It was not convenient for the few people to talk in detail while standing in the yard, so they walked to the wall where they had trained before to discuss.

Seeing Hu Ling's melancholy expression, Young Master Wu consoled her, "Ling'er, don't worry. I have a trump card. I'll tell you when the time comes, and my father will have to agree to it, whether he agrees or not."

Everyone, including Hu Ling, looked surprised and bewildered. Qingsheng asked him what winning formula he hadn't yet revealed. Young Wu hesitated, unwilling to speak. Several others urged him to speak quickly.

Ran Mo suddenly had a thought, could it be that... She suddenly felt something was wrong. Some things might not be simple and could not be said casually. So she changed the subject and said, "Since it is a hand mace, it can only be used when it is needed, and it can only be used once.

If it gets leaked too early, it might not work. Don't ask me anymore, I believe Young Master Wu knows the answer."

Wu Shao quickly continued Ran Mo's words, "Yes, yes, Ran Mo is right. It's exactly what I want. It's not the time to use it yet, but it's enough to show my determination."

Several people discussed whether to bring up the matter with Master Zhang again. Ran Mo analyzed that Master Wu probably had already told Master Zhang about his current opinion. Master Zhang had already helped a lot, so let's not bother him for the time being.

Several people agreed. Xin'er muttered again, "Alas, it's a pity there's only one Master Zhang. If there were two more Masters Li and Zhao, they would probably be able to convince Master Wu."

After hearing Xin'er's words, everyone laughed and thought it made sense. However, it was not so easy to find so many nobles and masters.

At this moment, a man walked in from the courtyard gate. He was wearing a straw hat and simple clothes, and looked dusty and tired, as if he had come from a long journey.

At first, no one recognized him, but after walking a few steps, his two most senior disciples naturally recognized who he was. Jingsheng and Wu Shao excitedly shouted "Master!" and ran forward to greet their mentor.

The man took off his straw hat, revealing himself to be the instructor. Ranmo and Xin'er also approached him. The instructor smiled and greeted them. They were all thrilled. Firstly, they were thrilled that the instructor had finally returned after such a long time, allowing the master and apprentice to meet again. Secondly, their return was perfectly timed; he was sure to be able to provide further assistance to Wu Shao and Hu Ling.

This was also the first time Mr. Wu and Hu Ling met. Mr. Wu briefly introduced himself to Hu Ling, who also saluted him, and Mr. Wu nodded slightly in response.

Mr. Wu originally wanted to put forward his request to the gentleman, but he felt that it was not appropriate to do so since the gentleman had just returned, so he first asked the gentleman whether the trip was smooth and whether the matter was accomplished.

The gentleman chuckled and said, "There's no need to rush to talk about my business. It's already been done. Do you want me to help you with your business?"

The instructor was truly forthright and calculating. Knowing that the two of them were worried about this matter, and that he had taken the initiative to bring it up, it truly comforted everyone and put their minds at ease. I hurriedly expressed my gratitude to the instructor.

The gentleman waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be polite. I do have something to say to Mr. Wu about this matter." Several people wanted to ask what the gentleman was going to say, but felt it was a bit abrupt, so they didn't ask any more questions, just saying that they were sorry to bother him.

The gentleman asked them to go about their own business first, as he had just returned and needed to chat with Mr. Wu first, and would discuss his views when the time was right.

The few people understood that this matter should not be rushed, so they thanked the master again. After the master said goodbye to them, he went to the hall to meet Master Wu.

Several people were filled with emotion. Just as they were wondering if there was any more help from a noble person, the instructor arrived. Hopefully, he could further change Mr. Wu's mind.

They chatted for a while at the base of the wall, but then decided this wasn't the right place to talk. After a quick look around, Qingsheng suggested they go to his room to discuss things. So they all went to the side room.

After entering the house and sitting down, everyone sighed a little. Now Wu Shao was acting like an outsider, and had to hide in other people's rooms to talk. Even Azan couldn't live here and practice martial arts with him for the time being.

Ranmo suggested that Young Master Wu take advantage of this period of easing tensions and move back home. This would also allow him to have more communication with Master Wu. Young Master Wu initially wanted to refuse, but Hu Ling persuaded him to do so, and he finally agreed.

Ran Ying sighed at this moment, and Qing Sheng hurriedly asked her what was wrong. Ran Mo said frankly that he had thought asking the county lieutenant's wife to recommend Hu Ling's book to Madam Wu might help fuel the flames.

But judging by the current situation, the situation seems to be quite a big deal. It is likely that Mr. Wu is not happy to see Mrs. Wu reading those novels, and he may have made things worse.

Wu Shao hurriedly comforted her, saying, "Don't say that. This trick is still useful." At least his mother had passed this test. Otherwise, if both parents were against it, they would definitely not be able to cope.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Hu Ling also said that Master Wu didn't like this kind of novel and would make this request sooner or later. Ranmo didn't need to worry about it. She was also wavering, unsure whether to change it.

Wu Shao then said that there was no need to change. One of the main reasons why he was close to Hu Ling was because he admired her talent. If Hu Ling gave up writing novels, would she still be Hu Ling?

Hu Ling smiled with relief. As expected, the one who understands me best is Young Master Wu.

They discussed their future ideas and strategies and felt that it was crucial to wait for news from the instructor.

The only person in the mansion who could talk to Master Wu on a daily basis was the instructor. Master Wu also respected him; otherwise, he wouldn't have trusted him with the important task of training the two young masters.
