The speed of riding a horse was much faster, and it didn't take long for the three of them to descend the mountain.

After getting off the horse, Shen Yu handed the horse to Yi Xuanqing, said goodbye to the two, and walked towards the town.

It's not even evening yet, and the market in the town is already bustling with people.

Because it is close to Jiuyuan Mountain Villa, this small town is named Jiuyuan Town. It is a very prosperous town within a hundred miles. The headquarters of all major industries of Jiuyuan Mountain Villa are basically here. Although some dependent families In other places in Yunzhou, a lintel will also be built in Jiuyuan Town to facilitate communication.

Shen Yu strolled in the town, not shaking the saber around his waist, he was very leisurely.

There were still a few taels of silver in his waist, and Shen Yu was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he walked around the market and bought a new pair of walking shoes for himself and a walking swing for his mother. to an alley.

Stepping on the familiar bluestone path, the slightly damp breath in the air stimulated Shen Yu's nerves, giving her a strong sense of familiarity.

For a moment, there was a feeling of returning home.

The moment this emotion came out, Shen Yu was taken aback. It seemed that he really merged perfectly with the original body... This time travel is quite magical.

Beside an intersection in the alley, there is a small noodle shop.

The decoration of the noodle shop is simple, there is no extravagance at all, but it is quite clean and tidy.There are not many dishes on the menu, most of them are homemade noodles and some simple side dishes, and the price is very affordable.

At the entrance of the noodle shop, there was a young girl welcoming customers, her face was three times younger than Shen Yu's, she could be fifteen or sixteen years old.

Shen Yu remembered her, her name was Xiaoyun, she had offered to help the noodle shop before.

She came from a very poor background, her father was drafted away by the government three years ago, and there has been no news since then, it is not known whether he is dead or alive.There is also a young brother below, and the mother is not in good health, and the burden of the family falls on her.

Shen's mother originally hired a clerk to work in the lobby, but Xiaoyun came to plead, Shen's mother remembered that when she took Shen Yu to Jiuyuan Villa, she took her in.

Xiaoyun is indeed hard working and very enthusiastic in welcoming customers at the door, which also brings a lot of business to the noodle shop.

Shen Yu walked over, Xiaoyun had sharp eyes and recognized her at a glance, she ran over with a smile, took Shen Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Yu is back, and my aunt has been talking about you a lot."

Shen Yu smiled and held her back, and followed her to the noodle shop.

It's not time for dinner yet, and there are not many people in the noodle shop.

As soon as Shen Yu entered, Xiaoyun yelled into the kitchen: "Aunt—Sister Yu is back—"

As soon as the words were finished, the curtain of the inner kitchen was lifted, and a plainly dressed woman came out hurriedly, with flour still on her body.

"Xiaoyu is back," the guy at the counter who was fiddling with the abacus raised his eyes and smiled.

Shen Yu walked towards the woman and called mother.

"Hey," the woman looked Shen Yu up and down, and said with some distress, "I haven't seen you for a while, and Ah Yu has lost weight again."

"Well, it's inevitable that you will be tired after participating in the big competition." Shen Yu replied.

"What a big competition, it's worth working so hard." Shen's mother still looked distressed, "Find a seat and sit down, and mother will serve you a bowl of Yangchun noodles."

"Why is it useless?" Shen Yu bent his eyes, took off his waist badge and presented it to him, "Mother, I have become the chief disciple."

The beautifully crafted jade waist card seemed to be no different from ordinary stones in the eyes of Shen Mu. She just glanced at it casually, and beckoned Shen Yu to sit down, "Mother doesn't understand these things, as long as you are in good health, sit down first." , Mother, go and give it to you."

Others praised her as a genius and envied her for being the chief disciple, but only her mother would care about how thin she was.

Mother Shen doesn't understand, but someone understands.

As soon as Shen Yu's waist card flashed, the shopkeeper's buddies and some customers who came in were taken aback for a moment.

"The proprietress is so blessed to give birth to a girl who is so smart." An old man who was closest cast his gaze over and praised.

A guest beside him said with a smile: "It is said that the temple is too small to offer the Golden Buddha. I didn't expect such a big Buddha to be offered in this small noodle shop, Mrs. Boss."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed a little.

Although Shen's mother didn't understand the specific meaning of being chief, she also knew that everyone was praising Shen Yu, and she was also happy in her heart. She immediately smiled and said, "I'm happy today. We invited you to meet me."

"Good! Good!" As soon as he said this, everyone cheered again.

Shen Yu found a corner seat and sat down, drew his sword out of its sheath neatly, placed the sword on the table, and wiped it carefully.

Yuanzhen loves this sword very much. Although it is a very ordinary iron sword, he takes good care of it.

Shen Yu also likes it very much, she has never been exposed to this kind of thing before, it is very novel.

When she raised her head again, Xiaoyun suddenly sat opposite her, with her chin propped on her hands, smiling sweetly at her.

Shen Yu smiled, then lowered his head and wiped his sword again.

"Sister Yu, did you rely on this sword to come out on top?" Xiaoyun said.

Shen Yu didn't look up, and said casually, "That's right."

"Sister Yu, you are so amazing, you can be the chief in the Jiuyuan Villa where there are so many talents." Xiaoyun leaned forward, her big eyes full of admiration.

She was about to say something more, when she heard the shopkeeper call out: "Xiaoyun—a visitor—"

Xiaoyun hurriedly got up, "Sister Yu, I'm going to meet the guests first."

"Well, let's go." Shen Yu rubbed his sword, but still didn't look up.

A trace of loneliness flashed in Xiaoyun's eyes, and soon she put on a smiling face again, and walked quickly to the door to greet the guests.

After Shen Yu wiped the sword, he gently took it back, and when he looked up, he saw his mother walking over with a bowl of steaming noodles with a smile.

There are two thick slices of meat floating in the noodles, and vegetables are pressed underneath, which is very rich.

"Ah Yu, eat quickly, there are people in the store now, mother will go to work first." Mother Shen said with apologetic tone.

Shen Yu took it over, nodded and smiled and said, "Mom, go ahead and help you after I finish eating."

"This child," Shen's mother smiled, "Mother doesn't need your help, go upstairs and rest quickly after eating."

----

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Yu finished eating the noodles, took the bowl into the back kitchen, looked at his mother's busy figure and said, "Mother, let me help you clean the dishes."

"No need, no need," Shen's mother said quickly, "Didn't you come back to pack things this time, go up and pack up quickly, and rest early after packing up, and you will go up the mountain again early in the morning."

Shen Yu didn't listen, and insisted on helping Shen's mother wash the dishes before going upstairs.

She also has her own residence in the martial arts academy, but it is very small and rudimentary. She only puts some clothes, and many sundries and small objects are also kept at home.

When I come back now, I need to bring more clothes back.

Jiuyuan Town was too lively and bustling, the noodle shop didn't close until Xu hour, and Shen's mother, who had worked hard all day, went upstairs beating her back.

"Mother, you don't have to work so hard." Shen Yu felt a little annoyed, "I'm taking care of the food and lodging in the villa now, and we don't need to earn so much money. You can hire someone to do some work."

"Oh," Shen's mother sighed, and said: "The Yi family helped us a lot back then, and gave us this storefront. Mother doesn't want to owe anyone anything, and earns more money to return to the Yi family in the future."

Glancing at Shen Yu's saber on the table, Shen's mother said again: "Don't just blame me, it's you yourself. Why do you practice martial arts so hard? It's not that you can't support you with this noodle shop lady. You study, and if you don’t want to study, you can do a little business, and in the future you will marry a son who loves you, and live a peaceful and comfortable life.”

"You have to be a knight. The days when the refugees were homeless were too scary. I don't want you to live the days of homelessness again."

Shen's mother often told Shen Yu these words.

Shen Yu knew in her heart that their mother and daughter had been dependent on each other for so many years, and she was the only mother left.

But I still have unfulfilled ideals, and the burning fire in my heart has never been extinguished.

More importantly, she is the heroine......

Thinking in this way, Shen Yu searched the original body's memory, and refuted it with the words that the original body often said: "Mother, you know, Mr. Jiang has kindness to me, and I will definitely repay this kindness." .”

Shen's mother went over and closed the window, "Hey, why are you so stubborn? Knowing that there are many dangers ahead, you still want to fly moths to the flames and spend your whole life? Mr. Jiang's life and death are uncertain now, and it is very likely that he has..."

Shen Yu didn't say anything.

Going to the case and sitting down, she drank a sip of tea, thought for a while, and then said: "If the owner of the villa really passed away, then I should work harder, Jiuyuan Villa can't just go on like this."

In fact, she was still thinking in her heart, a vicious second female like Wei Tan can eat, drink and have fun with peace of mind, how can she get out of the scene?

And that magical Jiang Yi, the mystery about her has not been solved yet.

"Oh, mother can't ask anymore, let you go, but you have to remember that life is the most important thing at all times, and we never owe Jiuyuan Villa anything." Shen's mother shook her head and said a little seriously.

----

The next morning, Shen Yu woke up very early.

She packed her bags, and when she went downstairs, she found that Shen's mother had ordered a carriage for her.

After the two said goodbye, Shen Yu returned to Jiuyuan Villa.

The carriage couldn't get in when it reached the gate of the outer mountain villa. Shen Yu got out of the carriage with her luggage, and when she entered the villa, she met a few kind-hearted disciples who helped her transport her luggage to her residence on horseback.

After waving his hand and thanking him, Shen Yu entered the new residence.

This side is in the innermost part of the outer mountain, next to the inner mountain, and has a small residence.

Two of the houses were allocated to the new five chiefs.

Each house has an independent front and back yard, with three wing rooms, each of which can live in one room.The wing room is very spacious, and the living conditions are many times better than before when Shen Yu was a small and transparent martial arts school in the outer sect.

Putting things away, tidying up and cleaning up, getting to know the maids sent by the villa, getting to know the surrounding dining rooms and martial arts training grounds, the whole morning passed quickly.

Yi Xuanqing and Su Youxia only came in the middle of the morning, and at noon the three of them basically finished packing, so they went to the dining room together for dinner.

After dinner, Shen Yu suggested that we go to Neishan for a stroll together.

Now they have the chief waist card and are qualified to enter and leave the inner mountain.

Everyone had no objection, and went towards Neishan enthusiastically, and the guards at the mountain pass quickly let go after seeing the waist badge.

This is Shen Yu's first time entering Neishan.Yi and Su went in because of family reasons, but the number of times is also very few.

Standing on the edge of the outer mountain, you can actually vaguely see the buildings in the inner mountain. Unless it is particularly magnificent, the rest are not very real. Generally speaking, it is not too different from the outer mountain, but there are a little more luxurious buildings.

After actually entering, Shen Yu discovered that the biggest feature of Neishan is not the architecture, but the unique atmosphere.

How should I put it, the outer mountains are very large, mixed with dragons and snakes, and the atmosphere of the city life is relatively full.Arriving at Neishan, because there are elite disciples and elders of the sect living there, and there are also the warden and Qingfeng Terrace, the overall atmosphere is still a bit cold.

Inner sect disciples can basically have a small house per capita. Some houses are concentrated and contiguous, while others are far apart, which also reflects a sense of difference.

Not all inner sect disciples are here, some of them are sent out every year, and they are deployed in the major industries of Yunzhou Villa, and most of them have already married.

It is also for this reason that the number of disciples staying in the inner sect is basically stable at around 30 to [-], so the inner sect seems very empty.

After strolling around, there was no fun, so Shen Yu planned to go back.

Passing through a secluded path, from a distance, there seems to be a rather luxurious mansion behind the dense forest.

"What is this place?" Shen Yu asked.

Yi Xuanqing took a look and said, "This is Senior Sister Jiang's residence."

"Jiang Yi?" Shen Yu was skeptical, looking at this specification from a distance, it felt like it could be compared with the elder's mansion.

"Yes." Yi Xuanqing nodded.

Shen Yu was a little shocked, "She is too luxurious and corrupt."

Su Youxia also looked at it, and said, "It's inevitable. Senior Sister Jiang often receives guests, and the visitors are all distinguished young masters and ladies from Sanzhou. Naturally, it should be more luxurious."

"It is said that Senior Sister Jiang is enthusiastic, and prepares refreshments in the outer hall every day, and the disciples of the inner sect also go to visit, but I don't know if some people really want to learn martial arts or climb dragons and phoenixes... If we go now, we should be able to see them in the outer hall. Eat some delicious food, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the inner courtyard..." Su Youxia added.

Shen Yu quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no."

As she said that, she also made a joke with a smile: "Jiang Yi prepared the food and wine and waited for me, I won't even go~"

"Hush—" Su Youxia looked around, a little panicked, "You keep your voice down, what should you do if someone overhears you?"

Shen Yu was also a little guilty.Jiang Yi's martial arts are superb, and his internal strength is superb. If he is nearby, he may be able to hear every word with his sensitive hearing.

"Let's go, let's go back, just kidding, kidding." Shen Yu said, pulling the two of them away quickly.

Among the dense bamboos in the path, Jiang Yi was sitting at a stone table, drinking a cup of tea slowly, with a book of stories in front of him.

The cup of tea in his hand has already been picked up, but Jiang Yi is not seen drinking it, and the pages of the script have not been turned.

The maid on the side looked at Jiang Yi, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, the maid saw Jiang Yi smiled and put down the teacup.

"You send someone to inform Shen Yu, the chief of the outer sect, that I will invite her to Yifu as a guest at night."

"Shen Yu?" The maid was a little dazed, and repeated: "Is the new chief of the outer sect?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yi took a sip of tea and pursed his lips.

The maid was very puzzled, and boldly asked: "Miss, why is this?"

"Because some people are waiting for me to prepare food and drinks for her." Jiang Yi said with a smile, put down his teacup, got up and left, leaving behind the maid with a confused face.
