Chapter 18 The Reunion of the Old Ones

The process of registering the results of swordsmanship in the government office was not as interesting as Miao Yuqin imagined, but it was just a bit more serious and formal than ordinary village leaders.

At this time, the two had completed their registration and were walking on the streets of the city.

The streets of Muxi City North District are bustling with crowds, showing a lively scene. Although Chen Shaobai and Miao Yuqin have gradually developed a deep homely nature in recent years, they are both in their teens after all, and they always feel happy when they see some novel things.

After spending only half an hour shopping, Chen Shaobai had two bulging bags on his hands, filled with all kinds of snacks, toys, household items and food.

Naturally, the famous city's specialty - Mu'era fruit is indispensable.

In order to maintain his own sword practice efficiency and to supplement Miao Yuqin with nutrition, Chen Shaobai luxuriously bought nearly 50 pieces at one time.

The three osmanthus trees in the city have grown and declined this year, and the price of their fruits has also risen. These mere fifty osmanthus fruits are worth 150 taels of silver.

Fortunately, the store was open enough, the owner had a broad vision and knew the silver notes of Wanjilou. Otherwise, Chen Shaobai would have to go back to Siheyuan to withdraw money.

However, a weapon shop then bought Sun Kai's nameless sword at a price of 150 taels, which greatly improved the family's property.

"After cutting Sun Kai off the sword, I figured out his body skills day and night. Now I feel that my swordsmanship has obviously improved a lot. At this speed, it will take a few years to break through and become a swordsman, right?"

After looking at Miao Yuqin, who was becoming more and more beautiful and moving beside her, Chen Shaobai's thoughts were changing.

"I bought too many things today. Let's go home?"

Looking at the two heavy and bulging bags on Chen Shaobai's hand, Miao Yuqin knew that her fiancé would not let her carry things, so she suggested understandingly.

"Not heavy, we still haven't bought anything. By the way, I always want to see what the legendary Yaoqin looks like. It's better to choose a day than to have a day. Let's go and have a look now!"

Chen Shaobai hooked the two packages on his hook, looking like he still had enough energy.

Miao Yuqin was able to pass on his grandfather's medical skills intact, so she was naturally a smart person. She could see through Chen Shaobai's true intention at a glance, so her pretty face turned slightly red and she no longer refused: "Well, I'll listen to you."

The Liyue Pavilion, which sells Yaoqin, is also located in the city street in Beicheng District, so although there are many people here, the two of them arrived at their destination in just half a quarter of an hour.

As soon as he arrived at the pavilion, Chen Shaobai had not had time to observe its appearance, a piano sound burst out, as if it had turned into the strongest notes in the world, resounding throughout the attic, which made the pedestrians stop and listen involuntarily.

Chen Shaobai and Miao Yuqin are no exception.

Afterwards, the piano player did not disappoint. The low and gentle sound slowly rose, gradually like a storm of waves. Although the tune was beautiful and noble, it was a unique sonorous. Listening to this tune, Chen Shaobai seemed to hear the story of an unvalued woman who relied on her own hard work and gradually became a genius.

Another World version of Mulan?

Chen Shaobai's eyes lit up: "Although I don't know much about piano, the piano player should be a woman from three great families, and she now has a great reputation. Xiaomiao, what do you think?"

At this time, the tone suddenly became quiet and gentle.

Miao Yuqin did not answer his words positively for the first time, with a little confusion in her big watery eyes: "This sister is obsessed with swordsmanship and wants to use swordsmanship to improve her status, relax her mind and seek freedom. But... why...why does she feel confused?"

The little loli spoke very lowly, and even the redness between her eyebrows became much dimmed. However, Chen Shaobai had extraordinary hearing, but he caught this in his ears without falling to the ground, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"This is the legendary Boya Ziqi? No, it feels even more. This is already the category of mind reading? Or... a spiritual chain?"

The fiancée's reaction made Chen Shaobai more interested in the piano player who had never been masked. He had thoughts but failed, so he held a weak and boneless little hand: "Don't be stunned, don't you want to see what the young lady who is in tune with you looks like?"

"But..." Miao Yuqin instinctively refused to communicate with strangers, but Chen Shaobai took her hand and walked upstairs after she was halfway through her words.

...

There are only two women in the piano hall on the second floor of the Li Yue Pavilion.

One of them was dressed in plain clothes and dressed as a maid. He looked down on his eyebrows, but his eyes never left the other woman for a moment.

Surveillance means far more than care.

A sharp, feminine but neutral voice came from the mouth: "Miss Second, it's getting late, it's time to return to Chen's mansion."

That’s right! The other woman is the second lady of the Chen family in Muxi City, Chen Mengxuan.

At this moment, Chen Mengxuan was still wearing an apricot yellow skirt, which seemed not much different from two months ago. She sat on a square armchair decorated with gorgeous patterns, with her jade hands twirling the strings back and forth, and turned a deaf ear to the maid's words.

"I came from a side room, my mother died early and was discriminated against, so I decided to practice swords at the age of eight."

"Practice day and night, and you will never work hard. I have become a swordsman for twelve years."

The tune gradually became passionate.

"Miss Second, it's getting late."

The maid's voice was much more angry than before.

Her words were still ignored.

Chen Mengxuan was confused and remembered the slightly arrogant hunter boy who was killed by Chen Wei two months ago, and then remembered the news of Chen Wei's defeat in the sword fight with someone yesterday, and her eyes suddenly felt confused.

"A murderer will always kill people. The path of swordsmanship is indeed much more difficult than Congwen... And because of swordsmanship, the aunt also put a spy next to me, and almost all food, clothing, housing and transportation are controlled by others. Do I really need to continue practicing?"

"I have practiced swords for three years and lost my sword for three days. Once I put down my sword skills, it will be difficult to regain my swordsmanship."

"I have ordinary qualifications, but I can only get to this day by relying on diligence. Can I really become a swordsman and be free in the future?"

The sound of the piano suddenly became lower, and it became like the deep girl's sniff.

Chen Mengxuan's piano skills were extremely skilled, and she looked ahead with her eyes blankly, but her hands did not stop at all.

Suddenly, a young man wearing a white dress and a bronze sword broke into his eyes. In her eyes, the appearance of this young man gradually became one with the hunter boy who was killed by Chen Wei two months ago, and there was almost no difference.

"ghost?"

Chen Mengxuan immediately jumped behind her, floating lightly like a white cloud, stepping on the base pillar on the second floor and leveraging the force. The long sword pierced obliquely, and half an inch of strong wind suddenly escaped from the tip of the sword and swung towards the person coming.

People who practice swordsmanship have been subtly influenced by years of hard practice. Even if they meet evil ghosts, most of them will kill them first.

boom!

A thunderous sound exploded from the ground, and the wave of air generated directly made the half-inch Li Jian Gangfeng blew into nothingness.

"Miss II, how do you entertain old friends?"

Chen Shaobai held a bronze sword in his hand, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but it was not because he saw Chen Mengxuan, the "old friend". But...

Just now, he was hit by a similar sneak attack in the flash, and he burst out half a foot of sword energy in an instant.

You know, in the past, this half-inch of Qi required Chen Shaobai to use the sword momentum for a moment before he could barely exert it.

Don't underestimate this change. If it is placed in a swordsmanship battle, it is very likely that it is the difference between life and death.

After all, no one would stand there stupidly, let Chen Shaobai's fortune be sting again.

It has only been two days since the last sword fighting, but his strength has already made a qualitative leap, and his sword skills cannot be the same as before. If he faces Sun Kai again, Chen Shaobai will be confident that he can defeat the other party without any damage.

However, when Chen Mengxuan was still brewing her verbal attitude awkwardly, the petite and weak Miao Yuqin actually spoke first...
