"I heard from my brother-in-law that your swordsmithing skills are quite good. Ever since then, merchants who pass by like to buy a few swords from you."
Yan Zhengfeng said as he looked at the swords in the shop. A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes because the quality of Ning Qi's swords was indeed top-notch among mortals. Who would have thought that a small town like Bluestone Town could have such a capable person?
However, for cultivators, these swords with no fluctuations of Dharma power were still mediocre.
"You flatter me, Brother Chen."
Ning Qi said lightly.
Yan Zhengfeng smiled and said no more. The atmosphere in the shop became somewhat quiet. After about 10 minutes, Yan Zhengfeng took out a sword, threw 20 taels of silver to Ning Qi, and turned to leave. With that, he walked out of Bluestone Town.
Another seven or eight years passed. It had been nearly 20 years since Ning Qi came to Bluestone Town. Chen Huan grew from a three-year-old child to a young man as strong as a calf. Ning Qi's appearance also changed from 17 or 18 years old to 37 or 38 years old today.
Chen Asan's hair had already turned white. When Ning Qi came to Bluestone Town, he was already in his forties or fifties. After nearly twenty years, he was already close to seventy years old, but his body was still very healthy, not much different from when he was at the beginning.
Chen Huan, who originally liked to walk around the sword shop, spent most of his time at home after Yan Zhengfeng left and rarely went out.
Ning Qi could already feel a trace of spiritual energy fluctuations from his body.
Yan Zhengfeng said that he taught Chen Huan a way to strengthen her body, but in fact, it was the art of cultivation!
Chen Asan seemed to be unaware of this, and Chen Huan had no intention of mentioning it. Ning Qi naturally pretended that he had never seen it.
"Boss Ning, a few days ago I said that I would introduce a virgin to you. Now that her family is here, would you like to meet them first?"
An old woman walked into the sword shop and said with a smile when she saw Ning Qi.
"Granny Zhao, I told you that I like to be alone. Don't bother with these things for me in the future. Here are some tonics that I can't finish alone. Take them home."
Ning Qi said helplessly. He took out a paper bag from the counter and handed it to the old woman. Granny Zhao took the paper bag without hesitation, but her lips were still moving up and down, "Boss Ning, you've been in our Bluestone Town for almost twenty years, right? Tell me, when you were so young, there were so many girls who liked you. Even the young ladies from the big cities sent people to ask me about you.
She wanted to take you as her son-in-law, but you refused. Now, you're already in your thirties, and you don't want to get married at all. In another seven or eight years, do you think there will be any virgins willing to marry you? "
Ning Qi nodded as he walked Grandma Zhao out.
After Granny Zhao left, Chen Asan walked into Ning Qi's shop with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. He stood side by side with Ning Qi and looked in the direction that Granny Zhao had left. "Little Qi, Granny Zhao is here again?"
"Yes."
Ning Qi nodded.
"She's right. You have such good conditions, and you've sold countless swords over the years. You should have found a wife and started a family a long time ago. Otherwise, with your extravagant spending, you won't be able to keep the money you earn for more than a few days. If you give it to those child beggars, which girl will be willing to follow you in the future?"
Chen Asan advised.
"Brother Chen, I haven't seen Xiao Huan recently? Where did he go? "
Ning Qi stealthily changed the topic.
As expected, Chen Asan's attention was immediately diverted at the mention of Chen Huan. He said with a wry smile, "A few days ago, this kid said he was going to roam the martial world and ran away without saying a word. If he comes back next time, I'll break his leg. Roam the martial world with his mediocre skills? I hope he doesn't die out there! "
Mediocre?
Ning Qi saw Chen Huan leave quietly on the day that he came to Ning Qi's shop to say goodbye. At that time, Chen Huan's cultivation was already at the second level of Qi Refining, which was enough for him to roam the world.
Chen Huan also asked Ning Qi to take care of Chen Asan while he was away. After all, Chen Asan was already old.
Ning Qi was silent for a long time and only said one sentence, "Go back to Bluestone Town when you're tired."
At that time, Chen Huan's eyes were filled with tears as if she was very reluctant to leave, but she still held back her tears and quietly left Bluestone Town.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. I think Xiao Huan is a lucky man. Nothing will happen to him."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Chen Asan nodded.
At this time, two beggars, a boy and a girl, walked over from the side of the street. The boy was about eight or nine years old, and the girl was only five or six years old. Her black hands tightly grasped the corner of the boy's clothes and followed him closely, afraid that they would get lost.
On the other side of the street, a few fine horses galloped over under the shouts of the knights, causing curses from the surrounding shops.
These knights were all carrying weapons, obviously swordsmen and chivalrous men. They only dared to curse in low voices, not openly, lest they invite disaster.
The two groups of people, who originally had nothing to do with each other, immediately started cursing because the female beggar subconsciously ran to the middle of the street to pick up a bead that fell from her body, startling the horse running in front and almost throwing the knight off.
The male beggar subconsciously shielded the female beggar behind him. After the female beggar found that the bead was not damaged, she carefully put it away and looked at the knights with some fear.
"You two beggars want to die?"
The knight, who had almost been thrown off his horse, felt a little embarrassed. He kicked them, and the two thin bodies flew into the air, landing heavily at the corner of the street.
When the people on the street saw this, although they didn't like the beggars, they felt indignant when they saw the knight bullying the weak.
However, they didn't dare to say anything.
"Bei Meng, are you alright?"
The male beggar struggled to get up and checked the female beggar's injury. After finding that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Brother, you're bleeding."
Bei Meng looked at the corner of the male beggar's mouth and stretched out her hand to wipe it.
"I'm fine."
The male beggar shook his head and dodged the little girl's hand, then pulled her up.
"Wow, your skin is quite thick. You're still alive?"
The chivalrous man who kicked felt even more embarrassed and wanted to continue beating the two beggars.
"Warrior, they're just two beggars. Why are you so angry?"
A voice was heard.
When the people in Bluestone Town heard this voice, they basically knew who it was.
"Boss Ning's kindness is acting up again. Doesn't he know that we can't offend these swordsmen? He's killing people for no reason!"
"Xiao Qi, don't make a sound!"
