In the living room, Xie Budong and Ma Tao sat on the sofa face to face, and Lin Xiaoshan stood behind him with his hands down.

Xinxin woke up when they entered the house, and saw that his brother had something to talk about, and obediently returned to the room.

"Mr. Xie, the Sword Saint I just mentioned is one of my former leaders, and it is inconvenient for me to say his name, since you don't know, it must be his old man's intention, and I don't dare to reveal it. Ma Tao explained ominously. Lin Xiaoshan stood behind him and looked at Xie Budong carefully, and Xie Budong was also looking at him.

"This man looks a little familiar. Both of them thought at the same time.

This is, Ma Tao's phone rang, and it was Ma Chongde calling.

"Dad, I found out that it was an order issued by one of my subordinates in my name. His relative is a real estate developer, and Liu Xiaoming is the contractor who is responsible for his construction, because of the problem of arrears of the project Liu Xiaoming came to the door several times to ask for accounts, and the two people had a dispute, and the relative asked my subordinates to clean up this contractor who did not know how to lift, so there is today's matter. ”

Ma Chongde finished speaking in one breath, and said slowly: "I have already arranged for someone to control him, you let people deal with it, as for other things, don't tell me, I don't want to know, just say goodbye." ”

"Where is my uncle?" Ma Tao turned on the hands-free, so Xie Budong heard it clearly, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and threw a stick for Ma Tao and Lin Xiaoshan.

Lin Xiaoshan didn't answer and let the cigarette fall to the ground. Ma Tao took it and smiled and signaled that he would not smoke.

"Don't worry, just now my people found out that your uncle and aunt are hiding in a hotel not far from here, which is very safe, but their phones are turned off, and I don't dare to let people disturb them without your arrangement.

"It's okay. Xie Budong's hanging heart relaxed, since his aunt and uncle are fine, he doesn't want to pursue it too much, and I believe that Ma Tao will handle the rest of the matter. He looked at Lin Xiaoshan with interest and said, "Brother Lin, I've seen you so well." ”

"I feel that way, too. Lin Xiaoshan's tone was a little unkind, and he felt a huge momentum on Xie Budong, which made him feel very threatening.

"Have you ever been to Yancheng?" suddenly thought of a scene half a year ago, as if the person I met that day, but I didn't pay attention to it when it was dark. Xie Budong didn't bring glasses today, and Lin Xiaoshan hid his aura so that he couldn't detect the strength of this young man.

Lin Xiaoshan was startled, and suddenly remembered something: "Is it you? This is impossible, you were just an ordinary person at that time, I can't be mistaken, how can you ...... now?"

"Hahaha, sure enough, it's you, third brother, long time no see. ”

Lin Xiaoshan was the one who kidnapped Xu Yi in the alley with Wang Ming half a year ago, and he was accidentally bumped into by Xie Budong at that time, and he almost put himself in.

"Oh, do you know?" Ma Tao also felt a little magical, his godson suddenly disappeared for a long time more than half a year ago, and he didn't return to Anning until not long ago, he knew the details of Lin Xiaoshan, and because he had already retired, he didn't ask much.

"Yes, we know each other. Lin Xiaoshan said a little ashamedly: "About a year ago, one of my enemies went out of the customs, I fought with him many times, in order not to implicate you, so I left Anning to go to a distant relative in Yancheng, who knew that his father was suddenly seriously ill, and I didn't bring money and couldn't contact the family, so I had to choose to rob." ”

Although he did indiscriminate things, his tone was righteous and awe-inspiring: "The first time I mistakenly thought that the target was a young lady, and then I found out that I had misunderstood, and it was at that time that I met... Mr. Xie. Later, I got rid of a few robbers who had spread to Yancheng and got money for my relative to see a doctor. ”

"Hahaha, there is such a coincidence. Ma Tao suddenly had an idea, the battle between his son and his apprentice was peaceful and full of turmoil, he didn't want to ask, but after today's events, he was determined to rectify it and completely cancel these two strengths. And this godson has always been his favorite child, Lin Xiaoshan is the child of his old comrade-in-arms, when his comrade-in-arms died on the battlefield, he entrusted the child who was just ten years old to him before he died, so he has been taking care of this godson like a son for so many years until he grows up.

The old comrade-in-arms is a person from the ancestral martial arts world, and then I don't know why I washed my hands and retired to the rivers and lakes, and there are ancestral cheats at home, but his qualifications are not enough for half a lifetime of penance and only practiced to the level of the first order, after his sacrifice, even his son and the cheats were handed over to Ma Tao, Ma Tao's own talent is not very good, but Lin Xiaoshan is indeed a rare martial arts genius, in the case of half-understanding, he reached the level of the middle of the third order at the age of only twenty-two, which makes Ma Tao so embarrassed.

However, there is no guidance from a famous teacher, and he knows very little about this obscure cheats, and Lin Xiaoshan has been stuck in the bottleneck for a long time, after today's events, Ma Tao came up with the idea of letting Lin Xiaoshan follow Xie Budong, although his own strength is average, but half a lifetime of experience can accurately see that Xie Budong definitely has extraordinary strength, and this young man is also called "little brother" by the Sword Saint, so that Yizi can find such a backer, maybe it is a great opportunity.

"Ahem, Mr. Xie, I have a reluctant request and I don't know if I should talk about it or not. ”

"You say first.... I'll listen. Suddenly found that the half-grown old man in front of him was looking at him with golden eyes, Xie Budong was uncomfortable, this look was exactly the same as when Xu Yi's father saw him for the first time.

This old guy doesn't have a daughter who wants to marry me. Xie Budong thought secretly.

"That's right, Lin Xiaoshan is my godson, his father used to be my comrade-in-arms, sacrificed on the battlefield, he is also a loyal martyr, this kid has a strong talent for martial arts, but my strength is low, I can't give him anything, today I have the fate to meet Mr. Xie you, I want Xiaoshan to worship you as a teacher, follow your side, I don't know what you think. ”

"What?" Xie Budong and Lin Xiaoshan's colleagues were taken aback.

"Well, that's not right. Xie Budong glanced at the old man and didn't understand what he meant. "Mr. Ma, Brother Lin's kung fu is very good, I just learned martial arts not long ago, and I am not modest to say that although I have some skills by chance, there is nothing to teach him, you see that this matter is still forgotten. ”

In fact, Xie Budong really wanted to accept Lin Xiaoshan, and it could be seen from the events of that night that he was an iron-clad man, but he really had nothing to teach him, after all, he didn't want to make his secrets public too early.

"No, no, no, you're mistaken. Ma Tao explained: "I don't want you to teach him anything, Xiaoshan has an ancestral secret book at home, but this kind of ancient book is obscure, I am afraid it will be difficult to become a big tool without the guidance of a famous teacher, as long as you agree, I will hand over this child and the secret book to you." ”

"It's unacceptable. He thought for a while and said: "That's it, I won't shirk it, but apprenticeship is resolutely not good, I don't have the strength and qualifications to be Brother Lin's master, if I don't dislike it, I am willing to follow the example of the ancients and worship Brother Lin as a brother, and he will be my eldest brother in the future, how about it." ”

His words were said to Ma Tao, but his eyes were looking at Lin Xiaoshan.

Lin Xiaoshan is naturally 10,000 reluctant to do this kind of thing, but if it is the intention of his father-in-law, and Xie Budong agrees, then he will serve Xie Budong with a disciple ceremony no matter what, which is the morality of the rivers and lakes, and it is also what he should do as a son. At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xie Budong say his intention to bow down, this is the best result, and Lin Xiaoshan also wants to know how this young man can reach this level in just half a year.

"That's fine. Seeing Xie Budong's resolute attitude, Ma Tao didn't force it, no matter how he could get Xiaoshan to follow him. "Xiaoshan, listen, from now on Mr. Xie will be your younger brother, but you remember, although he is your younger brother in name, in fact, you have to treat him as a master, no matter what happens, you must stand firmly by his side, do you understand?"

"The child understands!"
