Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

The stooped old man was facing Lin Jiangnian with his back to Lin Jiangnian. He was holding a broom in his hand. He moved slowly but focused on cleaning the dust on the floor of the attic.

It was really surprising to see such a strange and mysterious old man suddenly appear in the dark attic. Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes. There was actually a "sweeping monk" in this important place of Ruyi Tower?

People inside and outside the Ruyi Building cannot easily come in. The only people in the entire Prince Lin's Mansion who can freely enter and exit this place are Prince Lin, Prince Lin, and maybe the maid next to him... Zhi Yuan?

Other than that, no one is qualified to step foot here!

And now, there is an old man with a mysterious identity sweeping the floor here?

The elements are complete!

This old man is probably not simple!

Is it the building guard?

Or... what kind of peerless master is hidden here?

"senior?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke tentatively.

However, the rickety old man was still cleaning the ground seriously and seemed not to hear it.

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

Still no response.

Still no response at such a close distance?

Is he 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. As if stunned for a moment, he saw Lin Jiangnian appearing behind him.

This is an old man in his sixties, with withered white hair, neat but defeated, an old face full of wrinkles, and sunken eyes that seem like they can't be opened. His whole body gave off an aura of loneliness.

It seems that I am about to reach the end of my 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 guard of this attic?"

The old man shook his head slowly: "What kind of building guard? He's just an old man who's about to die..."

After saying that, the old man slowly turned around and continued to bend down and sweep the floor.

"senior?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke, but the old man still didn't respond. This time, Lin Jiangnian increased his voice: "Senior?!"

The old man seemed to have a reaction. He looked back at Lin Jiangnian and shook his head gently: "I am old, and my hearing is not very good... Do you have anything else?"

"I have a few things that I would like to ask senior 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, it can be found everywhere else. For other things, I can't answer it..."

Lin Jiangnian subconsciously glanced in the direction of the seventh floor. In the Ruyi Building, the second, third and fourth floors were filled with books, weapons on the fifth floor, and rare herbs and pills on the sixth floor. The seventh floor was locked, and he didn't know it. Can go in.

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

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

No one can enter except King Lin?

Can’t Prince Lin do the same?

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

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

However, Lin Jiangnian had no intention of giving up this opportunity.

Although he entered Ruyi Tower, he still found nothing. The old man in front of me... looks like the kind of peerless master who lives in seclusion and hides himself from the public!

Being able to appear in 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 would like to ask senior for advice!"

"Senior, is he a peerless master who has retired to the Ruyi Building and has never been born again?"

"..."

The old man cleaning the floor seemed to be a little irritated by the young man chattering in his ears.

Even though I'm deaf, I still can't stop the annoying young man!

The old man raised his head, glanced at Lin Jiangnian with slightly cloudy eyes, and sighed: "Look, does this old slave look like a master?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes flickered, and it certainly didn't look like it, but aren't all real masters good at pretending? Do they all have this kind of virtue?

"The old slave is just a dying old man!"

The old man sighed deeply: "Fortunately, the prince loves me and takes this old slave in 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 there, looking at the rickety old man in his sight, and frowned slightly.

Not an expert?

With a thought in his heart, he took out a book from the bookshelf next to him and threw it towards the old man.

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

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

"The books here are rare treasures, they must be cherished!"

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

Lin Jiangnian stood there, frowning even deeper!

Not an expert?

Or... is he pretending to be too deep?

But no matter what, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out whether it's true or false today. 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 around and went downstairs, leaving Ruyi Building.

On the shore opposite the long bridge, a maid has been waiting for a long time. As soon as Lin Jiangnian returned to the shore, two maids came forward to greet him.

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

Lin Jiangnian felt his stomach and found that he was indeed hungry, so he followed the maid to have a meal.

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 Ruyi Tower, she waited outside for a long time and did not go back until dark."

Lin Jiangnian was startled. Have you been waiting for him all afternoon?

Is she really full and has nothing to do?

However, Lin Jiangnian was confused at this time and was not in the mood to care about this. The maid went to have a meal to fill her stomach, took a bath and changed clothes, and then returned to the room.

The room was empty.

There was no figure of the woman in red, nor was there the little maid who was supposed to be on the bed in the room to warm the bed.

However, Lin Jiangnian was not in the mood to settle the score with the little maid at this time.

Sitting at the table, he began to recall in his mind the few martial arts secrets he had memorized in the attic this afternoon.

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

Although I can't remember it completely, I can remember a rough idea.

After writing dense words on the paper on the table, Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to observe.

only……

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

Lin Jiangnian still didn't realize anything!

I can't understand it at all!

No way to start!

After a while, Lin Jiang young sighed.

He really overestimated his own understanding. In this unfamiliar martial arts field, it would be difficult to enter the industry without a master to introduce him!

Every other line is like a mountain!

At the moment, Lin Jiangnian was confused and didn't know how to start.

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

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

Familiar red clothes!

"What are you doing?"

The woman in red glanced at Lin Jiangnian with a soft gaze, a little playful, and then glanced at the things on the table.

Immediately, she seemed to realize something and was slightly surprised.

"You want to practice martial arts?!"

"..."
