Chapter 235 Officially Accepting Apprentices
Another day passed, and Tongfu Inn suddenly had a wedding.

Bai Zhantang came early in the morning to inform Li Xin that he was going to marry Tong Xiangyu.

"What's going on? Couldn't shopkeeper Tong and her father force the marriage?"

Li Xin asked knowingly.

"It's not that he forced it. He always wanted to take Xiangyu away when he came here this time, saying that it's too unsafe for dragons and snakes to mix in our town. How can I be willing to do that! Just marry Xiangyu!"

Bai Zhantang spoke frankly, but the expression on his face seemed to be a little tangled.

"Brother Bai, I think you...are you not ready to start a family yet?"

Li Xin.

"If you say you understand me, I'm not unhappy at all, but I don't feel any excitement at all. It doesn't matter to me whether I get married or not."

Bai Zhantang scratched his chin, tilted his head slightly and said.

"This shows that you have a strong psychological quality. Maybe after you officially get married, you feel that you will come? Tell me, what do you plan to do? Do you want me to help?"

Li Xin persuaded Tong Xiangyu to be a good home for Bai Zhantang, and it would be best for this pair to take advantage of this opportunity to succeed directly.

"It's free of fuss, we just have a good meal."

Bai Zhantang didn't pay much attention to this.

"Are you still going to confess your identity? Tianjiwei can hide it from you, and you can hide your official position, but you can tell shopkeeper Tong that you saved Jia, and you can show off the gold medal of exoneration."

Li Xin didn't expect that Bai Zhantang would still be holding back after getting married.

"Let's talk about this later, but I should use the 1 taels you gave me last time. I have to buy a big house in the town."

It is rare for Bai Zhantang, the 1 taels were not spent indiscriminately.

"The money is already yours, and you can use it as you like."

Li Xin gave 1 taels at the beginning, but in fact, the deep purpose was to recruit Bai Zhantang's subordinates.

The latter once complained that he was not as rich as Li Xin, so he couldn't afford to support his subordinates, and the deputy commander had always been a polished commander.

Li Xin listened to it and kept it in his heart, so he gave him so much money.

Now it seems that Bai Zhantang didn't mean to recruit his subordinates, and chose to spend the money on himself and buy a big house to live in.

It's affordable and there's nothing wrong with it.

The two chatted for a while, and Mo Xiaobei and Qiu Xiaodong came to the door.

Especially Qiu Xiaodong, who came here with his father Qiu Yuanwai.

Qiu Yuanwai is a well-known figure in the town, and this time he came with gifts, a total of three carts of gifts, which were parked at the gate of Li Xin's house.

"Member Qiu, as the saying goes, you don't get rewarded for meritorious deeds. You brought such an important gift to the door, is it..."

Li Xin said so on the surface, but he has already guessed a little bit.

"Your son is naughty. I have been taken care of by Mr. Li. I heard that he has already worshiped you as a teacher. How can I save this apprentice ceremony! If it is passed on to the outside world, where will I put my old face!"

Qiu Yuanwai was very polite, but a little stubborn.

Li Xin didn't even say that he would accept the gift, so he directed a few servants who came with him to move things from the carriage and piled them all up at the gate of the house.

"Qiu Yuanwai misunderstood, I just taught the basics casually, and did not formally accept apprentices."

Li Xin couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't even formally accept Mo Xiaobei as an apprentice, but now Qiu Xiaodong was serious about it.

Looking at Qiu Xiaodong's expression as if he was constipated, it can be seen that all of this is Qiu Yuanwai's own initiative.

"Mr. Li is too modest. Our town is getting more and more unbalanced. You are willing to teach me a little fist, which can save lives at critical times. How can it be regarded as a joke? From now on, you will be my son's master! A teacher for one day and a father for life , if he dares to be disobedient and unfilial, Mr. Li can teach him a lesson, and it doesn't matter if he breaks his limbs!"

Qiu Yuanwai finished speaking in one breath, and without waiting for Li Xin to answer, he yelled at Qiu Xiaodong: "Hurry up and give your master a big gift!"

Qiu Xiaodong sighed, knelt down in front of Li Xin, and kowtowed nine times.

The movement is not standard, and there is no knocking sound, but it is not easy.

If a child really kowtows to the ground, it is estimated that he will be injured and stunned directly. Generally, in this case, he will be given a cushion to cover it.

"Get up, I'll accept you."

Li Xin could stop him halfway, but chose to accept Qiu Xiaodong.

The main reason is that he really likes this child, otherwise Qiu Yuanwai's semi-kidnapping method would have kicked him out long ago.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Member Qiu was overjoyed, and after saying a few more words, he consciously went back.

As soon as he left, Mo Xiaobei knelt down in front of Li Xin with a "thump", and kowtowed in the same way.

Li Xin accepted her big gift with a smile.

They already accepted Qiu Xiaodong, so there was no reason not to accept Mo Xiaobei, otherwise she would have a catastrophe.

"In the future, I will call you Brother Li or Master?"

Mo Xiaobei got up and said.

"Both of you are free to bark together, depending on the situation."

Li Xin behaved very casually.

"Brother, congratulations, you have accepted two apprentices in a row, and you will be the one to accept it in the future."

Bai Zhantang said congratulations, but his expression was sympathetic.

Mo Xiaobei suddenly said: "Brother Bai, my sister-in-law told you to go back to the inn, saying that your old lover is here."

"What? Who's here?"

Bai Zhantang was shocked.

"It's the one called... called Zhan Hongling."

Mo Xiaobei recalled a little.

"Mom! Why didn't you say this earlier!"

Bai Zhantang suddenly became like an ant on a hot pot, and started to run around in circles, thinking of countermeasures urgently.

"I just came here, and it happened that Qiu Xiaodong came to study as a teacher, I forgot."

Mo Xiaobei scratched her face apologetically.

"Brother, you have to help me!"

Bai Zhantang came over and grabbed Li Xin's arm, showing grievance and pleading.

"Brother Bai, this is your emotional debt. Outsiders can't get in. Sorry, I can't help you."

Li Xin pulled out his arm and shook his head to express his opinion.

"Ugh!"

Bai Zhantang was dejected, took two deep breaths, and walked out of Li Xin's house step by step as if resigned to his fate.

"When I grow up, I must not be so useless."

Qiu Xiaodong looked at Bai Zhantang's back sympathetically and said.

"Xiaodong, what's the matter with your father? Why is he so enthusiastic? I don't have any friendship with him. Although I have a bit of reputation in the town, it's not about martial arts. If he lets you learn martial arts, you can spend money to hire a famous one. master."

Li Xin asked at this time.

"It's my disciple who told me that Master, you are an old man with excellent martial arts skills, even better than Nan Siqi who came to town last time. Father has always trusted me, and he will believe what I say."

Qiu Xiaodong has entered the role of apprentice.

"So it is."

Li Xin glanced at Mo Xiaobei, it must be this girl who told Qiu Xiaodong all about her skills.

I just don't know how much to say, how much to keep.

"Okay, since you are officially my apprentices, I have to teach you seriously, and I will start zama step today."

Li Xin originally wanted to teach casually. If he didn't formally accept apprentices, he might start teaching sword skills or internal skills.

But since you want to teach seriously, you must first sharpen your temper.

When Mo Xiaobei and Qiu Xiaodong heard this, they immediately complained.
