Sudden.

He seemed to realize his own gaffe.

Lu Yu looked at Duan Dutou again, who had not moved at all from beginning to end, but just pursed his lips, with an expression that no one knew what he was thinking, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

He realized that he had 'overstepped'.

The reason is that after he discovered the true martial arts of 'Duan Dutou' that year.

He could also become Duan Dutou's only apprentice besides Ji Xiu.

Not just because he passed the test.

More importantly, it was because he knew the rules and never leaked any information about Duan Dutou to the outside world.

Even his father, the owner of Lu Zhuang who opened 'Lu Zhuang' and managed several businesses and places in the county!
They all knew very little about the intricacies of this matter, and only thought that this 'Duan Dutou' was a martial arts master who had entered the realm of skin refining.

But in fact.
Only he knows.
This person, at the very least, has made some success in skin refining, and even developed an 'external energy'!
If not.
When he saw me that year, how could I remain untouched by the rain?!

only,
It’s not really his fault that he behaved so abruptly and inappropriately.

After all, when it comes to martial arts training, aptitude is really not important.

No matter how strong your physique is, can it compare to taking medicinal baths, pills, or even consuming a lot of natural treasures and heavenly materials all day long?

Without resources, no matter how strong your physique is, it’s all empty talk.

but,
But there is only one exception.

That is, talent.

He has a superior understanding of the classics
He is the only one who can rely on for someone who comes from a humble background and has the potential to become a martial arts master.

at first,

When Ji was practicing sword.

Lu Yu also saw that Duan Dutou just thought that this boy had a strong character and was willing to risk everything and go all out, so he was a good material, so he took pity on him and gave him a chance.

But he was only given a period of 'half a year'.

It's determination.

For a poor boy like him who has no master, no foundation, is busy all day long and doesn't even have the conditions to practice swordsmanship, he can't make any progress in half a year.

In the end, one can only accept his fate with shattered hopes.

Can be biased.
Ji Xiu broke this 'cage'.

servant?

Whose servant is this!
How could we leave such a "martial arts genius" who works so hard, getting up at five in the morning, serving, raising horses, practicing swordsmanship, and being such a serious and hardworking guy to be ordered around?

It's so blind!
"I must find out the reason in the next few days."

He took a deep look at Ji Xiu.

Lu Yu left without looking back.

Because he knows,
If he stays today, it would be a sign of ungratefulness.

"Ah."

"It's quite good."

"Go light the stove and cook."

There was silence for a long time.

No one knew what the purple-robed warrior was thinking. He just said "hmm" and pointed to the kitchen, ordering Ji Xiu to cook as usual.

As for Lu Yu's departure, he didn't even raise his eyes.

Seeing this, Ji Xiu didn't say much. As usual, he inserted the knife into the weapon rack, then held a bundle of dry firewood, and started to make a fire, slaughter fish and stew meat.

Fortunately, I had some knowledge of cooking in my previous life.

otherwise,
These days, the leader eats a lot of meat and fish every day, with four dishes for every meal. I'm not sure if he can make the food to suit his taste.

After a while

There is stewed pork belly with a milky fish soup, a plate of crispy and tender chicken feet, and a dish of crispy fried broad beans.

While Ji Xiu was swallowing his saliva, he brought them to the stone table next to the weapon rack and arranged them one by one.

He also took a jar of wine from the cellar and brought it to Duan Dutou.

After a few days of observation.

Ji Xiu discovered that this gentleman liked to eat chicken feet with wine when he ate, and he could always drink more, so he deliberately catered to his taste.

Finish the chores.

Even though these dishes were made by him, they were filled with fragrance.

Ji Xiu also suppressed the gluttony in his stomach, endured the hunger, and calmed his mind. He was about to take a broadsword from the weapon rack and take advantage of this rare opportunity to practice a few more times.

however,
Duan Dutou, who had never called him to the table in the past few days, spoke this time:

"come over,"

"sit."

He stretched out his chopsticks and pointed at the stool opposite:

"Later, when we eat,"

"You can add a pair of chopsticks for yourself."

Duan Dutou didn't say much.

But it cheered up Ji Xiu.

During these few days, even though Duan Dutou gave him some pointers occasionally, the time was too short and Ji Xiu simply couldn't figure out how to practice it.

Although, there is nothing special on the surface.

But Ji Xiu could keenly perceive it.
The sensory changes that he had managed to experience in front of "Duan Dutou" a few days ago were fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A moment of pity and affection cannot last a lifetime. Ji Xiu understands this truth better than anyone else.

In the beginning, it was the 'disciples'.

but.
If he continued at this pace, within half a month, he would be regarded as a true 'servant' by Duan Dutou.

By then, there would be no difference between him and the 'groom' in Lin's house!

Fortunately.
After he had mastered the 'Tianhe Sword Technique' in advance and successfully mastered it, he was able to turn things around for himself.

At least, now in Duan Dutou's eyes, he has been recognized, has gained a firm foothold, and has completely established himself as a "disciple".

As for the rest,
If you need it, keep working hard.

You have to eat the rice one bite at a time.

The road must be taken step by step to keep your feet on the ground!
Ji Zheng sat upright, his mind distracted.

Although Duan Dutou asked him to sit at the table,
He didn't move his chopsticks or speak a word.

I really don’t dare to move!
"Sixteen years old, six days, the beginning of swordsmanship."

"With this gift." "Go and ask your Senior Brother Lu to become his subordinate. He can not only help you tear up the slave contract, but also help you rise to the top. From now on, you will no longer have to endure the cold eyes of others."

“Maybe you don’t know what this means.”

"I'll tell you,"

"With just one word from him, you can earn a monthly salary of ten or ten thousand silver coins, have meat and blood for every meal, live in a large house, and have three or five idle people to serve you at your service."

"From now on, I am considered superior."

"If you wish, I can take you there. When the time comes, you can pay him a great respect and kowtow, and the matter will be settled."

"In the future, I will have some free time to hone my sword skills."

Duan Dutou took a bite of the roasted meat, chewed it carefully, and suddenly said.

After hearing this, Ji Xiu was stunned.

这是
Are you pointing the way for yourself?
He had to admit.

I was moved.

Just by lowering your head and helping out, you can get such benefits, and it is also easy to get things done because you have connections in the court. You don't have to live in the Lin residence, where your life is in danger at any time.

Where can you find such a good thing as a pie falling from the sky?
but,

When Ji Xiu looked at Duan Dutou's calm expression, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Just now, when I was learning the basics of swordsmanship, the reaction of this person and Senior Brother Lu was definitely not ordinary.

Perhaps, for a warrior, this is a remarkable achievement, otherwise, who can get such a good job?

But in fact, if you really have such "value".
Then in the future, the relationship between me and Lu Yu will become more and more familiar.

When the time comes, he will take the opportunity to make the first move. It doesn't matter whether Duan Dutou shows up or not, he can still get this job.

Moreover, with the familiarity we have gained in the past few days.

Ji Xiu thought to himself that these words did not seem like Duan Dutou's character.

More like.
A temptation.

So he considered it carefully.

In the end, I took the risk and said:

"I don't want to."

Duan Dutou raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised.

He took another careful look and found that he did not see any joy on the face of this poor boy who had received the "huge wealth", so he could not help but ask:
"Oh? Why?"

"You know, there's no such store after this street."

There was a hint of inquiry in his words.

"I worked as a groom at the Lin residence, selling my body for only three taels of silver, not even one-third of the monthly salary that Master Duan mentioned."

"I should be ecstatic."

"Can"

"Six days of sword training has taught me to see these things clearly."

Ji Xiu took a deep breath, and after rejecting the "huge benefit", he became calm and spoke at a steady pace.

"Being the groom of the Lin family or the servant of Senior Brother Lu, in the final analysis, there is actually no difference. It is nothing more than escaping from one 'cage' to another 'cage'."

"The way out of martial arts training should be to demonstrate one's own value, so that others will treat you with courtesy and humble themselves to make friends with you."

"That should be 'friends', 'retainers', 'comrades'."

"But not a servant!"

"There is a world of difference between what you ask for and what you invite."

"I am free from restraints and my martial arts are limitless. If you want to be my guest of honor, you should be my servant!"

“This is a road,”

"But this is not the path Ji Xiu wants to pursue."

"Brother Lu is not here, so I was wrong to say so many 'outrageous' words."

"Master Duan, please eat first."

"I'm going to practice swordplay."

After saying that, Ji Xiu apologized and was about to put down his chopsticks.

At this time, Duan Dutou stood up and held him down:

"sit down."
