Chapter 78 Strange Conversation
078 Strange Conversation
This guy is so stupid!
The speed at which the silver spear came was extremely fast. Xiang Jiannan only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and his body suddenly tilted to the side uncontrollably. He just dodged the spear tip with a whoosh, but he saw the spear shaft that had passed by him stop immediately, and then changed from stabbing to sweeping, and instantly aimed at his waist.
“No!”
Seeing that the gun was still a few inches away from him, Xiang Jiannan was being pulled from behind and had not yet stood firmly, but he heard Li Si appear in time. As soon as he finished speaking, he was already standing between the gun and Xiang Jiannan.
He was just a little bit closer to Xiang Jiannan, and with two fingers he immediately blocked Tang Ning's attack.
“Back off!”
With a snap, it was as if the wrist lost strength. After Li Si spoke, the silver spear in Tang Ning's hand fell down. He just gripped the gun handle without saying a word. The gun tip that was close to the ground began to withdraw step by step, leaving a long mark on the ground as Tang Ning's figure gradually went away.
This time he did not jump over the wall. Instead, he pulled the silver spear and chose to go out through the courtyard gate.
"Everything alright?"
The crisis was resolved and he stared at Xiang Jiannan closely. Li Si had not yet retracted the two fingers he had extended, still maintaining the vertical hand shape of three retracted and two extended fingers, with a calm expression: "I am sorry to have made you two Taoist priests laugh."
"I think Tang Ning is a martial arts fanatic that is rarely seen in a century!"
Letting go of the Taoist robe in his hand, Gao Yuan concluded that Tang Ning's attack was indeed extremely swift, but in the eyes of the old Taoist priest, it was not yet mature enough and he took advantage of the preemptive strike, or simply put, he was taking advantage.
The young man did not know the severity of his attack. He had no grudge against him, so why would he suddenly kill him? This idea must have gone wrong when it was given.
"He is indeed a martial arts fanatic. He is the only one in my Demon Subduing Division who can reach this level."
Not being able to hear any sarcasm from Gao Yu'an, Li Si agreed that Tang Ning was indeed worthy of the word "idiot". He had been in the Demon Subduing Division for so many years and similar things had happened countless times. This kind of person could be used with miraculous results in certain matters.
As they were talking, the four of them entered a room, sat down one by one, and drank tea in silence.
With Tang Ning's intervention, the topic seemed to be taken away along with the silver spear he pulled out.
"Please ask the two Taoist priests to come and refill the water this time!"
Sitting opposite Gao Yu'an, he felt that he had no topic to talk about. The water was slowly refilling. Li Sijing watched the two Taoists drinking there. The master and disciple seemed to be very thirsty. After a while, Li Jin got up five or six times, drinking cups one after another without end.
"Thank you, Young Master Li."
At this point he felt that he had almost had enough water, so he put down his cups and bowls at the same time as his master, and Xiang Jiannan sat upright and looked at Li Si.
He was not a talkative person, and he asked them to come over as if they were there to sit quietly with him. If they didn't talk, he would feel sleepy.
He was still a little frightened by Tang Ning's shot, and after relaxing, he would think of the thrilling scene from time to time.
If the master had acted a second later, Xiang Jiannan would have been knocked down here today. He would have been in trouble. Whether he could survive depended on his luck.
Li Si never gave any explanation for the matter from beginning to end. If no one instructed him to do so, Tang Ning would not have the courage to do so.
They did not hide their mistake when they attacked. Now that I think about it, I can only admit defeat. After all, they are from the Demon Subduing Division. It is not shameful to suffer a defeat at their hands.
"Xiao Li, if you have something to say, just say it directly. My master and I are not the kind of people who would haggle over trivial matters."
He seemed to be still brooding over what happened to Tang Ning, but he said it lightly. Gao Yuan stopped drinking water and responded that if they just wanted to have tea, there was no need to call the master and disciple over from far away. Li Jin hadn't said what the matter was before, so they couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
I haven’t had my meal yet.
"Nothing much. I heard Li Jin mention the two Taoist priests many times recently, so I wanted to meet them."
His words were unclear. After Li Jin returned to his side, Li Si stood up from his chair with a smile, turned his back to everyone and looked outside the house, his tone suddenly became low.
He was about to launch into a long speech.
"I wonder if the old Taoist priest has noticed that things seem to be a little unsettled in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
This question made Gao Yu'an and Xiang Jiannan look at each other in confusion, not knowing what Li Si was up to.
Why are you suddenly talking about this? It's too uneasy. How could you in the Demon Subduing Division not know about it? The topic got a little out of hand.
"Life is always full of ups and downs."
There was no way to answer what Li Si asked. Gao Yuan looked like an emotional mentor when he stood up. He had learned with great difficulty over the past few decades to ignore state affairs. With his current status, he could not put in much effort even if he wanted to ask.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
There is a trap in Li Si's words. It is not easy to deceive me, an old Taoist priest.
“It’s difficult!”
The two words seemed to be spoken to himself. After Gao Yu'an avoided the main point, Li Si followed with a sigh. There were all kinds of possibilities in his tone, but it sounded seriously inconsistent with his identity. Xiang Jiannan, who was sitting next to him, was so embarrassed that he almost dug out a three-bedroom and one-living-room apartment on the ground through his boots.
He didn't understand and didn't expect that this big shot from the Demon Subduing Division would say such a thing.
Did they call them here to seek advice? If that was the case, Xiang Jiannan could only say haha.
I'm just having fun here. If there's something to say, just say it. There's no need to worry so much about the country and the people. My master is right. Life can never be smooth sailing forever, even though what he said sounds irrelevant to me.
"You don't have to think too much. It's great to be happy every day like me."
I don't know if the master said this to show off. As he walked to Li Si's side, Xiang Jiannan felt more and more confused. A close brother and an enthusiastic listener met? This scene looked strange. Now all that was missing was a coat. After the master put it on Li Si, the conversation would basically be over. Li Jin didn't react at the moment. I think he had been used to it in the Demon Subduing Division for so many years.
Can you please say something that we can understand? It turns out that they are a group of powerful people. Before, I just thought that Tang Ning's behavior was abnormal, and the source turned out to be Li Si. I have a hunch that if there is any more conversation next, Xiang Jiannan can probably give up.
Don't dream of hearing anything. Facing the reality is your only way out.
"I met a woman from a water village in Jiangnan in my early years, and I still miss her when I think of her today."
If you had said this earlier, I, Xiang Jiannan, wouldn't be so sleepy.
Suddenly hearing Li Si change the topic again, Xiang Jiannan perked up for a moment. He finally had a conversation he could participate in. "Sir Li, please speak slowly. This kind of thing requires every detail. It seems that you are hurt by your feelings?"
That really resonates with me. In life, who can guarantee that they won’t run into one or two Aquamans?
