The carriage slowly stopped in front of the door.

After Xu Tuzi and Jiang Yun got out of the car, Butler Wei, like the kind neighbor Niu Ye, said, "Master Jiang, please have a good rest. I have troubled you both today. The master and I will visit again tomorrow."

Watching Butler Wei leave, Xu Tuzi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Good guy, people who don’t know better think Jiang Yun is your grandson! Along the way in the carriage, Butler Wei also praised Jiang Yun more. As a shopkeeper, he is not as good as a small worker.

Where can I go to reason with you?

"Shopkeeper." As Jiang Yun spoke, he took out five gold cakes from his waist. "This is my accommodation fee for the past six months. I have troubled you these days. I will help them repair the wood carvings tomorrow. If I make money, half of it will be returned to me."

you."

Xu Tuzi was not polite, took the five gold cakes, and said cheerfully, "Half? You said so yourself!"

Just looking at Mr. Wei's posture today, he must be very fond of wood carvings. If Jiang Yun can really help him repair the wood carvings, the price will definitely not be low!

"Um."

Jiang Yun nodded heavily, "The remaining half should be given to Yiyi."

Xu Tuzi clicked his tongue in a strange way, feeling indescribably uncomfortable in his heart, eating this dog food...

What a surprise!

"Ahem."

Xu Tuzi, who coughed slightly, grabbed Jiang Yun who was about to come in, and whispered, "Boy, didn't you want to become my disciple before?"

"You don't want to accept me either..." Jiang Yun scratched his head.

"That's right..." Xu Tuzi had an inscrutable look on his face, "Actually, when I said I wouldn't accept you, it was just a test for you. In fact, it was to observe your character!"

"After getting along with you today, I think you are a good guy and will not become that kind of traitorous villain."

Seeing Jiang Yun listening attentively, Xu Tuzi believed what he said. The more he spoke, the more clearly he showed that he was thinking about the other party.

"So, if you still want to learn the formation, you can become my teacher."

"I, Xu Tuzi, have spent my whole life studying the art of formations painstakingly for decades. But you have amazing bones and a simple and kind heart. I think it is a very good choice to pass on what I have learned throughout my life to you."

Jiang Yun opened his mouth. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell which link it was.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Xu Tuzi seemed a little angry and asked Leng Leng.

Without thinking carefully, Jiang Yun hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Of course I am willing. Master, don't blame me. I'm here to pay my respects to the master."

Xu Tuzi's face turned cloudy and he smiled and helped Jiang Yun up.

"Good disciple."

"Come on, let's go in and tell your future wife and his master the good news."

"Master, I will work overtime tonight to teach you how to practice, and catch up with Yiyi as soon as possible."

"We gentlemen, only by learning a certain skill can we be able to protect others. Of course, we can also better protect ourselves when there is internal fighting in the family."

Jiang Yun: "..."

...

It was night, Liu Yiyi and Lao Liutou were sitting under the willow tree.

Liu Yiyi looked at Xu Tuzi who had been explaining the basics of the formation to Jiang Yun, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "What kind of ecstasy soup did Jiang Yun give to his uncle? Why did he go out for a trip? Not only did his uncle accept Jiang Yun as his disciple,

, and became kind to him."

The image of someone righteously refusing to accept Jiang Yun as his disciple a few days ago is still vivid in my mind.

Don’t you think that taking on a disciple will cost you money, time and energy?

This bad old man is so bad, I really can’t believe it!

Unexpectedly, Xu Tuzi heard it from afar, and turned around and said righteously, "I have already said it, do you understand his test? What's the matter, Yiyi, you are not happy that your man can practice cultivation, are you?"

"

After all, he was a child. Liu Yiyi blushed instantly at these words and hurriedly defended, "I didn't..."

"Oh, that means you are happy for your men to practice cultivation with me."

Xu Tuzi turned his head and saw Jiang Yun's face was also blushing. He couldn't help but joked, "What's going on? How come you two are as red as a persimmon at the same time? By the way, disciple, you worship me as your master, and I and I

If you are an old drunkard, you still have to call your future wife your senior sister."

Liu Yiyi has practiced with Lao Liutou for many years. Regardless of her strength or seniority, she is indeed Jiang Yun's senior sister.

"ah?"

Jiang Yun suddenly realized this. He couldn't help but glance at Liu Yiyi and found that the little girl was already snickering.

Her white teeth and narrowed eyes are very beautiful.

"But..."

Xu Tuzi took it upon himself to speak for his disciple again, "After all, Jiang Yun is older than Yiyi, and if you practice with me, it will be a matter of time before your strength catches up. So Yiyi, you want to call Jiang Yun your senior brother, do you hear me?"

Seeing the big bully Xu Tuzi, Liu Yiyi quit.

I just want to be a senior sister!

You help your apprentice, I also have a master!

Liu Yiyi pouted and said coquettishly, "Obviously I was the first to practice, but my uncle insists that I call Jiang Yun my senior brother. Ah, ah, master, you have to make the decision for me! o(╥﹏╥)o"

"Hiccup~"

Lao Liutou shook his head and burped, and the air was instantly filled with the smell of alcohol. "Then just shout, you won't lose a piece of meat. Just be patient, I can't beat your master, and we still live on someone else's territory."

Woolen cloth."

“(o_o)??”

Speechlessly looking at her alcoholic master, Liu Yiyi was finally convinced. Why was her life so miserable?

The proud Xu Tuzi raised his eyebrows confidently at his apprentice and asked for credit, "How is it? Isn't the master great?"

Jiang Yun couldn't help but flatter him, "Master is mighty."

"hey-hey."

Xu Tuzi, who was recognized, rolled his eyes and whispered softly, "My good disciple, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Master, please tell me."

Unexpectedly, Xu Tuzi chuckled, then rubbed his hands and said, "That's right. You also know that the business of our store is not very good. Although the store is located in Wushen City, where land is very valuable, there are few people to take care of the business."

Jiang Yun nodded, the store's bleak condition could be seen from the fact that it only took five or six days for an order to be placed.

The reason why this happens is because Wushen City is the largest city in the northwest, and there are countless large and small formation sects around it. Practitioners who have a little bit of formation skills will go to the city to find customers to make money.

Regardless of whether they are ordinary people or wealthy families, most of them look for cheap or reliable ones.

Xu Tuzi is a lazy guy with no name, and his appearance is not very reliable. However, there are other sects' formation shops on the two streets nearby.

In contrast, there are very few people who choose Xutu Zhenfa Shop, so business will naturally be bleak.

"To tell you the truth, in the past few years of opening a store, the income has been barely enough, and I haven't made much money at all." Xu Tuzi looked melancholy, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he was confiding after a lot of hardships.

"Before, I was fine on my own, and the days of fighting were over."

"But now there are four of us. The old drunkard wants to drink, your future wife Yiyi wants to buy clothes, and she will also build better weapons in the future. You follow me to practice, and you have to spend money to learn formations, and you have to burn money to feed them.

It comes from experience. All four of us have to pay for it here and there."

Listening to what he said, Jiang Yun suddenly understood that it was not easy for a master to be a master without knowing how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were.

No wonder when we were in the Wei Family Courtyard, we kept forcing a smile on our face to talk to people just for money.

These are poor people who are forced by life!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun consoled him, "Master, I will learn the formation as soon as possible and help you run the shop."

"No, no, no!" Xu Tuzi interrupted hastily, "That's not what I meant. In this business of formation, a small shop cannot make much money."

"What I mean is... we can find another way out for the shop. In addition to the formation, we can do something else, for example... sell some art."

Now that the words have been spoken, Jiang Yun naturally understood what he was saying.

"Then..." Jiang Yun said tentatively, "How about I make some wood and stone carvings and we sell them on the display cabinet?"

At this time, Jiang Yun finally understood that Xu Tuzi was willing to accept him as his apprentice because he found that he could make money by carving wood. However, he did not hate the other party's behavior, because after more than half a year, he understood that Master Xu Tuzi was just a little greedy for money.

He is not a bad person at heart.

Even when the old drunkard and the three lived for free for more than half a year, the other party never complained or drove the three of them away.

From this point, we can see the kind of person Xu Tuzi is.

Anyway, I wanted to become a disciple and practice.

Jiang Yun's current obsession is to embark on the path of spiritual practice and find out the truth about the family tragedy. As long as he can teach himself how to practice spiritual practice, helping Xu Tuzi make money is regarded as a rite of apprenticeship.
