Chapter 56
"What?!" Xue Fu's eyes widened in surprise.

"He didn't tell you?" Xue Chang pretended to be regretful and said: "Now there are only so few people left in the family, and the business of the Escort Bureau can't be carried out at all. He was not very happy to come..."

Before Xue Chang finished speaking, Xue Fu was already so angry that he walked out of the door angrily, grabbed Xue Wu's ear, and carried him into the living room, cursing: "You don't Promising things, the young master treats you so well, and wants to accept you as an apprentice. This is a great gift from heaven, but you still don’t accept it, are you a fool?!—”

Seeing this situation, Xue Chang quickly explained: "Uncle Fu, Xiao Wu didn't disagree. He might just want to think about it. After all, it happened so suddenly."

"What else are you thinking about? He must agree!" Xue Fu responded decisively, and then seeing Xue Wu's hunched head and hunchbacked, silent and useless appearance, he was so angry that he slapped him on the back again, and shouted angrily. : "Are you stupid, hurry up and say something!"

Xue Wu hurriedly stammered and said, "Uh...oh...young master, I am willing to worship you as my teacher..."

Xue Chang answered happily: "Okay, Xiao Wu, you will be my apprentice from now on! I haven't established a sect yet. In order to prevent the inspector from causing trouble, I can't accept too many apprentices on the surface, so outsiders will You still call me young master when you are in the middle of the night, and call me master in private, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir."

"Hey, why are you still called Young Master!"

"Master... Master... Master."

"By the way, that's what it should be called! You are my apprentice now, sit down and have a meal together, and after the meal, you can formally pay homage to the teacher."

As a servant, Xue Wu had been told repeatedly to know his duty from the first day he entered the mansion, but now he was asked to sit and eat with his master, which made him a little at a loss, and turned to look at Xue Fu.

Xue Fu stomped anxiously: "Why are you still standing there! See how kind your master is to you, why don't you thank your master quickly!"

"Thank you, young master..." Xue Wu said grumpily.

"Sit down quickly." Xue Chang said jokingly: "Look, your name is Xue Wu, you should be born to learn martial arts."

Xue Wu didn't smile, he sat down stiffly, with half of his buttocks hanging in the air.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, followed by shouts: "Master!" The three of Xu Xi walked in.

"You guys came just in time." Xue Chang pointed to Xue Wu and said, "I just took Xue Wu as my apprentice, and he will be your fourth junior brother from now on."

The eyes of the three immediately focused on Xue Wu.

"Great, I finally became a senior sister!" Hu Qiudi cheered.

Although Xu Xi and the others had known Xue Wu since they came to Xue's mansion last night, it was only out of politeness. At this moment, the three of them surrounded Xue Wu enthusiastically and asked non-stop, as if they regarded him as one of their own.

Xue Wu was very uncomfortable with this, and responded passively.

Xue Fu said worriedly: "Master, Xiao Wu is a bit stupid, it may be more difficult for you to teach him martial arts in the future..."

Xue Chang didn't take it seriously: "I'm not afraid of being stupid when learning martial arts, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to endure hardships. I'm not worried about this at all, and I don't think Xiao Wu is stupid. He just doesn't get used to it, and he will get better after a long time."

Xue Fu, who has no children, regards Xue Wu, who he brought from his hometown, as his nephew. He is worried that Xue Chang will dislike him. It's a pity that the old master can't see the demeanor of the owner...

Just when he was in a turmoil, he heard Xue Chang ask: "Fu Bo, have you seen Tuotuo?"

"Tuo Tuo?"

"It's the little wolf I brought back. I haven't seen it since I got up early in the morning."

"Young master, don't worry. I saw that you were very tired last night. I was afraid that the wolf's barking at night would affect your sleep, so I fed it some rice wine and tied it to the backyard. It is probably still asleep."

It turned out that this little guy was drunk... Xue Chang was a little bit dumbfounded: "Fu Bo, it was my negligence. I forgot to tell you. Tuotuo has been following me since he was very young. He is more cute than a dog. You don't have to worry about it messing up." Come on. Now that we have so few people and our house is so big, it will be a little safer for Tuotuo to watch the house at night."

"I understand, young master, I'll go and bring it here." After Xue Fu finished speaking, he turned around and went out, just passing by Mrs. Zhang who entered the door.

"...Brother." The timid voice came from the girl who followed Zhang Shi. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a slender figure and delicate and pretty appearance, similar to Zhang Shi.She is Xue Chang's half-sister Xue Yuting. Her boudoir is not far from the living room, but she is panting slightly during the journey.

With a smile on his face, Xue Chang stood up and said, "Auntie and little sister are here, sit down and have dinner together."

Mrs. Zhang responded, but did not sit down immediately, but looked at Xue Wu who was sitting on the other side of the dining table.

Xue Changli understood what he meant, and said, "Auntie, I forgot to tell you that I took Xiao Wu as my apprentice just now, and he will be a family with us from now on."

Mrs Zhang was surprised, she didn't expect that clumsy-looking Xue Wu would be taken by Xue Chang.

"Auntie." Xue Chang looked at his younger sister who was also surprised, and said, "Is there something I want to discuss with you?"

"...Chang'er." Mrs. Zhang called out cautiously. Seeing that Xue Chang was not as annoyed as before, but listened with a smile on her face, she couldn't help but feel relieved, and said, "You are the head of the family now. Anything You can decide for yourself, and I will fully support it.”

"I want to teach my little sister how to practice martial arts—"

When Xue Chang said this, he had already thought about how to persuade him if Mrs. Zhang opposed him, but Mrs. Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then beamed with joy: "This is really great! When your father was alive, I asked you He made this request, but he always said, 'What kind of martial arts do girls learn, they should study hard, and it will be good if they can find a good man to marry in the future'. Thank you, Changer, for helping my aunt realize this wish!"

It turned out to be like this... Xue Chang understood.

But he didn't know that Mrs. Zhang didn't actually have such a wish, he just had a deep worry in his heart: Now that the family is in catastrophe and livelihood is difficult, Xue's mansion even dismissed many servants, maybe it won't be long before the whole mansion will return Others, how will her mother and daughter, two powerless women, live by then! ...Although Xue Chang miraculously came back alive and changed a lot, giving the family a backbone, the decline of the whole family has not changed. In addition, Xue Chang did not have a good impression of her mother and daughter in the past. Tired, she abandoned her mother and daughter...

It is precisely because of such worries that when she heard that Xue Chang was going to teach her daughter martial arts, Mrs. Zhang was delighted to see hope. A half-sibling relationship without much family ties is much more reliable, so she hurriedly made up this lie.

"Little sister, do you agree?" Xue Chang then asked for Xue Yuting's opinion.

"A elder brother is like a father, and you are the head of the family. What can your sister object to?" Zhang interrupted, reminding her daughter at the same time.

"It's best to practice martial arts if you are willing to learn it well." Xue Chang replied with a smile, and continued to look at his little sister.

Xue Yuting lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and did not speak.

"Practicing martial arts can make you strong, and you will rarely get sick in the future..." In the memory of the original owner, Xue Yuting, who was weak and sick, had a cold and fever all the year round.

Xue Yuting still bowed her head and did not speak.

"If you practice martial arts well, you will be able to walk freely in the rivers and lakes with your sword in the future, and wander around great rivers and mountains..." In the memory of the original owner, this younger sister has been restrained by her father and influenced by her own personality since she was sensible, and she seldom goes out.

Xue Yuting looked up at Xue Chang, then immediately lowered her head and remained silent.

"As long as you practice martial arts well, when you grow up, you can decide the marriage yourself, and the elder brother will not interfere—" Before Xue Chang finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help objecting: "How can this be done! Marriage is There has never been a big event—”

"What you said is true?!" Xue Yuting raised her head suddenly, and looked directly at Xue Chang with a pair of black and white eyes, with hope in her eyes.

"I, Xue Chang, keep my word, but I swear here!" Xue Chang raised his right hand and said frankly.

"I... I will practice martial arts with you!" Xue Yuting also hastily responded.
