"You brat, you really dare to ask!"

The old man in the tuxedo said angrily from the side, and then looked at his young lady with a confident face: "How could the young lady tell the truth about such a secret skill that can't be exchanged for ten thousand yuan..."

"It doesn't matter if I tell you."

Nan Ning smiled slightly and said: "This method really exists. It is an ancient secret technique. My father once mentioned it to me, but I don't know how to practice it specifically. I can write a letter back and ask my family to send one

share."

Xu Shen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party actually knew. Although he was not a Ruins Destroyer, he knew more than them. Is this the natural advantage brought by the family environment?

"Miss...Miss..."

The old man in the tuxedo was dumbfounded, and after a long pause, he muttered to himself: "The young lady must have had other purposes, and used a secret technique to win over this person. Anyway, this secret technique is extremely difficult to practice. If this kid is halfway through practicing it, if he wants to follow up, just

He must beg the young lady. In this case, he will naturally be loyal to the young lady and become a confidant cultivated by the young lady in this city..."

"As expected of you, you are a young lady. She is far-sighted and thoughtful. Even if the head of the family is only 100% considerate, it is still enough to fool this brat into a mess."

He nodded as he spoke.

"Well, this kind of thing is very precious, right? How can I repay you?" Xu Shen couldn't help asking Nan Ning after hearing the old man's words.

Nan Ning was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "No need to repay me, you have taken care of me a lot during this time, not to mention that the secret technique is just a handwritten copy, so there is no loss to us, as long as you don't spread it everywhere."

"Miss...Miss..."

The old man in the tuxedo was stunned for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "That's high!"

"You are worthy of being a young lady. Even I will be moved after hearing these words. This kid will definitely be determined to give without asking for anything in return. This method of winning people's hearts is indeed like a master!"

Your lady doesn’t seem to have this intention... Xu Shen looked straight and said to Nan Ning: "Taking care of you is what a bodyguard should do... In addition to this secret technique of cultivating the spirit, is there anything else, such as practicing swordsmanship?

Or combat type?”

The old man in the tuxedo suddenly jumped to his feet and looked at Xu Shen angrily. His fingers excitedly poked Xu Shen's eyeballs, but they overlapped each other: "You brat, don't be too pushy. The lady is kind-hearted, but you really bullied her?

!”

"Sword practice?"

Nan Ning was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "It seems there is. I'll ask later, but it's a pity that Butler Hong isn't around. Otherwise, I would have known if I asked him."

The old man in the tuxedo was excited: "Miss, you finally remembered me. I am here, I have always been here!"

"Then I'm sorry to bother you. I will repay you if I have the opportunity in the future." Xu Shen said seriously.

The face of the old man in the tuxedo suddenly fell, and he turned to look at Xu Shen coldly: "Repay? How can you repay me, a second form from the bottom of the city? If the young lady hadn't insisted on coming out to experience this time, you, a pariah, would have spent the rest of your life.

You haven't even had the chance to see the young lady's face, and to repay you, letting you see the young lady's beauty is already a gift to your whole city!"

"Don't worry about small things." Nan Ning smiled.

"Miss, this is not a trivial matter..." The old man in the tuxedo looked like he was about to cry. The young lady prefers laws and does not like these things, but these are not trivial matters. The secret technique of spiritual cultivation alone is enough to make even the king jealous.

Yes, although other kings have transcended the barrier of life and death and have also honed their cultivation methods, they are not in order.

The system here refers to the complete cultivation system and has the function of inheritance.

Most of the cultivation methods of these kings in the bottom city are wild methods, which are only suitable for themselves and cannot be used by another person. This is why it is difficult to develop a scale and pass it down from generation to generation.

Xu Shen smiled slightly, no longer being polite, and did not say thank you for the kindness. People who are polite may not really take the kindness into their hearts, but in reality, such people are indeed more popular.

When they came to the door, they each returned to their rooms.

Xu Shen injected himself with the purifying agent and continued to draw his sword and practice.

While practicing, the evil force in the body is also constantly rotating to purify it.

After half a month of absorption and purification, the xu power in Xu Shen's body not only did not increase, but actually decreased.

Although the amount was reduced, Xu Shen clearly felt that the speed at which he drew his sword and every aspect of his attack were sharper than before.

The speed of the circulation of Xu power significantly improves his combat effectiveness.

Xu Shen estimated that the amount of energy in his body was now around 280, which was still a bottomless pit without any feeling of fullness.

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

Xu Shen followed Nan Ning every day, and he saw that Nan Ning's changes during this period were particularly obvious. Compared with the youthful and lively life when she first came to Dicheng, she was obviously more restrained and mature.

Now that she has arrived at the City-State Guardian Center, Nan Ning is no longer anxious to find cases, and spends more time looking through files and checking past cases.

In addition, occasionally I will sit somewhere or look somewhere, alone in a daze.

Xu Shen has been working with her for so long, and he can understand her mood. He has seen all kinds of bloody scenes, ugly words, and indifferent attitude, which will make people feel chilling.

"When do you plan to go back?"

In the archives room, Xu Shen leaned on the shelves and was also flipping through the files.

With his and Nan Ning's status, normally they could only apply to read a certain volume from inside, and they would need approval from above to get it, but now they can go in and out at will.

As smart as Nan Ning, she also realizes that her identity as Bai Yue may have been exposed.

But she doesn't care anymore.

She believed that what she saw was already the true appearance of Dicheng and could no longer be true.

After hearing Xu Shen's question, the old man who was following the girl like a follower couldn't help but raise his head to look at his young lady.

Nan Ning lowered her head and flipped through the files and said, "Let's go back when the things here are almost settled."

This is obviously perfunctory.

"The things here can't be dealt with, just like the ruins, they can't be cut off." Xu Shen's eyes were melancholy. Now he could gradually understand the mood of the old man in a tuxedo who followed the girl. He didn't want him to stay in the bottom city any longer.

.

If he was just performing a bodyguard mission at the beginning, then after getting along with him for a long time, Xu Shen has already regarded the girl as his good friend.

The other party comes from the inner city, values ​​life, has no airs, and does not have the pretentiousness of an aristocratic lady. She has a lively and cheerful personality, and it is hard not to like her.

Xu Shen didn't want her to stay here and continue to be polluted.

"As long as we keep dealing with it, we will be able to finish it one day." Nan Ning raised her head, looked at Xu Shen with determination, and said: "The laws here do have many loopholes and are very imperfect, like a mess, but they are correct

Because of this, if no one is willing to deal with it, it will never get better. It’s like a dirty room. I don’t know where to start cleaning it, so I choose not to clean it. But... as long as you clean it carefully, you will definitely be able to clean it.

.”

"But it will still get dirty again."

"Then let's clean it again."

The girl said: "Our gardener will trim the branches that have grown out every once in a while. Some things need to be maintained, and they cannot be done permanently at once."

Xu Shen was slightly startled and stared at her.

"If the gardeners give up, who will maintain the estate?"

Nan Ning's eyes shifted to the files stacked on the shelf: "You are in the bottom city and know their difficulties better than I do. If even capable people like us give up on them, then who will stand up for them?"

Xu Shen was silent, unable to answer.

There was a time when he also hoped that such a person would appear.

Like a hero, save all people.

But now, when such a person appears, he persuades him not to wade into this muddy water.

"Miss..." The old man in the tuxedo had complicated eyes and also fell into silence.

"What if it can never be solved?" Xu Shen looked at Nan Ning: "You are still young, maybe you have spent your whole life thinking about it but still can't solve it?"

"At least I have struggled for this thing in my life." Nan Ning said seriously: "It is also a lucky thing for a person to find something he wants to do in his life and to fight for it unswervingly until the end of his life. .”

Xu Shen couldn't quite understand this ideal that went beyond eating and drinking, and asked, "Does this make sense?"

"Is it meaningless?" the girl asked back.

Xu Shen didn't answer.

"When there is a crack in everything, that's where the light comes in!"

Nan Ning looked at Xu Shen with a smile on her lips: "I hope I will become one of the beams of light. My teacher will be like a ray of light throughout his life, shining on the inner city. I hope it can shine on the inner city. I believe there are many people here. I have this belief, but I don’t have the opportunity and ability, so someone needs to take the lead.”

Where the light came in... Xu Shen felt a little dazed.

He stared at the girl in front of him, whose eyes were as bright as stars, and it seemed that he couldn't look straight at her at this moment.

Like a beam of light shining into an abyss.

only……

If it were to fill the cracks, would the light shining in be more like a sharp claw?

…

…

The next day.
