Chapter 9: Die Too Quickly "What's stable?" Looking back, it was Seventh Master coming over. He walked over with a smile on his face, stretched out his body in a relaxed manner, and asked, "What did Lao Shi say just now?" "I was just about to tell you!" Master Shi said with a smile, "You are extraordinary this time, you have brought a good seedling!" "Really?" Master Qi's narrow eyes curved slightly, and he looked very happy. "I thought it was good at first, but I was worried, so I thought about letting you train for another two years." Seeing the two of them chatting as if no one was around, Ruan Xing stood up and gave up the stone bench next to the stone table to Qi Ye, who lifted his clothes and sat down. The Seventh Master did not avoid letting Ruan Xing hear these things, but that does not mean that what he said was unimportant. Even if Ruan Xing heard it, she was just a six-year-old girl. Even if she was smart, she was nothing. Without background and ability, she could not escape his control. What's more, if it really succeeds in the future, Ruan Xing will have to thank him for his support. Ruan Xing stood aside with her hands hanging down and listened with her ears perked up. It seemed that Hu San really knew something and was giving her some genuine advice. From their conversation, Ruan Xing analyzed it word by word in her mind. It seemed that the Seventh Master had taken in children like her more than once. He did not take in children just to train his own subordinates, but more importantly, to deliver children to a person with a higher status than him and to satisfy the other party. The conditions that satisfied the other party included intelligence and luck.
Maybe she also needs to learn the art of gambling, but Ruan Xing guessed that this was not too important, because in the previous simulations, she only learned the basics of gambling, and Qi Ye still took her away from Jiangning City, presumably to meet that important person, but every time she died on the way for various reasons. Was there someone behind the scenes who didn't want Qi Ye to be appreciated by that important person, or was there someone who directly assassinated Qi Ye and implicated her? The purpose of this remains to be investigated. Next time, you can choose an option and take a good look at it in your memory. I just don’t know what that noble person will do with the children he has taken in. Ruan Xing was looking down in thought when Master Qi had finished talking with Master Shi and was about to leave. Before leaving, Master Qi patted Ruan Xing's shoulder and said earnestly, "Xing girl, follow Master Shi and listen to him during this period, okay?" "Yes, Seventh Master!" Ruan Xing nodded heavily, and in a crisp voice, he imitated Seventh Master's men and agreed loudly. Seeing this little girl pretending to be serious really made Master Qi laugh. He nodded to her in a friendly manner and left. Acting like a child at the right time can not only remind people around her to be on guard against her, but also win the favor of Master Qi. Why not? Sometimes a little emotional factor can lead to different results. Ruan Xing would rather spend more time on this just to add a layer of protective shell that may be used. Master Shi also had a very good impression of her. He said to her kindly, "You can live in the room next to mine, eat and live with me, and you don't have to do any work here. I will teach you and just study hard." Having said that, Ruan Xing saw the old man clearing his throat while speaking and tactfully poured a cup of tea from the table and handed it to him. In feudal society, it was normal for apprentices to serve their masters, even though Master Shi and she did not have a formal master-apprentice relationship. Master Shi took a sip of tea and pointed at the porcelain bowl on the table. "Go and practice according to my method. Your hands need to be quick and steady. If you have any questions, ask me." "Yes." With the foundation laid in the simulator, Ruan Xing was able to play the Three Immortals Return to the Cave proficiently after just two or three times. He could change the position of the eggs and put them into the same bowl with extremely fast hand speed while moving the porcelain bowl irregularly. In fact, there are more complicated ways to move the eggs into one's sleeves, clothes, or hide extra eggs on the body, and make all the eggs in the bowl plural. But the old man didn't teach him, and Ruan Xing didn't practice it, otherwise it would be difficult to explain. Soon, the afternoon passed. The old man did not teach Ruan Xing new things just because she was progressing fast. After eating the first meal at the Red Head Gang in the evening, Master Shi let Ruan Xing go back to her room to rest. Qi Ye's hall is Qi Ye's face. Not only are the gang members gathered here Qi Ye's trusted men, but the quality of the big pot dishes made in the canteen is also not just mediocre. Although not as good as those made by restaurant chefs, they are much better than those made by Ruan Tao. For the first time, Ruan Xing had the idea that ancient food was also good. However, Ruan Xing didn't think much about this. After closing the door, she summoned the simulator in her mind. The room that Master Shi prepared for her was small but it was a single room. A small bed, a table and a wooden box occupied all the space. That was good too. At least no one would disturb her while she was simulating. [Simulating] At the age of six, you were recognized by Master Qi and joined the Red Head Gang. You followed Master Shi to learn gambling skills. You made rapid progress and mastered the basic gambling skills in less than two months. A month later, Qi Ye took you away from Jiangning City. On the way, you were attacked and you died.
