At this time, Master Duan scolded with a smile, "Old man, stop pretending. If you really wanted to break his legs, you wouldn't have waited for us to come."
Master Qi naturally couldn't admit it, otherwise the whole play would be in vain, so he hummed and said, "I didn't have time."
"Come on, when I saw Xiao Xiao standing in the sun as punishment, I knew you were going to do this." Liu Gang couldn't help but retorted directly.
"That's right, we don't know you well enough?" The remaining masters echoed.
Xiao Jianping was standing in the sun. Who wouldn't go up to him and ask him a question if they saw him?
After learning the whole story, based on their understanding of Master Qi, they knew that this would definitely happen.
Being squeezed by the crowd, Master Qi became a little anxious and quickly defended himself, "I really wanted to break his legs, but I was just giving you face. Otherwise, from now on, he is no longer my apprentice. Do you believe me now?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jianping was stunned.
This is not in the script.
He wanted to ask, but was afraid of disrupting Master Qi's plan, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
At this time, Liu Gang and the others all had a half-smile on their faces, just looking at Master Qi without saying a word.
As for the apprentices, they didn't even have the right to speak and could only watch the scene quietly.
Master Qi looked at everyone anxiously, as if he was expecting something.
For a moment, the scene became eerily quiet.
After a while, no one said anything. Li Xu shook his head and said, "Master Qi, we believe it. You should take back what you just said."
A person who is expelled from the sect will not gain a good reputation in this era.
It will even make Xiao Jianping and even the Xiao family unable to hold their heads up.
The consequences are too serious.
Moreover, he knew that Master Qi had no intention of expelling Xiao Jianping from the sect, but he said that because he was being bullied too much.
But he didn't expect that Liu Gang and others didn't even try to persuade him, so he was very anxious.
Seeing that time has been dragged on long enough, and since no one else is willing to say anything, he has to speak up.
As soon as the words fell, Master Qi quickly responded, "Okay, this time I'll give Xiao Li face and take back what I just said."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several old masters darkened instantly, and they said dissatisfiedly, "Xiao Li, you are really impatient."
"That's right, you should just keep quiet like us and see what this old man does."
Li Xu knew they would definitely give Master Qi a way out, so he just wanted to cure his stubbornness, so he said jokingly, "That's almost it. We'll be off work in two minutes, and I'm still waiting to go home."
Master Qi glared at them and said, "You old guys are too evil. Xiao Li is the real deal."
"You are just a stubborn person. Everyone can see what's going on. Why don't you just admit it directly? Why do you have to make trouble?" Liu Gang said unhappily.
Xiao Jianping agreed with these words and felt that his master was really looking for trouble.
Not only did he get beaten up, but he was also scared.
Seeing Master Qi and the others bickering, Li Xu didn't join in. Instead, he walked over to Xiao Jianping and whispered, "If you have a chance, find someone to repair that drum. Otherwise, if your master ever remembers it, you'll be in trouble."
"I know." Xiao Jianping responded, then asked with a shameless face, "Old Li, can you ride your bike to take me home later?"
Li Xu was stunned. "Can't you walk?"
"It's no use now. Both legs are useless."
Li Xu's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, "Your master wasn't just acting when he attacked you?"
"No, I can't even lift my legs now."
Seeing that he was a little unconvinced, Xiao Jianping wanted to demonstrate it on the spot. He just took a step and he grimaced in pain and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Li Xu quickly supported him and said, "Okay, Lao Su and I will carry you over later."
Xiao Jianping naturally had no objection.
As soon as it was time to get off work, the car team immediately dispersed.
After Li Xu got the things, he and Su Weidong supported Xiao Jianping on both sides and walked towards where the bicycles were parked.
But even so, Xiao Jianping was still in so much pain that he started sweating.
Su Weidong couldn't help but persuade him, "Old Xiao, why don't you take two days off and rest at home?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. If I can still move, I'll come to work. If I can't, I'll take a leave of absence."
"Okay." Su Weidong pursed his lips. "It's important to say that Master Qi was really ruthless."
"I deserve this beating. As long as it doesn't break my legs, it doesn't matter how hard it is."
This sentence is definitely Xiao Jianping's true thoughts.
Compared to the harsh words Master Qi said before, this beating was nothing.
Besides, he broke someone's family heirloom, so it was considered merciful that he didn't beat him half to death.
Li Xu echoed, "Old Xiao is right. Getting beaten up is nothing."
Su Weidong nodded and said no more.
In this way, the three of them struggled to get to the parking shed. Du Hong was already waiting there. Seeing Xiao Jianping's appearance, she hurried forward to ask.
While they were talking, Li Xu pushed the car out and said, "Xiaohong, Lao Xiao can't walk now. I'll take him back first and then come to pick you up. Go to the gate and chat with Uncle Xu."
Du Hong hesitated, "How about I walk back?"
"Old Xiao's house isn't far away. I'll be back soon."
Hearing this, Du Hong no longer insisted. She and Su Weidong helped Xiao Jianping into the car, and then the two of them walked towards the entrance of the unit together.
After sending Xiao Jianping home, Li Xu returned to the unit to pick up Du Hong.
He parked the car next to her and asked with amusement, "What are you two talking about? I can hear your laughter from far away."
"Talking about your daughter."
"Oh, you know what, I haven't seen her for two weeks, I really miss her."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Uncle Xu's face disappeared instantly, and he said unhappily, "How dare you say that? I'm telling you, you two must come to my house in the next two days."
Ever since she adopted Xu Fuyou as her goddaughter, Du Hong has always wanted Li Xu to take her to see him.
Li Xu had no choice but to agree.
Unexpectedly, Du Hong fell in love with the little guy after just one look.
Later, Li Xu had to take her with him every time he went.
After a few interactions, Du Hong became quite familiar with everyone in the Xu family, which was why Li Xu asked her to come over and chat with Uncle Xu just now.
Before Li Xu could answer, Du Hong explained, "Uncle Xu, as you know, my brother is getting married soon. My family has been busy with this recently, and we are both helping out, so we haven't been able to go. But don't worry, after we finish our work in the next two days, Xiao Xu and I will go see the little guy."
