When she returned to her own courtyard, she saw two girls in white clothes with red trim standing at the door from afar. Xuanji stared at them for a long time and then remembered that they were the uniforms of the disciples of Yu Yang Hall.
It seems that Aunt Hong is really looking for her.
The two girls at the door, one tall and one short, smiled at her and said, “The new junior sister is here! Shifu1 has been waiting for you inside for a long time! Get in there!”
A new junior sister? She was confused.
When they saw that she was still dazed, they urged her, “Get in there! Don’t let Master wait too long, she is scary when she loses her temper.”
After thinking about it, she suddenly raised her head and smiled at them, saying softly, “Thank you, sister.”
When they saw how lovely and pitiful she was, their hearts were already softened and they were happy that Yuyang Hall would get more beautiful little sisters.
When Xuanji pushed the door in, she heard laughter coming from Aunt Hong, Father and Mother. She timidly poked her head in and saw that all three of them were there, with Zhong Mintan and Linglong sitting next to them.
Linglong was sharp-eyed and saw Xuanji hid in the doorway. She jumped up and shouted, “Sister is here! Why are you hiding there? Come on!”
After she finished talking, she ran over and drew her to the three adults affectionately. She smiled and said, “Aunt Shifu, my sister is here.”
Xuanji quietly called out, “Father, Mother, Aunt Hong.”
In the meantime, Chu Lei said, “Why are you so nonsensical, what kind of aunts are you?”
Xuanji was yelled at, and immediately hunched her shoulders and stopped speaking.
Chu Yinghong hastily smiled and said, “Brother, don’t blame her, but I asked Xuanji to call me Aunt Hong. I really treat her as my own niece.”
After saying that, she waved to Xuanji and said, “Come over here. I haven’t seen you for a few days. It seems to have grown taller.”
Xuanji was wrapped around her head and neck, and her whole body was buried in her arms, and she was so impressed that she almost waved her tail and meowed like a cat.
He Danping laughed, “When did you and my girl become so close, and I, as a mother, didn’t know?”
Chu Yinghong rubbed Xuanji’s long soft hair, and said softly,”I didn’t know she was such a good girl, so I couldn’t help but love her.”
When Linglong saw that Chu Yinghong was so intimate with Xuanji, she tugged on her sleeve and said, “What about me? Shifu, can I call you Auntie Hong too?”
Chu Yinghong was about to say something, but Chu Lei had already frowned and said: “One or two of you are so unruly, don’t make a fuss, there is business to be done today, sit down quietly.”
Linglong acted as a mouse sees a cat. She has no temper and sat back obediently.
Chu Lei cleared his throat and said in a low voice, “Xuanji, you are eleven years old, and you have wasted so many years on Shaoyang Peak without making any progress.”
XuanJi thought that so many of them had gathered here to reproach her, and immediately fell down, having no intention to show affection with Chu Ying Hong.
“Fortunately, your Aunt thinks that you are a good seedling.” Chu Lei changed his mind,
“Since you can’t learn anything at Shaoyang Peak, it must not be the right place for you, so why don’t you follow your master to Xiaoyang Peak and learn from her? From now on, don’t slack off again, understand?”
Not only was Xuanji stunned, but Zhong Minyan and Linglong were also startled.
“Father, are you driving my sister away?” Linglong was the first to scream, “I won’t do it! Why do you want her to leave Shaoyang Peak? If you want to rush, why don’t you drive me and my sister to Xiao Yang Peak together?”
“Nonsense!” Chu Lei turned pale and said sternly: “What are you going to do? They’re all disciples of the Shaoyang Sect! You shut up and sit down!”
Linglong was so angry that she was crying, and she tremblingly said, “Obviously, you want to separate my sister from us, even if I don’t say it. Xiaoyang Peak is so far away, it takes half a day to get there, I don’t know if I can see her in the future!”
He Danping sighed, “Linglong, cut the crap! This is a good thing, why are you crying and screaming? What a childish temper.”
Zhong Minyan also took Linglong’s hand and told her not to get excited, and she was finally persuaded to sit down again.
“Xuanji, would you like to go to Xiaoyang Peak with Aunt Hong?” Chu Yinghong touched Xuanji’s head and asked softly.
She was stunned for a moment before she said, “Yes, but… I don’t want to leave Linglong and Mi… and everyone else.”
Chu Yinghong smiled and said, “Silly girl, it’s not like we’ll never see each other again. If you want, you can come back to look for them every day.”
She thought seriously and finally nodded, “Okay, then I will go to Xiaoyang Peak with Aunt Hong.”
Chu Yinghong was afraid that she would be reluctant and prepared a lot of speeches, but she never thought that she would agree so readily, so she turned back to Chu Lei and said, “Master, after the Flower Hairpin Tournament, I will take Xuanji away.”
Chu Lei nodded, “Xuanji, since you’re going to go to the Xiaoyang Peak with your Shifu, you can’t be lazy anymore. She has officially accepted you as a disciple of Yuyang Hall, so you should call her Master.”
Xuanji was a little reluctant, but still called out in a low voice, “Master, Master.”
Chu Yinghong was so happy that she grabbed her hand and smiled like a bun.
He Danping laughed on the side and said, “It’s not enough just to call her master, you have to kowtow and serve tea to him. SIster, what do you think?”
Chu Yinghong said, “There’s no hurry, wait until we get to Yuyang Hall, then we’ll do the formal ceremony.”
She knew that a child like Xuanji had her own ideas and looked docile, but she mustn’t force her to do something she didn’t like. If the matter of apprenticeship disgusted her first, then even if she became a master, she would not be able to teach her well.
The three adults are all satisfied. Chu Lei and He Danping have been thinking about this lazy little girl, and are reluctant to punish her heavily. Chu Yinghong is so knowledgeable and talented that she believes she knows how to teach Xuanji, which is many times better than the two of them who are so rigid.
While she was rejoicing, she suddenly heard Linglong say, “Father, I want to go to Xiaoyang Peak too and learn from Shifu!”
Everyone was taken aback, especially Zhong Minyan, scratching his head in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
He Danping said, “This child is just fooling around, why does she have to go to Xiaoyang Peak?”
Linglong said anxiously, “Why did the younger sister go! I don’t care, I don’t want to be separated from my sister! I have to go where she goes!”
Chu Lei with a sullen face and snapped, “Don’t talk nonsense! I’ve been so busy with the Flower Hairpin Tournament these past few days that I didn’t have time to see how your sword strokes were going, but you have the energy to be a nuisance here! Next time, if you don’t get your homework right, you’ll have to go to your room and face the wall, or you won’t be allowed to come out.”
Linglong cried out with a loud voice, stamping her feet and yelling, “Daddy is biased! “Dad’s a bad guy!” After roaring, she ran out. Zhong Minyan couldn’t chase because of Master’s presence. wanting to chase, so anxious that his chest will burn.
When Chu Lei saw that He Danping was distressed, he said, “Don’t worry about her! It’s too much. She’s too spoiled! Let’s talk about it in a few days when she cools down.”
He Danping, seeing her husband’s words, has no choice but to let it go.
On a sunny afternoon, two days before the Flower Hairpin Tournament, Xuanji became Chu
Yinghong’s disciple and ended her carefree days on Shaoyang Peak.
Of course, this is a story for later, so we won’t mention it for the time being.
