son, don't mess around

Chapter 51
The stooped old man was facing Lin Jiangnian with his back, holding a broom in his hand, moving slowly but without distraction, carefully cleaning the dust on the floor in the attic.

In the dim attic, such a strange and mysterious old man suddenly appeared, which was indeed surprising.Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, there is a 'sweeping monk' in this Ruyilou building?
People inside and outside the Ruyi building can't easily come in. The only people in the entire Linwang mansion who can freely enter and leave this place are Linwang, Linwang's son, and maybe the maid beside him... Zhiyuan?
Other than that, no one is qualified to step here!
And right now, there is an old man with a mysterious identity here to sweep the floor?
The elements are complete!
This old man, I'm afraid it's not easy!
Is it the keeper?

Or... some peerless master hiding here?
"senior?"

Lin Jiangnian tentatively opened his mouth.

However, the rickety old man was still cleaning the ground seriously, as if he didn't hear it.

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward slowly, came behind the old man, and called again: "Senior?"

Still no response.

Still no response at such a close distance?
Are you deaf?
Just as Lin Jiangnian was about to walk up to the old man, the old man turned around after cleaning the dust in front of him.Seemingly stunned for a moment, he saw Lin Jiangnian appearing behind him.

This is an old man who is nearly sixty years old. His hair is gray and neat, but he looks defeated. His old face is full of wrinkles, and his sunken eyes seem to be unable to open.The whole person was covered with a lonely atmosphere.

It seems that it is about to come to the end of life!

The old man raised his head, looked Lin Jiangnian up and down, and then said, "Are you looking for something?"

The voice was equally old and hoarse.

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly: "Senior, are you the guardian of this attic?"

The old man shook his head slowly: "What building guard? It's just an old man who is dying..."

After finishing speaking, the old man turned around slowly and continued to sweep the floor with his head down.

"senior?"

When Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth, the old man still didn't respond.This time, Lin Jiangnian raised his voice: "Senior?!"

Only then did the old man seem to have a reaction. He looked back at Lin Jiangnian and shook his head slightly: "I'm old, and my hearing is not very good...do you still have something to do?"

"I have a few things that I want to ask my seniors about."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

But the old man shook his head: "If you want to find something, you can find it in this attic. Except for the seventh floor, there are other places. Others, the old slave can't answer..."

Lin Jiangnian subconsciously glanced at the direction of the seventh floor. In Ruyi Building, books are hidden on the second, third and fourth floors, weapons are hidden on the fifth floor, and rare medicinal herbs are stored on the sixth floor. The seventh floor is locked. can go in.

"Senior, do you know what is hidden in the seventh floor?"

The old man shook his head lightly and sighed: "No one can enter the seventh floor except the prince. No one knows what's inside."

No one can enter except King Lin?
Can't even Prince Lin?

Lin Jiangnian's eyes sparkled, and he landed on the old man in front of him again: "Senior, how long have you been here?"

The old man did not answer this question, but shook his head slightly, turned around and continued to clean the ground.

However, Lin Jiangnian did not intend to give up this opportunity.

Although he entered the wishful building, he still has nothing.The old man in front of him... looks like that kind of peerless master who lives in seclusion!
Being able to appear in the Ruyi Building is definitely not an ordinary person... Of course Lin Jiangnian will not let go of this good opportunity to make friends!

"Why did senior appear here?"

"I have a few questions, and I want to ask the seniors for advice!"

"Senior, are you a peerless master who is hidden in the Ruyi Building and never born?"

"..."

The old man who was cleaning the ground seemed to be a little annoyed by the young man chattering in his ear.

Deaf, after all, still can't stop the annoying young man!
The old man raised his head, glanced at Lin Jiangnian with a slightly cloudy gaze, and sighed: "Look, does this old slave look like some sort of master?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes flickered, and he really didn't look like it, but aren't all real masters good at disguising, are they all this virtue?
"The old slave is just an old man at the end of his life!"

The old man sighed deeply: "Thanks to the lord's love, he took in this old slave to clean and organize things in this Ruyi Building..."

The old man shook his head and sighed. After taking a look at Lin Jiangnian, he continued cleaning on his own.

Lin Jiangnian stood where he was, looked at the rickety old man in sight, and frowned slightly.

Not a master?

With a thought in his heart, he took out a book from the nearby bookshelf and threw it at the old man.

There is no picture of the old man with eyes behind his back, picking up the book with one hand... The book hit the old man's back and fell to the ground.

The old man seemed to come back to his senses, turned around, glanced at the ground, and then at Lin Jiangnian behind him. He seemed to be sighing, bent down and slowly picked up the book from the ground, patted the dust on the book, and put the book on the ground again. Put it back on the bookshelf.

"The books here are rare treasures, you have to cherish them!"

After finishing this, the old man continued to sweep the floor.

Lin Jiangnian stood where he was, frowning even deeper!

Not a master?

Or...he pretended to be deep?

But no matter what, today I am afraid that there is no way to find out whether it is true or not. Lin Jiangnian glanced at the night outside the attic, and it was already dark.

It seems that we can only make plans tomorrow.

Lin Jiangnian turned and went downstairs, leaving Ruyi Building.

On the shore opposite the long bridge, there have been maids waiting for a long time.As soon as Lin Jiangnian returned to the shore, two maids greeted him.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, are you hungry? Dinner is ready..."

Lin Jiangnian rubbed his belly, he was really hungry, so he followed the maid to eat.

On the way, the maid behind me mentioned something.

"Your Highness, Miss Xu came to see you this afternoon!"

"Xu Lan?"

Lin Jiangnian was not surprised: "Where is she?"

"When she learned that His Highness had entered the Ruyi Building, she waited outside for a long time and did not go back until it was dark."

Lin Jiangnian was taken aback, waiting for him all afternoon?

Is she really full and has nothing to do?
However, Lin Jiangnian was full of doubts at this time, and he was not in the mood to care about these things.After the maid went to eat and fill his stomach, he took a shower, changed his clothes, and returned to his room.

Inside the room, it was empty.

There was no figure of the woman in red, nor the little maid who should have appeared on the bed in the room to warm the bed obediently.

However, Lin Jiangnian was not in the mood to settle accounts with the little maid right now.

Sitting at the table, he began to recall in his mind the few martial arts masterpieces he wrote down in the attic this afternoon.

While thinking, Lin Jiangnian took a pen and ink from the bookshelf, and slowly wrote down the martial arts secrets that had been memorized in his mind.

Although I can't remember everything clearly, I still remember a general idea.

After writing densely packed words on the tabletop paper, Lin Jiangnian was slightly relieved, and immediately began to observe.

only……

Even if you read it once, twice, three or four times...

Lin Jiangnian still didn't realize anything!

Completely incomprehensible!
There is no way to start!
After a while, Lin Jiangyounian sighed.

He really overestimated his understanding. In this unfamiliar field of martial arts, without a master to introduce him, it would be very difficult to get into it!

Interlaced like a mountain!
Right now, Lin Jiangnian was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Just when he was a little disappointed, a figure flashed out of the corner of his eye.Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes subconsciously, and a faint fragrance came from his nose.

Immediately, a figure appeared in the room, sitting opposite Lin Jiangnian.

The familiar red dress!
"What are you doing?"

The woman in red looked at Lin Jiangnian softly, with a bit of playfulness, and glanced at the things on the table.

Immediately, she seemed to realize something, slightly surprised.

"You, want to practice martial arts?!"

"..."
