"Who is it?!" Xiang Nan was startled and quickly followed the sound.

Suddenly, an old man in cloth clothes emerged from the bushes. He was short and fat, with a gray goatee on his chin, and a few fallen grass leaves stuck to his clothes. He looked like a homeless old bachelor.

Seeing his venerable appearance, Xiang Nan immediately recognized him as the charlatan who tricked Li Dazui into learning the "Ten Slaps to Subdue the Dragon".

"It turns out it's him." Xiang Nan was determined, and he immediately stepped forward and asked sternly, "Who are you? If you don't know the rules of the world, if you spy on people performing martial arts, will your eyes be gouged out?"

"Hey, young man, don't be rash. Do you know who I am?" When the old man saw this, he was not only not afraid, but also puffed up his chest, looking like an unpredictable and mysterious man.

"Who are you?" Although Xiang Nan knew who he was, he still asked pretending not to know.

"I am none other than Hong Riqing, the fifth generation master of the Ten Slaps of the Dragon." The old man straightened his back and said proudly.

"Ten Slaps to Subdue the Dragon?! Are they real or fake?" Xiang Nan frowned, "Okay, then I'll try your skills and accept the moves!"

As he said that, he rode on his horse and squatted on his crotch, circulating his inner breath, and prepared the [Stormful Waves] style to get ready to go.

"Stop!" Hong Riqing was startled when he saw it, jumped back and shouted loudly.

"Are you afraid?" Xiang Nan said as he put away his palm skills.

"Don't talk wildly in future generations. I'm just sorry that your cultivation is not easy, and I don't want to hurt you with my inner strength." Hong Riqing said proudly, stroking his goatee.

But Xiang Nan saw that his hands were shaking slightly, and he was obviously frightened so much that his whole body was trembling.

"Do you know that I have both Rendu and Du meridians connected, and my whole body is full of true energy. If you rub it, you will die, if you touch it, you will die." Hong Riqing explained.

"Real or fake?" Xiang Nan asked confused.

"If you don't believe it, come with me." Hong Riqing led Xiang Nan through the bushes and came to an open space. He pointed to a big tree as thick as an arm and said, "Today I will show you, I will subdue the dragon ten times."

The slap is so powerful ~ Qinglong goes out to sea!"

He shouted loudly and slapped the big tree with his palm.

The big tree swayed twice, then collapsed with a creak.

Xiang Nan looked at the flat stubble at the root of the big tree and felt that this old man was really insulting his IQ.

The stubble was obviously cut with a saw, and only Li Dazui was so stupid that he fell into such evil traps.

"However, this old liar can be used for something." Xiang Nan suddenly thought, and then said loudly, "Senior Hong's martial arts is indeed superb and has reached the peak. I am convinced. I sincerely ask you to accept me as your disciple and teach me my unique skills."

"Seeing as your qualifications are quite good, it might not be a bad idea to accept you as my disciple." The old liar nodded, "It's just that skills are not passed on lightly, so you must show sincerity."

"That's natural." Xiang Nan nodded, "The junior is the chef of Tongfu Inn and is good at cooking. If the senior likes it, the junior will definitely do his best."

Hearing what he said, the old liar's Adam's apple suddenly twitched, and he was obviously so greedy that he swallowed his saliva, "Okay, I will accept you as my apprentice. Tomorrow, you can bring a roast chicken and a hoof over to formally become my apprentice."

"Yes, thank you, master. Disciple, take your leave." Xiang Nan said with a smile, then used Qing Gong and left.

After Xiang Nan left, the old liar was both scared and excited.

What I'm afraid of is that I didn't expect Xiang Nan's martial arts to be so high. If he hadn't been frightened just now, his life might be in danger;

What was exciting was that Xiang Nan was not smart and was completely fooled by him. By accepting a chef as his apprentice, he would not have to worry about food and drink in the future.

"I have to work harder to keep this meal ticket." He then took out the saw from the bushes, pointed it at a big tree and started sawing again.

…

Xiang Nan returned to the inn and saw Mr. Xing coming to deliver a letter to shopkeeper Tong.

When shopkeeper Tong saw it, he immediately let out a scream.

"What's wrong?" Bai Zhantang, Xiang Nan, Guo Furong, and Lu Xiucai all came over and asked.

"White Horse Academy Admission Notice?!" Lu Xiucai had already read out the new content, "School will start on the 15th, isn't that the day after tomorrow?"

"Xiao Bei... finally grew up." Shopkeeper Tong said excitedly.

"No way, eldest sister, she has just entered elementary school." Guo Furong said with a smile.

"Well, I haven't gone to school yet." Shopkeeper Tong choked and ran upstairs.

"What's wrong with her?" Xing Captou asked curiously.

Everyone also shook their heads, puzzled.

…

After lunch, Xiang Nan found Guo Furong.

"Miss Guo, I met an expert hermit today. He said that I have the potential to practice martial arts and is willing to accept me as a disciple." He said to Guo Furong.

"Really?!" Guo Furong opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Big Mouth, do you still have such a good fortune?" Bai Zhantang heard this and came over and said, "Let me tell you, it is not easy to meet an expert. Be careful and you will encounter a charlatan."

"Yes, there is such a thing." Guo Furong nodded, "Brother Big Mouth, how do you know he is an expert?"

"Such a thick tree can be broken with one palm. How can it be considered a master?" Xiang Nan gestured and said, "People also say that he has already gained access to the Ren and Du meridian."

"Oh, is it true?" Guo Furong was filled with admiration after hearing this.

"Big Mouth is really talented, okay!" Bai Zhantang smiled and nodded, "Big Mouth, you study hard. When you become a master in the future, if someone makes trouble in the future, I won't need to take action."

"Okay." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.

…

"Zhantang, are you sure that Da Zui's apprenticeship is reliable?" Tong Xiangyu also found out about this later and quietly discussed it with Bai Zhantang.

As far as she knew, there were many wild foxes in the world who claimed to have magical skills and deceived people to learn skills from their masters. The people who were deceived were often deceived into losing their entire fortune and their families.

So we have to guard against it!

"From what Big Mouth said, it's quite evil anyway." Bai Zhantang curled his lips and said.

It is a bit unusual for a senior hermit expert to take a fancy to Xiang Nan and teach him his unique skills.

After all, there are so many hermits and masters in the world, but they still choose Xiang Nan to accept him as his disciple? There is no such thing as a good thing.

"In this case, if you find an opportunity, follow me secretly to have a look, and don't let Big Mouth be fooled." Tong Xiangyu instructed.

Bai Zhantang nodded, "Okay, I understand."

…

Another day later, after Xiang Nan finished breakfast, he carried a roast chicken and a hoof and went straight to Cuiwei Mountain.

"Zhantang~" Shopkeeper Tong pouted at Bai Zhantang when he saw it.

"I have the order." Bai Zhantang immediately jumped up and followed him.

Xiang Nan came all the way to Cuiwei Mountain. Where they met yesterday, he shouted loudly, "Master, the disciple is here~"

"Okay, okay, okay, come here quickly." Hong Riqing emerged from the bushes and said, his eyes lit up when he saw the roast chicken and hooves Xiang Nan was carrying.

Xiang Nan immediately walked over, offered the roasted chicken, and said, "Master, please accept me as your disciple."
