Apprentice?!

Xia Ya's eyes widened at the same time, and even Xia Fan was slightly stunned.

He really didn't expect that Ye Kui would be able to make such a decision.

After all, this kind of thing is very serious and binding.

Whether in the outer realm or in the mysterious inner realm, the relationship between master and apprentice can be compared with the relationship between parents and children!

This is not just the word 'apprenticeship', once you really become a master and apprentice, then even if there is no intersection between the two people before, after becoming a master and apprentice, they will be most closely linked.

Therefore, Xia Fan really didn't have any psychological preparation for Ye Kui to suddenly say such a sentence.

He originally thought that Ye Kui couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart after seeing the Great Blood Style last night, so he ran over early in the morning, hoping to learn something related to the Great Blood Style from him through the words he asked.

But now it seems that Ye Kui's determination is far more exaggerated than he thought......

After all, judging from the superficial situation, for outsiders, he is only sixteen years old now, and he is only a martial artist, although he has shown amazing forging talent, but after all, he is just a young master in an ordinary small family.

And Ye Kui is a forger who has been famous for a long time! It also has a martial sect-level cultivation! And the city lord of Qingyang City has a good relationship!

No matter how you look at it, there is a huge gap in status between the two.

In this case...... Ye Kui was still able to make such a decision, which made Xia Fan a little impressed by this burly man for a while.

This is a very pure person!

Last night, I just felt that this Ye Kui's personality was very straightforward, like most forgers, straight and straight, without many twists and turns.

But looking at it today, the simple word 'straightforward' is really not enough to describe Ye Kui, this person...... What a guy with a real temperament!

"It seems to be quite sincere, but the age difference between you and me is too big, so I can't agree."

After being silent for a while, looking at Ye Kui's extremely nervous expression, Xia Fan finally shook his head.

"What's wrong with age! There is no order to learn, and the master is the teacher! Although I am older than you in age, the gap between me and you in terms of forging level cannot be calculated! Xia Shao, I'm not joking, I'm serious. ”

Ye Kui seemed to have expected Xia Fan to refuse, so after hearing Xia Fan's words, his face did not show any disappointment, but continued to speak.

"Your age is old after all, even if I have the heart to teach you, the achievements and breakthroughs you can achieve in the future will inevitably be limited by the problem of age, and you will not be able to reach the real peak level. To tell you the truth, even if I really want to take in disciples, you can't meet my criteria for accepting disciples. ”

Looking at Ye Kui's persistent look, Xia Fan sighed and said his thoughts very directly.

Xia Ya and the three of them really didn't expect Xia Fan to be so faceless to Ye Kui, and the refusal was neat, not to mention, and even the content of the refusal was not decorated.

Not to mention anything else for the time being, at least for now, if you really look at the entire Dongshan County, the black-iron fourth-order forging master in front of you, purely in terms of status, I am afraid that it will be above Yang Wanli, the city lord of Qingyang City.

Such a character willingly wants to apprentice with Xia Fan, which is incredible enough in the eyes of Xia Ya and the three of them.

But what he never expected was that Xia Fan still didn't agree!

How do you feel like you're just getting some sleep...... It's as if the whole world has changed?!

Xia Ya and the three of them looked at Xia Fan and Ye Kui blankly, although they felt that Xia Fan's attitude was really bad and did not show due respect for Ye Kui, but the three of them didn't say anything.

If none of the parties have any opinions...... What are they anxious about......

Sure enough, for Xia Fan's straightforward statement, Ye Kui didn't show any signs of anger, but there was a trace of bitterness on his face, he sighed helplessly, and said to Xia Fan again: "What Xia Shao said is that I didn't think it through, but it was difficult for a strong man." Well...... Then I'll bother for today, I'...... Go back first. ”

Seeing that Ye Kui finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave with a lonely face, Xia Fan suddenly said: "There is no need to rush back, although I will not accept you as an apprentice, but it is still okay to take you by my side." If you learn something from this, it's your own ability, and I haven't taken the initiative to teach you, so it has nothing to do with me. ”

Ye Kui's steps just now froze suddenly, and then the whole person suddenly turned around, and his face was already full of ecstasy.

"Father, if it's all right, I'll go back to the courtyard first. Also, on the Liu family's side, we can force it tighter, Lord City...... Will be on our side. ”

After Xia Fan finished speaking, he faced Xia Ya and bowed slightly, beckoned to Ye Kui again, and then walked out of the courtyard of the Council of Elders.

Ye Kui hurriedly followed, but before leaving, he chased after Yang Wanli and the others separately.

For a while, only Yang Wanli and the three of them stood in the courtyard of the Presbyterian Church, looking at each other.

"Uncle Zhou, if I'm not mistaken, Xia Fan, this stinky boy, also knows how to refine medicine, right? At that time, under your persuasion, I didn't get to the bottom of it, and I didn't know what this kid's alchemy level was. But I didn't expect that now it's not just refining medicine, but even forging him? I don't know what the level of his refining medicine is, but the level of forging must be extremely high, otherwise there is no need for this black-iron fourth-level forging master to beg for apprenticeship so much. So now...... Do you still think we shouldn't know something more detailed? ”

Xia Ya looked at Steward Zhou, and did not shy away from Xia Wufear, and said directly.

"This ...... My lord, I always felt that if the second young master thought that it was time to explain to us, he would confess everything to us. As for now, since the second young master doesn't want to take the initiative to explain, let's ...... It's better to keep silent. ”

Steward Zhou leaned over and said.

"I know you're right, but as a father, I find myself so ignorant of my son."

Xia Ya sighed, and continued rather self-deprecatingly: "First refining medicine, now forging, even if someone tells me again in the future, Xia Fan's stinky boy even understands runes, I'm afraid I won't be surprised." I really don't know about me...... When is it? ”

"My lord, at least everything is going in a good direction, isn't it? I think that since the second young master doesn't need us to worry about it anymore, then we can focus all our energy on other things, which is a good thing for the entire family. ”

Steward Zhou bowed again and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten your lordship...... Did you make a great wish on your first day as head of the family? ”

"Of course I haven't forgotten, I want to take the Xia family of Qingyang City back to the Xia family tree of the royal capital of the capital, and I want the Xia family of Qingyang City to set foot on the land of the capital again in my lifetime!"

Xia Ya suddenly narrowed his eyes, and this look was extremely similar to when Xia Fan squinted his eyes.

"I just didn't even think about it...... Turns out there's really hope for that......"
