Chapter 61

His face was blue and white, regretting until his intestines turned green. If he had known this, he shouldn't have made the relationship so stiff before.

He didn't regret mistreating Xu Yang and his sister, but regretted losing the opportunity to become a martial artist's father.

"Why did you stop? Hurry up!"

Zhang Cuiting pushed Xu Laoer to continue walking. She wanted to confirm whether Xu Yang really became a martial artist.

If it was fake, naturally she would mock him.

If it was true, then she would repair the relationship and let Xu Yang become an aid to her son. As for the previous grudges, for the sake of her son's future, she wouldn't care about Xu Yang.

But a seventeen or eighteen-year-old brat, a few words were guaranteed to coax him obediently, not to mention Xu Laoer, his biological father.

By the time Xu Laoer hurried to his former home, he found many people already there; the residents of Bai Shi Ward had come to bask in the good fortune of a martial artist master.

"Isn't this Xu Laoer? Are you here to bask in the good fortune of a martial artist master too?"

Seeing Xu Laoer, someone immediately teased him.

"Where is Xu Yang?"

His skin was thick enough that he didn't mind, and he asked about Xu Yang instead.

"He became a martial artist and went to thank his eldest uncle with gifts," someone said.

Even with his thick skin, Xu Laoer felt his face burning at this moment.

After making a round of inquiries, he confirmed that Xu Yang had indeed become a martial artist; the shattered stone in front of the house was proof.

Returning from his eldest uncle's house, the sky had already turned dark.

Xu Yang not only repaid the money he had borrowed from Zhou Shunchang but also gave a little extra.

Although he still needed money, he couldn't wait until he was truly wealthy to repay it; Zhou Shunchang naturally didn't want it, as he hadn't expected Xu Yang to pay him back when he first gave it.

After some polite refusal, he was persuaded by Xu Yang to accept it.

"Xiao Qing, I intend to send you to school!"

Looking at Xu Qing, who was almost as tall as his own shoulder, Xu Yang had an idea in his heart.

"No, I don't want to study. I want to practice martial arts too. I want to be a martial artist master," the little girl shook her head and said.

Those who study are only scolded as pedantic scholars; only practicing martial arts is glorious.

Xu Yang hadn't expected her to have the idea of practicing martial arts already, so he shook his head and said, "Studying is to let you learn to read and broaden your knowledge. You are still young and not yet at the age to practice martial arts. When you reach the age, Brother will naturally let you practice."

Although there are not many women who practice martial arts, they are not non-existent, and Xu Yang did not have such prejudices.

Hearing that she could practice martial arts in the future, the little girl finally agreed.

The next day, the first thing Xu Yang did upon opening his eyes was to look at the panel.

【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 65】

Having successfully gathered Qi, the panel rewarded him with thirty points.

After some thought, he divided the points equally to improve his comprehension and innate talent.

【Comprehension: 24】

【Innate Talent: 43】

His comprehension was raised to 24, and his innate talent was raised to 43.

He did not improve his cultivation method.

Using points to improve cultivation methods is actually a one-off deal; improving comprehension and innate talent to increase cultivation speed is the most cost-effective approach. He had only used points to improve cultivation methods before because of the crisis.

The improvement finished, and Xu Yang didn't feel much.

After eating, Xu Qing changed into the new clothes bought in town yesterday. Xu Yang took her to the street to buy the Four Treasures of the Study, prepared the tuition, and the two walked toward the home of Old Licentiate Li in Bai Shi Ward.

"Brother, you wouldn't be having ideas about Li Yao again just because you became a martial artist, would you?"

Hearing that Xu Yang wanted her to go to Old Licentiate Li's school instead of the other, more learned Master Liu, Xu Qing couldn't help but be curious.

"What are you blindly thinking about, you little girl? Old Licentiate Li is upright, while that Master Liu is a snob. I don't want you to learn his bad habits."

He had studied at Master Liu's school when he was young; Master Liu wouldn't even glance at poor students like them, so he naturally didn't want his sister to be a student of such a person.

As for Old Licentiate Li's daughter, Li Yao, that was the "white moonlight" of his predecessor, not his.

The little girl giggled and said, "Don't think I don't know you used to peek at Li Yao often."
