Chapter 170 The fastest knife in the world

Chapter 170 The fastest knife in the world

Tao Ying still woke up very late this morning and strictly followed the standard of "lack of sleep will make you grow old".

But she looked much better than the previous two days.

After a day and two nights of recuperation, the internal damage he suffered in the competition with Tang Yue the day before yesterday was better than anything else, and he had recovered 89% of his internal strength. He was not far from recovering and returning to his peak state.

"Sister Lian, what are you doing with this broken wood?" Tao Ying was quite confused when she saw the woman mysteriously offering the treasure to her.

She didn't treat the woman as a servant and just called her "Sister Lian" affectionately.

The woman, Sister Lian, continued to hand the wooden board and said solemnly: "Miss, take a closer look."

"Oh." Tao Ying responded, lowering his head and observing carefully.

What caught his eye were two small boards made of wood. They looked like they had been removed from furniture. Tao Ying looked strange and couldn't figure out what was so good about two ordinary small boards.

Just as he was about to speak, Tao Ying's eyes suddenly widened slightly, his pupils shrank, and he stared at the cross-sections of the two small boards!

"This is..." She couldn't help but use her plain white hands to snatch the small board from the hands of the woman Sister Lian.

With one hand in hand, he opened the bow left and right, looking this way, then that way. Later, he thought he was seeing something wrong, so he raised the board and looked at the sky again.

After a long time, Tao Ying put down her hands, held the small board tightly, looked at the woman seriously, and asked in a nervous voice: "Sister Lian, where did this wood come from? Whose handiwork is it?"

Sister Lian smiled, feeling very relaxed and not at all restrained by a servant. She shrugged at Tao Ying and said, "Miss, have you noticed?"

Tao Ying glanced at her: "Nonsense, even you can see it, can I not see it?"

Sister Lian smiled and said: "Yes, I am very blind, but with my level as a young lady, she is naturally much better than me!"

Tao Ying coaxed: "Looking at the academy, who doesn't know that Sister Lian's piercing eyes can see everything, and no one dares to lie in front of you. Sister Lian, please tell me, whose handiwork is this?"

"This is the guest you invited this morning!"

"Guest? Who?"

"Master Chu!"

"Chu...Chu Tang?!" Tao Ying exclaimed, looking down at the board. When she raised it, her eyes were full of doubts, "Sister Lian, what's going on?"

The woman, Sister Lian, took care of herself and told her about her encounter with Chu Tang and how she helped him clear the table in the room.

"After cleaning it up, I found that the broken part of the table was very unusual. He said it was caused during martial arts practice, but the cut surface was as smooth as if it had been painted. I have only seen this kind of method on the magic weapons of the eighth grade or above. Pass. Miss, he doesn’t have a rare magic weapon, does he?” The woman was very curious.

Tao Ying said decisively: "The magic weapon is a magic weapon, but it is not rare, and it is not an eighth-grade magic weapon, it is just a fifth-grade magic weapon."

The woman exclaimed: "Then this aspect..."

Tao Ying's expression gradually became serious, and she said slowly: "This is the result of a sword technique. It is fresh and hot, and there is still some sword energy left on it!"

"Sword skills?" Sister Lian was puzzled, "What sword skills can cut such a section."

"Quick knife!" Tao Ying said with an incomprehensible expression.

"Quick...how fast?"

Tao Ying stared at the wooden board in his hand for a few seconds, then said leisurely: "It's so fast that people can't react with their eyes! It's so fast... it's faster than I've ever seen in my life! If the level of skill is profound enough, it can be said to be the fastest knife in the world. It’s not an exaggeration!”

"Ah?!" Sister Lian was shocked.

The fastest knife in the world?

She knew that her young lady was a martial arts fanatic. She had traveled alone in the world more than ten years ago, had seen a lot of the world, and had a very high level of understanding of martial arts.

Even she said she had never seen such a fast sword technique, it must be unimaginably fast.

Taking a deep breath, Tao Ying asked seriously: "Sister Lian, are you sure it was Chu Tang who did it?"

Sister Lian thought for a moment and said, "It was indeed taken from his room. Judging from his expression, it doesn't look like he was lying, and it probably wasn't caused by an outsider."

After hearing this, Tao Ying was silent at first, and then laughed heartily: "What a great swordsmanship! What a magic weapon Yitian! What a little head catcher in the Four Realms!"

Sister Lian said: "Miss, this person is not as simple as he seems!"

Tao Ying snorted: "Of course it's not simple. Anyone who underestimated him has paid the price! However, I thought I had already looked up to him, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated him. If you hadn't brought this table, I would have really I didn’t know he had such a sharp knife!”

"The lady thinks very highly of him!"

"High? No, no, no, maybe it's still low! I thought he was strongest in Qinggong, but now it seems that his sword skills are even more powerful! Sister Lian, where is he now?"

"I told him about the lady's invitation, and then asked him to have dinner first. He should be in the front yard now."

Tao Ying looked at the sky and said: "Then I have to go over and see how our team leader Chu will pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger today. Hey! Sister Lian, please put this wood in my house. I will take a closer look at it in my free time." Observe.”

With that said, she stuffed the small wooden board back into Sister Lian's hands, and then Shi Shiran went to the front yard.

The front yard of Wutong Academy.

It covers an area of ​​one or two acres and is decorated like a Jiangnan garden.

Surrounded by pavilions and corridors, lakes and rockeries, rugged rocks, and ancient vines, it forms an exquisite scene of small bridges and flowing water!

At this time, the spacious ground paved with stone slabs was filled with several short futons, arranged on both sides.

A short table can accommodate two or three people, and depending on the scene, it can seat as many as forty or fifty people.

The exquisite porcelain plate on the coffee table holds washed fruits.

At the far west, there is a low table placed horizontally, which also has a small amount of fruits and melons on it, but there is only one futon, so this is obviously where the seats are seated.

At this time, three or three college students had arrived here. Some had already found seats to sit down, while others were scattered around, chatting about something.

Among these students, there are men and women, but it seems that most of them are young people.

Chu Tang had arrived at the front yard a moment before Si Shi. He looked around and found no one he knew, so he had to stand far outside.

To be honest, he was wondering why Tao Ying invited him here.

No matter how you look at this place, it looks like a place where literati gather to dance and practice writing. What does it have to do with him being a warrior?

If Tao Ying approached him for a martial arts competition, Chu Tang would still think it was more reliable.

But it’s all here, so just take a look at it with peace of mind.

After waiting for a while, I heard a sound of warblers approaching from a distance.

Looking around, Chu Tang's eyes lit up, and he finally saw an acquaintance——

The one at the head was Su Qingyue, walking towards him quickly.

Su Qingyue looked very good today. Her previously pale face was slightly flushed with excitement. A small piece of yellow brocade tassel hung from the waist of her plain white dress, and she looked very energetic.

Next to her, there was a girl about the same age as her, walking with her, talking and laughing, creating a youthful and bright scene.

And behind them, Chu Tang also saw a familiar figure——

It was the maid Xiaoyou. She hurriedly followed behind, her eyes focused on Su Qingyue, fearing that she might fall if she walked too fast.

"Chu Tang!" Su Qingyue waved to Chu Tang from a distance, then walked faster, holding the skirt of her lower body with both hands, and came to Chu Tang like a flying butterfly.

Only then did Chu Tang realize that Su Qingyue was what a girl should look like at this moment. She was too reserved before.

"Ms. Su." Chu Tang cupped her fists in greeting.

Su Qingyue pulled the girl next to her and said: "Chu Tang, come here, let me introduce you to me. This is my best friend in Qingcheng, the daughter of the Shen family in Qingcheng!"

This is a girl's family, so naturally we can't call everyone by name.

"I've met Miss Shen!" Chu Tang then took a look at Su Qingyue's companion.

It is said that a high-quality person has high-quality friends around him. Although Su Qingyue has not fully grown, she has begun to show her beauty, and her best friend Miss Shen is not bad looking either.

Judging from her age, she should be about a year older than Su Qingyue, taller and plumper than the latter.

Su Qingyue has a softer oval face, while Miss Shen has a fair face with some edges and corners, which makes her look more heroic, but she is also a beautiful face that can be both angry and happy.

And her dress is a white outfit. When she wears it, it is convex in the places that should be convex and concave in the places that should be concave, which greatly shows her figure.

Chu Tang only felt that he saw a familiar temperament in her body.

"Is he a martial arts practitioner, or is he imitating Tao Ying?" Chu Tang quickly thought of this.

"Boss Chu, I've admired him for a long time. It's better to meet him than to be famous!" Miss Shen also followed Chu Tang's example and gave him a fist-clasping salute when she met him, exactly like a woman from the world.

Chu Tang had no choice but to say that the reward was a reward.

Su Qingyue raised her little head and said to Chu Tang: "Although Sister Shen was born in a family of officials, she has always yearned for the martial arts. She likes to listen to martial arts stories the most. In the past two days, she has been asking me to tell me what happened along the way. , I admire your deeds very much, and you have always said that you want me to bring her to see you, and now you have finally fulfilled your wish!"

Hearing this, Chu Tang looked at Miss Shen and saw her smiling, and heard her say: "Bandou Chu is very promising at this young age. He has become a powerful figure in the Liangzhou martial arts community at a young age. Today, I can see the charisma of Leader Chu. It’s a little girl’s honor!”

I have to say that it is indeed very pleasant to have a beautiful woman as a fangirl.

Chu Tang felt secretly happy and said calmly: "Miss Shen is too flattering to Mr. Chu."

Miss Shen quickly said: "No praise, no praise, I mean it sincerely. Mr. Chu, the little girl is quite good at martial arts. She also asked her family to invite masters to teach internal martial arts, boxing and kicking. Unfortunately, her qualifications are not high. She is seventeen this year. He is now 3 years old, and he has just entered the second realm. He is just a little stronger, and he can't do anything famous.

"As for Chu Bantou, who is only twenty years old, he is already in the middle third realm, and he is not even in the ordinary fourth realm. Even Cheng Feng is not your opponent, and he even defeated the Cheng family's battle formation. This shows your martial arts qualifications. What a blessing! Leader Chu, I have a merciless request for you, I wonder if it’s convenient for you to tell me?"

Chu Tang glanced at her, ignored her longing eyes, and said lightly: "Since it's unkind, and I'm afraid of inconvenience, I think it's better not to say anything."

"Uh..." Miss Shen was stunned.

Her beautiful eyes widened, looking in disbelief.

Was she rejected?

This is the first time in so many years that someone has rejected her so directly in front of her!

She can't be tricked anymore.

"Chu Tang!" Su Qingyue shouted eagerly, stamping her feet aside.

She first apologized and said a few words to the daughter of the Shen family, then grabbed the corner of Chu Tang's clothes and pulled him several steps away, and then whispered: "Chu Tang, do you know who Sister Shen is? To reject her like this?"

"She's the daughter of the Shen family, you said so." Chu Tang chuckled.

"Then do you know the status of the Shen family in Qingcheng?"

Chu Tang replied: "If Chu guessed correctly, it should be the Shen family who became the governor of Liangzhou, right?"

Su Qingyue was surprised: "You know everything?"

Chu Tang shrugged and said: "Chu heard that the governor of Liangzhou who guards Qingcheng came from the Shen family in Qingcheng, and you are the young lady of the Su family in Qingcheng. Anyone who can be friends with you must have a very simple background, so he thought of it. Shen family."

Su Qingyue said in a low voice: "I introduced Sister Shen to you because I want you to hang out with her. With the Shen family supporting you, you won't have to worry about your future in the future."

Chu Tang was very moved when he heard this and said quickly: "Thank you Miss Su for your kindness. I am very grateful. However, I can already think of what Miss Shen wants to ask of me."

"you sure?"

Chu Tang smiled and said, "You must want me to teach her martial arts."

"You really guessed it!" Su Qingyue exclaimed.

Chu Tang asked back: "Is it true?"

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Su Qingyue's beautiful face, she pursed her lips and said, "Sister Shen is a person worth getting to know."

Chu Tang shook his head and said, "I can't teach her martial arts."

"But……"

"There is no but!" Chu Tang said firmly, "It really can't be taught."

That night Chen Suyue was about to take off her clothes in front of him, and Chu Tang always said the same thing.

Miss Shen, what's the difference? !

The Shen family is indeed very impressive. It would be no exaggeration to say that they are the best family in Qingcheng.

The center of Liangzhou is in Yuncheng, guarded by the governor of Liangzhou.

In Dayao, the governor was the military and political chief of a state, and could take charge of civil and military affairs. However, he was too busy to hold multiple posts, so the imperial court appointed a governor for a state.

The governor is the deputy to the governor, who comes from the civil service system and assists in handling the government affairs of a state.

According to common sense, the status of the governor of a state is much lower than that of the governor. One can only handle military affairs, while the other can only write and write.

Only when you have a gun can your back be straight!

However, compared with other states, Liangzhou is a special place. There are two cities, Yunqing and Qing, one with a master and the other, so the governor and the governor do not work in the same place.

Therefore, although the governor of Liangzhou who guards Qingcheng is only the second-in-command of a state in name, he is hundreds of miles away from Yuncheng. He can make decisions on many things without asking the governor for instructions.

In particular, Qingcheng also has the function of governing the eastern part of Liangzhou. It has both the presence of guards and garrison for suppression.

At a critical moment, the governor can mobilize these forces, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the governor of Liangzhou can dominate Qingcheng with one hand.

And with the support of the governor, the Shen family naturally looked down upon all the aristocratic families in Qingcheng.

Listening to Su Qingyue's words, Miss Shen is a direct descendant of the Shen family and has a respected status. Being on good terms with her will naturally bring a lot of benefits.

But Chu Tang really didn't have this ambition and had no intention of studying, so he naturally refused directly - in fact, he couldn't teach the martial arts of the panel.

Hey, something doesn't seem right, Chu Tang suddenly discovered that the martial arts skills of the panel can be taught to others.

The first is, of course, the magical power of wedding clothes, which can be transferred directly to others, as if giving the other person a chance to take root and sprout, and just practice it on their own.

Xu Jin was able to upgrade him from the first level to the third level, and Miss Shen, who was already in the second level, was naturally no problem.

The problem is, if a woman practices the unmatched strength of the Wedding Dress Magic, she might become muscular after practicing it - the picture is so beautiful that it makes people tremble and fear!

In addition, what can be taught is the art of drawing swords.

Pull, cut, and collect every day, just three simple actions, easy to understand.

However, if you can teach, whether you can become a talent or not depends on God.

Not everyone belongs to Fu Hongxue!

Practicing continuously for more than ten years, how many people can stand it?

Forget it, I won’t offend anyone!

After getting the exact answer from Chu Tang, Su Qingyue had no choice but to go back and explain it to the daughter of the Shen family.

After listening, the daughter of the Shen family walked up to Chu Tang and said: "Boss Chu, although you are unwilling to teach the little girl martial arts, it does not affect the little girl's admiration and respect for you. You are my friend, and the little girl is determined!" By the way, the little girl’s name is elegant!”

Su Ya?

Chu Tang was stunned, and then smiled: "What a name! That's really an honor for Chu!"

This girl is very interesting!

Before, I thought she was imitating their dean Tao Ying, but now it seems that her heroic spirit comes from the heart, from the inside out, from the heart to the mouth.

"Wutong Academy produces talented people!" Chu Tang sighed inwardly.

Su Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Ya did not blame her and could still talk and laugh with Chu Tang, and she also participated in it.

However, she did not notice that the three of them were talking enthusiastically, and the people around them saw it, and they were all surprised, talking in low voices, and couldn't agree on what they were talking about.

Among them, a young man said to the young scholar next to him: "Brother Qin, who is that guy? He can actually let the Shen family and Miss Su family talk and laugh with Yan Yan? Also, Brother Qin, hasn't Miss Su always been with you?" Are you close? Why do I ignore you today even though I know you are here?"

The young scholar showed a look of surprise on his face and snorted coldly.

He thought for a while, gritted his teeth, no longer hesitated, and immediately walked quickly towards Su Qingyue and the others, and started greeting Su Qingyue from a distance: "Qingyue..."
