Condensation, condensation, condensation…
Ye Yi stood in front of the stone the size of a human head with his eyes closed. He was in a punching position, not moving at all.
Suddenly, Ye Yi opened his eyes and punched the rock. The rock shattered into pieces and Ye Yi swung his hand in pain.
"It hurts! Whoosh! Phew!"
Ye Yi kept blowing at his swollen fist, while Kong He and he were discussing the birth and death of gunpowder, looking at the shattered stone with a surprised expression.
How could he smash a rock after cultivating for less than two hours?
To be honest, Life and Death had never expected Ye Yi to cultivate so quickly. From this point of view, Ye Yi was really talented in fighting for nothing.
Perhaps it was because of the surprise on Shi's face, but Ye Yi put his hands on his hips and looked at Shi with a very proud expression.
"What about life and death? Am I very powerful? It can already smash rocks!"
It was obvious that Ye Yi's arrogant and self-satisfied appearance had aroused Sheng Shi's dissatisfaction. He had originally intended to boast, but he had also taken back his words. He curled his lips slightly and revealed a mocking smile.
"You're still far from it. It's true that you shattered it, but in the end, your hand was injured like that. If it were in battle, that hand of yours would be crippled, you know?”After he finished speaking, he ignored Ye Yi's angry expression and stood up to say to Kong He and Hai Yan,""I should go back too. It doesn't matter if it happens once in a while. If I return late for two consecutive days, the old man will have an opinion.”
"You're right."
Hai Yan shrugged her shoulders and did not try to persuade him to stay. Even though they were of the same age and did not mind, but the identities of Sheng Shi and Ye Yi were completely different from the Zhibo family. They could not follow the way of the common people.
The four of them returned to Zhibo's house. Ye Yi and Life and Death retrieved the shallow hit and were about to leave when Petrel hurriedly called Life and Death.
"Wait, life and death." Hai Yan took the remaining two shallow hammers and said under Sheng Shi's puzzled gaze,""You can take these two shallow players back.”
"Huh? I was originally here to give it to you. Why would I bring it back?”
"That's right, big brother. Since the gift of life and death has already been sent over, we should just accept it.”
Kong He chimed in as well, while Hai Yan glared at her younger sister before turning to Shi.
"Although I am very grateful for your kindness, Zhibo's family is currently just a commoner of Flowing Soul Street. This kind of thing is indeed not suitable for our family.”Hai Yan said softly," Maybe I was too worried. After all, you took these two shallow shots from Head Captain Yamamoto. If someone with ulterior motives were to blame you, it might bring trouble to Head Captain.”
As a former noble, Hai Yan was well aware of the infighting between the nobles. Even if the head captain did not belong to the noble forces, he was still closely related to those nobles. It was hard to guarantee that there would not be any ill-intentioned nobles who would use this to hold the head captain accountable. If that really happened, he, the current head of the Shiba family, would have absolute responsibility.
Life and Death looked at Hai Yan quietly. He naturally understood what Hai Yan was thinking, which made him a little speechless.
To be honest, the things that Haiyan was worried about were nothing to Yamamoto Genyanagi. With his strength and status, which noble would dare to talk to him about this?
However, although he thought so, he still took the two shallow shots from Haiyan's hands. There was no other reason. Although he thought that this kind of thing would not cause any trouble to his old man, he hated it when someone else took responsibility for his own mistake, even if the responsibility was so small that it was almost non-existent.
"Alright then, I'll keep these two shallow level weapons for now. I'll take them when I come to find you in the future. I'll give them to you when you enter Zhenyang Spiritual Academy next year.”Sheng Shi didn't wait for Hai Yan to say anything else. He waved his hand and left Zhibo's house with Ye Yi."See you later then ~"
Looking at Sheng Shi and Ye Yi disappearing into the night, Hai Yan stared blankly for a long time before returning to the house with Kong He with a helpless expression.
"To be honest, I'm quite surprised by Sheng Shi.”
"Indeed, how could anyone know so much about gunpowder?”
Kong He crossed his arms and nodded in agreement. Hai Yan looked at her sister speechlessly.
"I'm not talking about that." Looking at her sister's puzzled gaze, Hai Yan continued,""It's just that I'm thinking that although Shengshi is the head captain's grandson, his personality is very casual. He doesn't look like he was raised by the head captain at all.”
Before the Shiba family was removed from the family, Haiyan had seen the Yamamoto Genyanagi Kingdom from afar. The first impression she gave others was that she was calm and dignified. Later, she learned a lot about the Yamamoto Genyanagi Kingdom from her father, which gave Haiyan a new understanding of this head captain.
That was that this person was very law-abiding. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was pedantic and stubborn.
However, as his adopted grandson, Sheng Shi was free and rebellious. He seemed to do things according to his own wishes. He was completely different from the head captain's personality. This was something that Hai Yan never expected.
Kong He, why don't you just marry him in the future?"
It was rare for Hai Yan to tease her sister, but Kong He nodded without hesitation.
"Sure,"
"Eh!"
Hai Yan's expression suddenly froze. Kong He pinched his chin and said to himself.
"Although I'm not interested in marriage, I'll definitely be forced to get married by you in the future. In that case, why don't you find someone I like in advance? Whether it's his personality or hobbies, he's quite to my liking.”
(You're not looking for a marriage partner, but a gunpowder business partner, right?)
Looking at her sister's face, which was not shy at all, Hai Yan's brows kept trembling, and then she let out a deep sigh.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Kong He was still so young. How could he truly realize what marriage meant? In her eyes, marriage was probably no different from playing house.
Although Hai Yan didn't say anything, Kong He felt inexplicably unhappy and glared at his big brother.
"Why are you sighing?"
"It's nothing. It's just that I think it's too early to talk about marriage with you.”
"Are you looking down on me, you bastard brother! Don't think that I won't beat you up just because you're the boss!”
While Kong He and Hai Yan were having a friendly interaction, Sheng Shi and Ye Yi returned to the Xuanling Palace and came to the residence of the Four Maple Courtyard.
If Ye Yi had dragged him here yesterday, then he had taken the initiative to come here today. After all, he had knocked out the etiquette teacher and left the Hunling Ting with Ye Yi. It would be unreasonable if he didn't come and explain things clearly.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the main gate of the house, Yuyi of the Four-Maple House suddenly appeared in front of them and looked at them angrily.
(Oh no, I'm going to be scolded again.)
Ye Yi thought to herself, but she was already used to it. Moreover, she had learned something new from the experience of life and death today, which made her mood exceptionally good. So be it.
However, what happened next shocked her so much that she couldn't speak.
He saw his father put away the anger on his face and rubbed his hands with a flattering expression. He looked at him with a smile that was like a spring breeze.
"Ye Yi, you're back. Did you have fun today?”
So disgusting!
Seeing his father's abnormal attitude, Ye Yi immediately felt nauseous and almost vomited. However, he still endured the churning in his stomach and laughed dryly with an ugly expression.
"I, I had a great time."
"That's good, that's good." Yuyi nodded repeatedly. He bent down and gently held Ye Yi's shoulders as he pushed her into the room."It's already so late. You must be hungry, right?" Hurry up and eat. The food is already prepared ~"
"Wait!"
Before Ye Yi could say anything, he was pushed into the room by Yuyi of the Four-Maple Courtyard. Yuyi then walked out and closed the door. He came to the front of Sheng Shi and looked down at him seriously, questioning him in a deep voice.
"Ye Yi's etiquette teacher, you knocked him out?”
"It's me."
Sheng Shi did not hide anything, nor did he find any excuse for himself. He admitted it openly. Then, Yu Yi of Four Maple Court took out a piece of paper. On it, the words " I took it away on the first night " were written crookedly. The signature was " Zhi Ming Sheng Shi."
"Did you write this paper too?"
"Didn't I write my name on it?”
Shi Sheng crossed his arms and raised his head to answer confidently.
Yuyi of the Four Maple Court's expression turned even uglier when he heard Sheng Shi admit it.
"Do you know what it means to trespass into the House of Four Maple without permission and take away the princess of the House of Four Maple?”
"I'm not too sure. I'm just purely bringing Ye Yi out to play.”Life and Death shrugged and smiled,"What's wrong? Are you going to report me to the old man?"
"Look at what you're saying. Why would I complain to the head captain?”
The serious expression on Yuyi's face instantly disappeared, and he looked at Passing with an extremely kind expression, causing Passing to be stunned for a moment.
Did the masters of these nobles change their expressions so quickly?
"It's time for dinner now. If you don't mind, stay for a meal before leaving.”
"What? But I still have to go back."
"It's okay, it's okay ~ I'll send someone to report your whereabouts to the head captain. I won't let the head captain worry.”
"But…"
"Alright, alright. You're a child. The adults will understand if you play a little later before going home. Go in and eat first.”
With his current physical strength, he really couldn't compete with Yuyi of Szumaden. He could only let Yuyi of Szumaden push him into the residence of Szumaden with enthusiasm.
