After the banquet, Second Brother walked to Ning Que and said, "The Sword Master from South Jin Kingdom is still waiting for you outside the Academy. Since this matter has been settled, when will you go out?"
Ning Que smiled and said, "Anyway, no one knows that I came out from the cliff cave. What's the hurry? Let him continue to wait. I'll rest for two days first."
His words were a little shameless, but Second Brother was not angry. He just looked at him and said coldly, "I have already told the instructor of the Front Yard that you have broken through. So don't think about delaying it. Hurry up and settle this matter. Otherwise, it will be inappropriate to let Liu Bai's brother sit at the Academy's gate."
Ning Que thought that it was not easy for him to escape from the cliff cave that was isolated from the rest of the world. He just had a meal and did not even take a bath. Now he was going to fight with someone else. How could he be a Senior Brother?
He was furious, but he did not show any anger on his face. He looked at Second Brother and said with grievance, "Got it. I'll go and meet that guy right now."
After Second Brother left, Chen Pipi came over and said worriedly, "What should we do? During the days when you were imprisoned in the cliff cave, that guy surnamed Liu has been waiting outside the Academy. It seems that he did not wait in vain. His state seems to have improved. I don't think you can beat him. "
"Never mind. I'll take a rest first."
Ning Que looked at Second Brother's back disappearing into the forest. He looked extremely presumptuous, but his voice was very low. He said, "Now that the Headmaster is back, do you think I'll be afraid of you?"
Chen Pipi smiled and said, "That's right. Now that Second Brother still wants to discipline us as strictly as before, we can complain to the Headmaster. You don't know that the Headmaster doesn't like to care about these trivial things. He usually keeps silent and pretends to be stupid. Then we can pretend that the Headmaster has spoken to deceive Eldest Brother and use Eldest Brother to suppress Second Brother. Except for your marriage, Second Brother has never dared to disobey Eldest Brother."
These words were a little confusing. After a moment of silence, Ning Que looked at him and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that your shamelessness is somewhat like mine."
Chen Pipi was about to retort, but he suddenly put away the frivolous expression on his face and put his hands behind his back. He looked at Ning Que and said calmly, "You are my Younger Brother. I will not argue with you."
Ning Que was slightly surprised. When he heard the footsteps behind him and saw Tang Xiaotang's figure from the corner of his eye, he immediately understood. He looked at Chen Pipi mockingly and said, "Good for you."
Chen Pipi didn't dare to look him in the eye and walked towards Tang Xiaotang.
Tang Xiaotang ignored him and walked directly to Ning Que. She said in a clear voice, "Ning …"
As soon as the word left her mouth, the little girl thought of something and timidly shut her mouth.
She looked around and realized that her teacher, Yu Lian, was not around. She patted her chest with lingering fear and stuck out her tongue cutely. She continued, "Youngest Martial Uncle, I want to take Sangsang out to play."
In the early morning, a gentle spring rain fell on the back of the mountain of the Academy.
Tang Xiaotang was going to take Sangsang into the mountain to pick those newborn mushrooms.
Ning Que looked at Sangsang and thought that the little girl had been suffering in the cliff cave with him for the past three months. Although she could occasionally go down the mountain for a walk, she must have had a hard time. He rubbed her head and said, "Go ahead."
Looking at the two girls walking up the mountain hand in hand, Chen Pipi returned to Ning Que's side and imagined their future life. He sighed and said, "They have become good friends in advance. Shouldn't we strengthen our communication so that we won't be punished too badly after we get married?"
"Good for you."
Ning Que looked at him and said disdainfully, "I have always been in charge of my family. When you can let Tang Xiaotang fetch water for your feet, then you are qualified to discuss these issues with me."
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the direction of Mirror Lake.
Chen Pipi shouted behind him, "What are you going to do? Be careful not to touch Second Brother. "
Ning Que was furious. He thought that Chen Pipi deliberately shouted so loudly because he wanted Second Brother to hear it.
He turned around and shouted at Chen Pipi who was three steps away, as if he was talking to a farmer on the opposite cliff. His loud voice kept echoing in the back of the mountain of the Academy.
"I'll go to check the goods! Don't worry! I won't tell Tang Xiaotang about that! Do you hear me? "
Chen Pipi heard it and felt painful. He thought that Second Brother, Third Sister and even Tang Xiaotang might have heard Ning Que's shameless framing. He wanted to find a rabbit hole in the grass and crawl into it.
…
…
It was a very ordinary looking podao.
The dark, slender blade looked like the cornices of a palace under the night sky. The lines were slightly curved and smooth, and the sharp edge glinted with a cold light. The long hilt was designed to be held with two hands, and a fine velvet rope was tied around it. From its appearance, it looked like any one of the three podaos.
But when Ning Que held the podao, he knew that it was a brand new blade.
This was because a completely different feeling came from his palm. This slender and long podao was unimaginably heavy, completely inconsistent with the size and length of the podao in his eyes.
For such a thin and long blade to have such weight, one could imagine how dense it was. Naturally, one could also guess how tough it was.
"You said to combine the three podaos into one, so I refined all three podaos into this one."
Sixth Brother looked at the podao in Ning Que's hands like looking at a child and said honestly, "I thought it would be easy, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult. The melting of ink was smooth, but the tempering part was troublesome."
To combine the three podaos into one meant that three times the amount of metal had to be melted into the same volume. Ning Que thought that if it was not tempered, how could it be done? He couldn't help but feel grateful to Sixth Brother.
Sixth Brother handed over a scabbard made of unknown leather and said, "The talisman lines on the podao are the ones you designed. But Fourth Brother said that it's better for you to carve them yourself."
Ning Que sincerely thanked Sixth Brother and was ready to carve the talisman. With the experience of making Primordial Thirteen Arrows, this was not too difficult for him.
However, he seemed to think of something. After a moment of silence, he put the heavy podao back into the scabbard and looked at the puzzled Sixth Brother. He said, "Let's talk about it later."
"Of course, you should decide your own weapon."
Sixth Brother said, "Youngest Brother, I just want to ask you one thing. I'm really satisfied with this podao. If you want to give it a name, you must think of a good one."
Ning Que's body was slightly stiff. He thought of the experience when they developed Talisman Arrows together last time. He thought of the extremely unreliable names such as Silver Arrow, Cloud-Piercing Arrow and Primordial Thirteen Arrows. He immediately understood Sixth Brother's worries and said firmly, "Senior Brother, rest assured. I will ask the teacher to give it a name."
Sixth Brother hesitated for a moment and said, "Youngest Brother, actually … the teacher's name is not very reliable."
The two of them stared at each other and finally decided to temporarily put aside the matter of naming the new podao.
Opening the box, Ning Que looked at another thing that he had asked Sixth Brother to make and said happily, "I didn't expect it to be so smooth. Senior Brother, what material did you use?"
"The craftsmanship of this gadget is not difficult." Sixth Brother said, "I asked the Ministry of Works to find some black crystals and then made some frames. I also made an extra one. There are three sets here."
Ning Que thought that the more the better. Suddenly, he thought of another thing and looked around to make sure that Sangsang was not nearby. He came to Sixth Brother and whispered for a long time.
Sixth Brother frowned slightly and asked confusedly, "It's easy to find transparent crystals. It's not difficult even if it has no impurities. If it is to prevent dust, why must it have such a small arc? The requirements for grinding and carving are too high. Even if we use water to grind it, it can't be guaranteed. "
Ning Que hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a friend who has poor eyesight and always sees things a little blurry. If she wears this thing, it can improve her eyesight."
Sixth Brother was slightly surprised and thought that Youngest Brother was really talented and had so many wonderful ideas and wisdom in his mind. He could even cure eyesight?
Just when he was about to get to the bottom of it and figure out why the curved transparent crystal could help people with impaired vision, the heavy leather curtain was lifted and the Fourth Brother walked in.
Looking at the knife on Ning Que's back, Fourth Brother asked, "Have you finished carving the talisman?"
Sixth Brother shook his head.
Ning Que explained, "I have something to do later. I will carve it later."
Fourth Brother slightly frowned and said, "So you know you have something to do? Second Brother asked you to solve the problem quickly. Why are you still here? Although those onlookers can't enter the Back Mountain, I feel uncomfortable when I think of the crowd outside the Academy's gate. "
Ning Que thought faintly. Just because he felt uncomfortable, he wanted to drive his Youngest Brother out of the Academy to fight. As his Senior Brothers, they naturally thought that the young powerhouse from the South Jin Kingdom was just an insignificant piece of trash. But that person was the younger brother of the Sage of Sword, Liu Bai. Your Youngest Brother might not be able to defeat him.
He looked at Fourth Brother who was walking towards the sand table and tentatively asked, "Senior Brother, where is Second Brother?"
Fourth Brother impatiently waved his hand and signaled him to hurry to the Academy's side gate to finish the matter. He said, "Second Brother went fishing with the Headmaster at the West Pond."
…
…
Fishing at the West Pond, not only could he enjoy the scenery and the fun of fishing, but he could also accompany the Headmaster and flatter him. It was really a happy thing. But he had to go to the Academy's side gate to fight and struggle like a fish on a hook?
The more Ning Que thought about it, the more he felt it was unfair. He did not want to leave the Back Mountain at all. However, he was worried that if he stayed in the Back Mountain, he would be seen by Second Brother. That was more dangerous than fighting with the Sage of Sword's younger brother.
Suddenly, he realized that the most dangerous place was also the safest place, so he followed the sound of the waterfall and quietly walked to the courtyard of Second Brother. He climbed the low courtyard wall with both hands and looked into the courtyard. After confirming that the scary big white goose was not there, he immediately felt relieved.
Ning Que casually pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at the young and cute little boy in the room and said proudly, "I want to take a bath and sleep. Do you have hot water?"
The little boy opened his eyes wide and looked at him innocently.
Everyone in the Academy knew that a young powerhouse from the South Jin Kingdom had challenged Ning Que to a duel. And that person had been sitting on the futon outside the Academy's side gate and waiting for Ning Que for three months.
In those three months, the powerhouse from the South Jin Kingdom had been exposed to the wind and the sun, drenched in rain and covered in dust. His life could be said to be difficult, even more so than Ning Que who was in seclusion in the cliff cave. Ning Que knew the current situation, but he did not immediately accept the challenge after coming out of seclusion. Instead, he had the leisure to take a bath and sleep?
