Yi, "Brother wants me to feel your pulse."

Han Yi said, "No need, I'm fine."

Ji Shui sneered: "Who cares if you are good or not? I fed you a elixir when you were unconscious. I just want to know if the elixir is useful and how effective it is."

Han Yi paused, raised his legs and stepped into the pavilion, clenched his fist with one hand and stretched forward.

Ji Shui said: "Relax." He raised his hand to catch Han Yi's meridians, suddenly raised his brows, then restrained his expression and said to Zhou Chi, "It's done."

Zhou Chi nodded: "Then make another furnace as usual, give two bottles to senior brother, and keep the rest in the warehouse."

Ji Shui should be, and suddenly glanced at Han Yi meaningfully, then packed up his things and went to practice alchemy.

As soon as Ji Shui left, Zhu Fangfang moved his body and sat in Ji Shui's seat, drinking tea while watching a few boys practicing swords, but he kept paying attention to Han Yi from the corner of his eyes, pinching three poisonous needles glowing coldly between his fingers.

Zhou Chi looked tired and kicked the futon that Zhu Fang had just sat on with his toe, and the futon slid to Han Yi's feet.

"Sit down." Zhou Chi said.

Han Yi did not refuse, pulled the futon and sat down cross-legged.

Zhou Chi leaned on the table, watched the children practice swords for a while, and said to Zhu Fang: "As expected of a famous family, your understanding is much higher than mine."

Zhu Fang's hand holding the poisonous needle remained motionless, and said, "It's not that your understanding is much higher than yours, but it's that you are much more diligent than you."

"Did I not work hard before?" Zhou Chi asked back.

"Ask senior brother." Zhu Fang said.

Zhou Chi: "Don't ask, don't ask, I'm forced to practice swords all day long." After speaking, he looked sideways at Han Yi, "Pour tea."

Han Yi fell down as he said, without looking sideways, and without looking at the children.

Zhou Chi lowered his eyes and took a sip. The mist in the cup rose up and wet his eyelashes, making his pupils more black and white.

"How are you feeling these days?"

"It's fine."

"Want to go down the mountain to take revenge?"

"Duan Zhuo" is the unfavored concubine son of the Duan family in Yunnan. He is very capable. He was designed to abolish martial arts by his younger brother, kicked out of the Duan family, and chased him all the way—it seems that Yuxu Palace still went to visit him. The "details".

Han Yi: "Report."

Zhou Chi said: "For half a year, I will let you go down the mountain to take revenge, and from then on you will be a member of Yuxu Palace."

This is solicitation.

Han Yidao: "You said you only used me as a vase."

Zhou Chi squinted at him: "Vases also have to be self-motivated. I, Yuxu Palace, don't have a vase that you can eat or not?"

Han Yi was speechless for a while, but in the past few days in Yuxu Palace, all he saw were vases, and the most beautiful one should be the person in front of him. Although he is not stunning, he is clear and elegant, with clear eyebrows and clear eyes. Not like a devil, but like a rich man.

In fact, not only his appearance, but also his words, deeds, and actions are not like those of the Jianghu people.Looking at the few children outside the pavilion who were being forced to practice swords against the rising sun, Han Yi made an evaluation in his heart:

Although this person is called a devil, he is more like a young master, a prodigal young master.

The prodigal young master Zhou Chi said: "Although you can't regain all your abilities in a short time, can you be good at punching and kicking?"

Han Yidao: "Naturally."

Zhou Chi: "Then tomorrow, you will take the place of senior brothers and teach them some fists and kicks first."

Han Yi paused: "They..."

Zhou Chi said: "You have been in a bit of a panic all the way, but it's not that the news is blocked. These youngsters are all from famous families. Letting you be their master is not an insult to you, right?"

The original owner was in ambush under the empty mountain, and the arrest of Han Siyun and others caused an uproar in the Jianghu. The elders of the empty mountain were ashamed to see him, and threatened that they would catch him and beat him to ashes. Unfortunately, so far He didn't even know where Weiyun Mountain was.

Naturally, Han Yi couldn't pretend not to know, and said, "I just don't understand. If you catch them, you catch them. Why do you still teach them martial arts?"

Zhou Chi said: "I have enmity with the old bandit Han Jing, and I have no enmity with them. They are all talents that can be taught. Instead of being sent to the empty mountain to be ruined, it is better to learn three moves and five moves from me. Speaking of which, people in the Jianghu are called I’m really ashamed to say ‘devil’.”

During the conversation, the bell in the hall rang twice, and the morning class was over.

Zhao Kuang knocked on the sword stand and signaled them to put the wooden sword back. Zhao Rushi, the girl among the three, put back the wooden sword first, while Han Siyun and the fat boy who was criticized by Zhou Chi as "unusable" went to the pavilion curiously. Look around.

Han Yi met Han Siyun's gaze and poured another cup of tea for Zhou Chi without changing his expression.

With two sounds of "Du Du", Zhao Kuang urged the children to put down their swords, took them down to wash and eat, and walked into the pavilion by himself.

"Young master, where can I eat?"

"It will be with you. In addition, ask Tao Ranting to add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Zhao Kuang said yes, clasped his fists in a salute, then cast his eyes on Han Yi, and said in a deep voice: "The young master kindly keeps you and treats you politely, but I am not so easy to deal with. If I find out that you dare to harm the young master , I will feed you to the sword!"

Han Yi calmly said, "I'm seriously injured, I'm afraid your Excellency is worrying too much."

The atmosphere in the pavilion was tense, Zhou Chi looked at Zhao Kuang, who looked like a mother chicken, and thought to himself, could he be the number one male supporting role this time?

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Zhou Chi stood up quickly: "Eat and eat, senior brother please." Go to dinner with Han Yi.
