Although Cao Shao's character is not a big traitor, he is still far from being gentle and courteous.

The small amount of arrogance and arrogance made Chen Mao very displeased.

But at that time, Chen Mao's love for Cao Shao's qualifications overshadowed the others.

In addition, he felt that through his own teaching, he might be able to improve Cao Shao's character, so he accepted Cao Shao as a closed disciple.

However, after Cao Shao became Chen Mao's closed disciple, his personality that had improved in the first two years of his entry returned to his original state, and there was a worse tendency.

After a year of painstaking teaching, it failed to have any effect, allowing Chen Mao to truly see what it means to be easy to change and difficult to change.

It is not difficult for Chen Mao to make an exception and change his words, he is not a person who values face very much.

But I am afraid that after Cao Shao loses his status as a closed disciple because of Li Qiu, he will have a grudge against Chen Mao and even a grudge against Li Qiu.

Chen Mao and Tao Zi'an both thought of this, and fell silent for a while.

After dozens of breaths, Chen Mao slowly spoke.

"Your Senior Brother Cao's side doesn't care about him, this matter is settled. ”

"I, Chen Mao, can't let a descendant of a martial saint only be my registered disciple, so that outsiders don't know what kind of martial saint I Chen Mao actually lives in seclusion in Shangjiang City, so the requirements for accepting apprentices are so strict. ”

Chen Mao shook his head and laughed at himself.

Tao Zi'an explained Li Qiu's situation to Chen Mao in detail, such as his young family and his calm personality.

Chen Mao nodded: "I know, go and call that young man in." ”

"Yes. ”

Tao Zi replied and walked out of the house.

Outside the house, Li Qiu waited outside for a long time, and he guessed that Chen Mao and Tao Zi'an should be in the house to discuss whether to make an exception and accept him as an entry, so there was no impatience in his heart.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Tao Zi'an walked out of the house and looked at him with a smile on his face, Li Qiu knew that this was done.

Because from beginning to end, Tao Zi'an obviously supported Chen Mao's acceptance of him as a beginner disciple.

Chen Zi'an nodded at Li Qiu, making him more sure of his guess.

Chen Mao walked out of the back room and sat on the wooden chair in the living room, and saw Chen Zi'an walking into the house with a young man in a cloth robe, a heroic appearance, and a calm expression, with a smile on his face.

His first impression of Li Qiu was very good, much better than Cao Shao back then.

Li Qiu bowed to Chen Mao and said, "I've seen the hall master." ”

Chen Mao chuckled and waved his hand: "No need to be polite, you are Zhang Xing?"

"Yes, Pavilionkeeper. Li Qiu responded.

"Zi'an told me that you are less than the age of the weak crown, you have a thousand catties of copper tripods, and your body is far tougher than ordinary people, and you are a descendant of the Martial Saint with high qualifications, and only being a registered disciple of mine is wronged by you, and I think the same way. ”

Chen Mao said to Li Qiu with a smile, and suddenly his expression was correct.

"Although I have declared that I am old, and I will no longer be a disciple after receiving three disciples, but I said the words, and it is not for me to say what to do. ”

"The size is just a loss of face, how can I not let you, a descendant of the Martial Saint, only be a registered disciple of my Chen Mao!"

Chen Mao waved his hand and said heroically.

"Tomorrow at the entrance ceremony of the new disciples of the martial arts hall, I will make an exception for you in front of the people of Shangjiang City and accept you as my fourth introductory disciple!"

Li Qiu's face showed a touch of joy and excitement at the right time, and he gave a salute to Tao Zi'an and Chen Mao respectively.

Zhang Xing thanked the senior brother and the owner for their love. ”

Chen Mao laughed twice and said.

"Although the apprenticeship ceremony has not yet been held, since you can call Zi'an a senior brother, why can't you call me a master. ”

Li Qiu's expression was solemn, and he bowed and said.

"Disciple Zhang Xing has seen Master!"

"Good!"

Chen Mao said good, God favors him so much, he can let him accept two martial saint descendants as disciples, what regrets is there in life.

"I will ask you Senior Brother Tao to accompany you to walk around the martial arts hall, pick a favorite house and live in the martial arts hall first, and wait for other things to wait for the apprenticeship ceremony. ”

"This will be your home from now on. ”

"It's all up to Master. Li Qiu hugged his fists.

He knew that Chen Mao was afraid that he would walk out of the martial arts hall and be found by the other two martial arts halls, and offer generous conditions to poach him.

After the apprenticeship, everything will be settled, and then the other two martial arts halls will have to give up this idea.

"Well, go ahead. Chen Mao waved his hand.

The disciple retired. "The disciple retired. ”

Tao Zi'an led Li Qiu out of Chen Mao's mansion and turned around in the vast martial arts hall.

"Our martial arts hall has been open in Shangjiang City for decades, recruiting batch after batch of disciples, some old disciples are still in the martial arts hall, and some have gone out. ”

"More than a dozen registered disciples, the master only accepted three as introductory disciples, after the apprenticeship ceremony, you will become the fourth introductory disciple of the master, and the other martial arts disciples, regardless of old or new, regardless of age, regardless of strength, see you and ask you to call you senior brother. ”

"And there are only three people, you need to call yourself senior brother when you see them, one is senior brother Wang Zhiping, the second is me, and the third is Senior Brother Cao. ”

Tao Zi'an said slowly to Li Qiu.

"Senior brother is obsessed with martial arts and doesn't care about the world, he will not object to the master accepting you as an apprentice, and you can't see him at ordinary times, so don't worry about him. ”

"I am very supportive of Master accepting you, a highly qualified descendant of a martial saint. ”

"You mainly have to pay attention to Senior Brother Cao, he has an arrogant personality and a small amount, because he is a descendant of the Martial Saint, and he is born with the bloodline of the Martial Saint. ”

"Your entry will make him lose his status as a closed disciple, and he will inevitably have a grudge against you, if something happens, you have to try to be patient and don't give him a chance to make a move. ”

"I remember, Senior Brother Xie's advice!"

Li Qiu looked serious and nodded.

From Tao Zi'an's words and deeds, he roughly guessed how bad Cao Shao's personality was and how unpleasant his words and deeds were.

Cao Shao has been in the martial arts hall for three years, and Tao Zi'an has become closer to him, a person who has just joined the martial arts hall, which can be seen from this.

"Just remember, I'll take you around the martial arts hall again. ”

Tao Zi'an chuckled.

He usually manages the size of the martial arts hall, and he is very boring in his spare time, and he doesn't even have anyone to talk to.

Senior brother Wang Zhiping practiced martial arts and became an idiot, staying in his own house and not taking a step out of the courtyard for dozens of days.

Cao Shao, the third junior disciple who had not been in the field for a long time, relied on his identity as a descendant of the martial saint, and he had a contemptuous posture towards everyone.

Although Cao Shao called him senior brother, he didn't feel the slightest respect for him from the other party's words and deeds.

Tao Zi'an even felt that Cao Shao had never treated him as an equal, but unlike others, Cao Shao hid his contempt for him deep in his heart and didn't dare to show it.

Both are with the bloodline of a martial saint and are both born extraordinary, although Li Qiu is a teenager, he is not arrogant, humble and calm, and he is much more likable than Cao Shao.
