Li Yang returned to the courtyard with a smile on his face.

"Are you going to meet Dugu Yifang?" Youruo immediately came up and asked before he could enter the room.

"How do you know?"

"Nonsense, if you hadn't seen Dugu Yifang, you could have left this courtyard? Tell me quickly, what have you talked to Dugu Yifang this time?" Youruo urged.

"Want to know? The old rules are the ones who serve tea and pour water first." Li Yang took the opportunity to call Youruo again.

Once you grow old and again.

Youruo rolled her eyelids and brought a glass of water, "Can you say this time?"

"Listen..." Li Yang said all the conversations with Dugu Yifang.

"When you go out this time, you will only blackmail Dugu Yifang ten thousand taels of silver." Youruo was obviously disappointed.

"Current silver" Li Yang emphasized.

"Is there any difference? Isn't it still nothing?" For Youruo, Li Yang's meeting with Dugu Yifang today was nothing.

"You can't say that"

Li Yang saw it more thoroughly than her, "At least we can get a message from today's conversation."

“What information?”

"Dugu Yifang has begun to believe me. In his eyes, I am a villain who sells his feelings for money, and you have been completely deceived by me."

"snort"

Youruo hummed without comment, "Why is Dugu Yifang willing to give you ten thousand taels?"

"I originally wanted ten thousand taels...gold," Li Yang shrugged.

"..." Youruo had to admit that she still underestimated this guy.

She also understood it at one point. If she followed Li Yang's plan, Dugu Yifang's trust would indeed be equivalent to taking the first step to success, which is of great significance.

"Then what should I do next?" Youruo always looked forward to Li Yang coming up with some clever ideas.

"Eat" Li Yang said, and then went to the dining table in the house.

The food was ready, but Youruo had no appetite at all.

"You know how to eat all day long," Youruo muttered to Li Yang's back, but saw Li Yang turn back and take away the tea that he hadn't drunk just now in front of her.

"It's not that there's no water in the house, do you have to serve this cup?" Youruo found another point of complaining.

"This is the water you poured for me." Li Yang brought the teacup into the room.

What's the point of the water I poured?

Youruo was stunned in the yard, and a trace of turmoil appeared in his heart.

After lunch.

After taking a nap.

Li Yang walked out of the house with great energy and came outside the courtyard. He saw the one who lent him the sword in the morning, standing straight at the gate of the courtyard.

“Thank you so hard”

The guard was startled and turned around. After seeing that it was Li Yang, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Where's it?"

"You want to borrow a sword?" the guard asked.

Li Yang asked, "How is it? You haven't been punished by your city lord?"

The guard nodded, "You really told me that I didn't even mention it, not only did I have no punishment, but I didn't even mention it, as if I didn't know it."

"It's impossible not to know. Don't talk about this mansion, even in the huge Wushuang City, no movement can be hidden from your city lord. Since he doesn't mention it, it means he doesn't take this little thing seriously at all."

"You have face. If you want to change to the lady inside, the city lord will be angry."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, I'm just a little bitch."

...After borrowing a sword in the morning, especially after not being punished by the city lord, the guards were obviously much more relaxed towards Li Yang.

The two of them became more and more familiar with each other. In the end, Li Yang hugged the guard's shoulder like a good brother and sighed: "Lord Dugu is too majestic. At noon, I wanted to give you a few good words in front of him, but the look of Lord Dugu made me so scared that I dare not speak. It was so scary."

The guard nodded with deep understanding of this.

"Don't worry, brother remembers your good deeds. I must ask you to have a meal another day."

"You are too polite"

"Don't keep you alive, just call me brother"

"That's not possible. The city lord has instructed that you and that lady are 'distinguished guests', we have to"

"It's settled, haha"

Li Yang seemed to be chatting happily, and was smiling when he suddenly felt a pain behind his back and couldn't help but scream.

He was fine, the guard was startled and immediately protected Li Yang behind him. He pulled out the sword with a whisper and shouted: "Who?"

"If you have any, you can try to cut me off with a sword?" Youruo was standing in the yard with a small stone in his hand.

It turns out it's this witch!

The guard cursed in his heart and quickly lowered his head to Youruo, "Don't dare"

"Don't dare?" Youruo obviously didn't plan to let him go, and walked step by step.

The guards all sweated coldly on their foreheads.

At this time, Li Yang stood up and said, "Okay, nothing big, what can you do?"

He walked in and blocked Youruo who was about to come out.

"Huh, it's so dangerous." The guard wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked at Li Yang with gratitude, gently closed the yard door, turned around, and continued to stand guard.

In the yard.

"You are kind to others. It's Dugu Yifang who cares about you, not him."

"I have to be polite to him? I'm not as good as the one before. It's enough to be polite to make him half-dead." Youruo looked at Li Yang angrily.

Sometimes she really couldn't understand which end this guy was standing on.

Li Yang nodded helplessly, "You are amazing, I will obey you, but how can you not hit me with a stone next time?"

"It depends on my mood"

Youruo proudly threw the stone in his hand aside and clapped his hands, "What are we doing in the afternoon?"

Li Yang spread his hands and said, "I originally wanted to practice swords, but now I've been disturbed by you and I haven't borrowed the sword."

Hearing this, Youruo was a little embarrassed, but naturally he couldn't admit it and forced himself to say, "Don't you have a terrible tongue, go and borrow it."

"Next time, since you have practiced the sword moves in the morning, you have already memorized the sword skills in your heart, so now we will practice footwork."

Li Yang took down the tea set on the table in the courtyard and placed it regularly on the ground, as an obstacle to practicing footwork, and began to teach Youruo to practice footwork in a straightforward way.

"This set of steps is called "Unrespectful..."

The process of teaching is also the process of Li Yang's practice and review.

The Huo family's sword technique is mediocre, and the way of walking is the right way, and the footwork is nothing outstanding. The one thing that is particular about is just one word:

stable!

If you step steadily, the sword will be straight.

To be honest, Li Yang doesn't like this swordsmanship very much. It's too regular and typical, easy to learn but difficult to master.

It is difficult for beginners to exert the power of sword techniques, and they can only end up being inferior. Only in the hands of people with high realm and deep skills can they exert the power of superior sword techniques.

I think it is clear that Li Yang belongs to the former.

About half an hour later, Youruo seemed to have the same feeling, but she only focused on footwork.

"This set of steps is too slow. How much loss will you suffer in the competition?" Youruo sat on the stool, rubbing his slightly sore feet, and complaining.

Now that her internal strength is blocked, her footwork practice is entirely supported by physical strength, so she naturally can't bear it.

"Then what's the way? This is how family-born steps are. I don't have the ability to improve steps or create a new one."

Li Yang is still practicing.

He knew very well that this was a martial arts world. No matter how smart his head was, he could sometimes not withstand a powerful fist.

"It's so stupid, you can use other steps instead." Youruo put one foot down after rubbing it, and then began to rub the other foot.

Because of distraction, Li Yang stepped on a wrong footwork and accidentally stepped on a cup. The cup was stomped and the person fell to the ground.

He was not embarrassed, and he sat on the ground with his legs crossed and started chatting with Youruo.

"This set of footwork is matched with swordsmanship, so you can't use other footwork at will, right?"

"How can you be so stupid? The essence of swordsmanship lies in sword moves and sword techniques. Steps are just auxiliary methods. Is it because I have changed the set of footwork, swordsmanship is not swordsmanship? You can use other better and faster steps. This is called flexible use." Youruo said a lot in one breath, but didn't feel a little dry. On the contrary, he felt refreshed.

Finally, I found something that would make Li Yang bow his head.
