It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

For the vast majority of teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen

Thinking is inertial and one-way.

They tend to only look ahead and feel the present and the present moment.
And the few smart people,
They will pay attention to the sides and the back and have the awareness of self-correction

Those who pay attention to the top and the bottom,

They all have a three-dimensional and comprehensive worldview and can be described as elites selected from a hundred.
But, to truly see into your own heart,

He will definitely become a one in a million king, and once the time and conditions are ripe, he will become a local lord.
Lu Yuan is not a fortune teller.

However, a small "anecdote" is enough to test their understanding.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Turn around."

The fifth and sixth brothers didn't understand why, but they still did as they were told.

Lu Yuan asked: "What about now? What do you think is moving?"

The two children spoke in unison.
"The wind moves! The leaves move!"

Lu Yuan walked up to them and asked slowly:

"You didn't see them, how do you know they moved?"

The two brothers of the Zhu family hesitated to speak.

They seemed to realize that the benefactor was not concerned with the trees and the wind, and they frowned and thought hard.
Zhu Ping An said:

“The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop…As long as there are trees and wind, it is moving whether you see it or not.”

Well, this kid's comprehension is obviously slightly higher than his two uncles.

At this time, sitting on a small stool,

Miss Paifeng, who was doing the mending, said jokingly:

"If you ask me, the wind and the trees moving are all caused by my own chaotic mind..."

Unexpectedly, the puzzle was solved by a maid.
Lu Yuan looked at the other person again.

Miss Paifeng felt embarrassed and packed up her sewing basket to go back to her room.

But I heard Lu Yuan ask:
"Don't go. Do you want to learn martial arts?"

what! ?

All the dolls in the audience were shocked.

Lao Liu begged for mercy and paid the money, but the benefactor was still vague and unclear.
Why would he be willing to teach a servant?

Pai Feng was even more shocked and stood there in shock.

What?
Did I hear it right? My benefactor wants to teach me martial arts?
But, but, I am just a lowly maid...

Lu Yuan smiled and asked again,
"If you want to learn martial arts, I'll teach you!"

Pai Feng pointed at his heart and asked in disbelief:
"My benefactor, are you willing to teach me martial arts?"

Lu Yuan nodded.
Pai Feng asked again: "I am a woman..."

Lu Yuan said calmly: "My martial arts can be practiced by both men and women."

If she had not personally experienced the experience of "sitting on a woman's arms without being tempted", Miss Paifeng would really have suspected that her benefactor had other intentions.

At this time, Zhu Yanzhao was not convinced.

"Hey! Why? She didn't pay!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I paid for it."

"Nonsense, when did you hand it in? Why didn't I see it?"

Picking up the ten taels of silver, Lu Yuan said:
"No, this is it."

Zhu Yanzhao almost laughed out of anger: "How can you be unreasonable, benefactor! This is obviously my money..."

"That's right! It was yours just now, and if I give it to you, it's mine, right?"

Zhu Laoliu hesitated for a moment, but had to nod.
Lu Yuan continued:

"Miss Paifeng helped me clean the house and brought me tea and water.

I can use this ingot of silver to reward her, is that okay?"

This is definitely no problem.

Lu Yuan threw down the silver and said with a sly smile:

"Now that the silver is back in my hands, it means Miss Paifeng paid the money!"

Zhu Yanzhao scratched his head and felt a little bit annoyed.

Zhu Ping'an was a smart kid who said directly, "My benefactor must like Pai Feng girl, he is biased!"

Pai Feng's face turned red.

Although she is an adult, she is still a young girl.

As for love between men and women, I have only fantasized about it in beautiful dreams.

It was so embarrassing to be exposed by the young master in public.

Lu Yuan admitted openly:

"A smart, hard-working person like Miss Paifeng should be liked by everyone, right?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

However, Zhu Yanzhao was still unconvinced and deliberately asked:
"So, my benefactor, what you mean is that Pai Feng girl is a true martial arts genius?"

Lu Yuan did not hesitate and nodded in response: "Yes!"

"Hahaha!"

The whole audience burst into laughter, and Zhu Laoliu laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Haha, funny, really funny... martial arts wizard... haha!"

Everyone in the village knew that besides sewing, Paifeng was also good at

First, he had never practiced martial arts, and second, he had never touched a sword or a gun. He was a complete martial arts novice who was powerless.

Pai Feng felt his face burning.
Apart from making beds and sewing, she really knew nothing about martial arts.

I don’t know what my benefactor is thinking... Is he trying to make fun of me?
The next moment, Lu Yuan's voice sounded.
"You don't agree, right? Do you want to compete?"

Although Zhu Yanzhao is a young man, he still wants to save face.
"A good man does not fight with a woman,
Besides, it's completely incomparable to knock someone down with just one slap, right?"

Lu Yuan said confidently:
"Without investigation, you have no right to speak. How do you know you'll win before the competition even starts?"

The young boys were very surprised.
Look at Lao Liu's strong body, and then look at Pai Feng who is frail and weak.

They almost all looked "absurd".

What you said is too exaggerated.
There is such an obvious difference that even a three-year-old child can see it, okay!
Lu Yuan said:

"It seems that you all don't believe it. Well, fetch three mats of lamp grass and you will know after a try!"

The children enjoyed watching the fun and immediately went to find mats.

The straw mats were quickly brought, rolled up, tied, soaked in water, and then hung under the big elm tree.

Everyone didn't understand what the benefactor was going to do?
Lu Yuan took Han Liangchen's sword and said to Zhu Yanzhao:
"Wait, I'll cut the mat first, and you and Miss Paifeng will learn to do it again, understand?"

Looking at the confused Paifeng girl with wide eyes, Zhu Yanzhao nodded without hesitation.

"understand!"

Lu Yuan looked at Pai Feng: "What about you?"

Pai Feng was a little nervous and asked weakly:

"I've never practiced swordsmanship... Let's not compete..."

Zhu Laoliu was unyielding and shouted:
"No! Paifeng girl, you must compete!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you just need to watch carefully!"

Pai Feng could only say helplessly:
"Okay, I'll listen to you, benefactor!"

Lu Yuan stood in front of the first bundle of straw mats, slowly raised the knife above his head with both hands,

In his eyes, the straw mat became an enemy that pounced on him with bared fangs and claws.

"what!"

As Lu Yuan shouted, he chopped diagonally with both hands... "Swish"!
A flash of cold light passed by, and the hanging straw mat did not move at all...

Zhu Yanzhao thought it was funny.
I'm going!

I thought it was so powerful because it was so pretentious, but it turned out to be "three no touches"...

"Pfft~~"

The straw mat suddenly broke, and the lower half fell under the tree with a "click".

Ah!
What's going on?

Zhu Yanzhao and Zhu Yanpu had both learned martial arts and were familiar with swords and spears.
But they had never seen such a magical scene.
Zhu Laowu hurried forward to check.

The cut of the straw mat is at a standard 45-degree angle, and the cut surface is extremely smooth without any roughness.

Especially the lower half of the straw mat, which fell a few seconds later.
It felt like the previous knife strike had occurred a few seconds earlier. It was incredible.

Zhu Yanzhao also changed his opinion of Lu Yuan.
My benefactor is indeed a martial arts master. What my nephew Ping An said is right, he is amazing!

As a boy, he naturally has a competitive mindset.
He immediately stood in front of the second straw mat, eager to try.

Lu Yuan handed him the sword and stepped aside.

Zhu Laoliu imitated Lu Yuan and held the knife with both hands, slowly raising it above his head.
He thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and then slashed diagonally at the straw mat.

"puff!"

The sword only penetrated three inches into the grass mat and failed to cut it.
The cuts were jagged, as if they had been gnawed by a dog. The young boys all made “hush” sounds.

"Hey, Lao Liu, what's going on?"

"You didn't eat? How shameful!"

Zhu Yanzhao blushed and said quickly:

"That doesn't count. I'm just not used to using this knife... Wait for me to get my own knife..."

"It doesn't matter, it's up to you!"

Zhu Laoliu handed the knife to his benefactor and ran to get the weapon.
Lu Yuan took the sword and handed it to Pai Feng: "Here."

Pai Feng held the hilt of the knife, feeling somewhat at a loss.
"My benefactor, can I really do this?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Do you believe me?"

"I believe in you, my benefactor... But how can I do it?"

"In fact, martial arts is very simple.
All you have to do is close your eyes, calm down, recall my movements, and believe that you can do it. "

Pai Feng asked in surprise, “That’s it?”

"that's all!"

Lu Yuan gave an affirmative answer and reminded: "There is nothing in the martial arts world that is indestructible except speed!"

Somehow, Pai Feng felt warm inside when he looked at the other person.

The benefactor's attitude was very kind and peaceful.
There is absolutely no sense of condescending discrimination, nor is there any sense of male superiority over female inferiority.
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever given her such high praise... a martial arts genius!
Can a lowly maid really become a one in a million master?
Well, since my benefactor said it’s okay, then it should be correct!
She followed Lu Yuan's instructions, closed her eyes, and tried hard to recall what she had just seen.

At this time, Zhu Yanzhao came running over panting, holding a precious sword inlaid with jewels.

This knife can cut iron like mud. At least, it can cut through copper coins without bending the blade, that's true!
With such a magical weapon, a mere straw mat can be cut in half with one stroke!

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

When the lamp grass mat is wetted with water, its flexibility and strength are improved.
It is very close to human muscle tissue and is perfect for testing knives.

Zhu Laoliu's sword is hard enough, but not tough enough.
In addition, his breathing was uneven and the angle was not well controlled.
After one cut, the depth of the cut was even less than the first one.

Zhu Yanpu felt that this was too embarrassing, so he rushed forward and snatched his brother's sword.

"Old Six, get out of the way. I'll do it!"

Lu Yuan did not stop him and let the boy try.

"Break!"

The fifth brother of the Zhu family was a little stronger, and the incision was more than half deep.
It was obvious that his angle and speed were not right.

Lu Yuan glanced at Pai Feng.
I found that the other person had a calm expression and a straight figure, and seemed to be immersed in the "scene replay".

Just this meditation effort,

They are more than a hundred times stronger than those stupid boys from Zhu family!
I wish you, Old Five, Old Six, you take one strike, I take one strike, we take turns chopping,
After much difficulty, I finally managed to cut it off, but the straw mat was covered with scars and was completely unsightly.

The Zhu brothers knew that they could not compare with Lu Yuan.

Then you can only regain your face and self-esteem through others.

"Paifeng girl! Don't just stand there, come and chop me!"

"Oh! Here it comes~~"

Pai Feng opened her eyes and met Lu Yuan's gaze.
She held the knife, felt the encouragement and affirmation from her benefactor, and walked towards the third blade of grass.

Standing still, looking at the straw mat,
At a certain moment, in her stream of consciousness,
Lu Yuan's image seemed to overflow from his body and enveloped her.

Then, Pai Feng closed his eyes.

According to the memory in the stream of consciousness, I slowly raised the sword.

In the moment of holding your breath,

A flash of inspiration came to my mind,

The 200 billion neurons in her brain were all awakened.

Yeah!

Is this... sword intent?
Pai Feng suddenly realized the essence of martial arts: speed is the only way to be defeated!

The heart is there, the hands come down!
A blinding cold light suddenly surged!
"Break!"

The straw mat split open and broke into two pieces.

"Snapped!"

The lower half of the grass was swept away and fell to the ground.
It rolled twice and stopped moving. The cut was very smooth and the speed angle was acceptable.

"Wow!"

Four or five young boys exclaimed in unison!

Impossible... Is this even possible?!

Lu Yuan smiled slightly.
As expected, Miss Paifeng's martial arts understanding was activated.

Although the speed is not as fast as mine, the sword energy is already there.
Fighting ten at once is still easy.

The Zhu brothers looked at each other, feeling indescribably frustrated and lost.

As the young master, he is not as good as a servant. He has lost all his dignity...

Pai Feng looked at everything in front of him, feeling mixed emotions and tears welling up in his eyes.

Ahhhhh!
Unbelievable!

She really did it, everything her benefactor said was true!
Perhaps it was the long-term frustration, or perhaps it was the pride in my heart.

She swung the knife again, "Swish!"

Half of the straw mat fell down, and before it hit the ground, there was a "whoosh!"

With three consecutive cuts, the straw mat was rolled into a pile of grass clippings, which scattered everywhere.

What a fast knife!
Finally, the children applauded and cheered!

"Amazing!"

“Paifeng is awesome!”

Soon, the news that Pai Feng had become a martial arts master shocked the entire Zhu family manor.

"Is this true? Pai Feng can perform knife skills now?"

"Of course it's true. It was my benefactor who pointed it out to me. It's amazing!"

"Yes! The coaches in the village are no match for him..."

"Wow! Paifeng girl is rich now!"

Zhe Jinhua was also alarmed and called Pai Feng over to question him.
"How did the benefactor teach you?"

Pai Feng told the whole story.
"How did you suddenly learn it?"

"Old Madam, I don't know how I did it... It seems like it was always the same..."

Zhe Jinhua was amazed.
"It seems that this is your destiny...

Well, since you have great abilities, it is not appropriate for you to be a maid anymore…”

After saying this, Zhe Jinhua handed Pai Feng the "indenture of sale" to him.

"Girl, from now on, you are free!"

Pai Feng held the "indenture" in her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks, and immediately knelt down in front of Madam Zhu.
"Without the old lady, I would have starved to death.
Pai Feng is willing to serve the old lady for the rest of her life!"

There are two reasons why Zhe Jinhua did this.

First, give Lu Yuan face. After all, he and Pai Feng have a "master-disciple relationship".
Secondly, Pai Feng's ability is here.

If I really want to leave, I don't think anyone in the village can stop me.

It is better to do a favor, establish good relations with each other, and leave a good reputation.

Seeing that Pai Feng wanted to stay to repay her kindness, Zhe Jinhua said with a smile:

"Water flows to the low places, people go to the high places, why are you doing this, girl?"

"Zhuangzi is Paifeng's home, please help me, old lady!"

Zhe Jinhua's eyes flickered, and she asked, "But are you sincere?"

Pai Feng replied without hesitation: "God is above, Pai Feng speaks from the heart!"

“Well, all right then!

So, if you have no objection, I will adopt you as my adopted daughter, how about that? "

These days, adopted sons and daughters are quite common.

Although he could not share the master's property, he was still half the master in name.
At the very least, their status is much higher than that of a servant.

Pai Feng knew Zhe Jinhua's character.
If you are just being polite and not explaining it in detail,

Obviously, this was the old lady's decision, and both parties would benefit from this move.

With a martial arts master, the power of Zhu Family Manor will be even stronger.
At the same time, the demonstration effect of the valuable horse bones made the servants more devoted and devoted to their work.

"My daughter Paifeng, I bow to thank my godmother!"

"Good good!"

Zhe Jinhua laughed heartily: "Someone, come and prepare the banquet quickly!"

In the name of adopting a goddaughter, Zhe Jinhua invited Lu Yuan to a banquet and established the relationship between him and Zhu Paifeng as master and disciple.

At the banquet, everyone was congratulating him.

Suddenly, a gong was heard from the top of the city wall, warning of an enemy attack!? (End of this chapter)
