My apprentice is a little weird?

Jiang Yan casually snatched the dagger from his hand and picked it up again. There was only a small blade edge on it, and the broken surface was uneven and curved.

It was obviously interrupted by violence!

"When did you..."

"Of course it was when you hit me the hardest~"

"…I am old after all…I didn't even notice this…"

Xin Lai smiled bitterly, leaned back weakly, and slumped into the blanket with a somewhat dazed expression.

"You were able to break the dagger without hurting me... Well... It seems... I will never be able to defeat you in martial arts."

"Speaking of which... my current martial arts level, how does it compare to that of Senior Dugu... Hero Yang... Hero Guo... Senior Hong that you mentioned?"

Jiang Yan did not answer, but put the dagger on the table, leaned the bamboo pole against the side, sat down opposite Xin Lai, and reached out to pick up the only relatively intact wine jug on the table.

Look up and drink it all up~

Even Jiang Yan found the spiciness of the perverted version of bamboo leaf wine difficult to swallow.

But he still forced it down his throat.

After drinking the whole pot, he put it down, but not on the table. Instead, he held it in his arms with both hands.

At this moment, his cheeks were flushed, his expression was a little dazed, and there was a silly smile on the corners of his mouth. His eyes no longer had the usual laziness, but became a little empty.

In addition, his head was slightly tilted and his eyes were staring blankly ahead, which added a bit of cuteness and wisdom to his overall temperament.

His long hair was like ink-dyed silk, falling in front of his chest as he moved, and covering half of his face as he tilted his head.

"I don't know... that's just a story I told, not a real person..."

"Tsk~ You're lying to me again..."

Xin Lai turned his head away with disdain and didn't look at him.

Jiang Yan~ stroked the wine jug in his hand, closed his eyes slightly as if reminiscing, swayed his body gently from side to side, and hummed a ballad.

It was a very ordinary nursery rhyme, with no lyrics, no accompaniment, only the gentle melody and Jiang Yan's warm voice, echoing in the house~

Xin Lai listened to Jiang Yan's humming and couldn't help but slowly close his eyes and empty his mind.

This song is one of the few that Jiang Yan can hum. There is no lyrics and no one knows what he is humming. He won't tell me when asked, but just smiles foolishly.

Every time he listened to it, he would feel a kind of inner peace and a slight sadness.

.........

After one song, the room returned to silence.

Only the mess is left...

Jiang Yan held the wine jug in a daze for a while, then slowly stood up, then stumbled and almost fell.

Fortunately, he was quick and grabbed something to support himself, so he didn't fall.

He slowly walked away leaning on the thing, muttering:

"Drinking with you is so boring. You fell down before I even started to exert my strength... Ouch~"

I don't know what I stepped on, and I slipped and fell backwards!

Snapped!

Jiang Yan fell to the ground with a big word...

But it didn't hurt? Because there was a blanket under him?

Xin Lai threw another blanket out before he landed, just enough to cushion him...

"How dare you! You are unconscious, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"

"This blanket was given to you by your sister-in-law. Just lie down and sleep here."

Jiang Yan lay on the ground with his mouth sticky, then struggled to get up.

"I~ won't sleep here... I have a home~"

Xin Lai couldn't hold on any longer. He had just used his internal energy to fight, and the alcohol spread throughout his body!

This is no longer something that can be controlled by the spirit. The body is broken, and no matter how powerful the spirit is, it will be useless.

But he still had a few words to say, so he forced himself to speak:

"Wait, I have something else to say"

Jiang Yan was holding a blanket and leaning on something, but he didn't stop walking, as if he didn't hear anything.

"Your apprentice..."

Hearing these four words, Jiang Yan paused.

But Xin Lai looked at his back with a gloomy gaze and said:

"Your apprentice seems to like you~"

Jiang Yan tilted his head and glanced at Xin Lai.

"Why do you say that~"

"Open the blanket. Inside is what Hui'er observed today, and there is a description of your apprentice."

"You know, Hui'er has a strong sense of observation and a good grasp of human nature."

Jiang Yan held the piece of paper in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"So...what are you going to do next?"

"I can see that you are very caring towards this apprentice. If she falls in love with you and wants to marry you in the end."

"What should you do?"

Jiang Yan turned his head and faced away from Xin Lai, which made it impossible for him to see Jiang Yan's expression, but he could feel a slightly depressing atmosphere~

Can't help but sigh...

"No one can predict this kind of thing. If outsiders find out, it will have an impact on you, her, and even your sect."

"Hahaha~"

"???"

Xin Lai looked at Jiang Yan with a puzzled look on his face: "What are you laughing at? Are you angry or something?"

Jiang Yan laughed casually and freely, as if he didn't care about this at all.

"Eh~"

"Brother Xin, don't you know~"

Xin Lai???

"what are you talking about?"

Jiang Yan turned around and lifted his black hair in a move that he thought was cool. He had a narcissistic expression, a blanket hanging on his elbows, raised one hand to support his forehead, and gently closed his eyes.

He spoke in a helpless but indeed boastful tone:

"My handsome face, unparalleled talent, and humorous personality are irresistible to everyone, young or old, regardless of gender."

"A person like you who is plain-looking, has an average family background, and has nothing of his own, must have never experienced the warmth of being welcomed by girls~ and no girl must have screamed and shouted for you~"

"At the same time, I have never experienced the pain of being knocked unconscious by someone sneaking through the window in the middle of the night."

"But I have to endure this all the time~Why does God treat me like this?"

"Ah~ Maybe it's because of my damn charm that has nowhere to go~"

"Go away~ you vulgar people~"

Xin Lai...his whole face turned dark and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are narcissistic?"

Jiang Yan raised his head suddenly with a serious expression.

"No~"

"Me!"

"Relax, bro~"

Xin Lai propped himself up and was about to beat Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan just smiled faintly.

"It's normal for Ming'er to like me. It's abnormal if she doesn't like me. You know, I'm the first person who gave her a normal life."

"And there is no comparison and no harm. Others are hungry, cold, and unloved, but I treat her very well" (referring to those who are hungry and eat grass)

"She will find out later that I treat everyone else like this."

Xin Lai frowned slightly.

"Then she still likes you..."

Jiang Yan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, her liking doesn't matter to me"

"Her current love is just a combination of dependence, nostalgia and gratitude. After she spends some time with me, this love will naturally turn into respect and love for her father."

"And I just raised her as my daughter."
