It is human nature to climb high branches, and even these monks are not immune to this.
The place where Zhan Ling'er and Ye Jiuzhou lived was only separated by a wall. She saw so many women dressed up all day long. When she came out of Ye Jiuzhou's house, she felt very angry.
What made her most angry was that Ye Jiuzhou was always lukewarm towards her, but he greeted those women with a smile.
What is this?
Am I not as beautiful as those people?
But she was so angry that there was nothing she could do. After finishing her busy work in the general office tomorrow, she would be ravaged by Ye Jiuzhou's various weird training methods. In the end, she didn't even have the strength to argue.
At first, everyone's focus was on Ye Jiuzhou, but gradually, for some unknown reason, everyone began to focus on Zhan Ling'er.
Originally, this was nothing. Beautiful people easily became the center of attention no matter where they were. But this time it was different. What people were paying attention to was Zhan Ling'er's gossip.
Especially, when someone from outside goes up the mountain, they will definitely bring some gossip about her.
"Now I really want to ask clearly. Zhan Wu intended to betroth his daughter to Ye Jiuzhou, but the boy named Ye was unwilling and refused the marriage in public. For this matter, Zhan Ling'er sought life and did a lot of extraordinary things, so
Only then did the sect master personally give the order and demote him to the miscellaneous room."
"I see! Let me tell you, the sect leader cares so much about this little girl, why did he demote her to work as a handyman for no reason? It turns out that she is not upright!"
"I can't say anything. Apart from being pretty, how can that bitch compare to us? No matter how beautiful she is, the sect master should be tired of seeing her. Sooner or later, she will be demoted. This time she just looked for it.
It’s just a reason.”
"I heard that the relationship between this little girl and the sect leader is unusual, hehe."
"No way, the sect leader is a family man!"
"Yes, but the lord's wife's belly is not what she wants!"
…
There is no airtight wall in the world. These words soon reached Zhan Ling'er's ears. Late at night, a man ran to the martial arts field to vent his anger.
"Today's training goal has been completed."
Looking at Zhan Ling'er running tirelessly, Ye Jiuzhou also sighed.
Zhan Ling'er didn't seem to hear it, and kept running. It was only one lap, and she had already fallen several times, but she still didn't care. She got up and continued running.
She couldn't figure it out.
What on earth did I do wrong? I want to be suspected!
Moreover, rumors were flying all over the sky, and now the entire Qingming Sect regarded her as a woman who could not get married, or even a slut with inappropriate behavior.
"I told you not to run away!"
Seeing that his words had no effect, Ye Jiuzhou suddenly rushed out and stopped directly in front of Zhan Ling'er.
Zhan Ling'er was unprepared and ran directly into Ye Jiuzhou's arms, falling to the ground.
"you……"
Zhan Ling'er looked stunned. She didn't expect that a person could be so fast.
That day, when Ye Jiuzhou took her out of the small dark room, she was already unconscious, so she didn't notice it.
"It's useless to punish yourself. If you want to punish, punish those who hurt you."
Ye Jiuzhou said straight to the point.
"You put it lightly. How can I punish so many people? What's more, I...I'm just a handyman now."
Zhan Ling'er said a little aggrievedly.
"Since we can't punish, let them shut up."
"Use your strength to shut them up."
Ye Jiuzhou said: "I'll teach you a set of steps, see clearly."
After that, without waiting for her to understand, he started to demonstrate. Jingye Jiuzhou didn't move his upper body, but took a slight step, sometimes taking a step to the left, sometimes taking a step to the other side. It seemed chaotic, but the speed was different.
unusual.
After a while, it had moved a hundred feet away.
Zhan Ling'er was so happy that she forgot all the unhappy things for a while, clapped her hands and said, "That's great. If you learn this trick in the future, you won't have to worry about being caught up by others."
Hearing this, Ye Jiuzhou almost fainted.
"This set of steps was passed down to me by my master. I improved it a few years ago. Although I can't say that it is unparalleled in the world, it is enough to control the whole world. You actually want to use it to oil the soles of your feet? Never do it again.
Say you are my apprentice!"
As he spoke, he shook his head.
At this time, Ye Jiuzhou already regretted accepting this apprentice.
Although Li Duo is not very smart, the key is that he is willing to endure hardships, but this Zhan Ling'er is really not good at anything.
"But isn't the step just for escaping? Can it be used for anything else?"
Zhan Ling'er pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Of course it has other uses."
Ye Jiuzhou said: "Haven't you heard that when you teach boxing, you don't teach footwork, you teach footwork to hit the master? When you are in a close combat, the outcome is often just a matter of inches. When the opponent punches you, you take a step back.
, first get out of the opponent's attack range, and then suddenly step forward and give him a punch, what do you think will be the result?"
Zhan Ling'er tilted her head and thought for a while, then immediately clapped her hands and said, "This is great. From now on, I will be the only one who hits people, and no one else can hit me."
"That's it."
Ye Jiuzhou nodded, "Don't forget what I taught you before. Every time you dodge, you are accumulating strength for the next counterattack."
…
The two of them talked to each other, chatting about various details of their steps, completely unaware of a figure quietly observing on the rockery not far away.
"Sure enough, it's really from outside!"
The moonlight shone slantly on this man's face, and he could see that his hair and beard were all white, but his appearance seemed to be less than forty years old, and his appearance was impressive. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.
And this person is none other than the leader of Qingming Sect, Wang Shaokun!
Although he is the leader of Qingming Sect, in fact, the things he can control are very limited.
Not to mention anything else, the eighteen elders from the outer sect alone were enough to give him a headache.
It can be said that these eighteen people all have ulterior motives.
Needless to say, the nine elders of the inner sect are more cunning than the last.
Such a huge responsibility all fell on the shoulders of Wang Shaokun alone.
It was precisely because of the great responsibility and great pressure that he grew old at a young age.
But he cannot fall, because he knows in his heart that once he collapses, Qingming Sect will fall apart, and by then, this last barrier will be gone.
Although he stayed close to Qingming Sect, he knew everything about the outside world.
Just from this set of steps, it can be seen that this person is definitely from the outside world.
"What was supposed to come has finally come, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse!"
He sighed and moved his eyes to Zhan Ling'er again. There was a hint of tenderness in his originally confused eyes.
