Noon in the hot summer is the most difficult time. The servants and maids wish they could finish all the things they should do and go back to the house to rest. The scorching sun is really unbearable.

In such a weather, there are still people practicing swords.

It was a young man, he was wearing the most common costume of a guard, and the sword in his hand was also an iron sword issued by Simen.

He was practicing the sword rather than dancing the sword, because his moves were too unpretentious to be connected with the light and beautiful ear sword dance.

But if you pay more attention to the man, you can quickly find that although the man's sword moves are extremely simple, they can make people feel the great power and danger contained in them, and make people subconsciously want to avoid them.

"Yin Feng," the young man's clear and gentle words sounded behind him, "You seem to be recovering well."

When the man practicing sword heard the movement, he didn't care about the half of the move, so he wanted to forcibly retract the sword.

Si Nongyue smiled wryly to herself, turned around quickly, stepped forward to support the opponent's arm, and slowed down the strength so that the opponent would not be injured. He said, "You don't have to stop, I want to watch you dance the sword. It's good to see... The effect of that medicine."

Yin Feng stared at Si Nongyue steadfastly, and after a while, he obediently raised his hands and waved a sword formula.When facing Si Nongyue, Yinfeng was not as casual as before. He carefully and conscientiously rehearsed Simen's basic sword skills for his master.

Simen's basic swordsmanship has no name, and it is very simple and there is no requirement to teach it. As long as it is a member of Simen, even a servant can do it, but Yinfeng is not trying to perfunctory Si Nongyue.He used to be a dark guard, and in his eyes, the moves are only classified according to their power. His mind is full of fragmentary sword moves and matching combos. Of course, it is useful to deal with the enemy, but it is inevitable to dance the sword for Si Nongyue to see. It's too ugly.After thinking about it, Yinfeng could only dig out a set of basic routines that he had learned when he first entered Simen.

Fortunately, Xi Shi is in the eyes of beholders, and Yinfeng's movements are sophisticated enough, far from being comparable to those little ghosts who have just learned swordsmanship, so this set of simple swordsmanship also has a special flavor in Si Nongyue's eyes.Moreover, he can see that Yinfeng's movements are much smoother and more agile than before. This should be due to the use of the Heavenly Returning Pill, and Yinfeng is gradually recovering completely.

"Not bad." Si Nongyue boasted, and patted her hands lightly twice.

Yinfeng was not happy with this rare compliment, he still had a calm and steady expression, his resolute thin lips were pursed, and Si Nongyue even sensed that he was unhappy.

Si Nongyue knew the reason very well. Compared with the joy of her own recovery, Yinfeng cared more about the fact that she had used a precious elixir for him... In Yinfeng's eyes, this might be considered a waste.

But in his Si Nongyue's eyes, it was nothing more than a pill, it was a dead thing, how could it compare to his own guard in front of him?

So he said, "If I explained it to you that day, you would not want to take the pill."

Yinfeng saw that Si Nongyue seemed to be waiting for him to speak, so he said: "Huitian Pill is a rare medicine in the world, but it can kill human flesh and bones. The master should keep it for emergencies, not use it on subordinates." .”

"The Huitian Pill has fallen into my hands, so I can use it however I want." Si Nongyue chuckled, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light, "Why... can't it be used on you?"

"The subordinate's injury is not serious. It's not life-threatening. It's not worth it for the master to do this." Yinfeng lowered his eyes, as if he was afraid of Si Nongyue's eyes, but he spoke slowly and firmly.

Although Yinfeng said so, Si Nongyue knew that even if it was related to his life, Yinfeng would rather keep the Heavenly Return Pill than take it.

"Why isn't it worth it?" Si Nongyue asked back with a sneer at first, then sighed helplessly after a while, and her tone softened, "There are many things that cannot be measured by their superficial value, for example, you For me, it's not as simple as a bodyguard who can help me." Si Nongyue glanced at it, and saw Yinfeng frowned in confusion, and a trace of sadness appeared in the depths of his eyes, so he immediately stopped talking and changed his mind. What I want to say next, "...you are my best subordinate...the most loyal subordinate, I want to entrust my safety and my back to you, how can you be hurt? body?"

Si Nongyue looked at Yinfeng's expression as if moved and yearning, and immediately asked persistently, "So, what's on your mind right now?"

Yinfeng lowered his head, as if thinking.

Si Nongyue also waited patiently, without urging her.

After a while, Yinfeng knelt down abruptly, and said word by word: "This subordinate will definitely live up to the master's expectations!"

Facing such chanting wind, Si Nongyue was stunned for a while.He had to admit that Yinfeng's sincere and free answer almost moved him, and almost made him feel that there is nothing wrong with the two of them staying together with the friendship between master and servant.

But he, Si Nongyue, has never been a person who is easily satisfied. What he wants is not only loyalty, but also the whole of Yinfeng. Occupation from body to soul is not enough. He was moved.

Yinfeng...

Does it live up to my expectations?

Looking at Yinfeng's face that looked more serious because of the serious oath, Si Nongyue recovered and smiled.

I wish you could understand what my expectations are.
