The big ship is moving forward in the sea. Although it is midsummer, it is also very cold at night.

Qi Yun chatted with Xiao Xinghan for a few words, and Xiao Xinghan said, "Time is up." Qi Yun reached out and pulled up the rope tied to Shangguan Ling.

Shangguan Ling knew light skills, but he was already a little confused by the sea water. The sea was very cold. When he was pulled back to the boat by Qi Yun, his face was blue and purple, his whole body was trembling, and he could still hear the sound of fighting between upper and lower teeth.

Qi Yun frowned: "Xinghan, he will fall ill like this."

Originally, Qi Yun didn't stop him, but felt that such punishment was no big deal for a big man. It was not necessarily a bad thing to endure some hardship, but in fact they all overestimated Shangguan Ling's physical fitness. Shangguan Ling, who grew up with a pampered life and was spoiled by Shangguan Ke and Shangguan Min, had no talent for martial arts practice than his father, the number one master of Tianyuan Great Six, but his martial arts skills were not strong enough. The reason was that he was not concerned about xiū     1ian, and he was afraid of hardship and fatigue. He thought it was almost the same. Shangguan Min was reluctant to force Shangguan Ling xiū     1ian. Shangguan Ling was always protected by his father too well. Meeting Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan was the first time he had a setback in his life...

Xiao Xinghan signaled Qi Yun to pull Shangguan Ling up. Shangguan Ling leaned against Qi Yun with wet all over. Xiao Xinghan grabbed his wrist, took his vein, and said lightly: "It's okay." Then he waved his palm suddenly and hit Shangguan Ling's chest.

Shangguan Ling vomited blood, then his eyes rolled and he fainted.

Qi Yun frowned, held Shangguan Ling and asked Xiao Xinghan: "Is it really okay for him to do this?"

"It's okay, tomorrow will be fine." Xiao Xing turned around and returned to the room after a cold conversation.

Shangguan Ling was stared at by Xiao Xinghan these days. He was under great pressure and the progress was not very smooth. He encountered a bottleneck two days ago. Xiao Xinghan threw Shangguan Ling into the sea for two hours, not just to punish him and give him a memory, but his physical strength is not strong enough and his mental state is not right. It is difficult for him to jump out of his comfort zone. He always implies that he can't do it, and he will never be able to overcome that hurdle. To put it bluntly, the two hours in the water are training hard. Whenever he can't hold on, he can only tell himself that he will persist for a while and be forced to break through his physical limits again and again.

Qi Yun sent Shangguan Ling back to the room and used his internal strength to help Shangguan Ling dry his clothes. Seeing that Shangguan Ling was breathing smoothly, as if he was asleep, Qi Yun shook his head slightly, sighed, and turned around and went out.

The next day, the sky was about to be bright, Shangguan Ling opened his eyes and was confused for a moment, because his last memory was still stuck in the cold sea water, struggling to support him, waiting for Xiao Xinghan to pull him up with great compassion, he was almost out of reach...

Shangguan Ling looked at his clothes. It was still the same one he had yesterday, and there was even some fishy smell of sea water, which made him frown slightly. However, he did not feel anything strange about his body. He did not get caught in the wind and cold, but instead felt relaxed in his body and mind. He tried to use his skills, and found that the bottleneck that he had been unable to overcome before had already broken through at some point!

So when Qi Yun kindly came to deliver breakfast to Shangguan Ling, Shangguan Ling said to Qi Yun very proudly: "Ayun, I broke through, hahahaha! You must be no match for me now! I will knock you down another day!"

Qi Yun really wanted to take the rice in his hand to Shangguan Ling's face, but Qi Yun, who had always been gentle, still held back, put down the rice, smiled and said, "Congratulations."

In fact, Qi Yun likes Shangguan Ling's personality very much. Shangguan Ling was a little arrogant, but now he is tortured by Xiao Xinghan so that he is becoming more and more down-to-earth, regardless of appearance or psychology.

Shangguan Ling is a heartless person. He woke up after sleeping and didn't care how miserable he was tortured last night. He seemed to have forgotten, but he only remembered that he had made a breakthrough and was very happy.

If you want to change someone, even if you can't beat Xiao Xinghan, you will never be able to resist, but you will never be tortured by Xiao Xinghan like that. Shangguan Ling can't stand it every time during the process, but after it passes, he soon forgets. Next time Xiao Xinghan wants to torture him, he still shouts "small meaning" and then admits with a sad face...

"Starting to death!" Shangguan Ling, who was once very obsessed with cleanliness, was wearing a wrinkled dress with a scent of sea and wrinkled hair, and a head that was as messy as a bird's nest. He didn't wash his face or rinse his mouth, and didn't wash his hands. He grabbed a piece of hot meat pie brought by Qi Yun, and bit off one third of it without any image. Then he threw the spoon aside, picked up the porridge, raised his head and poured half a bowl. Compared with Qi Yun, who was standing next to him, he was dressed neatly and elegantly, Shangguan Ling was like a sloppy ghost...

Qi Yun thought it was quite magical. Shangguan Ling once cared about his image more than anyone else. When he first got on the boat, he had to change his clothes a day, saying that he couldn't stand wearing a piece of clothes for two days, and he threw away his clothes once.

So Shangguan Ling acted like a young master and asked the Sword Dragon Guard to wash his clothes. The Sword Dragon Guard, who had always been able to do anything, really helped Shangguan Ling wash his clothes once, and then Xiao Xinghan found out that day. Xiao Xinghan forced Shangguan Ling, who had always been silent, to wash the clothes of everyone in the ship, and he couldn't finish it and didn't give him food to eat. Shangguan Ling's miserable appearance at that time, Qi Yun remembered it deeply.

After that time, Shangguan Ling washed his clothes by himself, but he didn't like washing clothes, and then slowly changed his clothes one day, which turned into three days and five days.

Shangguan Ling no longer dared to ask someone to boil water for him, saying that he had to take a bath every day, nor did he dare to say that he wanted to eat meat or fruit, because there were not many people on the boat, no women or children, and there was not even a real servant, so no one was pampered. Xiao Xinghan did many things himself, and no one spoiled Shangguan Ling's young master's temper.

Shangguan Ling's obsession with cleanliness has long been cured by Xiao Xinghan, and his picky food problem has been cured. Now he looks a little darker, but in fact he has a normal and healthier skin color. He has raised himself too much. After losing weight, his face has become more edges and more energetic and more masculine.

Shangguan Ling's mother was once the most beautiful princess in Xuanye Kingdom. His appearance was also very outstanding. She turned out to be a jade-faced young man, but now she is a real handsome man. Of course, she had to take a shower and comb her hair first. At least Shangguan Ling secretly found a mirror and looked at it, and felt that she had become more handsome...

Shangguan Lingfeng finished eating like a cloud. He picked up the teapot and poured half of the cold overnight tea. Then he looked up and asked Qi Yun: "Ayun, how long will it take to get to your side?"

Qi Yun thought for a while and said, "At the current level, it will take half a month."

"Then we will pick up people after we arrive, and then go back to the journey. When we return to the Divine Soldier City, we are afraid that it will be the end of the year!" Shangguan Ling frowned.

Qi Yun nodded slightly: "Absolutely."

When they first went from Penglai Island to Qisha City, it took more than two months. They came back from Shenbian City and walked faster. They would not be able to go back immediately after arriving at Penglai Island. They also had to go to Tianli Kingdom to pick up people. Not only were Xiao Yuesheng and Xiao Xinghan's parents, they would probably have to take Su Zhe's family over. At that time, there were elderly people and children, and many of them did not know martial arts and had to take a carriage. If even Jin and Tuoba Ling left together, they would have to send someone to inform them, and wait for them to arrange the matter at hand and rush to Penglai Island to meet. This time would not be too long, but if it went well, it would take at least one or two months. The return journey would take three months, and it would be almost the end of the year before they could return to Shenbian City.

Shangguan Ling said with a sad face: "I have already started to miss home."

Qi Yun smiled slightly: "Who do you want to meet the most?"

"Of course it's my father. I miss my father to death!" Shangguan Ling sighed and said, "I never dare to think about Xiao Xinghan's woman anymore. I used to think that Mu Yan couldn't afford to offend him, but now I know that Xiao Xinghan is not a human at all!"

"You say something else?" Xiao Xinghan's voice sounded at the door. Qi Yun looked at Shangguan Ling silently, feeling that Shangguan Ling was going to be unlucky again.

Shangguan Ling coughed twice and said, "Master, you heard it wrong. I didn't say anything."

Xiao Xinghan did not officially accept Shangguan Ling as his disciple. Shangguan Ling once had a fight with Xiao Xinghan. When Xiao Xinghan beat him to the point of his nose and face, he called him out. Later, he thought that calling Xiao Xinghan should be a little more kind to him, so he called him. As a result, Xiao Xinghan became more severely tortured him, and he did not dare to change his words...

"You say it again?" Xiao Xinghan said coldly at Shangguan Ling.

Shangguan Ling said weakly: "Master, I am wrong. I shouldn't mention Junior Sister Ajiu. It's all my fault. I will never mention her again. No, I will never miss her again. I don't think about her now, really!" Shangguan Ling said that he could not admit that he had said that Xiao Xinghan was not a human being, so he would admit that Mu Yan was wrong. This should be what Xiao Xinghan liked to hear.

As a result, after hearing this, Xiao Xinghan snorted and said, "It's not the junior sister, but the teacher's wife. I will call you wrong next time, and I will slap my mouth for a hundred times."

Xiao Xing turned around and left after a cold conversation, because he was just passing by, leaving behind the messy Shangguan Ling, and opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

Qi Yun found it very funny. Mu Yan is Shangguan Min's apprentice, so Shangguan Ling used to call Mu Yan a junior sister, which was right. But Shangguan Ling was stupid and insisted on going up to recognize Xiao Xinghan as his master. From Xiao Xinghan's words, Mu Yan, the girl Shangguan Ling liked, really became his master's wife, and her seniority was also very chaotic...

"Xiao Ling, what are you thinking?" Qi Yun asked Shangguan Ling with a smile.

Shangguan Ling fiddled with his messy head and said quietly: "When I think of calling Ajiu a master's wife, I want to chop myself up and throw it into the sea to feed the fish..."

"What you said is inoperable." Qi Yun's lips curled slightly.

"So I'd better go to xiū    1ian." Shangguan Ling wiped the tears that did not exist at all in the corner of his eyes, looked at himself, sighed and said, "I really miss my father."

"I'll go back." Qi Yun stood up and patted Shangguan Ling on the shoulder and said, "Actually, Xiao Ling, you are much better now than before. After taking a shower and changing clothes, you will be a handsome man again."

Shangguan Ling was immediately happy when he heard Qi Yun praise him: "Yes, right? I feel so too!"

"But xiū     11th time, you go quickly. Xinghan said yesterday that he would punish you again next time and he would hang you on the mast and expose you to the sun for two hours." Qi Yun said to Shangguan Ling.

Shangguan Ling's expression froze: "That's not possible! I think my skin color is just right now, so I can't be darker anymore. I'll go xiū    1ian!"

Shangguan Ling lost his words because the 11-year-old place that Xiao Xinghan set for him was not in the room, and he also set a time every day.

Qi Yun silently packed up the dishes that Shangguan Ling had used, and then went to help the Stegosaurus guards. Qi Yunxiū     1ian is also very diligent, but he has made a breakthrough in the past few days. Waiting for a suitable opportunity, Xiao Xinghan said that he would relax and not just xiū    1ian.

Shangguan Ling was not punished this day. He ate the seabird that Xiao Xinghan himself beat during dinner. He shouted at his master and said so happily, regardless of whether he could not accept that Mu Yan was his master's wife, because as time went by, he had thought of Mu Yan less and less. Even if he thought of him, he did not have the regret of seeking it before.

Divine Soldier City.

Shangguan Ke has chosen an island north of Shenbing City. It only takes an hour to sail from Shenbing City. Originally, there were only two fishing families living on the island. Now both families have lived in Shenbing City and have lived a peaceful life without relying on the weather. After seeing this, Shangguan Ke thought that the island was good in feng shui and was suitable for building temples.

Early that morning, Mu Yan said she wanted to go and see Shangguan Ke and took two children with her. As soon as she went out, she met Qingye to come to find her.

"Auntie is there anything wrong?" Mu Yan asked Qingye with a smile.

Seeing that Mu Yan was about to go out, Qingye waved his hand and said, "It's nothing important. Xiaojiu, go and do it, wait until you come back."

"Master, let's go out later. Anyway, we're close, so we can come back today." Mu Yan said to Shangguan Ke.

Shangguan Ke was having fun while teasing Xiao Xing'er. He smiled and said, "Okay, let me take Xiao Guaiguai and Langlang to the garden to wait for you!"

Shangguan Ke took both children away as he said, and Mu Yan invited Qingye into the door. Qingye said apologetically: "It's really nothing important, and it's delaying Xiaojiu's business again."

Mu Yan smiled and said, "There is nothing important here. Our Shenbing City is going to build a temple. I will go to see the place today. It's close, so it doesn't matter if I go later."

"Building a temple is a good thing. The Divine Soldier City is not a small place. It is time to worship the gods." Qingye nodded slightly and said, "In the past, when Zheng'er was lost, I always liked to go to the temple to seek Bodhisattvas. Later, God really blessed him and returned the Zheng'er to us. It was also Zheng'er's fate. I met Xiaojiu, you friends who helped her a lot."

Mu Yan asked Qingye to sit down, poured a cup of tea for Qingye, looked at Qingye and said, "Auntie, don't be so polite. You and Uncle are both good people, and the blessings are still behind."

"Xiao Jiu is really good at talking." Qingye said with a smile, obviously he likes Mu Yan very much. "Auntie doesn't waste too much time. I came to see you today, mainly because I want to ask about Dugu Ao."

Mu Yan knew in her heart that Dugu Ao came out of seclusion last night, but many things happened. Seeing Qingye's appearance, Mu Yan was afraid that Rong Qian and Qingye were not asleep at all last night. Qingye came over to ask Mu Yan early this morning. Maybe Rong Qian didn't come because she thought it was easier for women to talk.

Qingye smiled and shook his head: "Xiaojiu, don't laugh at your uncle and aunt. In Fengming City, your elder brother Alin went to pick us up, protecting us and taking care of us all the way, and you both like Alin very much. In addition, we knew that Zheng'er had someone in his heart, and when he saw Zheng'er and Alin together, they misunderstood that they were a pair. If Dugu Ao hadn't suddenly appeared last night, your uncle and I would have been waiting for you to propose marriage to our Zheng'er for Alin!"

Qingye said nothing and did not treat Mu Yan as an outsider. When Mu Yan heard the "Alin" and "the sudden appearance of Dugu Ao" in Qingye, she said silently in her heart, Dugu Xiaoao, you see what you did, your future mother-in-law doesn't want to mention your name, and she added a very heartbreaking adjective when she mentioned it...

Mu Yan nodded slightly: "I blame my elder brother for this matter. Dugu was going to pick up Azheng and his uncle and aunt at that time. My elder brother was going to help. He took all the credit in front of his uncle and aunt, and did not mention Dugu a word. I have to talk about him about this matter." Mu Yan pushed the blame on Mu Lin very against his will...

Qingye waved his hands repeatedly: "Xiaojiu, don't say that. What's wrong with Alin? Alin can't do the best, there's nothing wrong with it."

Seeing Qingye's appearance as if she was worried about anyone who said Mu Lin was wrong, Mu Yan said that her eldest brother must be the kind of son-in-law who was very fond of his mother-in-law. Unfortunately, he has no wife, let alone mother-in-law...

"Aunt, A Zheng didn't mention Dugu before. Maybe she was afraid that you would worry. After all, they were separated before and were far apart, so it was not easy to see each other again." Mu Yan said seriously to Qingye.

Qingye nodded slightly: "This Zheng'er also said last night that Zheng'er really likes the one named Duguao. He said in front of us that he is good at everything. His aunt did not have any objection to Duguao, but Zheng'er is our only daughter. We have lost her for so many years and finally got it back. We must be careful about her marriage."

Mu Yan expressed his understanding. Qingye meant that if it was Mu Lin, they would be happy. If it was Dugu Ao, they would have to wait and see and test it. After all, they didn’t understand it. Qingye came to find Mu Yan today to understand Dugu Ao more objectively from Mu Yan, because Qingye and Rong Qian both felt that their daughter was obviously fascinated by Dugu Ao.

Mu Yan smiled at Qingye and said, "Auntie, Dugu is an orphan. When we talk about our relationship, I didn't know him or her. Later, I met A Zheng because of him. Dugu and A Zheng grew up together. At that time, A Zheng didn't know that you were her parents. Dugu was the same fate and sympathy for each other, so we should rely on each other for life."

"You said you didn't know Dugu Ao without fighting? Who is he?" Qingye grabbed the point of Mu Yan's words.

Mu Yan said: "He turned out to be a killer." Mu Yan did not choose to hide this from Qingye, because if you make up a more popular profession for Duguao, you need to tell more lies to fulfill it. After all, Duguao is not good at everything. Qingye would not believe that he was born in a famous family, because people from a famous family must have parents, and Duguao doesn't even have parents.

Hearing Mu Yan's words, Qingye's expression changed: "This...killer? Is our Zheng'er the same..."

Mu Yan shook her head: "Don't get me wrong, Aunt, A Zheng is not a killer. Dugu was taken in by his family and trained to become a killer. He had no choice. After he saved A Zheng, he protected A Zheng very well."

Aoye frowned: "He had no choice but to be a killer."

Mu Yan nodded: "If there is a good background and someone is protecting him, who would be willing to live a life of licking blood from the knife and not a tomorrow?"

Qingye sighed deeply: "I know, he is also suffering."

"Don't worry, that's all the past. Dugu is my junior brother now, and we are a family." Mu Yan said to Qingye, "Although he has a little bored and taciturn personality due to his past experience, he is much better now. He is a martial arts master, is upright and wholehearted to A Zheng. There are absolutely no other women in these years, and I will not have them in the future. I can guarantee it."

Qingye shook his head and laughed: "Xiaojiu, you said Dugu Ao and you are a family, so I knew he was definitely not bad, because you are all good children, and you can recognize you, so there will be no problem with your character. At the beginning, I knew that he had been a killer, and I was a little dissatisfied at the moment, but thinking about it, it was not easy for him. Just because he saved Zheng'er's life, we can't repay this kind of kindness."

"Aunt, I can see that you are not really dissatisfied with Dugu. The main reason is that he has never appeared before. He said he wanted to marry A Zheng as soon as he came. You and Uncle are too unfamiliar with him and don't know what to do." Mu Yan said with a smile.

Rong Qian and Qingye are both very reasonable elders. As Qingye said, Dugu Ao saved Qin Zheng's life and protected Qin Zheng for many years. Otherwise, Rong Qian and Qingye would not have the chance to reunite with Qin Zheng in this life. In this regard, they would not really reject Dugu Ao.

Even though Mu Yan said that Dugu Ao had been a killer, Qingye subconsciously repelled for a moment, which was a normal reaction to being a mother. After she calmed down, she was actually helping Dugu Ao find reasons in her words, and even felt sorry for Dugu Ao.

This is related to Qingye's own experience. Qin Zheng has been away for so many years, Rong Qian and Qingye will not know where Qin Zheng would be and what kind of people he would be with if he was alive. But Rong Qian and Qingye have prayed countless times that as long as their daughter lives and as long as their daughter can return to them, they are willing to give everything. No matter what kind of person their daughter becomes, they accept it. If their daughter has done anything wrong and hurt her in the years when she left them, they are willing to make up for her, and even are willing to repay them, just asking her to go home alive.

So when Qingye learned that Duguao had no parents, she would feel sympathy for Duguao. Even if she knew that Duguao had done something wrong, Qingye and Rong Qian were more likely to accept and understand. Qingye even thought that it was because Duguao was a killer and martial arts gao     qiang that she could protect her daughter to grow up safely, which is something they should be grateful for.
To be continued...
