My sister and I grab a man

Adiu's so-called home is a rudimentary nest built with some discarded planks and rags.

It is more like a kennel than a place where people live.

With Xiao Ningming's height and injuries on his body, it was even more difficult to bend down and get in.

Fortunately, this "hut" was built in the depths of an abandoned alley, surrounded by garbage rats, no one should come in, safety is indeed safety.

Seeing Adiu beckoning him to come in and sit down, Xiao Ningming still waved his hand, asked the young man to pick up two wooden planks and put them on the side, half leaned on them, and it was considered a rest.

Although the white clothes on Xiao Ningming's body were already stained, they still looked very out of place with this place.

Adiu probably also noticed this, so he looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his dirty hair: "I look really bad here..."

"It's okay." Xiao Ningming adjusted his sitting posture. It seemed that this place looked very safe, and Xiao Ningming felt a little relieved. He closed his eyes and tried his luck, but it didn't work.

"Should you tell me why you are so weak now? You look nothing like the rumors..." Adiu didn't go back to his "room", but sat down beside him, Staring at him with a pair of eyes.

"What kind of person am I in the rumors?" Xiao Ningming asked.

"They said that you are very powerful, and you can beat a hundred people by yourself." Adiu looked at Xiao Ningming's weak appearance, "And they said that you are very cold, those red-eyed people on the street said that if you survived, they would kill them all. killed."

His tone sounded a little disappointed: "So they are afraid that you will come back to life, but the Demon Lord is looking for someone to save you from all over the world. Isn't the Demon Lord afraid that you will kill him?"

"Do you think I can kill him now?" Xiao Ningming slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at Adiu.

Adiu shook his head honestly: "I think you can't even beat me now."

"You didn't save me to hear my heroic deeds." Xiao Ningming felt helpless.

"No, I want to ask if you still accept apprentices?" Adiu moved closer.

"what?"

"They all said that the Demon Lord is your apprentice, and that the Demon Lord is very powerful. Although you are not that powerful, I think you must be very good at teaching disciples, otherwise you would not be able to teach such a disciple as the Demon Lord." Adiu's face was full of sincerity. .

Maybe this is childish nonsense.

Although Adiu's words were a compliment, to Xiao Ningming's ears, they turned into a kind of ridicule.

Xiao Ningming, a generation of sword fairy, a model of decency, how could he teach a disciple of the demon king?

Now that Lin Che is possessed, Xiao Ningming still doesn't know what people are talking about him?

Anyway, the four characters of "unfavorable start" must have closely linked him and Lin Che.

"Do you want to be someone like Mozun?" Xiao Ningming propped up his body with his hands.

"What about the Demon Lord? Let's forget it... I'm not as powerful as him." Adiu thought for a while, then said calmly, "I just want to learn some sword skills, and then go kill those people I hate. .”

"The person you hate?" Xiao Ningming couldn't help but get serious when he heard this.

This little boy seems to have been wandering for a long time, does he also have someone he hates?

"I remember his name, his name is Wuda." Adiu seemed to recall something, clenching his dirty little fists tightly, "He was originally the city lord of Mingdu, but after the demon king came, he became under the hands of the Demon Lord."

The former city lord of Mingdu City, who is now the right-hand man of the Mozun, must not have simple skills. Why would Adiu, a wandering boy, get involved with such a big man?

"What happened between you?" Xiao Ningming looked at Adiu, his expression was very calm, but the hatred in his eyes made Xiao Ningming feel bad.

"He killed my elder sister." Adiu said, he lowered his head and looked at the ground, his black and white eyes were wide open.

"Your sister?"

Xiao Ningming didn't know that Adiu still had relatives. Judging by his appearance, he should have already gotten used to wandering.

"Wuda is always bullying others in the city. Everyone dare not resist because of his status as the lord of the city...but my sister is different." Adiu said, "Sister is very brave, she is never afraid of anyone, I am here She grew up under her protection... But Uda took a fancy to Ajie and insisted on tying her back to his mansion, but Ajie refused and stabbed him, and then..."

Adiu swallowed: "That bastard skinned and hung my elder sister on the city gate for three whole days!"

Xiao Ningming was able to imagine the scene that day from Adiu's eyes.Nanzhao is different from the Central Plains, where mountains are high and waters are far away, and various resources are extremely scarce.

These small cities and towns built in Nanzhao actually rely on those demon cultivators to breathe.

These demon cultivators have stronger abilities than ordinary people, and the common people rely on them, and they will act recklessly under the premise of protecting the inheritance.

Like a cruel butcher and a flock of sheep in a pen.

These sheep will be eaten by the wild beasts outside if they leave the sheepfold. It is better to stay in the sheepfold obediently and enjoy life. Anyway, there are so many sheep here, the butcher's knife may not be able to cut themselves.

Xiao Ningming has been to Nanzhao several times before, and although he is not familiar with it, he still has some understanding.

The people here have long been used to being enslaved. They rely on those who feed on them, and they have long forgotten to escape.

Even if there are one or two leaders who want to take the lead in the charge, they will be ridiculed by people and deserve it after they end up dead.

"How long ago did this happen?" Xiao Ningming covered his fist with his hand and asked softly.

For such a little waif, wanting to kill a magic cultivator at the level of a magic baby is simply a dream.

"Two months ago." Perhaps feeling the warmth of Xiao Ningming's palm, Adiu's mood eased a little, but his voice was still muffled.

two months ago?

Does it mean that this incident happened under Lin Che's nose?

Although this should have been reasonable, thinking of Lin Che's indifferent expression when he heard about this matter put a heavy stone on Xiao Ningming's heart.

"Sword Immortal, please accept me as your apprentice! I must avenge my elder sister!" Adiu knelt on the ground and said.

Xiao Ningming looked at him, but remained silent.

Now that he himself is like this, how can he accept disciples?Although he sympathized with Adiu's experience, Xiao Ningming also understood the principle of protecting himself first and then saving others.

Adiu could see that Xiao Ningming was unwilling, so he kowtowed a few more times.

Xiao Ningming was about to get up to stop him, but his wound hurt from being pulled, so he took a breath and quickly sat back down.

"Adiu, now the Demon Lord is trying to make things difficult for me, and I don't even have the strength to fight back. If I accept you as an apprentice today, not only will I not be able to help you, but I will also implicate you." Xiao Ningming said the truth and the truth.

Lin Che's temperament was already weird. He had always cared about Bai Qianqian's existence before. If he accepted another unknown apprentice today and Lin Che found out, it would be even more serious.

Adiu thought that Xiao Ningming was disgusted with his background, so he sniffed: "Sword Immortal, I know that I am not worthy to be your disciple, but I really want revenge. I will go to Wuda to take revenge at night, so I can comfort my sister!"

A layer of mist formed in Adiu's eyes.

Xiao Ningming looked at him and sighed.

So much alike, so much alike...

No matter what aspect this Adiu was, he was too similar to Lin Che back then.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Xiao Ningming seemed to have returned to the way he first met Lin Che. At that time, he was also dirty all over, except for such a pair of eyes, which were clean and bright.

"Let's talk about it after I recover from my injury."

Xiao Ningming could only coax the child like this.

Adiu could see that there was still room for detours, so he quickly grinned and said, "Okay! I'll go out and find medicine for you!"

After saying that, he got up from the ground and ran out quickly.

When it was getting dark and Xiao Ningming fell asleep unknowingly, Adiu returned to this deep and messy alley.

"Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal!" Adiu gently shook Xiao Ningming awake.

As soon as Xiao Ningming moved, he was stung by the injuries on his body. He took a breath, opened his eyes, and found the person in front of him smiling at him with a bruised nose and a swollen face:

"Sword Immortal, I found some gauze and medicine, wrap it up quickly, it will be better!" Adiu opened his clothes, and he hid all the things in his belly, "There are still some cakes. Take it and eat it!"

Seeing that Adiu's face was bruised and purple, and the corner of his mouth was still slightly bloody, Xiao Ningming asked, "Did you steal these things?"

Adiu thought that Xiao Ningming, an elegant and clean person, would disdain to use the stolen things, so he persuaded him, "I don't have money to buy them either, so I can only do this."

He frantically adjusted the knotted bandages in his hands, but felt a sudden chill on his hot face.

It turned out that it was Xiao Ningming's hand that touched his swollen cheek, but Adiu didn't dodge it. He felt that Xiao Ningming's hand was cold, and it was very comfortable touching his face.

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Ningming knew that he asked nonsense, but he still couldn't help but want to ask.

He didn't expect this child to suffer such a severe beating for himself.

"It's okay." Adiu smiled at him.

It's really okay, he has long been used to this kind of life of being beaten every day: "Come on, let me bandage you!"

Adiu reached out to pick off Xiao Ningming's clothes, but the other party held his hand, Xiao Ningming shook his head: "It's okay, I'll come by myself later."

"Then eat a pancake!" Adiu took out the hard pancake again and handed it to Xiao Ningming, "You haven't eaten today, you must be hungry."

Although this cake was specially stolen for Xiao Ningming, when Adiu held it in his hand, his stomach couldn't help but growl.

"Eat, I'm not hungry." Xiao Ningming pushed the cake back.

Adiu thought he was being polite, so he broke the cake into two pieces, and forced the biggest piece into Xiao Ningming's hands: "Then we all eat!"

Seeing his stubborn appearance, Xiao Ningming couldn't refuse again, so he smiled helplessly and took a bite of the cake in his hand.

The taste is like chewing wax.

Although people who cultivate immortals don't eat grains on weekdays, sometimes they will always eat some desserts and porridge in a decent way.The time before Xiao Ningming could be regarded as rich food, where did he eat such unchewy and unpalatable food.

Seeing Adiu as if he was eating some delicacy, he swallowed the piece of cake in his hand in two or three mouthfuls.Xiao Ningming swallowed it with restraint.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Adiu asked Xiao Ningming, who was eating slowly.

"Delicious." Xiao Ningming nodded.

"Just eat it!" Adi smiled happily.
