To this day!
Ye Xiao is no longer the martial arts novice he once was, he naturally understands the weight of the Blind Man’s evaluation.
Moreover, with his personality…
He has never been one to speak empty words, so if he says this, it must be true!
Thinking of this!
Ye Xiao also looked at Master Fei: “Teacher, is it really possible for a Seventh Rank to be unmatched even by a Ninth Rank?”
Master Fei nodded, not hiding anything:
“In principle, the lowest is a First Rank and the highest is a Ninth Rank, but there are also some exceptions within that.”
“For example, your teacher, I, can poison even a Ninth Rank when using poison.”
At last!
Master Fei said with a touch of pride: “So tell me, would you consider your teacher to be a Ninth Rank?”
“I understand!”
Ye Xiao answered maturely: “So you, Teacher, aren’t a Ninth Rank! Let me guess, what Rank are you?”
“Eighth Rank? Seventh Rank, Sixth…”
Hearing this!
Master Fei suddenly coughed twice, his face turning black: “Shut up, it doesn’t matter what Rank your teacher is, the point is that your teacher can poison even a Ninth Rank.”
Hearing this!
Ye Xiao nodded as if he had just realized something.
Then, the words he spoke completely made Master Fei’s old face blush.
“So you’re also a Seventh Rank, Teacher!”
Master Fei was stunned!
He hadn’t expected that this kid would actually guess his true cultivation level.
So he subconsciously asked: “How did you guess?”
“It’s simple!”
Ye Xiao looked innocently at his teacher: “If you were an Eighth Rank, Teacher, you would have refuted me when I mentioned Seventh Rank.”
“I hadn’t even finished saying ‘Six’ before you told me to shut up!”
“So that naturally means you’re definitely higher than Sixth Rank, and lower than Eighth Rank, what else could it be but Seventh Rank?!”
Master Fei sighed, spitting twice.
He suddenly felt…
It wasn’t easy that he had been around this little monster for so long without going mad.
…
…
In fact!
After this little interlude.
Ye Xiao finally understood just how powerful his master’s Seventh Rank was.
Ordinary Ninth Ranks were no match for him!
Besides!
The most crucial point was that he was only eighteen years old now.
What does that mean?!
An eighteen-year-old Seventh Rank, compared to a fifty-year-old Seventh Rank!
It was obvious how talented the former was.
At this moment!
Ye Xiao suddenly had the feeling that he had a monstrous teacher by his side.
Just then!
A slap suddenly hit his head, directly slapping Ye Xiao back to reality.
Master Fei, with a black face, said:
“You little rascal, what kind of dirty tricks are you up to?!”
Ye Xiao had a face full of grievance: “Teacher, I didn’t say a word!”
Master Fei snorted coldly: “Your eyes aren’t right! Don’t play tricks on your teacher, I’ve lived for decades after all.”
“Looking at your eyes, I know you must be up to no good!”
Ye Xiao was taken aback by this!
He was instantly speechless.
Then, to avoid being punished again, he had no choice but to honestly retract his gaze.
He stopped thinking about all those messy things!
At this time!
Chu Yuan had been watching from the side, and he couldn’t hold back his laughter.
It had to be said that Master Fei and Ye Xiao were quite a pair together.
“These two are quite a match!”
After the laughter and teasing!
The topic in the courtyard didn’t linger on Chu Yuan’s martial arts.
Instead, they chatted casually about the Blind Man’s departure!
However.
As always, the Blind Man didn’t reveal anything about it.
Finally!
After everyone had a good drink.
At a certain time, Ye Xiao and the Blind Man left separately.
——————————
That night!
When the night was quiet.
Master Fei didn’t go to sleep immediately after drinking, as he usually did.
Instead, he sat alone in his room…
At this time, he was holding a pen, writing something on a white sheet of paper.
It was!
A report letter written to the Chief of the Supervision Office.
Although Master Fei seemed to verbally dislike this disciple quite a lot on the surface, after spending time with him.
He still saw many good qualities in Ye Xiao.
So that!
The first paragraph of this letter was all about his recognition and praise for Ye Xiao.
At this time!
Perhaps his age really was getting up there, it was a good thing to have such a smart student to teach.
Then, as if he had thought of something!
Master Fei sighed, composing himself slightly.
He quietly stopped writing, a figure with bamboo hairpins, a slender frame, and a gentle temperament appearing in his mind.
After thinking for a while, Master Fei picked up his pen and wrote again.
…
Unbeknownst to him!
While Master Fei was writing fluently, sending a letter to the capital.
The steward in the Fan Mansion!
Was also not idle.
On the same night, the steward had a pen in his mouth, looking at the letter paper on the desk, deep in thought.
Don’t look at the steward’s face full of flesh!
But as the steward of a mansion, he naturally had to know how to read and write.
Especially when assigned to the South China Sea Prefecture!
He needed to keep in contact with the capital, regularly reporting the situation here to the Duke’s Mansion in the capital, it was a must-do.
He was at this moment!
Organizing the various events that had happened in Ye Manor in the past half year.
He was preparing to write a letter to the Second Madam in the capital!
After pondering for a long time!
The steward finally decided to write. Then, he could be seen fiercely sucking on the pen tip, spitting out two mouthfuls of ink.
Then, on a blank envelope, he wrote a few words:
【To be opened by the Second Madam!】
This handwriting.
It had to be said, was comparable to Ye Xiao’s!
Then, the steward began to write on a sheet of white paper.
