Chapter 7 The first encounter between Xingqiu and Shi Lan

---(three years ago)---

One afternoon at the Liyue dock, Xingqiu and his brother were checking the goods that were ready to be shipped for export. The brother was attentively checking each box, checking the quantity and type, and checking the accounts clearly.

The little Xingqiu looked at it eagerly, her heart had already flown to the other side of the mountain, she was very envious of the children playing around.

He squeezed the little book in his pocket and found that his brother was getting farther and farther away from him as he checked the cargo boxes one by one. Xiao Xingqiu seemed to have discovered an opportunity. After looking around, he found that no one was paying attention here.

"Well, this kind of work is still too early for a kid like me."

Xiao Xingqiu then sneaked away.

I ran to the corner, found a stone to sit on, took out the little book I carried with me, and started reading eagerly.

Compared to the complicated work in the chamber of commerce, Xiao Xingqiu yearned more for the chivalrous world of swords and swords in books.

It only takes a while for Xiao Xingqiu to become addicted to it and unable to extricate himself.

I don't know how much time passed, but Xiao Xingqiu felt that the light in front of him was blocked. He looked up and saw three children not much older than himself standing in front of him.

Frowning slightly, Xiao Xingqiu said, "You are blocking my reading."

"Huh?" The three children seemed to have come with bad intentions.

The leading child, who was a little taller, reached out and snatched the book from Xingqiu's hand.

The book was taken away from Xingqiu, who was unprepared, in an instant.

"Yeah, yeah, isn't this the young master from Feishei Chamber of Commerce? His name is Xingsheqiu, right?"

"give me back!"

Xiao Xingqiu stood up and went to grab his own book.

The three children quickly ran away, surrounding Xingqiu in a triangle shape, and threw the books back and forth.

"Hahahaha, I'll give it back to you when I get it!"

"That's right! Who can you blame if you can't get it yourself~"

"You guys! It's so abominable!" Xiao Xingqiu chased the books that were being thrown around. He was so anxious that he almost cried.

The book was thrown around in the air, and Xiao Xingqiu chased it back and forth with his hands raised. The child who caught the book immediately threw it back, and Xiao Xingqiu turned back to chase it.

One of the children received the book, looked at Xingqiu who was panting from exhaustion, and laughed and said: "Let me see what great book the second young master is reading - oh oh oh oh, it turns out to be the Legend of Heroes!"

I thought it was an account book or something about how to make money, but I didn’t expect this to be what I saw. Wow, it’s really unbelievable!”

"Really? Let me see?"

"Hahahaha, it turns out that the young master of the Great Chamber of Commerce also reads this kind of book. It's really terrible. We don't even read this kind of book! Shame on you!"

"Give it back to me quickly!" Xingqiu held his knees and panted. What kind of strength did the pampered little Xingqiu have? He was being played around by three children.

"Hey! You are the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. You must be very rich." The leading child held the book and fanned the little book that Xiao Xingqiu regarded as a treasure like a fan.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"Let's do this, you give us... 50... no, give us 100 moras, and I will return the book to you! How about it?"

Another little boy looked worried: "Hey, Fengjun, are you asking for too much..."

"100 moras...he should be able to afford it...he is the young master of a large chamber of commerce..."

"you……"

Xiao Xingqiu clenched his little hands and pursed his lips in grievance, but his family upbringing prevented him from crying. His eyes were red and he wanted to call his brother for help.

Feng Jun said fiercely: "How about it? If you don't give it to me anymore, I will tear up this book..."

"No!" Xiao Xingqiu blurted out. He had finally asked A Xu to bring that book back. He had hidden it for a long time and hadn't even read a few pages yet. He must not let it be torn.

"Then you pay! How about we sell it to you? For 100 moras, you can buy a super---a very nice copy of "The Legend of Heroes." It's worth it."

"Okay... I'll just pay..."

Xiao Xingqiu's face turned red, feeling endless humiliation, but she had to bow her head.

Reaching out to feel in his pocket, Xiao Xingqiu took out 100 moras and reluctantly handed it over.

"Give you the money and return the book to me quickly..."

Feng Jun took the money, and the three of them huddled together and whispered some more, then turned around and said again:

"Now the price has increased! It costs 200 moras!"

Xiao Xingqiu was stunned, "What? You guys are just raising prices on the ground!"

Feng Jun said arrogantly: "I don't care, you have to give us another 100 moras, or I will tear up the book!"

"That's right! If you can afford 100 moras, you must still have money. I just heard the sound of money in your pocket!"

Xiao Xingqiu clenched the remaining mola in his pocket, his face full of anger.

These 200 moras were what he used to buy grilled tiger fish today. If they were really snatched away by these bad boys, his happiness would be gone...

Even though he is the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, he is just a kid now. How could he have too much money? His brother gave him these 200 moras just to let him come to the dock with him. He didn't expect that he would be raped by a few bad guys now.

The child was snatched away.

However, if you don’t give money, the books will not come back. If you give money, there is no guarantee whether they will ask for more...

What should I do? What should I do?

Brother, come and save me...

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys, please return the books to others!"

Suddenly, a childish voice came from behind the three children.

The three children were also startled. They thought an adult was coming. When they looked back, they saw a little boy who was a little shorter than themselves standing there. He was wearing a brown gown and carrying a cloth bag slung across his body. There was a bulging bag inside.

I don’t know what the outfit is.

They all let out a sigh of relief.

As long as no adults come, it's fine. As for this little brat, just scare him away. Don't delay us from making money.

Feng Jun showed a fierce look on his face and threatened: "Quickly leave! Don't meddle in other people's business! Otherwise we will beat you up!"

To their disappointment, the little boy in front of them showed no fear at all. Instead, he slowly walked over impatiently.

"Where did all this nonsense come from! Bring it here!" The little boy approached Feng Jun and snatched Xing Qiu's book away.

Then he grabbed Feng Jun's arm and swung it to the side. Feng Jun, who was taller, was thrown far away and staggered to the ground, with a look of confusion on his face.

"How did I fly so far?"

The other two little boys were stunned on the spot, looking at him with shock on their faces.

"Here, your book."

Xiao Xingqiu looked at the little boy in front of him. He was also frightened by the child in front of him.

Seeing the other party's kind smile and confirming that the other party really returned the book to him, Xiao Xingqiu quickly took the book and carefully checked whether the book was damaged.

"Thank you." (This person seems to be helping me, but why are his eyes so disappointed?)

Feng Jun, who fell far away, was too confused to react.

For a long time, he blushed and felt insulted. He was actually thrown so far by a child who was not taller than him?

He shouted in anger: "You guys, go and beat him! Get the book back!"

The other two children looked at each other in disbelief, and neither of them dared to step forward.

"Hit him...hey, he is Shi Lan..."

"Who is Shi Lan? If you are told to beat him, go ahead and beat him!"

"You don't even know Shi Lan! He is the little bully who lives on Chihuyan Street...he is so strong!"

"That's right! A few days ago, someone saw him carrying a whole wild boar into the city alone... and I heard that he brought down the wild boar alone..."

"What kind of wild boar! He is only about ten years old and can defeat a wild boar? I don't believe it!"

Feng Jun got up from the ground in a hurry. It was obvious that he had not been beaten in real life. He raised his small fist and rushed towards Shi Lan.

"You are not a big man, but your temper is not small!"

Shi Lan breathed out from his nose. His small figure was majestic and unafraid. He stepped forward and grabbed Feng Jun's collar. He lifted it up and directly lifted Feng Jun up on the spot.

Then he waved his hand and threw Feng Jun out like a piece of rags.

Feng Jun fell in the distance, sitting up in shock again as if he was dying of illness. He looked at his hands and then at Shi Lan Xingqiu in the distance. Only then did he realize that he covered his buttocks and cried loudly. There was no trace of it at all.

He lost his arrogant look just now.

"What a great strength!" Xiao Xingqiu was dumbfounded.

Feng Jun's two friends were like frightened birds and ran away for their lives, fearing that it would be their turn next.

"very scary!"

"Let's run! Shi Lan will throw us into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Wait for me! You two!"

Feng Jun saw his little friend running away, wiped his tears, got up and was about to run.

Shi Lan caught up with him, patted his shoulder, stretched out his hand, and said nothing.

That look said it all.

Feng Jun trembled, and quickly took out the 100 molad he had just extorted from Xiao Xingqiu from his pocket, and carefully placed it in Shi Lan's palm.

Facing this guy who could throw him out with one hand, he couldn't lose his temper.

"That's pretty much it, go home." Shi Lan let go of Feng Jun, then thought of something and threatened: "Don't think about going home to complain. I know where you live, and I know your brother Feng Yan.

As long as I tell your brother what happened today, he will definitely swell your hands."

"Ugh... don't tell my brother! I'm sorry for Xingqiu, I'm sorry for Shi Lan! I never dare to do it again!!"

Fengjun ran away crying.

How could there be such a scary child! I want to go back to Qingce Village, Liyue is so scary...

"Tsk, children are easy to scare." Shi Lan put his hands on his hips and pretended to say, and then silently put the Maura who wanted to come back into his bag, and hacked away Xingqiu's money.

It shouldn’t be too much to receive some reward for doing something brave...

Xiao Xingqiu held the book and watched eagerly as Shi Lan calmly and calmly hacked away his money, closing his mouth tightly and not daring to speak.

Only then did Shi Lan have time to look at him carefully. He had short blue hair with bangs and asymmetrical sideburns. His golden eyes and handsome and cute face showed a slightly nervous look.

He couldn't help but whisper: "I thought it was a girl..."

I originally thought this was a drama about a hero saving a beauty, but I didn't expect that the person he saved was a boy... But this guy Xingqiu looks real... It's very euphemistic...

"The second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, you go out without a bodyguard? If I were a thief, I would rob him too." Shi Lan curled his lips.

Xiao Xingqiu felt aggrieved: "I have bodyguards...I...I just want to be alone for a while..."

"Is that book really so valuable?" Shi Lan curiously leaned over to read it, wanting to know what kind of book Xing Qiu really valued.

"It's very important to me." Xiao Xingqiu hugged the book tightly, fearing that Shi Lan would see the title and be laughed at.

"I saw it!" Shi Lan, who had no vision, said proudly: "No matter how tight you cover it, it's useless!"

Xiao Xingqiu pursed his lips, showed the book, and smashed the jar: ""The Legend of Heroes" is really good! Why do you all laugh!"

Shi Lan scratched his head: "Laughing? I'm not laughing, I'm just saying I saw it."

Then he solemnly said: "I have also watched "The Legend of Heroes"."

Get it right!

Xiao Xingqiu's eyes lit up, as if he had found a close friend, and he said eagerly: "How about it? Isn't the pillow jade in the book very handsome? With a sword to the end of the world, justice is awe-inspiring!"

"Uh... just average." Shi Lan spread his hands.

"Why?" Xiao Xingqiu was very dissatisfied. He was his idol, so how could he be so "average?"

Shi Lanrui commented: "It started well, but it got too ridiculous later on. Zhenyu is just a swordsman, and he doesn't even have the Eye of God. He can actually fight three opponents with the Eye of God by himself. It's not realistic."

Xiao Xingqiu said stubbornly: "In fact, the owner of the Eye of God can also be defeated by ordinary people..."

"How is it possible! People with the Eye of God must be very strong and can rival immortal gods. How can a mortal defeat an immortal god?"

"I don't believe it. If I were a swordsman, I would definitely be able to do it!"

"Really? Are you a swordsman?"

Xiao Xingqiu was dumbfounded, not daring to look at Shi Lan, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "No... my family doesn't let me learn martial arts... they just want me to learn how to do business and read account books."

"Besides, even if you want to learn martial arts, there is no place to learn... the last martial arts gym in Liyue also closed its doors not long ago."

Xiao Xingqiu was very disappointed.

In Liyue, a place with many descendants of immortals and owners of the Eye of God, traditional martial arts schools can no longer survive. Instead of practicing martial arts, many people are more willing to let their boys go into business and earn more money.

It's a hard truth.

If you really want to learn martial arts and become stronger, you can only join the Qianyan Army, but the Qianyan Army also has a special training method that emphasizes teamwork and obedience. It is not a place where heroes can be trained...

The traditional martial arts school is closed, Qianyanjun is too harsh, Xiao Xingqiu's martial arts dream can only be in his dream.

Shi Lan pinched his chin and thought carefully, then slapped his palms and said with a smile: "No, there is another one! There is also a traditional martial arts holy place in Liyue. It depends on whether you have the courage to learn it."

Xiao Xingqiu's eyes suddenly burst into light: "There is another family? Where is it?"

Shi Lan smiled and said:

"That's the Guhua Sect!"

"Guhua Sect..."

Xiao Xingqiu hugged the book in her arms tightly, her heart beating faster and faster.

"Guhua faction!"
Chapter completed!
