Huo Hongying's fainting scared Huo Yi.
Qing Wu waved her hand calmly, asked him to help Huo Hongying to the chair, and then asked the servants to bring food over.
"No, I just felt a bit shocked, mainly because I fainted from hunger."
Huo Yi: “…”
General Huo had seen big scenes before, but this time he was a little overwhelmed, but he looked calm.
Just then, Mu Ying came over with Wang Yulang.
The moment Huo Yi saw Mu Ying, his body froze. His gaze stayed on Mu Ying for a few breaths before he looked away. Everything seemed normal to him, but a closer look revealed that his breathing had become lighter.
Only Huo Yi knew how flustered he was. He was leading the troops on the scene and had handsome features, but his skin was tanned. If it wasn't tanned enough, everyone would have been able to see how red his face was.
Mu Ying and Wang Yulang came in and greeted each other. Seeing Huo Hongying fainted, she couldn't help but worry: "What happened to Miss Huo?"
Qing Wu smiled and said, "She forgot to raise chickens and fainted from hunger these days."
When Mu Ying saw the little fox lying on Qingwu's shoulder with its tail raised, he suddenly understood and was in a dilemma.
As they were talking, Hongrui came in quickly with food. It was freshly made meat patties. The dizzy Huo Hongying smelled the meat, her nostrils twitched twice, and she opened her eyes quickly.
That look was like that of a hungry wolf, and Hongrui was frightened by her.
Huo Hongying pounced over, grabbed the meat pie and stuffed it into her mouth. She ate it so fast that she choked and her eyes rolled back.
Mu Ying quickly poured her some tea and rubbed her back.
Huo Hongying punched herself hard in the chest twice, swallowed the biscuit, took another big bite, and sighed as she ate: "I didn't die of hunger or fear, but I almost choked to death..."
Huo Yi really couldn't bear to look at his sister, his eyes moved uncontrollably to the man stroking Huo Hongying's back. He couldn't move his gaze away, and suddenly met his sister's teasing gaze.
Huo Yi glared at her fiercely, then hastily looked away and fixed his gaze on Wang Yulang, sizing up the child carefully.
The little girl looked like Mu Ying. She was well-behaved and pretty, with a pair of clear eyes. However, her skin was too pale, as if she had not been exposed to the sun for a long time. She looked very thin and frail.
After Huo Yi learned the truth about being a puppet, he only hated that Wang Sheng died so easily, but he hated himself even more. If he could be more careful, Mu Ying would not have suffered so much.
Huo Yi hated Wang Sheng, but he would not take his anger out on a child.
"Brother, why are you standing there like an idiot?" Huo Hongying was anxious when she saw her elder brother was like a wooden man again. She didn't even bother to eat her cake. She took Mu Ying's hand and said, "Sister Mu Ying, my elder brother is here today to accept a disciple."
Mu Ying was stunned. Qing Wu and Huo Hongying had previously told him that General Huo would be Xiao Yulang's martial arts instructor, but she had not taken it seriously and had not told Xiao Yulang about it.
Mainly because of Huo Yi's status, he has no worries about not being able to accept an apprentice. She doesn't think her own child is bad, but she just feels that it's a bit abrupt.
Mu Ying subconsciously looked at Huo Yi, and Xiao Yulang also looked surprised.
Huo Yi nodded slightly: "I would like to accept Yu Lang as my apprentice, I wonder if Madam is willing?"
"This..." Mu Ying's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The ridiculous guess from before came to her mind again, but she extinguished it in an instant.
Seeing that Huo Yi looked calm and didn't seem to have any thoughts about her, she breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.
Mu Ying said calmly, "It is my son's honor to be accepted as a disciple of General Huo, but this is so sudden, I'm sorry, but may I ask why?"
Mu Ying felt that Huo Yi was probably not doing it willingly, perhaps because of Xiao Chenyan's face or because of Huo Hongying's entanglement when she returned.
It would be good for the child to become Huo Yi's disciple, but Mu Ying didn't want to force it.
Huo Yi's eyes were calm: "I do have selfish motives in accepting disciples, but it is all voluntary and no one is forcing me. Please rest assured, Madam Mu."
Obviously, Huo Yi also saw Mu Ying's worries.
Mu Ying calmed down a little. Although she was still suspicious, it was about her child's future after all. She pondered and said, "This may be a little too much. I am willing to do it, but becoming your disciple is a big deal. Yulang must be willing to do it."
At this point, the relationship between master and disciple is no less than that between father and son. Wang Yulang is no small matter after becoming Huo Yi's disciple.
Moreover, Mu Ying was aware of the troubles she and her children were facing, and she was always a little uneasy.
Huo Yi looked at the children in the hall. The little guy was also surprised when he heard about accepting a disciple. Then he looked at Huo Yi seriously, with the maturity of a little adult.
The look was not offensive, Huo Yi could feel that the child was also thinking.
"Do you want to learn martial arts?" Huo Yi looked at the child.
Xiao Yulang nodded: "Yes." He wanted to become stronger so that he could protect his mother.
"Would you like to be my disciple?"
Wang Yulang thought seriously, his lovely face was focused, and his voice, though still childish, had already shown character: "It is my honor to be a disciple of the general. I also want to become stronger, to hold up the sky and protect my mother and myself."
"But I'm in trouble. If I become a disciple of anyone, I'll cause trouble for them."
"A lot of trouble."
Wang Yulang's words made Mu Ying's eyes warm. Huo Yi was also a little surprised at the child's maturity and precocity, and his eyes softened.
"There won't be any trouble." Huo Yi was not good at speaking. He just said to the child seriously: "I will do my best to teach you martial arts. As an adult, you just need to make progress and work hard to become strong enough to protect the people you want to protect."
Mu Ying was stunned and looked at Huo Yi in confusion.
Wang Yulang's eyes lit up, he took a deep breath, and knelt heavily on the ground: "I would like to take General Huo as my teacher."
Huo Yi's serious face revealed a faint smile, and he turned to Xiao Chenyan and said, "I want to borrow the prince's place for a while."
There was also a smile in Xiao Chenyan's eyes: "The palace is honored."
Qing Wu also smiled: "Bring the best tea in the mansion."
The palace was filled with joy. Wang Yulang served tea to Huo Yi, kowtowed to him, and performed the ceremony of becoming his disciple.
Huo Yi took out a dagger on the spot and handed it to Wang Yulang. The dagger was a little too short for an adult, but it was just right for a child.
"This is the iron blade I snatched from the Huns when I first went to the battlefield. It is my first war trophy. I am giving it to you today. I hope you can keep the blade in your safe place and be alert and vigilant."
"Thank you, Master!" Wang Yulang took it with both hands and kowtowed heavily.
Looking at his red forehead, Huo Yi raised his hand to rub it and said, "Good boy."
"Yulang is my first disciple. I will choose a good day in a few days and hold a banquet at the Huo Mansion. I will also let everyone know that he is my disciple."
Mu Ying was stunned by Huo Yi's words.
Qing Wu was not surprised.
A real man does it openly.
Huo Hongying was so excited that she rushed over, picked up Wang Yulang and swung him in circles: "Hahaha! From now on I have a little nephew, Xiao Yulang, call me aunt quickly and let me hear it~"
In fact, she wanted to listen to Xiao Yulang's aunt more, but she couldn't be too hasty.
After becoming disciples, Huo Yi and Huo Hongying stayed at Prince Li's mansion for dinner before leaving.
From then on, Xiao Yulang would still go out to the night temple at night, go to the Huo Mansion to practice martial arts in the morning, and come back to study after noon.
Even after the Huo siblings left, Mu Ying was still a little dazed. She just looked at Xiao Yulang's happy face, and her doubts and worries were still buried deep in her heart.
"Don't worry." Qing Wu smiled and said, "There are many laws of fate in the world. If fate comes, it should be accepted. The Wang family's fate is gone, and Xiao Yulang has already run forward. You should also look forward."
Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, then sighed and laughed, "I just don't understand."
"Then let's wait for the day when the answer reveals itself." Qing Wu smiled, raised her hand and brushed Mu Ying's brows, as if brushing away dark clouds.
Her voice was unusually gentle: "Sister Ying, don't miss it again."
Mu Ying looked at her absentmindedly.
At this moment, she really saw the shadow of an old friend in Qingwu.
So, is it really you?
Qingwu's cousin.
