Chapter 46: Overthinking
Time flies, and before I knew it, seven days have passed.
At noon that day, Bai Luhan was wiping the table as usual.
Her eyes were empty and her pretty face was blank, as if she was thinking about something.
For the past seven days, she followed the method of practicing martial arts before practicing sword skills. She temporarily stopped practicing sword skills and turned to practicing internal skills.
Oddly enough, ever since she started practicing internal skills, she felt that her hands and feet had become stronger, and her breath had become longer.
Not only that.
This morning, she casually picked up the sword and practiced two moves, only to find that her sword skills not only did not regress, but the moves became more and more fierce and powerful, and there was even a hint of improvement!
After further practicing her internal skills, her sword moves actually advanced instead of retreating.
This greatly overturned her cognition.
Could it be that the way I practiced sword before was all wrong?
"Hey!"
Just as Bai Luhan was thinking, Aji suddenly appeared in front of her.
When Bai Luhan saw Aji's face while thinking, she was shocked.
"You're going to die! You scared me for no reason!"
As she spoke, Bai Luhan threw the rag in her hand towards Aji.
"Hey, you little girl!"
Catching the rag thrown by Bai Luhan, Ah Ji said, "You wiped the table in one place, and you scratched the table to pieces!"
"My pleasure!"
After hearing what Ah Ji said, Bai Luhan said stubbornly, "What do you think of that?"
"I'm just giving you a heads up..."
Looking at Bai Luhan's appearance, Aji shook his head: "If the old miser sees you slacking off later, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Having said that, Aji put down the rag and prepared to leave.
"etc!"
Seeing Aji turn around, Bai Luhan said, "I have something to ask you!"
"What's up?"
Hearing this, Aji said lazily.
"Shopkeeper...really don't know martial arts?"
After a slight hesitation, Bai Luhan asked.
Bai Luhan never believed that an ordinary person could say that one must practice skills first before practicing martial arts.
Perhaps, Wang Ye is really a hermit master.
"What's wrong with you today?"
After hearing Bai Luhan's words, Aji reached out his hand and touched her forehead, and said thoughtfully, "You don't have a fever either?"
"You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"
"You have a fever!"
Seeing Ah Ji looking like he deserved a beating, Bai Luhan immediately got angry: "Why am I talking nonsense?"
"You haven't said anything nonsense yet!?"
Facing Bai Luhan's reaction, Ah Ji pretended to be shocked and said, "Even Doctor Zhu of Huichuntang knows about this old miser's greed for money and lust for his weak body..."
"And you're here asking me if he knows martial arts?"
"You are a martial artist after all. Have you ever seen a martial artist as weak and frivolous as him?"
"But……"
Facing Aji's rapid-fire words, Bai Luhan seemed a little hesitant: "To be able to say that practicing martial arts first requires practicing sword skills, he doesn't act like an ordinary person at all..."
"Hey my lady!"
After hearing Bai Luhan's words, Ah Ji stamped his feet and beat his chest: "So you swallowed everything I said to you before with the steamed buns?"
"That old miser is just a dog who relies on his mouth to lift the door curtain. You dare to believe what he says? I respect you as a man!"
Aji was startled as he spoke.
"But……"
Looking at the startled Ah Ji in front of her, Bai Luhan said, "I followed his method, and my sword moves have become more fierce and powerful these past two days..."
At this time, Bai Luhan still didn't quite believe what Aji said.
"Oh, who doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year?"
Aji was extremely disdainful of Bai Luhan's words : "This old money-grubber talks nonsense every day, and occasionally he gets it right and you run into him..."
He said this as if he felt his words were unconvincing.
Ah Ji turned Bai Luhan's head and asked him to look at Wang Ye who was checking the bills at the counter: "Take a good look. Have you ever seen that knowledgeable senior in the martial arts world look like this?"
After saying this, Bai Luhan looked towards Wang Ye.
But at this time, Wang Ye was standing in the cabinet.
He was flipping through the accounts with his left hand and fiddling with the abacus with his right hand, with the smile on his face switching back and forth between obscene and outrageous.
Wang Ye, who originally looked quite handsome, now looked more and more like a fool as his expression changed.
"did you see it?"
At this time, Aji said from the side: "The inn has been doing well these past two days. The corners of this money-grubber's mouth are almost stretched to the back of his ears!"
"Do you think your question is funny?"
After hearing this, Bai Luhan was speechless.
The appearance of Wang Ye in front of him definitely could not be related to these four martial arts masters in the slightest.
Now it seems that not only is there no connection, but Wang Ye's demeanor and behavior make him look more like a greedy and lustful old man in the market...
"It seems..."
Seeing this, Bai Luhan said, "I'm still too young!"
"Yeah!"
After hearing Bai Luhan's words, Aji nodded and said, "If you ask others whether they can do martial arts, I might hesitate for a while, but if you ask him, it's absolutely impossible!"
"You're really late. You haven't seen this old man when he's in trouble."
"If it weren't for me, he would have died eight times!"
After hearing this, Bai Luhan nodded and was about to say something.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came: "Boss, a pot of Huadiao and three stir-fries!"
Following the voice, two figures dressed in brocade clothes and holding long swords walked in.
The two figures, one old and one young, are extremely conspicuous.
The older one was a man, about forty years old, and the younger one was a woman with fair skin, only about twenty years old.
At first glance, the two looked like a father and daughter.
"These two guys are masters!"
After seeing the two people, Aji said: "Especially the man, his steps are steady and his eyes are sharp. The woman is slightly inferior, but not weak either..."
After seeing the two of them, Aji spoke.
"okay!"
Before Bai Luhan could say anything, Wang Ye hurried out from the counter, smiling flatteringly, and said, "Please take a seat, both of you. It's autumn and we have some pickled plums here, which can help quench your thirst. Would you like some?"
Wang Ye's appearance and demeanor were extremely flattering.
"Then have some!"
After hearing Wang Ye's words, the woman responded.
"Okay, wait a moment!"
Hearing this, Wang Ye responded.
At the same time, he turned to Aji and said, "Aji, what the hell are you standing there for? Why don't you come over and greet the two guests!?"
Seeing this, Bai Luhan subconsciously covered her face.
Wang Ye's actions perfectly demonstrated the flattery of an innkeeper.
I was actually wondering just now whether this guy was a reclusive martial arts master.
It seems that I really thought too much!
Thinking of this, Bai Luhan's gaze turned, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
The reason was simple: she knew this couple!
