After hearing several loud noises and a scream, Sun Xunqiao ran out of the kitchen carrying a large spoon and a kitchen knife, only to find that everything in the grocery store was as usual.
Chang Duanxuan and Liang De were both sitting at the table, calm and relaxed, chatting and laughing freely. Even Liang De's clothes were brand new, and his face and hands seemed to have turned whiter.
"Xunqiao, this is the Global Elite Sports Center, and there is a teacher in charge. What could happen? You still have to change your sudden temper. The boss is not young anymore, so he should be more calm."
Chang Duanxuan was secretly pleased.
Although I took action at will, I did not forget to cover my Qi. Adé just changed into hundreds of bodies, and I can hear strange noises from inside when I look for the bridge. This warrior's spiritual sense has improved greatly.
As luck would have it, it was a good thing that he was hunted down by those three girls.
Chang Duanxuan glanced at Liang De, who was still in shock, and said:
"Ade, what do you think?"
"Master is right, senior brother, you should learn to be calm."
Liang De said with his new vocal cords and tongue:
"It's been making noises all day long, what does it look like?"
Sun Xunqiao looked at his master and then at his junior brother. He didn't feel any dissonance at all. He seemed to be the strangest person in this grocery store. He was puzzled and wanted to tap the back of his head with a meteorite spoon to confirm.
Are you hallucinating?
Chang Duanxuan pointed to the bench and said:
"Since you are here, you should also sit down. I have something important to tell you."
Sun Xunqiao put away the large spoonful of kitchen knife, but did not sit down.
"What's the matter? Master, please keep it short. I'm still stewing pickled cabbage and pork ribs."
Chang Duanxuan took out a genealogy of the ancient martial arts of the Eastern Kingdom and placed it on the table. He clicked on the cover of the genealogy, and the genealogy of the sect since the thirty-second generation appeared in the air, one branch at a time, clearly visible at a glance.
"After being trained as a Yin Demon puppet by Sheng Wuxu as my master, I have accepted a lot of named disciples. Since Shaorou passed away, the only true disciples under me who are still alive are you three.
Nowadays, the sect is in decline and the martial arts is in decline. Since I am the leader of a sect, I naturally have to shoulder the burden of revitalizing the sect. However, it is difficult to sing with a single hand or support a tree alone. You brothers must also do something for me to support me."
Sun Xunqiao said: "Master, do we have to let the senior sister come and listen to this matter? If we can do what needs to be done, my junior brother and I will never refuse, but the two of us cannot take the lead."
"Second Senior Brother is right." Liang De quickly expressed his support.
Chang Duanxuan was very pleased when he heard this and said:
"Although you two are somewhat incompetent, your self-knowledge is very valuable. The disaster that happened when your uncle and I competed for the position will never happen again, at least in this generation."
Sun Xunqiao asked curiously: "Do we still have an uncle?"
"We'll talk about these old things later."
Chang Duanxuan put away the genealogy and said in a deep voice:
“When I was a master, I claimed to be ‘knowledgeable in all matters’, and my character and martial arts were all chosen for a while. I was also arrogant and thought of myself as the master of Zhongxing. I wanted to bring glory to the great sect and expand my martial arts lineage.
But now I think about it, everything is possible, but it is just a dog that keeps its own way, and it just rolls around in more ways.
You senior fellow apprentices each have their own strengths, but compared to her, they are just mediocre people.
The future achievements of the two of you should be higher than mine, but continuing the past and forging ahead into the future, surpassing the present and the past, will be the achievement of all generations. Only Donglan can't do it.
Now is the time for her to fight bravely and vigorously in the south and north, so she should not worry about these trivial matters."
Liang De and Sun Xunqiao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"It turns out you were just doing odd jobs. Master, if you had told me earlier, I thought you were going to pass the position of head to me, which made me nervous for a long time."
Sun Xunqiao patted his chest, relieved.
"Bah! I won't pass it on to you even if I pass it to Ade!"
Liang De was shocked: "You really don't want to pass it on to me, do you?! Master, please think carefully again!"
"You have a beautiful idea! If I pass it on to you...my senior brother won't pass it on to you even if I pass it on to you!"
"Very good!"
Liang De and Sun Xunqiao said in unison. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and high-fived each other. Their eyes were full of sympathy. After all, they were brothers who drank lard together, so their tacit understanding was different.
Chang Duanxuan was speechless for a moment as he looked at the pair of "crouching dragon and phoenix chicks". He only regretted that he preferred to be lacking rather than recruiting more true disciples. As a result, he couldn't free up his hands to clean up the family now, which was far less enjoyable than before.
"Are you done?"
"I'm fine."
In order to save his spare body, Liang De quickly put down his hand and said:
"Master, what you want is for me and my senior brother to select suitable candidates from among the work-study students to join the sect."
"exactly."
"This is not easy." Sun Xunqiao said, "There are four work-study students in total. Let them play a hundred rounds of four-person round-robin and accept the last one standing."
Chang Duanxuan said displeasedly: "What's the use of being able to fight? As a teacher, I can't tell which one of them is the best at practicing the crops? What I want to see is their martial ethics!"
Liang De thought for a while and said:
"Otherwise, let the four of them live an organizational life first, and at the same time carry out systematic martial arts education.
After passing the moral education examination, democratic recommendations, individual interviews and prior inspections will be conducted sequentially. After extensive solicitation of opinions, the candidates will be announced for seven days. Those working-study students who have no response after the publicity period will be held an apprenticeship ceremony and a probation period of at least one year will be implemented."
Chang Duanxuan stroked his beard and said:
"Ade, the suggestions you gave are quite mature and prudent, and have the demeanor of a master who was in charge of a discipline in his time."
"Master, what I just said was all nonsense, let's play in the round robin!"
Chang Duanxuan just pretended not to hear and continued:
"In short, you first take the work-study students everywhere to do meaningful things, such as building bridges and roads, supporting the elderly and the young, protecting the environment, etc., observe their character in these small things, and keep records."
Liang De said sternly: "Master, if I hadn't come here, you were planning to let your senior brother take charge of this matter alone.
I also think that senior brother is fully capable of taking charge of his own business, why not..."
Chang Duanxuan said coldly: "Your senior brother happened to come here because of the wood art regulations. If you don't come, I plan to let Dong Lan capture you two after some time."
"Master, I still feel..."
"If you do this well, I'll let you be my assistant when I record the paid courses."
"Okay master, no problem master!"
Sun Xunqiao said in confusion:
"Martial ethics is the most important thing in our sect. Master, why do you want to pick people in a place like the elite center where the weak and the strong prey on each other, and you choose people from these weak chickens who have been stepped on to the bottom of the school."
"Because only in such a place and such a situation can it be easiest to see a person's true color."
Chang Duanxuan said slowly:
"The same people who are at the bottom are oppressed by the strong. Some people want to be the slaves and lackeys of the strong. Some people want to be another strong person who dominates. Some people want to be the strong and protect the weak. Some people want to be the strong and protect the weak.
People want to create a world where everyone is equal.
Xunqiao, who would you rather teach the ancient Dongguo boxing technique to?"
