Gu Qinghe was tidying up her dusty clothes in the room. She was startled when she heard his words from afar. She slapped him twice and rushed out.

"Really?" She opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "How did Liu Bai know?"

Wei Wu was specifically informed by his master that the title "Liubai" was his identity in front of Miss Gu.

"I told the master!" He smiled and was a little proud, but he didn't intend to take credit for it: "The master asked Lord Yu to check the money, and also said that you, young lady, had made a contribution in this business, so he specially compensated you with more than thirty taels of silver."

In fact, the government was in deficit and Lord Yu simply could not come up with so much silver, so his master took it from his own small treasury.

But there is no need to tell Miss Gu about this.

These were the exact words his master had given him.

Gu Qinghe was holding a hundred taels of silver in his hand, and he walked with the wind, looking extremely happy.

While eating, one person would give advice and another would take a piece of food. Everyone in the Gu family could feel her joy.

After everyone finished eating, she pulled Wei Wu aside and asked when the Rouge Flower Shop case would be closed.

Wei Wu thought for a moment and said, "This may take quite a long time."

He kept in touch with his master frequently, so he naturally knew that the affairs of the dental clinic and the rouge flower shop were unusual. The people and matters involved might even require his master to consider carefully before taking any action.

Seeing him say this, Gu Qinghe immediately changed the subject and asked, "Will Haoshi Restaurant be affected by this incident?"

Wei Wu nodded and said, "It will be completely sealed tomorrow."

Gu Qinghe's eyes lit up: "Is there a possibility of betrayal?"

"It's very likely." Wei Wu didn't know why Miss Gu was so excited, but when he thought about the fact that the government office didn't have much money, he said truthfully: "But once ordinary shops are involved in official cases, no one will want to buy it."

This was exactly what Gu Qinghe wanted, and the smile on her face became even more intense: "Xiao Wu, do you think I can buy it for fifty taels?"

Wei Wu was surprised: "Girl, are you going to buy it?"

Seeing her nod in affirmation, Wei Wu said seriously: "Fifty taels is too much. I feel that if the young lady takes action while it has just been sealed, it may not even cost forty taels!"

After all, Nanning Town is not as valuable as Yandu, and in Wei Wu's eyes, that small restaurant is really nothing.

That night, Gu Qinghe flew to a suburb in the south of the city to buy a house.

Gu Qinghe knew nothing about this. Unless she explicitly asked Wei Wu not to tell Liu Bai about the matter, Wei Wu dutifully reported the news to Wei Yanshi.

After all, in his opinion, his master sent him here to protect Miss Gu and other members of the Gu family because he was worried about them.

……

Early the next morning.

A man in black was standing in front of the Gu family's door. His stern figure holding a sword scared the villagers who had gotten up early to check the crops on the field ridges, so much that they immediately backed off.

Seeing him spontaneously make way for him, the villagers carrying their hoes walked past him carefully with trembling hands. After they walked away, they did not forget to touch their hearts that were almost flying out of their throats out of fright.

Gu Qinghe opened the door yawning. As soon as he opened his sleepy eyes, he was met with a cold face and immediately lost all sleepiness.

"Why are you here?" She quietly touched her face, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked towards the big banyan tree outside: "Where is Wei Wu? Why didn't I hear him say a word?"

Xie Fuyi said calmly: "I'm here to teach you martial arts. That kid isn't alert enough and is still sleeping on the tree. His martial arts skills are just so-so."

"..."

Gu Qinghe didn't know whether to praise him for being so awesome or to say that he was so awesome.

Wei Wu woke up when the villagers passed by, but since he was the one standing at the door, he didn't say anything to chase them away.

Over the past few days, he also realized that the man in black was not a danger to Miss Gu. On the contrary, he was very protective of her.

But he didn't expect that he would secretly plot against him!

Wei Wu was so angry that he jumped in front of him and said, "Who do you say is not vigilant enough? You, the dignified leader of Xunqing Pavilion, actually speaks ill of others behind their backs! Come, let's fight! Let's see whose martial arts skills are barely passable!"

The half-grown boy in front of him was so angry that his face turned red, and the words he said showed the nature of a child who was unwilling to accept the defeat.

Xie Fuyi looked down at him and said without any emotion: "You can't beat me."

Wei Wu was so angry at his nonchalant look that he looked down upon a child playing that he leaned back and glared at him: "Who do you think can't beat who?! I am Wei Xiaowu who can withstand three moves from my master!"

Gu Qinghe: “…”

Xie Fuyi: “…”

Gu Qinghe lowered his head and covered his face, fearing that Wei Wu would be even more angry.

The corners of Xie Fuyi's mouth twitched slightly, and then returned to normal: "Your master can barely tie with me."

"!"

There was no need to look at the smile on Gu Qinghe's face; Wei Wu was directly moved by his words.

You can say that he is not capable, but you absolutely cannot say that your master is not capable.

Sword energy was flying, and Xie Fuyi led him to the more open area outside. Without having to protect anyone, and with the intention of guiding this half-grown boy, Xie Fuyi knocked the man down within three moves.

One advance and one block, one move and one solution, the swords collided and clanged continuously, sometimes leaping into the air, sometimes sliding on their backs to attack.

Wei Wu finally discovered the opponent's original intention in the aggressive attack and forced defense. He stabbed the last sword head-on, but was blocked by the opponent's slight turn of his feet. He turned his wrist to retract the sword, clasped the sword and clenched his fist and said: "Your Excellency's words are very reasonable. I still have a lot of hard work to do."

Xie Fuyi hummed softly, and said to the fascinated little girl in front of the courtyard gate: "How about it, am I qualified to teach you martial arts?"

Wei Wu, who had just been hit hard, said: "..."

Wei Wu felt that he was using him as a ladder, but he had no evidence.

Gu Qinghe raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Yes!"

She lifted her skirt and ran to Xie Fuyi, bowing and saying, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings! I will work hard to learn martial arts and practice diligently every day, and will not bring shame to you!"

She raised her hands and moved in a graceful manner, with a bit of the air of a chivalrous woman.

Xie Fuyi's eyes were filled with a smile, and he reached out to help her up: "If you can protect yourself, it will be the best reward for me."

He didn't say he was a teacher.

In fact, the title of Master is not as important as her previous title of Brother.

But he didn't force her to call him that.

The title of brother belongs only to his younger sister.

I just don't know if he can still hear it in these few decades.

The smile in Xie Fuyi's eyes gradually faded, and he returned to his original cold and sullen look.

Gu Qinghe didn't notice the change in his expression. In her eyes, he had always been a man with a cold face but a warm heart. So when she saw that he had a cold face and no joy at all in becoming her disciple, she didn't take it to heart.
