Tiger, who was still pestering Jiao Bai to teach him kung fu, did not sense anything amiss.
Jiao Bai has become increasingly attentive to this apprentice he acquired for free. When he has free time, he will come to Xiaotun to give Hu Zi some pointers.
In his words, Tiger has a certain talent for kung fu.
Moreover, this kid is extremely hardworking and diligent. Whenever he has free time, he goes off to practice various basic skills.
Tiger now is on a completely different level in terms of fighting ability compared to a few months ago.
Despite being only sixteen or seventeen years old and not very tall like Jiao Bai, he didn't seem like a threat.
However, if it really came down to a fight, two or three adults might not be a match for him.
Of course, compared to Jiao Bai, he still has a very large gap. Jiao Bai has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and it has been more than ten years now. In addition, his talent is extraordinary. It will not be easy for Hu Zi to catch up with him.
However, Tiger was not discouraged by this; it's not shameful for an apprentice to be worse than his master.
As long as I can beat others, that's enough.
However, although Hu Zi didn't notice, Xiao Jian did notice his older brother's gaze.
When his older brother's eyes darted back and forth between Hu Zi and Xiao Mengjie, Xiao Jian understood what his older brother was thinking.
"Brother, have some water."
Xiao Jian pushed the water that Xiao Mengjie had poured towards Xiao Weiguo.
"Tiger's kung fu is amazing now. Last time, three young men from another village harassed Mengjie, and Tiger took them down all by himself. I didn't even have a chance to make a move."
Hearing his younger brother's words, Xiao Weiguo became interested.
"Really? Is that so?"
Before Xiao Jian could answer, Xiao Mengjie took the initiative to continue the conversation.
"Brother, it's true. Last time I was washing clothes by the South River, some young men from other villages deliberately threw stones into the river and splashed me with water."
"Tiger saw it, and he immediately waded across the river and beat those three people to a pulp."
"I was worried that Tiger wouldn't be able to beat them, but it didn't take long for those guys to fall to the ground. Tiger's kicks were really cool."
As if afraid that Xiao Weiguo wouldn't believe her, she added.
"If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Jian; he was there too."
The little girl beamed with excitement as she spoke of it.
The eyes that looked at Hu Zi were also filled with a kind of proud gleam.
Tiger heard Xiao Mengjie praising him, turned around and grinned at her, but didn't say anything.
Xiao Weiguo saw his younger brother, Xiao Jian, pick up a cup, take a sip of water, and lower his head with a strange smile on his face.
Xiao Weiguo suddenly understood many things.
It seems that this is actually a pretty good result. Or rather, a good choice.
"Burned white."
He turned around and called out to Jiao Bai.
"Come, let me talk to you about something."
Jiao Bai finished chatting with Hu Zi, walked quickly over to him, and plopped down on another small stool.
"Brother, what's there to discuss with me? Just tell me what's wrong."
For a year, Jiao Bai has been with Xiao Weiguo, and except for sleeping together, they are almost inseparable 24 hours a day.
Xiao Weiguo kept his promise and always treated him like a younger brother, never considering him an outsider.
In terms of salary, although he did not have any shares in the company, he still received five thousand a month from the finance department alone.
Xiao Weiguo never argued with him about money in private.
When it comes to holidays or business trips, Xiao Weiguo would easily spend tens of thousands of yuan.
In an era when even households with ten thousand yuan are rare, Jiao Bai is definitely a small-time tycoon.
Of course, the burnt white color is definitely worth the price.
Over the past year, he has helped Xiao Weiguo solve countless problems. With his excellent martial arts skills, he has become Xiao Weiguo's last and safest line of defense.
What's most commendable is that Jiao Bai knows when to advance and when to retreat, knowing when to appear and when to disappear—a fundamental quality of a bodyguard.
Xiao Weiguo waited for him to sit down, then tilted his head and asked him a question.
"Jiao Bai, do you feel that Hu Zi now meets your criteria for taking on a disciple?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the group immediately perked up their ears. Tiger's face showed an eager expression, his eyes fixed intently on Jiao Bai.
Ever since Hu Zi said he wanted to be Jiao Bai's apprentice, Jiao Bai has never agreed.
He said that when Jiao Bai accepted apprentices, he considered both talent and fate.
Like Hu Zi, Xiao Weiguo didn't understand what he meant by fate.
This isn't like dating; does it require a hundred years of cultivation to share a pillow? So Jiao Bai refused, and no one could do anything about it.
However, although the two are not officially master and disciple, they are already in a master-disciple relationship.
Since agreeing to observe Hu Zi for a while longer, Jiao Bai has been very attentive to his martial arts. When Xiao Weiguo isn't busy, he'll take the time to come over and give Hu Zi some pointers.
Xiao Weiguo had seen all of this. That's why he brought up this question with Jiao Bai now.
Tiger has never been to school and can't read a single character, so it would be extremely difficult for him to make a name for himself in any other way. However, having a renowned teacher like Jiao Bai as a mentor would be a way out for Tiger.
With his excellent martial arts skills, whether he works as a bodyguard like Jiao Bai, participates in martial arts competitions, or even if Hu Zi really makes a name for himself one day, Xiao Weiguo wouldn't mind opening a martial arts school for him.
