Chapter 13 You mentioned separation as soon as we met? [Seeking follow-up reading]

When Xie Beiling became more serious, the test lost its suspense.

"No fight, no fight!"

Wei Mingqi withdrew his hand and looked at the red and swollen back of his hand, feeling very depressed.

Xie Beiling's martial arts were simply a natural counter to his. Not to mention his nimble and butterfly-like footwork, the "counterattack" of the Jade Clear Sword was even more bizarre. Obviously, he had enough strength to break an ordinary sword with a single move, but in front of this "reduction" force, it was like a drop in the ocean, and not even a fraction of his full strength was exerted.

Xie Beiling also put away his sword at this time, and smiled and comforted him softly: "Don't be discouraged. You have been laying the foundation for the past few years, so it is inevitable that your skills are rough. You are still young, you can't be invincible in your teens, right?"

Wei Mingqi suspected that she had just had a great time.

I don’t know if it was some kind of psychological effect, but Xie Beiling was like a teacher in a school, using the sword as a ruler to hit the back of his hand.

The back of his hand gradually became swollen and painful. Wei Mingqi calmly put his hands behind his back and said, "Master, what level of martial arts am I now in the martial arts world?"

Xie Beiling thought about it seriously: "Your strength alone is not inferior to that of a master of external skills, but your punches and kicks are too crude. If you meet a real master, as long as he is not careless, he can easily kill you."

Her original intention was to alert Wei Mingqi, but after she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong. There were countless warriors in the world, but how many were martial arts masters?
Wei Mingqi's current strength is enough to be listed on the martial arts list. She is afraid that the former has been suppressed for many years and will now be unable to resist and become arrogant.

"Even the old man Wanrenshan can't do it."

Wei Mingqi raised his head and sighed, "He taught me for five years, but it was hard for me to become a Grandmaster. No wonder he didn't dare to send me a gift. If a piece of beautiful jade is not carved and polished well, the old man will be embarrassed."

"..."

Although she wanted to hit him on the head with her sword, when she heard the word "carving", Xie Beiling couldn't help but pursed her red lips and said, "If we really want to talk about responsibility, I am your master. I can't put the blame on others for not carving you out."

Hearing this, Wei Mingqi quickly met her pair of phoenix eyes: "It's true that you are my master, but even if everyone in the world owes me something, you are the only one who doesn't. Five years have passed, how come you have become so indecisive? This is not like you."

He will not forget.
When most people in the world wanted to kill him, it was the woman who should have killed him the most who protected him, causing the originally noble and elegant leader of the three religions to be disgraced.

Who would dare to believe that Xie Beiling, a great celestial official, would sell barbarian heads on the streets of the city.

"What's wrong."

The woman seemed to see the fire in his eyes. She walked behind him with a faint smile and took his hands up. "You suddenly lost your temper. Did the master hurt you?"

"..."

It was just like during the test, even if he was as strong as a dragon or an elephant, at this moment he felt like he was hitting cotton, with only one tenth of his strength remaining.

Wei Mingqi's tone softened: "No, I just suddenly wondered if you, Master, had been wronged by someone over the years, and I was worried."

Xie Beiling pulled him into the house with a smile on his face. He took out the medicine box and bandaged him, saying softly, "Master has never been wronged by anyone. He just lives a stable life now. Especially since you are back, I have less worries in my heart."

"..."

Xie Beiling didn't seem to be lying, and Wei Mingqi realized that he knew too little about her, especially about the first half of her life.

Maybe this is the kind of life she wants?
After applying the medicine, Xie Beiling let go of his hand. Although Wei Mingqi was a little reluctant, he still stood up and said, "Okay, then I will follow Master and practice martial arts while selling barbarian heads. When I have mastered the skills, I will go to pick up Li He."

"Didn't Lord Wan assign you any tasks?"

"It's arranged, in the West Government Office, but I can't make a living anywhere, I might as well follow you, Master, and together we can make the Mantou Shop bigger and stronger! Master, you just need to collect the money, "

The Master and Disciple Mantou Shop is now open for business!

Seeing his beaming expression, Xie Beiling couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "Even if you leave the palace, don't give up the imperial court easily. Especially now, there are more people watching you than five years ago."

Wei Mingqi frowned subconsciously: "Five years have passed, and they still won't let me go? There hasn't been any change in the martial arts world in these five years?" "It has changed too much."

Xie Beiling explained to him: "But it is precisely because of the huge changes that more people are watching you than five years ago."

After listening to her explanation, Wei Mingqi finally understood.

It can be summed up in one sentence: the liquidators need him as the most valuable footnote.

During the past five years, many forces that had been involved with him were so-called "retaliated against". After the new forces composed of liquidators secured their positions, they finally turned their attention to Wei Mingqi, who had given them the "legal basis" for liquidation.

Whether they were sincere or not, they at least verbally shouted "Down with Wei Mingqi", which has brought a lot of pressure to the court in recent years, but he just didn't feel it.

Five years is a long time, but Wei Mingqi is still a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat. Even if his crimes are still in the future, it does not prevent people with ulterior motives from demonizing him in advance.

"Now many people say that you have been kept captive by the imperial court and have become a lackey."

At this point, Xie Beiling glanced at him, and seeing that his expression was still calm, he continued:

"But no matter what others say, you can't act on impulse. Otherwise, you will fulfill their wishes and seek a job in the government. They will be more or less wary of you."

Wei Mingqi was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Are they so afraid that I will collude with the imperial court? Well, then I will be the imperial court's lackey again for them to see."

"..."

Xie Beiling knew what he wanted to do, but didn't say anything harsh: "Be careful, and you are not a person of the court after all, don't get too involved with the palace."

"I know."

I will just touch upon some underworld topics briefly.

After all, this is the capital of Guanzhong, the core territory of the imperial court. Those underworld forces dare not go too far. No matter how weak Guanzhong is, the East and West Yamen are not just sitting there to do nothing.

After Xie Beiling finished talking about his career, he turned to his life: "I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I'll go with you to look at houses."

Looking for a house outside?

Wei Mingqi showed his embarrassment at the right moment: "Master, I just came out of the palace. The old man in Wanren Mountain was stingy and didn't give me much money."

"I'll lend you."

Xie Beiling showed the kindness that a master should have.

Wei Mingqi felt puzzled and simply asked, "Why do you want me to move out? Isn't there an empty room next door?"

Master Ci said nothing, just stared at him.

Not to mention staring at him, even chasing him away won't work. The two have been separated for several years, and this is the critical period for their relationship to warm up. How can they separate again?
Wei Mingqi tried to find the reason, his eyes turned around, and finally he saw that a corner of the bundle he placed on the table next to him was loose, revealing a face cover.

The Evil Disciple

Wei Mingqi was silent for a moment, then suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "That little beggar is so good! I gave him money out of kindness, but he took the opportunity to stuff this obscene book into my bag and alienate my relationship as master and disciple!"

"..."

Across from him, the cold and aloof Taoist nun stared at him without saying a word.
