Chapter 16: The Teacher
It has been more than half a month since the last time he fought with Xiao Ding, and Xiao Yue's genius name has gradually spread in the family, although at the beginning, many clansmen always looked at him with disbelief and suspicion, but Xiao Yue's response to this was to deliberately show his strength and maturity in front of others.
Time passed, and after half a month, the original skeptical eyes gradually turned into expectations and appreciation, and although his peers were still estranged from him, their attitude towards him changed from indifference to awe. The only thing that bothered Xiao Yue was that many cute little girls began to like to come to him, which made him can't help but feel that girls from other worlds are too precocious!
In addition, his mother Zhao Yi was suddenly appointed by the family not long ago to take over a large pill shop, both the family status and treatment have been greatly improved! In this regard, Zhao Yi himself is very inexplicable, but Xiao Yue understands that this is probably because the family high-level has noticed him and successfully confirmed his talent, so he will be the most direct expression of goodwill, but unfortunately the high-level has not taken the initiative to contact him so far, I think I want to observe for a while.
During this period, Xiao Yue was not idle, in addition to normal classes and cultivation, he and Xiao Li went out to find a ruffian to fight, relax and relax! In addition, most of the time was used to make gunpowder that he had high hopes for, and after hundreds of blends, he finally concocted the most reasonable proportion of raw materials at present.
But he was not too happy, because even if this kind of east is completed, he has no channel to turn it into money, in fact, the best way is to find a big force to cooperate and get a share! But Pifu is not guilty, Huaibi is guilty, he believes that any person with vision only understands the value of this gunpowder, may not do what he thinks, the biggest possibility is to put him under house arrest and force him to ask for the formula, and then kill people to kill people.
Therefore, he first ruled out the idea of cooperating with outside forces, and instead focused on the family, after all, he was surnamed Xiao in love, and this kind of elbow turning outward should not be done well! However, if he is just an ordinary clansman, he may not get any expectations if he takes the initiative to find high-level cooperation, don't think that those people are good birds, otherwise they will not become high-level, although there will be no tragic results, but they don't want to get any benefits, at most, they will give some comfort.
It was because he had worked so hard to sell himself during this period of time, just hoping to have enough weight in the hearts of those high-level leaders, so as to expect to take enough benefits in this cooperation! But the family has not taken the initiative to summon him until now, and he has not even had the opportunity to propose cooperation, which really makes him panic, and in the end, he can't bear the passivity and decides to take the initiative......
"Xiao Yezi, what is the matter with you today, you want me to call my brother out together?" Outside the school, looking at the other children who were coming home one after another with happy faces, Xiao Li frowned and leaned against the doorpost of the school, tilting his head in boredom and saying lazily.
"Hehe, you'll know later, now let's wait for the clan brother to arrive!Why, Li Shao is so impatient?" Xiao Yue shrugged her shoulders and chuckled lightly, looking mysterious while not forgetting to tease him.
"Cut, even if you don't say it, it's mysterious!" Rolling his eyes, maybe it was too boring, Xiao Li disdainfully sighed, so he continued to wait helplessly, and complained: "Really, why is the eldest brother so procrastinating, slow to die!"
"I guess what's wrong?" Xiao Yue was also a little puzzled, Xiao Ding he knew was a very self-disciplined person, and it should be impossible to do things like releasing pigeons, so he could only be mistaken by something.
"The devil knows!" Xiao Li pursed his lips and said impatiently.
"Hehe!" Regarding the other party's impatience, Xiao Yue just smiled and didn't comment much.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Yezi!"
Finally hearing Xiao Ding's voice, Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows, looked up at the visitor, and chuckled: "It's here! Where?"
But seeing that Xiao Ding was still followed by a fifty-year-old man who was in good spirits and slightly majestic between his eyebrows, Xiao Yue faintly felt familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"Hey, grandpa, when are you coming back?" Xiao Yue was puzzled, Xiao Li had already run forward and shouted loudly.
"Haha! Grandpa is back!"
The old man laughed, and then gave Xiao Li a bear hug arrogantly, which looked quite intimate, and Xiao Yue also understood the identity of this old man, who was the previous patriarch of the family, Xiao Lin, and one of the sources of the divorce flow that led to the beginning of the story.
Although he is not familiar with this old patriarch, Xiao Yue has also heard a little about his style, it is said that since Xiao Zhan gave birth to Xiao Ding, the other party simply removed the position of patriarch, and then shook his hands and ran around the world.
It's just that this old man's free and wanton attitude made Xiao Yue a little regretful while admiring, the other party was chic and chic, and he was at ease, but it was precisely because of this character that he ended up being seriously injured in a battle with the enemy, and finally died!
Regarding what happened to the other party in the future, Xiao Yue didn't want to remind him, at least not now. After all, in the final analysis, he is not familiar with the other party, let alone has no intimate relationship, even if he is the biological grandfather of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and the former patriarch of the family! But to be honest, even if he reminds him, what good is it, whether the other party believes it or not, if it provokes the other party's disgust, it will seem stupid! So whether the other party dies or not, it is his business, and indiscriminate interference may affect the plot.
However, for his arrival, although Xiao Yue didn't understand the other party's intention, she was still a little surprised. Originally, he wanted to communicate his research results to the top management through the two brothers, but now he has saved a lot of effort. If it is conveyed through the mouth of the old patriarch, it will undoubtedly be more convincing, perhaps he was still a little worried that Xiao Ding and the two brothers would not be taken seriously, but now he is full of confidence. The only doubt is whether the thing that will be released later will succeed in impressing the other party.
"Xiao Yezi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, this is my grandfather, my grandfather has rarely returned to the family over the years, and you are not familiar with it!" Xiao Ding was stunned when he saw Xiao and quickly explained.
In fact, Xiao Ding was also very puzzled by his grandfather's sudden request to follow him, early this morning to see his grandfather who had been away from home for a long time suddenly returned to the family, Xiao Ding was also very happy, but unfortunately it was too late for his grandchildren to reminisce, his father directly pulled his grandfather to lock him in the house for most of the hour, and then when he came out, he heard that he was going to come out to find Xiao Yue, so he was impatient to ask to follow him.
Not noticing the doubt in Xiao Ding's eyes, nodding, Xiao Yue stepped forward unhurriedly, bowed, and said cautiously: "Xiao Yue has seen the old patriarch!"
Although he knew that the other party would definitely only be reduced to the background in the future, Xiao Yue was now a member of the Xiao family, and the necessary posture and etiquette still had to be done.
After Xiao Lin comforted Xiao Li, he kept looking Xiao Yue up and down in the puzzled eyes of several people, as if looking at a rare treasure, and the naked heat in his eyes made Xiao Yue's heart furious.
"You're Xiao Yue, yes! Not bad!" After almost ten seconds, he spoke, his voice was not loud, but it was very thick, and there was a sense of anticipation in his tone.
"Yes!" Xiao Yue responded, he also noticed the other party's strangeness, his heart moved, and he suddenly felt that the family leaders did not pay as much attention to him as he thought.
Sure enough, Xiao Lin didn't bother, and went straight to the point: "Speaking of which, I will go back to the family this time because of you! Zhan'er asked me to be your teacher and guide your cultivation, and I agreed!"
"Ah......h
Not only Xiao Yue was stunned, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were also surprised, you must know that their grandfather is a strong man at the level of Dou Ling, those elders and some high-level leaders of the family begged him to take his own children as apprentices, but he didn't agree, why did he suddenly take the initiative to be Xiao Yue's teacher this time!
Xiao Yue was undoubtedly shocked in his heart, although he had always wanted the family to pay attention to him and attach importance to him, but suddenly he attached so much importance to it, even the only fighting spirit powerhouse in the family invited him out of the mountain to teach him, it would be too weird!
"Why?" Although his heart fluctuated, Xiao Feng still pretended to be calm on the surface, raised his little head and asked the doubts in his heart directly.
"Oh, why do you want to ask why? Shouldn't you be shocked and excited right now?" Seeing that Xiao Yue was not overjoyed by this, she reacted calmly and asked the reason, so different from other young children's expression, Xiao Lin couldn't help but be surprised and appreciated.
"It's so abnormal, even though I have shown a good talent these days, it is far from reaching the earth-shattering level, I really can't think of any reason to alarm the family to let you come out of the mountain to teach me!" Xiao Yue had calmed down the waves in her heart, and asked in a childish voice that was neither humble nor arrogant.
It is undoubtedly very stupid to continue to pretend to be stupid and cute now, which will not only make others despise him, but also meaningless.
"Hehe, it's really beyond my expectations! You are very smart, and your mind is far more mature than your peers, and Xiao Ding is far inferior to you just because of this caution!" Xiao Lin smiled, looking at Xiao Yue's gaze more and more satisfied, and couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart.
"You've won the prize! Now please answer my question first, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to worship you as a teacher with peace of mind!"
Xiao Yue's small face was still unwavering, as if the person in front of her was not a strong fighting spirit, and she was still stunned but not rude to stare at her eyes and ask.
This attitude made Xiao Ding and Xiao Li on the side dumbfounded, when had they ever seen other people speak to their grandfather in a direct way, not to mention that the other party still seemed to be dissatisfied with being accepted as an apprentice by their grandfather, if this was known to the high-level people of the family who couldn't find anything, I don't know if they would be so depressed that they vomited blood.
"It's a good thing to be cautious, but in my opinion, your current vigilance is obviously a bit redundant, I can't tell you for the specific reason, at least you are not qualified to know now, but I can clearly tell you that your own potential is far from being as ordinary and simple as you think, once you tap all these potentials, it will definitely shock the world!" Xiao Lin did not answer Xiao Yue's question directly, but looked at him a little incomprehensibly and said in a deep voice, with a thick fanaticism in his rough voice.
"Potential?"
Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Xiao Yue combined the plot of the original work and the information revealed in the other party's words, so she quickly deduced the reason to ** inseparable from ten. In his opinion, the only reason why the family can show so much importance to a clan is the bloodline of the Doudi Emperor, which is irrefutable, the strange talent he shows now is indeed similar to the awakening of the bloodline talent in the ancient eight clans in the original book, and for the high-level who know the roots, it is indeed easy to link him with the bloodline of the Doudi Emperor.
Xiao Yue didn't guess that there would be such a result, and she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, but she didn't have the idea of telling the truth, after all, with the family's current speculation and attention to him, it was undoubtedly very beneficial to him, at least much better and better than the goal he set at the beginning.
Knowing the reason, Xiao Yue naturally understood how to get the greatest benefit, and no longer hesitated, her little face was solemn, and she immediately bowed three times and nine times directly to Xiao Lin, and said respectfully: "Xiao Yue to meet the teacher!"
"Haha... Since I have become my disciple, I can't lose my old man's face in the future, let alone live up to the expectations of my family!" Xiao Lin smiled, looking very satisfied, and at the same time did not forget to admonish him.
"The disciple will live up to the teacher's expectations, as long as the family is willing to train me, the disciple will be able to bring glory to the family. In this regard, Xiao Yue also responded with a small face.
"Very well, I'm sure you won't let me and my family down. Xiao Lin's face bloomed, and then he patted the other party's little head fiercely in Xiao Yue's resentful gaze, it was obvious that he was still quite satisfied with Xiao Yue's answer.
"Oh yes......!"
Desperately getting rid of Xiao Lin's palm, Xiao Yuexiao suddenly smiled weirdly on her face, tilted her head to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, who were obviously a little stunned by a series of unexpected changes, and teased: "Now... With my seniority, do you have to call me uncle! Two good nephews...... Hey, hey!"
"......!" the corners of the two brothers' mouths twitched at the same time, with a sense of messy gloom in the wind.
"Hahaha......!" Seeing this, Xiao Lin took the lead in laughing heartily.
Suddenly, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li couldn't help but look up at the sky, silently flowing wordless tears in their hearts.
Xiao Yue, who was quietly watching this interesting scene, looked harmless to humans and animals on the surface, and glanced at Xiao Lin's bold appearance out of the corner of her eyes, but secretly said in her heart: "Hehe... As long as you live up to me, I won't let you die lightly in this life!"
