The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"If it were someone else, I could just do it without any burden."

Li Ran raised the wine jug again and drank it in big gulps. The transparent wine flowed out from his mouth, slid all the way to his white neck, and wet his clothes.

Snapped!

Suddenly. Li Ran slammed the wine pot on the table, burped, and shook his body slightly. He pointed at Shi Gu and said.

"Forget it. If this doesn't work, you have to promise me something else."

"In the future, a woman will come to you to ask for dragon bones. Her name is Lady Baihua. You are not allowed to kill her no matter what. Can you promise me this?"

After saying that, Li Ran, who was already drunk, added in a low voice.

"Don't worry, she won't be your opponent. She is far inferior to you."

Shi Gu had heard of the name Lady Baihua and couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked Li Ran.

"Don't you have a family? Why are you so caring towards this Lady Baihua? What is your relationship with her?"

Li Ran had a bitter expression on his face. Under the influence of drunkenness, he lay on the table and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"She is my sister, although she probably doesn't want to acknowledge me as her big brother."

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu immediately became interested, pushed the wine jug towards Li Ran and urged him.

"This sounds new. Please tell me more about it."

Li Ran did not speculate. He picked up the wine jug and took a big gulp, then spoke in a low voice.

"She is my biological sister, four years younger than me."

"You also know that I was born with a good appearance, but she was different. She was born with a disability and was a cripple."

"When she was young, she was often bullied and laughed at by her playmates because of her leg disability."

"And my parents are extremely partial. They always think about me and forget that they have a daughter."

"At that time, I was spoiled, stupid and bad. As her brother, not only did I not protect her, I also joined others in bullying her."

Li Ran lowered his eyebrows, his eyes full of guilt, and clenched his small palms into fists with such great force that his knuckles turned slightly white, and his voice became a little ethereal.

"One time, I found her in a pile of firewood. She was squatting on the ground, secretly wiping away tears."

"But instead of comforting her, I called over others and laughed at her for being a crybaby."

"I hated her for sticking to me to play, and hated her limping walking posture. No one blamed me, and no one ever comforted her."

"When I was eight years old, I met my master, who gave me an ointment."

"My master told me that this ointment can save me one year of training time and can also cure my sister's leg disability, but there is only one copy. How I use it is up to me."

"She didn't beg me, but I always remember the look in her eyes. She wanted to walk like a normal person and not be laughed at for being a cripple."

"But I didn't give her the ointment. In order to save only one year of training time, I used up the ointment."

"Later, I became a disciple. My master loved me very much and taught me everything, but my sister didn't have such luck."

"My parents wanted her to get married early, to marry another cripple, a rich cripple who was not much older than her."

"She didn't want to, so she knelt in front of my parents' door and refused to eat or drink."

"I scolded her at that time, saying she didn't understand my parents' good intentions and was an ungrateful person. I scolded her and she ran away. She never came back, and I didn't go looking for her."

Amid Li Ran's bitter smile, he raised one hand and slapped himself hard on the face, leaving a red mark. He pressed his chest, his eyes misted over, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I am a beast."

"For so many years, I just felt that my parents' preference for me was natural, and their disregard for her was what she deserved."

"But I didn't think about it. I am her biological brother and I should protect her from the wind and rain."

"She is also a human being. She needs someone to protect her and someone to love her."

"It took me so many years to figure out such a simple truth. I am simply hopeless."

As he spoke, Li Ran lay on the table, reaching out to grab the wine jug, his expression miserable and full of guilt.

"My parents were wrong, and so was I."

"She is also a living person who can cry and laugh, and have joys and sorrows."

"But for all these years, she has never felt the feeling of being loved. She is like a stone on the side of the road, beaten by the wind and rain, and no one will pity her."

"Now, she has made some name for herself and has also accepted an apprentice. She loves her apprentice as if her life is making up for the love she lacked in the past."

"She wants to find a dragon bone for her apprentice."

"As her eldest brother, I must help her, even if it means losing everything I have."

"But why is it you who holds the dragon bone?"

Shi Gu did not answer Li Ran's question, but asked softly.

"Isn't it a little late to make amends now?"

Li Ran looked dazed and sighed.

"It's already too late, but what can I do?"

"I can only try my best. Even if she hates me, I can change her."

"But as long as I am alive, as long as I am in this world, there should be something I should do for her."

Shi Gu smiled when he heard this, raised his glass and asked Li Ran.

"Er Gou, do you remember what I did when we first met?"

Hearing this, Li Ran's mouth twitched and he smiled bitterly. He also raised his glass and clinked it lightly with Shi Gu, and said with a complicated expression.

"I remember that you beat me up and sealed my power, forcing me to beg for food all the way back to the mountain gate."

"You also said that if my parents don't discipline me, you will become my wild father and discipline me."

"You are a real bastard. Not only did you make me beg for food along the way, you even hired other beggars to beat me up."

Shi Gu picked up the wine glass, drank it all, then turned the glass upside down and said to the sad Li Ran.

"Things must first rot before insects can be born."

"You're not rotten to your core after all. At least you still want to make amends, but this is ultimately a matter between you two siblings."

After saying that, Shi Gu glanced at Su Xue beside him and said lightly.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you this dragon bone."

"Because this dragon bone has never been mine. I am just returning it to its original owner. But if anyone wants to covet this dragon bone, I will not agree."

"You may owe your sister, but I don't, and neither does my apprentice."

"I won't kill your sister, but if she does anything out of line, I can't guarantee it."

Li Ran stood up suddenly and stared at Shi Gu. His lips moved slightly, as if he was about to say something, but after a moment, he slowly sat down again, as if he had made up his mind, and spoke to Shi Gu word by word.

"I won't let you kill her."

Shi Gu smiled, spread his hands, shrugged slightly, and said in a nonchalant tone.

"You'd better keep your word and stay here honestly, wait for your sister to come, and then follow her closely to protect her and prevent her from being wronged."

"You'd better keep a close eye on her. She might upset me one day and I'll kick her good leg hard."

After saying that, Shi Gu slowly stood up and was about to leave in style. But just as he stood up, he seemed to remember something, sat down again, picked up the chopsticks awkwardly, and asked Li Ran.

"Can you ask the waiter for another three pounds of mutton? The three of us are still not full."

Chapter 86: Master and Disciple

Li Ran had a poor alcohol tolerance and soon he was drunk. He lay on the table, fell asleep with a red face, which made people who came after him couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

After all, a cute little loli with a delicate figure, drunk and lying on the table, anyone would be unable to help but take a few more glances at her.

Shi Gu had long been accustomed to the strange looks from others and didn't care at all. He took Shen Yue and Su Xue to enjoy the meal.

After eating and drinking, Shi Gu hesitated for a long time and still did not let the drunk Li Ran pay the bill. He paid for the meal himself and asked the energetic Shen Yue to carry Li Ran on her back and take him back to his yard.

After killing several people in a row, Shi Gu temporarily subdued those little killers, but even though they knew they were no match for Shi Gu, they were unwilling to leave just like that.

It's like a weak stray dog ​​that doesn't dare to step forward to snatch the meat from someone else's hand, but still follows behind, waiting for an opportunity that may never come.

Shi Gu and the other two were walking on the street. This time there was no fool blocking their way. With this free time, Su Xue couldn't help but talk to Shi Gu about the previous topic.

"Master, you said that all the techniques in this world are imperfect and have drawbacks. So... are there any drawbacks to the techniques that Xiao Yueliang and I practice?"

Shi Gu held his head high and chest puffed out, his eyes constantly moving around, observing the people walking on the street, and spoke nonchalantly when he heard this.

"Your skills come from the Hundred Tribulations Sect. If you practice to the extreme, you will become warlike. This is not a big problem."

"And Shen Yue, this silly girl, is practicing the Yuan Mo Da Fa, which is a magic skill, but no one has ever practiced it to perfection, so I don't know what the disadvantages of this skill are."

Su Xue carefully wrote down what Shi Gu said, secretly pondering the pros and cons. However, Shen Yue, who was responsible for carrying Li Ran on her back, asked Shi Gu curiously.

"What about you, Master? What is your technique and what are its drawbacks?"

Shi Gu was startled when he heard this, and slowly turned around to look at Shen Yue. His black eyes were as deep as the night. He looked at Shen Yue with an innocent face, and after being stunned for a long time, he spoke softly.

"My skills are something I created myself. They are a bit messy and disorganized. I still don't have a name for them."

"As for the disadvantages of this set of skills, it is simple, it just leads to death."

After saying that, Shi Gu smiled gently, as if he was talking about something interesting, then turned around and continued walking forward.

Shen Yue and Su Xue froze, but looking at Shi Gu's relaxed look that didn't seem fake, they thought Shi Gu was just making another not-so-funny joke.

The two smiled at each other, quickly chased after him, and followed Shi Gu's side.

At the same time, in Lin'an City, a pair of master and disciple came into the city mixed in with the crowd.

"Qing'er, are you hungry?"

A beautiful woman in a white dress, holding the hand of a young girl, squeezed through the crowd and came to the door of an inn.

The girl, who was also wearing a white dress, listened to the master's questions, shook her head repeatedly, and indicated with a firm attitude that she was not hungry.

goo~ goo~

However, the girl's stomach made a sound. The sound was not loud, but it could not escape the ears of the woman in the white dress.

The sound made the woman in the white dress chuckle. She reached out and rubbed the girl's head, then entered the inn while the girl looked awkward.

The business of the inn was a little quiet. When the waiter saw someone coming, he immediately greeted him attentively.

"Sir, are you here to stay or to stay overnight?"

The woman in the white dress smiled gently at the waiter, threw out a silver ingot and gave instructions.

"Waiter, choose a superior room and prepare some wine and food for us."

The waiter took the silver ingot and immediately smiled. Without saying a word, he turned sideways and spoke enthusiastically.

"Sir, you are really here. The best room in our inn has just been vacated. It is large and spacious."

"I'll take you up first, and the food and drinks will be brought to you two right away."

The woman in the white dress smiled and nodded, then she took her apprentice up to the second floor and followed the waiter into the room.

Just as the waiter said, the room was very spacious, bright, clean and tidy.

The woman in the white dress was very satisfied and threw another ingot of silver to the waiter.

"The room is nice. Please go down and urge for the wine and food."

The waiter held the silver in his hands, smiling broadly, and naturally would not say a word of objection. After agreeing, he quickly left.

After the waiter left, the woman in the white dress stretched lazily, opened the window, and sat down by the window.

Seeing this, the girl in the white dress started to get busy. She pushed the teapot on the table aside, opened her small package, took out a small and exquisite teapot, picked up a few white petals and put them into the pot.

Then, the girl brought the small teapot and handed it to the woman in the white dress. The woman in the white dress glanced at the girl, then reached out to take the teapot while smiling.

"You, you really can't sit still."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in the white dress stretched her hand out of the window, lightly spread her five fingers, and a stream of water suddenly condensed in the air, winding in the air like a snake and drilling into the teapot.

Then, the woman in the white dress held the teapot, opened her cherry lips, and gently exhaled into the teapot.
