Taiping Inn

The little girl has a very high talent and excellent bones, but with her current level of effort, she still doesn't need to compete with her talent. In other words, it is suspected of wasting her talent, so Li Xuandu will give her many things at once. If she encounters any misfortune in the future, she will not be really desperate. After all, one more skill means one more path to choose.

Only after real effort can you know the value of talent. Some people are stuck at the threshold of a certain realm for decades. They can be said to have done their best, but they are helpless. But more people, whether practicing martial arts or refining qi, can't stand loneliness and pain. They can't even see the threshold, let alone do their best?

The latter accounts for more than 80% of the people in the world.

Li Xuandu believes that if there is no life and death feud between her parents, the little girl is most likely one of these 80%, growing up under the protection of her parents, and then marrying and having children according to the orders of her parents and matchmakers, supporting her husband and raising her children, and enjoying her grandchildren, and her life will pass like this.

There is nothing wrong with such a life, but the little girl can no longer live like this. She is destined to embark on a path of seeking the truth, so Li Xuandu still hopes that she can do her best on this path and go further.

The two of them "soaked" in the lake for a long time. Li Xuandu took the opportunity to tell her many basic boxing theories. It was not until the little girl's two little feet were soaked in water that they came out of the lake. The big and the small sat side by side on the shore, waiting for the water on their feet to dry, and then they put on their trouser legs and shoes and socks.

The little girl jumped a few times, as if she was imitating the way Li Xuandu stepped on the water just now.

Li Xuandu put his hands behind his back and smiled without saying a word.

Not long after, Shen Shuangmei returned to the small courtyard, but it was a little earlier than Li Xuandu expected.

According to Shen Shuangmei, although Zhu Yu's cultivation was high, his experience in the martial arts world was not very good. After all, the reason why she was able to step into the Xiantian realm was because of the word "hard work". She spent most of her time on practicing, and it was inevitable that there would be gains and losses. So when Shen Shuangmei took the letter to see Zhu Yu and explained her intention, the leader of the Rain Hall of the Fenglei Sect panicked and subconsciously wanted to snatch it. However, Shen Shuangmei was so skilled that she would not let her succeed. Then Shen Shuangmei threatened him a few more times. As she was in the public office, she was almost self-taught in the art of threatening others. Zhu Yu was immediately confused. Then she comforted him with a few more words, promising that as long as Zhu Yu did not oppose the young sect leader Song Muzhe, this matter would never have happened, and she would not reveal a single word.

Seeing that the use of force failed, and the conditions proposed by Shen Shuangmei were not excessive, Zhu Yu naturally gave in and agreed to Shen Shuangmei's proposal. As for whether she would regret it, it was hard to say now, but in Li Xuandu's opinion, it was unlikely that she would regret it, unless she was coerced and bewitched by Gongsun Liang, the head of Fengtang, and Zuo Qiuyun, the head of Diantang. Therefore, the most fundamental solution was to get rid of Gongsun Liang and Zuo Qiuyun, cut off these two troubles, and then the remaining people would not be able to stir up trouble.

Shen Shuangmei's move, in the final analysis, was to stabilize Zhu Yu first, making her hesitate and dare not act rashly. By the time she reacted, the overall situation had been decided, and it was too late to regret and act. This is the principle of defeating each one separately.

Similarly, the same is true for Hu Liang and Sun Shaozong.

When Li Xuandu followed Zhang Suqing, he not only learned Confucianism, but also learned a lot of political tactics. He was almost self-taught. He didn't dare to say that he could play games with high-ranking officials in the temple. With his intentions and intentions, he was more than enough to deal with a few people in the martial arts world.

After finishing the business, Li Xuandu told Shen Shuangmei about the private matter of helping the little girl to open her tendons and set her bones.

Shen Shuangmei agreed immediately. She was also a martial artist, so she was very familiar with such things. Naturally, she was happy to see Zhou Shuning, a talented and beautiful jade.

Then Shen Shuangmei took the little girl to the house.

Because such things had to take off clothes, Li Xuandu didn't follow to avoid suspicion. He turned his back to the door, looked at the sparkling lake, and kept silent.

Not long after, a faint sob came from the house.

Although the voice was very low, as if it was suppressed with all efforts, and it was separated by the door, Li Xuandu could still hear it clearly with his hearing, and every bit of it seemed to pierce his heart.

Opening tendons and straightening bones, as the name suggests, is to use external force to help correct the tendons and skeleton. The pain can be imagined, and it is not far from many tortures of forced confessions. The difference is that it does not hurt the body. Although the little girl has a tough temperament, she is just a child after all. Even many adult men cannot bear this kind of pain. It is rare that the little girl can barely bear it.

Li Xuandu also suffered this kind of pain in the past, but now listening to the little girl's suppressed sobbing is more uncomfortable than what he endured himself. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and simply closed his ears and silently recited a "Purifying Heart Mantra" of Miaozhen Sect.

Li Xuandu suddenly understood the mentality of parents. It was nothing for them to suffer, but they could not bear to see their children suffer. Therefore, many rich families who came from poor backgrounds often had spoiled children who could not bear hardships.

So Li Xuandu, who was indifferent to life and death in the past, was a little soft-hearted. He could not bear to see or hear it. He even had a faint worry in his heart, fearing that the little girl would alienate him because of this matter.

If Li Xuan was not Li Xuandu, who only had the Xuanyuan realm now, but the Zifu Sword Immortal who was unique in Jiangbei back then, then he would never let this little girl he cared about suffer these hardships, even if these hardships may not be bad things. It can train your mind, but he still hopes that the little girl will not have to face these things too young or too early.

These are some of his selfish intentions.

But whether it is public or selfish, he is no longer the Zifu Sword Immortal of the past, so he is naturally unable to protect the little girl. Since the little girl is destined to leave his wings, he should give her more before she leaves. Giving her something is like before the wanderer goes out, his parents prepare more silver and clothes for her.

About half an hour later, Shen Shuangmei pushed the door out.

Li Xuandu also turned around and looked at him.

At this time, the female captain rolled up her sleeves, revealing her two snow-white wrists, her face was flushed, and sweat beads oozing from her forehead, which was obviously very tired.

The effort of opening tendons and bones is not used much, so you need to be skillful and even more refined. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will hurt the little girl, or even leave hidden diseases. Since Li Xuan has entrusted the little girl to her, then she will naturally We cannot let down this trust, so be careful, and at the same time we should pay attention to alleviating the little girl's pain and comfort her softly. The physical fatigue is second, the key is that the mental strength is huge loss.

Seeing this, Li Xuandu hurriedly thanked: "It's really a pain this time."

Shen Shuang smiled slightly, "I have already gotten along with Shuning, which is a matter of duty. It's not a matter of not working hard. I'll go and take a break first. You can go and see Shuning."

Li Xuandu nodded and walked into the house quickly.

Zhou Shuning was lying on the bed, wearing only a white middle-clothed body, covered with a thin brocade quilt, and her hair, which was originally combed in pairs of girls, was spread out and spread on the pillow. At this time, she was already drowsy, her forehead and nose were covered with sweat. Even in her sleep, her brows were still slightly frowned, as if she was suffering a great pain, which made people feel pity.

Li Xuandu reached out to hold her wrist, used his energy to find out, and found that nothing was wrong, so he let go of his heart, then stretched out another finger and rubbed her brows gently, allowing the frown brows to slowly dissipate. .

After doing this, Li Xuan vomited a long breath and thought to himself, no wonder he said that his parents' kindness is greater than that. Raising a daughter is indeed not an easy thing. Not to mention what he did, it is just the word "worry". , it also makes people feel really tired. No wonder so many seniors in the world would rather live alone than get married. I think they want to have a carefree mind.

Li Xuandu helped the little girl tuck the corners of the quilt, then quietly retreated outside the house and closed the door.

When he turned around, he found that the female captain who said he was going to rest was still standing there, with his arms wrapped around his chest, and asked with a smile: "Is Zifu raising Shuning as his daughter?"

Li Xuandu sighed lightly, "It would be a blessing to have such a well-behaved and sensible daughter."
