After saying hello to Zhenjun Liuyun, Jiang Ning took Shen He and Qiqi down the mountain.
This time I went down the mountain mainly to do two things.
Buy a manual for Qiqi and bring a message for Zhenjun Liuyun.
Heading from Jueyunjian to Liyue Port, the first stop is Yujingtai.
On weekdays, Grandma Ping would take care of the glass lilies she cultivated here.
It's right to come to Yujingtai to find her old man.
"Big brother, big sister, long time no see!"
A long way away, Jiang Ning heard a familiar voice.
That was Xiangling waving to say hello to them.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Xiao Xiangling has grown a lot taller, and the baby fat on her face has disappeared, replaced by a delicate face with oval seeds.
The cute little kid with pigtails and a wobbly walk has now turned into an eccentric primary school student with a double bun on his head.
At this time, Xiangling noticed Qiqi beside Jiang Ning, so she took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, my name is Xiangling!"
Facing the enthusiastic Xiang Ling, Qiqi blinked and responded cutely: "My name is... Qiqi..."
"Qiqi? Your name is so easy to remember, I've written it down!"
"Qiqi...will also try hard...to remember Xiangling's name..."
Qi Qi took out the manual from her pocket, found a blank space on the dense paper, and silently wrote Xiang Ling's name.
That way you won't forget.
Qiqi's act of writing notes also caught Xiang Ling's attention, and she took a curious look at the contents of the paper.
[Qiqi’s birthday is March 3, the same day as Jiang Ning]
[I have to say good night to Jiang Ning and Shen He every night]
[Jueyunjian is Qiqi’s home]
Most of the above content has no logic and seems to be out of context.
Only Qi Qi can understand this notebook.
"Xiang Ling, what are you busy with?"
At this time, Jiang Ning asked.
He noticed that Xiang Ling's hands and feet were tied with sandbags.
"I'm practicing basic skills, Zama Step!" Xiang Ling responded.
"Zamabu?"
"Hmm, Grand Master said that after I have mastered the basic skills, he will officially start teaching me how to use weapons!"
In the game, Xiangling is not only an excellent cook, but also a good gunner.
She became a disciple of Grandma Ping. As a disciple of the Immortal, she naturally knew some skills to protect herself.
Jiang Ning remained calm and silently used his golden eyes to check Xiang Ling's age, and found that Xiang Ling was nine years old.
This is the right age to practice martial arts.
Looking back on those years, Shen He started to get into contact with weapons at about this age.
"Brother, what weapon do you think is best for me to learn?"
At this time, Jiang Ning's thoughts were interrupted by Xiang Ling's question.
"Master asked me to choose the type of weapon, but I don't know how to choose."
Xiangling has difficulty choosing. She feels that she is interested in every weapon.
I really can’t make up my mind, so I want to hear Jiang Ning’s opinion.
"You need to choose a weapon that suits you based on your personality, way of doing things, etc." Jiang Ning expressed his opinion.
"It's so profound, I can't understand it at all!" Xiang Ling shook her head repeatedly.
Looking at Xiang Ling who was puzzled, Jiang Ning smiled: "Just listen to what others say, but in the end you have to make your own decision. Choose whatever weapon you think is easy to use."
"Use whatever weapon you feel comfortable with. Okay, I'll remember this sentence!" Xiang Ling was enlightened.
"Brother, what kind of weapon do you think is easiest to use?"
Jiang Ning thought for a while and replied: "My favorite among all weapons is the gun. The longer the gun, the more I like it, such as the Barrett."
Barrett?
Xiangling tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion.
The name of that gun is really novel. Is it a long gun passed from another country?
I would really like to see it if I have the chance!
"Xiang Ling, isn't Grandma Ping here?" At this time, Jiang Ning asked.
He observed at Yujing Terrace for a while, but did not see Grandma Ping.
"Master went to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones. He should be back soon." Xiang Ling answered.
As soon as she finished speaking, she continued: "Come, come, Master is back!"
Jiang Ning looked in the direction of Xiangling's finger and saw Grandma Ping walking towards this direction in a leisurely manner.
"Jiang Ning, Shen He, long time no see." Grandma Ping greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Grandma Ping." Jiang Ning and Shen He said in unison.
"Okay, okay." Grandma Ping nodded slightly and responded twice.
She looked at Jiang Ning and Shen He, her eyes filled with the kindness of the elders in the family towards their younger ones.
"We haven't seen each other for a few years, and you have grown up a lot." Grandma Ping sighed with emotion.
"To be honest, when we met just now, I almost didn't recognize it was you."
Then, Grandma Ping's eyes fell on Qiqi.
"Qiqi hasn't changed much at all. She's still as cute and well-behaved as before."
Qiqi blinked blankly, hearing Grandma Ping's tone of voice as if the two of them had met before.
But she had no impression of Grandma Ping and could not remember her.
"Speaking of which, how is your master doing lately?"
At this time, Grandma Ping asked casually.
She has stayed in Liyue Port all year round and has not been to Jueyunjian for a long time.
So every time Jiang Ning and Shen He appeared, she would mention Zhenjun Liuyun.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandma Ping. Master, she is in good health." Shen He answered.
"She has recently developed a mechanism related to music, and she wants you to go up to the mountain to get together when you have time."
Shen He brought the message to Zhenjun Liuyun, which could be regarded as a perfect completion of the task assigned by her old man.
"That's right, I remember it."
"I'll go see her after I finish what I'm doing... Speaking of which, I haven't visited Jueyunjian for a long time." Grandma Ping couldn't help but sigh.
"Master, I also want to go to Jueyunjian! Can you take me with you then?"
When Xiangling heard this, she immediately became interested, her eyes shining brightly.
She only knew that Jueyunjian was the residence of immortals, but she had never been there. To say I'm not curious would be a lie.
Now that I had the opportunity to go to Jueyunjian, I naturally pestered Grandma Ping to take her with me.
"You kid, you usually get distracted while practicing, but you are more active when you go out to play." Grandma Ping joked with a smile.
"We'll see how you perform in the next period of time, and then I'll decide whether to take you with me or not."
"Okay!" Xiangling cheered.
She knew her master too well. As long as she didn't explicitly refuse, she agreed.
After that, Grandma Ping put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and started writing.
"Grandma Ping, are you preparing to practice calligraphy?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Master's handwriting is beautiful. The Adventurers Association specially asked her to write an event announcement." Xiang Ling explained helpfully.
"Upcoming Events?"
"Hmm, the Adventurers Association will hold a martial arts competition soon, inviting heroes from all walks of life to show off their skills."
"Speaking of which, big brother, do you want to participate in the competition?"
Facing Xiang Ling's inquiry, Jiang Ning shook his head: "No, I have no interest in this kind of competition."
"Where's eldest sister?" Xiangling turned to look at Shen He.
"If Jiang Ning doesn't participate, I won't participate either." Shen He shook his head gently.
"That's it, okay then." Xiang Ling snorted and said nothing more.
She lay down at the table and quietly watched Grandma Ping writing.
"The winner will receive a thousand rough stones...Master, what is this rough stone?" Xiang Ling asked in confusion.
A thousand rough stones?
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "But then again, it is also a good idea to participate in competitions to make friends with martial arts."
"I decided to participate in this martial arts competition."
