Hu Jiuyuan's anger suddenly vanished.

"Hey, hey, hey, you said that yourself!" Hu Jiuyuan pointed at Master Cui with a smug look on his face, deliberately saying it loudly so that Lin Wanyue and Lin Ziqiu could hear.

Master Cui wasn't afraid of him at all, and stood in front of Lin Ziqiu with his hands on his hips.

No matter how powerful this old man was when he was alive!

But now that they're all dead, why should we be afraid of him?

Let him kill himself if he dares, but don't make him abandon his students.

Master Cui raised his chin.

"Hmph." Hu Jiuyuan revealed a smug smile.

Lin Wanyue and Lin Ziqiu didn't see clearly how he did it; they only saw him wave his hand.

Master Cui froze on the spot.

"???" Lin Wanyue and Lin Ziqiu opened their mouths and looked back and forth between Hu Jiuyuan and Master Cui.

Finally, Lin Ziqiu noticed that it looked as if several fine silver needles, as thin as cow hair, were stuck in Master Cui's face, trembling slightly in the sunlight.

Hu Jiuyuan said smugly, "How about that? You still dare to compete with me now? My disciples should be under my guidance. Why should you be in charge of their enlightenment? My disciples should be my people. Having another teacher is completely unnecessary. They're just freeloaders."

"!!!" Master Cui now only has his eyeballs left, which can still move, but his whole body is completely immobile.

Master Cui couldn't even speak; he could only frantically roll his eyes.

They were cursing very fiercely.

Hu Jiuyuan waved his sleeve, turned his eyes away as if he hadn't seen anything, and casually took Lin Ziqiu away.

Lin Wanyue saw that the white-bearded old man actually had such methods, but she did not stop him.

Only after Hu Jiuyuan took the person away did she quietly and silently remove the silver needles from Master Cui.

After Hu Jiuyuan's silver needles were removed by Lin Wanyue, they disappeared in an instant, just like sunlight.

"Ugh, I'm so angry!" Master Cui jumped up and down in anger, cursing loudly in the direction they left: "That old geezer! They say a gentleman uses words, not fists! He... he's so old, yet he's still so disrespectful to his elders."

"He actually laid a hand on me and wouldn't even let me speak. How can someone like that be a good student? Ziqiu is such a well-behaved child. What if he corrupts him?"

Lin Wanyue: "Master Cui, don't be angry. Even if Fourth Brother is learning from Master Hu now, I will still give you the Hua Zi I promised."

Master Cui: "..."

Upon hearing this, he immediately gave him a look: "Is this Hua Zi's business? This is my student who was robbed! And by such despicable means! Such a person is so vile, shameless, and vile, how dare he steal my student! I'm furious!"

"Then... Hua Zi doesn't want it?" Lin Wanyue asked tentatively.

"Yes, of course I want it!" Master Cui rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to go and cause trouble for Hu Jiuyuan.

Lin Wanyue quickly stopped him. She didn't know much about Hu Jiuyuan, only that her father, Lin Weiming, said he was a famous doctor in the martial arts world with considerable skills.

But Dad wasn't exactly a gangster...

Lin Wanyue had serious doubts about her father's opinion.

On the contrary, they were somewhat inclined to believe the quirks that Little Pink Butterfly described.

If the skinny Master Cui really dared to challenge Hu Jiuyuan, whose silver needle skills were astonishing, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.

“Master Cui, you are a magnanimous man, you can forgive and forget. Master Hu has only just arrived, please let him have his way. I’ll give you two more packs of cigarettes today, and I’ll go to school with you today.” Lin Wanyue made a great sacrifice, even offering to go to school with Master Cui.

Master Cui reluctantly nodded and reached out to Lin Wanyue, saying, "Then bring Hua Zi here first."

Lin Wanyue: "..."

Lin Wanyue lost money on Hua Zi and herself before she finally managed to appease both sides temporarily.

…

The sound of washing clothes with a mallet was deafening outside. Little Pink Butterfly sat by the well, playing with a beautiful and delicate hairpin in her hand. Beside her was a large bucket of clothes that the Lin family had just washed.

But in the wooden tub, a sturdy wooden stick washed all the dirty clothes by itself.

It seems that after taming an axe, the little pink butterfly is now planning to take a stick for its own use.

When Little Pink Butterfly saw Master Cui walk out with an unfriendly expression, her smile only grew wider: "Hahaha, I never thought Master Hu would have such ability, taking you down in one go."

Seeing Cui Zhongjie get his comeuppance, Little Pink Butterfly felt a bit smug.

snort!

It's because this guy started criticizing her as soon as he arrived at the Lin family.

Now the tables have turned!

"Even if Master Hu is capable, it doesn't mean you are. He won't accept you as his apprentice!" Master Cui said fiercely to Little Pink Butterfly before taking Lin Wanyue to study.

Master Cui is currently teaching Lin Zheyun and Lin Zihan, who are just beginning their education; the content is not difficult.

It was easy for Lin Wanyue, at least. She only stayed on the stool obediently for half an hour before she couldn't stand it any longer.

While worrying about Lin Ziqiu, she was also concerned about whether someone would come to cause trouble if she wasn't watching over her own shop.

And then there are those who wait for their fortunes to be told.

I wonder how much gossip I'll miss today!

Lin Wanyue was itching to try it, so she perked up, quickly completed Master Cui's request, and then ran out openly.

She went to Lin Ziqiu's room first.

Even before I entered the corridor, I could hear a volatile voice coming from inside.
