"From now on, they will be mine, just like Xier. I will teach them martial arts." Qibao said, looking at the little beggars and asked, "Do you all have names?"

The oldest boy immediately said, "My name is Xiaofei, and I'm the oldest among my brothers and sisters. The second oldest is Ermao, the third oldest is Ajie, the fourth oldest is Shuanzi, the fifth and sixth oldest are girls, one is Manman and the other is Yingying, the seventh oldest is Dawang, the eighth oldest is Tieniu, and the ninth oldest is Gouzi." Xiaofei introduced the boys to Qibao one by one.

Qibao was a little surprised and asked, "How did you get together? How old are you now?"

Xiao Fei said, "We don't know where our home is, or who our relatives are. We've been begging for food ever since we can remember. I only know I'm ten years old. My other brothers and sisters don't know how old they are. I ranked them by the age we met, so that's how I've been calling them. Their names were also just random ones I picked."

Qibao thought, no wonder she saw some people who were obviously older but were ranked at the back, it turned out they were not ranked according to age.

"Since you're willing to follow me, I won't hide anything from you. You can make your own decision. My family lives in Xujia Village, south of town. We have some financial resources, so you won't have any problems with food and clothing. I'm willing to let you learn martial arts from me so that you can protect my family in the future. Of course, learning martial arts isn't easy. You have to endure a lot of hardships and go through a lot of brutal training. It's very arduous. If you want to give up, I won't stop you. You only have one chance to choose, and once you're determined, there's no turning back."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought Qibao was a young master from a big family. They never expected that Qibao was just from the village. They were really surprised.

Seeing that they were silent for a while, Qibao smiled faintly and said, "Why? Now that you know I'm just a young master from a farming family, do you regret it?"

The old man reacted in advance and said, "Sir, no matter what your background is, since I am willing to follow you, I will definitely not regret it. With your ability, you will go further and further in the future. If I regret it now, I would be a fool."

The brother and sister also said: "We are already your people. It was you who saved us. No matter who you are, we are willing to follow you."

At this time, Xiao Fei also hurriedly said: "Young Master, that's not what we meant. My brother and I are just beggars. How can we regret the oath we made before because of this? Young Master is so powerful, so his family must be extraordinary, otherwise they wouldn't have cultivated a person like you."

When Qibao heard them mention their family, she thought that she hadn't seen her family for three days. Her family must miss her very much. Thinking of this, she missed her grandparents even more.

Qibao said, "Okay, in that case, I hope the twelve of you can live in harmony and trust each other. I don't want people around me to scheme against each other. If you find such a situation, you don't need to follow me anymore."

They glanced at each other and said, "Yes, we will never let you down!"

Qibao nodded in satisfaction and said, "I will take you home tomorrow. From now on, this will be your home!"

When Xiao Fei and the others heard this, they were filled with longing. This was the place they had always dreamed of. Would they finally have a home? Would the young master's family accept them? They were filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Seeing that the clothes they were wearing were really ugly, Qibao took them to the clothing store in town in the afternoon and bought two sets of clothes for each of them.

After they took a shower and changed into new clothes, they were all very happy. They had never worn new clothes before. They always wore clothes that others didn't want. This was their first new clothes, and everyone's face was full of joy.

Qibao found that these children looked pretty after washing, especially the little girl Manman, who had a small round face and big, bright eyes that were full of spirit.

There is another boy who is very handsome, but a little shy. He is ranked third and his name is Ajie. Qibao found that he would blush whenever he looked at others, which was very interesting.

After they had packed up, Qibao said, "Let's go! I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

So Qibao led a group of people to the street and stopped only at the door of the Iron Triangle BBQ restaurant.

Behind Qibao stood twelve children and an old man. This group really attracted the attention of many passers-by. Even the shopkeeper Zhang at the counter noticed so many people standing at the door.

So he walked around the counter and came out. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a face that looked very familiar to him. He looked carefully for a long time before recognizing it and was about to speak...

Qibao quickly interrupted him and said, "Manager Zhang, I'm here to have dinner today. Please arrange a large private room for me."

"Yes! Young...Master! I'll arrange it right away." Shopkeeper Zhang almost called out the word "Miss", but when he remembered that the boss had just called himself a young master, he understood the meaning and quickly changed his words.

Qibao led everyone across the hall to the box. When he passed by Cuizhu, he winked at her.

Cuizhu was stunned and didn't react for a long time. She just took a quick glance and felt that this face was so familiar. When she tried to look again, she only saw a back...

"Miss Cuizhu, is my blueberry smoothie ready?"

Cuizhu didn't come back to her senses until she heard the customer talking to her. She immediately replied, "Oh... please wait, it will be ready soon." After that, she no longer thought about what had just happened and started to speed up to make smoothies for the customer.
