Pei Ye smiled, stroked the already smooth hem of his clothes, and said gently: "I didn't expect you to have such miraculous abilities."

"Sometimes I'm in a dilemma." The girl pursed her lips and smiled, "I always hear what's on people's minds, but I can't remind them, so I have to walk away."

So in the eyes of others, this girl just likes to be alone and is not easy to get along with.

"Then just pretend you didn't hear it."

"Ah?" The girl opened her almond-shaped eyes and was obviously stunned.

"As long as you don't say it, no one will know, and they won't be embarrassed." Pei Ye smiled, "This matter can be ignored."

"Y-really?"

"Um."

"..."

When the sky was dimming, the Sword Cultivating Academy was also in front of us.

The girl really didn't have much luggage, and the small baggage was probably all her belongings. Pei Ye thanked the coachman and told him to go find Cui Zhaoye.

"Yin... is there anything you want to do when you come to Shenjing?" Pei Ye has nothing to help with and is left empty-handed, "Shenjing is very big and there are many fun places."

"..." Jiang Yin'er was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer.

"Haven't you thought about it? It's okay. There will be many opportunities in the future." Pei Ye tilted his head and smiled.

"I have just mastered the art of swordsmanship, and when I travel around the world, I should be a chivalrous and righteous person." The girl carried the baggage with a pure and serious expression, and then lowered her head hesitantly, "Others... I haven't thought about it yet."

"..." Pei Ye was slightly startled.

"What's wrong, Brother Shi...I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay! Very good." Pei Ye looked at her and smiled seriously, "Then just go ahead and do your best."

"..."

"Is this the first time Yin'er has gone down the mountain?"

"Well, this is the first time I have walked so far by myself. Master has taken me to far away places, but when I went down the mountain by myself, the furthest I went was a small town seventy miles away from the sect..."

"There are many things in the city that are not available in the mountains."

"Yes! Make new clothes, listen to the opera, buy sweet cakes...and..."

Pei Ye took the girl to get everything done. He first handed in the recommendation letter, watched her write the sword book, then took her to the tailoring room to have her body measurements taken, and received a practice sword - his own one as a gift. Cui Zhaoye took one as if nothing had happened - and then took the girl into the Hidden Sword Tower and paid homage to Dean Qiu Jizi and several Daoqi one by one until it was already noon.

Along the way, Pei Ye was quite responsible and energetic, and he must have a sense of maturity and stability. Pei Ye claimed to have "brotherly style", but the word "Black Cat" can be summed up as "pretending".

In short, everything was settled, and Pei Ye took her to her residence.

Choosing a place to live is indeed a time-consuming matter. Pei Ye doesn't want the girl to live too far away, but he is afraid that she will not be able to make friends of the same sex next door to a remote place like "Tang Sanjian", so he finally made some inquiries and discussed it. , but Ning Shuhong said that although Zuoqiu Longhua, she, and Zhu Shishi were already full in their courtyard, Zhu Shishi had been sleeping with her, and the west room was completely vacant, so she was very welcome to stay.

Pei Ye touched her chin and thought for a while. Ning Shuhong behaved upright and Zhu Shishi seemed to think about nothing else except eating and sleeping every day. The tall guy from Tianshan also looked like a piece of wood with an indifferent mind. It shouldn't be necessary for a girl to live here. I was too troubled by the [mind's eye] and was not afraid of being led astray, so I thanked him and agreed to come down.

Now after politely knocking on the door, with a "here you come", the door was opened and Ning Shu's red smiling face was revealed.

"Comrade Pei, it's not easy to meet you."

Pei Ye scratched his head and smiled. He traveled around Shenjing for days, and only spent time in the Sword Hidden Tower or the small courtyard in the Sword Xiuyuan. He was indeed almost the most elusive among the swordsmen of this year.

But when he saw the girl in white standing quietly behind him, Ning Shuhong's attention was no longer on him.

"I've heard that Jiang Zhen passed down the sword-bone crane posture. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true." The woman stepped aside and said, "Please come in quickly."

This was the first time Pei Ye visited someone else's courtyard since he entered the Sword Academy. He was shocked to find that the layout of the courtyard could be so different - a courtyard that was no bigger than theirs actually had a stone table for tea and a place for practicing. There is a sword field, neat flower beds, two persimmons and pears, a unique small pond and an ancient tree in the corner of the courtyard.

Full but not cluttered, the winter scenery is cold now, but it still has a unique style.

Pei Ye frowned and studied for a long time, and determined the problem - Yan Feiqing planted a big tree and placed a rocking chair in the middle, which naturally meant that neither the southeast nor the northwest could be used more.

And no one else can sit on that chair.

At this time, Zhu Shishi was sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, immersed in eating her lunch. Her round head was pointed upward, and only when she heard the sound did she raise her eyes.

The west room that Ning Shuhong mentioned was indeed clean and tidy. He asked Jianyuan to prepare bedding and daily necessities so that he could stay there tonight. Pei Ye discovered that the girl, like Zhu Gaoyang, had a separate space. It was a jade ornament inlaid on the hilt of the [Illuminating God] sword. The girl took out several sword books from it.

Pei Ye did not stay in the house anymore. Ning Shuhong helped the girl arrange her belongings. He picked up his sword and went out. He sat at the stone table and discussed the crispness of green peppers with Zhu Shishi who was cooking rice for a while, and then raised his head. At that moment, I saw the tall, ancient-looking woman walking in from outside.

Zuoqiu Longhua is another fellow practitioner who lives a two-point and one-line life. Pei Ye has even fewer opportunities to see her.

The woman came in and saw him slightly startled. She didn't ask, but she took the initiative to nod her head and said, "Hello, Fellow Practitioner Pei."

If we talk about the sects in the world, Tianshan is actually one of the ones that Pei Ye is more friendly to. He also remembered that this woman seemed to have received guidance from Miss Ming, so he stood up and returned the greeting: "Hello, fellow practitioner Zuoqiu, let's make an appointment for swordplay when we are free."

Zuoqiu Longhua nodded, turned around and went into the house. The ancient sword on his back was slender and simple, and his temperament was almost the same as his. Pei Ye remembered that she defeated Yang Zhenbing in the last swordplay game. He was indeed a swordsman who looked very powerful.

Not all swordsmen can be judged by their appearance. Some people don't seem to be special even if they always carry a sword with them. When he is dusty, his sword is also dusty. When he is dressed brightly, you can't tell whether the sword on his waist is a weapon or an ornament.

For example, the middle-aged man eating noodles in the alley, such as Zhu Gaoyang, and Pei Ye himself.

But swords are extremely popular, which means that although the strong may not have outstanding temperament, the one with outstanding temperament must be strong, such as Ming Qitian, such as Yan Feiqing, Yang Zhenbing, and Zuoqiu Longhua.

Often their own temperament is also the manifestation of the temperament of swordsmanship.

Pei Ye speculated on the swordsmanship style of this one of the "Seven Jades" of Tianshan. When he turned around, Jiang Yin'er had already walked out.

Pei Ye smiled and said goodbye to Ning Shuhong, promised to send the girl back after dark, and left the courtyard with Jiang Yin'er.

The two walked in the sword training courtyard. The boy carefully pointed out the buildings and explained many details of life in the sword training courtyard and even in Shenjing. When they stopped, it was indeed dusk.

Finding a stone bench to sit down, Pei Ye was just about to take a break in the garden and send her back, but heard the girl say: "Brother Shi, where do you live?"

"Hmm? I'm two alleys behind you, in the Gengyuan of the seventh alley. If you have anything in the future, you can come here to find me." Pei Ye stretched his legs and smiled, "What's the matter?"

"Hmm... I heard that Senior Brother Yan Feiqing is also in the Xiujianyuan. Brother Shi, do you know where he lives?" Jiang Yin'er asked curiously, "I want to visit him on a certain day."

Pei Ye paused while stretching his legs.

He looked at the girl beside him in silence, with a look on his face that had just lost its childishness - Pei Ye was reluctant to admit it, but it seemed that it could indeed be called "admiration for legends".

It even seemed that there was a little "missing".

"..."

"...Hmm?" Jiang Yin'er looked at him.

"Yan Feiqing..." Pei Ye retracted his legs, "Are you familiar with each other?"

"Well... Senior Brother Yan doesn't seem to be familiar with others." Jiang Yin'er thought seriously, "But when I was younger, I lived in Qingwei for three months. At that time, I practiced sword with Senior Brother Yan - at that time, I thought he was very powerful. Later, he really became famous in Shenjing and ranked first-class."

"Oh, I am very familiar with him." Pei Ye said lightly.

"Ah?"

"We live in the same courtyard - he even asked me to name his courtyard." Pei Ye said, "He is not a busy man, so why choose a day? If you want to see him, let's go and reminisce with him."

"Ah...Okay." Jiang Yin'er didn't expect that this brother had a good relationship with Senior Brother Yan, who was known for his "ruthlessness". She nodded slightly in surprise.

In fact, she herself was not so anxious. She had known very few people since she was a child, and this was even more so after coming to Beijing. Looking around, Senior Brother Yan was already a relatively familiar person, and they were both Taoist disciples, so this was also a necessary etiquette.

The master had told her that when she met with the true disciple of his sect, she had to be polite and serious, but the master also said that if there was anything, she could listen to Brother Shi’s arrangements. Since Brother Shi said that they had a good relationship... then it should be nothing...

The alley was still quiet.

One must sigh at Yan Feiqing’s vision in choosing a place to live. The Xiujianyuan was originally a secluded place, and the alley was even quieter. As long as you step in, your heart will naturally be much clearer.

Pei Ye opened the door with his sword. It was dinner time. Yan Yang and the others were in the courtyard. The man with a red dot on his forehead was still lying quietly under the tree, and the bandage on the wound on his arm had been removed.

At this time, he heard footsteps and looked over, and paused.

"Brother Yan." Jiang Yin'er bowed and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I want to ask Qingwei how he is doing on behalf of my master."

"...Yin'er." Yan Feiqing was indeed stunned for a while, and then he actually stood up from the recliner, bowed and returned the greeting, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you for your concern, my master is doing well - it's been a long time since we last met."

Then he looked between Jiang Yin'er and Pei Ye for a few times, frowned and said, "Why are you hanging out with him?"

"...?"

Pei Ye almost didn't fight with him, fortunately, Yang Zhenbing and Jiang Yin'er dissuaded him, and Pei Ye had some understanding of his own strength, so he didn't really draw the sword.

Yan Feiqing and Jiang Yin'er really talked about the old days, and the man seriously told the girl about the Taoist sword book he studied today, and asked about the girl's progress in sword practice over the years, and finally went to the house and carefully selected a few books and sword practice experience for her.

Yan Feiqing's view of this junior sister is obviously very simple - good character, good sword quality, and a Taoist, worthy of serious treatment.

But his view of Pei Ye is also obviously very simple - good character, good sword quality, worthy of life and death... but not worthy of entrusting a junior sister.

Anyway, it's not the first day that the three of them frowned at each other in the courtyard. Yan Feiqing and Yang Zhenbing have always been consistent in their words and deeds. Cold words such as "Don't touch my recliner" and "Don't occupy my place for sword practice" can often be heard. Pei Ye thinks he is normal and never scolds the two people harshly, but he is the one who lies on the recliner and hangs clothes on the sword platform.

Therefore, there is always a kind of cold excitement in the small courtyard. Jiang Yin'er seems to be very relaxed and happy in this atmosphere. Huijian pursed his lips and sat upright, watching the senior brother and his senior brother bickering coldly. Next to him was the equally lazy kitten. Yang Zhenbing didn't speak much, but when he came back from going out, he also brought her meal.

A few people gathered around the small table and finished their meal. Yang Zhenbing went to the sword field to practice his sword. Yan Feiqing also sat back under the tree. Only Pei Ye and Jiang Yin'er sat on the roof, looking at the stars in the dark night with their legs crossed in silence.

"That's actually the case in Shenjing. As long as you get to know a few more people, you won't seem so big and unfamiliar." Pei Ye smiled and said, "Anyway, you can study in the sword academy freely in the future. If you need anything, you can ask everyone for help."

"Thank you, Brother Shi." Jiang Yin'er said seriously as she sat hugging her knees. In just one day, the "Sword Xiuyuan" was indeed no longer a strange place to her.

"I've seen you outside." Pei Ye smiled.

After a moment of silence, the young man suddenly said: "...Yin'er."

"Um?"

"Master...is Ying Suyu, right?"

"……Um."

"Has she ever told you..." The young man looked at the sky and paused for a moment, "Why the two of us...should be fine."

"..."

Pei Ye turned to look at her.

"Master said... you are senior Yue Muzhou's disciple."

Even after three or four months, hearing this name from others still made the young man's heart tremble. He was startled and lowered his head: "...apprentice?"

"Um?"

"Nothing. Then, what is the relationship between your master and Yue...Muzhou?"

"...I don't know either." Jiang Yin'er also frowned slightly and whispered in confusion, "I asked Master, and Master said that Senior Yue is the most important benefactor, the most concerned friend, and the most... annoying man. The best swordsman in the world."

"..."

"Senior Yue... passed away, right?" The girl was silent for a while, then tilted her head in a low voice, "A few months ago."

"Yes." Pei Ye took a deep breath, "Did Master know about it at that time?"

"Well, she said...it would be better to be an orchid and destroy a jade than to be a humble person and an Ai Rong." Jiang Yin'er whispered, "'It is impossible for this person to live to die of old age."

"Hahahahaha."

Jiang Yin'er also smiled with him, and neither of them spoke anymore.

"I've asked you many times, but I couldn't find anyone to tell me before." Pei Ye said softly, "Then, do you know what happened to Grandpa Yue when he was young?"

Jiang Yin'er was startled and paused.

"...It's okay, just chatting. You can think about it slowly. We can talk about other things first." Pei Ye smiled and asked, "Is there anything you want to talk about?"

"Ah..." Jiang Yin'er thought seriously, "I don't seem to have anything..."

"No, weren't you curious about me when we first met?" Pei Ye showed her the sword, "I used the sword so well last night."

"Ah, okay, I thought of it, there is one." Jiang Yin'er suddenly remembered it, and was indeed quite interested.

"Huh? Tell me." Pei Ye smiled.

"Brother, who is 'Li Mingqing'?"
