Chapter 118: The posture of a master?

In the evening, Bai Luhan was sitting in the backyard of Zuixianlou, scrubbing clothes vigorously.

While washing, he kept muttering: "Damn it, those people of my age have already made their mark..."

"It would be fine if I, the great Swordsman of Haotian, didn't make a name for myself, but I'm doing odd jobs here washing clothes..."

“This is outrageous!”

As she spoke, Bai Luhan couldn't help but hit the washboard.

Snap!

With a crisp sound, the washboard broke into two pieces in an instant.

Seeing this, Bai Luhan couldn't help but close her eyes.

This washboard was bought not long ago. If Wang Ye finds out about this, he will deduct money from me again.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Just as Bai Luhan closed her eyes, a burst of applause could be heard.

"who!?"

Hearing the applause, Bai Luhan's face changed and she asked, "Who is laughing at me!?"

"I am just sincerely happy for Miss Bai. How can I laugh at her?"

As soon as Bai Luhan finished speaking, a familiar voice was heard.

Following the sound, he saw the detective standing not far away, looking at him with a slight smile on his face.

"Happy? What's the happy part?"

Hearing the words of the detective, Bai Luhan rolled her eyes and said, "I spent ten grand to buy this washboard two days ago. If the money-grubber knew about this, he would deduct my wages again!"

"This old money-grubber must have been looking for a bargain. The washboards he bought are all made of rotten wood that will break if touched. He wanted to take this opportunity to deduct my money!"

As she spoke, Bai Luhan seemed to feel unsatisfied and threw the broken washboard to the ground.

clang!

The washboard hit the ground with a noise.

"Hahaha"

Seeing Bai Luhan's expression, the detective smiled and said, "Miss Bai, there's no need to be angry. Compared to these washboards worth a few coins, this progress in inner strength cannot be exchanged for any amount of silver!"

Progress in inner strength?

Bai Luhan was startled when she heard the words of the divine detective. She looked at the divine detective in front of her and said, "Are you saying that my inner strength has improved?"

"good!"

Hearing this, the detective nodded. He pointed at the broken washboard and said, "This washboard is made of solid wood. The material is quite good. It is definitely not rotten wood..."

"Miss Bai was able to easily break a washboard this thick, which is enough to show that her internal strength has greatly improved."

After hearing this, Bai Luhan looked at her hands, with a hint of joy on her pretty face.

No wonder she always felt her dantian was full and her hands and feet were full of strength these days.

It turned out that it was because of the progress in internal strength.

Bai Luhan was delighted, and then she turned her eyes and said, "By the way, Master Shenbu, what do you want?"

"You are standing here, aren't you just here to watch me wash clothes?"

“Of course not”

Seeing Bai Luhan's change of attitude, the detective smiled and said, "I came here to ask Miss Bai something..."

"matter?"

Hearing this, Bai Luhan was slightly startled.

She immediately put down the clothes in her hands and said, "Since you told me that your inner strength has improved, I will make an exception and answer you this time..."

"Well, what do you want to ask?"

"Miss Bai is indeed generous..."

Looking at Bai Luhan in front of him, the detective smiled and said, "I heard from Brother Aji that you thought Manager Wang was a hermit. Is that true?"

The detective was not vague and asked straight to the point.

“Hey, that’s all you’re asking…”

After hearing what the detective said, Bai Luhan smiled and said, "It is true."

"If that's the case, why does Miss Bai think that Shopkeeper Wang is a hermit?"

The detective narrowed his eyes and wanted to continue digging deeper.

"This matter is nothing..."

Shaking off the water stains on his hands, Bai Luhan said, "Before this, I skipped meals in the evening and practiced sword moves, hoping to improve my skills as soon as possible and become famous in the martial arts world..."

"But at that time, the old money-grubber said that I was training in the wrong direction, putting the cart before the horse, and that I should cultivate my inner strength before practicing swordsmanship."

"After practicing internal skills for a period of time, I found that my sword skills not only did not regress, but became more advanced. That's why I thought he was a senior master who had hidden himself away from the world..."

During the conversation, Bai Luhan told the detective everything about the matter.

To practice sword skills, you must first cultivate inner strength...

As soon as these words came out, the detective's eyes narrowed.

Most swordsmen in the martial arts world focus on sword moves, pursuing sharpness and swiftness, but ignore the importance of internal strength.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

And the fact that Wang Ye could say such words, just with this one sentence, he has already surpassed many people who practice swordsmanship.

Could it be that Wang Ye is really a hermit master?

Thinking of this, the detective said, "So, Shopkeeper Wang is indeed a master."

"Forget it!"

Hearing this, Bai Luhan curled her lips in disdain: "It turns out that I thought the same as you did, thinking that he was a hermit in the city, but later I realized that I was wrong."

"What do you mean?"

The detective asked immediately.

"What do you mean?"

Looking at the look of the detective, Bai Luhan said, "You didn't see how embarrassed the old miser looked the last time the thieves attacked!"

"His tall body started to tremble when he encountered danger. He couldn't even stand steadily. He rolled and crawled on the ground. He almost wet his pants."

"Could it be that he is pretending to do so in order to hide his identity?"

The detective was not giving up and continued to question.

"That's impossible..."

Hearing this, Bai Luhan shook her head and said, "There has to be a limit to this pretense, right?"

"Last time, the thief's dart almost killed him, but he was still lying on the ground, unable to move..."

"If I hadn't used gravel to deflect the thief's dart, he would have been buried in peace by now!"

As soon as these words came out, the detective was about to say something.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Hey, who are you cursing, little girl?"

"Who has already been buried?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two turned around at the same time and saw Wang Ye walking out of the front hall.

"No wonder I kept sneezing while sitting in the front..."

Looking at Bai Luhan in front of him, Wang Ye said, "After all this time, it's you, a little girl, who is here to say bad things about me!"

"Shopkeeper, listen to me!"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Bai Luhan hurriedly said.

"OK!"

Before Bai Luhan could speak, Wang Ye's voice came again: "I just bought a new washboard, and it was broken by you, a little girl, after just a few days of use!"

"I spent ten grand to buy this, I'll deduct this money from your wages!"

At this time, Wang Ye said, "Also, hurry up and come over to eat, or you won't even have a chance to lick the bottom of the bowl!"

"knew!"

Hearing this, Bai Luhan stood up angrily.

At the same time, she looked at the detective with a rather resentful look.
