Yu Yuehua glared at him and ignored him. She was helpless with her silly younger brother and really didn't know what he was thinking every day!
It really proved his mother right: his second uncle had taken all the cleverness from the family, which is why his younger brother was so incredibly simple-minded. This simpleton is already thinking about finding a partner, and Yu Yuehua is worried for him! With that kind of simple-mindedness, what will he do after he gets married?!
Yu Yuehe had no idea that his older brother was worried about him. When he saw Wu Dali coming out of the toilet, he opened his eyes wide and ran over to him with great enthusiasm.
He's very interested in Shanghai now, especially the sea. He's been longing to see it and fantasizing about how wonderful it would be to catch a glimpse of it.
The mere thought of a place without towering mountains, only a vast, boundless sea, filled him with immense excitement. His limited understanding prevented him from truly imagining what a breathtaking sight it would be; his heart was filled with longing for the ocean, and he yearned to learn more about it.
When something interests him, Yu Yuehe's mind works faster than a windmill; he's incredibly clever. In no time, he had Wu Dali completely bewildered, almost to the point of pulling out his underwear.
The seaside is a dangerous place, so how could Wu Dali's family feel at ease letting him go there so often? This resulted in him going to the seaside very rarely, and knowing even less about it.
But Yu Yuehe was as stubborn as a mule, completely oblivious to his mood, and kept asking questions relentlessly. In the end, Wu Dali couldn't handle it anymore. He not only poured out everything he knew and had heard about the seaside, but when he had no other choice, he even made up some things to deal with the situation.
He thought he could finally get his job done, but to his surprise, this didn't calm Yu Yuehe down at all. Instead, it was like pouring oil on a fire, completely igniting his curiosity and making him even more interested.
Yu Yuehe's usually rusty brain suddenly became sharp, and he began to draw inferences from one instance to another, throwing out a bunch of novel questions about the sea, which stumped Wu Dali.
He just wanted to brag and show off his extensive knowledge, but he never expected to stumble and crash here.
Time flies, and it was already afternoon.
As soon as the school bell rang, Xie Yan didn't even bother waiting for Liu Yihong and ran straight home.
The students were used to Mr. Xie's calm, composed, and gentle demeanor. Seeing him so flustered and anxious, they were filled with worry and hurriedly ran to ask Liu Yihong, "Mr. Liu, has something happened to Mr. Xie's family?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yihong was momentarily stunned, then found himself both amused and exasperated. He thought to himself that Xie Yan was already such a grown man, yet he still acted so rashly and lacked any composure whatsoever.
But seeing the worried looks on the students' faces, he quickly smiled and reassured them, "It's alright! Everything is fine at Teacher Xie's home. He just ate too little at noon and was hungry, so he left in a hurry. Don't worry, everyone, hurry home."
"You should also take this as a warning. You must eat a full meal at noon from now on, otherwise you will end up like your teacher Xie, starving in the afternoon."
When the little kids heard that it was just because they were hungry, they breathed a sigh of relief. As for what the teacher said next, they pretended not to hear it and ran off in a flurry.
Liu Yihong: "!"
He was truly at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated. These kids were something else! They really took the art of using people only when needed and discarding them when not needed to the extreme!
Xie Yan, who had already walked away, was unaware of the lawsuit between his student and Liu Yihong.
The afternoon was the main event of the apprenticeship ceremony, and Xie Yan just wanted to get back as soon as possible. As soon as he stepped into his house, Gu Che was already there.
Gu Che's outfit today was particularly eye-catching. He wore a modified white shirt with a perfectly loose cut, paired with loose trousers in the same color scheme. In this simple countryside, this outfit made him stand out like a crane among chickens, shining brightly.
This all-white outfit is absolutely unique in the countryside; it's truly eye-catching, especially the pants. Honestly, Xie Yan has never seen anyone dare to wear white pants in the countryside before.
Her eye-catching outfit immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
The moment Xie Yan entered the room, he keenly noticed the gazes of everyone, which seemed to drift towards Gu Che frequently, though some were quite blatant, such as the simple-minded Wu Dali, who seemed completely oblivious to Gu Che's unusual nature.
That arrogant, scrutinizing gaze, coupled with his occasional head-shaking gestures, really showed he was fearless! If it weren't for the fact that today was the day Gu Che was accepting disciples, I'm sure this guy wouldn't be able to walk out here so easily.
But Gu Che was no ordinary person. Faced with so many stares, he remained calm and composed, as if these scrutinizing or admiring gazes were nothing but fleeting clouds, giving the impression that they were all just ordinary mortals.
He sat there with an upright posture, exuding an extraordinary and refined aura, truly embodying the demeanor of a superior person.
Xie Yan was truly in awe! He thought to himself, "The boss is indeed a boss! He's completely outmatched me from every angle."
Someone as spineless as him would get nervous just giving a speech on stage, let alone with so many people watching! It's amazing that he can remain so calm.
Before long, the carefully chosen time for the apprenticeship ceremony arrived. This was an auspicious time, calculated specifically for this occasion: five o'clock sharp, the beginning of the Shen hour. Gu Che deliberately chose this time because, in traditional beliefs, the Shen hour symbolizes the balance of Yin and Yang and the most stable energy field. Holding the apprenticeship ceremony at this moment signifies that the master-disciple relationship will be long-lasting and stable, and the transmission of skills will be smooth and unimpeded.
Gu Che sat solemnly on the high seat. Yu Yuehui steadily picked up the tea that had been brewed beforehand, knelt respectfully on both knees with a devout expression, raised the tea above her head, and offered it to Gu Che, her voice clear and firm: "Master, have some tea!"
Gu Che gazed at his prized disciple before him, a surge of excitement welling up within him as he realized they would now be legitimate master and disciple. His fingers trembled slightly, and a smile of contentment spread across his face. He gently accepted the tea, took a small sip, and then tenderly helped Yu Yuehui to her feet. He then retrieved a brand-new set of clothes from his bag. The style of the clothes was identical to the one Gu Che wore, only in a deep black.
This fabric was carefully selected by Gu Che during a special trip to the commune, and then personally sewn stitch by stitch. It also features the flag pattern of their Gu family army, but it's a subtle pattern that's difficult for the average person to see.
He never thought he would take on an apprentice in this life, at least not at the moment. But Yu Yuehui was just too much to his liking. In his heart, if he could have such an apprentice to inherit his skills and wear this outfit, he would have no regrets.
