"Daddy too."
Li Changting was lying in the guest room. When he heard this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
It wasn't that he was deliberately eavesdropping. The front and back yards were not far apart, and the monks had sharp hearing, so it would have been hard for him not to hear.
Servant? Guard?
This outrageous identity is not only inferior to Xiang Sheng, but also inferior to Xiang Jianjue.
Following this trend, how could he show his ability in front of Xiang Jianjue and make him change his mind?
no!
Fighting spirit ignited in Li Changting's eyes.
He wanted to let Xiang Jianjue know that even in a trivial mortal game, his performance would not be worse than her master.
"First, we need to change the impression..."
Li Changting muttered to himself, his mind becoming active.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Fengfeng had not returned from school yet. Widow Wang heard that there were guests and came over to help cook.
Li Changting walked into the blacksmith shop with an enthusiastic look on his face. Seeing that blacksmith Chen was busy, he went over to help pull the bellows.
Blacksmith Chen declined a few times, but seeing that Li Changting insisted on doing so, he said no more, but his face smiled a lot more.
"By the way, I haven't asked for the blacksmith's name yet."
"My last name is Chen, you can call me Chen Laosi."
"Brother Chen."
Li Changting clasped his fists and sighed, "To be honest, I followed Jian Jue all the way and was willing to be the Xiang family's guard because I wanted to take him in as my disciple, but he refused. Now that he's with his sister, it's even harder to persuade him."
"Accepting a disciple?"
Blacksmith Chen laughed dumbly: "Don't you even consider Master Jian Jue's background? Why would he choose you as his master?"
"Brother Chen, please don't look down on me."
Li Changting smiled slightly, took off the scabbard on his back and stuck it on the ground, "Try it?"
Seeing this, Blacksmith Chen chuckled and said, "Brother Li, I'm not bragging. I've been working as a blacksmith for many years and have learned swordsmanship. Just look at your rapier..."
As he said that, Chen the blacksmith grabbed the hilt of the sword and tried to pull it out, but he couldn't.
The smile on his face froze for a moment, and he coughed dryly: "I was careless just now, come again!"
He gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, took a deep breath and exerted force, "Rise!"
This pull required at least three hundred pounds of force, but not only was the sword undrawn, even the scabbard stuck in the ground didn't move at all.
Blacksmith Chen's face turned red from holding it in, and he could only let go and gasp for breath.
Li Changting easily pulled out the sword with one hand, put it back on his back, and smiled a little guilty.
He is a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, but now he is hiding here and deceiving a mortal. It is really shameful.
However, this guilty smile, in the eyes of Chen the blacksmith, became extremely mysterious.
"Brother Li, it turns out you are really an expert!"
Blacksmith Chen was amazed. "You want to capture Master Jian Jue? That's quite simple. Just show off your skills like you did today, right?"
"Brother Chen, I've already shown off my skills several times."
Li Changting lamented, "But he just doesn't want to. He only wants to come to his sister and says his sister is better than me. Do you think that's possible?"
"Boss Xiang is so weak, he's naturally no match for you."
Blacksmith Chen said honestly, "But they come from prominent families. Master Jian Jue is very knowledgeable and has probably seen someone even more powerful than you. Naturally, he won't agree to your request."
"Brother Chen, I'm not saying anything, but in this entire world of cultivation... there are only a handful of people whose swordsmanship surpasses mine!"
Li Changting had a sad face. "Jian Jue is incredibly talented. Given time, his accomplishments in this field will surely be no less than mine. If I can't coax him into my grasp, I'll be uneasy!"
Blacksmith Chen also frowned, "Let me help you think about it..."
The two were chatting animatedly, but they didn't know that when Widow Wang came to call them after making lunch, she happened to hear the second half of Li Changting's sentence, and the meaning of the words immediately changed.
"If I can't get her, I won't be at peace!"
"Let me help you think about it."
"Why don't you ask Boss Xiang? Maybe someone knows."
"No, Boss Xiang must have seen through my intentions and has been avoiding me."
"It's always a good idea to try. Say something nice. These two siblings are still young, and they might just give in out of pity."
“…”
Widow Wang thought she had misheard at first, but when she heard the rest of the story, the fire in her heart suddenly flared up.
She glanced at the spatula in her hand, ran back to the kitchen in the backyard without saying a word, changed for a knife and rushed over.
A moment later, the door of the blacksmith shop made a loud "bang" and Chen the Blacksmith crawled out in a panic, followed by Li Changting who looked confused, attracting the surrounding neighbors to come and watch.
"Sister, it's not what you think!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Chen Laosi, I really thought you had learned everything in the past few years, but you were just pretending. You even wanted to take advantage of Xiang's daughter. I'll chop you to death!"
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
"Li Changting, right? You're no good either! Look at the knife!"
