“Please, take me as your disciple! From henceforth, whatever you ask me to do, master, I will. Running errands for you, washing clothes, cooking meals, bringing you tea, cheering you up, warming your bed…” Sun Wei clung to Huang Xiaolong’s leg, suddenly attuning to a coquettish demeanor.
“My God…” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback by Sun Wei’s sudden behaviour. “Sister Bai Hu, why are you kneeling? Have you no shame? You’re a young lady of the prestigious Sun Family! Stop humiliating yourself! Where’s your dignity? Where’s your reserve? Get up! Get up quickly! I don’t take disciples! I’m just a rural kid, I never thought about accepting any disciples!”
Indeed, Huang Xiaolong never had the intention to accept disciples.
Moreover, Sun Wei is so beautiful, such a vivacious girl. What fun is it to have her as a disciple? She would make a fine wife!
But at this moment, where was Sun Wei’s dignity?
The country boy in front of her was simply extraordinary!
His superb medical skills, using energy to control needles!
His insurmountably deep knowledge of martial arts, a few casual words of guidance could help someone defeat stronger foes!
His unparalleled strength, singlehandedly annihilating the top ten experts of the Eagle Claw Sect!
His endless arsenal of top-tier tactics, ability to transmit messages secretly, his lion’s roar!
Faced with gunfire, he miraculously becomes invisible and prevails!
Such talents, practically a divine being!
When Sun Wei finally encountered someone even more powerful than the protagonist of a web novel, how could she possibly let go of the chance to become his disciple?
Dignity? Restraint? Status? None of these matter at all!
“I won’t let go! Master, if you don’t take me as your disciple, I’ll kneel forever!” Sun Wei was determined.
Huang Xiaolong initially planned to cast a bind spell on Sun Wei to free himself from her, but then, he felt a bit guilty to do that.
After a few thoughts, Huang Xiaolong decided to stall. “Well…Sister Bai Hu, becoming a disciple is a big thing. As the old saying goes, if you’re someone’s master for a day, you remain so for life. So…let me think about it. Also, I have to observe your performance. If you perform well, maybe, if I’m in a good mood, I might accept you as my disciple.”
Well, a “day” as master?
A thought popped into Huang Xiaolong’s mind… ‘So that’s what the old saying means. You must have a day…l see.’
“Master, you want to consider? You want to observe my performance?” Upon seeing the hope of becoming his disciple, Sun Wei’s beautiful eyes began to swirl with myriad colors, as she looked up at Huang Xiaolong excitedly.
“Yes, do well. Now, let me go, I need to go home.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “Stand up, don’t kneel, it doesn’t look good. If someone sees us, they might think I’m bullying you.”
“Oh…” Given the situation, Sun Wei couldn’t continue her pestering, in fear of it backfiring.
“Don’t worry, Master, I’ll definitely do my best, I’ll satisfy you!” Sun Wei stood up, patted off the dust on her clothes, swung her fist like she was making a
vow.
Huang Xiaolong glanced at the people lying on the ground driven crazy by him, then said to Sun Wei. “Well, Sister Bai Hu, you take care of these people. Aren’t you from one of the four great families in Binhai? You should be able to handle these people, right? You can get your family’s top brass to help, and don’t worry, I won’t let the Sun Family exert themselves for me. I’ve restored the lost technique of the Sun Bin’s Fist for you all. As long as the Eagle Claw Gate and the Gao Family don’t trouble me anymore. I’m not afraid of them, I just don’t want to be bothered by a bunch of annoying flies.”
Restored Sun Bin’s Fist?
Sun Wei’s eyes shone, her mood suddenly skyrocketed. “Master, are you serious?”
You should know, ancient martial arts families were superior to ordinary business families. Among the four great families in Binhai, the Sun family was not as good as the Lin and Gao families, mainly because a critical part of Sun Bin’s Fist, passed down by the Sun family, was lost over time.
If they could complete the full martial arts technique, it would certainly elevate the Sun Family!
With good management, in less than ten years, their position among the four great families in Binhai could advance!
Not to say that they would replace the Lin Family, but at least they could definitely beat the Gao Family!
“Of course it’s true.” Huang Xiaolong said seriously. “I like to live a free and easy life and don’t like being disturbed by little troubles. A complete set of Sun Bin’s Fist is nothing to me, giving it to your Sun Family doesn’t hurt me. Sister
Bai Hu, consider this as your first test. If you can’t complete it…”
“Don’t worry, Master! I know what to do!” Sun Wei interrupted. “I will go home and talk to my grandfather immediately!”
Dimly, Sun Wei seemed to foresee the rise and prosperity of her family!
“Oh, right, you can’t reveal my identity, okay? I don’t want to see anyone from your family.” Huang Xiaolong added. “Once you’ve taken care of this, I’ll teach you the lost moves of the Sun Bin’s Fist. Alright, I’m leaving, bye.”
After parting ways with Sun Wei, Huang Xiaolong drove his BYD F3 home to
Hua Lake Street.
He called Su Xiaoman.
Su Xiaoman had obediently prepared several smoked ducks, waiting for Huang Xiaolong to come home for dinner. She was reminiscent of a gentle and virtuous wife, waiting for her hard -working husband to return home.
Huang Xiaolong’s home.
Huang Xiaolong was devouring the smoked duck voraciously; his feasting appeared rather ungraceful.
Su Xiaoman, sitting near him, was tenderly wiping the grease off Huang Xiaolong’s mouth with a napkin.
“Sister Xiaoman, here’s the money. You can use it to rent the shop,” said Huang Xiaolong, speaking with his mouth full of food.
On the table was the consultation fee of 300,000 yuan given by Brother Zhao Qi, along with some money Huang Xiaolong had earned since he came to the city, amounting to over 300,000 yuan.
Huang Xiaolong only kept 500 yuan for himself.
“Little Long…” Seeing the money, Su Xiaoman’s eyes filled with tears, and her voice choked, “Little Long, why are you so good to me… Is it worth it? I’m just an ordinary woman…”
“Sister Xiaoman, don’t be silly. Is there any question of worth when I’m kind to you? You are my woman,” Huang Xiaolong looked at Su Xiaoman in surprise. “It’s expected to be good to my own woman. By the way, Sister Xiaoman, have you signed the lease for the shop?”
“Yeah, Little Long, the contract is signed. Once we pay Uncle Liu, the landlord, we’ll be done with all the procedures,” Su Xiaoman wiped her tears and said.
“That’s wonderful, Sister Xiaoman, soon you’ll be able to run your smoked duck business and make a lot of money, ” Huang Xiaolong too broke into a happy smile.
“Little Long, all the money I earn will be yours,” Su Xiaoman said earnestly. She then blushed and lowered her head, “1…1 am also yours.”
“Hehehe, Sister Xiaoman, of course you’re mine,” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “And Sister Xiaoman, if it gets too busy with the smoked duck business, hire some help. I won’t have time to help, I’m heading off to Binhai University.”
“Huh… going to… university?” Su Xiaoman looked at Huang Xiaolong in surprise.
“Yes, Sister Xiaoman, now, I’m officially a university student!” Huang Xiaolong shared his joy with Su Xiaoman.
“That’s great! Little Long, you should be attending university at your age,” Su Xiaoman also shared Huang Xiaolong’s joy.
With that, Huang Xiaolong finished all the smoked ducks and happily patted his slightly protruding belly.
The phone on the table vibrated a few times. Huang Xiaolong casually picked it up. It was a notification for a WeChat message.
“Who’s sending me a WeChat message?” Huang Xiaolong glanced at the newly received message and blurted out, “What the hell, a challenge?”
This WeChat message read— “Challenge
Time: 9 0’clock tomorrow morning
Challenge: Pulse Diagnosis for Pregnancy
Challenger: Binhai City First People’s Hospital
Rules: The hospital will randomly gather ten female volunteers. TCM practitioner Huang Xiaolong will diagnose their pulses with the supervision of media correspondents and legal advisors. If the results of TCM practitioner Huang Xiaolong’s pulse diagnoses differ from our hospital’s ultrasound results in more than two cases, then the result will be considered as a failure for Huang Xiaolong; otherwise, our hospital admits defeat.
We invite media, experts, scholars, and the general public to supervise this challenge.”
The person who sent this WeChat message to Huang Xiaolong is Doctor “Bai Hai” from the First People’s Hospital.
This is the guy who was publicly embarrassed by Huang Xiaolong at the property sales event and left in a fury.
“Huh? They’re making it so formal?” Huang Xiaolong, staring at his phone, murmured. “That Bai Hai is such a sly fox. It was clearly his personal challenge to me, but now it seems like an entire hospital is challenging me. Isn’t this getting out of hand?”
Has this gone too far?
