"woke up?"
The young man coughed slightly, sat up straight, and first stretched out his hand in confusion, staring at the palm in a daze, and then touched his heart.
"I'm not dead?"
"Um."
"Where's the wild boar?"
Sheng Ningning pointed to the meat roasting on the fire, "It's roasting, want a piece?"
His long eyelashes trembled, and he looked sideways at her. There was no emotion in his dark eyes, and he said calmly: "You saved me again."
"How rude."
"Thank you."
Sheng Ningning took off the crispy roasted wild boar meat, stuck a piece of barbecue on a bamboo stick, walked over and handed it to him, "Eat it, replenish your energy!"
The young man hesitated for a moment, took the bamboo, held it in his hand, and said in a very soft voice, "Thank you very much."
She returned to the fire, put the raw meat on the rack again, and started roasting it.
The guide to this world really shouldn't be too tiring. She was both a father and a mother, and she was escaping with a little loser. After only two days, she felt like she was about to die.
While he was at a loss, Yin Ling had already eaten the meat and came over.
"Let me do it."
"Do you know?"
Yin Ling observed her movements and said, "When the meat is almost burnt, you can just turn it over, right?"
"Um."
Seeing that he was a teachable boy, Sheng Ningning gave him the task of barbecue.
He woke up this time, ate again, and seemed to be in good spirits.
Sheng Ningning stepped aside, took a small piece of meat and started eating it, while saying, "Do you know how I saved you?"
The young man lowered his head, and his fallen hair covered most of his face. His expression could not be clearly seen, but his voice was faint: "You passed on your inner strength to me."
"It's good to know." She took a bite angrily, "it's costing half of my power."
"Thank you!"
"Don't be too hasty to thank me. Let me tell you straightforwardly. My internal strength is passed down from female to male, and from biological children to ordinary outsiders. You have received half of my skill today, and you can be my son or my apprentice. You choose one!"
The young man moved his lips and frowned tightly.
"Are there any other options?"
"Yes!" She smiled slightly, "I will kill you to vent my hatred."
The young man's face was cold, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was a little confused, "Is this really why you want to accept me as your disciple?"
"if not?"
She chuckled, "Your Yin family holds military power. Your father and brother are both experienced in the battlefield, but you are a weak little loser. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"..."
"Ying Zheng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor at the age of thirteen. And you, at the age of thirteen, became an abandoned son of the Yin family, were hunted down by your own brother, and were seriously injured by a small wild boar. Don't you feel ashamed?"
The young man's face was cold and his voice was cold: "Since you think I'm embarrassed, why do you accept a cowardly and incompetent waste as your disciple?"
Sheng Ningning bit off the last piece of meat and chewed it slowly, "I'm happy, I'm happy."
He turned his head to look at her, his eyes deep, "You and I didn't meet by chance. You actually approached me on purpose."
“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”
Sheng Ningning twisted the bamboo with her two fingers. The bamboo exerted force on her fingertips, like an arrow on a string, and shot out instantly, passing through his cheek.
He refused to dodge, letting the bamboo tip cut off his hanging forehead hair.
"Yin Ling, you have something to hide from me."
Sheng Ningning sneered: "Yin Xiuxian killed your mother and forced her to hang herself in front of you. I really don't believe you can let it go with such deep hatred."
The young man always lowered his eyes, waving his eyelashes slightly, and remained silent.
"It's a pity that you are too incompetent. Not only can you not avenge your mother, but you are hunted down by Yin Xiuxian. Now, I am willing to accept you as my disciple and help you revenge. Why, you are not happy anymore?"
He finally raised his eyes to look at her, and the firelight lengthened his figure, swaying in the dark night.
"What good does it do to you to help me like this?"
"Because, my next assassination target is Yin, Xiu, and Xian!"
Yin Ling's eyes flashed with surprise, "With your skill, isn't it more than enough to kill him?"
"The odds of winning are seven to seven," she said honestly, "but now the situation has changed, and it is difficult to get close to Yin Xiuxian, so I have changed my mind. Watching brothers kill each other is much more interesting than taking action myself. Don't you think so?"
Yin Ling frowned, as if she had made a lot of determination, and asked, "What do you need to become a disciple?"
Sheng Ningning smiled: "Just give me your valuable things as a apprenticeship ceremony."
"..."
Yin Ling finally saw through her nature, greedy for money.
Without any hesitation, he took off the jade plate finger from his hand and handed it to her respectfully, "This is your apprenticeship ceremony."
Sheng Ningning took it casually and put it in her pocket without looking at it. The things taken from him must be good and do not need to be appraised.
When she looked at Yin Ling again, Yin Ling was already on her knees and respectfully bowed to her.
"Disciple Yin Ling pays homage to master!"
"Get up."
Yin Ling slowly raised his head.
The firelight shone brightly, falling on his handsome eyebrows and the bridge of his nose, casting a layer of black shadow, and fine pieces of gilded gold were reflected in the young man's eyes.
Sheng Ningning was stunned, as if she could see through the young man's soul and see him when he grew up.
She sighed in her heart, Yin Ling, you should grow up quickly.
She couldn't stay in this day of soup and water!
Yin Ling saw her face turning green and white for a while, feeling a little confused, "Master?"
"ah?"
She woke up from a dream and came to her senses.
The young man's voice was cold, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, half-smilingly: "Reciprocity is a courtesy, where is the greeting gift that the master gave to his apprentice?"
The little boy even kicked his nose and got into his face.
Sheng Ningning reached out and flicked his forehead, and said viciously: "I have saved you so many times, but you still have the nerve to ask for a gift from me!"
Yin Ling pursed her lips and said stubbornly: "Then I owe you first."
Sheng Ningning sneered, "Since you have worshiped the master, you are one of your own. Tell the truth. Apart from sending your mother's ashes back to Gusu City, what else do you want to do?"
Yin Ling didn't hide anything this time and answered truthfully.
"Before my father died, he was afraid that our brothers would kill each other, so he set up a house for me in Gusu City. In order to separate us two brothers, all the military power in Jinling was given to my brother, and in Gusu City Over there, they arranged for me to pursue a career in business. But I didn’t expect that my brother would not let me go. In this case..."
Sheng Ningning smiled brightly: "Then kill him!"
-----------Dividing line------------
I want to speed up the plot and let little Yin Ling grow up faster!
I don’t know if I can grow up by writing two more chapters, but some things need to be explained clearly first.
