In the garden in front of the parlor.
A few young men of the Shi family followed behind Zuo Shi with fawning smiles on their faces. All of them wanted to speak up and show off in front of Zuo Shi.
Some of the young men of the Shi family were collateral descendants, but there were also direct descendants like Shi Tianxiao and Shi Tianluo.
Zuo Shi seemed a little absent-minded as she stood among the flowers. Her footsteps were light and slow, but she never stopped. She held a small water bottle in her hand and swayed it in boredom. She was careless, like a fairy among the flowers.
Shi Yan came out of the parlor and pondered for a moment. Then he walked straight to the flowers and strode to Zuo Shi. He reached out his hand and said, "Let me see the turtle shell."
"Boy, now you know how to please Xiao Shi. Where were you just now?" Shi Tianxiao snorted with dissatisfaction.
"Grandpa wants to see me." Shi Yan explained casually and said, "I promised Grandpa Zuo that's why I came to take a look. Our purpose is different."
"… Our purpose? What's our purpose?" Shi Tianxiao suddenly felt guilty. He suddenly covered his nose and shouted, "Shi Yan, what's that smell on you?"
A sour smell gradually spread out from ShiYan's body.
At first, they didn't care about it. But after Shi Tianxiao's words, the young men of the Shi family who only cared about pleasing Zuo Shi suddenly realized it. They all covered their noses and avoided him, cursing Shi Yan for being wicked.
Unexpectedly, the only woman in the room, Zuo Shi, who was the focus of the crowd, didn't avoid him. She still stood there with a small kettle in her hand, as if she didn't mind the sour smell from Shi Yan's body.
Zuo Shi stared at Shi Yan in surprise. She was also a little curious.
In the past, all the young men who came to see her would dress themselves up nicely and would even spray some flower juice on their bodies. For example, Shi Tian Xiao and Shi Tian Luo, before they came, they both bathed in the Hundred Flower Dew, for fear that their bodies would have a strange smell that would offend the beauty.
But the person in front of her was exactly the opposite. His warrior suit was wrinkled and full of dust. It was obvious that he hadn't washed it for a long time. His body even smelled like he had just cultivated.
This guy obviously didn't take me seriously!
Zuo Shi was stunned for a moment and immediately came to this conclusion. This made her a little interested in Shi Yan.
Seeing that all the people had avoided him except for Zuo Shi, Shi Yan secretly nodded and said lightly, "Where's the turtle shell?"
"It's in the parlor. I'll go get it now." As soon as Zuo Shi's melodious voice fell, she moved her slender legs, her body swayed a few times, and then disappeared without a trace.
This girl's speed was as fast as lightning. Even ShiYan could only see a shadow flashing by and couldn't see all of her movements.
Shi Tianxiao and the others were all shocked.
Until then, they seemed to realize that Zuo Shi was not only beautiful, but also a warrior who was a whole level higher than them.
Zuo Shi left quickly and came back quickly.
In just five or six seconds, before the surprise on Shi Tianxiao and the others' faces faded, she came back.
Zuo Shi held a basin-sized turtle shell in one hand and suddenly appeared in front of Shi Yan. She handed the turtle shell to him and said, "Here you are."
ShiYan nodded, stretched out his hand to grab the turtle shell. Suddenly, he felt a force of gravity pressing down on him. His body staggered, and he almost fell down because of the weight of the turtle shell.
His Profound Qi suddenly burst out. Shi Yan managed to stabilize his body and shouted, "It's so heavy!"
While speaking, Shi Yan looked at Zuo Shi unhappily and thought, "Did you deliberately make a fool of me?"
However, after a closer look, he found that Zuo Shi's eyes were clear without any slyness. It seemed that she didn't mean to make fun of him.
"Well, I don't know what this turtle shell is made of. It weighs seven or eight hundred pounds." Zuo Shi didn't seem to know that Shi Yan had criticized her in his heart. She brushed her hair behind her ear and said, "I was also shocked when I got this turtle shell."
"Seven or eight hundred pounds!" Shi Tianxiao rubbed his temples and felt that his scalp was numb.
Just now, Zuo Shi was holding a weight of seven or eight hundred kilograms in one hand as if it was nothing, and her speed was as fast as lightning. This made him more deeply aware of the gap between him and Zuo Shi, and he suddenly felt powerless in his heart.
As for ShiYan, he was able to firmly hold the seven hundred or eight hundred pounds weight after a slight pause, which was an eye-opener for him. He immediately realized that what ZuoShi had said before was not without reason.
"Shi Yan, you, you …"
Although Shi Tianxiao was not talented, he was smart. When he was about to point out the strangeness of Shi Yan, he suddenly realized that Shi Jian must have kept Shi Yan's secret, so he stopped halfway.
Shi Yan looked indifferent and didn't respond to Shi Tianxiao. He just looked at the turtle shell carefully, then nodded to Zuo Shi and said, "This is the oldest language. I need some materials to decipher it. Follow me to my room."
Then, Shi Yan walked directly to his room with the turtle shell in his hand.
"Okay." Zuo Shi nodded and followed him unhurriedly.
"Brother, should we go with them?" Shi Tianluo asked in a low voice after Shi Yan and Zuo Shi left with a weird expression.
"Well, it's good to go and have a look." Shi Tianxiao couldn't help but be curious. He glanced at the living room and saw no one came out, so he walked to Shi Yan's room.
…
Shi Yan lived in a three-story stone building.
On the bottom floor, there were a lot of miscellaneous things. On the second floor, there was a resting room. On the third floor, there were huge bookcases, in which there were all kinds of ancient books and introductions of various historical sites.
After taking Zuo Shi to his room, Shi Yan saw Shi Tianxiao and the others coming over. He shouted at the door, "I need quiet, don't come in!"
Then, Shi Yan closed the door and said to Zuo Shi, "Let's go upstairs."
Zuo Shi nodded obediently and followed him to the second floor.
"Okay, take the turtle shell to the third floor and have a seat. I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. I'll be back soon. " Shi Yan handed the turtle shell back to Zuo Shi, and casually pointed at the stairs leading to the third floor, saying, "Just go up from there."
"Why do you want to take a shower now?" Zuo Shi wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm not feeling well. I don't care about your feelings. Little girl, don't overthink things."
"You're the one who thinks too much!"
"Don't waste time. Let's go to the third floor. I'm going to take off my clothes."
Shi Yan didn't shy away. He took off his warrior suit and threw it on a hanger. Wearing only a pair of shorts, he was half-naked. He glanced at Zuo Shi lazily, "Why don't you go?"
During this period of time, he had been painstakingly cultivating. After he took off his clothes, his strong body was immediately revealed. Every muscle was well-proportioned and strong, without a trace of excess fat. It was as if he was molded from molten iron and steel, full of masculine charm that was unique to men.
Seeing him take off his clothes without any hesitation, Zuo Shi panicked. She cursed Shi Yan in her heart, "Bastard." She blushed and hurriedly carried the turtle shell to the third floor.
This guy's body is … not bad. As she hugged him, Zuo Shi commented in her heart.
The third floor was two hundred square meters.
In such a large room, other than the bookshelves, there were some strange jars, jars, and all kinds of ancient wine cups …
After Zuo Shi came up, she took out an ancient book from the bookshelf. After flipping through a few pages, she found that she couldn't recognize a single word.
Shaking her head, Zuo Shi thought, "What a strange person!"
Zuo Shi also had a wide range of interests.
She was fascinated by planting, tea, astrology, medicinal herbs, and refining weapons for a period of time. However, she was too lazy and never let one interest restrict her other interests. Usually, she would only study one thing for a period of time, and then she would be fascinated by another.
Most of the ancient texts on the third floor were related to history and the living habits of the ancient people.
In this aspect, Zuo Shi wasn't interested. She occasionally flipped through an ancient text that she could understand, but after a few glances, she felt that it was boring. In her heart, she was even more certain that Shi Yan had an eccentric temper.
Why do you care so much about the living habits of the ancient people? What does it have to do with you? Is it useful to you?
Zuo Shi curled her lips. She felt that Shi Yan was even more ignorant and incompetent than her.
