The Immortal God of War
Chapter 7: The Girl and the Old Man
A girl's voice came from beside me.
"The stinky old man told me about you. Are you from the royal family?"
Liu Chi did not answer. After a while,
"What's your strength? Why should I, old man, let you teach me?"
Liu Chi still didn't answer, but changed to another book and started reading. Due to the girl's interruption, I couldn't keep up with Liu Chi's progress. Besides, when reading a book, if you miss a little bit in the middle, you will have no idea what to say next. So I had to concentrate on listening to the girl's questions.
After a series of questions similar to those asking a household registration check, the girl finally fell silent.
After a while, I heard sobbing sounds.
I was shocked, but I didn't expect Liu Chi's reaction to be even greater.
"Why are you crying?" Liu Chi seemed very puzzled.
I saw that the girl's eyes were slightly red, and her expression seemed as if she had suffered a great injustice. When asked by Liu Chi, she stopped crying and instead looked at me with an expression like a resentful woman.
"Why don't you answer me when I speak?"
"Hmm? Did you just talk to me?"
Liu Chi seemed unaware that Qing Yan had been trying to talk to him.
The girl in front of him did not continue to be angry, but laughed instead.
"Hmph! Stop playing dumb with me. Let me ask you, are you from the royal family?"
"Royal family? I don't think I'm one."
"Isn't your last name Mu?"
"Yeah, isn't the royal family you're talking about a surname? My name isn't Royal Family Liuchi."
"Then let's go to the Mu family. Are you from the Mu family?"
"It seems~not."
"No? No? Why did the stinky old man tell me that you are from the Mu family?"
"Hello, my name is Liu Chi." Liu Chi emphasized and extended his right hand to Qing Yan.
Looking at Qingyan's somewhat dull expression, I felt like laughing.
After the two shook hands, Qingyan suggested that they sit inside and talk slowly. When Liuchi left, he also took a few books with him.
The girl sat opposite me. Although Liu Chi was looking straight ahead, he did not stop turning the pages of the book.
It turns out that this kid has been reading with his peripheral vision.
"You are the second person who dares to call my grandpa a stinky old man. How do you know him? As far as I know, the stinky old man doesn't have any close friends like you."
"I don't know him. I came here because he gave me money."
The girl's eyes moved downward and met my eyes again.
"Are you looking at me or reading a book?"
"I'm reading."
Qingyan looked at me with an incredible smile, then stood up.
"I'm going to be out for a while, don't move around here."
My eyes returned to the book again. To be honest, sitting in this wooden chair with a backrest is much more comfortable than standing. I don’t know what material this wood is made of, but apart from the pleasant fragrance, it also makes me feel like I’m back in the air-conditioned room after many years.
I carefully sorted out the contents of the books I had read when I first came in, and found that the magic theory was not very profound. It was basically the same as the theory I learned before, with only some changes in the text descriptions.
Liu Chi was still flipping through the book quickly. At this moment, I couldn't keep up with his reading progress, so I could only flip through the pages I hadn't read yet.
"The old man said you can leave now." Qing Yan's voice came from the door.
I was startled by this sentence and realized that a lot of time had passed.
"Hey!"
I felt a sharp pain in my right shoulder.
Liu Chi almost jumped up.
"Ugly monster! What are you doing? Can't you see I'm reading a book?"
Indeed, this was the first time that he was interrupted in such a violent way. Liu Chi's body was originally very thin, and this must have really angered Liu Chi. Unexpectedly, after many years, Liu Chi called himself the master again.
I held back my laughter.
"Hey? So you're not deaf. My grandpa said you can leave now!"
Liu Chi seemed to understand what I meant and closed the book in his hand with reluctance. I found that there were a few more books on the table besides the ones I had just brought.
Liu Chi walked out of the study and saw two old men in front of him drinking tea around a small tea table in the living room.
"My friend, come and sit over here."
Qinglin waved his hand in my direction, and I think Liuchi should understand what he meant.
Liu Chi walked over, followed the other two's example, drank the half cup of tea on the table, and then sat down.
"That cup is~" Qinglin stretched his hand up to the air, then put it down and laughed. He picked up the teapot and poured half a cup into the cup in Liuchi's hand.
Liu Chi looked at the teacup in his hand and drank it all. Qinglin then picked up the teapot and poured him another cup.
He drank it all in one gulp.
"Hehehe~ My dear, don't worry, drink slowly."
Qinglin poured him another cup, and Liuchi drank it all in one gulp.
After several reincarnations.
"Stinky old man, can you please stop pouring water for me? Do you want to drink me to death?" Liu Chi was a little dissatisfied, not understanding why Qinglin kept pouring water for him.
Qinglin, who was pouring water, stopped what he was doing after hearing this.
"Haha~ You are so funny, little friend."
Liu Chi stood up and looked around.
"Oh?" Qinglin asked.
"I see Chi Chi is getting ready to leave and is looking for your front door."
Qinglin stood up, patted Liuchi's shoulder, and pulled me in front of the curtain.
He pulled his hands to the sides with force, and Liu Chi blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hands. After gradually getting used to it, he could see half of the cultivation academy. It turned out that old man Qinglin lived so high up.
"Old man? What are those people down there doing?"
"You mean them?" Qinglin pointed to a place.
"Ah."
"Oh, that one I guess is a practical lesson."
"Practical class? Is it a competition like they do?"
"Haha~ You're being serious, my friend. They are just practicing, trying to find their own shortcomings through sparring, so as to improve their own strength."
"Oh."
"I see that you seem to have a very deep understanding of magic. If you are free, why don't you come to my house more often? Give my granddaughter some guidance. I can see that she doesn't hate you. My old bones can't stand the torture."
As if he was thinking, Liu Chi did not answer, but kept his eyes on the students attending class below.
"I see that you don't seem to have a stable income. How about this? As long as you come to my place, I will pay you a reward. How about that?"
Liu Chi still didn't answer.
Shit! Why don't you just agree to it? They're giving it to you for free with lots of money, so why not refuse it? Liu Chi, are you stupid?
I don’t know why, as the “third person” responsible for the narration, I am so anxious like a fool at this moment.
"To be honest, I have a few ancient books that I have collected for many years. I wonder if you are interested?"
I think Liu Chi should be moved now? I was attracted by the word "ancient books".
"No! One day I will~"
Liu Chi's words were abruptly interrupted by Qing Lin.
"I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid you may not be able to spare the time."
Seeing that Liu Chi's eyes were fixed on the people below, I seemed to have found the answer I wanted in my memory.
The royal family never produces waste. The identity of a royal family means that they are different from ordinary people. Therefore, the royal family has a cruel system of survival of the fittest. The new generation must participate in competitions with the same family and then pass the qualification test before they can survive as royals. It is said that those new generations who failed in the competition and did not have outstanding qualifications all received box lunches, and this system is almost open and transparent within the royal family.
Liu Chi, or Mu Liu Chi, is an exception. Although the memory is not very complete, I guess something must have happened, so Liu Chi was simply expelled from the Mu family. As for the huge sum of money he left home, I really can't find where he put it.
I still remember that day during the royal martial arts competition, Liu Chi looked stupidly in the direction where his father and mother were sitting, not knowing what to do. In fear, he was knocked off the stage by a young man from the same clan. His mother covered her face and left, and only his father came to comfort me.
I still remember Liuchi's father touching my head and saying, "We'll beat him next time."
That night, my father did not return home, and my mother did not sleep either. Instead, Liu Chi woke up and found out about the situation. The next day, a tall and thin old man came to the house. I read through Liu Chi's memories, and of course I knew what he was doing, but Liu Chi at that age did not know.
After the old man's test, Liu Chi had neither any magic power nor physical condition to support high-intensity training, which confirmed his identity as a waste.
A few days later, Liu Chi's memory began to become partially incomplete.
I think Liu Chi might be protecting himself and escaping from reality.
"I'm free!" Liu Chi shifted his gaze to Qinglin and happened to meet Qinglin's eyes who was looking at him.
"Okay! Then I will be waiting for you anytime."
A pair of jade plates appeared out of thin air in Qinglin's hand, and the word "御" was particularly eye-catching among the exquisite lace.
"This is my ID card from the Imperial Guard. It allows me to enter and exit the Imperial Academy at will. Please accept it, young friend."
Liu Chi took the jade token and put it in his pocket without replying. He just turned his gaze back to the students below.
I don't know when Old Man Xiang also came over. The three of them were watching the competition at the same time. It seemed that the students below also noticed this, and the battle suddenly became intense.
……
However, their fighting seems to me to be no different from children playing around. But such fighting is still quite interesting, and the turtle punch is fun to watch.
Just as the four of them were watching with great interest, a dissatisfied voice was heard behind them.
"Hey! What are you three looking at? Are you so engrossed? And~are you two old men peeking at little girls again?"
"Yan'er, be careful with your words. We have guests here."
"Humph!"
Qinglin and Old Man Xiang both turned their heads subconsciously, as if Liu Chi didn't have this idea.
"Ah! That cup~"
"Boom!~"
I seemed to hear the sound of teacups hitting the tea table.
"What? Do you have any objection to me drinking water?"
It was still a dissatisfied female voice.
"Haha~No." Qinglin said with a smile.
"Hahaha~ My lady, Chi Chi drank from that teacup."
“Isn’t this my cup?”
"Hahaha~"
Finally, Liu Chi seemed to realize something and turned around. This time, my eyes met Qing Yan's directly.
Liu Chi didn't speak, and Qing Yan didn't speak either, and I was even more speechless.
I have to say, looking at Qingyan's tender facial features after such a direct eye contact, a familiar feeling came over me again. Maybe I was thinking too much.
In the eye-to-eye contest, the girl in front of me finally lost. I looked at Qingyan whose cheeks suddenly turned red, and I couldn't help laughing. Would my brother Liuchi be moved by a mere woman? That was impossible. I felt that there was no change in Liuchi's body and mind. At this moment, I just wanted to praise Mu Liuchi as a "monster".
"Ah!" The girl quickly covered her face with her hands and quickly ran into the study.
"Hey, old man Qing, is your granddaughter sick? I felt that she was a little abnormal in the study just now."
"Hehehe~ I don't know what you mean, but based on my years of experience, it should be that you are handsome and Yan'er is shy."
Qinglin touched his chin, looked in the direction of the study and said with a smile.
"It's almost noon." Liu Chi turned his head back, raised it and looked directly at the sun.
"Oh~ That's it. I won't ask any more about your affairs."
The scenery in front of me changed, and I returned to the place where I met old man Xiang in the morning.
"My friend, remember to come often."
After saying this, Qinglin disappeared from my sight, leaving only old man Xiang looking at me with a smile.
"Chichi~ remember to call me when you go to Old Man Qing's house."
"why?"
"Hey, let's take advantage of Chi Chi."
"Oh." After Liu Chi said this, he walked directly towards the slums. Through Liu Chi's peripheral vision, I saw that old man Xiang was still standing there looking in my direction.
