Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 152: 112?Senior Disciple Wan Xiaolou_3

Hou Yuxiao nodded slightly, looking at Wan Xiaolou with undisguised admiration in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Wan Xiaolou beat him to it.

"Senior Fang, I've just heard some news at the Golden Wind and Drizzle Building, not sure if it will be of any use to you. There are three pieces in total, two of which are about you and the Qinglong Association..."

Wan Xiaolou nervously relayed the three pieces of information he had gathered, noticing that Hou Yuxiao's expression remained unchanged, which made him feel even more apprehensive.

His thinking was simple; in Yunye County, he had helped Hou Yuxiao, who had indeed promised to take him as his disciple. However, it was ultimately Hou Yuxiao who had the right to decide whether to accept a disciple or not.

Therefore, before Hou Yuxiao, he had to demonstrate his highest value. He didn't know if the three pieces of information would be useful to Hou Yuxiao, but this was the greatest effort he could make.

Although Wan Xiaolou was anxious, his gaze never left Hou Yuxiao's face, for he was deaf and afraid to miss Hou Yuxiao's words.

But as he looked on, his face showed a touch of astonishment.

The wrinkles on Hou Yuxiao's face began to disappear, his beard slowly fell off, and his white hair turned black at a rate visible to the naked eye. The old visage transformed in an instant into the handsome young appearance that he had seen in the dilapidated temple.

"Don't be stunned, I promised to take you as my disciple and I will not go back on my word!"

While Wan Xiaolou's face was still marked by astonishment, he heard these light-hearted words from Hou Yuxiao, and his face instantly erupted into ecstatic joy. He knelt down with a thud toward Hou Yuxiao and knocked his forehead against the ground three times.

"Wan Xiaolou, greets his Master!"

"That's great, Brother Xiao Lou."

"Brother Xiao Lou has succeeded in becoming a disciple!"

"Brother Xiao Lou now has a Master..."

...

Before Hou Yuxiao could speak, a loud cheer erupted from the group of children behind Wan Xiaolou, crowding around him with happy smiles on their faces.

A smile rose in Hou Yuxiao's eyes; he gently lifted Wan Xiaolou up and didn't say much. He understood the predicament of these orphans and clearly knew why they were so happy.

In this martial world, other than blood relations, the most solid connection is that between a master and a disciple. Wan Xiaolou's kneeling signified that from now on, he too would have a martial lineage to follow, and he would no longer be alone and helpless in this world.

Wan Xiaolou looked at Hou Yuxiao, his pupils brimming with a faint glimmer of tears.

Hou Yuxiao let out a slight sigh and said nothing, only having him stand in front of him, using his body to block the view of everyone behind, and then met his gaze.

"My real name is Hou Yuxiao, and you must not let anyone else know this except for yourself, not even your brothers and sisters, understand?"

Wan Xiaolou shook, wasn't his master the Third Dragon Head of the Qinglong Association? How come he was called Hou Yuxiao now? But seeing Hou Yuxiao's gaze, he immediately realized that these were not questions he should contemplate.

His master telling him his real identity meant treating him as one of his own. With his thoughts clarified, Wan Xiaolou knelt down, his voice filled with determination.

"Xiao Lou shall obey!"

Hou Yuxiao signaled everyone to relax a bit, then changed back to his guise as Ren Feng, and took Wan Xiaolou and the others to the city to get them new clothes.

Afterward, he treated the group of more than ten people to a lavish meal at the Golden Wind and Drizzle Building, racking up a bill of over 500 silver.

Finally, he picked out a large residence in the eastern part of the city and bought it on the spot for 16,500 silver, writing Wan Xiaolou's name directly on the deed.

After all this, Wan XiaoJin and the others watched Hou Yuxiao with stars in their eyes, while Wan Xiaolou himself was completely bewildered, feeling as though he had ascended to heaven in an instant...
