Chapter 151: 112?Senior Disciple Wan Xiaolou_2
As soon as the young girl's Qi Force dispersed, all the guests turned their heads to look, and the restaurant suddenly became quiet, everyone's expression changed upon seeing the purple auspicious cloud on the right shoulder of the girl's Taoist robe.
The middle-aged man who was about to strike Wan Xiaolou was no exception. His expression changed several times. He didn't dare say anything and immediately left with another person beside him.
Wan Xiaolou's face showed a trace of gratitude. He walked up to the Taoist robe girl with Wan XiaoJin and three others, bowed deeply, and said, "Wan Xiaolou thanks the fairy sister for saving my life. Should I achieve something in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness like a spring that keeps flowing!"
The slap from that middle-aged man could have cost me half my life, and even if it didn't kill me, I might have been crippled for life.
He had come here to find a master to learn from. If he were crippled, that would have ended his aspirations. Zhao Qingxue not only saved his life but also his future prospects. His gratitude was indeed from the bottom of his heart.
"It's nothing, just a small effort."
As a Body Opening second level martial artist's gratitude, Zhao Qingxue naturally wouldn't take it to heart, and waved her hand gently to the group.
Seeing that Wan Xiaolou and his group were always watching each other's lips when speaking, pity arose in her heart. She knew just by looking that all five children were deaf.
The Ziqing Holy Sect in Jiaozhou had adopted a large number of congenitally disabled children abandoned by their parents. She was sent to Jiaozhou by her family when she was young, grew up in the Holy Sect, and often spent time with these disabled people, seeing them as her own family.
Thus, seeing Wan Xiaolou sparked a special feeling in her heart, prompting her to intervene and help them out of their predicament.
"Unfortunately, this is Xuzhou, with its remote mountains and long roads. Had you been in Jiaozhou, perhaps I could have helped you more. People who come to dine here are mostly from the martial world, with volatile tempers and fierce actions. You five should come here less often and leave quickly!"
Noticing the group, Zhao Qingxue almost again let her kindness get the better of her, but a Sect Member disciple reminded her from behind. Recalling that she was also out with her master, she urged them to avoid such places.
Seeing such a kind person, Wan Xiaolou was even more moved. After pondering for a moment, he nodded to Zhao Qingxue and said, "Fairy sister, I came here to find my master, who said he would be waiting here for me. I don't know why..."
"Disciple, your teacher is late...
Before Wan Xiaolou could finish speaking, an old voice interrupted him, followed by an elder in blue clothes with a cane appearing from the side. His face showed a puzzled expression.
As for the other guests, seeing the elder, they all showed a hint of surprise and turned to look at Wan Xiaolou and the five with him.
"A Grandmaster Realm expert!"
"To think he actually has a master, a Grandmaster taking these five as disciples. He's really not picky."
"Watch your mouth, it's none of your business, don't bring trouble upon yourself."
The confusion on Wan Xiaolou's face lasted less than three moments. Seeing the oilcloth-wrapped cane and the azure longsword at the elder's waist, he immediately realized, his face breaking into a joyous expression, and he respectfully bowed, saying, "Xiaolou pays respect to Master."
This kid is indeed astute!
Hou Yuxiao's eyes showed approval, he gently stroked his beard, helped Wan Xiaolou up, then turned around, his eyes showing a deep You hue, his face displaying a grateful expression.
"Thank you, fairy, for your timely help. I was resting upstairs, if I had been late, my disciple might have been harmed by others!"
After all, he's a Grandmaster, and he didn't even know his disciple was being bullied. Since you've taken them under your wing, you should take better care of them."
This is how Holy Sect members are, even though she's just at the Dan Embracing Phase, she dares to admonish a Grandmaster, Hou Yuxiao thought, albeit knowing Zhao Qingxue meant well, yet he sighed inwardly.
"I appreciate the advice, fairy. I will certainly bear it in mind in the future!"
Having expressed his thanks, Hou Yuxiao didn't linger but took Wan Xiaolou and his group out of the restaurant.
Zhao Qingxue didn't take it to heart, got up, and headed upstairs, only pausing briefly to look at the cane in Hou Yuxiao's hand and the azure longsword at his waist, her expression one of vague recognition.
"Have I seen this person somewhere before?"
As she was pondering, a young man in a white Taoist robe with a smile quickly approached her from upstairs.
"Sister, Young Master Gu has been waiting upstairs for quite some time."
Zhao Qingxue nodded, no longer dwelling on her thoughts, and directly went upstairs.
......
East of Wanyang County City, a common guesthouse.
Wan Xiaolou and five others, along with a dozen children who had been staying by his side, stood in front of Hou Yuxiao, appearing somewhat uneasy while looking at his aged yet somewhat sinister face.
Instead of looking at Wan Xiaolou first, Hou Yuxiao surveyed the dozen children beside him, chuckled twice, and asked Wan Xiaolou, "You brought these burdens with you while escaping; aren't you afraid of accidents?"
Wan Xiaolou didn't know why Fang Jinghong in front of him had changed his appearance. Though anxious, upon hearing the question, he immediately responded, "When I adopted them in Yun Ye County, I already regarded them as my younger brothers and sisters. It's impossible for me to abandon them and escape alone!"
His tone was very firm, and the dozen people below, watching his lip movements, all showed a trace of emotion, some of the younger ones even smiling broadly and rushing forward to hug him.
