Chapter 113 It seems that foxes really are canines...
Back to the sky.
After several rounds of drinks, everyone was a little tipsy.
Bai Heng slumped on the table, his eyes blurry with drunkenness as he looked at Jing Liu: "Jing Liu, you...you really want Lu Li to teach you swordsmanship?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to Jing Liu and Lu Li.
Jingliu didn't speak, but simply picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
Lu Li, slightly sober, yawned: "What, is it not allowed?"
"It's not that it's impossible..." Jing Yuan said cautiously, "It's just that, Lu Li, your path... seems completely different from Master's swordsmanship."
Jingyuan is a disciple of Jingliu and knows her swordsmanship best.
The Mirror Style swordsmanship pursues ultimate speed and ultimate sharpness.
It is a "merciless sword" that cuts through everything.
Lu Li, on the other hand, exuded a kind of "affectionate" laziness.
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the title of "master of swordsmanship".
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together," Danfeng said slowly.
Danfeng looked at Lu Li: "Lu Li, if you were to teach her, I'm afraid... you would destroy her sword heart."
"Destroyed?" Lu Li laughed. "What do you think a sword is?"
He looked at everyone, and for the first time, his eyes no longer held any laziness.
Instead, he had a deep, penetrating gaze.
"A sword is a weapon, a killing technique, and also... a tool for protection."
"You only see its sharpness, but forget its essence."
"The sword of the Mirror Style is sharp and fast, that's true, but it's also too pure, so pure that it only has one thought: 'to cut'."
"Such a sword might be invincible in times of peace and prosperity, but..."
Lu Li seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes darkened for a moment.
Lu Li shook his head. "If we encounter a true 'demon,' we'll be the first to break."
After these words were spoken, the entire table fell silent.
Ying Xing frowned and subconsciously touched his broken sword.
Jing Yuan's hand, holding the wine cup, hovered in mid-air, a hint of understanding appearing between his brows.
Danfeng lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was digesting something.
Bai Heng looked at Lu Li, then at Jing Liu, tilted his head, and twitched his fox ears twice.
And mirror flow.
Her gaze remained aloof, but her hand gripping the teacup tightened unconsciously.
"Then what do you think should be done?" Jingliu asked.
"It's very simple."
Lu Li leaned back in his chair, reverting to his lazy demeanor.
"Starting tomorrow, you don't need to practice swordsmanship anymore."
"What?" Jingliu was stunned for a moment.
Not only her, but Jing Yuan and the others also showed puzzled expressions.
Not practicing swordsmanship?
How can I become stronger then?
"If I don't practice swordsmanship, what should I do?"
Lu Li smiled mysteriously: "Come with me and you'll find out."
"Don't worry, I'll show you something good."
Jingliu: "...?"
She stared at the smiling face in front of her, remaining silent for a long time.
This man is strange.
When we first met, he was as cold as a block of ancient ice.
He not only pinched his own "Flying Light Without Gap" with two fingers, but also said that he was not worthy to be his whetstone.
But once he got here, he became as lazy as a stranded fish.
He spends all his time fishing and drinking, seemingly uninterested in anything else.
But it is precisely this seemingly contradictory man who always manages to utter profound truths without even realizing it.
It's better to guide than to block.
Is emotion both your weakness and your greatest strength...?
After looking at Lu Li for a moment and thinking, Jing Liu finally nodded.
"it is good."
Upon hearing this, Bai Heng, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up his ears.
She approached Lu Li expectantly, like a little fox that had only smelled meat.
"Lu Li, what good stuff are you going to show Jing Liu? Can I come along?"
Lu Li glanced at the fox-eared girl in front of him. "What are you doing, kid, getting involved in this?"
"If you've had too much to drink, go back to sleep."
Bai Heng: "??"
Bai Heng pouted in dissatisfaction, his cheeks instantly puffing out: "Where am I small!"
"Besides, if we're really talking about age, Lu Li, you might actually be younger than me."
"The most important thing is, I'm not drunk!"
"Those who are drunk all say they are not drunk."
"As for its size...?"
Lu Li stood up and looked down at Bai Heng.
He then raised an eyebrow slightly.
Bai Heng sensed that Lu Li's gaze was fixed on something low, and subconsciously looked down at him.
"Click!"
Bai Heng clutched his chest with lightning speed, angrily exclaiming, "I... I'm still developing, I'll definitely grow bigger in the future!!"
"What grows up?"
Lu Li spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "I was just talking about height. What are you talking about?"
Bai Heng: "...?"
After a full two seconds of stunned silence.
Seeing Lu Li's face contorted with suppressed laughter, Bai Heng finally realized what was happening.
That bastard is just messing with her!
The alcohol hit my head with a "boom".
Bai Heng bared his teeth and charged forward, yelling, "Lu—Li—!!!"
"Hey! No, just kidding, why are you taking this so seriously—damn it, don't bite me! Are you a dog... uh, foxes are actually canines, aren't they?"
"No, no, you need to let go—don't bite my sleeve—that's my new dress—"
The human and the fox were wrestling and fighting, making so much noise that even the guests at the next table peeked over to watch.
The others watched this scene and shook their heads and laughed helplessly.
The audience outside the canopy smiled knowingly at this heartwarming scene, while also being filled with curiosity.
[They have such a good relationship... But I'm still curious what Lu Li wants to take Jing Liu to see... a secret manual? A sacred relic? An ancient ruin?]
[Given his personality, he'll probably take her to the market, haha.]
To be honest, I understand Lu Li less and less. Just how many faces does he have?
[He's the aloof master, the salted fish drunkard, and the philosophy tutor... His character profile is just too diverse!]
I feel that Lu Li in the Kafka arc was like a guardian burdened with a heavy mission, while Lu Li in the Mirror Stream arc is more like a reclusive master who has seen through the world and enjoys life to the fullest.
Although their personalities differ, their core seems to be the same: they are all the type who would give everything to protect those they care about.
Stop talking, stop talking! I haven't even recovered from the ending of the last scene yet, if you keep talking I'll start crying again.
[It's alright, our Lord Lu Li is still alive! Looking forward to the day he meets Kaffa in the real world...]
On the Starry Sky Train.
Seeing the last few comments, Lu Li thought, "..."
no thanks.
He had no expectations at all.
