Jiang Keer's tone was full of the confidence that she longed for. This kind of thinking, which was overflowing with humanistic care and started from one's heart, rather than everything revolving around gods... suddenly made Gongsun Xiaotao intoxicated.

Although she had heard that Dongsheng Shenzhou was also full of various problems and was a place full of disasters.

But if there is a chance, if there is an afterlife, she must be reborn here.

At least here, she can live her own life.

"Stay here for now. The Novice Village will protect you," Jiang Ke'er smiled mysteriously. "Besides, it's been so long and the pursuers haven't arrived yet. Maybe they have given up."

"The Killing Hall will never give up," Gongsun Xiaotao shook her head in despair. "Maybe they have temporarily encountered some obstacles and canceled the mission, but they have already seen me enter this fishing village... From this moment on, they will send a steady stream of assassins here. You are all ordinary people and have no power to fight back."

"Who's afraid of who?" An old man's angry shout suddenly came from outside the door, "Come on, let's see which is harder, our hoe or their knife! You want to burn someone's little girl just because you hit a broken candlestick? That's outrageous!"

The village chief pushed the door open angrily, and Gongsun Xiaotao then discovered that a large group of villagers were already standing outside the door.

Even though Jiang Ke'er asked them to go out and stay away, they still disobeyed and hid behind the door to eavesdrop, and heard the conversation clearly from beginning to end.

The village elder stomped his cane, his white beard trembling as he shouted angrily, "At worst, we can die together! But you want us in the Novice Village to watch someone die without helping? Impossible! Otherwise, you won't be able to hold your back straight even in your coffin!"

40. Junior Sister

The people in remote areas are often tough and the ideological qualities of the residents are at two completely opposite extremes.

Fortunately, the villagers in the Novice Village chose the extreme of kindness.

Although she seemed foolish and naive due to her lack of experience, Gongsun Xiaotao was still deeply moved.

It would be nice if I could live here forever.

But she knew that disaster would soon strike.

Although she didn't understand why the pursuers hadn't arrived yet, she would continue to persuade the villagers to leave until they were safe.

After closing her eyes and thinking for a moment, Gongsun Xiaotao came up with an idea.

It seems that this village is centered around the old village chief and the beautiful woman in front of him, and they listen to them very much.

The old village chief is very old and stubborn, so it will be difficult to persuade him.

Looking at the beautiful and intelligent canine demon woman, she is obviously more sensible and easier to persuade.

Therefore, she decided to start with the canine demon woman, thinking that as long as she could convince her, she would be able to convince these villagers to evacuate.

Seeing that Gongsun Xiaotao's stay or departure had been decided, Jiang Ke'er stood up and prepared to leave.

He stood up, and the enthusiastic villagers consciously made way for him... The villagers respected knowledgeable people. In their eyes, Jiang Ke'er, who sat at the door reading newspapers all day and could also forge iron and repair fishing rods, was the wisest man, so they should respect him.

However, at the end of the crowd, a naive young man was still standing on tiptoe, curiously wanting to check the situation in the house. As soon as the crowd dispersed, he fell on his face to the ground.

Jiang Ke'er felt amused and deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "What are you looking at?"

She thought that Pei Min had indeed reached the age of love, and Gongsun Xiaotao was indeed pretty and cute, so maybe he fell in love with her at first sight?

"Master, what you just said was so cool! It's not like you!" However, Pei Min didn't even look at Gongsun Xiaotao. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ke'er excitedly and imitated Jiang Ke'er's tone, saying, "'This is the territory of the Tang Dynasty...'"

Snapped.

Jiang Keer covered Pei Min's mouth with a slap.

"Okay, stop flattering me," Jiang Ke'er said helplessly, "Go back and rest quickly, you still have many classes tomorrow."

"Class?" Gongsun Xiaotao, who was lying on the sickbed, seemed to have seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked, "Sister, are you a teacher? Are you still accepting students?"

Jiang Ke'er saw through Gongsun Xiaotao's intention to get close to her at a glance, but Pei Min didn't.

Before Jiang Ke'er opened her mouth, Pei Min answered: "Although my master is far inferior to Jiang Ke'er in every aspect, she is definitely the best teacher in the world besides Jiang Ke'er!"

"Can you please stop talking about Jiang Ke'er all the time? Did Jiang Ke'er teach you swordsmanship? Have you ever met Jiang Ke'er? You praise her all day long?" Jiang Ke'er was furious.

"Although I have never met her, Jiang Ke'er is a hero of our entire demon clan!" Pei Min said stubbornly with his neck erect, "And I will definitely meet her in the future and learn swordsmanship from her! Don't worry, Master, you will be very proud by then, and maybe she can even give you some pointers!"

"How could I accept such an ungrateful person like you!"

Gongsun Xiaotao smiled softly and said, "Then I wonder if I can become your disciple."

"If you have something to tell me, just come to the blacksmith shop at the east end of the village and find me. There's no need to beat around the bush," Jiang Ke'er said bluntly. "I'm sorry, but I don't like to accept apprentices."

Gongsun Xiaotao's face froze. She felt a little embarrassed that her thoughts were seen through, but at the same time she was shocked by the other person's ability to see through her thoughts.

But... How could such a smart woman not understand the seriousness of the problem? Why did she risk her life?

Gongsun Xiaotao became even more curious, and she wanted to get closer to Jiang Keer more and more eagerly.

Sensing Gongsun Xiaotao's complicated gaze, Jiang Ke'er glanced at her calmly and said, "Stop joking. This is a pure love story about Long Aotian and a single female protagonist, not a harem. Even if it is a harem, I will chop it into minced meat and let the book die violently, so your curiosity is meaningless."

"What are you thinking about all day long?" Qiao Xiaoxian walked over helplessly, holding Jiang Ke'er's hand, and then looked at Gongsun Xiaotao and said, "If you have any problems, just come to the east end of the Novice Village [Ordinary Blacksmith Shop for Interest] to find us. We can talk about taking in apprentices later."

"Master, please accept it..." Pei Min pouted and whispered, "I want to have a little junior sister..."

"I want a junior sister who can punch my balls! I think you look like a junior sister! Why don't you wear a little skirt to class tomorrow!" Jiang Ke'er glared angrily.

"Forget it then..." Pei Min lowered his head in horror.

Qiao Xiaoxian chuckled when she saw this, and leaned close to Pei Min's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, let your Master Shui give birth to a little sister for you in the future."

? !

Jiang Keer heard it.

She suddenly felt that the whole fox was in trouble again. The bomb that had been hanging in her heart seemed to suddenly start jumping left and right, and it might break free from the rope and fall down at any time.

"What? You should come to report at 7:00 tomorrow morning," Jiang Ke'er looked at Gongsun Xiaotao seriously, "You must come."

Gongsun Xiaotao: “?”

********

Pei Min ran to the door of the clinic early in the morning, his face flushed with shame, and he paced back and forth nervously, as if he was waiting for something.

Gongsun Xiaotao had already seen him from the window.

She felt embarrassed by the young man's love-struck appearance.

It's not that she is narcissistic. Even a dull person can see that there is something wrong with Pei Min's current condition. In addition, she and Pei Min are of similar age, so it's easy for her to think in that direction.

After washing up, Gongsun Xiaotao walked out of the clinic.

As a result, Pei Min rushed over as soon as he saw him. His enthusiasm made everyone around him show meaningful enthusiasm.

"Um, Junior Sister, can I stand behind you?"

"Ah?" Gongsun Xiaotao was slightly stunned, not understanding what this was Dongsheng Shenzhou's latest way of picking up girls.

If you don’t understand, ask. She asked, “Why?”

Pei Min's face suddenly turned as red as a ripe tomato.

Just when Gongsun Xiaotao thought Pei Min was about to speak his mind.

Pei Min mustered up his courage and spoke his mind. He pointed ahead and said, "There is a snail at the intersection."

"...?"

"It's blocking my way. I can't get through. Please accompany me." Pei Min's face was serious and he didn't look like he was joking.

"Ah? Ah? Okay... okay..." Gongsun Xiaotao didn't understand what this strange reason was, but she still decided to do as Pei Min said for the time being.

The two walked side by side to the intersection. Gongsun Xiaotao bent down curiously and gently pinched the snail shell.

“No!” Pei Min screamed, staring at Gongsun Xiaotao’s hand with eyes wide open, and suddenly pulled Gongsun Xiaotao away, roaring, “Stop it! You bastard snail! Come to me if you have anything to say!”

But nothing happened.

Gongsun Xiaotao picked up the snail easily, put it in the grass by the roadside with a smile, and looked at Pei Min: "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Pei Min stared at her blankly, and suddenly, he said solemnly:

"From today on, you are the second person I admire besides Jiang Ke'er."

"What about your master?"

"Hmm..." Pei Min pondered and counted on his fingers, "One, three, five, seven..."

After a while, he started bending his toes again.

After a while, he started counting the leaves of the grass by the roadside.

Finally, I just started counting my hair.

About half an hour later, he scratched his head in pain and said, "I'm sorry, I can't figure it out."

41. Sword Dance

Everything in Dongsheng Shenzhou brought excellent senses to Gongsun Xiaotao, whether it was the enthusiastic and upright villagers, the somewhat strange but inexplicably cute Pei Min, and the Master Shui who said no but finally agreed to her request.

That was why she didn't want all of this to be destroyed by the Huangtian Sect. The mere thought of such a scene made her so terrified that she couldn't even think.

"arrive."

In fact, the clinic was very close to the blacksmith shop and the village was small, so they could have reached their destination long ago.

But Jiang Ke'er had clearly told Pei Min that she would never allow him to go to school early and wake her up, so they had to walk slowly to buy time.

"I'm telling you, Master is very lazy!" Pei Min leaned close to Gongsun Xiaotao's ear and whispered, "I once came in early and climbed over the wall, and I saw Master sleeping in under the scorching sun... Master loves to sleep in! He always sleeps when there's no business!"

"If you say that, be careful or your master will punish you." Gongsun Xiaotao chuckled.

"It would be better if the master punished me!" Pei Min's eyes sparkled. "The master's punishment is to teach me to understand the truth. I don't know where the master gets so many novel ideas. I've never seen her think of..."

Although he said that he did not worship that master at all, Pei Min kept chatting with Gongsun Xiaotao about the story of cultivation.

This made Gongsun Xiaotao even more curious about Master Shui.

She looked up and first saw the conspicuous plaque above the shop - [An ordinary blacksmith shop for hobby].

Uh, it's really called this name, it's really, quite... ordinary...

Then she saw the sign on the gate.

【Qinglian Sword Sect】

This name is finally more normal, and it even sounds nice.

However, the name also shows that the village is isolated and narrow.

It is obviously not even as big as an ordinary martial arts school, but they dare to call themselves the Sword Sect. If this were to get outside, they would definitely be laughed at.

However, Gongsun Xiaotao did not laugh, but became more worried.

She must persuade the villagers to flee from here.

"Come in," Jiang Ke'er said with a smile as she opened the gate and let Pei Min and Gongsun Xiaotao in.

"Pei Min, you continue to use the tip of your sword to help the ants move. I'll talk to her." Jiang Ke'er said.

"Master, the ants have been forced to move eight times this week, and the queen ant is so scared that she has difficulty giving birth."

"Then go and have a normal birth."

"Oh..." Pei Min squatted obediently beside the ant nest.

Gongsun Xiaotao stared blankly at Jiang Ke'er and Pei Min. She felt that her thoughts were not in the same dimension as theirs and it was difficult for her to understand them.

"Okay, let's talk about the tuition first," Jiang Ke'er took out a piece of paper, "No matter how long you plan to study, the tuition is one magic crystal per month."

"Okay," Gongsun Xiaotao had no objection and directly took out a magic crystal and handed it to Jiang Keer.

Although this was a considerable amount of money for her, she risked it to save the villagers here.

"Hey, Master, you haven't collected tuition from me?" Pei Min asked in surprise.

"Then collect it now and take the money." Jiang Ke'er rolled her eyes at Pei Min.

Pei Min wanted to slap himself ten times for talking too much.

Naturally, he couldn't take out the money, so he could only pretend not to hear it and lower his head, concentrating on helping the queen ant give birth naturally, and he would pay it back when he had the money later.

Jiang Ke'er quickly put away a magic crystal and continued, "Do you have a basic knowledge of swordsmanship?"

Gongsun Xiaotao shook her head. “I grew up in a temple at the foot of the Desolate Heaven Sect Mountain. I only learned some sacrificial dances and never touched a sword… They all said that swords were only used by the rich and powerful.”
