C74 Show me what you can do
That Luo Xingchen had been scolded by Luo Xing Hai and the rest of the elders for half his life for being crafty and petty. Today was the first time someone praised him because he was magnanimous, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Coughing, he said, "Don't stay here and let me drink the Bewitching Soup. I never said I wanted to pass on the position of Patriarch to you."
Luo Mingshi immediately said, "Elder said that he is unwilling to hand over his power to that ingrate. I have never betrayed anyone, and I will never betray anyone in my life, so how can I be an ungrateful person? As for my abilities, why would Elder say that I am a person with no abilities so early on? "
Luo Xingchen snorted, "You are only eleven years old now, but you are already so arrogant, then what will happen when you grow up?"
Luo Mingshi did not bother with the elder's sarcastic remarks, and only stood there motionlessly.
Luo Xingchen saw that he had stopped talking in the end, no matter how much he mocked his, he refused to follow suit. The feeling of a fist resting on cotton was extremely uninteresting, and became a little bored: "Go do what you should do, show me what you can if you have the ability."
Luo Mingshi smiled as she replied, she was just about to head out when she heard the voice of the Elder Luo, "Cheng De definitely wouldn't be bad for the position of Patriarch. I won't be able to wait for too long, not to mention, Luo Chengde is the son of an auxiliary branch member, so he has the qualifications and it suits the rules of Luo Family."
Luo Mingshi quietly listened, and was not in a hurry to expose the Elder Luo, she only pretended to be terrified and let the elder see, and the elder was indeed somewhat satisfied.
She nodded towards the Elder Luo and left.
That Luo Hongyi and Luo Chengde are both adopted sons of elders, what are you fooling them for? Did he think she didn't know?
The scenery outside was great. It was already dusk, and the sun had yet to set. Clouds and sunset both accompanied him on his left and right. It seemed as if they wanted to stay, yet it also seemed as if they wanted to send him off.
To put one's life on the line, wasn't the sun descending today for the sake of tomorrow's rise?
Luo Mingshi's mood was very good, and walking home, she was especially cheerful.
Did Elder Luo's words not mean that he was taking a stand?
And his position, was that if she was able to demonstrate her ability enough and even surpass Luo Chengde, she would not have no fate with the position of Patriarch.
When Luo Mingshi returned home, Uncle Luo was still sitting in the hall waiting for her. Luo Mingshi was moved, at this moment, only Uncle Luo could let her experience the feelings of a close family member.
Luo Mingshi could not help but step forward quickly, and call out with a smile: "Uncle Luo, why haven't you slept yet."
Seeing Luo Mingshi coming back, the Uncle Luo quickly came forward to welcome him, but was comforted and consoled by the inside. She did not struggle and only laughed happily: "Young miss, have you returned? Evening meal available? Are there a lot of things to do today? Are you tired? "
As Luo Mingshi listened, she felt that the feeling of being close became stronger and stronger. She smiled happily, no matter what Uncle Luo said, she would always be patient.
When Luo Mingshi returned to her room, she was still excited.
Everyone said that she was calm and composed. No matter what happened, she would remain calm and at ease. Even if she wanted to fight for the position of the family head, she could remain calm and was quite confident.
However, she could not show it. If she was like the rest of the people, and if there was grief on her face, then this matter would have unquestionably collapsed before they could scheme against her.
If Elder Luo was determined to make things difficult for her, how could an ant possibly win against Mt. Tai?
The Elder Luo had given her a goal, although her words were a bit harsh, but they were good words that gave her hope and motivation. It allowed her to truly and truly know that it was not an iron plate that she couldn't kick, but a city that she could take down.
Then at least she would no longer be lost, no longer be like a person who lost his way in the desert. She would still have enough strength and hope to survive, but she would still be forcibly drained of it by the hazy sandstorm.
Luo Mingshi's heart was already filled with an indescribable feeling, filled with passion and blood. She was so excited that she was about to sleep, then, as if she had thought of something, she called out, "Duan Li."
In just a blink of an eye, Duan Li had appeared in front of her, and indifferently looked at her with distant eyes. Luo Mingshi pretended not to see her, and asked: "Duan Li, can you teach me martial arts?"
Duan Li remained silent for a while, but did not urge him. Instead, he looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
After a while, he heard Duan Li say: "A bit."
Luo Mingshi was a little disappointed, if only she could learn all of Duan Li's martial arts, then it would be fine. However, she joked: "You're really petty, and you even know to hide things. You really are underestimating me."
Duan Li seemed to be so angry that he felt a little uncomfortable. He pursed his lips and then said: "It's too late."
Luo Mingshi ungracefully rolled her eyes, and surmised that Duan Li meant that she was too late for her to learn, so he did not want to pester her anymore. He said: "Then let's begin, I'm not able to sleep right now anyway."
Hearing that, Duan Li turned his head and walked outside. Luo Mingshi had long since gotten used to it, so she followed behind Duan Li slowly.
After approximately an hour, Luo Mingshi was no longer willing to remain silent. At the same time, she stood up and stretched her body: "I do not want to learn like you, I just want to learn some fighting methods and techniques, so that when I am in danger, I will not sit still and wait for death."
Hearing this, Duan Li frowned, "I will protect you."
It wasn't anything extravagant, and just a few words like these made Luo Mingshi feel at ease.
However, it was still not enough, Luo Mingshi said: "Everything will always be unexpected, and if you don't come by my side, how will I protect myself?"
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and continued, "I am not your master. You are ordered to protect me. If one day my master calls you back, how will you protect me?"
Duan Li frowned, and did not say a word.
Luo Mingshi could only continue to talk to herself, "That's why, it is necessary for you to teach me some moves."
Duan Li fought for a long time before he seemed to compromise, took out the software from his waist and started to dance, the speed of the movement, the graceful posture, the distinct lines, and the power of the attack made Luo Mingshi exclaim in surprise.
When Duan Li finished the last move, Luo Mingshi clapped her hands and walked forward, praising: "Looks good, but I didn't see it clearly just now, so Duan Li should just repeat it."
Duan Li:...
Although Luo Mingshi had known from the start that Duan Li was only following orders to protect her, she was not his master, and only his master could order him to do many things, so he did not take it to heart.
Now that she was already used to Duan Li's protection by her side, it made her feel at ease. However, she suddenly remembered that Duan Li wasn't even one of her own people, and her heart was a little annoyed and frustrated.
"Duan Li, how can I become your master?"
"I have a keepsake."
"With the keepsake, it'll be your master?"
"Luo Family people."
"Then I'm lacking a keepsake. What exactly does that keepsake look like?"
"Wood plate, red tassel, camel."
"It sounds very mysterious. Duan Li, can you help me steal it?"
"?"
After the conversation ended, no matter how much Luo Mingshi tried to act shamelessly, Duan Li remained calm. Luo Mingshi could not help but roared in her heart, you are all wrong, this person is the role model of being calm, compared to him, I am as insignificant as a witch.
