“Hey, what are you looking for?” Zhang Hai Ke asked in confusion.
“Isn’t there a place to take a bath? I want to take a bath!”
Wang Xiao Yuan said.
“Hey! You’re really treating this place like your own home?”
Zhang Hai Ke was speechless.
“Didn’t you agree to let me stay here? How can I not use the toilet and the bathhouse?” Wang Xiao Yuan said with a matter-of-fact expression.
She really didn’t stand on ceremony at all!
These words left Zhang Hai Ke speechless. He wasn’t the kind of person who would nitpick, so he had no choice but to lead her to the washroom.
…
In the following days, Zhang Yun Feng didn’t go anywhere. He stayed in the Zhang family’s base, eating and sleeping all day.
Time flew by, and soon it was the day before Zhang Hai Xing was released from prison.
That morning, the few children the Zhang family had taken in were practicing various skills in the courtyard.
Most of them were learning martial arts.
Speaking of which, these children were all pitiful. Some were abandoned by their parents, while others were orphans whose parents had died and had no one to take care of them.
After the Zhang family adopted these children, they taught them various skills, and when they grew up, they would work for the Zhang family.
This could be considered mutually beneficial.
Among these children, he saw a familiar figure.
It was a little guy, only seven or eight years old, carrying a very short knife, with a resolute gaze. He even looked a bit like him!
“This is… my little fanboy?” Zhang Yun Feng was taken aback.
He curiously walked towards the group of children.
When the children saw him, they all politely said “Clan Chief!” with a very respectful attitude, their eyes filled with admiration.
The little guy who was imitating him stood there, looking at him shyly, not daring to look at him directly.
Zhang Yun Feng came to his side, squatted down, and asked in a gentle voice, “Little guy, what’s your name?”
The kid blushed and said, “Clan Chief, my name is Zhang Xiao Yu!”
“Zhang Xiao Yu? Interesting. Why are you dressed like this?” Zhang Yun Feng asked, stroking his head.
“Clan Chief, you are my idol. I admire you very much, so I want to become someone like you!” the little guy replied.
It turned out that Zhang Hai Ke and the other Zhang family members overseas often talked about Zhang Yun Feng, saying how powerful he was.
He single-handedly entered the Zhang family’s ancient building and retrieved the lost clan leader’s jade pendant and the black gold ancient knife.
And he single-handedly endured the backlash from the Heavenly Grant and protected the family from disaster.
Over time, these little guys naturally took Zhang Yun Feng as their idol and subconsciously imitated him.
After listening, Zhang Yun Feng looked at the mini black gold ancient knife on his back, then at the original black gold ancient knife on his own back, and couldn’t help but smile.
“You want to be someone like me, huh?”
Zhang Yun Feng asked with a smile.
“Yes, Clan Chief. Can you teach me martial arts? I will definitely study hard and become a master of our Zhang family in the future!”
Zhang Xiao Yu said seriously.
“Ambitious! But learning martial arts is a very painful, very demanding process. Are you sure you want to learn?” Zhang Yun Feng asked.
He said these things naturally to make the little guy back down.
Another reason was that he didn’t have the time or energy to teach disciples right now. Teaching disciples would take too much time and effort.
“I’m not afraid of pain. I have the perseverance. Master, you… you can test me!” the little guy said seriously.
Looking at his resolute little eyes, he wasn’t joking at all.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and a woman in her 30s walked over.
This woman was the one responsible for taking in these little guys. Her name was Zhang Mei Hua, and she was mainly responsible for the children’s food and clothing.
As for teaching martial arts, it was done by the Zhang family’s men.
She was Zhang Hai Ke’s father’s adopted daughter. He had rescued her from a pirate in the South Seas during his early years in business and raised her.
In terms of seniority, she was Zhang Hai Ke’s older sister.
“Sister.” Zhang Yun Feng greeted her.
Zhang Mei Hua smiled gently, “You are the Zhang family’s Clan Chief. How can you lower yourself and call me sister? Just call me Mei Hua!”
“No, according to seniority, I should call you sister. How about calling you Sister Mei Hua?” Zhang Yun Feng suggested.
“Alright.” Zhang Mei Hua nodded.
Then she said to Zhang Xiao Yu, “Xiao Yu, you’re being naughty again. Are you trying to get Clan Chief Uncle to teach you martial arts?”
“I want to learn martial arts from my idol. I want to become a master and protect our Zhang family!” Zhang Xiao Yu said seriously.
Zhang Mei Hua patted his head fondly, “That won’t do! Your Clan Chief Uncle is very busy. How could he have time to teach disciples? If you want to learn martial arts, let your brothers teach you. Go on!”
With that, she sent the little guys away.
“You are these little guys’ idol, they want to become your disciples when they see you. It’s just a game, don’t take it seriously.” Zhang Mei Hua explained.
Zhang Yun Feng said nonchalantly, “It’s fine, if I have time, I might as well teach them. At least they will be able to defend themselves in the future.”
“Hai Xing, that girl, will be released tomorrow. We’ll go pick her up together then. We need to get your wedding done as soon as possible. The old man will be relieved as well!” Zhang Mei Hua said with a smile.
“Right, where’s the old man? Is he still in the South Seas?”
“Yes. He personally took over a big deal. He will retire after finishing this deal. I’ve already told the old man about you. He will rush back as soon as possible to handle your wedding with Hai Xing.”
“Okay, thank you all for your help!” Zhang Yun Feng said politely.
“Okay. Go sit in the living room, I’ll go make dinner first.”
“Okay, Sister Mei Hua, you go ahead and get busy.”
After Zhang Mei Hua left, Zhang Yun Feng actively found the group of little guys and examined their bone structure.
This was mainly to test whether they were suitable for martial arts, because not every physique could practice martial arts!
Martial arts is all about talent and bone structure.
After the examination, Zhang Yun Feng found that they were all healthy and suitable for martial arts.
And their age was also suitable, it was the time for them to lay a solid foundation.
This was also normal. Those frail and sickly children, even if they were adopted, they wouldn’t be able to practice martial arts.
Learning to write and draw was more appropriate.
After confirming that these little guys were suitable for martial arts, Zhang Yun Feng didn’t waste any time and personally taught them the Zhang family’s secret skill – The Ethereal Double Finger!
He brought over a basin of fine sand and personally demonstrated it!
With a whoosh, he inserted his two fingers into the fine sand.
The little guys immediately clapped and cheered, each of them eager to try.
When they were all eager to learn, Zhang Yun Feng started to teach the little guys how to poke the sand, hand by hand, and he taught them very seriously.
This scene happened to be seen by the few people responsible for teaching martial arts.
