"What? Apprentice?!Pavilion Master Yang, you're not kidding, are you?"

Yang Zhen's words were always so unexpected, and Qiao Xiu felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

It seems like we've only met for the first time today, right? And it's been less than half an hour since you've known each other, so why did you think of taking me as an apprentice?

Qiao Xiu felt that he couldn't understand the other party's thoughts at all.

"I said, 'I am going to take you as an apprentice.' How, did you hear me clearly this time?"

Looking at Qiao Xiu's stunned appearance, Yang Zhen looked at him word by word and said loudly again.

"Uh...... I heard it clearly, but ...... Kind of don't understand. ”

Qiao Xiu looked at the other party at the moment and scratched his head a little.

"Stupid, how can there be so many people who don't understand, let me tell you straight, I fancy your qualifications, so I'm going to take you as an apprentice, this time you understand?"

Yang Zhen continued to explain with a look of disgust for your stupidity.

"How simple is it?"

"Otherwise, what else do you have to worry about me?"

"Hey......

Being said by the other party, Qiao Xiu was a little embarrassed.

Indeed, he is a big master and a rich man, powerful and rich, and he is a nobody, where is there anything worth worrying about the other party.

"Well, boy, I sincerely want to take you as an apprentice, would you like to give me an answer? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen didn't have to beat around the bush and asked directly.

Promise, hurry up and agree.

Before Qiao Xiu could answer, Hong Yi, who was listening to him, was already anxious for him in his heart.

Yang Zhen himself is the number one master in the Maocheng folk martial arts world, and he has just shown a powerful strength beyond imagination.

Qiao Xiu was able to get the favor of the other party, which was a great opportunity in Hong Yi's eyes, making him envious of a person who had a master and a teacher's inheritance, and he couldn't wait to be favored by himself.

On the contrary, Qiao Feng beside him was calmer and not too excited, but he was secretly happy to see that his younger brother could be favored by a master like Yang Zhen.

"This, Pavilion Master Yang, can you give me some time to think about it?"

Qiao Xiu thought about it for a while, but finally didn't agree casually.

It's not that he wants to put on a shelf, but it's too sudden, and apprenticeship is a very serious matter, and Qiao Xiu feels that he can't be too hasty.

At the very least, let him think calmly and calmly, and discuss it with his family.

"Okay, that's it, you go back tonight and think about it, and at the same time discuss it with your family, and wait until tomorrow, you can give me an answer if it's okay or not." ”

Yang Zhen's age was naturally easy to see Qiao Xiu's concerns, and he was not reluctant, and offered to give Qiao Xiu a night to think about it.

"Okay, then I'll get back to you tomorrow. ”

Seeing that the other party was not too pressing, Qiao Xiu finally put his mind at ease.

Actually, he was a little worried. Although Yang Zhen likes to be a teacher and wants to accept him as an apprentice when he sees a good seedling, he never forces others. Otherwise, how could the previous Iron Bull escape from the palm of his hand.

"Well, here's my business card with my contact information on it, you can take it and go back. Tomorrow you have thought it through, if you don't want to worship me as a teacher, just give me a phone call and let me know. If you agree, then come over here and find me. ”

Yang Zhen took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Xiu, and then explained.

"Okay, so let's go first?"

Qiao Xiu took the business card and prepared to leave.

"Okay, let's go. ”

Yang Zhen has no opinion on this.

"Goodbye, Pavilion Master Yang. ”

Then Qiao Xiu and the three of them greeted Yang Zhen and left.

"Yang Ye, help me investigate a person, well, a young man named Qiao Xiu. I'm going to have all the information about him by tonight. ”

Not long after Qiao Xiu and the three left, Yang Zhen in the house suddenly took out his mobile phone and made a call, and ordered the person opposite.

Obviously, although he likes Qiao Xiu's qualifications, Yang Zhen will not rashly accept a person who does not know the details as an apprentice, so it is inevitable to check the family background.

However, for a person with money and status like him, it is enough to explain this kind of matter with a phone call.

"Brother Qiao Xiu, you are really blessed, it is a great opportunity to be able to worship a master like Pavilion Master Yang as a teacher. ”

On the way to send Hong Yi back to the Hong Tiger Martial Arts Hall, Hong Yi couldn't help but sigh again and again.

"Hehe, maybe, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, but this Yang Pavilion Master is indeed very powerful, which is completely unexpected by me. ”

The envy between Hong Yi's words Qiao Xiu could naturally be heard, and he didn't have much to say about it, so he simply changed the topic.

"Yes, it's too powerful, I never thought that a martial artist could be so powerful, just like a magic spell"

Hearing Qiao Xiu talk about Yang Zhen's strength, Hong Yi was also shocked and interested.

No way, as a witness to the scene just now, he saw with his own eyes that Yang Zhen just raised his hand and clenched his fist, and Qiao Xiu stood still as if he had lost consciousness, and without waiting for him and Qiao Feng to react, Yang Zhen had already appeared beside Qiao Xiu and pressed his fist against his forehead.

The fist intent that Yang Zhen said was able to make Qiao Xiu, who was already very strong in his opinion, have no power to resist, which is simply amazing.

"By the way, Brother Qiao Xiu, what did you experience when you just competed with Pavilion Master Yang?"

Hong Yi was very curious about this.

"Yes, Ah Xiu, you were motionless and unresponsive at that time, but it scared me a lot. ”

Qiao Feng, who was driving the car, was also curious about this.

"Well, at that time, at the moment when Pavilion Master Yang clenched his fist and raised his hand, I looked at him as if he had turned into a mountain, a piece of earth, and finally even a world.

Then the mountains, the earth, and the whole world crashed against me, and my whole being was enveloped in the fear of death, and my hands and feet were so cold that I could not move.

It wasn't until a wave of unwilling anger poured out of my heart that I barely managed to break free from this feeling, but unfortunately I was defeated. ”

Qiao Xiu didn't hide the experience just now, and said it directly.

"Of course, what I saw was actually an illusion, an illusion produced under the oppression of Pavilion Master Yang's Eight Desolation Fist Intent. ”

Qiao Xiu then added.

"That's how it is, that's really amazing. ”

Qiao Feng himself is a superpower of the spiritual department, and he can better understand how strong will and spirit it takes to be like Yang Zhen.

"That's right, it's already very difficult to influence ordinary people with momentum, let alone a powerful martial artist like Brother Qiao Xiu. ”

Hong Yi agreed with Qiao Feng's exclamation.

"Ha, Brother Hong, don't laugh at me, only someone like Pavilion Master Yang can be called a powerful martial artist, I don't dare to be it. ”

Qiao Xiu listened to Hong Yi's words, shook his head with a smile, and said.

Thinking of the second kill of others just now, although it will not be hit to the point of losing confidence, it is indeed not a thing to be happy about.

However, thanks to this basin of cold water, Qiao Xiu, who was a little confident and inflated today because of the previous consecutive victories, calmed down.

It turned out that the real world was not as simple as he thought. There is already a strong person like Yang Zhen in the small Maocheng alone, so what about the entire Huahan Kingdom, or even the entire Blue Star World?

I'm still too weak!

Qiao Xiu sighed in his heart.

"Uh, this can't be compared, after all, Pavilion Master Yang is an old-timer in the martial arts world......"

When Hong Yi heard Qiao Xiu say this, he thought that he was weaker than Qiao Xiu, so he didn't know how to answer.

"Yes, Asho, don't be discouraged. Since Pavilion Master Yang wants to take you as an apprentice, it means that you are very talented, and one day you can be as powerful as him. ”

Qiao Feng listened to Qiao Xiu's words and thought that he had been hit, so he hurriedly comforted.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine. This little setback didn't hurt me, but I'm full of energy and fighting spirit now. ”

Qiao Xiu knew that his eldest brother was worried about him, so he quickly gave him a reassuring answer.

"Brother Qiao Xiu, if you worship the master of the Yang Pavilion as your teacher, your cultivation will definitely be able to improve by leaps and bounds in the future. ”

Qiao Feng just said this, and brought Hong Yi's attention back to the issue of apprenticeship.

"Well, I'm not sure about this, I'm going to go back and think about it, and discuss it with my parents by the way. ”

At this time, Qiao Xiu didn't bother to change the topic, and directly said his true thoughts.

"That's right, for such a big thing as apprenticeship, you should discuss it with your parents. ”

Hearing Qiao Xiu say this, Hong Yi nodded in agreement and stopped discussing this topic.

Then the three of them began to talk about other things. Time passed unconsciously, and Qiao Feng's car soon arrived in front of the Honghu Martial Arts Hall.

After saying goodbye to each other, seeing Hong Yi enter, Qiao Feng started the car again and drove in the direction of his home.

When I got home, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

"You're back, Ah Xiu, why did you change your clothes?"

When he got home, his father felt a little strange when he saw that Qiao Xiu's shirt was different from before he went out in the morning.

"Oh, just now we went out with a friend for a bit of exercise, and accidentally broke out our clothes, so I borrowed a piece of clothing from a friend to wear. ”

I didn't expect my father to be so sharp-eyed and have a good memory, Qiao Xiu naturally couldn't say that he was going to find someone to fight and blow up his shirt, so he made up a reason casually.

"Hey, Dad, did Lulu and Guoguo go to the second sister's house?"

Qiao Feng next to him found that his father seemed to be the only one at home, and his wife and daughter were not there, so he knew that they should go to the second sister's house.

On the way home just now, he had received a notice that the whole family would go to the second sister's house for dinner tonight.

"Well, they went first. Since you have returned, let us go too. ”

"Okay, Dad, but wait for me to change my clothes. ”

A few minutes later, Qiao Xiu changed out of the short shirt given by Tie Niu, put on his own clothes, and the father and son went out together to Qiao Yue's house next to him.

"Ahh

When he arrived at the second sister Qiao Yue's house and said hello to his family, Qiao Xiu suddenly had a lot of fun and ran over to tease his little nephew.

His huge body leaned against the small stroller, which looked a little funny.

"Ahh

Although the little nephew who was a few months old still couldn't recognize anyone, he was not afraid of Qiao Xiu, his little eyes looked at him curiously, and his little hands raised high and made a babbling sound, as if he was saying that he wanted to hug, he wanted to hug.

"Well, the little stone is so good. ”

Qiao Xiu looked at his cute appearance and couldn't help but stretch out his big hand and hugged him carefully.

I have to say that the cute child, as the purest angel in the world, is still very healing.

Qiao Xiu, who was originally a little restless because of several consecutive martial arts fights today, quickly calmed down.

"Dad, Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you. ”

During the meal, Qiao Xiu was about to tell Yang Zhen about taking him as an apprentice.

"Oh, what's the matter, can't you make up your own mind?"

Because Qiao Xiu has been very independent and assertive since he grew up, especially in the past few years, and most of the things are handled by himself, it is a little strange for his parents to say this to him suddenly.

"Well, because I can't make up my mind about this matter for a while, I would like to ask you to help me refer to it and give me a suggestion. ”

Qiao Xiu continued.

"Okay, then you can hear it. ”

Parents naturally have no problem with this.

Except for Qiao Feng, who was in the know, everyone else also looked at Qiao Xiu with a little curiosity.

"Well, that's right, just now I went to a martial arts gym with my brother and another friend, and the owner of the hall looked at my body and said that I was very suitable for martial arts, so he wanted to take me as an apprentice. It's hard to agree to this for a while, so I want to come back and discuss it with you. ”

Because most of the family members are still ordinary people, they don't know anything about the martial arts world, and Qiao Xiu doesn't completely follow the truth.

"Ah, practicing martial arts, Ah Xiu, you are so old, is it still appropriate to practice martial arts?"

My father was the first to speak.

His concept is obviously a bit stuck in the past, and it seems unreliable that Qiao Xiu has only started practicing martial arts after such a big person.

"That's not necessarily, now the world has changed, our family Ah Xiu is a superpower, what's wrong with practicing martial arts. ”

My mother didn't agree with my father's opinion.

"But Ah Xiu, I heard that martial arts training is very hard, do you really want to practice?"

The mother then added, obviously a little worried about her son's suffering.

"This, Mom and Dad, since I became a superpower, my strength has become more and more powerful, in order to facilitate the control of strength, I have also practiced martial arts, plus the habit of fitness in the past is not afraid of hard work. If I could have a teacher to teach, I would be very happy. However, because it was the first time I met the owner today, and I had just met, it seemed a bit sudden that he mentioned the apprenticeship, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while. ”

After listening to his parents' inquiry, Qiao Xiu expressed his thoughts and concerns.

"Ah Xiu, is that hall master powerful? is it practicing that kind of flower frame or the legendary real kung fu?"

The second sister next to her suddenly asked curiously.

"Well, this hall owner is an old-timer in the Maocheng martial arts world, so he naturally knows real kung fu, and he is very powerful. ”

For the curiosity of the second sister, Qiao Xiu does not hide or exaggerate, and tells the truth.

"Wow, what a kung fu master, then Ah Xiu hurry up and go to apprenticeship, come back and show me when you learn it." ”

After listening to Qiao Xiu's words, the second sister Qiao Yue began to skin again.

“......”

Qiao Xiu looked at the second sister a little speechless.

Feelings: Do you want me to practice martial arts just to watch me play kung fu?

"Since you are an old-timer in the martial arts world, and you will accept Ah Xiu as an apprentice when you meet for the first time, you should really like Ah Xiu's qualifications. ”

Hearing Qiao Xiu say this, his parents naturally quickly understood.

"Well, almost. The owner of the hall is called Yang Zhen, not only is he a master in the Maocheng martial arts world, the owner of the Maocheng Bahuang Martial Arts Hall, but he is also the chairman of the Maocheng Bafang Real Estate. ”

Qiao Xiu then told Yang Zhen's identity.

In addition to being unfamiliar with it for the first time, Yang Zhen's other identity is also the reason why Qiao Xiu has scruples.

As one of the richest people in Maocheng, Yang Zhen's family has a great career, and if he worships him as a teacher, it is inevitable that there will be entanglements and even conflicts with the people around him because of interests.

It doesn't matter to him himself, but he has to consider whether his family will be affected or even hurt by this.

"Ah, the chairman of Bafang Real Estate, that's amazing, it is said that one-third of the properties in Maocheng belong to this company, including our community. ”

If you talk about a martial arts hall owner, Qiao Xiu's second sister may not have much intuitive feeling because she doesn't know it.

But when it comes to the chairman of Bafang Real Estate, they can't help but be surprised.

Because Bafang Real Estate can be said to be one of the largest local real estate companies in Maocheng, its chairman is definitely a super tycoon in Maocheng.

This is also the difference in vision and perspective between ordinary people and insiders.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is natural that the identity of a rich person is more prominent. But in the eyes of insiders or insiders, Yang Zhen's identity as an extraordinary martial artist is the foundation behind everything.

The gap between first-order transcendents and ordinary people may not be very large, and they cannot resist the power of modern firearms head-on, so they are not yet seen by those who are rich and powerful.

However, once you become a second-order transcendent, you can basically compete head-on with ordinary firearms, and the strength of a little superman is enough to erase the status gap caused by power to some extent.

And an extraordinary existence like Yang Zhen, who has half a foot in the third order, even the official must pay enough attention and respect.

Because the third-order transcendent is already a humanoid self-propelled tank, an airplane, and a cannon-like existence

If Yang Zhen shoots with all his might, unless there is an extraordinary person of the same rank or higher or a heavy firepower to attack, no one can stop it, and ordinary people will not be enough to die.

"Ah, is this Yang Pavilion Master so big? Then, Ah Xiu might as well forget it. ”

Hearing her daughter say this, the mother, who was a little supportive of her son's apprenticeship, became worried.

In her opinion, this kind of rich family and their ordinary people are not people of the same world, and it is difficult to get along on an equal footing.

"Wait, no, Ah Xiu, if you refuse to apprentice, will you offend others?"

In the next second, my mother felt that it was inappropriate to refuse, and she was worried that she would be angry because of it.

"Don't worry, Mom, this Yang Pavilion Master himself has a good character and martial virtues, and even if he is rejected, he will not do anything to us. ”

Knowing what his mother was worried about, Qiao Xiu hurriedly explained.

"If that's the case, Axiu, you might as well think about it. If such a person with status really wants to take you as an apprentice, it is indeed a rare opportunity. ”

Hearing Qiao Xiu's assurance that Yang Zhen's character was not good, his mother hadn't spoken yet, but his father thought that apprenticeship was not bad.

"It seems to be the same. ”

My mother listened to my father's words, and when she thought about it, she felt that it made some sense.

It is said that when you meet a nobleman, you meet a nobleman, isn't this the case with your son now?

"Hey, what is my mother-in-law doing, if you want to practice martial arts, you can apprentice, it's not good to have a master as a master. ”

The second sister next to her also followed.

"Brother, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Qiao Xiu was about to ask for the opinions of the whole family, so he looked at the other three.

"I think it's okay, according to my understanding, and what I saw just now, Pavilion Master Yang is indeed a respected old-timer. ”

The eldest brother, who has not spoken, also voted in favor.

"Sounds good, Ah Xiu, you can just make up your own mind. ”

"You can try. ”

The sister-in-law and brother-in-law also have similar opinions.

In other words, after Qiao Xiu's explanation, the adults in the family all agreed with him to apprentice.

As for the two little children, it's none of their business for the time being.

"Okay, I got it. ”

At this point, Qiao Xiu almost made a decision in his heart.

Hugging your thighs is really hard to refuse!
