C12 (2/2)

”I am a disciple of the 'Sword Pavilion', Dong Lang.” Dong Lang cupped his hands and said.

”Oh, Dong Lang, we're going to the 'former water village' tomorrow, right?” The woman asked with a smile.

”Yes, Senior Sister must be Shu Qin.” Dong Lang cupped his hands at her.

You are the head disciple of the four halls of the 'Sword Pavilion' and I am also the head disciple. You can just call me Shu Qin, but that brother of mine, if you think about it, I might as well call you senior brother. ”” Senior brother? After he finished speaking, Shu Qin covered her face and chuckled. It was really like a ripple that rippled over, causing one to be unable to help but want to take a second look. Dong Lang had also noticed it and hurriedly stabilized his state of mind.

”Then where is Brother Shu Jian now?” Dong Lang couldn't help but ask when he saw Shu Qin.

”This is where the female disciples live. Big brother lives a bit further away. How about, we go find him together?” With that, the woman carried the zither on her back. With a wave of her hand, a small sword flew out and stepped on a sword as it flew away. Seeing that, Dong Lang followed along.

Around A stick of Incense time, they arrived at Shu Jian's residence. The two story small bamboo house was fresh and elegant, Dong Lang recalled his own small hut, it was much more simple and crude than this, and couldn't help but feel a little envious. ”Big brother, little sister is here. Can you come out for a chat?” Shu Qin walked down the Flying Sword and spoke into the house. Right after she finished speaking, the door creaked open, and a person dressed in a scholar's attire walked out, with an ordinary appearance, around the age of seventeen or eighteen. After Shu Jian walked out, he looked at Dong Lang, ”Hey, this is Senior Brother Dong Lang, right? Shu Jian started to call Dong Lang senior brother, which made Dong Lang a little embarrassed.

”Don't call me Senior Brother, I cultivate dao for a short period of time, how about this, I will call you Big Brother Shu Jian, you can call me Second Brother.” Dong Lang immediately refused.

”Ahh, no, no, no. We still have to have etiquette, and seniority cannot be disrupted.” Shu Jian waved his hand and said.

”Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. My brother is just like that. He spends his days like a pedantic scholar, bound to those rules and regulations.” Shu Qin explained while grinning.

”Come in and sit, don't stand outside.” Shu Jian led them into the house. The furnishings inside the room were very simple: a table, a chair, a bed. What surprised Dong Lang the most was that the bookshelves took up half of the room. Regarding this, Shu Qin explained that Shu Jian only knew how to read all day, he was deeply afraid that others would disturb him, and he was also unwilling to prepare more chairs, because if others came and saw a place to sit, they would leave. Heh heh.

”Regarding this, Shu Jian is a little embarrassed. ”Alright, when do we set off tomorrow?” Shu Jian changed the topic. ”What do you think?” Shu Qin turned his face, and looked at Dong Lang.

”Ah, you guys ask me, I've never gone out to gain experience before, you guys decide.” Dong Lang helplessly shook his head.

”Then let's set off in the morning. It's almost noon by the time we get to 'Front Water Village'. Maybe we'll be able to learn some clues. What do you guys think?”

”I have no objections.” Shu Jian nodded.

”I have no objections either.” Dong Lang agreed with him.

”Well, so be it. Then let's gather at Sword Pavilion tomorrow. ” Shu Qin said.
