Chapter 23
"You won't give up yet?"
Zefa raised his lips, "Ling Bai's move just now gathered all his momentum into the sword, instantly breaking Zhiyuan's Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, and not even a little power leaked out. I have seen such sword realms, and I can count them on one hand!"
"But...but..."
"No buts, you also know that the standard for passing the 'actual combat' test is to take three moves, and now Ling Bai has defeated Zhiyuan, exceeding the standard! Could it be that you still want to do it yourself?" Zefa smiled.
"Forget it then..."
Gumil sighed heavily.
He still remembered the attack "Nirvana·Eternal Sorrow".
After weighing it objectively in his mind, Gumil had no confidence that he could take this move.
"Although I don't use a sword, I have seen a few really powerful ones after all, and I know something after fighting! This time, Zhiyuan was anxious and his domineering control was unstable, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so badly..."
Zefa commented.
Gion was a very good student he had taught, and he was even expected to compete for the position of general in the future. Even if he was not as good as Ling Bai, he should not be shocked unconscious.
Gumil had a bitter face when he heard Zefa say that his domineering control was unstable.
From the beginning to the end, he felt that Gion's domineering was very good and had no flaws, but with Zefa's domineering level, he was indeed qualified to say so.
"You two are both great swordsmen. You should have gained something from today's battle. Digest it well! Ling Bai, I'll take him away!"
Zefa said to Gumil.
"Don't ask for my opinion. Is it still useful for me to talk?" Gumil pouted.
"After all, he is your G-2, hahahahaha!"
Zefa was in a good mood, patted Gumil's shoulder, and suddenly, sighed again.
He said to Gumier earnestly:
"Gumier, the newcomers are getting stronger and stronger, the navy is like this, the pirates are the same...
If we don't work harder, we may be swallowed up by the trend of the times and drowned in the ocean of history...
I forced you to win the navy competition championship, and I also want to improve the competitive atmosphere within the navy. You already have a hundred swordsmen under your command. If you teach them well, you will definitely surprise G-1 and G-5!"
Gumier nodded repeatedly.
In the past few years since the opening of the Great Pirate Era, there have indeed been many shocking newcomers. As time goes by, these old generations will only decline from the peak little by little, but the newcomers are still getting stronger!
"The future belongs to them!"
Gumier looked at Ling Bai, finally without any prejudice and personal feelings.
He knew that this kid would definitely make a great career in the sea in the future!
And G-2 is too small for Ling Bai!
Waving his hands silently, Gumier left quietly and began to plan how to deal with the navy competition.
Looking at Gumil starting to reorganize the branch, Zefa nodded with satisfaction.
......
Coming to Ling Bai, Zefa sat down and picked up a pot of wine.
"Boy, can I drink?"
"Of course, don't you still owe me a warship of wine? And these are your wines, I'm not unreasonable..."
Ling Bai said leisurely.
His eyes were always on G-2.
Looking at Gumil, Peng En, and the old soldiers who were once driven away by him, he swept over everyone one by one.
"Am I leaving?" Ling Bai whispered.
Zefa took a sip of the wine lightly, looked at him with some admiration, and said: "Reluctant?"
He didn't expect that Ling Bai was still a sentimental person.
"No... I'm just recalling whether there are still guys who owe me wine...".
Chapter 30 Departure (Please give me flowers!)
"You boy..."
Zefah smiled unhappily and took two more sips.
Wine is a strange thing.
People who don't drink don't know why some people are so fascinated by it, while people who drink laugh at people who don't drink for not knowing the taste.
As he drank, Zefa remembered the sentence that Ling Bai chanted when he performed the secret of sword skills just now.
"Bells, drums, and jade are not expensive, but I hope to be drunk forever and never wake up. The saints and sages in ancient times were all lonely, and only drinkers left their names."
After savoring it carefully, Zefa felt a sense of the fickleness of the world, and only by expressing his feelings in wine can he express his ambitions.
"What have you been through?"
Just like the ten miles of peach blossoms in Gion, the secret sword skills of all great swordsmen are mostly related to life and perception...
Only by glimpsing the truth of kendo from experience can one truly step into the supreme kendo!
Zefa naturally knew the story of Gion in the past, but he didn't want to talk about it. Instead, why could Ling Bai, a kid at such a young age, say such a profound poem?
The world is fickle, people's hearts are not the same as before, they would rather be drunk than wake up...
"Ling Bai, are you also disappointed with this era...?"
Zefar murmured, but suddenly woke up.
He quickly put down the wine, carefully glanced around, and found that no one was paying attention to this side, then he calmed down a little.
But after that, he didn't drink another sip of wine.
Zefar never thought that he would start to get drunk and say something he shouldn't say just by accidentally drinking a few more sips.
I'm really old...
The scene was quiet for a moment.
Ling Bai slowly turned his head and said, "It's not the wine that makes people drunk, but people who drink a thousand cups without getting drunk may get drunk after just one cup...
I just don't know whether it's the strong wine or the human heart that gets drunk easily...
Brother, you don't usually have anyone to talk to, right? Hahahaha..."
Ling Bai drank by himself while laughing, and continued to look at the G-2 Navy in the distance.
"Maybe..."
Zefar heard the hidden meaning in Ling Bai's words, and didn't want to dwell on it too much, so he asked, "What about you now, are you drunk?"
"If you think I'm drunk, then I'm drunk, if you think I'm not drunk, then I'm not drunk, I'm free and easy in this world, eternal wine to keep away sorrow, what you drink is wine, what you taste is taste, what you appreciate... is life..."
Ling Bai said, clinking his wine pot with Zefa, "Don't stop, brother, let's go! This is a tribute from the royal family, it's hard to drink!"
Zefar picked up the wine, but still didn't drink it, and tried to ask: "Do you know this is royal wine? But except for the royal family and the senior navy, ordinary people should not have the opportunity to touch it, right? Lingbai, who are you?"
Lingbai turned his head again, wondering: "That's not right... In addition to what you said, aren't there Tianlong people..."
"Are you a Tianlong person?" Zefa's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He thought of Ling Bai's various identities, but he never thought that Ling Bai was a Tianlong person!
"How can you insult me? Am I that kind of trash? I, Ling Bai, will never drink alcohol in my life, and I will never be a Celestial Dragon..."
Ling Bai was about to make a boast, but was immediately covered by Zefa's mouth.
"Keep your voice down!!!!"
Insulting Celestial Dragons is a capital crime!
Zefa regretted why he wanted to take the opportunity to ask questions. People like Ling Bai who are drunk dare to say anything!
He then looked around more carefully, and after confirming that no one heard him, he cautiously let Ling Bai go.
"Tsk, coward!"
Ling Bai muttered, and then continued:
"I... don't have any status, so I don't have any ambitions...
My biggest ideal is to drink all the fine wines in the world, so that I won't live in vain in this world!
As for this royal wine... hehe, I'm not bragging, there is no wine in the world that I don't know..."
After saying that, Ling Bai drank the wine pot in his hand, lay down directly, but did not touch other wines.
Ever since he drank the divine wine, he always felt that the top wine was not good enough. Ling Bai felt tired and wanted to sleep.
No wonder, Ling Bai had never had so many good wines in a short period of time, especially the divine wines one after another!
He must have needed time to slow down after drinking so much wine all at once.
"Who owes me wine... I can't remember..."
Ling Bai murmured twice and fell asleep.
"I really envy you... You can sleep as soon as you say..." Zefa sighed.
Without someone to talk to, Zefa put down the wine pot and waved.
Several navy officers came over and carried Ling Bai and Gion onto the warship according to the instructions.
Zefa did not stay any longer.
The warship set off directly and left the G-2 branch.
......
The sun set in the west, and the stars moved.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.
Ling Bai woke up from his sleep, and a feeling of discomfort and nausea made him unable to sleep.
"System, hangover!"
He shouted in his heart, and the cool feeling swept through his body, and he finally felt better.
Sitting up from the bed, Ling Bai's first reaction was to check his body.
"No handcuffs! No leg cuffs! The bed is very soft, no one is watching, no Den Den Mushi... Well, very good..."
Ling Bai first judged that he was not imprisoned somewhere.
He stood up and began to observe the environment.
"The ground is shaking a little, it should be on the ship, I remember... Zefa tested me..."
Ling Bai rubbed his temples.
He couldn't remember the specific details, but in the blur, it seemed that he and Gion had a sword fight, and then, he really couldn't remember...
Touching his waist, the black knife Minghong was still there.
"But, dare to let me free, it should end with a good ending!"
Ling Bai nodded seriously, and then he really relaxed.
Walked into the cabin and began to wash.
After changing into clean and tidy clothes, Ling Bai walked out of the cabin, came to the deck, and took a deep breath of the sea breeze.
"Gurgle..."
My stomach started to growl.
It was protesting loudly!
"How long have you not eaten?"
Ling Bai started to recall again.
But the last time he ate was when he was at the G-8 branch...
"Fill your stomach first!"
