"Ahem, cough, cough, I am also concerned about the chaos. Please don't blame me, Elder Nie Yun." Father Shen finally scratched his head in embarrassment after being silent for a long time.
"It's understandable that Uncle Shen loves his daughter so much." Nie Yun sighed faintly. What could he do if he didn't understand?
"Ahem, but I still need to go back and ask my father about the master-disciple matter." Father Shen coughed twice, then returned the bright moon in his hand to the scabbard of Nie Yun's sword as if nothing had happened, and explained:
"I just got home tonight, and I don't know much about what happened to my little girl recently... But if Elder Nie Yun is indeed in a master-disciple relationship with my little girl... I will definitely apologize."
"...There's no need to apologize. Uncle Shen just returns my elixir to me." Nie Yun twitched the corner of his mouth, straightened out the wrinkled skirt of his clothes, and said helplessly.
"Uh... This is natural." Father Shen was stunned, and quickly handed over the two pills he was still playing with unconsciously, and said: "But I still need to apologize. It's better to choose a day than to hit it. It's better to come to the house. Let’s have a few drinks and talk about my apologies. My father happens to be here too.”
Haha, aren't you still doubting me... Nie Yun sighed helplessly, nodded and said: "Okay, it just so happens that I haven't seen Elder Shen Dan for a long time."
"The elder invites you!"
...
In a slightly simple but spacious hall.
The mahogany round table was filled with exquisite wine and food, but none of the three figures beside it moved their chopsticks.
The two of them bowed their heads in silence, while one blew his beard and stared, dancing.
"You treacherous son! Even if you can't go back home even once a year, you actually beat up Ling'er's master as soon as he came back this time!" Elder Shen Dan looked at Father Shen who was sitting on the desk, bowing his head in silence, and raised his index and middle fingers together. , kept hitting him on the head, and muttered: "See if I don't teach you a lesson!"
Nie Yun also remained silent because he was afraid that he would laugh out loud as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Dad, wasn't it that I was anxious when I saw Ling'er going home with a strange young man?" Father Shen received the "care" from his "old father" in front of others, but his face finally became a little uneasy, and he said angrily: " How do I know that Ling'er will suddenly become a disciple of a young man?"
"How did you know?" Elder Shen Dan said, slapping Father Shen again with his sword finger, spittle flying from his mouth: "You said 'how do you know' about your daughter?! You thought I would do it after becoming a general? I can’t touch you anymore???”
"Hey, no, Dad, although I am at the border, I have always been concerned about Ling'er's news!" Father Shen's huge figure hugged his head aggrievedly at this time: "Until the beginning of the year, I plan to go back When we go to Beijing, we can’t receive any news from Ling’er on the road, okay?”
"Who knew that in just a few days, Ling'er would suddenly learn alchemy and even become a master..."
"How dare you speak so harshly!" Elder Shen Dan's eyes widened slightly, but the movements of his hands quietly slowed down: "Elder Nie Yun is the youngest elder of our Alchemy Association, and it would be great for Ling'er to have him as his teacher. !”
"Yeah, yeah." Father Shen nodded quickly: "It was me who was abrupt this time."
"Ahem, it doesn't matter. Uncle Shen loves his daughter very much. It's me, and I will do the same." Seeing Elder Shen Dan looking like he was done with the beating, Nie Yun finally coughed lightly and said, "Elder Shen Dan There is no need to be so harsh."
"Humph, since Elder Nie Yun has spoken for you, I will let you go this time." Elder Shen Dan rubbed his sore fingers without leaving a trace, silently put them behind him, and turned around and said: " Elder Nie Yun, since you and I are both elders of the association, we should treat each other as equals, so how can we call Quanzi uncle?"
Um???
Father Shen's eyes widened slightly: What do you mean? I want to call a young man about the same age as my daughter uncle?
Huh? Let him call me uncle? Nie Yun's eyes also opened slightly, but there was a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
But in this case, Ling'er and I are directly two generations apart... uh... she's only one year younger than me! It's not that bad!
Nie Yun shook his head subconsciously, cupped his hands and said: "Elder Shen Dan, you are the senior and I am the junior. Even if we are both elders in alchemy, we are just colleagues. How can we talk to each other as equals? If you insist on speaking, I There may still be two generations behind you, but considering that I am Ling'er's master, how about I shamelessly call Ling'er's father my brother?"
"I think this is a good move." Father Shen immediately decided and concluded the matter: "Then I, Shen Ding, will be the eldest brother of Nie Yun from today on! If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me by name!"
As he spoke, he patted Nie Yun on the shoulder, looking very generous.
...I only said that I would call you brother, but I didn’t say that I would let you be my eldest brother... Nie Yun sighed silently, but it was hard to say anything at this point, so he could only respond helplessly: "Thank you then. More than Brother Shen Ding."
"Haha, you are Ling'er's master. I should thank you for leading her to alchemy." Shen Ding smiled and shook his head: "Otherwise, no one will inherit the alchemy skills of our family, so why not?" I know how worried dad will be."
"I really need to thank Elder Nie Yun for this." Elder Shen Dan also smiled, thinking that in order to make her only granddaughter interested in alchemy, she used all kinds of methods, but in the end it was just a dead horse. The doctor asked her to work as a receptionist at the Alchemy Association, and she was already thinking about finding a direct disciple to pass on her skills.
As a result, things suddenly turned around. Not only did the association have a successor, such a young elder appeared, but his granddaughter also suddenly became interested in alchemy.
The only fly in the ointment is that Ling'er didn't learn from him directly, but that doesn't stop him from passing on some of the Shen family's housekeeping skills to her.
What's more, maybe Ling'er can combine the strengths of "hundred schools of thought" and achieve great success.
"That's it. Come on, brother, I want to toast you a glass." Shen Ding said as he picked up the wine glass on the table.
"This is also the reason why Ling'er is interested in alchemy." Nie Yun raised his glass and sipped lightly.
Jingle bell bell~
Suddenly, there were bursts of silver bells ringing outside the door, followed closely by a voice as sweet as the silver bells.
"Dad, you're back!"
"Haha, let me see if my baby Ling'er has gained weight." Shen Ding walked out of the round table with a smile at the same time. He came to the door in a flash, spread his arms, and put the blue swallow-like breast into his arms. The figure was held in his arms and held high.
"No, Ling'er has lost weight!" Shen Ling'er's red lips curled up slightly, and then she suddenly stretched out two jade fingers, pinched the tip of her delicate nose, and said disgustedly: "Eh~ Daddy is so annoying, as soon as he comes back Just drink!”
"Didn't I meet your master, so I drank two more drinks? Well, it's gone now." Shen Ding shook his head helplessly, and as his energy surged, his drunkenness dissipated.
"Huh? Master?" Shen Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she jumped down from Shen Ding with a flutter, looking around with her big eyes.
"Ling'er, here." Nie Yun smiled and waved.
Shen Ling'er's bright eyes blinked at the "old father" with a smile on his lips, and then stretched out a slender jade arm to push him aside, revealing the white-robed figure behind him.
Shen Ding's smile froze, but Shen Ling'er was surprised and ran all the way to sit next to Nie Yun:
"Master, it's you, haven't you left?" As he said this, he couldn't help complaining: "When someone asks you to come in as a guest, you don't come in, but when my father asks you to come in, you come in!"
Haha, do I want to come... If I don't come, I'm afraid your father will think I have a guilty conscience. Nie Yun stroked his forehead helplessly: "Isn't it that your father is too enthusiastic? It's hard to refuse such kindness..."
"Haha, that's right, little brother Nie Yun and I hit it off right away." Shen Ding didn't have time to feel too melancholy. He first winked at Nie Yun, then hurriedly smiled and agreed.
He didn't want to have to be educated by his daughter after being criticized by his old father...
"Ah? Can dad and master hit it off right away?" Ling'er raised her beautiful eyebrows and glanced at Shen Ding who was smiling suspiciously: "Don't dad like boys with thin arms and legs the most?"
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Shen Ding waved his hand casually, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and said slowly: "I just don't like people who can only use their pens, and what they say is better than what they sing. , but he’s just a guy who can’t stand my punch.”
"Master, have you ever punched me?" Shen Ling'er opened her eyes slightly and her voice rose.
"Cough cough cough cough cough." Shen Ding was stunned. In a hurry, he could only pretend to be choked by wine to hide his embarrassment, while thinking about how to cunningly... no, it was an explanation.
"How can it be possible?"
At this time, it was Nie Yun who smiled and spoke to save Shen Ding: "Your master is not a weak scholar at first glance, he is very capable of fighting!" As he said this, he lifted up his sleeves and bent his arms. Revealing the strong biceps hidden underneath.
Shen Ling'er didn't think that her father would really beat Nie Yun out of nowhere, so she didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, she curled her red lips and said with a smile in her eyes, "That's it?"
"..." Nie Yun's mouth twitched: "That's it."
This means that you are a girl, otherwise I will show you how high and low you are!
The arrival of Shen Ling'er instantly enlivened the atmosphere at the round table. Before you knew it, the moon was already at its zenith.
After a while of greetings, Nie Yun stood up and cupped his hands: "It's getting late today, so I'll go back first."
"Let Ling'er see you off." Elder Shen Dan said with a smile.
Seeing Shen Ling'er's happy expression, Nie Yun did not refuse. He nodded slightly and followed Shen Ling'er who was jumping up and down out of the hall.
.......
"Brother Nie Yun is really outstanding." Shen Ding looked at Nie Yun's leaving figure and suddenly sighed.
"The youngest alchemist of the Alchemy Association, what do you want to say?" Elder Shen Dan glanced at his son lightly.
"No, I'm talking about his martial arts cultivation." Shen Ding shook his head and said in a deep voice: "At this age, he has been born out of the six meridians, and he has mastered the sword of the mind. His body skills are close to the limit of being born again, and even his fighting consciousness and Their experience is first-rate. Even if they are behind bars, they will not panic and will calmly look for every opportunity..."
Elder Shen Dan tilted his head and looked at his son with some surprise.
This was the first time he heard such unabashed praise from his son, who had a higher vision than anyone else.
Even when it comes to evaluating the "Blood Pagoda" Zhao Gou who is equally famous as him, he has never done this...
"You are qualified to be Ling'er's master." Shen Ding exhaled slightly: "But..."
"Huh?" Elder Shen Dan made a sound of doubt.
"But isn't the age difference between the two of them too small?" Shen Ding said with a bitter smile: "We get along all day and night. I'm afraid they will come up with some other tricks."
"Haha, isn't that great?" Elder Shen Dan's lips curled up slightly.
"Huh???" Shen Ding's eyes widened slightly: "I just recognized him as my brother!"
"Hey, let's just talk about what's wrong." Elder Shen Dan turned his head away and said casually: "You are more pedantic than an old man like me."
Shen Ding was stunned.
After standing still for a long time, I didn't know what I thought of. The corners of my mouth suddenly curved slightly, and then I turned around calmly... This chapter has been completed!
