Xiao Bao was also watching Youyi intently, his meaning couldn't be clearer.
You Yi looked at Leng Xiyue again with a helpless expression: "Alright, I didn't want to take on any more disciples, but I see that you are calm, agile, and in good health. Plus, it's fate that we met, so I'll take you as my disciple!"
Both Bai Yatou and Xiao Bao hoped that he could take this child as his apprentice, and he couldn't argue with them. Especially Xiao Bao, when he saw his eyes, he couldn't help but want to obey him.
He loves his own apprentice dearly, but having taken in this little girl, he wonders if it will affect Xiao Bao's enthusiasm for learning martial arts. He doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!
When Leng Xiyue heard that You Yi was willing to take her as his disciple, she was overjoyed and immediately bowed to You Yi again: "Thank you, Master. Your disciple greets you, Master!"
Everyone was amused by Leng Xiyue, and Bai Fuya helped Leng Xiyue up: "Becoming an apprentice is not that simple."
Before Leng Xiyue could understand what was going on, Bai Fuya told Granny Shang to prepare tea.
Soon, Granny Shang brought over teacups and a futon.
"Master, please accept my three bows." Leng Xiyue knelt down and formally bowed three times to You Yi, then respectfully offered him tea: "Please have some tea, Master!"
"Good girl!" Youyi looked at Leng Xiyue affectionately before taking the teacup from her and taking a sip.
And you know what? The tea that the little girl served seemed unusually sweet.
Now he can be considered to have both a son and a daughter!
With his two apprentices, Xiaobao and Xiaoyueyue, his life can be considered complete.
When he gets back, he'll have to brag to Pei Luo and Dao Yi, he has to let them all know how adorable the little girl he's taken as his apprentice is!
You Yi thought about this and that, and suddenly remembered the apprenticeship gift. He looked at Leng Xiyue shyly and said, "Well, things happened so suddenly, and I don't have anything good to give you as an apprenticeship gift. How about I make it up to you later?"
All he had on him were various kinds of poisons, which were really not presentable as a gift!
Before Leng Xiyue could speak, Xiao Bao stepped forward and took half of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant from his neck and hung it around Leng Xiyue's neck.
Leng Xiyue stared blankly at Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao felt uncomfortable under their gaze and awkwardly explained, "It's a gift from my master for my apprenticeship!"
Upon hearing that Xiao Bao had given him the apprenticeship gift on his behalf, You Yi immediately exclaimed happily, "Yes, yes, my disciple is rich, so what he gives is what I give!"
Bai Fuya gave You Yi a speechless, reproachful look.
What's wrong with this guy? He can't even afford a proper apprenticeship gift.
They probably spent all their money on lavish eating and drinking!
As Bai Fuya spoke, she glanced at her little grandson with a hint of worry.
This little treasure's thoughts are probably something even he himself doesn't understand! If Xiaoyue'er were a normal six or seven-year-old girl, she would be happy to see it happen, but she's not!
Little Yue'er probably won't like her grandson, and the boy's love life is destined to be bumpy in the future.
"Thank you!" Leng Xiyue hadn't expected that Xiao Bao would give a gift on behalf of his master when he became a disciple.
She hadn't wanted to accept it, but looking into the child's pure eyes, she really couldn't refuse.
You Yi immediately smiled and explained to Leng Xiyue, "This is your senior brother, Xuan Yuanxi, nicknamed Xiaobao. He's six years old this year. How old are you?"
Youyi felt sorry for his disciple, and he also secretly helped Xiaobao to find out more.
“I am five and a half years old. I have met you, senior brother.” Leng Xiyue also kowtowed to Xiao Bao.
No matter how young the child is, he is her savior, and he deserves this debt.
Xiao Bao was surprised that Leng Xiyue kowtowed to him and felt embarrassed: "I'm just your senior brother, you don't need to kowtow to me."
As Xiao Bao spoke, he stepped forward and helped Leng Xiyue up.
"Alright, you've finished your apprenticeship. What are your plans for the future?" Bai Fuya asked Leng Xiyue.
Youyi and Xiaobao exchanged a strange look.
Here we go again. Why is Bai Yatou's attitude towards Xiao Yueyue so strange today?
Even Xiao Bao sensed it, his gaze towards Bai Fuya and Leng Xiyue filled with inquiry.
Leng Xiyue remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Now that officials and bandits are colluding, there is still more to the story behind the deaths of my mother and father. I don't want to go to the authorities anymore. I want to follow my master to learn martial arts properly so that I can find those murderers myself and avenge my mother and father!"
Bai Fuya nodded silently, then looked at Youyi.
You Yi looked speechless: "Why are you looking at me? I will definitely support Yueyue's decision. If she wants to learn martial arts, I will teach her. It's the same whether I teach one or two!"
He also felt that the officialdom in Xiliang was corrupt, and he definitely couldn't report it to the authorities anymore, otherwise they would only be asking for trouble.
Otherwise, they would have to go directly to the capital of Western Liang and let the Empress of Western Liang make decisions for them. In that case, the officials under Western Liang would not be able to pull any tricks.
Bai Fuya originally intended to take Leng Xiyue directly to the capital of Xiliang and ask Duanmu Junyu to help investigate the case. She believed that as long as Duanmu Junyu took action, she would definitely be able to help the girl avenge her family.
However, she is not a real child after all; she has her own thoughts. Since she wants to learn martial arts to take revenge herself, then she should not interfere in this matter.
Finally, Bai Fuya nodded in agreement: "Since you've made your decision, we all support you."
As Bai Fuya spoke, she glanced at the small courtyard where she had lived for half a year and sighed reluctantly, "It seems it's time for us to go somewhere else and explore."
Along the way, she and Xiaobao traveled around, and Granny Shang would stop and go, staying for a few months wherever she found a place she liked and felt comfortable.
She had originally planted a whole yard of peonies and wasn't planning to move them, but now that she had taken in this girl and was carrying such a heavy burden, she had no choice but to move them to prevent the soldiers and assassins from finding this place.
Youyi and Xiaobao nodded as well.
There are probably countless people in Xiangning Prefecture of Xiliang who want to kill this little girl. They'd better hide somewhere else for safety.
Leng Xiyue realized they wanted to help her move, and felt a little ashamed. After a moment of silence, she said, "I have another matter I would like to ask Master for help with."
"you say."
Leng Xiyue took a deep breath and said, "I would like to ask Master to go to the mortuary again and steal the bodies of my mother and father."
Youyi quickly understood Leng Xiyue's meaning: "Are you worried that they won't give your parents a proper burial?"
Leng Xiyue's gaze was cold and deep: "They are not worthy to bury my mother and father. I want to bury them myself!"
If she had a way, she would like to steal all the corpses of her family members, but it is clear that her master alone cannot do it now.
Youyi nodded: "Okay, I'll go steal it!"
It's better to steal it out. If I bury it myself, then this girl will have a place to pay her respects in the future. If I let those people bury her, I'm afraid she won't even know where she'll be buried!
