Mr. Yu's face was filled with uncontrollable joy. He uttered "good, good, good" several times, his smile almost spilling out from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He said with deep emotion, "Good, good, good! I never thought that at my age, I would be so fortunate to have such a gifted disciple like you. This is truly a great gift from God. I hope you will surpass me in the future."

Xie Wanxing didn't expect that Mr. Zhao was originally invited to be a teacher for the older brothers, but he ended up becoming his disciple first.

Mr. Yu was in high spirits and gave her a series of questions to test her homework. As Mr. Yu listened to Xie Wanxing's answers, his surprise and admiration grew stronger.

He thought to himself that his young disciple had a very solid foundation of knowledge. This was not something that could be achieved overnight. It must have been the result of hard study and careful accumulation day after day and year after year. He had learned much better than many of the children of famous families in Beijing who had been studying since childhood.

Although those children of famous families in Beijing have excellent learning conditions, famous teachers, and abundant book resources, they are still not as good as this six-year-old girl in terms of the solidity of their studies and the depth and breadth of their understanding of knowledge.

How could Mr. Yu know that his new disciple, although only six years old, was actually an adult who had studied for more than twenty years.

Xie Wanxing lived in an information-rich era with many ways to acquire knowledge. There were various detailed and easy-to-understand annotations available for reference on classic ancient books such as the Four Books and Five Classics.

So when she was reading and studying, it was like standing on the shoulders of giants. With these aids, she could understand the obscure content in the book with much less effort and at a very fast speed, and her insights were naturally much better than those of others.

Mr. Yu was completely unaware of this and simply judged Xie Wanxing based on the knowledge and abilities he displayed. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had hit the jackpot this time, as if it was fate that allowed him to encounter such an unpolished jade that already emitted a brilliant light.

He became more and more satisfied with this new disciple, and thanked Old Man Zhao from afar in his heart.

Mr. Yu said, "Before you, I had another disciple. Your senior brother is also extremely talented. He is very insightful in learning and can grasp everything very quickly. He is currently studying at the Imperial College. If there is a chance in the future, I will introduce him to you."

"Thank you teacher."

Xie Lan and the others came back after their afternoon classes. Xie Songlin actually entered the space today and saw the note left by Cheng Hui. He bought some vegetables and went home early. The father and son happened to enter the room together and they could vaguely hear voices coming from the main hall, as well as Xie Wanxing's laughter.

Cheng Hui heard the noise and knew that Xie Songlin and the others had returned. She came out of the kitchen and asked, "Did you buy groceries?"

Xie Songlin quickly responded, "I bought it, I bought it, don't worry."

After saying this, Xie Songlin turned his gaze to the boys beside him. His expression became more serious. He said to them earnestly, "When you enter the main hall and meet Mr. Yu, you must all remember to be polite. Mr. Yu is a man of great learning. It is a blessing for you to come to our house to teach you this time."

"I understand, Dad." Xie Lan was also a little excited.

Cheng Hui listened to the conversation between the father and son, and then smiled and suggested, "Go and call Yuan Ge'er and the others over. They'll all have dinner at our house today. We invited the master here for Yuan Ge'er's sake. The boys at home rarely have such an opportunity, so let them come along and meet the master."

Everyone was still talking in the yard when they saw Xie Wanxing happily leading Mr. Yu out of the main hall. They looked so familiar with each other, as if they had known each other for a long time. This scene stunned everyone in the yard.

Xie Songlin knew that his daughter was a powerful person in the community, but he never expected that she would become so powerful.

As soon as Xie Wanxing saw Xie Songlin coming back, he ran over and said, "Dad, I have already taken Mr. Yu as my master. Can you help me book a banquet at Zuixianlou in a couple of days? It will be my official apprenticeship ceremony."

Xie Songlin: ...

Cheng Hui: ...

Xie Lan and others: ...

No, it’s only been one afternoon, how come my sister wants to become my disciple so beautifully?

Mr. Yu stood aside, watching the different expressions on everyone's faces. He found them quite amusing and said with a smile, "Don't be surprised, everyone. Ah Xing is truly gifted. I really like her, so I accepted her as my disciple. I will also do my best to teach the other young masters in the future, and I will not favor one over the other."

"Of course, we naturally believe you, sir." Xie Songlin said hurriedly, "It is a blessing for Ah Xing to have the honor of having you as her teacher. Ah Xing is indeed a rare and intelligent child. Now that she has received your careful teaching, it is really wonderful. I hope you will take good care of her in the future."

Mr. Yu waved his hand and said, "It's my blessing. Such a smart child is really rare in the world. Being able to become her master and accept her as my apprentice is also a great fortune for me as a teacher."

When Xie Songlin heard Mr. Yu praising Xie Wanxing like this, his mind became clear as if it were a mirror, and he immediately understood that Xie Wanxing must have stopped pretending and was revealing his true colors.

At her current age, if her true abilities were revealed, she could indeed be called a rare genius.

Xie Songlin hurriedly introduced Xie Lan and the others: "Mr. Yu, these are my sons. This is my eldest son Xie Lan, my second son Xie Lin, my third son Xie Heng, and my youngest son..."

Xie Songlin looked around. Everyone in the family was there, but Xie Yao was nowhere to be seen. "Where's Ah Yao?"

"Yes, where's Ayao!" Cheng Hui also reacted, "Axing, didn't you take Ayao with you this afternoon? Where is he?"

"Oh no! He's still squatting at the door!" A light bulb went off in Xie Wanxing's head, and he suddenly remembered his little brother who had been forgotten in the corner, and immediately rushed out of the yard.

She ran all the way and stopped at the door to look. Sure enough, Xie Yao was squatting obediently beside the ant hole under the big tree at the door. The small figure squatting there seemed a little lonely, his eyes were always staring at the ant hole, and from time to time he would stretch out his little hand to touch it.

Xie Yao suddenly heard the noise and looked up to see his sister coming out. The grievance that he had been holding back suddenly surged up, and he immediately pursed his lips, his eyes reddened, and shouted at Xie Wanxing: "Sister! Can Ayao stop squatting here! Ayao can't even move his legs!"

Xie Wanxing: ...

Xie Wanxing was frowning. This kid was too honest. He just squatted there without moving when he was asked to. Didn’t he even know to go home now that his legs were numb?
