In the commotion last night, Meng Yan's identity was not exposed, and he did not have to explain to anyone. However, even if no one else knew about his situation, there was one person who still had to explain.
Going into the library to read books every night was Hu Qingtian's arrangement. Something happened in the library last night, and Hu Qingtian must have been suspicious. Meng Yan had a headache and didn't know how to explain it properly. Hu Qingtian had come directly to find him.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"... He's not dead at last, what's the matter?"
Before Meng Yan could figure out how to explain, this iron-tower-like man had already waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say anything, I believe you can't be that kind of monster. I haven't felt a trace of evil from you.
Maybe others don’t understand, so how can I not understand? I believe in my own vision.”
The words were so categorical that Meng Yan was a little moved. Although he wanted to say that the other party's vision was very wrong, because not to mention that when he used the Jie Seal, his evil energy surged to the sky. Even if he didn't use the Jie Seal, the true blood of all evils flowed in his body.
If there is evil, there will be no evil in the world.
However, it does feel good to be trusted by someone so much. I have to admit that hearing Hu Qingtian say this makes my heart feel warm.
"We are two brothers. I said I recognize you as the boss, so I don't need any extra explanation. I believe you are not a bad person who will do bad things, so I just want to ask you two things. First, are you okay? Secondly, I believe you are not a bad person who will do bad things.
,What happened last night?”
For this reason, Meng Yan couldn't help but express his feelings, so he briefly described how he saw the man in black in the library last night, how he acted righteously, how he fought, and even how he saved people later and how.
Being misunderstood and being stared at, these were mentioned vaguely, but the part about how to channel evil energy was omitted. As for the bloody light and evil wind, he said that he didn't know what was going on.
"...Fortunately, there was a mysterious person who helped me escape. Otherwise, I would have been taken down by others without any reason. It is really baffling. I am a positive character! It was obvious that I was the hero saving the beauty, but in the end, I was penetrated.
Eyes! That Huang Lily is simply crazy!" Meng Yan said: "But I don't know who that mysterious person is. Qian Xuefeng is really a mess. They say it is heavily guarded. All kinds of cockroaches and mice are running in, and no one cares about it.
!”
"It is indeed very dangerous. Fortunately, brother, you are safe. If you had not been able to escape last night, you might have become the scapegoat of the man in black now... Damn it! He is responsible for the bad things, and you are the one to take the blame. It is so unreasonable!
"
Hu Qingtian was indignant and gearing up, which made Meng Yan feel guilty, "Brother, what I said...don't you doubt it?"
"Why do you doubt your brother? Although I am not very smart, I also know that since we are brothers, we must trust each other. You are my brother, and I believe everything you tell me! If I know about his grandmother's
That man in black is really like me, I will cut him to pieces and fry his bones."
"Brother, you... I will remember your favor today and I will definitely return it to you."
Meng Yan was truly touched. This big man was so trusting in his heart. No one else could compare to this trust. For this, he must repay him.
"Brother, when I was fighting, that guy seemed to have recognized Chenwang Shadian. You have been fighting with others recently, so don't use Arhat's power. If the thief recognizes you and targets you, he is secretly hiding you.
Zaiming, it will be very bad for you."
"It makes sense, I will be careful!"
Hu Qingtian agreed and hurriedly left. Meng Yan could see that he was restless, and he was probably planning to do something. All the male servants in Qian Xuefeng were at his disposal, and they had good ears and eyes, so they might be able to help him. Meng Yan didn't intend to stop him from finding out anything, because he didn't have any ideas about the man in black. The guy made himself take the blame and gave him a slap in the face. If possible... he would do the same. I want to stab him back... at least ten times.
After explaining clearly to Hu Qingtian, Meng Yan felt much more relaxed. There was nothing more stressful than human feelings. After solving this problem, he took advantage of the opportunity and sneaked down the mountain.
The gates of Qian Xuefeng are strictly guarded, and there are strict rules. Disciples are not allowed to change orders, and they are not allowed to leave the mountain at will without being sent. Therefore, after Meng Yan entered the mountain, he never came out again. This time he sneaked out to benefit Hu Qingtian. Help, the servant chief had the authority to send people down the mountain to purchase. Meng Yan took this opportunity to sneak to Xuemei Town.
Less than a month later, Meng Yan revisited the old place. Meng Yan didn't have much impression. He just found the alleys and vendors where he had been. Sure enough, he saw a noodle stall there. An old woman with white hair was cooking noodles there. Serving noodles to customers was a busy job, and on the stall made of spliced bamboo pipes, there was a chipped broken bowl containing copper coins. It seemed that it had been open for most of the day, and the business was not bad.
"Master, hello, I'm here to visit you."
"You brat, it's true that you came to eat noodles and take advantage of me. I finally found time to go down the mountain and met you. All the money I earned will be put into it."
"Where are you talking? The one who takes disciples is to take care of the food. Master, you run a noodle stall. How can you be afraid of the guests eating it? I want a bowl of dandan noodles, with more chopped green onion and no coriander."
"Why is this boy so naughty all of a sudden? Okay, okay, sit down at a table, and the old woman will cook it for you right away. If you don't have enough after eating, ask for more."
"Okay, Master, you are the best to your disciple!"
Meng Yan chose a table and sat down, and soon a bowl of hot spicy dry noodles was served in front of him. The fragrant minced meat was sprinkled with green onion, and underneath was bright red chili oil and crushed dried chili peppers, peppercorns, and light The smell of the food whetted Meng Yan's appetite. Without further ado, he raised his chopsticks and ate. In just two seconds, the bottom of his bowl was turned upside down.
The noodle seller did not break her promise. After one bowl, another bowl came. Dandan noodles were originally small bowls, but her cooking skills were unique. Meng Yan ate heartily and ate four bowls in a row like a whirlwind. , the last bowl also added boiled eggs, white and tender water-slippery egg pieces, which tasted particularly delicious. After Meng Yan finished eating, he put the bowl down and let out a long sigh.
"It's delicious! It's really delicious. I know this master is right. Others just want to learn some martial arts to become stronger all day long. In fact, as long as you live, you just live. Even if you really practice peerless martial arts, what's the difference? I deserve the happiness of eating this bowl of noodles."
"The boy talks very profoundly. You can't tell that he is a philosopher of life."
The noodle seller took a rag and wiped the table next to her. Seeing that no new customers were coming, she simply sat down next to Meng Yan.
"Is it really worth it for you to ignore so many masters and choose to recruit me, an old woman, to be your master? I can't teach you anything. Apart from occasionally letting you eat a few bowls of noodles for free, there is no real benefit. You look smart and will definitely have a bright future in the future, why are you delaying your life here?"
"Delay? Who knows where the end of life is? If you become a rich man and an overlord, can you really be proud until the end? Emperors, generals, immortals, Buddhas, demons, all are immortal. Since they will eventually perish, this is the path I will take.
Why are you walking so fast? Why not slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way?"
Meng Yan spoke freely and freely, completely different from his persistence and stinginess in other aspects, but even though he just said it casually, in the ears of the old woman, it made her move, and her eyes even became confused. Obviously, these words brought
The shock was not small, Meng Yan did not disturb him, and watched quietly from the side. After a long while, the old woman sighed.
"You're a special boy. You always say something interesting. Things like the blue sea and admiring the scenery are all theories that I have never heard before. If I had heard them earlier, now... I wouldn't have to sell noodles here... Okay.
, just think of it as a gift in return. What else do you want to eat? The old woman will cook it for you."
"You're welcome. In fact, I really should thank you, Master. If you hadn't acted righteously last night, I don't know what would have happened. Maybe I had been slaughtered, or maybe I killed Qian Xuefeng until there were only a few left.
I’m an individual, but no matter which one it is... I’m determined to run away.”
Meng Yan said with a smile: "So I am really grateful to you, Master, and I am a very humane person. I will definitely repay whoever is kind to me, and I will definitely pay back whoever owes me a debt. Therefore, this favor from Master, I
I have to pay it back no matter what."
"oh?"
The noodle seller glanced at Meng Yan, but said nothing. Then she saw Meng Yan stand up, bend down and salute her again. She was slightly startled and said: "You have so many weird moves, what's this?
What means?"
"This gift is to thank Master for looking up to me and for not insulting my mind by saying stupid things like not knowing or admitting the wrong person. It also saved me a lot of time, so I must say thank you to Master, thank you."
Words were like swords. One word silenced the old woman and cut off her room for maneuver. At this point, she had no choice but to face it directly.
"Why are you sure it's me, the old lady?"
"Master, let's get straight to the point. Disciple, I should confess. I have a secret technique that can make my eyesight like an eagle's. I keep your body shape and skeleton in my mind. Others may not be able to see anything, but I can use this alone to see from you.
I’ll find you in the vast sea of people.”
"...The world is so big, there are really all kinds of wonders, capable people and strangers, crouching tigers, hidden dragons, old women who have not heard about the affairs of the world for a long time, so they are not unjustly punished."
The noodle seller sighed and looked at Meng Yan. Her old and mediocre eyes suddenly became radiant and as cold as a sword, staring straight at Meng Yan.
The sharpness of this look somewhat surprised Meng Yan, but he did not avoid it, and went straight to meet him, saying: "I have no intention of interfering with privacy, but the master is hiding in Qian Xuefeng, hiding himself from the public, but he exposed it for the sake of his disciple."
"Wei Wen, I said that anyone who owes someone will definitely pay it back, and I'm here to return the favor to you today."
"How to pay it back?"
"Then... it depends on what Master wants me to do?"
"...Interesting boy." After a few seconds of silence, the noodle seller smiled meaningfully, "Maybe I can give you a good deal."
