Chapter 551 I'm temporarily unavailable
The living room became eerily quiet, with only the faint sound of the air conditioner blowing air.
Xiao Yifeng's face burned, but he didn't care about being embarrassed.
He tilted his head back and forth between Zhao Shun and Wang Xinyao, his mouth open but unable to utter a sound.
The words 'Peak of the Saint Realm' exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.
His understanding of martial arts, built up over the past decades, which held that martial artists were now legends and grandmasters were the pinnacle, now seemed so laughable and pathetic.
He looked at the person in front of him who didn't seem to be much older than himself, and an indescribable sense of awe welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Along with this came an almost uncontrollable ecstasy.
The end of martial arts is so vast!
He glanced at Wang Xinyao instinctively, his mind in turmoil.
What kind of unfathomable family did this junior classmate I once liked marry into?
Wang Xinyao simply smiled and nodded, confirming that what Zhao Shun said was true.
Xiao Yifeng scrambled to his feet, his heart still pounding.
He suddenly remembered hearing that Zhao Shun and his wife intended to stay in Kyoto, and a thought flashed through his mind.
He turned abruptly to face Zhao Shun, and without saying a word, knelt down with a thud, clasped his hands in a fist, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, please accept my bow!"
This startled Zhao Shun, who quickly reached out to help him up: "Hey, hey, no! Get up! This old man of mine has never thought about taking on a disciple. This matter needs to be considered carefully!"
"Master! Please accept me as your disciple!" Xiao Yifeng refused to get up.
He actually crawled forward two steps on his knees and grabbed Zhao Shun's clothes tightly with both hands.
His eyes, reddened with excitement, burned with an intense intensity.
He choked up, saying, "I swear I will study hard and never disgrace you!"
You and your wife have just settled in here, so there must be some inconveniences. From now on, I'll be your driver and guide, available whenever you need me!
“Senior brother, this is my uncle,” Wang Xinyao couldn’t help but chuckle, teasingly asking, “If you become my disciple, what should I call you?”
Zhao Haoxuan chimed in with a laugh, "Yeah, the generations are all messed up now."
Xiao Yifeng grew anxious and turned to Zhao Haoxuan.
"Good brother-in-law, let's each keep our own business! Please put in a good word for me and beg Uncle to take me in!"
He then looked at Zhao Shun, his tone almost pleading: "Master..."
“No, no, if I take on a disciple, where will my freedom be?” Zhao Shun waved his hands repeatedly.
"When your bureau encounters a tricky case in the future, won't you come to me every day?"
"Do I even want to continue living this peaceful life?"
He doesn't even want to be an emperor, so why would he want to be a mortal master?
Of course, although he appeared to be full of 'trouble' on the surface, he had other plans in mind.
He had lived a long life and had seen too many people with weak willpower.
Taking on apprentices is a matter of inheritance and is by no means a trivial matter.
He made excuses, but his gaze seemed to casually sweep over Xiao Yifeng's expression and demeanor.
He secretly considered whether this boy's character was truly as sincere and resilient as he appeared.
But the more Zhao Shun said this, the more determined Xiao Yifeng became to become his apprentice.
Seeing that Zhao Shun remained unmoved, he rolled his eyes and looked at Chen Qingfeng, who was sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face.
That was the senior he once admired the most.
"Captain Wang!" Xiao Yifeng cried out as if grasping at a straw, "You've always been my idol, please put in a good word for me!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng paused slightly in his hand as he picked up the teacup.
He exchanged a meaningful glance with Zhao Haoxuan, a knowing smile playing on his lips, and shrugged helplessly.
"Yifeng, I really can't help with this. Although we're related by marriage, according to seniority, I should call them uncle."
After saying that, he subtly raised his chin towards Madam Yu, using the steam rising from the teacup.
The meaning in his eyes was crystal clear: 'The breakthrough is there.'
Xiao Yifeng immediately understood.
He crawled two steps on his knees, turned around, and bowed to Madam Yu beside him.
“Master’s wife! Please help me! Once Liu Jianwen’s matter is settled, I’ll have my wife keep you company every day.”
Let me take you to play mahjong, go square dancing, go shopping for clothes, and get the latest trendy hairstyle! Master's wife, what do you say? Master's wife…”
When Madam Yu heard "playing mahjong" and "doing hair," a look of confusion flashed in her eyes. What was "mahjong"?
How can it be so captivating?
This Earth is indeed as interesting as Xinyao said.
Her hands, which had been resting gracefully on her knees, unconsciously began to gently clench her sleeves.
A hint of curiosity and longing for new things flickered in her eyes.
Having been on Earth for so long, I've been feeling like I don't have anyone to talk to or go shopping with.
She glanced at Xiao Yifeng, who looked resolute, and then at Zhao Shun, who was pretending to be serious.
She smiled gently, stepped forward, lightly tugged at Zhao Shun's sleeve, and whispered:
"Brother Shun, I want to learn how to play mahjong and I also want to learn square dancing. I can tell this kid is really sincere."
Besides, we're new here, and having a disciple familiar with the local customs and culture by our side...
Perhaps it would be more convenient to proceed... Why don't you... consider it?
When Zhao Shun saw that Madam Yu had spoken, he no longer dared to show any "reluctance" on his face.
Wang Xinyao spoke up at the right moment: "Uncle, I know my senior brother. He is upright, loyal, and has such enthusiasm for cultivation."
Please accept him; firstly, it will fulfill his desire to cultivate.
Secondly, it would be nice if you and your aunt and uncle could have someone to look after you in Kyoto, run errands, and keep you company.
Of course, there was one more thing she didn't say.
She grew up on Earth and has a deep affection for this place.
If my senior brother can become the Emperor's disciple, then when Earth is truly in danger...
Whether my grandfather and great-aunt are willing or not, they will lend a hand out of respect for my senior brother.
For at least the next ten years, whatever happens on Earth, they will be able to resolve it with their cultivation levels.
Zhao Shun stroked his chin, his gaze lingering for a moment on Xiao Yifeng's expectant face.
Looking at Madam Yu's expectant eyes, he finally coughed and nodded reluctantly.
"Alright, since you've put it this way and your master's wife has pleaded on your behalf... I'll accept you as my disciple."
However, we must agree on three rules: the path of cultivation is tedious and arduous, and the worst thing is to be impatient and give up halfway. Have you thought this through?
Xiao Yifeng was overjoyed and, fearing that Zhao Shun might change his mind, immediately kowtowed three times.
When he looked up, his eyes were a little red: "Master, rest assured! Your disciple will definitely remember your teachings and never slack off!"
"Alright, get up. However, I don't have time right now. We can talk about teaching you later."
After saying that, Zhao Shun ignored him and turned on the TV to watch it by himself.
"Yes, Master, as long as you agree to take me as your disciple, it doesn't matter when you teach me!" Xiao Yifeng smiled so broadly that his mouth couldn't close.
At this moment, Wang Xinyao took out six gold bricks from her pocket and handed them to him.
"Senior brother, take some time to convert this into money and help me buy a villa in Kyoto so that my uncle and aunt can live there."
