In Ning Qi's courtyard. Ning Qi was sitting on a chair. Bei Xiao was massaging his back while Bei Meng was massaging his legs. The two of them glanced at Ning Qi from time to time, trying to see if he was angry about their disappearance for the past twenty years. However, Ning Qi's expression was still the same. He was always smiling, giving off the feeling of a spring breeze.
The feeling of a spring breeze.
The old man's head was now lying in a corner of the courtyard. Yan Zhengfeng and Chen Huan were sitting opposite Ning Qi.
Yan Zhengfeng looked at Ning Qi with a strange expression. He was trying to recall the scene when he first met Ning Qi. He was just an ordinary person!
How could he have two such powerful disciples?
Perhaps Bei Xiao and Bei Meng's way of addressing Ning Qi had caused Yan Zhengfeng to misunderstand. They called Ning Qi 'Master', but in reality, it was just a simple form of address. Ning Qi had never taught them anything, not even swordsmithing. However, when Bei Xiao wanted to see it, Ning Qi wouldn't refuse.
"So you two are Bei Xiao and Bei Meng. Before my father left, he said that you two would definitely come back. I didn't expect that you two would save us as soon as you came back …"
Chen Huan sighed and then felt a little ashamed.
Chen Asan had left and almost killed Ning Qi when he came back. Compared to Bei Xiao and Bei Meng, it was really embarrassing.
"You are Uncle Chen's son, Chen Huan?"
Bei Meng asked curiously.
"Yes."
Chen Huan nodded.
"Uncle Chen is a good person. It's a pity that if we came back earlier, Uncle Chen might have …"
Bei Meng sighed softly.
"Life and death are decreed by fate."
Ning Qi said calmly.
Bei Xiao nodded subconsciously. She suddenly realized that although Ning Qi was just a mortal, he was sometimes even more indifferent than an immortal.
"Brother-in-law has lived for more than eighty years. It's enough. Speaking of which, today's incident is all because of me …"
Yan Zhengfeng smiled bitterly.
"Uncle, we are a family."
Chen Huan looked at Yan Zhengfeng and said seriously.
"Ah, I don't know what has happened in these past few years, but there are so many mysterious experts in Liyang City. This time, I only argued with someone for a while, but I ended up attracting such a fatal disaster. The old man who attacked today is merely a servant of my enemy. Perhaps I can't stay in this land for long …"
Yan Zhengfeng sighed.
"There are also many people in Bluestone Town."
Chen Huan nodded.
Bei Xiao and Bei Meng looked at each other, and Bei Meng suddenly said to Ning Qi with a smile, "Master, we've come back to take care of you. Why don't you pack your things and come with us? We know a place with verdant hills and limpid waters. It's very suitable for you!"
"I've stayed in Bluestone Town for many years. I don't want to leave."
Ning Qi smiled and shook his head.
"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. With me and Big Brother here, no one can bully you."
Bei Meng nodded.
"Erm, may I know who you are …"
Yan Zhengfeng suddenly cupped his hands towards the two of them, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Bei Xiao glanced at Yan Zhengfeng indifferently. "Your enemy has a powerful background. You might be able to escape if you leave this place now."
After that, no matter how Yan Zhengfeng asked, Bei Xiao did not speak. She just focused on massaging Yan Zhengfeng's back like before.
Seeing this, Yan Zhengfeng smiled embarrassedly and did not dare to lose his temper. He cupped his hands towards Ning Qi and left.
Chen Huan looked at Ning Qi and then at Bei Xiao and Bei Meng. When he was about to leave, Ning Qi suddenly said, "The night your father left, he asked me to take good care of you. Xiao Huan, if you need anything, come and knock on the door."
"Thank you, Uncle Qi!"
Chen Huan cupped her hands solemnly.
Yan Zhengfeng didn't leave as Bei Xiao had suggested. Perhaps Chen Huan had persuaded him, or perhaps he wanted to stay in Bluestone Town and think that Bei Xiao and Bei Meng would help him for Ning Qi's sake. He thought that staying here would be safer. Ever since Bei Meng took the old man's head, a few strangers came to Bluestone Town from Liyang City. They wandered around the sword shop for a while and then left. Nothing happened for a long time after that, and Yan Zhengfeng's enemy did not show up again. It seemed that things had passed just like that.
Many people in Bluestone Town were talking about it enthusiastically. They all said that the two beggars that Boss Ning had saved had become immortals. Otherwise, how could they have beheaded someone with a flying sword?
Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, another seven or eight years had passed.
In these seven or eight years, Bei Xiao and Bei Meng did not look old at all, which made the people of Bluestone Town even more certain of their identities. Many old people in Bluestone Town regretted their decision. If they had known this would happen, they would have married their daughters to Bei Xiao. Now, they did not dare to rashly propose marriage. Ning Qi no longer forged swords. Just like Chen Asan, he would sit in front of the shop and watch the passersby with a smile. Occasionally, he would visit other shops. As for the sword forging, he handed it over to Bei Xiao. Just like before, he would sell one sword every six months. The business of the sword shop became better.
Unknowingly, it became better again. Every six months, there would be hundreds of people coming to the sword shop to buy swords.
The people of Bluestone Town said that Bei Xiao was better than her master. In fact, most of the people who bought the sword were above the Qi Refinement Realm. None of them were ordinary people. After they heard that Bei Xiao and Bei Meng were Human Immortals, they naturally hoped to buy a sword personally made by a Human Immortal.
"Grandpa Qi!"
Chen Xi ran into the shop from the silk shop across the street. Chen Huan had been back for about 15 to 16 years. Chen Xi had also turned from a milkboy into a strong and energetic young man. However, Ning Qi could not see any signs of cultivation from him. Chen Huan did not teach Chen Xi how to cultivate.
"Xiaoxi, why aren't you helping your father in the shop? What are you doing here?"
Ning Qi sat in a rocking chair and chuckled.
His face was covered in wrinkles and he was already in his eighties.
"My father can handle everything by himself, so I came to see if Grandpa Qi needs my help with anything," Chen Xi said with a grin.
Chen Xi said with a grin. His eyes scanned the interior of the store as though he was looking for something. Very quickly, when he saw Bei Meng come out, his face flushed red. He said in a reserved manner, "Aunt Bei Meng."
Bei Meng looked about the same age as Chen Xi, but Chen Xi knew that she was already in her forties. This was something that Chen Huan had specifically instructed him to do, as she was afraid that Chen Xi would spout nonsense and offend her.
"Xiaoxi, why aren't you helping your father in the shop? What are you doing here?"
Bei Meng said subconsciously.
Chen Xi felt a little helpless. Why did Aunt Bei Meng say the same thing as Grandpa Qi? He could only run back into the silk shop, looking back repeatedly.
Although a young man was trying his best to hide his thoughts, who could see them?
At this moment, a group of immortals walked past the door. When Bei Meng saw them, she could not help but frown. She muttered to herself, "The world is getting more and more chaotic."
"Yeah."
Ning Qi nodded calmly.
