Returnee in Jianghu - C47
“Eldest Brother.”
“Eldest senior brother is back.”
“Good morning, eldest senior brother.”
Tang Ming could only nod in response to his junior brothers’ enthusiasm, but his expression clearly softened.
“Senior-apprentice Brother is really popular. Obviously, according to personality, I should be the most popular person here.” Luo Ling appeared out of nowhere and put his hand on Tang Ming’s shoulder.
Tang Ming looked at Luo Ling, who was covered in dirt. The bad feeling in his heart grew stronger.
Ahh! Senior brother, save me!
A child’s cry came from the bush. Tang Ming glanced at Luo Ling and walked into the bush without a word.
A young child was hanging upside down on a thick and long hemp rope, crying loudly.
Tang Ming’s usually cold face had almost ruptured. He looked sinisterly at Luo Ling, who was preparing to tiptoe away: “Try one more time.”
“Senior apprentice-brother, calm down.” Luo Ling froze where he was, almost trembling in fear.
Tang Ming did not pay attention to Luo Ling. Instead, he patted the child’s back and said, “Don’t be afraid, it’s fine now.”
The child sniffed and looked at Tang Ming. “Big…” Elder Senior-apprentice Brother? ”
“You know me?” Tang Ming stroked the child’s head.
“Senior sisters have mentioned it.” The child’s face was flushed red. “The senior brothers say that the eldest is extraordinary and his swordsmanship is outstanding. His character is reliable and his temperament is steady. He is a role model for us.”
“Why is it senior sister? Shouldn’t it senior brother?” Luo Ling curiously approached the two of them.
The Cloud Sky Sect used the Cloud Sky Sect’s main hall as the dividing line, men were north and south, meaning that the south was filled with women, and the north was filled with men, but of course, the instructors were different, after all, men and women had different advantages, and although the martial arts world was open, men and women had different perspectives, but of course, this was only for outsiders.
The insider understood the reason why men and women were separated. Wasn’t it to prevent their family’s pigs from getting into the good cabbages?
There were fewer women training in the martial arts world than men, especially swordsmen. The ratio of men to women was extremely unbalanced, after all, swordsmen trained hard to begin with, so no one wanted their daughter, who was raised in a pampered fashion, to suffer.
So amongst the girls in the Cloud Sky Sect, other than the third floor who chose the path of a swordsman because they loved her or their families, the other girls were all women that their families either despised or abandoned. Even so, these girls still had the entire Cloud Sky Sect’s treasures.
His attitude could be said to be one of holding on to his fear of falling and melting.
Thus, Luo Ling was very curious about the kids and their juniors.
Ever since Luo Ling was seven years old, the people from the south were like wolves in case Luo Ling tried to hook up with a little girl. They had almost forgotten about the girls in the sect.
“Junior brother, don’t make a fuss, this is a little girl.” Tang Ming hit Cairo Ling ready to touch the little girl’s hand.
“Oh, sister-in-law …” “What!?” Luo Ling jumped up from the ground and looked at the child in horror.
So just now, he had bullied a darling, could he go back and slap the person that was digging a trap here to death?
“Lower your voice, don’t scare the little girl.” Tang Ming looked at the shocked Luo Ling unhappily.
“Oh, oh.” Luo Ling held his face close to the little girl and said, “Come, call me senior brother. I’ll buy you some pretty clothes.”
“I also want a bracelet.” The child spoke in a childish voice.
“Buy it, I’ll buy it for you, Senior Brother.” Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Ling opened his mouth and spoke in an extremely discordant tone.
The sky was big, and the earth was big. Junior Sister was the biggest.
“Senior brother is the best.” The little girl’s emotions came and left quickly as she gave Luo Ling a bright smile. Her small canine teeth completely made Luo Ling lose his mind, while Tang Ming blocked Luo Ling as if nothing had happened.
“Why did you come north?” Tang Ming lowered his head, his gaze gentle, afraid of scaring the little girl.
“Oh right, I forgot. Eldest senior brother, my name is Xu Miao. I’m nine years old this year, can I follow Eldest senior brother?” The little girl raised her head and looked at Tang Ming with sparkling eyes.
“Why do you want to follow me?” Tang Ming said in amusement.
Needless to say, her juniors had said something in front of the children.
Although it was extremely difficult for a disciple to go to the south side of the sect, this rule was useless to Tang Ming. Because of the government’s decision, Tang Ming often went to the south side.
Naturally, he also frequently came into contact with his juniors.
They were all a group of lively and cheerful little girls.
“If we follow senior apprentice brother, Miao Miao will be able to run amuck. Xu Miao waved her small fists in the air, as if to say, “I’m very strong.”
“Is that so?” Tang Ming glanced at Luo Ling, who was still in a daze, and said, “I’ll send junior sister to the south first. You stay here and don’t have to worry. Just run around and copy the technique a hundred times.”
“Senior Brother, if you let Miao Miao stay behind, let alone a hundred mental cultivation methods, even if it were a thousand or ten thousand times, I would still be happy.” Luo Ling looked eagerly at Tang Ming.
Tang Ming: “…”
“I’ve never seen you like this when I saw you before.” Tang Ming looked at Luo Ling casually.
“Can it be the same?” Luo Ling stared at Tang Ming and said, “Senior Brother, how can you put Junior Sister together with those trash?”
Tang Ming: “…”
In reality, Tang Ming really did have the ability to keep the little girl, but Tang Ming wouldn’t do something as private as doing it.
“Don’t even think about it. It’s impossible.” Without the slightest hesitation when Tang Ming refused, Luo Ling’s face fell.
“Senior Brother, don’t you think our residence is too deserted?” Luo Ling felt that he should fight for it again.
“I don’t think so.” Tang Ming glanced at the pitiful Luo Ling and paused for a moment. “If you really feel lonely, you can have Martial Uncle take in another disciple. With Martial Uncle’s position, no one will talk about taking in a man or a woman.”
Luo Ling wasn’t a fool. He instantly understood Tang Ming’s meaning: “Thank you, Senior Brother!”
“Yes.” Tang Ming’s expression didn’t change, as if he wasn’t the one who just suggested the idea.
As for whether or not Luo Ling could convince his martial uncle, that was not Tang Ming’s concern.
When they arrived at the south side, Tang Ming did not enter. Instead, he handed Xu Miao over to a gatekeeper.
“Why are you running around?” This uncle-master was a rather serious woman, and she immediately coaxed Xu Miao.
“Senior uncle, the child doesn’t understand.” Tang Ming, who originally intended to leave, couldn’t help but interrupt.
“It’s all your fault.” Although this uncle-master said this, he did not make things difficult for Xu Miao. Instead, he examined her from head to toe, making sure that nothing was wrong before letting out a sigh of relief.
“Sorry for the trouble, Junior Disciple.” The woman looked up.
“Of course.” Tang Ming patted Xu Miao’s head and said, “Be good.”
“Then, Senior Brother, can I still go see you?” Xu Miao looked up and asked.
“That depends on whether that Senior Brother you saw just now can help you.” Tang Ming didn’t tell everyone what had happened in one breath, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Tang Ming looked at Xu Miao, tilted his head in confusion, smiled, and left.
