The old house in Linjiang is getting more and more lively.
When Zuo Yi just returned from the world of Sadeya, this three-story villa had been deserted for three years. After he came back, he lived here alone.
Then there was Bao'er, then Fang Yonghe, then Gu Yunxi...
The people gathered in the old house tonight include Chen Wan, Gu Kai and Zhang Yun, Zhang Yaoming, as well as Shang Yulin and Wang Jiaojiao.
Including Xia Yunqi and Alijie, who was brought back by Zuo Yi, there were twelve people in total, filling a large table.
As a foreign visitor and Zuo Yi's new student, Alijie received a warm welcome from everyone.
Fang Yonghe tried his best, and with the help of Gu Yunxi and Chen Wan, he cooked a table of delicious dishes.
Today is not a special day, it is just a day for everyone to get together.
"cheers!"
At Fang Yonghe's suggestion, everyone toasted together, and the atmosphere became more lively.
"Master, I offer you a toast."
Wang Jiaojiao held a glass of red wine and said softly to Zuo Yi: "You can't forget about the old ones when you have new people, or forget about the old apprentices when you have new students."
She is already a sophomore student. Due to her busy schedule and the fact that Zuo Yi doesn't go to Tianhong Martial Arts School often, she has rarely seen Master Zuo Yi during this time.
Therefore, there is a hint of resentment in his tone, and people who don't understand him would think he was abandoned by Zuo Yi.
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Zuo Yi knocked Wang Jiaojiao on the head: "Naughty."
To be honest, in the past year, Zuo Yi has really neglected the Tianhong Martial Arts School. Although Wang Jiaojiao is his apprentice, she usually studies with Shang Yulin, and the number of times she gives personal guidance is very rare.
However, when the new martial arts hall is completed early next year, the situation will be different. He will focus part of his work on the new martial arts hall to promote and spread his martial arts and ideas.
By then, several apprentice students will naturally be able to receive more guidance.
In fact, compared to Zuo Yi's other apprentice Sun Qiang, Wang Jiaojiao is very lucky. At least she can still see Zuo Yi if she wants to.
Sun Qiang followed his parents abroad after the summer vacation. Because his father was sent to work in Europe and it would take at least four or five years to come back, so during this period he could only study in Europe.
The little fat boy didn't want to go, but his parents insisted on letting him follow him out, so in the end Sun Qiang cried and bid farewell to Zuo Yi, saying that he wanted to continue to be Zuo Yi's apprentice when he came back.
Zuo Yi encouraged him a few words and asked him to continue training and studying abroad.
Although Sun Qiang is gone, more and more people are appearing around Zuo Yi, and he still likes the lively atmosphere now.
Only when you have experienced true loneliness and loneliness can you understand the happiness of being accompanied by family and friends!
After the lively dinner, Gu Kai and his wife, Zhang Yaoming, Chen Wan and Wang Jiaojiao left first. Gu Yunxi and Fang Yonghe cleaned up the housework together, and Zuo Yi and Shang Yulin went to the study to discuss matters about the martial arts hall.
The new Tianhong Martial Arts Gym built in the original factory area of Linjiang Town has been successfully roofed, and the main project has been basically completed. It is currently undergoing exterior and interior decoration and layout stages. There will be no problems when it opens early next year.
According to the plan, the first batch of 3,000 new students will be admitted to the Xintian Hongwu Gymnasium, and the corresponding work must be carried out in advance. For Shang Yulin, who has only managed a few dozen students at most, it will undoubtedly be a great test.
The arrangements for the enrollment promotion plan, the recruitment of new martial arts gym managers and new instructors, etc., made Shang Yulin very busy. During this time, he lost several pounds.
Since the entire Xin Budokan project and Xin Tianhong's plan came from Zuo Yi, it was impossible for him to be a completely hands-off shopkeeper. He had to spare some time and energy to help Shang Yulin.
While the adults were busy, Baoer took his best friends, best friends, and the young lady he had just met to go to his own secret world.
The path leading deep into the forest is winding and winding, and the meandering stream beside it is gurgling. Although it is already dark, the moonlight shining through the dense canopy of trees and the fireflies flying on the grass make this path not at all eerie.
Feel.
Alijie felt like Alice in the fairy tale, who had just stepped into the legendary dreamland.
She opened her eyes wide and looked around, and was led by Bao'er to the front of a towering tree.
Alijie was immediately shocked.
She had never seen such a huge tree. It was tens of meters high and stretched out its canopy that blocked out the sky and the sun. Thousands of vine roots hung down. It was as majestic and powerful as if it had existed forever and had gone through an unknown amount of years of history.
What surprised the thirteen-year-old girl was that she had a strange feeling towards this giant tree, as if there was some kind of bond and involvement between the two parties, and a feeling of closeness arose spontaneously.
"Sister Alijie..."
Bao'er enthusiastically introduced to Alizee: "This is Bao'er tree. Like Atai, it is my good friend!"
The huge crown of the Bao tree swayed gently, and the leaves made a "rustling" sound as they rubbed against each other, which was a response to Bao'er and a welcome to Alizee.
Baoer clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Baoshu is greeting you!"
Alijie showed an awkward but polite smile and waved to Baoshu: "Hi."
I feel a little stupid.
唳～
At this moment, accompanied by a sharp cry, a black figure suddenly appeared above them.
"Danger!"
Alijie was immediately shocked and instinctively pulled out the dagger, protecting Bao'er and Qiqi at the same time.
She looked up and saw the gryphon falling from the sky!
"Sister Alizee."
Baoer quickly pulled her dress and explained: "This is Ah Jiu, he is also my good friend."
"Well…"
Alijie did not stab the dagger, because she already felt that the griffon showed no hostility, and it was retracting its wings and landing steadily next to Bao'er.
"Ajiu."
Bao'er reached out and touched Ah Jiu's drooped head and said, "Let me introduce to you, she is sister Alijie."
咿～
Ah Jiu let out a low cry and shook her head at Alijie.
Alijie secretly hid the dagger and waved to the griffin: "Hi..."
"Baoer, here I come!"
As a result, before she finished speaking, a budgerigar swooped down with its wings waving, landed on the little girl's shoulder, and rubbed her neck very affectionately.
Baoer chuckled: "Sister Alijie, this is Pippi, also..."
"Your best friend!"
Alijie has learned to answer questions quickly!
Alijie suddenly felt a deep envy of the little girl, because not only did she have a doting father and mother, but she also had so many friends and partners.
