Upon hearing Li Huan's words, Huang Rong was filled with sadness and anger, and cried even harder.
Guo Jing didn't know how to persuade Huang Rong anymore. He was so anxious that he scratched his head frantically, causing a lot of dandruff to fall out.
Li Huan really wanted to return to the real world immediately, buy a case of anti-dandruff and anti-itch shampoo, and give it to Guo Jing.
Seeing this, Hong Qigong comforted her, "Rong'er, don't cry. Losing to my old beggar's apprentice is not a shameful thing. What's wrong with washing and massaging Li Huan's feet? In time, you can learn even more superb cooking skills!"
Huang Rong wiped away her tears and said, "Who wants to learn cooking from him... Humph... Seventh Master is biased... Seventh Master is biased... Waaah..."
Li Huan burst out laughing.
As a seasoned single man, Hong Qigong wasn't good at comforting girls either.
Faced with Huang Rong's tearful complaints, Hong Qigong looked helpless and sighed repeatedly.
"Sigh...sigh...I'll also take Guo Jing as my disciple. That way I won't be biased, right?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong hurriedly asked, "Does Master Qi keep his word?"
Hong Qigong said, "Of course I mean it."
Huang Rong hurriedly said to Guo Jing, "Brother Jing, why don't you quickly become my disciple?"
Guo Jing then realized what was happening, quickly walked up to Hong Qigong, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed in respect.
Hong Qigong said, "Your aptitude is too poor and your mind is too dull. I shouldn't have taken you as my disciple, but considering your kind and honest character, I've decided to accept you as my student!"
"From now on, you must study and practice diligently, work harder, and strive to achieve something. You must not disgrace the name of this old beggar, nor allow the Beggars' Clan to be ridiculed by people in the martial arts world!"
After listening, Guo Jing respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes! Your disciple will certainly remember Master's teachings!"
At this moment, Huang Rong also came over and knelt down next to Guo Jing.
"Seventh Master, taking on two disciples is the same as taking on three. You can't just take on male disciples and not female disciples!"
Hong Qigong hurriedly waved his hand: "I, an old beggar, have already made an exception by accepting a disciple today. How can I accept another one? Besides, your father is very capable. How could he agree to let you become my disciple?"
Huang Rong deliberately asked, "Is Seventh Master afraid of my father?"
Before Hong Qigong could answer, Li Huan hurriedly said, "Master's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are invincible, he would never be afraid of a mere herbal medicine seller, Master Huang!"
Hong Qigong laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Huan'er, you don't know this, Rong'er's father, whose surname is Huang and given name is Yaoshi, is the island master of Peach Blossom Island. He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, and Qimen Dunjia. He is not a master who sells medicinal herbs!"
"I'm an old beggar who's always been afraid of no one! Today I'm making an exception and taking you, young girl, as my apprentice!"
Huang Rong was overjoyed and kowtowed in worship.
"Master, I'll make you some more delicious side dishes tonight!"
Hong Qigong said, "No need, we'll just have boxed lunches again tonight."
Huang Rong said, "Master, you'll get tired of eating boxed lunches all the time."
"I don't like hearing that!" Li Huan immediately retorted, "This is the first time Master has officially eaten a boxed lunch today, how could he be tired of it?"
"Besides, my boxed lunch has eight dishes, so even if I eat it for ten days in a row, I won't get tired of it!"
"As long as Master likes to eat, I can change the dishes eight times every three days, including staple food and soup!"
Hong Qigong's eyes lit up immediately: "Excellent! Very good! Update it every three days!"
Huang Rong hurriedly said, "Master, do you no longer want to eat the dishes I made?"
Hong Qigong laughed and said, "You just focus on helping Huan'er set up her stall to sell boxed lunches, and occasionally cook a few dishes yourself. Your master will be happy to taste them."
Huang Rong pouted and said, "Alright, Master, just tell me whenever you want to eat it."
Hong Qigong said to Guo Jing, "Jing'er, you should learn more from your senior brother and continue practicing 'The Dragon Regrets.' This old beggar should go back to the inn and get some sleep."
Guo Jing respectfully agreed, looking at Li Huan with expectant eyes.
Li Huan said, "Master, why don't you teach me a few more palm techniques today? I learn them quickly, and once I've mastered them, I can tutor Guo Jing, saving you the trouble of teaching him."
Hong Qigong nodded: "That's fine too."
Following that, Hong Qigong demonstrated and explained four palm techniques: "Flying Dragon in the Sky," "Dragon Appearing in the Field," "Hidden Dragon Do Not Use," and "Shocking the Hundred Miles."
Li Huan pretended to listen attentively and said with a smile, "I have memorized it well. Master, go back and rest."
Hong Qigong hummed a little tune as he returned to the inn.
Li Huan looked at Huang Rong: "Junior Sister, why aren't you leaving?"
Huang Rong said, "I'll stay and keep Brother Jing company."
Li Huan shook his head: "If you stay here, Guo Jing will definitely be distracted, and it will also affect my guidance to him."
Guo Jing chuckled: "With your guidance, Senior Brother, I'm sure I'll master the first move, 'The Dragon Regrets,' today!"
Originally, Huang Rong had a strong aversion to Li Huan.
But at this moment, Li Huan has transformed himself, becoming not only the senior disciple but also Guo Jing's tutor.
Therefore, Huang Rong's attitude changed.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I'll go pick some melons for you to eat."
Li Huan was overjoyed; the girl was teachable.
"Junior Sister!" Li Huan called out.
Huang Rong stopped and turned around to ask, "What is it?"
Li Huan quickly walked to the electric tricycle, took out a bucket and a rag from the cargo compartment, and handed them to Huang Rong.
"When you go to pick melons, take a bucket of river water with you and wipe the tricycle clean. Oh, and clean the table and stools too."
Huang Rong was astonished: "This... I have to do all the servants' work too?"
Li Huan's expression turned serious: "Isn't it normal and reasonable for you to help me set up a stall to sell boxed lunches and be responsible for wiping the car and tables and chairs?"
Huang Rong had no choice but to accept the bucket and rag.
